Judging by my dash, aromantics are morning people and asexuals are evening people.
Very scientific.
The question is, what about aroaces? Do they just never sleep?
Never. Aroaces don’t need sleep. They are the past, present, and future. There is none of this “morning” or “evening”. There is only Aroaces. And pizza.
hey if you identify as a woman and you don’t shave your legs everyday and let your stubble grow free and natural for long periods of time could you reblog or like this post, I’m trying to make a point here, cause apparently I’m a weirdo for not shaving for weeks or months at a time
I wish I could more clearly explain to folks how “I have always been a girl” and “I didn’t figure out I was a girl until later in childhood” can be simultaneously true.
‘Cause like. We have this weird idea that, like, either you’ve “always known”, or you never really were to begin with. And I don’t get how one follows from the other? Like, it’s possible to be something without knowing you are that thing; in fact, for trans folks in this culture, it’s practically unavoidable.
A friend of mine once described it as “No I didn’t ‘always know’, but when I realized it I looked back and went ‘SUDDENLY EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE’ ”
This is literally it okay. Looking back and realizing that shit, wait, these aren’t new feelings. I’ve been feeling this for as long as I can remember. Now I just know WHY.
Fanfiction authors are people who write as a hobby. They’re not paid, they do it on their own time, and they do it for fun. Some authors use fanfiction as a way to improve their writing, but unless they ask for critiquing comments, don’t be that person – even if you have good intentions. You don’t see the damage that you do, but damage is done.
The best way to encourage fanfiction authors to keep doing what they’re doing is to let them know what you liked about their work. I’ve seen too many fic authors get discouraged in their writing because of people who leave less than favorable comments on their work. Leave the critical comments for people who get paid to write.
Again, I’m not asking you to lie to spare the authors feelings, I’m asking you to just refrain from leaving a negative comment.
Critique is essential when it comes to improving your writing. It’s something every writer should engage in. But the key to critique? It has to be solicited. It also needs to come from someone who knows how to critique. 90% of fic readers don’t. And if they do, they already know not to send unsolicited critique. Great post, OP.
