Blog update!
Since the tag search is more and more messed up, i finally got around to make a page collecting all our answered asks ever.
And a resources collection
You can also find it in the desktop version of our blog homepage. Sadly there's also some random stuff because things are so ridiculously broken, but at least it's something

Signups for 2026 are now open! This is a gift exchange centered around celebrating platonic love and relationships (rules are specified on Ao3, but if you have any other questions, contact me).
Signups can be from any fandom, but consider checking out which fandoms are already signed up. There is a minimum word count of 100 words, and fics will be due on the 14th of Febuary (Valentine's day, and near the start of Aromantic Awareness Week). This isn't an exchange centred around aromanticism, but it is intended to be an aromantic safe space, with overlapping themes to aromantic identity.
Signups will be open until the end of November, with the hopes that this will allow anybody who wants to make an Ao3 account the time they need. If you think this is a frankly ridiculous way to run things, make sure to let me know! /gen (Any feedback is thoroughly appreciated)
Make sure to read the rules before signing up, or you may be disqaulified.

Shoutout to Black aces who don't feel safe in the ace community anymore. Shoutout to Black American aces who have to deal with their culture being attacked all the time and told hip hop and rap are gross and sex obsessed. Shoutout to non-American Black aces and how people don't think we exist. Shoutout to Black ace women and how the 'asexual women are seen as pure' narrative leaves us out. Shoutout to Black ace men who are never included in discussions about men's asexuality despite people claiming asexual men get left out. Shoutout to Black non-binary and trans aces who can't fit into the white cis female v white cis male binary and its stereotypes. Shoutout to Black non-SAM aces and aroaces who are spoken over by white aspecs. Shoutout to Black alloaces and how we're spoken over by white aspecs. Shoutout to sex favourable Black aces who are conviently never defended pro-sex favourable ace posts even though you experience a worse kind of puritanism on top of antiblackness and how that can come from white sex repulsed aces. Shoutout to Black sex indifferent/neutral aces and how white sex repulsed aces always assume we're sex favourable and sex favourable white aces always assume we're sex repulsed. Shoutout to Black sex repulsed aces who are spoken over by white sex favourable aces who don't understand how antiblackness affects the compulsory sexuality you experience. Shoutout to Black aces who are tired fr. You're not alone.

the queer community NEEDS to care about those of us that are living in deeply conservative areas
they did not get to choose where they grew up and they are living under the harshest oppression
we cant punish them for where they live, we need to be working to help them as well
and that includes building online communities and resources that they can access and where they can feel safe
Iām straight/demisexual (only discovered I was demi 2 years ago, spent a long time just thinking I was broken)
Am I valid in celebrating pride month? I just feel like Iām not āenoughā to be included in it because Iāve only ever felt anything for the opposite sex (after deep emotional connection) and donāt want anyone to think Iām silly or offend anyone? Sorry if this is a dumb question, Iām just really confused lately and itās all new to me and a little overwhelming
I feel so silly writing this ā¹ļø
Oh god anon I'm sorry I couldn't answer this in time for Pride, it was a hectic month.
You belong, you being demisexual means you don't conform to amatonormativity and what society wants from us and heteroalllo people.
You belong, and always will, I hope you had a good pride month.

The City in Glass
Nghi VoĀ
A demon. An angel. A city.
The demon Vitrineāimmortal, powerful, and capriciousāloves the dazzling city of Azril. She has mothered, married, and maddened the city and its people for generations, and built it into a place of joy and desire, revelry and riot.
And then the angels come, and the city falls.
Vitrine is left with nothing but memories and a book containing the names of those she has lostāand an angel, now bound by her mad, grief-stricken curse to haunt the city he burned.
She mourns her dead and rages against the angel she longs to destroy. Made to be each otherās devastation, angel and demon are destined for eternal battle. Instead, they find themselves locked in a devouring fascination that will change them both forever.
Together, they unearth the past of the lost city and begin to shape its future. But when war threatens Azril and everything they have built, Vitrine and her angel must decide whether they will let the city fall again.
The City in Glass is both a brilliantly constructed history and an epic love story, of death and resurrection, memory and transformation, redemption and desire strong enough to reduce a world to ashes and remake it anew.

