the mspec to aspec pipeline is real and it happened to me
[ID: a collection of m-spec flags (including bi, pan, poly, omni, and multisexual) at one end of a pipeline with a collection of a-spec flags (including aro, ace, greyace, greyaro, demi, demiro, and aroace) at the other end. end ID]
People assume queer platonic relationships are on a straight line from friendship to romance, but actually from a non-linear, non subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, feelingsy weelingsly… stuff.
I freaking love seeing the arguments lol. I've never seen this many people talking about aroace people before and it's over a demonic deer man that's a cannibal. Genuinely wouldn't have it any other way it's funny imo. Anyway here's how I feel as an aroace summarized.
I just want to see someone write him as like... idk demisexual/demiromantic or aegosexual or something. More ace-spectrum and aro-sprctrum identities, alongside aroace, deserve representation too! I wanna see those interpretations of the character dangnabbit! Well, if you want it done, just gotta do it yourself I guess. Lol
Okay 👏 I am a bit late but I had a massive stardew valley session and I've not been able to play for the past week. (If anyone is wondering, Alex is my future hubby (in stardew valley ofc)). Either way, sorry for being late.
Today we are doing the Arospec flag, Acespec flag, Ally flag and the Gender queer flag.
Arospec flag up first.
First impressions, it's giving: going to buy paint with my mum at homebase and getting those paper strips with all the paint shades and colours. But in a good way. I love the green aesthetic where the top is more of a yellowish-green and the bottom a blueish-green as it smoothly transitions between the shades. But again t̲̂̓ͩ̑ḣ̖̻͛̓ẹ̿͋̒̕ l̷̢̨̨̫̼͙̞͉̗͉̖̲̖̞̿̉i̵̢̢̡͚̩̞̥͕̜̻̫̩̐̈͘͜️ṉ̵͓̬͈̞̥̭̥̇̓̔͋ẹ̷͓̺̰̽̍͛̉̐̔͋̓̚͜️ş̵̛̳̍̃̏͆̏̂̎͌͘͝͝͝͝.
8.5/10
Acespec flag up next.
It's giving Lily from Duolingo; in a good way too. However, I do think that the dark purple at the top in general is a bit out of place from the rest of the colours. However, I 𝘢𝘮 gay and extra, so my favourite colour is purple and I truly am a sucker for all purples so,
7.5/10 (also, this was a suggestion from a reader so, suggest me more to make my job easier)
Ally flag up next.
Honestly, solid flag. I don't know what to say apart from that it (technically) is not j̪̟̮̔ͩư̡͕̭̇s̠҉͍͊ͅt̲̂̓ͩ̑ l̷̢̨̨̫̼͙̞͉̗͉̖̲̖̞̿̉i̵̢̢̡͚̩̞̥͕̜̻̫̩̐̈͘͜️ṉ̵͓̬͈̞̥̭̥̇̓̔͋ẹ̷͓̺̰̽̍͛̉̐̔͋̓̚͜️ş̵̛̳̍̃̏͆̏̂̎͌͘͝͝͝͝.
7.75/10
Time for the Gender queer flag.
Again, purple makes my eyes moan, especially that lavender shade. The green on the other side is great too. But one issue I have with the flag is that, if you're familiar with the history of women's rights in England around the early parts on the 1900's, you'd be familiar with the suffragettes. And if you've seen their flag, you'd realize the way that they look so similar. Doing research on the flag, the creator of the Gender queer flag didn't know about the Suffragette flag and that it was only an accident that it looks so similar. While I know that they weren't trying to appropriate the suffragette flag, it would not take too much effort to turn the flag by 90°. Besides that,
not to be aro on main but the funniest thing about being demiromantic is that people assume we can only fall for our friends. in reality, it’s just about the emotional bond. we can still have our enemies to lovers arcs
Me in my early teen and childhood years: I don’t understand hookup culture at all, I’ll save myself for marriage or only sleep with someone I trust completly or I’m in love with otherwise I don’t really want to
