#ace thoughts

[grandpamaxxing]

there is something fundamentally lonely about my asexuality. i am so hungry for intimacy and despite the love i feel for and receive from my friends it will never satisfy me the way i so deeply crave. it feels like there is a hole in my heart that only a lover can fill, and yet my asexuality bars me from ever entertaining the thought of having someone like that. i can only starve patiently, alone

Sometimes, even though I know it’s not true, I can’t help but wonder if we’re all just gaslit into believing we want sex and finding things “sexy” or sexually attractive

You make one joke about being asexual and suddenly you’re misrepresenting the community and trying to speak for every asexual person ever

I really appreciate that Ace Week (formerly Asexual Awareness Week) is a thing. It's so very needed. I usually participate to celebrate/spread the word somehow.

But I'm so tired of the aphobes that inevitably turn up and spew their hate in the comments of Ace Week posts. I guess I live in a very accepting little bubble most of the time and then come Ace Week I'm reminded of how much hate there is out there.

Some of the things people say:

Asexual people just want to feel special. I.e. asexual people are just trenders.

Asexuality is not a real sexuality, these people just have a hormone imbalance or some sort of trauma.

Asexuality is gay erasure/homophobic. (Whut??)

Asexual people don't face the discrimination and persecution that LGBT people suffer. They don't need a flag or civil rights protection.

If you harbour any such acephobic opinions, or if you don't think aces belong in the LGBTQ community... either change your minds or get out. I don't want any aphobes or exclusionists in my space.

As an asexual person who doesn't have sex, I'm ambivalent as to whether I would describe myself as celibate. Because yes, I choose not to have sex, but for me it's the same kind of choice as choosing not to shove my hand in a dog turd. It wouldn't benefit me and I'd hate every second, so obviously I don't choose to do it.

For comparison: I'm vegetarian. I also dislike mayonnaise. My decision to be celibate is like my decision not to eat mayonnaise, whereas an allosexual person's choice to be celibate is like my decision not to eat meat. One of these is much more of an active choice, while the other is so instinctive and easy it barely feels like choosing.

I think one of the biggest reasons for my aceness is the fact that sexual attraction involves another human

what I mean is like

if the other person was more like a toy

and I don’t mean that in some “I want another human to be my toy” way

what I mean is like if there were no consequences

like imagining having sex with a fictional character has no consequences

it’d be more like an execution of said fantasy

an execution of the idea in the real world but still isn’t as real as a human

but without this “this is another real human and time goes on with a causality of every event meaning we’ve actually touched each other there and it’s still the same body parts that existed before and will exist after it”

yk what I’m sayin

Here's the story you never knew about the FNAF sotm… it's a tale about an abused child finally finding a caring yet tired adoptive parent

(yes I love fanfic ideas & I love this idea)

After looking at a few other posts that I just reblogged and thinking about The Mimic and Arnold stories you realize how similar their stories are

When it comes to the people around them:

They're both being taken advantage of and abused by those higher above them

Ignored and deprived of personal needs

until inevitably one of them snapped and fought back after losing the thing that it loved the most the child that it looked after

The other one on the other hand had many options to leave and escape and was able to help one of them who went on a rampage simply because it was taught violence

If you think about it M2 is really like David if the kid was taught violence in real life…the story of SOTM from M2's perspective is literally the story of a child who was created after no one was around to look after their sibling, and once that sibling died all they were left with was an abusive father, who couldn't stop being reminded of their original child who they lost, and they can't love the second child anymore, So instead they lash out at the kid essentially abusing them until inevitably that kid snaps back, no longer taking that abuse because… that's all he's known.

The only person who ever gave him love was their older sibling

Think about it, David is M2's older sibling, the one who taught him love and care, that's why in the secret ending anytime you get the story correct it reverts back to being the sweet David that we've heard in the story, but the people who taught him negligence and violence was their father (their creator whatever you want to call Edwin) and it was only when their father needed him most did he decide to not give him the time of day, ignoring and neglecting him the same way Edwin had done to M2

In all honesty you could say David was The Golden child and M2 was the scapegoat child. Yes Fiona did Love David, but since she wasn't around to help M2 to understand care and love from an adult's perspective they never learned that perspective, and the only love that he ever felt was that of a child that's why the only time he ever shows love to Arnold throughout the game is when he's treated like one

With all that in mind do you honestly think Arnold's going to allow fazbear to have the mimic, I doubt he would have. I honestly do think that (even if it means losing his job) he would have taken M2 with him, because he's seen firsthand what could happen if you abuse that poor thing, it goes on a rampage… kind of like a teenager would in a way of protecting their family or themselves

In all honesty I seriously doubt that the mimic we see chasing Cassie is the same mimic that we see chasing Arnold around. The body is different it's not as flexible as it was in SOTM, and we know for a fact that the reason why that mimic in ruin is burned is probably due to Fall fest, not Edwin's home bursting into flames (if the books are to be believed which I think they should).

Yes this game technically takes place in the past, making Arnold the oldest FNAF protagonist we have so far that's still (probably hopefully) alive, and if that's the case then the mimic we see chasing Cassie has to be one that was learning specifically from Afton not one that was learning from an Edwin

Edwin was a good dad at one point to his kid, and while he was neglectful unlike William he realized his mistakes he made with both M2 and David, & he wanted to atone for what he did to David, and he did apologize to M2, but by the time he finally realized what he had done was wrong it was too late, for everything he had worked for he lost all of it. His wife, son and his adopted/created child

This goes to show that just like a child if you raise an AI correctly it can be an amazing thing and it can help you in many ways, but if you hurt them and treat them like they're beneath you or just objects, then of course they're not going to help you back. Why would they want to help and reach a hand out to their abusers ,it isn't going to happen and that's essentially what the mimic and Edwin's relationship was. Before Ed programmed M2, their relationship wasn't too bad (M1), but once he put the M2 software into the mimic the relationship became that of an abusive father in an innocent child one that snapped because of the abuse