My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.
A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.
Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.
Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.
This bill is not going to pass.
However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.
And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.
They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.
If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.
Censorship is never about protecting people.
Censorship is always about control.
Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.
Do not fall for the scam.
When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!
This will also just increase the amount of illegal pornographic material, such as unconsenting filming or sex trafficking.
Remember prohibition? Making something illegal doesn't get rid of it, it makes it more dangerous

Itās here! Iām honored to have an essay in this brand new journal, The Jewish Asexuality Anthology. What a wonderful opportunity to explore some of my experiences with this particular overlap of identities - an overlap I share with ten other writers featured here. Get a copy of your own at the Linktree in my bio, and check out @jewishaceanthology for more information.
Sorry for the long ask, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to.
I think I might be demisexual. I've always thought that I was (gay) alloallo but after learning about the difference between aesthetic and sexual attraction... I'm not so sure. Still haven't found a good explanation of the difference between attraction and desire either. I've never related to my aspec friends when they talk about their sexualities.
I've always been interested in sex, but I'm not attracted to most people. I always thought that I just had a specific type, but now I see that I also need a connection to the person. Cruising and one night stands have never appealed to me at all- I don't want to have sex with someone I'm not attracted to. I know it's valid for acespec people to want and enjoy sex, and I do. That kind of intimacy is important to me, and I wouldn't want a relationship without it. I've had romantic feelings without sexual attraction to people before, and I haven't pursued those relationships for a reason. Sex is important to me.
I'm also confused because I am very attracted to my partner physically. When we first met, I thought he was good looking, and I felt romantic feelings for him almost immediately- but I don't think I felt sexually attracted to him until I knew him better. Now, I'm attracted to everything about him. Not just his personality and other secondary things, but to his appearance too. Could I still be demisexual if I am attracted to how he looks? Is that a stupid question?
Being demi wouldn't really change life for me. I'm committed to my partner and he fully accepts me if I am. It doesn't really matter if I wanted him carnally the moment we met or if it took time, right? I know that I don't have to use the label if I don't want to, but if it fits me, that's important to me. So why is it bothering me so much? I've never been upset by questioning my gender or sexuality before now. Is it just because it's new? Is this internalized aphobia?
Hi anon, donāt worry, Iām here to answer asks as best as I can.
The reason why is so hard to find good enough explanations about different kinds of attraction is that ultimately, the specific of the attraction itself, as well as what kind of explanation āclicksā for the one doing the research, heavily depends on the person. Itās frustrating as hell, I know.
We have tagged posts about different kinds of attractions you may want to try and check out, see if thereās something you hadnāt seen yet.
The degree on which someone enjoys sex and sexual interaction is not dependent on how or how often you experience attraction towards people.
What you say overall sounds like demisexuality, since you are attracted to someone you had already formed a connection with.Ā
The fact you are attracted to how he looks is basically a bonus, all kinds of different attractions can be independent from one another, depending on the person.
As for feeling uncomfortable about IDing as Demi, take things easy. I canāt tell you if itās internalized aphobia, or just being uncomfortable at something new you donāt really understand yet.
Regardless, you donāt have to take that label as soon as possible, or ever.
Iād suggest interacting with demi communities specifically (even just lurk) to see whatās up.
Sexuality is fluid, and your comfort comes first.
If youād rather explore the possibility calmly, you can absolutely go for it.
Feel free to send in more questions if you need
Wishing you a nice week <3

Same anon from earlier- I'm sorry if that ask was too personal! Not your job to help me determine if I'm demi, obviously.
Hi anonļ¼No worries, I got your ask, I'll take some time to craft a good answer, feel free to poke me again if it seems like I forgot
