By the stars, we hope.

actually the way society hates both perverts and asexuals is kinda funny. Real "Anyone who thinks about sex more than I do is a porn-addicted degenerate and anyone who thinks about sex less than I do is a loser weirdo or a puritan" energy

The levers of societal pressure do not work on people outside the societal norm, and so both asexual people and hypersexual people are demonized, excluded, and othered. It was never about sex, it was about conformity and control.

dni if you have no whimsy and no joy for the miracles found within the mundane

it’s so fucked how A Malm in Her Shoes casually drops the fact that Alisaie was basically friendless throughout her childhood. And every recent attempt at being friends with peers her age has ended in disaster. Yet she’s still very kind and full of love and compassion. Like arguably she doesn’t even put up that much of a cool girl front bc it gets dropped really fast once anybody actually reaches out to her. She takes the hand every time! and it still slips out of her grasp!

like she has urianger, her brother, and the WOL and the other scions but god fucking forbid she wants to hang out with somebody like a normal teenage girl (as normal as it can be anyways)

I just think it sucks that her closest options are people that she feels like she needs to catch up with to be seen as anything or somebody in an entirely different age bracket . Or something
