Somewhere I knew
We were not meant to be.
But does love ever listen?
It just happens, makes you believe in the unfathomable, lets you desire the things you consider sin and even pushes you to commit those sins.
It makes you a sinner. But the irony here is that you like being a sinner and you would give anything to have it all once more; even when it has broken you into pieces.
And since now you are a sinner ; love becomes your detainer to keep you in its shackles forever. 
[Dickinson : Emily & Sue ; worth watching. Available on apple TV. ]

Words of Experience
for @aro-sides-week prompt of Tertiary Attraction
Summary: Logan always assumed because they’d felt attraction before he couldn’t be aro. When a poetry discussion with Roman gets diverted onto types of attraction they start to change that thought.
/\/\
Attraction is weird. It's spoken about in so many bizarre ways that Logan is convinced society is trying to avoid anyone figuring out they might be aromantic or asexual. They'd spent years wondering if he could be aro but dismissing the idea purely because they know what attraction felt like and experienced it relatively often without the desires for romance that Patton had once described coming with a crush.
They were only illuminated to the nuances of attraction during a poetry discussion with Roman. Logan had been aware for a while that Roman is more intelligent that the needless singing originally had them believing but it was an interesting time to get revelations over how many types of attraction there are.
“For such beautiful words, I would give my all to a woman like this.” Roman sighed as they discussed an Emily Dickinson poem that Logan had been struggling to understand the sentiments of.
They had blinked for a moment before stating, “Roman, you are gay. Why are you implying some poetic words would attract you to a woman?”
“It's not romantic attraction, Logan. Clearly it's not, but are you saying you've never spoken to someone and just wanted to be around them more, or seen someone and without any lust or desire wanted to know them?” Roman exclaimed, forehead creasing when he registered their processing face.
They only replied a few moments later. “I thought that is just what attraction is. Do you mean that there are different feelings to the attraction if it's romantic?”
“Yes.” Roman nodded, lips pursed and debating. “What experience with attraction have you had?” He asked cautiously as if unsure the question would be welcome.
It made them thing carefully for a while, curious and concerned over being able to describe the attraction they had felt. If it hadn't been some level of romantic or sexual attraction, then what might they class it as? “That man from your theatre group; I was attracted to him for the reasoning traps and attentiveness that was needed to hold a conversation without being made a fool of. Oh, and I was attracted to Emile for a while, though that was short lived given his propensity for cartoon references. It was his intellect and knowledge of psychology that attracted me then.” Logan began explaining, trying to remember other occurrences of attraction.
“Intellectual attraction then. I'm not sure how I'd label an attraction based on poetry, like the one I referred to for Miss Dickinson, perhaps charismatic.” Roman suggested, nodding. “If it's not prying, have you actually wanted to date anybody before?”
Logan paused again, feeling like everything Roman was saying gave them a cause for self-evaluation they hadn't been away needed doing. It was frustrating to be asked this specific question though, simply due to how close it came to their revelation over there being different types of attraction. “I don't know!” They snapped, scowling, “How do you know about this?”
“Remus got fascinated by tertiary attraction a while back, left a few google searches open on my laptop after stealing it which I read through. He's now decided to make jokes over any type of attraction he feels being sexual.” Roman easily replied, shrugging a little as if that wasn't a big deal, “Besides, I've been trying to figure out the types I feel most often.”
They nodded, taking a few deep breaths since the attempt to make it a fight wasn't risen to. “That seems to be a reasonable decision. I'm going to endeavour to interrogate the attraction I experience from now on, but  had not understood there are different types of it prior to this conversation.”
Roman nodded again, eyes tightening a little as he looked Logan over before offering, “Would you prefer if we refocus on Dickinson's poetry?” He offered.
“Of course, thank you.” Logan agreed, looking back to the book between them. “I have to say, these likes don't seem loving, despite the poem being reported as a love poem. They seem more to describe symptoms of indigestion.”
Roman leant back, hand to chest as if scandalised. “How dare you! Those are describing the nerves of getting your heartbroken.”
By the time Logan reached home that evening, their head was still spinning with thoughts of attraction and desire. They'd barely taken in any more knowledge or ideas about poetry from the discussions with Roman but for the first time weren't bothered over that. The afternoon was far from wasted when Logan had learnt such important information.
They might soon be certain over a label to use other than queer and it was more than likely to be aromantic.

There's something about learning about queer history and about how a lot of these classic authors were queer. Oscar Wilde was gay. Emily Bronte was probably asexual. Emily Dickinson was in multiple relationships with women. These are just the ones that come to mind immediately! And it's just like:
I'm not alone?
Never have been.

