What do you do in your journey to become cultured?
Well I missed out on pretty much everything culture in my childhood :( then I got to uni and made friends so basically whatever culture they know I'll know (I watched a lot of films last year for example because two of my friends are film nerds), I want to watch atla and lok and toh, I am playing some games with friends when I can (they have switches, I don't and can't get one but I will play with them occasionally), I am just learning a lot of stuff in general that people know. Goodbye for now as I am about to watch mummy (with the film nerds yes) but ask away more if thou wish
Me: I’m asexual
Person: But you don’t look asexual
Me: Sorry let me just-
My dream of dreams for Arcane season 2 is to have a sweet little montage of Vi ans Jinx just running around causing chaos in Zaun to this song. Just them having fun together as sisters again and nothing else matters for them.

i honestly feel like my ~ whatever that is going on in my brain ~ (anxiety? adhd? autism? all? who knows!) blends so much with my aroaceness that i can't separate one from another. i don't understand love at first sight the way people do— that “i knew it was you from the first moment i saw you”, i don't understand one night stands because wdym you can trust your body to someone you just met after a couple of drinks? i don't understand why love fades the same way it appeared, out of nowhere. i don't understand how you can actually feel horny or heavily attracted to someone you saw on the streets, like wdym you saw a cute girl and got a boner? how does that work? (i am aware i am exaggerating with this one lol) (at least i hope so) i don't understand how you can simply Not Care about your lover's feelings and cheat on them, why don't you tell them “nah i am not interested anymore”? why is it okay to lie for a long time to avoid hurting them (and ending up causing more pain) instead of inflicting less pain sooner?
i don't understand the way most people “love”, the way they handle “romantic” relationships, i don't get the difference between marriage and dating, i don't understand a handful of things and i don't know if it's because my brain tends to think way too literally when it needs the heart or it's because love doesn't blind me and make me do dumb things.
being aroace is kinda a headache sometimes, i guess.

Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear
Upgraded to Photoshop CC; trying to figure out where everything is.
The screencaps I used were taken from this very convenient REFERENCE SCREENCAPS ALBUM.

Edward Hirsch, “Self-Portrait” I suppose my left hand and my right hand will be clasped over my chest in the coffin and I’ll be reconciled at last, I’ll be whole again.
