welcome to aromantic awareness week everyone, to start i would like to call out my younger self who justified not having crushes by saying "ugh i know them too well, i can't have a crush on them now" and my knowledge of how crushes work still hasn't changed!
just like the horrors my gender is incomprehensible
my younger sister's middle school was doing a fine arts night where they like, do music and shit. so the preschoolers were singing a song called 'jesus is my superhero' and it was accompanied by a lego stop motion animation where a ton of superheros ran around and sang together and every once and a while there'd be a person in jedi robes doing a little gig. so i sat there for a while trying to figure out if it was anakin or obi-wan but the face didn't match either of them.
it took me about 2 - 3 minutes to realize that it was the man himself, Jesus Christ.
au where eberytjings the same but they have to go to five guyd
sorry tik tok. i didn't use you (on account of my hatred for clocks and all their sounds) but it's pretty fucked up that they were able to take you away. and that it's possible return is being used for trump propaganda. godspeed.

younger me: my youth invigorates me. i am empowered by my lack of age and it keeps me strong. i can bound over hills in a single leap and my childish energy strengthens my every step. the world is a mystery that i shall uncover with my seemingly endless days for i am young and i shall inherit the earth.
some online game: you have to be 13 to play :/
me: oh but i am woefully old! my age withers my face and seeps into my bones. i have seen time consume whole empires and species but it does not take me. my eyes are old and have seen much. my mind is full of the wonders of the world that i have discovered throughout my time on earth and i have uncovered secrets older than the ageless rocks that scatter the shores. i have seen the dinosaurs walk this land and have seen the first sunrise that graced the skin of the earth.
just found out that the reason Omega is a girl is because her mutation took on a more extreme form or something and NOT because she's trans like i initially thought. doesn't make much sense but pop off i guess.
i wear a white and black ring as an aroace person and every acespec or arospec person i've met i've had to describe why i wear them every single time except once. i was talking to an acespec friend of mine a bit ago about the card suit thing and they didn't even know it was something that was done. idk it feels like every time that i bring up something i learned about as being ace or aro culture, my ace and aro friends have never even heard about it. it's kinda sad
every time i think about the aphobia and blatant erasure of aspec culture that’s been so rampant in online spaces i get SO sad. now aspec people don’t even know their own history!! aspec people are calling queerplatonic relationships “just friends”!! people are confusing asexuality with celibacy and aromanticism with asexuality!! aspec people think aspec identities are a 2000s fad!! this is so sad!!!!!
my sister: i love you
me: i'm watching a cinnamon toast crunch ad
