Hot Take: Peridot Purrs

Some fun Earl sketches/doodles for @somelazyassartist, because seeing them reblog nearly every single one of my Earl posts today reminded me that it’s been far too long since I last drew my beloved transgender son.

Reblog this if you think that asexual, aromantic, agender, or any type of aspec folks should have more important roles as main characters

If you have any good ideas on what type of aspec main characters you can think of, share your ideas

REAL. Fuck Amatonormativity. I think it's more fucked up that some of y'all are too obsessed with finding romantic conjugal love that you dehumanize people for the sake of your own "delusion". Touch grass. Be a better friend. Try to have a genuine heart. Partnership isn't "Everything".

#656.5 - Froakie live near bodies of water, remaining close to the water’s edge while young and venturing further away as they age. Beneath their happy-go-lucky attitue, they keep a watchful eye on their surroundings for predators. If they are attacked, flexible bubbles secreted from their back and chest help to reduce any damage they take. As Froakie mature, they are emboldened by a newfound speed and swiftness. Their protective bubbles - dubbed frubbles - can also be used to attack; older Froakie often practice throwing bubble-covered stones, gaining precise control over time.

#657.5 - Frogadier are skilled marksmen, never missing a target when throwing bubbles - and eventually - when throwing water compressed into sharp-edged throwing stars. Their swiftness only increases with age; a fully mature Frogadier will appear and vanish with a ninja’s grace. As their skill increases, they no longer need their protective bubbles, and will only produce them in select areas of their body. As adults, Frogadier wear their long tongue around their next like a scarf, masking their face in an expression of their stoic nature. If necessary, they will use their ready tongue to attack.

Not my proudest gut reaction and I keep thinking about it because of all the levels of social f*cked-up-ness this whole moment implies

Any plans how to take over the world?

Can I get aroace Arctozolt please ?

I think I posted this already but since I don’t know when I did I’ll just go ahead and repost it here

Milo local grass gym leader justifying to himself his 30th Yamper adoption.

I mean its technically unfinished but its still more done than anything else ive been doin.

6041 I've actually been writing up my own submission on this exact topic, but this is such fortuitous timing that I might as well go ahead and submit it as a response.

Yeah, M/M shippers can be really obnoxious, but I am so fucking sick of seeing them being blamed for "See! This is why men are afraid to show affection to other men!" No, men are afraid to show affection to other men because of HOMOPHOBIA. You really think that a handful of fangirls who want Kirk and Spock to kiss have had more of an impact on how men fear their relationships with other men are going to be perceived than the uncountable instances IRL of people being beaten, punished, brutalized, murdered etc. over the mere suspicion of being gay?

Here's a fun fact: it's ALSO damn near impossible for men and women to be platonic friends with each other IRL without everyone and their mother assuming that they're dating, and most people who are in this position find it really exasperating to have to explain for the umpteenth time that "No, he really is like a brother to me, no we don't secretly have a crush on each other, no we are never going to date", but they don't fear for their lives about it. And guess what? Some of the most popular het ships I can think of are ALSO between characters who are canonically platonic friends, where it's stated multiple times by both the characters and the creators that they're not interested in each other that way, and whose shippers are ALSO really obnoxious about insisting that their interpretation is right and everybody else (including the actual writers) is wrong, and who constantly read romance into every single interaction no matter how mundane or negative… but I have yet to see anyone pointing fingers and blaming Zutarans for amatonormativity or for the fact that no one seems to believe men and women can be friends without secretly wanting to bang.

So is it just me, or does pointing the finger at M/M shippers and screaming that "YOU are the reason that men are afraid to show affection to other men!" feel like nothing more than yet another poorly disguised attempt to punish women and girls for daring to like something?

Solo Travel: Quiet Time.

Even if you live alone, you probably don’t necessarily get lots of quality alone-time. There’ll be work, social feeds, friends, coworkers, and maybe even nearby family. There’ll be daily routines, podcasts, and the head-filling patterns of every day.

When you’re away somewhere—anywhere—the patterns break. Lunch is whenever, bedtime is whenever, you can turn off notifications and use the excuse that roaming charges are awful. You can tune out and have quiet time and be with yourself, and be yourself.

You can even have that quiet time in the noisiest of places—like a crowded festival city—because none of the noise matters. You won’t be monitoring for familiar voices, local rumours, local bullies, local anything. The noise will be chatter; a texture.

Aspec applications: Aspec travellers can have a little more to tune out than others. If you’re somewhere “vacationy” you’ll probably feel like you’re surrounded by allonormativity and amatonormativity, BUT it’s not impossible to tune out.

Those couples and throuples and families aren’t there to think about you, they’re there to worry about each other (and argue about menus and stress over a hundred other things). If anything, they’re probably a little jealous of how you have the freedom to really just be there. Give off your best “being there” vibe, and thrive on that until your concerns fade away and you can just enjoy being yourself again.
