Tell me a soft memory
It was a great, great moment when I discovered that asexual did not necessarily mean sex repulsed.
When I first came across the term asexual, years & years ago, the description I found promptly informed me that asexual people were absolutely repulsed by sex, in all forms, all the time. So, I promptly decided that I couldn’t be asexual.
See, I love sex. I absolutely love reading about it & writing about it & watching it & talking about it, I have a dirty sense of humor, & I have a libido too. What I don’t love is having sex. Simple as that. I don’t experience sexual attraction toward anyone & the actual reality of sex – the physical closeness, the fluids, kissing (oh my God, how I hate kissing!), etc. – makes me feel uncomfortable. Knowing that this is a perfectly common, or at least not unheard of, asexual experience would’ve spared me some deeply confusing & hurtful experiences.
So, in case anyone needs to see this today: Asexuality means a lack of sexual attraction. No more, no less. Asexual people generally do not feel sexually attracted to others. This does not mean that they cannot find others aesthetically pleasing or that they are necessarily repulsed by sex, either in theory or in practice.
Sex repulsion means an aversion to sex. Asexual people can be sex repulsed. But not all of them are.

hey guys i found the funniest non-looping gif
Ok so it seems like the bulk of minecraft technical skills can be sorted into five Big Categories, which can then be applied for worldbuilding purposes:
Survivalism: this is stuff like knowing how to find and get resources, how to craft items, what all the mobs are and how to fight them, etc. Just a good working knowledge of the core mechanics of survival minecraft, including basic resource farms. The extreme of this is hardcore players like Philza.
Building: if you can design and build a beautiful base without following a step-by-step tutorial, this one is for you. This is also where most major endurance projects go, like draining a monument, terraforming a mountain, etc. This is Grian, along with many other hermits.
Redstone: basically binary coding, scaled up to however high your expertise can take you. Minecraft is turing complete, which makes redstoning a complete skill in itself. IMO most automated farms go here as well even if they use minimal redstone, along with structures like world eaters and lag machines because they rely so heavily on technical mechanics. Think MumboJumbo.
PvP: the ability to fight and win against other players, rather than just against mobs. Includes physical skills like good aim and high click speed. Also includes understanding the fine details of specialized battle mechanics like armor, shields, potions, healing items, and end crystals. Technoblade is a good example of this.
Movement: the ability to get from one place to another quickly, using whatever means possible. Includes parkour, elytra use, water bucket clutches, speedbridging, etc. I would also argue it includes speedrunning techniques like making nether portals with a bucket and triangulating end fortresses. Dream is this.
Anyway, if we're layering the usual minecraft low fantasy/cold war military/dystopian aesthetic over this, these categories could translate to professions and lifestyles such as:
Survivalism -> terrain guides/explorers, artisans, farmers, naturalists, homesteaders. People who contribute to their community's ability to be self sufficient, likely drawn to small settlements or solitary nomadic lifestyles.
Building -> architects, landscapers, infrastructure designers, construction workers. Probably involved in largescale projects with varying degrees of authority, most likely found working in a major city or for a wealthy patron.
Redstone -> research scientists, engineers of various subspecialties, mechanics, industry specialists. Might work alone but more likely on teams within larger operations. May or may not have scruples about how their work gets used.
PvP -> soldiers, mercenaries, gladiators, bodyguards, strategists. Societal role will depend on career path, ranging from captive in a fighting arena to high-ranking general. Relationships with others will vary accordingly.
Movement -> scouts, messengers/couriers, assassins, spies, bounty hunters. Very likely to operate alone or on small teams because other people tend to slow them down. Has potential to overlap heavily with PvP or survival lifestyles.

Wings Part 1 [Standard ]| Wings Part 2 [Atypical] | Feather Markings | Tail Feathers [Part 1] | Tail Feathers [Part2]
I have expanded the traditional 4 types; Highspeed, Elliptical, Low Aspect and High Aspect ratio, because they were very narrow and vague categories for the most part, adding High Energy, Thermal Soaring, Night Glider, and Passerine wings. I feel that these extra types make it easier to understand and visualize the differences and similarities between wing shapes.
I’ve renamed Low Aspect to Powered Soaring, and High Aspect to Dynamic Soaring for the purposes of the fact that names made it hard to understand purpose and were easily confusable.
A lot of these wing types are also affected by tailfeather shape and size, and that will change their agility and energy expenditure as the tail also generates lift.
