While separating relationships into strictly sexual, platonic, or romantic or some combination of those is fine for understanding the aromantic and asexual spectrum at a basic level, we must eventually understand that some relationships will never fit into these categories and often queer relationships are more complex than that, and our definition of queer relationships must include abstract relationships. As a community based on gender anarchy, debasing gender roles, and freedom to love how we will, we have to move away from immediately defining relationships.

for the longest time, I thought friends with benefits meant people who are friends for like some business exchange or to rely on each other financially/reputationally. IT TURNS OUT it meant something completely different.

SO THAT MEANS I'VE BEEN SAYING "Oh so in this story, you're saying the characters got a friends with benefits thing going on" AND NO ONE CORRECTED ME-

jsyk, most people aren’t dickwads about therian gear irl.

whenever i do quads, it’s public quads becuase i don’t have a backyard, i live in an apartment complex.

i have had in depth conversations with people who reacted positively to seeing me do quads.

i have talked at length with unhoused people in full therian gear (using only my AAC no less)

i literally just waved and said hi (with gestures, bc i can’t talk) to some landscapers who were cleaning up the grass on the field i usually do quads at! they asked me how i was doing and i nodded and smiled.

it’s literally only losers on social media who are gonna shit on you. i have gotten one, irl negative reaction to someone seeing me do quads in full gear. which was immediately shut down when i smiled and waved.

in general, real life people don’t care how you’re dressed, or that you’re doing a weird sport. they care that you are kind and pleasant to them.

if they do care, being out in public and being face to face (and not hiding behind a screen) with you is gonna greatly change how they interact with you.

do whatever you want forever. no one is gonna stop you. i love you.

Me because I refuse to take off my headphones:

DPDR culture is realizing you don't actually remember what it feels like to not be dissociating, and every time you try to think about it the dissociation gets worse.

Alloaros are not inherently more sexual than anyone else, and they don’t have to have sex to prove their alloaroness. An alloaro who has never had sex or who no longer has sex — whether due to not being able to find a partner, being celibate, experiencing trauma, not being ready, or any other reason — is no less alloaro than someone who has had lots of sex or who has one or more foveo(s)/FWB(s). There is no shame in an alloaro person having sexual relationships that don’t involve romantic feelings (or even platonic feelings!), but being alloaro without having sex isn’t a contradiction either.

coming out of my cage and i been doing just bad. going back in my cage because i like my cage

i like the identifier "overhuman/humanmore." i read it and immediately thought of myself. i am a coyote. i am a jackrabbit i am a dragon. but at the end of the day, i still participate in human society and have human goals. i still find importance in my human body and mind even if it's uncomfortable. it's okay to not be "totally" animal; it doesn't make you any less valid or less alterhuman. we are all different in different ways, and that's what i think is so incredible about this community

people always have a lot of rude things to say about tumblr users, how we're antisocial or what have you, but don't believe a word of it. i personally have noticed a lot of people on this website are actually deeply involved in their campus greek life and i applaud them!! i don't personally know much about Theta Delta but they seem like a very positive force in students' lives, and very committed to inclusivity <3
