Hot take:
If a character doesn’t have a canon Sexuality and/or Gender Identity there isn’t any harm in having your own headcannons.
Specially Changing a characters Canonical Sexuality/Gender Identity so it fits better with your ships is disgusting behavior.
I’m looking all you Radio/Whatever shippers in the eyes when I say this.
Alastor is Aroace.
If he were in a relationship with someone, it would be a QueerPlatonic one. He wouldn’t be having kids with anyone. He wouldn’t be kissing anyone. He is Asexual and Aromantic.
And it’s getting increasingly frustrating as an Aroace person with even Less representation in Media than other lgbtq+ sexualities/identities, to see what little representation we do have get changed and disregarded.
It isn’t even about Alastor at this point, there’s so many Ace and Aro coded characters, or canon Ace characters, who get ignored, overlooked, or have their sexualities changed to something else and I’m so tired of it.
Asexual and Aromantic people aren’t any less valid than any other Sexuality. We deserve to have representation in the media, and we deserve to have that representation respected by other members of the lgbtq+ community.

I’ve spent many years learning the vocabulary to describe literature. I love words— they’re one of my most passionate passions. But there is something special about someone having a reaction to art without the terminology to untangle it.
Once I was hanging out with this polisci major, and he’d read a story of mine that had come out a few days ago. He really liked it but it took him a couple of tries to explain why. Then he told me, “I feel different after reading it. I feel older.”
I still think about that sometimes.

mike would be the type of guy to watch a show with implied-but-not-stated romance between two guys. and people would tell him it’s romantic, but he’d reply with “it’s obviously platonic??? cause i’m like that with Will??? and me and Will are just friends, so….” and he STILL wouldn’t connect the dots
side note: does this exist as a fic? if not can someone write this

do u like any other groups? just curious
-star
I do like other groups! I listen to just about everything that comes out in the kpop world, but I only realllyyyy stan Seventeen rn. I kinda just evolved into casual fans of oneus, mcnd, wjsn, and bts even though I used to actively follow them really closely and the other groups I used to be like super into disbanded (gfriend and enoi)
I actually fell out of kpop for like a year… ish? And you could not tell because I only really stayed into seventeen because of this blog and it was hard to get back into it because I felt like I was behind…? But I’m back to listening to like everything again (I’m really fucking with Blitzers new song???)
