enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

April Aspec Year Submission!
First Date - Mutsurie (AU - no ghouls)
Tags: Mutsurie, mild angst, reference to Mutsuki's sexual abuse, hurt/comfort, Urie Kuki is autistic, Mutsuki Tooru is autistic and asexual, autistic love, Urie Kuki is in love with Mutsuki Tooru, Mutsuki is...getting there
I wrote this in a way that I lowkey projected onto Mutsuki because he's just like me for real 😿 Basically I wrote his part from how I wish people took me being asexual. I am normal and love Mutsuki a normal amount 🦭
I'll be cross posting it to my ao3 later! :)
@aroace-kodama-sakuko
Urie fiddled with his tie for what felt like the millionth time. He shouldn't be nervous, he didn't have reason to be. For his own sanity, he wanted to believe that it was just an ordinary outing with Mutsuki. Yet he found himself repulsed by the thought. 'Why am I trying so hard to change the narrative when that's not what either of us want?' Urie stared at himself in the mirror, vaguely repulsed by his appearance. Suddenly his hair was too messy, his eyebags had become darker, his arms were too lanky, and his tie still wasn't straight. The black suit felt like it became ten times the size of what he needed. He just shook his head. 'What is going on? I've always looked sharp before, today is no different.' After one last look into the mirror, he grabbed his dress coat, keys, and the simple flower he had bought for Mutsuki. Before entering his car, he sent a message to Mutsuki: 'I'm on my way.'
The drive over felt simultaneously like the longest time in Urie's life and also the shortest. Urie had every intention to get out and escort Mutsuki from the door to his car but the other man was standing outside his building already. His hair was pulled back from his face, only loose strands framed his face. His suit was a deep grey colour while his tie was nearly the same shade of green as his hair. He looked stunning. Urie found himself fighting a blush but with the way Mutsuki gave him a knowing look when he sat down in the passenger side, he knew he had failed.
"Hey," Mutsuki grinned and leaned over to rest his head on Urie's shoulder as greeting. Urie let it happen, opting to lean his head down gently on top of Mutsuki's in a silent greeting. Urie basked in the moment, grieving the loss of Mutsuki's warmth once he moved his head up. "So...where are we off to?" Mutsuki was cut off quickly as Urie pulled the flower out from his coat. "For you," Urie deadpanned. Emotions were still not his strongsuit but for Mutsuki he would learn to show every emotion possible if it meant Mutsuki would stay with him.
At the reveal of the flower, Mutsuki let a soft smile cover his face. "I hope you like it. (Your smile is stunning.)" Mutsuki let out a small laugh. "Thank you Urie...I love it," his sentence faded into a whisper while the same smile still graced his features. Before Urie could become too entranced by the man in front of him, he decided it to be best if he answered Mutsuki's question. "We will be going to the Italian restaurant around the way. (I made sure they had vegetarian options for you.)" Mutsuki let the small smile completely overtake his features. "I love that restaurant...thank you." Urie only nodded and turned back forward to start the car and begin the drive to the restaurant. Urie hadn't known that Mutsuki loved the restaurant, only that he was vegetarian. Once the car shuttered to life, Urie had to take a deep breath before beginning the drive. It would be okay.
Mutsuki only made small comments on the drive there. He kept fidgeting in his seat, anxiety rolling off him in waves. Once it became too much, Urie offered his hand out. He looked over briefly at Mutsuki's expression only to see tears in the other man's eyes. Urie's stomach dropped. 'Oh no.' Immediately pulling over, Urie quickly got out of the car and walked to Mutsuki's side to open the door.
"I'm s-sorry. I'm sorry." Mutsuki kept repeating as Urie squatted down in front of him as Mutsuki shifted so his legs were hanging out the car. Urie simply shook his head. "Do not apologize. (I hate to see you in pain.)" Mutsuki took in deep, shaky breaths as Urie simply observed. His legs became uncomfortable from squatting for so long but he couldn't bring himself to care.
"I'm sorry..." Mutsuki finally spoke up after a while. Urie was about to tell him not to apologize but Mutsuki held a single finger up. "I know you don't want an apology but I need you to understand what you're signing up for." Urie only stared back, unsure what to say or do in this situation. "To begin, I can't...I can't give you what you want. I'm asexual and I just don't want sexual intimacy. Not ever." Urie stared back before saying, "You are what I want." Mutsuki's tears only spilled more. "No. I can't...I can't give you your sexual desires. I just...can't." Urie's face remained the same but Mutsuki could tell he was taking it in. "I don't need that. I need you. You are who I want. (Nothing would make me stop loving you.)" Mutsuki's tears were still streaming but his lips turned up into a smile. Leaning down, Mutsuki placed a small kiss on Urie's face. "I became anxious because I realized you may expect that of me after the date. Then my mind went to darker, more negative thoughts in which the other man didn't care what I wanted and did it anyways. I knew you wouldn't have hurt me but..." Urie just raised his hand. "You don't need to explain. I'm not mad. You are allowed to feel things Mutsuki. You are allowed to set boundaries. (Those men will pay for what they've done to you.)" Mutsuki just nodded, swinging his legs back into the car.
Before closing the car door, Urie asked, "Would you prefer to get takeout from this restaurant and go back to your place to eat it? We also do not have to continue this at all if you are feeling overwhelmed." Mutsuki blinked several times up at Urie before smiling again. "Urie, do you mind leaning down a bit?" Urie nodded, bending forward until he was only inches away from Mutsuki's face. Mutsuki leaned forward and gave a gentle peck to Urie's lips. Urie's ears became a brilliant shade of red and he leaned back. "I would love the first option." Urie's brain was still processing the small kiss but he nodded anyways. Returning to the driver's seat, he started the car again and drove to the restaurant. The rest of their night was unforgettable and when the night eventually came to an end, Mutsuki gave Urie another kiss on the cheek before bidding farewell.

