“ugh this is such an annoying stereotype, not all femmes wear pink!”
don’t care + didn’t ask + you’re in my kingdom and all the posts on my blog are about me, princess barbie. every day that I get dressed I want to look and smell like a strawberry shortcake doll. I always drink pink lemonade over regular even when it tastes the same. I’ve put pink edible glitter in my water for years. I opt for pink noise over any other noise bc it’s pink, I don’t even think it sounds different. if pink is an option I’m getting it in pink. my bedsheets, my trash bags, wrapping paper, tarot cards, headphones, makeup brushes, all pink. I bring a very glinda energy to the function after I found butchfemme dynamics and relearned how to love my femininity. maybe it’s a “stereotype” bc it’s actually very!!! common!!!! for femmes to reinvigorate their love for pink the same way??
pmo in my own reblogs go write your own fuckin post about how you love dressing like a back of the house jimmy john’s worker since you’re so fucking passionate about it then bitch damn
Tw: Vent/ Rant. Aphobia, racism, relationship hiarchy, sex talk, the bean soup theory.
I'm fed up with how ungrateful fanfic readers have become. I sound way more upset then I actually am, I'm just really passionate.
Most of you are children that shouldn't even be on my fucking page and I'm lowkey done I catch you on my page. The fact that one of you made a whole new account just to comment some bullshit is enough for me to know you dont actually care about this topic as something serious, youre just hating because you feel bad about yourself and think being a jerk online will help you. Newsflash it wont.
Don't care, Block me.
This is about sex favorable aroace grace and alloromantic allosexual carl, just so yall know.
Ive gotten anonymous asks telling me im a bad person, that I "am not actually aro if you write romance" (thats what my pinned post is about), that i "am taking away representation", that im racist for making carl his friend with benefits because it "plays into anti black stereotypes" Like im sorry? Is this not 2026?? Are we not over the whole sex positivity thing??
Yall always want reputation until its not exactly to your liking and its getting annoying. "We need more representation of complex identities" but freak out when an asexual is sex favorable because it feels good sometimes. "But what if sex feels bad for me?" Then dont read smut?? Why are you at the lemonade stand if you want to buy fucking grapes?? Go to the grape store!! All I have is lemonade!! I don't have any grapes!
If youre too young to know what thats referencing do me a favor and block me because youre too young to be here.
Ive even gotten one on Ao3 saying I cant write grace getting married because "marriage is for love and clearly grace cant love if hes aromantic" which is a WILDE statement.
Ive seen demisexual simon, I have not seen any Aceflux grace. Aceflux is under the asexual umbrella. Grace can not feel romance but he can feel love 100%. He loves Carl. Also marriage is mainly legaliality for taxes, you don't HAVE to be in love or romantic to get married. Anyone can be married for what ever reason. You can be in a relationship where romance isn't there, you can be in a marriage with no love at all BY CHOICE, its considered fraud because of taxes. There's no laws saying you HAVE to have romance to be married.
I could make them roommates and still married. I can make carl bi, sleep with and be romantic with my oc susan (and STILL be married to grace because of legal bondage benifits (but i wont because that's not the story I want to tell)
In the fic Im having someone tell Grace that he doesn't want a partner, he wants a best friend, and Grace is on the brink of tears "Is.. is there something wrong with that? Why.. why does everyone act like your partner being your best friend is such a bad thing..?"
Some could chop it up as "Grace dosnt understand because he doesn't understand the difference" but the issue is everyone labeling any sort of intimacy as romantic and telling those who want intamacy but not romance that theyre bad people.
I dont think im capable of feeling actual romance. I think I want a bestest friend to kiss and get sexual gratification from once and if im ever ready. I don't want a traditional marriage but I want to get married (mainly for benefits despite the fact im disabled and will loose all my benifits when and if I do marry- which is bullshit by the way) because socially it is so much easier to live life when married. If it was up to me we would have a pretend wedding to signify loyalty and thats it. But legal matters, its super hard to go through out legal life with your "room mate" or "boyfriend"
Grace and Carl have a companionate relationship. Theyre room mates who are best friends and when in the mood do sexual stuff and kiss to show affection. Sure, Carl is alloromantic and feels romantically towards grace, especially when Ryland is cuddly or introduces him to people proudly as his husband, but he knows the situation hes in. He knows that Grace doesn't have the same feelings. He knows grace loves him and thats all that matters to him.
Both of them are happy
Thats all that SHOULD matter.
