(The old man yaoi is forced tho/silly)

Science Party Slumber

My first ask, nice! I was gonna draw Red Oktoberfest, but remembered these two spent what they thought were their final days together doing experiments. I'll probably draw pyro maskless next time! I have to be honest, I don't really ship anyone 'cause I'm selfish and I want them all for my own and I'm a bit delulu. But the dynamics between the characters are just so MMMMMMMM so damn good. Please Valve just let me see them being friends, I want to see how they act off the field Im desperate. Also sorry about this not being the highest of quality

More of them

Science has established that humans are social creatures, but the way society tries to dictate how we interact with people is kinda fucked up. I don’t need a lover to be social. I don’t need a sexual partner to be social. Some people don’t need friends to be social.

Sure, humans might have evolved to desire connection with people, but it’s nobody’s right or business to try and tell us how we connect with them. Also biology is funky and broad and not always precise. Scientists are learning new things and disproving things all the time.

So, yeah. Biology is weird, fuck amatonomativity, and you determine how you want to be social.

YIPPE

me resisting the aromantic urge to say “thats cringe” every time someone mentions being in a relationship (i am also in a relationship)

Okay google how to finish fics you've started writing?

He was deep into the work, so he didn’t notice the door of his workshop opening, nor he heard measured steps that came closer. But, he felt the presence of another person at the moment any noise has stopped. Engineer looked up at the clock. It was 1:24 am. It's not an unusual time for him to be awake and the person behind him also knows it. That’s probably why he still doesn’t hear anything against it, Engie only feels it, this dislike for his schedule. Quietly Hardhat mumbled about hypocrisy. Usually, he would have been convinced to let go of work already, but the urgency of the things is insane - they both know it.

- You know I need to finish this, doc

The silence has been enough of an answer. Engineer has already prepared himself for a possible argument. But it still wasn't there. He continued working, seeking for any sign of malfunction — he spent hours on this and still ended up empty-handed. Soon after, Medic took another chair from nearby and sat on it, their knees touching. Then there was a sign, the first thing he actually heard this night from a man. Engineer felt crippling tiredness in that voice.

- Well, at least I can help.

Medic actually couldn’t, another thing they both knew perfectly. But Engineer ignored it and let him stay anyway. Even if he knew that was probably not a good thing for doc to stay awake. Medic was stubborn, when wanted. And after all, just a quiet presence of this man was enough to feel lighter. Though, he knew this calm silence would not last long and soon Medic would start rambling about everything he’d done today and Engineer would be calm enough to listen just like he always does. Soon Dell would get more relaxed and start telling what he was doing, and then listen Ludwig giving honest opinion on it. But it will happen later. Right now, all that is important is a calm night, respawn upgrade that needs to be done by the morning and quiet existing of the man, whose presence was as chaotic, as calming when needed.

I forgot I had these

Engie having an existential crisis - another little illustration related to the fic I wrote recently bc I can see it very vividly in mind's eye

Realising that I am an aromantic was actually so freeing. Like yeah, at the beginning I've had not the best start with figuring out how to escape relationships I have been in, but damn I'll ever change the way things are going right now.

My whole life I was surrounded with weird for me expectations: to find a partner and have this life full of romance, find someone that will be my "second half", have this romantical moments with this person, have dates and etc. I was hearing from almost everywhere how important this "Love" is and that I should have the same. Because "that's the most fulfilling thing in life". And so I pretended. Pretended that I actually feel this. And damn I was so good at this, that at some point I convinced MYSELF, that I feel it. Realising that romance wasn't for me and that I'm not suited for it anyhow was so... Relaxing? I finally don't need to look through everyone I see in hopes something will "drag" me to them, I don't need to have this awkward "Is this what couples do, isn't it?" thought living constantly in my mind because of trying TO CONVINCE myself I love someone. There's no thinking about "Do I love my friend?" after every social interaction because I obviously DON'T. And of course, I'm not thinking that I'm broken or damaged because well... I'm not.

