I need to rant.

The thing about being aromantic, asexual, or on the spectrums that a lot of people don’t seem to get is that compulsory sexuality exists.

Not just compulsory heterosexuality. Compulsory sexuality. Period. The idea that every person on the planet feels some kind of sexual and romantic attraction.

I grew up watching media, same as all of you, and how are people that are interested in purely sexual relationships depicted? As cold people. As cheaters. Usually it’s a straight man looking to use women. His character development almost always includes settling down. And people that don’t experience sexual attraction? Characters like Data from Star Trek or Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Androids and characters coded as having a very specific type of autism. And even they have sexuality forced upon them by the writers at least once. With Data it happens in the second episode.

And then we try to explain this to people. Why we hurt ourselves and put ourselves in dangerous and uncomfortable situations trying to fix ourselves. Make ourselves feel sexual and/or romantic attraction. We bring up the bullying we endured. The things our therapists tried to fix about us. We talk about our trauma related to compulsory sexuality and you all just don’t hear us.

I’m so tired of it. I’ve been fighting the fight to be seen since I was fourteen! I’ve given talks in GSAs. I’ve written essays to educate. I’ve comforted other asexual people on the internet and irl. I’ve scraped and grabbed for community. I’ve done my very best to fight to be seen. I’ve healed from the trauma I put myself through in trying to fix myself. I’ve realized that I don’t need to be fixed. I’ve been as goddamned involved as an asexual person can be with the resources we have. I may be young but I have been fighting longer than most and I am so protective of the people just realizing that they’re aro or ace or demi or anything else. No matter how much older or younger they are than me.

And then some people on the internet decide that they get to undo everything I and so many other asexual and aromantic people have done. They get to decide that their trauma is more real than mine. They get to push me and my brothers and sisters and siblings out the door because they don’t see invisibility as oppression. They’ve held up their little sign that says “must be this oppressed to enter” and then held it up higher so that we didn’t fit.

Some of them told me “oh you can come in because you tick these boxes but that other box doesn’t count”

No. That box definitely counts. That box is just as much a part of me as any of the others and it is the one I have fought for the longest. Our community won’t be made invisible again. Invisibility is crushing. It is suffocating. Abuse and hatred of all kinds thrive in silence.

I feel alone sometimes. Like I am the only soldier holding a banner in front of a stone wall. But I am not alone, and you aren’t either. I’m tired of being casual. I’m tired of being seen as a rarity. A novelty. An android. A nuisance. I am none of these things. I, like every other arospec or aspec person, am a friend of dragons. Something that was hidden for so long, protecting itself and what it loves, but has the ability to be loud, dangerous, firey.

Asexual and aromantic people have been polite. Quiet. Because that’s what we feel we have to be. We can’t protest by kissing someone in front of a picket line. What can we do then? Talk. Write. Wear our colors. If we have to keep being polite and quiet about it, fine. That’s how we do. But let’s not be invisible. I will continue to let everyone that knows me understand under no uncertain terms that I am asexual. I will point to our aromantic siblings, sisters, brothers. I will tell you to look at them. Look at us. We exist. We are wonderful. We belong. In queer spaces, in the media, in the public eye.

If you are aro or ace people will tell you that they don’t care. They will ask why they need to know. But being yourself is a radical act. I know it is. We are often polite in this community. We don’t rally. We don’t look to change the world. We don’t depict ourselves as radical or challenging the establishment, but we are. We are. We have been from the moment we realized we exist. Our history is small. We are creating the early stages of it as we speak, but it is still rich. It is still beautiful. Even if we are spread out, I love this community so deeply. So completely. I probably won’t ever be a leader in this community or any other one. That’s not where my talents lie. But I will continue to push for us to be seen. I will write literature for us. I will talk. I will be as visible as someone like me can be. I will fight to make the words ace and aro and demi and grey just as well known as gay, ace, lesbian, bi, trans.

And there are so many of us out there doing the same. We are not alone. We have never been alone. And these people trying to make us alone won’t succeed. I know this. I feel it in my gut.

Thanks for listening to me rant.

10 Days of LawLu 2017 [S T R A W H E A R T]

03. Red

I have a lot of fun drawing this fanart!

