Welcome! My preferred pronouns are she/her, I'm asexual and demiromantic. I don’t tag much but I will tag something if you ask me to :)
Check the about for more information
Also, I'm sex repulsed so if you are a nsfw blog please check the about before following.
I wanted to try making a quesadilla so I googled to check for advice on how to make sure it worked out well. Turns out someone on reddit asked the same question, and now I’m going to make and eat a baby.
“the parallels between Zuko and Sokka-” hey HEY. I am grabbing you. The parallels between Katara and Azula. Both the younger, gifted bender. Each one being the inverse of the other: a living, breathing what if. Katara being horrified at what her bending can do when pushed to its limits vs Azula always trying to push hers further. Katara instinctively trusting everyone so easily, even though it burns her sometimes, and Azula saying trust is for fools, fear is the only reliable way but still losing everyone she cares about in the end. Katara yelling at her dad and being hugged in return vs Azula doing everything possible to please her father still being harshly reprimanded, so you know exactly why they both turned out the way that they did. Katara’s trauma being connected to losing a mother vs Azula’s being connected to having a mother. Katara ultimately being the one to take down Azula and standing over her, staring pitifully because that’s who she could have been, in another life. is this thing on
if a girl tried to sacrifice me to the old gods that would be totally fine and I would submit but if a guy did that I would fight back a little
unless he was really hot I guess (the god or the guy)
in which case it is appropriate to fight back for homoerotic reasons
Not me, I’m a pacifist. I just make sad pathetic little noises while he strikes me and look up at him with my honest big brown eyes. He knows he killed a good man and it punishes him more than any physical harm I could do to him.
ohhhh if you hit him with that 🥺 hard enough he’ll never land the killing blow
I’m so patheticcore. I’m such a poor little meow meow.
any decent man would take u in and nurse u back to health under the patronage of the old gods he once foolishly believed he could bring himself to sacrifice u to
(he doesn’t know I am loved by all of the gods and by showing me clemency he saved himself from all manner of ills and perils)
I do think that the “sex repulsion as dysphoria about being culturally assigned a sexual identity or role that is incongruent with how you see yourself” framework can apply to a lot of other queer experiences besides just my particular brand of asexuality + total sex repulsion, by the way. A gay man who is repulsed by the idea of sex with women is experiencing sex repulsion, even if he doesnt experience it with men. A trans person who is repulsed by the idea of sex pre-transition is experiencing sex repulsion even if they don’t experience it after transitioning to their desired comfort level. I think this framework offers a lot of potential for solidarity across queer experiences, without forcing either fully sex-repulsed people or anyone else in the community to compromise on their comfort or boundaries.
Once you start looking at sex repulsion this way, you understand that it’s inherently a queer experience, not the conservative puritan bogeyman everyone here seems to think it is. There’s not just part of the community that doesn’t like sex, and then everyone else who does — there is a whole community of people who can’t or don’t want to fit in the “one cisgender man and one cisgender woman in a sexual/romantic marriage with children” box, and whose boundaries lie somewhere outside it. No one here has to be anyone’s competition. We just need to build a world that’s expansive enough that we can all fit.
the original got flagged with no way to appeal it when every contributor is deactivated but I will never let this post die. it’s monday and we are getting on it cunts
