I’m asexual. I’m also a chaos gremlin.
Can you suggest any weird/funny/unconventional ways to come out to my family? We’re a Christian family, but my mom and older sister are way more conservative than I am. I feel like coming out will go better if I get some laughs out of it.
- "I'm considering a career in nunnery/as a priest" ('people who complain about abstinence are weak. i could obliterate them all, it's not like i'm interested anyway, i reckon i could survive without sex. for religion, of course. to stay... devoted. not because i'm not interested. except that i dont tend to be.' 😌)
- "I'm not interested in the opposite gender." [later, after whatever scandalous reaction] "oh, i'm not interested in the same gender either :P"]
- "I've decided to make like Mary"
- "where has all the sexy gone in the world? men are oof, women are ehh, when will this change?"
- (goes on to lament on the good old days of medieval age dragons-riders and proceed to completely blend history up, talking about people in cool armour that never had sex because armour is too noisy to take off and they spent all their time busy dueling arch nemesis')
- "pick a card, any card" and then do a bunch of random magic-trick-like things but when you go "is this your card?" and they say 'no' whip out an ace of whatever and go "well, this is mine."
- suddenly gain a very vocal interest in types of asexual reproduction
- break a normal conversation with "by the way i'm asexual and that means im not attracted to anyone sexually" and then continue the conversation
- *sex scene of a movie comes on* "my ace heart didn't need this today"
- "i have such high standards that i've evaded the sin of lust like a boss"
