I saw a terf saying aspec people aren't actually queer so fuck them here's aromantic lucy heartfilia
cw: a few mentions of internalized arophobia
lucy who doesn't know that the word love exists until she reads it in one of the few fairytale books in her father's extensive library. lucy who doesn't quite get the kissing and the physicality and the fiery proclamations, but thinks that it's an okay price to pay for someone to be so passionate for her. to choose her and care about her, like her mother did before she passed.
lucy, who's eight years old and crying after another argument with her father, who summons aquarius and asks "do you love me?" aquarius feels her blood pressure rise, but seeing the broken look in her wielder's watery eyes, she decides to drop the snark. "I do, kid." "does that mean you wanna kiss me?" aquarius almost smacks lucy over the head.
lucy who doesn't quite understand the difference between how she cares for her spirits and how she felt about her mom. lucy who cares deeply for everyone who's important to her, who thinks that aquarius could just as easily be her knight in shining armor as the storybook prince. lucy who reads romance books because she wants someone like that in her life. lucy who's never had any friends besides aquarius. lucy who thinks it must be nice to have someone choose you, care about you, protect you. lucy decides that that's what love is.
lucy who's old enough to know she doesn't like her father. lucy who's so confused when she hates him but still cares about him. lucy who's old enough to run away from home but too young, too young.
lucy who joins fairy tail and has no idea what to expect. lucy who's startled by her new friends' openness and easy acceptance of her. lucy who blushes when natsu throws an arm around her, who feels warm and fuzzy when gray guides her by the small of her back, who has a lopsided grin on her face when erza links arms with her as they walk. lucy who suddenly thinks that she's in love with three people at once and panics (her storybooks never mentioned that!!).
lucy who turns to who she can confidently call her best friend, levy mcgarden, for help. levy sits her down with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies. they talk for hours about sexuality and attraction; lucy sleeps over that night. the word that sticks out the most in her mind is aromantic.
lucy who gets drunk at a party and gets a little too close to cana, and suddenly they're in cana's apartment, making out like there's no tomorrow. lucy who feels guilt creep up in the morning because she knows cana and gray and loke have something going, and she might've just ruined it. lucy who tears up when cana laughs because she's so, so confused. cana's expression morphs into concern and she wipes away her friend's tears, warm skin on skin. cana who tells lucy that what she does with gray and what she does with loke doesn't restrict her from what she does with other people. "we talked about it, I promise." cana reassures her. then, leaning in with a sexy smirk on her face, she whispers, "besides, they're probably jealous I took you home first~" the rush of heat is enough to make lucy's mind go blank with joy.
lucy who shyly asks cana about her relationships and learns so much she feels like her head is going to explode. lucy who has a crisis about her storybooks and her ideal romances. she's never going to have that, she realizes. it feels like someone's scooped out her chest.
lucy whose feelings ebb and flow like the tide. she's not used to this. being so... different. her storybooks are scattered across the floor, thrown in an angry fit. her door is locked, but her window isn't, and that's how natsu gets in. "you okay, luce? we haven’t seen you in a while."
the dam breaks. lucy sobs in natsu's arms, and all she can think is that this is the exact type of hurt/comfort scene she loves in her stories. she wishes she were normal, so she could love normally, so she could love natsu the normal way and be done with it. she doesn't realize she's talking out loud.
natsu cups her face, onyx eyes boring into chocolate ones. he squishes her cheeks together, the way he does when he thinks she's overthinking something. and then, natsu breaks through her entire crisis with three little words.
"does it matter?" he furrows his brow. "you're lucy, and I'm natsu, and I care about you." "but- I don't feel romantic attraction-" natsu huffs, frustrated that lucy's not getting something that's apparently obvious to him. "luce. I care about you, and I trust you, and I want to take care of you and protect you. who cares about anything else?" lucy blinks once, twice, and then she's sobbing again. natsu panics, because he knows he can be blunt and dismissive sometimes, but lucy barrels into him, clutching onto his scarf tightly.
"you care about me?" she whispers in a child's voice. that's more important to her than anything. romantic, platonic, the gray area in between, none of it matters as long as natsu cares.
natsu tightens his grip, wondering who he has to pummel for making his girl feel that way. "course I care about you, dummy. I'd burn down the world for you. and so would erza and gray and cana and everyone else."
lucy who has a really hard time moping when natsu's there every step of the way, trying to cheer her up. erza and gray show up, too, and it's hard to stay sad when she's being tickled by erza while gray cooks dinner and kicks natsu out of her kitchenette.
lucy who feels the hollow fill with something warm and gooey when erza gives her a hug, confessing that she often has trouble figuring out how she feels about anything. lucy laughs when erza tells her about the shenanigans that have happened when she doesn't pick up on someone flirting with her but gray and natsu do. she feels all fuzzy when gray leans against her, telling her that he feels the same way. his hand plays with hers, and she thinks it's nice how well they slot together.
