having libido as asexual person is weird because I know it's only biology, it's not really sexual attraction just this physical itch but I still will be questioning my asexuality almost every single time when it happens

[repulsed-confessions]

Also sick of the idea that having loads of sex and being super kinky is the only acceptable way to be progressive. I should not be seen as regressive, conservative or a ‘puritan’ simply because I myself am sex repulsed and do not want to be involved in anything sexual.

Actually, in a society that relentlessly sexualises everyone and everything, pushes compulsory sexuality onto everyone, portrays sexual attractiveness and level of sexual activity as a huge part of what determines someone’s ‘worth’, and portrays sexual relationships as one of the most important things there is, I think refusing to take part in any of that at all and completely rejecting it is really subversive and equally as valid. I thought the whole point of liberation was that everyone gets to be free to decide what they want- why is it such an issue for so many people in ‘progressive’ spaces, then, when the choice that a person makes is that they don’t wish to be sexualised or be sexual at all?

going from a child who adores romance and dreamed of finding true love to an asexual adult who knows nobody will ever love them purely because they wont give up their body

[where-random-thoughts-go-to-die]

As we enter February please remember to show your family and friends how much you love them as well. Familiar and platonic love and anything outside of romantic is just as important and deserves attention as well. Take a look around you and notice all types of love you have in your life.

And if a friend shows you their appreciation and love for you do not blow it off as being less important than romantic love.

Lowkey I hate when people hc relationships that are literally THE DEFINITION of QPRs as romantic.

“They would be so cute as a cou-“ they’re literally just friends let them be friends

“But they said I love y-“ oh and if I said I love you to my sibling would that be incest???

“Read into the subtext” I ship so many characters together that aren’t canon because they have romance in subtext. These two are close but they don’t make any sense.

“But they have so much chem-“ CAN WE LET PEOPLE HAVE FRIENDSHIPS OHMYGOD

And when the ship is queer I have to prove I’m not a homophobe? No? I’m asexual? Shut up?

There are so many good friends that become love interests but sometimes they’re just friends and they don’t need to be anything other than friends to have a good narrative relationship. Please I’m done with making these poor characters kiss each other…

I'm about to lose my shit why does every single close friend of mine get a crush on me

It's like

At least 6 ppl at this point have been friends that admit to crushing on me

I'm gonna start losing it

​if i had a nickel for every time a close platonic bond was just a long-con for someone falling in love with me,,

​id have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird (and exhausting) that it happened twice.

​it's the logic that kills me. they always use the same script . . .

​“i wouldn't have done [x] for just a normal friend”

​“i only did all that because i had a crush on you”

​so...

the kindness was just a down payment?

​silly me for thinking i finally found a best friend who cared about me for me, and not as some romantic investment they were waiting to cash in.

. . . it’s such a specific kind of grief when you realize the person you trusted was playing a completely different game the whole time.

This probably doesn’t make much sense but I think I had to get it out of my system (for the last 3 years oof). This will most likely never see the light of day on TikTok and YT so I’ll just upload it here
