"why are you so loud about aromanticism and asexuality?" idk, maybe because for a long time I thought I was weird and something was wrong with me just because I did not experience the same things and feelings my fellow classmates and friends did & I wasn't that interested in dating and everyone looked at me as if I was a different species. I'm loud about being aromantic and/or asexual so young kids can now that it is OKAY to not feel attraction the same way others do and it is also OKAY to not want romance or sex or want them however you feel most comfortable with... just the romance or just the sex or neither. Being aro and/or ace is beautiful and valid 💚💜

professor smiley mcfrienderson, plays music, tries to befriend students, is always in a peppy mood: oh you’re dying? sorry i don’t accept late work :) make sure you write this five page paper! i’m gonna throw a dart at a board to decide whether or not i’ll actually take it for a grade and if i do it’s worth 10% of your total grade and if i don’t you should do it anyway as busywork because learning is fun! :D
professor stone face, who scares you to death on syllabus day and has clearly seen some sort of horrors: yeah you can skip class if you want idc you know what works best for you. btw you can get ten bonus points for taking a funny selfie with me renewable once per week. wanna hear my life story

Remember not to praise Disney itself for diversity and inclusion in new Baymax show. You should be thanking animators and directors for pushing this idea which Disney was probably 100% opposed to in the first place. Remember leaked emails written to Alex Hirsh? Don't get fooled.
