I will always be a normal guy defender, I don't want vigilantes who always look like super models unless it makes sense for their characters (Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Kori Anders). I want super-heros that look like the guy you could stumble on the supermarket. Your classmate. Your coworker. A random face in a ocean of people. Absolutely and completely forgetful unless you love them.
I want super-heros to take of their mask and the person be like "THAT'S JUST SOME GUY." their face leak and people be like "WHO 🗣️🗣️ THE FUCK IS THAT⁉️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥" enough with conventionally attractive heros who look like bodybuilders more some heros who would be your Uber driver and you wouldn't pay attention to them twice.

eric foreman is representation for deeply repressed weirdos who are clinging to normalcy with splintered nails and blistered palms. representation for people who lost something fundamental along the way. for people who want to go home, to be the person they thought they were. representation for people who can’t face what they’ve become because it’s who they’ve always been

On the topic of gender thoughts, one thing that’s been difficult to explain to cis people who’ve never really thought of gender before is that I always specify “genderfluid” rather than saying “nonbinary” (they ask for some reason) because in my own understanding of my gender, it doesn’t fit very well, because even tho I do have many days where I’ll feel nonbinary or agender, I also have many days where there’s very much a binary gender going on
And they just. Stare at me like I’m explaining calculus to them.

Something funny happened. Or maybe is happening?
So me and a fellow aroace friend made a lil fun idea for Valentine's, since as aros, we have no desire to do any task the holiday is meant to be done with someone else, and also that we don't actually have anyone, so we told ourselves to make one for each other, but make it that it was supposed to be from someone that was in love with us for so long and it was supposed to be 'anonymous'.
So there I was last night, writing the word to say in that faux love letter, and after many hours, this is what I came up with:
Dear Mika,
And that's it. That's literally it.
Every time I try to write something romantic, by brain.exe refuses to continue to operate. I can't even ask heart.exe for help because that one is even more so confused!
So I opened my phone and texted her about my letter for her, and guess what? She updated her letter for me, and her response was that her head was hurting from all this fake-assery.
It kinda means something a lil deeper for me than a few laughs, really. It's like, as aromantics, we don't just "not experience romantic attraction", it's also up to the point that we are literally unable to understand and grasp the concept of romance as a whole. Even though we may think we do, when faced a hurdle that evolves actual romance, we're unable to jump through it.
There's only so much faking can do, and deep inside, we can't really say that we understand the alloromantics as much as we do, because that's on a completely different brain wave process.

An actual exchange I had with one of my students today during my office hours:
Student who regularly shows up just to hang out: Hey you seem kinda stressed what's up
Me: oh nothing much, I just write as a hobby and someone said some mean things to a newer writer to the community and *gives her a summary*
Student: community? Lmao it's okay you can say fandom. ...So do you post on AO3 or what?
Me:
Student: You are posting to AO3 right? We've both talked about tumblr so it's not that far of a leap
Me: ........................yes
Student: Okay good, I just didn't want to hear Wattpad because you deserve better than that.