I just gave a sermon at my church today about asexuality and how to be an ally. Not only did I get a lot of comments about how much people liked it (and how it was easy to understand for so many old folks), but one old lady came up to me afterwards with tears in her eyes and she said, "I'm 77 years old and I finally know what I am. Thank you." And that just made everything I've done worth it.
(also, thank you @onbearfeet for letting me use one of your blog posts. It resonated with a lot of people)

GLOBAL STRIKE ON APRIL 15
Tumblr media
"The terrorist Israeli occupation, after half a year, is still insisting on entering Rafah, which is the last city that still contains most of the population of the Gaza Strip.
80% of the Gaza Strip is destroyed and suffers from continuous military invasions, the movement of the Israeli army, besieging hospitals, commit massacres, destroy and blow up residential neighborhoods. And besieging the population and starving them.
The terrorist occupation is committing these crimes in front of the world, and is trying to have more time to destroy the hopes of the displaced to return and kill them with hunger and disease, and make the world get used to what is happening in Gaza and reduce media coverage and solidarity with Palestine, in addition to causing more destruction and strengthening the presence of the Israeli terrorists in Gaza in preparation for stealing the land.
Be smarter than them, and do not leave us to be killed and forgotten. *April 15 is a day of global strike*.. No schools, no movement, no work, no electronic payment, no gas stations. Make more noise and disturb the peace of terrorist politicians in America and IsraHell.
In the picture, me after half a year of documenting the genocide and surviving it daily without being sure of surviving the next day, and I will not stop until this genocide ends and I sit in the middle of my city feeling safe while I help my people rebuild Gaza."
Here's what to do:
Don't go to school or work (if you can)
Protest (if you can)
Do not shop anywhere
Do not use your credit card or use any money
Wear green, red, white and black clothes to show solidarity. Wear a badge, a keffiyeh, or anything that signifies your solidarity
Boost posts about Palestine, flood the media
Boycott!

Friendly reminder that "aroace" is NOT the umbrella term for the whole aromantic/asexual community
The correct umbrella term is Aspec
Aroace is its own specific identity and alloaros don't want to be placed in the "aroace" community

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

Things friends can't do according to allos!
(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe.)
Give each other meaningful gifts
Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes
Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)
Match clothes or accessories
Hold hands for 'too long' (???)
Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)
Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'
Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands
Lean onto the other emotionally and physically
Smile in one another's presence
Laugh at each others jokes
Give genuine advice
Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc
Ask how the others doing
I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

so apparently “asexual reproduction” is no longer the preferred scientific term, so if anyone makes a sponge joke or whatever just scream “IT’S AGAMETIC KNOW YOUR SCIENCE” and throw a textbook at them
