“You don’t know you’re ace/aro, you might feel attraction later” and??? That’s true for most other orientations too. Any straight person might be attracted to someone of the same gender later on. If they don’t say “I’m straight at the moment, but I might be bi someday you never know teehee,” then I think they can deal with me saying I’m aroace.
Two patches I've been wanting to make for a little while:
"Support your sisters not just your cis-ters" is a message I found when exploring feminism on the internet around 2011, I always look back and feel very thankful that I found trans inclusive feminism as a teenager 🥰🏳️⚧️
Genderqueer menace is based off of the activism and shirts that say transsexual menace
You can not convince me this boy does not own a pair of wireless earbuds?! He pulled out the wired ones on purpose to have an excuse to sit close to his boy
It will never cease to amaze me that people genuinely feel bad for aros and aces. Life is an infinite buffet of joy. I’m allergic to a couple popular dishes, but so is everyone. Look how much more food there is. No one could possibly have it all.
listen i know arakawa vehemently refused the idea of introducing a love triangle/a love rival in silver spoon
but heres the thing
she already did
her name is ayame minamikujou
she is introduced as mikage's childhood friend. shes loud and condescending and annoying. but most importantly she is viscerally jealous of hachiken's spot in ezo ag because it means he gets to go to school with mikage.
she believes he took the place that belongs to her. she treats him poorly. refuses to remember his name and picks whatever number comes to her mind instead. to a point that becomes ridiculous. like what the fuck is this
she shows zero respect towards him but she. compliments mikage a lot? under the guise of being a rival of course but like we know how gay rivalries tend to be. she shows a lot of faith in mikage's abilities and pushes her to be better. she's even the whole reason mikage becomes less nervous and competes as well as she did.
i dont have the panels but did i mention that she founded an equestrian club at her school and is its only member? going through all that trouble just to see mikage in competitions? probably getting hounded by faculty to get more members or to give it up? all that for a girl? interesting. very interesting
anyways the day hachiken collapses she drops by to be a general nuisance, but when aki asks for her help, she calls her dad to bring her horse with zero hesitation
the second she hears aki intends to go to college, she decides she wants to go too (once again under the guise of "competition", which is fooling absolutely nobody by now)
when she fails and shingo pushes her to try again, she complains that it means she would be aki's junior.
what this means :
a- confirmation that just like many other things literally her only motivation is to be with aki
b- as pointed out by hachiken, she fully believes that aki will get in through her recommendation
when aki's recommendation is accepted she brags about knowing aki had it in her all along. and like, she's right. she believed in mikage the whole time (even though she shows it in her weird ojou-sama ways)
bonus: she hates men
the entire thing is hilarious in and of itself (imo she is THE funniest character) but what makes it funnier is the idea that arakawa didnt put in a love rival at the request of her editor, just to write a character that is essentially a mockery of the idea.
even funnier than that is the fact that hachiken was sitting there, worrying sick about the possibility of aki and komaba being together because of a few misunderstandings, when this girl is essentially claiming that she will steal his gf whenever she's on the page
ok ive spoken my truth time to hide away for a few more months
My pieces for the "Sayembara Benang Raja" zine! A collection of art and short stories made entirely by queer Indonesians~ I drew mlm and wlw Loro Blonyo couples being harmonious :)
Check out the zine on gumroad and itch.io, it's free! All the stories and illustrations come with a little explanation for cultural context.
Gabriel making dinner for him n Felipe in The Boys tiny kitchen.. (never mind that Fleep already grabbed burgers after work... he's hungry it's fine!)
Vaguely future times when they are dating, and roommates with Sammy, yay!!! I love this era! I love thinking of them being cute and domestic. <3 Eyeliner on the list, this is an Emo Band Household.
I don't think Gabriel was cooking as often in the more "current" timeline, when he lives alone or with Eve. (I imagine Eve cooking big batches of food so they can have leftovers often.) But he knows how to do basic recipes and I think he enjoys doing it. Moving in with Felipe he wants to get meals ready so they aren't relying on fast food as often... (Felipe: teehee!) But with Gabe's schedule, sometimes he just has time for heating up frozen foods. And that's just fine! 👍
Thinking of making a patch that is the genderqueer flag with the words "genderqueer menace" in reference to the transsexual menace shirt with the same font
