So the fun part about GenZ slang being almost 100% AAVE is that I have a dictionary from 2001, from before I was old enough to even know how to use a dictionary, right? And this ain't that abridged shit this is the three columns 8 point font, pages made of tissue paper bound into a book that is 4-5 inches thick shit. You follow?

how you feeling about the newest gay ass shit those yaois are doing

When it comes to any sort of descriptive word or label for one's sexuality, here's something I think people forget sometimes: these terms exist to make our lives easier. They can help us affirm our identities, find a community of similar people, or just say "Hey, I'm here!" to the world. If you feel, at any time, that asexuality or aromanticism fit you, or that you feel better, in some way, as part of those communities, those labels are there for you. They exist to provide space and comfort, only as long as you feel like they fit you. However, if you don't feel a connection to those labels, if they don't quite fit right, if the question of attraction feels on a gut level to be more of a hasn't-happened-yet situation than a never-gonna-happen one, you don't have to call yourself anything that doesn't feel like a label you want to adopt. There's never a point where a judge bangs their gavel and announces, "Sorry, you haven't felt sexually attracted to someone by now so I pronounce you Officially Asexual." You get to make that decision for yourself. No one else can make it for you, and it's not something you have to take on if it doesn't feel right.

sometimes i think about how there are probably at least a few hundred different aventurine's fan child ocs out there
