PRIDE SHARKS!!

decided to draw these little guys for pride month!! I love sharks and wanted to do something special this month

here are the breeds + flags from the top:

aromantic flag bluntnose sixgill shark (they are also known as cow sharks, which is really cute!!)

asexual flag pacific spiny dogfish (despite the name, they’re not dogs but adorable sharks!!)

intersex flag leopard shark (their spots are so neat, I adore them)

transgender flag nurse shark (nurse sharks are one of my favourite sharks!! second only to the little pacific spiny dogfish)

bisexual flag cookie cutter shark (they always look so silly, but their bite packs a punch!! cookie cutter sharks can take chunks out of prey)

agender flag hammerhead shark (sorry if he looks a bit too similar to the aromatic flag cow shark!! on a side note, there’s sort of a nostalgia factor for me when I see a hammerhead, because they’re my dad’s favourite shark!! mine, at the time, was whale sharks!)

genderfluid flag lollipop catshark (the most adorable name I’ve ever seen given to a shark!! yet another one of my favourites, they’re just so small, like kittens and lollipops. maybe that’s where the name’s from?)

lesbian flag sand tiger shark (despite their intimidating features and sharp teeth, they are indeed passive! the only unprovoked attacks made by sand tiger sharks on humans are by juveniles that still are not grown enough)

gay flag blue fin shark (or just the blue shark!! it’s indeed a blahaj. such a beautiful blue.)

that’s all of them! sorry I couldn’t fit too many sharks onto this one canvas. if I could, I’d scrawl more on the walls!!

might make another canvas filled with pride sharks soon!!

aro/ace themed valentine's day teddy bears ^^ because i just recently found out i might be arospec but also just cuz like..... why not

I wish some aces would stop excluding other aces with complex sexual experiences. like I get why but you have to realize that being ace does not mean they don't enjoy sexual experiences and it's weird when you complain about allo people and boil it down to "people who have sexual experiences" and also shame people for their sex life and kinks as if your own community doesnt INCLUDE those people. because there are other aces out there who still masturbate, who feel sexually attracted to their own body, who barely experiences sexual attraction but still enjoys sex, who like consuming sexual media, who like sfw kink. being ace is so so much more complex than just "disliking sex". and also aromantic exclusionism in the same genre of posts is something i see a lot. especially aro allos. I hate hate hate seeing a community that SHOULD be inclusive boil down sexuality and exclude people.

an aro-ace's love letter to love.

(the title "Laozi's bowl" is in reference to the famous quote by Chinese philosopher Laozi who said "It is the empty space which makes the bowl useful.")

okay, as someone on both the ace and aro spectrums, there is nothing wrong with shipping aroace characters.

it is a Spectrum, and just like there are sex favorable aces, sex neutral ones, and sex averse ones (or people like myself who are somewhere in between!), there is more than one way to identify as aro. for fucks sake, please stop harassing people in fandom for shipping things because it doesn't fit your definition of what being aroace means.

Miscellaneous hajime/izurus cause im obsessed

happy pride to trans aros and nonbinary aros specifically. i love you guys so much

can everyone stop using virgin as an insult and implying/saying that not having sex is bad and makes you a loser or whatever

"I don't ship securitywaiter" I say as I continue to fall deeper and deeper down the "crackship" rabbit hole.

I feel a lot more connected with my aromantic label than I do my asexual label

not sure if it's cause I like the aro flag more (I love green so much) or if it's because I feel the romance aspect comes up a lot more than the sex

just wondering if anyone else feels this way with their labels

brothers we MUST stay focused

how delusional can you be as if it's disrespecting

oh no… diagnosis is loneliness… my heart is breaking… i need a non-dating dating app to find aroace people in my area NOW STAT

hey apparently there are haters following me and i just want to say i fully support mspec lesbians, mspec gays, lesboys, gaygirls, gaybians, etc etc and any queer good faith identities that are contradictory or confusing or """"wrong""". my own identity and some of my friends' identities fit this definition completely. if you don't like this you can unfollow me 👍

Shout out to the one zosan shipper that was on the zolu tag spewing bullshit about how "zolu shippers read the manga incorrectly" and that it was "erasure to ship luffy who is aroace with anyone"... 😅

sometimes i just want to be in a platonic relationship (NO sex incluided), with a dog as the child, just cuddling, doing movie marathons, playing mario kart or our favorite games, baking cakes, living together (cause the rent is easier to pay that way), talking about and reading books, making playlists, buying matching onesies/hoodies that we will never use in our lifes, bring eachother breakfast in bed, going on adventures, explore together, "i love you" (Platonically), hang out, support and help eachother grow as a person, just being there for the other, but yk... as friends

Then the next second im like nah i dont need that
