#ancsa rambles

I'm going to try to be a little more active here again (tho I think Twitter will remain my main social media), so as a reminder, I'm a non-binary aromantic asexual and ter/fs, trans/meds and aro/ace exclusionists are not welcome on my page ✌

i barely come on tumblr these days, but not bc i care about how dysfunctional this site keeps getting, it's just that the fandom for my current interest is 100 x more active on twitter.

i feel like i am slowly coming to terms with me being asexual and also aromantic. i've identified as bi for 10 years and while i do find people of all genders aesthetically attractive, i will be turning 30 next year and i've never had a serious romantic/sexual interest in anyone i knew. while i mostly chalked that up to mental illness, neurodivergence and trauma, i have since seen several people with those same conditions who still desire and are in relationships. don't get me wrong, mental illness and being bullied definitely screwed up my ability to connect with others but seeing people who have been through similar or worse always sort of made me feel like i am even weaker for still not being able to form romantic relationships. but it's likely that i simply just don't want them and i certainly don't imagine my future in one. and i remember considering i was ace at one point after i first found out it's a thing but i guess i didn't want to feed into the "asexual are just that way bc of trauma" misconception. but whatever its "cause" is in my case, i am functionally aroace.

while i am glad that lady nagant lived, i'm still salty that she didn't get to be an antagonist for that long and got switched back to the hero's side fairly quickly (and she'll likely go back to jail anyway). it's like hori/koshi can't commit to having another female villains besides toga.

Before Pride month ends, I wanna announce that I'd like to go exclusively by they/them, at least online.