And whoever hurt Law, he or she is going to die.

sanji after punk hazard: i warn you, luffy probably has a different idea of "alliance" than you

law: yeah okay whatever

law in dressrosa: the alliance is over, you need to leave i'll kill you if you rescue me

luffy: no can do fucker we're PIRATE MARRIED now and you're gonna have to file a divorce to get rid of me which will never happen because i dont know how to sign my name

Police/ Detective Au

Yeea, introducing my new AU.

It’s a ZoSan modern AU, where Sanji and Zoro work as detectives in the same police department. They are married.

Some history aspects are already listed in the pictures, but some more info:

Sanji basically started a new life in a new town.

He got to know Zoro the first day he visited the police department but he started work in a different branch of the department

They were introduced to each other by their boss (Nami) as they were both top graduates of their respective schools and immediately shared a mutual respect for each other

Sanji asked Zoro out after a few weeks, they dated, moved in together and got married pretty quickly

Then Sanji got transferred to Zoro’s department and everyone was excited to see how the (married) top detectives would work together

Only it didn’t work out. at all.

Both are incredibly ambitious and don’t like to share the spotlight, so they always end up fighting when working on a case together.

The first time was so bad, they almost got divorced.

Even though their teamwork is so bad, Nami puts them together as a team occasionally, mostly due to financial reasons.

Usually, they get things done in the end, like the badass married couple they are, but it’ll always be pure chaos.

Outside of work, their marriage functions wonderfully though & I hope to share some fluffy domestic hcs soon.

Yay to all fic writers!

Yay to those who write book-length stories that keep me company when I can’t sleep or the ones who keeps me awake until dawn.

Yay to those who write short stories that I can read quickly for my dose of daily happiness.

Yay to those who give me angst/fluff when I need it.

Yay to those who put tears in my eyes, joy or sadness, I love them all.

Yay to those who taught me how to keep a straight face when reading smut but can’t make me not blush when reading fluff.

Yay to those who put feelings into words.

Yay to those who fixed it. To those who broke it.

Yay to those who give us more time with our favorite characters.

Yay to those who support the common ship.

Yay to those who navigate on a raft.

Yay to those who put hours Into research to make it more real.

Yay to those who didn’t because it’s fiction and it should feel like it.

Yay to those who do justice to characters.

Yay to those who give good and diverse representations.

Yay to those who are the foundation of fandoms.

Yay to those who write by passion, for free, to us.

Yay to fic writers.

Me: Not that I’m a snob but I dont like e readers I like the feel of the paper the smell of a book

Also me: Spends hours glued the phone eyes squinting and red reading fanfiction

I honestly think that we deserve a series with a good established gay couple.

A series where a gay couple is just as normal as a straight couple.

A series where we won’t have to look too hard to find a gay moment.

Reblog if you agree.

possibly my favorite trope in the hobbit fics is the dwarves underestimating a hobbit’s appetite and either fretting that they’ve been starving bilbo or worried that he has some kind of eating disorder

Bilbo: *stuffing his face as only hobbits can and oblivious*

Thorin: *acting majestic but having internal panic attack* have we not been feeding him enough?

Fíli: where do you suppose he’s putting it all?

Kíli: do you think he’ll explode

To all the fanfiction writers out there!

Just a quick reminder for people new and old to fandoms.

You do not owe someone an explaination for shipping something

You do not need to defend your ship

You do not need to prove your ship is ‘healthy’ in order to ship it

You do not need to ship healthy ships

You do not need to ship hetero, gay, or queer ships that satisfy some quota of diversity for the fandom

You do not have to ship at all

And on the flip side:

Do not try to harm others

Do not tell others they need to harm or kill themselves

Do not cross post your hate

Do not forget to tag NSFW items as people browse while on a work network

Do not post your long fics without putting it under a cut. Some people use mobile and this is really hard for them to scroll, or use text to speech

In the end, ship what you want, don’t ship what you don’t want to ship, and be courteous to one another. And as a last piece of advice, don’t focus on your notp. Post your ships instead and build up what you love, not what you hate.

people who leave detailed reviews on fanfiction are a gift to the world

all fanfic writers, ever, awake at ungodly hours doubting everything they’ve ever written or thought of writing until they see that one (or more, hopefully!) magical, long-ass comment that makes every bit of struggle totally and completely worth it (via rudderless-in-an-ocean-of-stars)

I recognize that canon has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it and indulge myself in fanfic

this year’s round of pride dragons, happy pride you guys!!!! feel free to use these with credit yeehaw
