the fact that kou CANONLY says “No more Mr. Nice Guy” when he gets mad
I genuinely think the reason people leave out Black asexuals and aromantics is because we contradict too much. To fully acknowledge Black asexuality and aromanticism means questioning the idea sexual & romantic absence = whiteness. Why do you think asexual and aromantic = sexless and why sexless = white. It means unpacking what is so non-asexual about Blackness. What is so non-aromantic about Blackness. It means unpacking why Black lovelessness is uniquely heartless. It means unpacking why you're comfortable with the exclusion of Black love, but are scared by Black lovelessness. It means unpacking why you think Black asexuality can't exist outside of Black desexualisation. It means unpacking why you think Black aromanticism can't exist outside sexualisation. And vice versa. It means unpacking why don't think Black people have the actual autonomy to be ace and/or aro. It means unpacking why people more marginalised than you can make space for asexuality and aromanticism when you can't, despite it being an 'oppressor' identity. It means unpacking why the only mainstream representations of Black asexuality and aromanticism that could exist are the Mammy and the Jezebel and Mandingo. It means unpacking that sexless and loveless Black people don't benefit from these tropes. It means unpacking why sexlessness and lovelessness is seen as purity and why Black ace and/or aro people don't to be 'pure'. It means not only asking why asexuality and aromanticism is associated with being white, but actively asking why asexuality and aromanticism 'can't' be associated with being Black. It means unpacking why you can't name any Black ace and/or aro characters or public figures. It means addressing what happens when asexuality and aromanticism stop existing in vacuums and start overlapping with the identities you actually 'get'. These are the scary questions you get to ignore when you can just claim being ace and/or aro is 'white and cishet' identity instead.

Fuck.😭😭
intersex bodies are just as natural and regular as perisex bodies, the only difference is that perisex bodies are more common. being intersex is not a birth defect in the same way being a perisex woman is not a birth defect. nothing broke, nothing is "wrong" with us, we are just less common.
being a perisex woman or a perisex man isn't a medical condition and neither is being intersex. when our intersex conditions cause other health complications it is not because we are intersex, it is because of a medical condition associated with being intersex.
a person with a uterus who has endometriosis isn't experiencing a symptom of having a uterus they are experiencing endometriosis.
intersex bodies are heavily medicalized. they are treated as problems that need to be solved, but being intersex isn't a medical condition. we don't need to be diagnosed and forced through "treatment" to make us as close to perisex as possible, we need support, awareness, and acceptance.
tldr; intersex bodies are just as natural as perisex bodies. intersex existence needs to stop being medicalized
The urge to make this into a mini series😩😩😩
Can you imagine being a Christian and then turning into a vampire???
You want to read the Bible? Oh no sorry you hiss at it instead but that's fine. You want to go to church? Well you can't go inside but sit on the doorstep and listen to the service if it makes you feel better I guess. You want to wear the lovely silver cross necklace from your grandmother? Lmao no you gotta wear the ugly ass wooden fish one you got for twenty pence from charity shop.
It's even funnier when you consider other vampires. Like imagine some random vampire is drinking blood from a dead body and the Christian vampire is sitting there like 'John what the fuck is wrong with you'. All the other vampires are drinking blood out of wine glasses in dramatic gothic outfits and there's this one person in a flowery cardigan slurping coconut water out of a juice box.
Yeah, seems legit
so anyway
Currently questioning if I should have this conversation with my parents or if I enjoy having a good relationship with them.
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
