(to everyone) What motivated you to join the support club?
Thyme:
I guess for me the question is what motivated me to create it?
I am secure in my ace identity now, but I wasn't always. It was a long, hard journey, a lot of pain, a lot of confusion, and I essentially had to do it alone. So I just wanted other aces who are on that journey to have a support structure and a safe space to talk about it! :)
Aurelius:
Wow, yeah, I can't top that answer so I'm not even gonna try.
I realized I was ace very recently, and only thanks to Thyme. So when I heard they wanted to create the group, I was immediately on board. Like, hell yeah! New venture! New connections, new information, new stage of my life, and one of the coolest people I know as our fearless leader!
Aurelius, I don't know if I'd call myself a fearless leader, or "one of the coolest people"...
Châu:
it's true though. i'm here because of thyme.
If trees could blush, this one would be doing it.
Stella, bouncing and raising her hand:
Oh!! Me!✨✨
Yes, Stella?
☺!
...
.....wait what was the question??
Aurelius snorts.
What motivated you to join this group?
Oh!! Well... I don't know anyone here! I wanted to make friends! So I looked through the list of extracari- extraco-
Extracurriculars?
Yes! Looked at the extracurriculars and thought, omg, no way!!🤩 open to all acespecs! that's me!!
That it is! So glad you joined us.
Thyme pats Stella's head.
What about you, little dude?
Fedya:
!! (⊙ _ ⊙;)
I- Um- The, uh-
You're new here as well, right? And you're far from home. It must be very scary and stressful.
Fedya nods frantically.
And you're questioning your identity! That's a lot of stuff. Did you join because you wanted some stability?
Fedya nods less frantically.
I hope we can help with that.
Oh definitely. It's gonna be awesome.
Yaay! Friendship!!
Stella scoops everyone into a hug.
Not MG though.
MG is not in the room.
