Persephone: Where have you been?
Hades, coming back from a meeting with Poseidon and Zeus: Emotional hell.
Why must the duty fall on me, the writer, to write the story that’s in my head, not on the reader, to simply develop the power of telepathy and *read* my mind for a change, huh?
Maybe this is anecdotal but I know a fair amount of aces and literally none of them are cis and het. Cis and het aces/aros are rad and valid of course! But the fact that I don't know any, yet one of the major exclu talking points is about cishet invaders, is so suspicious. I know 1 cis ace and she's a lesbian, the rest I know are all trans + nb and none of them are het either. The one aro I know is also a lesbian and nonbinary (frat boy stawman argument destroyer lol)!
I think one survey said only 1-3% of aces are cis and hetromantic. They matter and I will go to bat for any, but it’s definitely using a minority of a minority agaisnt the whole.
So much of what is “cringe” is just… earnest.
Someone told me my hair and fashion style was “too 2010s.” It’s only been two years. Please!😭😭😭
Pardon me while I throw everything I own away and buy hundreds of dollars of now clothes so I can be one of the cool kids.
Seriously though, who has the time, money and energy to completely reinvent themselves every time a new style drops. Not me. 👋

is he “trauma dumping” on you or have you just not unpacked what the patriarchy has taught you outside of “woman bad” and you think men expressing any kind of emotion or vulnerability is bad actually.
