friendly reminder that you can absolutely use umbrella terms if you don't want to define every single detail of your orientation. for example, I know I am part of the aro spectrum and I could use many micro labels to describe my experience but sometimes I just don't want to give a lengthening lesson of my identity to others if I come out or I just feel overwhelmed with too many labels. And it's absolutely okay to just say I'm aro. aromantic can be enough 🥰. hope this helps someone else out there!! 💚
Today, I bring you one of the first drawings that I made for Mikami 2. The original draft is dated June 13th, 2022, but I couldn't resist polishing things up before posting it C:
[image ID: a digital drawing of Near and Mikami based on this scene from Brooklyn 99. In the first panel, Near asks, "Do I even weigh anything to you?" and in the second panel, Mikami replies, "No, it's like holding a couple of grapes." An arrow points to Mikami that reads, "has gone to the gym regularly for 10+ years." Both characters are smiling and look like they're having a good time. End image ID.]

when you're part of the grey area of aromanticism or asexuality there are many shared experiences with fellow a-specs (like aromantic and asexual) but you can also slightly understand the allo experience. so it's like a double confusion... because you may experience attraction every other day, week, month, and/or year, but also what kind of attraction is this? and do I want to pursue something serious with them? what if my feelings aren't as intense or don't last long enough for something serious? what if they don't feel the same way because I've waited to long to confess because I didn't feel like this when we first met? and if things ultimately work out and it's a mutual thing, then what things do we do in a "romantic relationship"? what constitutes one? do I even want a romance? why can't I just define my relationship and boundaries with my partner without sticking to the normative romance? Oh, wait! I can! fuck amatonormativity.
Summer monsoon. Sun is already setting. The sky is darker than yellow. And the air is still fresh and cold. The little things. The small moments. That's what makes life special. 🔆✨🌊☁️💛
A beautiful gay ace from a bygone era, at times when homosexuality was still a criminal offense even in the Western culture area, who struggled frequently with is his sexual identity throughout his life, feeling guilty for being gay.
KENNETH WILLIAMS (1926-1988)
British actor, comedian and writer
Always remember how much past queer generations, whether celebrities or ordinary people, suffered secretly because of social exclusion, obsolete moral values and criminalization, but also played a part in contributing to fight prejudices for liberation and tolerance through their art, with courageously resolute actions or just by showing their wonderfully unique selves without fear of any consequences.
Even if there’s much left to do in so many parts of the world, all those precious icons did so much for the freedom the community is living today, at least in the Western world. Shield everybody who is still exposed to intolerance, oppression and persecution!
In this spirit, carry on celebrating YOUR PRIDE!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
