Asexuality by Tiny Dinosaur :)!
Seeing a lot of debate recently on if bowuigi is a 'healthy' ship or how to make it 'work' and be 'non-problematic'.
Friendly reminder your ship doesn't have to be healthy. You dont need to justify why you want a evil turtle and a plumber to fuck. You don't have to do a redemption if you don't want too. You can keep Bowser a raging asshole if you feel like it. Or make him sweet as pie. You can make luigi like him for any reason you want.
Your ship doesn't have to be squeaky clean pure-or hell-even follow anything with canon. You can make a AU so detached from canon its basically its own new property if you want.
Shipping is supposed to be fun. If you find yourself sitting there trying to draw or write and find yourself trying to write your characters as pure as possible so you don't get backlash remind yourself the first rule of creating: the audience is YOU first, everyone else second.
Some People hate my human Bowser. I'm still going to draw him. Some people hate my comic. I'm still going to write it.
Drawing and writing is only fun if you allow yourself to tell the story you want too. Remember that.
happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality!Â
I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!
EDIT: I updated the slide that refers to asexuality as “aspec” to “acespec.” The term aspec refers to the a community as a whole – both asexuals and aromantics – while acespec refers to the asexual spectrum and arospec referes to the aromantic spectrum. You can see this mirrored in the terms acephobia (experienced by aces), arophobia (experienced by aros), and aphobia (experienced by both aces and aros). Thank you to those of you who tagged this post with their correction!
EDIT 2: now with a text-only option!
i’m collecting these
Viscous/vicious – Viscous is generally used to describe the consistency of blood or other thick liquids. Vicious is used to describe something or someone who is violent.Â
Piqued/Peaked/Peeked – To pique someone’s interest is to catch or tease their attention. When something peaks, it reaches its total height or intensity. To peek (at) something is to look briefly, or glance.Â
Discrete/Discreet – this is a tough one. Discrete means to be separate, or distinct, i.e., two discrete theories. Conversely, when someone is discreet, they are being secretive or cautious to avoid attention.Â
Segue/Segway – one is a transition between things, the other is a thing you can ride at the park and definitely fall off of.
Conscious/Conscience/Conscientious – to be conscious is to be awake, i.e., not unconscious, or to be aware of something. Your conscience is the little voice in your head telling you not to eat the entire pint of ice cream. Finally, to be conscientious is to be good, to do things thoroughly, to be ruled by an inner moral code.Â
Hope this helped! Please add more if you think of them!