Fanfic writers work for FREE, ussually for their own indulgence because what they want to read dosnt exist yet. YOU write something if you want to read it. We do. For free. And all you guys do is complain.
"Well I don't want to read about kissing stuff" then don't. Write your own where grace is disgusted by kissing! Love that for him!
Its OKAY!! I and many many other people love and support you for who you are. If you are ace and you get repulsed by smooching, that is A-okay! Write grace repulsed by smooching!
If youre Aromantic and do not like relationships, write grace in no relationships! Please! I want to read that too. But im using my free time, spending HOURS to write what *I* want to. Please do the same!
"But what if I dont want grace to get married because I don't want to get married?" Thats awsome man, write about Grace not connecting with the concept of marriage! Write him feeling icky about it! I love grace who jumps out the window the second his partner talks about marriage. So much actually. This story specifically though is for ME and what I feel.
Write what YOU want to read and what you feel! Please! I want you guys to write! Even if you dont think it will be good. You might be surprised with yourself! I was afraid to write when I was young. Now im not.
I love reading Grace in different dynamics, drop fics of Grace being complex. I want to read complex grace and so do so many others!
TL:DR Don't make bean soup if you hate beans! Cook something else!
Also- ignoring my sex repulsed grace fics and only honing in on this one because hes not repulsed feels telling about your stance on asexuality. You dont actually care about rep you just want something to be mad about.
I was out looking at the pruning that needs to be done on my apple trees and got this shot of the sun coming up.
The sun is rising a lot farther to the south now. Winter is not too far away. 🥶
I’m going to make a pot of bean soup today and it is going to be 15 Bean soup. The beans are locally grown and packaged and I have never used these before. I am excited to get started. I love making soup. 😍
I won’t be using the Cajun flavor packet that came with it though. They had others there but I didn’t look. I do have some have some prime ham pieces to cut up. Yum. 😋
People are really coming for the creative team on insta now and all the comments are in English. Are people not embarrassed?! Maybe this remake wasn’t for you then, ever thought of that? Not every piece of media you consume has to cater to your needs?
ALL the criticism boils down to „not enough physical intimacy“. And crying over scenes that didn’t happen, so basically still waiting for exact copies of the original. I’m sorry, but talks about movies or parallel universes have to make sense for the characters and they have to fit them. I would have side-eyed Lovro if after five weeks he suddenly would have started to philosophize about yellow curtains and infinite numbers of Lovro. Please.
But - I have deleted it now like I wanted and I hope those who this season was actually for, are happy with it 🙏🏽
I’m gonna be a bit ranty for a minute, because this kind of topic has been on my mind over the past year, so bare with me.
(Read below because this is kinda long)
I’ve fortunately only gotten a small handful of people who “complain” or tell me I make all my horror stories bleak and have bad endings (not true btw), and basically tell me that I should make them have a happy ending or something. As if going onto the HORROR blog of an artist who LIKES to ALSO draw bleak stories, and posting them in their HORROR blog because they think it’s FUN and wants to SHARE their art, isn’t setting in their mind.
Like, you wouldn’t tell Junji Ito, a renowned japanese horror artist, who has made such beautiful illustrations and stories, that he should stop doing that just because his stories are often unsettling, disturbing or bleak. You wouldn’t go to Harlan Ellison, the guy who wrote a lot of influential works like IHNMAIMS (a story that practically shaped the scifi horror and psychological horror genre today), and complain that all his works are so negative and nihilistic, and that he should make something more positive. Actually, I think he wrote a very awful and gruesome story because someone told him to make one with a lighter theme (He was a very abrasive man, but still).
I don’t understand why some people now have this kind of “bean soup” mentality, and just can’t fathom that some stories are made FOR FUN, and are NOT ALWAYS FOR THEM!
Not everything has a meaning, not everything is catered to you, not every web comic or blog you see is made for profit or to gather the most amount of engagement they can. You don’t need a reason for everything to happen in a god damn story either, you can literally just go “I thought it was fun” or “I thought it was cool” or “I just like drawing/writing that” and that’s as valid of an opinion as any other.
It’s so frustrating when something is so clearly made FOR THE CREATOR, but just so happens that other people like it as well, only for a certain group of people to go “this sucks because it’s not something I like/is repetitive, the person needs to change that so that I can like it.” Have people forgotten that the block button exists? That they have the free will to just scroll away? Or is someone forcing them to interact with every single post they come across, whether or not they like it, and voice their opinion? It makes me want to throw rocks.
