MOGAI ABCs again

Love - do you experience love? in what ways? what's your relationship to love as a concept?

We do, yeah. Like the rest of our emotions, we think we experience it 'wrong', distinctly different than the standard, in a way that we don't understand and don't like not understanding. We've got more internalized aphobia than we generally are willing to admit, and find it hard to take pride in being aroaceapl, feeling like we're broken and mangled in ways impossible to rectify. We love our friends, we love our pets, we love our community, we love our work, we love our studies, and yet it always seems to be off in ways we can't put our finger on, disconnected from us and leaving us wondering if we *actually* love or if we, in desperation, are claiming the shadows on the wall to be three-dimensional physicalities. Maybe when we're older this will change, if we ever get some reliable stability in our life, get treatment for our dissociation and adjacent problems, but I'm not holding my breath. We know that we're just... fundamentally different, than what we're supposed to be, than the people around us, and love seems to just be another area where that's visible and there's little we can do but shrug our shoulders and accept that's the way things are

A lovestimmic gender related to loving bugs soooo much that it makes you want to stim and run around for hours and hours. yay!

(Bugs in this case is not referring to only 'insects'. Things like spiders and worms count!)

Gift for @jinxneo

Note: might make beetle version for a character of mine.. this character loves bugs. I have some form of entomophobia. irony.
