Aros and aces, honestly experiencing and loving something: man i just love being platonically nice to someone and caring for them! so fun! I love it so much :D
Someone annoying: Yes, being good to each other and walking dogs and washing dishes is Actually What Makes a Marriage Work! Romance won't get you through the bad times when someone's sick or the car won't start! Romance is inessential, like dessert!
Me who deeply desires romantic love: does...does that mean...the romance I want doesn't matter? it's not as important as dogs and dishes? it's less than? it's unworthy?
Every pastor ever at every wedding ever: Marriage is Hard! Romance is a Lie cooked up by Society! Love is Not a Feeling!
Me, crying: but...I want it...I want love to be something I look for and find and take care of...I want romance...I want romantic love...
Tumblr: You know romantic love is a made-up story, right? Written by Society?
Me: But...but it's written by so many different people, in so many different ways, and I'm writing it too, and everybody in the Whole World is telling me my dreams don't matter, that Romantic Love shouldn't be deeply valued and important.
So I'm askin' if it's true.
I'm askin' me, and you, and you, and you.

There's a certain intrigue in just observing people.
Every now and then I'm struck by the fact that there are human beings, other than myself, living their own little lives, with their own worries, their own responsibilities, doing their silly little tasks, their weird habits, their own peculiar interests and fascinating hobbies.
Whenever it strikes me, i can't help myself from looking out the window, be it out of a bus, a car or out of my apartment, and just observing.
I might look at the vegetable stall aunty, carefully arranging her vibrant produce. Or the mom of two dragging her toddlers along to the bus stop, carrying their cute water bottles while she wrestles the boy's arm away from his sister's face. Or the cranky taxi driver blaring his horn at the old man parked in front of him, who was only a few seconds slow to shift into gear as the signal lit up green.
It occurs to me that they too are living. I get so caught up with my life that i forget.
Being reminded of this, every time, every single time, I question the basic function of life. Or more specifically consciousness. How do chemicals and electrical signals translate to something intangible and incomprehensible.
The science of the body is mostly understood and well studied. In contrast, the science of the mind although just as well studied, is not always concrete in all its various specificities.
How much of a consciousness does an amoeba have compared to a caterpillar? Is the conscious even measurable? Or what counts as consciousness, is it freedom from being driven purely by biological instincts? I hope to find my own answers to these...
I fear I've strayed a little ways off from my initial thoughts. Thinking more on it, it occurs to me that most of what I've done is for other people, and yet i keep forgetting that they live a life both separate and interwoven with mine. Even this moderately long post, it's for all the silly, the intricate, the stressful, the lonely, and the loveable lives lived by whoever happens to read it.
That's it. Thank you for reading all of... THIS.

HQ Antiromantic and Antisexual Flag Remakes
An Aro-spec Romance-Negative/Repulsed/Adverse identity and an Ace-spec Sex-Negative/Repulsed/Adverse identity.
Made because I was doing a request and realized that these flags had some weird scanlines on some of the stripes
The two stripes before last one also had some major contrast issues for me as a half-blind person so I redid the color on the 2nd to last to be less similar while still trying to keep the original gradient
Flags were originally made by @beyond-mogai-pride-flags [ LINK ]
Should both be 5000 x 3000

It's so confusing even to me sometimes especially when it perhaps matters the most how I am an empath as in I will feel like crying while watching someone else cry out if their hearts and I could literally feel their pain but then I'm also so detached like so much so that if someone I know is going through something (as in trouble in paradise (yeah I'm eloquent)) and completely losing it over that person, not being able to function properly like not eating being sad feeling depressed -- it just makes no sense to me??? Like I can't even begin to try to comfort other than just pat pat like??? So you found out they don't care about you don't you just instantly lose all feelings as well? Don't you feel cheated and ridiculed?? Does that mean nothing to you, your self-respect?? And if it does all those things then why do you feel sad. What do you feel sad for. I would feel angry. So incredibly angry and I would simply think I was an idiot to not notice the signs or to stay for as long as I did and it would be like a switch just completely off. I don't think I could ever hold a human above myself. And this makes me wonder if I could ever love at all.

so ‘the last trial’ has been appearing on my dash
and i just want to obsess over a song that meant SO FUCKING MUCH to me
(translation mine, i do it literally without preserving rhyme or rhythm, it’s just the way i like it)
there lived a dark magician who served the moon, he saw a beautiful maiden in his dreams, she reached for him with trembling hands, she begged ‘come to me’
afraid that the maiden will be tormented by her enemy to the last the besotted fool opens the gates, the maw of the abyss greeted him, he was swallowed by the triumphant darkness.
he thought back then that love saves and opened the gates - that was foolish, what happened next we both know, the dark moon swallowed the dawn.
poets say that the world will be saved by love, but so far you and i know a different example, world drenched in blood, incinerated by war, because of a fool’s love.
poets wove false fables, meanwhile mages found protection for the world, they cursed the abyss with an alliance of enemies, hoping to close it off from love
the beautiful prisoner is locked away again, but there’ll always be a key for the lock, love unites the incompatible, love opens any gates.
if love wasn’t a tool maybe it would indeed save souls, but in all ages people are the same, and their love serves evil and pride.
poets say that the world will be saved by love, but our world hasn’t seen pure love in centuries, and that which will open the gates of the abyss isn’t worth much.
i was obsessed with it for a while and now that ive thought of it again i am again
i dont really vibe with the ‘pure love hasn’t been seen in centuries’ part but the rest of it just. i love how it does acknowledge that the power of love is a thing, in fact it’s a key plot point - love opens any gates, love makes the impossible happen, it’s just not a good thing
like this is in context specifically about romantic love, and rare is a story that does anything other than glorify it, you know? this is so fucking mecore, like it specifically calls out the romantization of romantic love, it’s in-universe meta, i fucking love it (not that kind)
if love wasn’t a tool maybe it would indeed save souls, but in all ages people are the same, and their love serves evil and pride.

I would still wait for you.
"Why do you still wait for them? They didn't ask you to wait."
You're worth waiting for.
I'd wait for you even after my own mortality. I'd wait for you till my bones turn to dust, till my flesh burns to ashes, till my body is drained of it's blood, till my heart has lost its rhythm.
Even if an asteroid shatters the earth. Even if the sun swallows the planet. Even if the whole universe collapses in on itself.
I would still be waiting for you in the afterlife, even if there may not be one. I would wait for you. Because...
You're worth waiting for
