RAGHHH I HATW GAY PEOPLE,,,

Does anybody else think about the fact that Yuu doesn’t really ask adults (cough Crowley) for help after Book 4? Especially since they were given a phone and told they could call for help, and it did *nothing*?

I feel like that’s a trauma in and of itself. Boy does that child need therapy.

wow I drew something !!

there's this vintage clothing pattern ive been obsessed with for years, so i figured itd be fun to draw some of my favorite characters with it :)

Wait evil poll first

i always thought romantic love was the plague and i was a plague doctor.

so here's an aro-colored plague doctor

me oversharing beneath the cut about how amatonormativity has screwed me up in ways I have never been screwed up before.

(rant beneath the cut is full of negativity, triggering, but perhaps relatable. idk. read at your own risk)

okay so let's have a mini story telling time about how romance plagued every aspect of my life until now.

My bestfriend in high school treated me of less value after she gets her boyfriend. This experience was what drove me into drawing plague doctors during valentines. These doodles were captioned with "Plague is in the air", because my friends in my circle told me to not hang out with her on that day because it's valentines day. So cool, I thought I should avoid them like they were the plague.

For the first half of college, I've been a wingman for way too many of my friends for my only female and best friend.

It has gotten to a point where the meaning of my companionship with my male friends had become solely for providing a connection to a girl they want to date.

In the long run, my bestfriend, who my 'friends' were pining for, actually has been pining for me. She asked if we could be a thing, I said yes because I thought that, romance isn't probably as disgusting as I think of it.

To protect tradition and to protect the feelings of the men she rejected (who I also wingmanned), we kept it hidden.

For the entire time, she emphasized how I was dense and oblivious about romance. For the entire time I was confused, disoriented, and even repulsed. I didn't know how to reciprocate and I certainly did not have THOSE feelings either at all.

Of course it didn't end well.

After that failed attempt at romance, I have been involved in three more encounters after that. Men suddenly started talking to me out of nowhere. Initially, I thought that they were just trying to make new friends. I didn't realize they were hitting on me but when I did, I cold-shouldered them out of my life.

The last one was the most traumatic. I have explicitly stated that he shouldn't attempt to romance me because I've admitted that I'm way too tired of dealing with it, but he was stubborn. He has also gone as far as sexualizing me against my will.

So yeah.

Amatonormativity made me lose faith in the meaning of my friendships.

It made me realize how friendship is easily overshadowed by romantic relationships.

It made me worry that my kindness is misread as a romantic gesture.

It made me constantly hate how friendship is only seen as a stepping stone for a romantic relationship.

And because amatonormativity has rendered all my significant connections meaningless, I'll spend every second of my life hating amatonormativity. I will always be repulsed at the concept that destroyed every goddamned friendship that I had. Nothing has ever made me feel THS sick. I will always think of it as the plague.

Yeah ig it kinda sucks how as an aroace person I'll never fall in love but also, that means I'll never experience the hurt of love so I think it's a pretty fair trade slsksk

Borgund Stave Church, Borgund, Norway

Because wood is far less suited to the tests of time than stone, there aren’t many ancient wooden churches left standing today. That’s partly what makes the Borgund Stave Church in Norway so special. Looking like it belongs in Frozen, this stunning medieval wooden church was built in 1250 and is one of the best preserved churches of its type in Europe. While it may not seem as elaborate up close as some stone churches, there are four dragon heads carved into the gables of the roof and carvings around archways inside. All of it gives the Borgund Stave Church a design of undeniable beauty. (Source- roadaffair.com)

My friend @kriskross and i were discussing redesigns a few months back

Below are notes for the design changes!

Hello hi here’s my Trigger Happy Havoc redesigns

i seriously can’t say how much joy your comics and your art style brings me!! it’s seriously amazing to look at each new comic or piece you make!! (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ) from one lilia lover to another, i give u this (holds out the lilia doll) (disappears into a thousand bats)

aww! thank you! ❤️ I feel like someone else would also appreciate a Lilia doll...

My art VS. My muse :) 𓆩♡𓆪

*rolls around in my texture brushes like a cat with catnip*

Anyway I wanted to do a painting of Lilia being creepy, although he ended up more menacing I think. Hard to say, I'm still lost in the crunchy textures sauce.

AUREA is raising $3,500 to become the first aro-spec specific non-profit!

You can donate, find our budget breakdown, and learn more about what becoming a non-profit would mean for us here!

[Image Description: A square graphic with two green text boxes at the top and bottom. The top text reads, “Help AUREA become a registered non-profit!”. The bottom text reads, “Let’s make aromantic resources and research more sustainable!”. To the right of the bottom text is the AUREA logo. In the middle of the text boxes is a digital illustration of a white clipboard. On the clipboard is a pie chart cut into four pieces.]