So I went down a rabbit hole today, trying to learn more about theories that Emily Dickinson was lesbian or bisexual. I've heard about this before, but never knew what to make of it because I now always wonder whether someone was homosexual/bisexual or aspec bi/homoromantic, but because of lack of education, people just assume the former.
What struck me was first how people would toss the word "asexual" around as some sort of insult and antiquated way of viewing a person because you wanted to sexually repress them due to your discomfort with the idea of them being sexual or due to homophobia.
Inwardly, I cried out for broader understanding of asexuality and aromanticism and more representation so that people don't make these painful characterizations of us, so we get the respect for our sexual identity that we--like EVERY human--deserve, and so that asexuality is not stigmatized. Stigma creates shame and hurt and leads people to live in the closet or love in denial (or even ignorance of their orientation), harming them in so many ways.
I'm tired of seeing asexuality used in antiquated ways, implying someone is a robot or killjoy or not fully human or uptight or repressed. Many of the articles and social posts I came across acted like the idea that Dickinson was asexual was distasteful and so she must must must be lesbian or bisexual instead.
I read some excerpts of Dickinson's letters to her love interest, Susan Gilbert (her sister-in-law), and found myself wondering, "How can we know this is a sexual relationship? Why can't it be a romantic one?" This may sound homophobic, but I say this to advocate for those of us who are, say, biromantic but not bisexual. To make room for other types of relationships besides the traditional sexual romantic marriage-baby carriage idea of love that has been pushed on us all, superceding all other forms of love and being treated as the only valid form of partnership. And expanding our ideas to see, "maybe I am not physically attracted to women, but I would rather be in a committed relationship with a woman than a man. Or maybe I don't want a relationship at all... I've just felt like I had to. I have just gained valuable information about myself and what makes me happy, potentially side-stepping a thorny path of trying to force myself to fit into a heteronormative, autonormative society, and searching for a relationship that meets my needs."
I don't want to invalidate celebrating public figured and characters for being (or possibly being) LGBTQ as a way to empower people, I just want to raise awareness that there is an A to consider too. And that considering that could deepen our understanding of those people, but also allow others to explore their own identity.
I don't know enough about the subject to make my own judgments about Dickinson (and I'm not sure we should say anyone's sexuality with 100% certainty who hasn't outright proclaimed it...goes for straight people too.) But my mini research journey highlighted some troubling tendencies I see in the world outside of aspec community. I feel people could benefit from knowing about the split attraction model.
I admit some of this comes from a place of my first intro to the aspec community being from having strong feelings for a female friend. I was confused; I was not sexually attracted to her, but I found imagining spending my life living with her, even getting married. A friend recommended I look into the asexual spectrum, and since then I've been on quite a journey. One that has been invaluable to my happiness and well-being.
I haven't even touched on quasiplatonic relationships either. All that to say, I feel erased from the world and the scholarly narrative seeing that these types of nontraditional romantic and platonic relationships aren't explored or are even spat on because it would presumably be shameful to be asexual or have a platonic or solely-romantic love.
Again, I don't want to make this a debate about Dickinson herself because I don't feel qualified to speak to that, but this whole thing raised some questions and frustrations for me that I've felt before.