lucy realizes when natsu falls asleep in her lap, arms wrapped protectively around her waist. lucy realizes when gray falls asleep at her side, erza tucked to his chest. lucy realizes that her friends make her feel like she's on top of the world, and she doesn't need a fairytale prince when she's got fairy tail.
an ex-executioner originating from inazuma, known for his exceeding prowess in hunting down targets & mentoring pupils in close combat. having successfully put down many vision users in the name of the kanjou commission, min-jun has serviced the hiiragi clan for many long years, his name & talents becoming vastly feared among those who dared to oppose the shogun's decree. much to their sheer luck, however, hiiragi shinsuke was eventually arrested & the vision hunting decree shut down, leaving the youkai to put down his talismans & lead a rather peaceful life... until he was approached by the fatui.
finding their offer too difficult to refuse, min-jun eventually left inazuma & joined their ranks, becoming assigned to mentor their new recruits in ways of close combat. in due time, his talents were put to the test by the higher-ups & exceeding their initial expectations, the youkai became a perfect candidate for la signora's position, thus taking a seat among them as ' the mentor. ' he serves them faithfully until this day.
if i see/hear one more person refer to taurus as a “masculine sign” or “the masculine side of venus” i am going to explode into a thousand pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!! LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS AN EARTH SIGN RULED BY VENUS AND THE PLACE OF EXALTATION FOR THE MOON IT IS MOTHER GAIA IT IS LITERALLY THE FIRST FEMININE SIGN OF THE ZODIAC WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your perception of what femininity means has become so warped and rotten due to social conditioning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to be sturdy and stable and stubborn in your ways and to have a strong desire to care for and pamper yourself and fill your own cup FIRST so you can nourish others RESPONSIBLY & SUFFICIENTLY and to have a practical approach to your nurturing nature and to be blunt with your boundaries and to be STRONG IS SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FEMININE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM BEGGING YOU TO REALISE THIS PLEASE
it really truly does have the same connotations to it as when people nowadays call fat women / hairy women “unfeminine” (which is obviously untrue), when this was absolutely not at all how people viewed womanhood in history, and stems from a much more ‘modern’ mindset that’s a direct result of our current social climate. fat + having volume to one’s body used to be seen as a clear indicator of good health and feminine fertility (nourishment => a very taurian trait!) and body hair was literally just so normal (being natural => another trait heavily linked to taurus!!!)
taurus, and every single one of the characteristics connected to the sign/archetype, is feminine >:I
I just realized that everyone I've ever dated and whose chart I've had full access to has been an air sign ASC even though I tend to dislike air signs.

FEMSLASH FEBRUARY 2023 #1: In which Donna wants to celebrate
[CN: food/dinner plans mention]
.
The alarm went off, and Donna reached over and whacked the snooze button. She lay back down, on her back, and Cameron inched over and rested her head on Donna’s chest, and her put her arm around Donna’s waist, just as they did most mornings.
Eyes still closed, Donna grinned. ��Hey!” she whispered. “Guess what day it is! It’s February 1! It’s your birthday month! Happy February!”
Cameron frowned. “Sure. Okay. Cool.”
Donna snorted, and then said, “Do you wanna celebrate by making out for a little while before I have to go get ready for work?”
Cameron hesitated for a moment, and then said, “That sounds great, but could we maybe raincheck that until I’m, like, awake? What about later, after you get home from work?”
“It’s a date,” Donna smiled.
Cameron scratched at an itch on her nose, and said, “I was gonna cook, but, do you wanna get a pizza instead?”
“That,” Donna groaned, “sounds amazing.”
Licorice the cat crept into their bedroom, and sprang up onto the bed, and then sat down near Donna’s feet. She did this most mornings, and would then follow Donna through the house as she got ready for work, as if to make sure she wouldn’t leave without feeding her. Still, Cameron said, “She heard us. She knows about the pizza. We have to get one, now.”
Licorice meowed brightly, as if to agree, and Cameron and Donna both laughed.
The alarm went off again, and Donna sighed, and Cameron moved to let her sit up, reach over, and hit the alarm’s off button.
Donna stretched her arms over her head, and then swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up finally. Licorice followed, hopping down onto the floor after her.
Grabbing her robe off the arm chair and pulling it over her shoulders, Donna turned around, to face the bed again. She gazed at Cameron for a moment, and then asked,“See you tonight, then?”
Cameron opened an eye, and looked up at her partner. “Can’t wait, Boss.”

This is fair from the "art hoe" stoner boy pov 😂 I was more thinking that he's pretty calming overall like (Jonathan byers pep talk) and my best friend is a Scorpio and his energy is so chaotic so that's what I'm used to and that does not mesh with Jonathan imo. But I will consider this. Also Thank you!
