When that one crack after waking up removes the joint pain you've been having for DAYS

[teacupwriter]

tired: showing characters are friends by having them just mercilessly tear into each other 24/7, constantly putting each other down for comic relief

wired: writing a friend group whose dynamic is based on mutual support and sticking up for one another, plus a hefty dose of (good-natured) teasing and like- arm wrestling or whatever

me: *writes something and shares it on the internet*

*doesn’t instantly receive the response i was hoping for*

my foolish brain: welp, time to delete the thing and also wipe any trace of my existence from the web, set my laptop on fire, and run away to the woods

Worldbuilding is all fun and games until you realize you have to somehow convey this information in the Actual Story.

here’s the thing about overused romance tropes. you gotta ask yourself: perhaps it’s been done, but has it been gay?

🌈 a coming out ✨

I know this isn’t really a big deal, but. Making this post is important to me, so:

I recently came to the realization that I am a lesbian!

Before, I wrongly identified as biromantic asexual. But I want to be clear that even though this label turned out to be wrong for me, I will always respect and support a-spec people, and defend their place in the lgbtq+ community.

As a teenager, I misinterpreted my lack of sexual attraction to guys as a lack of any sexual attraction at all. I never felt totally comfortable identifying as ace (which is why I was pretty quiet about it.) For a while I wondered if I could be biromantic homosexual, or grey ace but only sexually attracted to women & lesbians. I was just full of ???? in general. I felt like I was missing something.

The epiphany came when I started researching lesbians, reading more about lesbian experiences and compulsory heterosexuality, and ALL of it hit home. I don’t experience any real attraction to men, romantic or sexual. I’m attracted to women, lesbians, and women/lesbian-aligned nonbinary people only.

(Why did it take me so long to work this out? Who knows. There’s a lot of weird stuff taking up space in my brain. Also, comp het is a real trip.)

Anyways, tl;dr - hey, I’m a lesbian. I’m not bi ace. But my journey is mine alone, and it shouldn’t invalidate anyone else’s. I love all of you, this has been a very over-sharing post, please DO NOT REBLOG but likes are very much appreciated, so I know people saw it. ♥︎
