what i hate about the phrase “sexuality is fluid” is that in its original context it meant “sexuality is not a binary of straight and gay, sexuality can exist on a fluid spectrum with some people falling on the strictly straight or gay end spectrum and others falling in between" but MOGAI tumblr takes it to mean “every single individual person’s sexuality is fluid and that’s why lesbians should fuck men.”
Can I just say, uh, I’m pretty sure noticing you’re asexual is harder than noticing you’re gay, straight, pan or otherwise. Like, I just read someone’s desciption of hitting puberty and, like, there’s nothing like that. There’s no sudden ‘boob’ moment, no sudden ‘fuck, I’d fuck that’ moment, not sudden anything. You just, like, plod on through life as usual going ‘oooh, that’s pretty, I’d like that hair’ or ‘oooooh, they’re nice, I’d like to be close to them’ but there’s no like, ‘oh, someone would want to fuck that but I don’t’, you know? You just- you don’t notice, you don’t realise everyone else has ‘had a moment’ but you haven’t, you just- keep going as you always have.
And then, much much later, you start to wonder why people are getting so caught up in drama for romance or sex, like, why bother? It’s not worth it, they’re not worth it, why are you doing stupid things for something that’s so- and then you wonder if there’s something wrong with you, start mentally over compensating. Like ‘uh, okay, um, who should I date? Who can I stand to date? Who could I stand to fuck?’ like- it’s not, it’s not something you want, but you want to fit it, to be normal.
Sometimes you don’t even know that you’re doing it.
Sometimes you don’t even know asexual’s a thing.
I dunno, I guess, I just feel like, uh, people should understand more?
idk sorry thank you for listening to me
Thank you for perfectly describing it.
It’s way more difficult to notice the absence of something, especially when you’ve never had it in the first place??
It’s like being born without a nose and then being expected to understand what things smell like because everyone ELSE has a nose.
So in nearly all discussions of Steven and Connie fusing when they are adults, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it brought up that, yanno, fusion sizes seem to be based on a combination of the heights of whoever is making up the fusion. Which would basically mean that an adult Stevonnie really would be an actual giant woman.
I swear to god the next person I see making a post saying how Disney didn’t let a gay couple in Gravity Falls because “we can’t show children that” or “gay is bad” or anything like that I’m gonna personally hunt down and smack.
Disney had a gay couple on a tv show once. The couple had a child even. It was adorable.
You wanna know what happened?
Adults were sending death threats to a child who was only about 5 or so for playing the roll of the daughter of a same-sex couple.
I don’t blame Disney for being extremely cautious after that.
When i was 10, I sent a letter to Lemony Snicket. I didn’t receive a personal reply, but I got one of these. 7 years later I realized that there’s a message
Thomas: “For today kids, I’m bringing back naptime!” Girl in flannel: “Don’t we have a lot of work?” Thomas: “NO! Naptime.” Boy in sweatshirt: “But we have a test.” Thomas: “Shh! Naptime.” Girl in pink snuggie: “But–” Thomas: “NAPTIME!” Caption: “Being well-rested, they went on to pass every class. BooYah.”