holding on | emily prentiss x reader & spencer reid x reader | ch. 3: just the way you are
Chapter Summary: Spencer’s day after.
Contains: mentions of death.
Word Count: 2k
Comments: haha, uni is kicking my ass! sorry for the three weeks it took to post this, this chapter would just not write itself :( also i literally have future chapters finished but i need to get the in between chapters done before that so sorry! a lot may not have happened but spencer is seeing something here. he hasn't been able to come to a conclusion quite yet but he will soon... but will it be before the reader spills? also yeah, this story is filled with headcanons because i can't help myself! :D
i love jj but she gives off overbearing vibes and rn spencer needs some space from everyone that reminds him of emily/will only want to talk about his feelings. little does he know for that first part...
the next chapter is the funeral and after party!!! hope you enjoyed the chapter! lemme know what you think!
masterlist | read on ao3
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
- Billy Joel, Just The Way You Are
When Spencer enters the room, it reveals relieved coworkers. JJ is the first one to approach him, eyes red and worry evident on her face. She pulls him into a hug as soon as she reaches him.
“Spencer, we were so worried when you left last night,” her whisper might as well be a scolding in his ears but he’ll take it because he never meant to worry his team, not like this. She pulls away and cradles his face gently in her hands.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t realize how bad it would seem to everyone. I… I didn’t want to make anyone worry after everything else.” He closes his eyes, not wanting to see the emotions that will only bring him to his knees.
Derek speaks up then and it’s like he knows. “Well, I’m glad you’re here, kid.” Looking at him, Spencer can tell he hasn’t slept and has cried the whole night through. If he had stayed with them, he likely would look the same. As it is, he barely got a few hours asleep, as haunted as his dreams were.
“Me too.”
His team is in shambles. It’s not just that Emily has gone away and left them, left him, like Gideon or Elle. No, she’s never coming back because she is dead, just like every other cadaver they’ve encountered in their line of work. Statistically speaking, death in their line of work was highly likely and it’s a miracle he’s managed to avoid it for so long.
Perhaps it’s because Emily has always been impressive but he’d never thought she’d be the one to die. If anything, he’d bet himself before anyone else on his team.
His team is talking to one another and Spencer can’t hear anything they’re saying. All their words are blurring into unintelligible words and the only thing he can see are their faces.
Rossi is a slab of stone being chipped at little by little into something unrecognizable. Hotch’s eyes are red and his face is pale and an ever looming cloud of guilt surrounds him. He wonders why; it wasn’t his fault she died. Morgan is much the same but there is an anger in him that he hasn’t seen before.
Morgan’s anger simmers underneath his skin; he’s frustrated that he wasn’t fast enough to save her or to catch Doyle. His sadness has become eclipsed for now but he knows it’s there, buried under the guilt and rage he feels. Perhaps it’s because Garcia takes on the brunt of it, the grief is written all over her face. She’s always worn her emotions on her sleeve and this hasn’t changed. He chooses not to look at her because if he does, he’s not sure he’ll be able to keep it together. Someone so vulnerable makes him want to do the same and he feels vulnerable enough as it is.
JJ is like Hotch, guilt and grief clouds her. She keeps sweeping her hair back and chewing on her cheek, a habit when she doesn’t want to focus on what’s plaguing her.
Their tells are obvious to him and he’s memorized all of them, every little action they’ve done is cataloged in his brain and this is no different. He had already known what they’d be like and what they’d do when he saw them.
He hears Ambassador Prentiss’ voice stutter when she asks why Hotch has called and he wonders if she already knows and wants to hear it before she comes down so she can grieve on her own time. He stays quiet and that’s as good as confirmation for her because her breath hitches and she says she’ll be down in an hour.
Emily never spoke much of her mother but she takes- took after her greatly. They share the same face and hair color. It’s like her mother had asexually produced because he sees no difference between the two; there was no bit of her father in Emily. The only difference between the two are the crow’s feet and smile lines on her mother’s face and he realizes that Emily will grow to her mother’s age because she died too young.
Hotch delivers the news, as expected of his status of Unit Chief, and Ambassador Prentiss is stoic and nods at the news of her only child’s death. She asks for details and Hotch is only able to give her the bare minimum and she only nods and thanks him and the rest of them. She goes up to Morgan and takes his hands into her own and whispers something only for his ears. He stiffens but nods and she goes away with the request that they inform her of their decision of when the funeral is and that she’ll pay for everything.
It’s a bit cold the way she all but announces how she doesn’t want to be included in the planning of her daughter’s funeral but Emily always had described her as cold and distant, loving only in private and when convenient.
The planning process takes up the rest of the afternoon and it passes him by quickly and he knows it’s mostly because he disassociated through most of it. JJ and Hotch shot him with worried glances all day and he just wants to go back to your apartment. He doesn’t want to go to his apartment just yet, not when he'll have to come face to face with the reminders of her in his own apartment.
The funeral is booked three days away and he shoots you a text and you respond a minute later with a simple thumbs up.
He tells the team he’ll be heading out and unsurprisingly JJ speaks up over this.
“Are you sure you want to go back home? I can give you a ride or you can come over. I don’t want you to be alone, Spencer.” Her voice is meant to be soothing in that maternal way she’s learned but it grates at his nerves. He doesn’t need to be babied. He knows she’s just worried about him but Emily’s death has left him exposed in a way that throws him off his rhythm.
“Thanks JJ, but a friend is picking me up. I’ll be staying with her tonight.” The team exchanges looks in a way that is meant to be subtle but Spencer has always had an eye for details so he doesn’t miss it but he doesn’t call it out.
“Oh well, okay, if you’re sure…?” He nods and she acquiesces but says she’ll walk him out. She waits with him outside while he waits for you. You pull up in your car with his favorite Billy Joel song on and he can’t help the tiny grin that spreads on his face.
You look tired but happy to see him and he knows that JJ probably wants to examine you but he really just wants to get out of here and cuts her off before she can say anything and says goodbye to her while getting into your car.
He can smell the aroma of Italian in the backseat and he knows you went to the little restaurant he frequents after a bad case because the food reminds him of when his mother used to order takeout because much like himself, she was a disaster in the kitchen. It made him happy that you remembered.
Billy Joel’s velvet voice is enough to fill the silence. He watches you as you drive, noticing how you tap your fingertips to the beat of the song on the steering wheel and how it’s obvious now that you’re distracting yourself from something. He hadn’t been able to see it before because he was too lost in his own grief but there was something off about your demeanor.
When you finally arrive back at your apartment, he finds it to be cleaner than it was in the morning and set for maximum comfort. Your couch is covered with soft, thick blankets with animals on them, cobijas, you had called them. He’s fairly certain that just means blanket in Spanish. The table that is usually in the middle of your living room is pushed closer to the couch and it’s where you set the food at so he assumes it’s where the two of you will be eating.
Your record player is playing jazz music. A compromise, you had told him one evening, appealing to his classical music needs with it’s long instrumentals and your love of their crooning and smooth voices.
“Hey, Spence, what do we feel like drinking tonight?” Your voice jolts him out of his observations and he looks towards you where you’re peering at the available drinks in your fridge, two ice-filled glasses set on the counter beside you.
“Arnold Palmer?” You hum and grab two pitchers from your fridge and set it out on the counter and he watches as you mix the two together so it’s not separated. You set the two pitchers back into the fridge and bring the two drinks to where he’s sitting, handing him one and placing the other on your coaster.
He watches as you take out the food from the bags and put his own container in front of him along with two pieces of garlic bread and his own fork and napkin.
Once you’re all done, you take a drink from your glass and open your container and take a bite of your usual order. He follows quickly after, knowing from experience how rapidly the food can get cold.
Time passes by and eventually the food gets finished and you’re both left alone with Billie Holiday’s voice filling the silence.
You’re nibbling on the last piece of garlic bread, your eyes focused idly on your bookshelf but more specifically on a collection of Emily Dickinson poems. He files away the fact that he’s seen this specific book somewhere and decides to ask at another time.
Once you finish, you lean your head against his shoulder and wrap your arms around his midsection. He shifts so that you’re in a more comfortable position that lets you rest against him while he’s able to hold onto you as well.
Spencer can’t help but think that you always know what he needs without him needing to say anything. It’s something he hasn’t had since Elle or more accurately, Emily. It’s not even been a month and already, he craves her affection. He misses the impromptu Russian talks and the book sharing and her calming presence. You remind him so much of her. It’s like you've taken on some of her mannerisms. Perhaps it’s projection but he’s noticed for months now how you’ve changed bit by bit into someone similar to Emily.
You must have seen his tell because you look up at him, hand finding his own and squeezing it gently before bringing it to your wrist.
It’s the little things you do that bring him back to reality, no matter how painful it is. He’s not sure where he’d be right now. Most likely with JJ and her family, all the while feeling like a burden. With you, he feels vulnerable in a way he doesn’t mind. He’s known you for years and not once, have you ever made him feel small. It’s always been easy with you and he hopes the same can be said for you about him.
“Stop thinking right now, Spencer. We can do that later, like tomorrow. You need a break right now. I know it’s hard for your big brain to shut down so just focus on my pulse and match your breathing to mine.” Your voice is slightly muffled by his sweater and he can only nod and follow your instructions.
“Thank you.” He says after a while.
“ Always, Spencer.” And like always, you understand.
The words are never said but he’s sure you know it and he knows you feel the same.