Realising that I'm aro was one of the most important and fantastic things in my life. I still have to deal with pressure because of the society I live in but... that's not as painful as it was. Because I know who I am and that it'll probably stay like this for the rest of my life. And that I don't need to run after the concepts that I don't need and don't understand. Yes, I can find them entertaining in media for sure but... There's no pressure from myself that tells me to try to fit in for the simple reason: "Everyone has it, you should too".

A Life with Less Societal Expectations

Lacking something sometimes feel so alienating.

Aside from asexuality and aromanticism that can exclude you from romantic and sexual experiences, aplatonicness is also something hard to take. It excludes you from so many things life has to offer.

Aroace people who are also aplatonic, aspec peple who struggle to make friends, aspec people who are outcasts, aspec people who are loners, aspec people who have a past negative experience with friendships, aspec people who are introverted, aspec people who are not comfortable with social interactions, aspec people who were bullied, aspec people who were the last choice in a friend group, aspec people who don't have a stable social circle, aspec people who only have two or three friends they can truly trust, aspec people who have social anxiety, aspec people who are always misunderstood, aspec people who have an "unfriendly" appearance, intimidating aspecs, aspec people who try to fit in so hard but it always feel fruitless, aplatonic people who are happy, aspec people who have no choice but to be by themselves, aspec people with avoidant attachment style, aspec people who love the friends they have but don't know how to show it.

It can never feel the same.

But does it have to?

The successful and happy life seems to be so linear. Graduate, get a high-paying job, be financially secure, find a partner, get married, have children, have sex. Build friendships. It's tiring having to stress out when it's ever gonna happen in this life.

Being aro and ace can already exclude you from at least two experiences. Does being a socially-anxious have to exclude you from making meaningful friendships too?

At this point, it won't even matter anymore. A life with less societal expectations is good too. At least, by carrying those labels around, there is a concrete reason for not engaging in a certain activity for the experience.

Additionally, building a life where we don't have to feel like we're missing out on what is socially expected - dating, getting married, having children, having sex, friendships - doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Lacking something doesn't need to be so alienating. If you extricate yourself from the feeling that makes you uncomfortable in the first place - not having a certain relationship - and replace it with something good, like focusing on your career and volunteering, it feels much more fulfilling.

Accept the void.

On the one hand, I have ethical qualms about outing people before they're ready.

On the other hand, the policies they're pushing are literally going to get many of us killed. So I'm kinda leaning towards "fuck those backstabbing assholes."

neil, do you think humanity will ever run out of original stories to tell? that one day there will be no more new books or movies, because every single plot has been wrote or filmed?

I think we ran out of original stories 100,000 years ago telling tales around our fires. But that's okay. We tell the old stories new, and there's always an audience on the way who have never heard them before.

YOUUUUUUUU—

Here you go, @hydrogenperson!

Your idea about Medic getting bridal carried by Engineer is super cute tbh

Okay, I've seen some content with Engineer getting bridal carried by Medic

But what if:

It's Medic getting bridal carried by Engie?

Just imagine — Medic, being tired as fuck after tiring day, as per usual and Engineer, that never minds carrying his partner to bed after seeing this idiot fall asleep on papers again? And Ludwig, that at some point feels being kissed in the forehead while being carried, but not opening his eyes, because he _trusts_ Dell?

Just think about it a bit. Let it settle in mind.

There's some comfort in little things. Yes, they're mostly go unnoticed. Yes, people can easily ignore them. But, if they're being noticed, they can change the turn in the relationships. That's their magic. Magic of lowering down pills and any other possibly important things in your space for a person, that couldn't reach them. Magic of fixing a shelf so someone's birds wouldn't accidentally fall down. Sometimes it's unseen, but if you stop for a second you'll see it: the cup of coffee on a working table, brewed just the way you like it, or a solved calculation you spent hours figuring out without any progress. It's small. It's basic. And sometimes that's enough. Enough for your love for this person to burn brighter. Enough for you to do bigger things in return. Bigger things like silently overhealing you in a battle without questions asked or setting up a dispenser in your usual hiding spot. And just like an avalanche, you start make even larger things in return. And that'll continue till the end of the day when you'll stand and just knowingly look at each other, wordlessly saying "thank you".