More Good Omens NSFT fic recs
Because I have nothing better to do with my time lmao. The first half of these are, as usual, top!aziraphale, even if the fic itself isn’t tagged with it. The last section, though, is dom!aziraphale, even though he isn’t necessarily always the one topping, which is why I split the recs into halves. 
By Definition by idiopathicsmile - 3,074 words
One of my personal favorites, hands down. A wonderful character study of Aziraphale and his asexuality. I always find myself coming back to read this one. I recommended it before, yes, but that was in a reblog. It deserves to be recommended again at the very top of this list.
come away with me by weatheredlaw - 2,698 words
Crowley and Aziraphale head off to their cottage in the South Downs to escape the London heat wave.
this message is a warning about danger (about love) by darcylindbergh - 7,033 words
Good ol’ angst with a happy ending - I’ll never recommend sad endings. Crowley is anxious and has self-doubt, but he learns to let himself be with this new life he’s found with Aziraphale. Beautiful prose. 
love like the dawn by leaveanote - 3,755 words
Pretty straightforward with this one - it’s very soft and sweet morning sex in the South Downs cottage. 
Inside This Place Is Warm by CosmicOcelot - 4,013 words
Another hurt/comfort. Crowley falls asleep in the snow, Aziraphale patches him back up. Plus a slightly fumbly love confession that I think is quite cute.
Land of the Living by amdg2846 - 37,593 words
Now here’s the very first Good Omens fic I ever read. Must have been no less than a week after watching the series. Beyond the massive wall of tags, this fic is like a kind of sequel, in which Aziraphale and Crowley have new beginnings on their Own Side as their relationship develops. I put this one last because it isn’t strictly top!aziraphale, as they do eventually switch, so heads up if that’s not what you came to this list for, lol.
~*~
This next section is for fun. These fics are, as stated earlier, dom!aziraphale, but none of these strictly have him topping, with the only exception being Correction Fluid. No penetrative sex occurs in High Praises, and there’s switching in the others - but it’s switching in position only, not in power exchange.
Correction Fluid by holy shit, 11 authors!? - 16,228 words
Aziraphale is doing his taxes in the most interesting way possible.  
For the Longest Time by darlingred1 - 20,370 words
Now that they’re together, Crowley misses the thrill of yearning for Aziraphale. The angel has a solution to that problem. 
High Praises by sabraneadaz - 5,595 words
On their way back home, Aziraphale gets Crowley worked up - on a public train. Featuring Aziraphale showing displays of dominance, dirty talking, and quoting Emily Dickinson. The way he so easily adds smugness to the ordeal is very amusing to me.
to steal light from dawn by focusfixated - 12,323 words
Stop me if I recommended this one already - I did, didn’t I? Well I’m doing it again. This fic is packed with poetic language that’s incredibly characteristic of this author. Aziraphale and Crowley try out edging and orgasm denial - there’s some bumps in the road, but it works out in the end.
let the rivers fill by focusfixated - 4,996 words
This fic has the same author as the fic above, and it’s much different. Pick your poison - where there was orgasm delay/denial in to steal light from dawn, this one is all marathon sex and overstimulation. Celestial beings such as Crowley and Aziraphale don’t have to recharge stamina, after all.

I actually ended up reblogging the post and adding the meme pic (I'm asexual-emily-dickinson). I'm on mobile, and for some reason, it won't let me submit in the app, and it won't let me log in in the browser (that's why it's anon)
Found it! And no problem, sometimes that submission box is finicky.

me: makes a comment about how english classes literally are just that john mulaney "i think think emily dickinson's a lesbian" joke to my classmate
that classmate: actually I heard they found out that it's pretty likely she was!! which makes me sad, I was really hoping she'd be asexual :/

Lesbian Book Reccs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
links to Asexual / Aromantic, Bisexual / Pansexual, Gay (mlm), Transgender / Non-Binary sheets
TCCL stands for Tulsa City-County Library, in Oklahoma. These reference sheets list the books physically available (not including ebooks only) at the 24 library locations in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For folks outside of this range, I suggest double-checking your local libraries, as well as the apps OverDrive, Hoopla, and YourCloudLibrary!
An online version of this list can be found at https://bit.ly/2ktoGFt. This goodreads shelf includes ebooks, new releases, and books not available at the library! It also features a notes section that specifies which character is a lesbian, their exact identity if stated in the text, and whether they are a main or side character.
In the shelf list along the left side of the page, you can also find shelves for other LGBT+ identities, as well as books featuring characters that are disabled, fat, mentally ill, neurodivergent, and people of color. All the books are cross-tagged, so a book featuring a black disabled trans woman would appear in the shelves named disabled, POC, and transgender.

Even though everything in her history points to her being asexual, they’re most likely going to make Emily Dickinson lesbian or bisexual. Because women scholars decided just because she was extremely close with Susan Gilbert and wrote a lot of letters and poems to/about her that automatically means they were a romantic thing. Because you know queer platonic relationships don’t exist. And of course all the comments about it jumped right on that too. Can’t we aces just have one frickin thing for once? Oh wait we can’t because we go against social norms oh no so sad.
