    IN OTHER NEWS, I'M GETTING A TATTOO, AND MAYBE TAKING A TRIP TO THE SEA IF THE WEATHER IS NICE SO HAPPY
  4. I'm not out at work at all, but after situations like this, I do consider it. (Anyway, its a minimum wage job, we get all sorts of people, and I do have to put up with some casual racist/sexist/homophobic micro aggressions every day, so I decided not to risk it.) But being closeted can be fun sometimes, you get to play undercover agent, and witness stuff like this. So, lunch break, and my coworker S. sits down next to me. She is nice, but we talked like twice, and she does not know me at all. But that does not stop her, there is quite a bit of random TMI. So. We start to chat about life in general, and you know how it is with straight people, if they are in a relationship, the whole world has to know every detail. But seriously, its some sort of compulsion, people just have to know. I don't mind, whatever. So I get this description, her better half is a average straight boy, plain as they can be, personality of a stick. She is happy, so good for her. But then she starts to go on and on about how she sill has the butterflies in her stomach. Sounds like some weird tropical parasite, but okay, whatever floats your boat. Then she says she does not want to meet her boyfriend too often, because they are dating for three months now, and she wants to have the butterflies as long as she can. At this point I was fully prepared to be introduced to something like that parasite thing from the Crimson Horror episode on Doctor Who Well, that is kinda creepy, and also gross. We are having lunch after all. At least I was trying to. I don't really have anything to contribute, as I never had the butterflies. Not that I want to have them. The closest first hand experience I had to that "I got some living things in my body" feeling is when we had a head lice scare in nursery... I did not have any, but you know, when people talk about that kind of stuff, you just get itchy. That probably would not be an appropriate thing to contribute, so I eat my lunch internally screaming like I I guess this is a normal thing for her, so I nod politely. And after a while, I realized that she stopped talking and she gives me a look. Oh, shoot, that's it. She probably expecting me to tell her about my nonexistent true love. By this time I was panicking, so I said the first question that came to my mind. "What are you on?" That. I managed to come up with that response. I did not intend to be mean, but that was my fist response. Because... this just can't be real. Like people who get emotionally attached to imaginary parasites are on something. I'm a open minded person, but around 3 in the afternoon this is a bit wild. Well, I'm happy to tell you, its not some weird fear-and-loathing-in-las-vegas horse tranquilizer kinda stuff. She started to talk about birth control. Without batting an eye. I don't think she noticed. On days like this, I'm so glad that I'm on the aro spectrum. Like how? Why is this considered normal? You gotta be kidding me.
  5. YMBAI when somebody tries to explain the concept of "friendzone" to you, and you just don't understand what is their problem with that. It sounds amazing. It sounds idyllic, like something you always genuinely wanted. YMBAI romantic relationships seem like a temporary thing, and you don't get it how grown adults believe that they gonna last ⁓forever⁓.

    MEH, ALLOS CAN KEEP HIM. YEAH, GIVE US SOMEONE WHO ISN'T AN INFANTILE WEIRDO STEREOTYPE. USING SOMEONE'S IDENTITY AS A SOURCE FOR HUMOUR IS JUST SO LOW. SO IS RIDICULING PEOPLE FOR BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT ISN'T SEX, DATING OR MONEY. LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THOSE THINGS, BUT HAVING TO CHOOSE FROM ONLY THEM IS A BIT LIMITING SOUNDS GOOD, I'M IN. NOW I WANNA MAKE NUTELLA ICE CREAM PANCAKE CAKE THO WITH THIN LAYERS OF PANCAKE, ICE CREAM AND NUTELLA AND THE WHOLE THING FROZEN

    WHAT'S SHOCKING IS THAT THIS MOVIE GOT SEVERAL NOMINATIONS AND WINS AND NOBODY BLINKED AN EYE. PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE POINTLESS VIOLENCE BUT NOT THE REPRESENTATION. ARO / ACE PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY WATCH IT, AND THE ALLO PEOPLE WHO DID, PROBABLY DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER HOW HARMFUL THIS IS.

    NO IT ABOUT A FEMALE PROTAGONIST WHO STRUGGLES TO CONTROL HER SEXUALITY (LATER ON ITS MORE LIKE AN ADDICTION), AND HOW THAT SLOWLY RUINS HER LIFE. AS A YOUNG GIRL SHE ALSO JOINS THIS ROMANCE ABSTINENCE CLUB THING, BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY ISN'T ACE. LATER ON SHE DOES FALL IN LOVE, SO I WOULD NOT CONSIDER HER ARO. AND SHE IS LIKE A BI/PANSEXUAL WITH STRONG PREFERENCE FOR MEN. SO THE WHOLE MOVIES STARTS WITH THIS GUY FINDING HER ON THE STREETS AFTER SHE WAS BADLY BEATEN UP. SHE REFUSES TO GO TO A HOSPITAL, SO HE TAKES HER IN BECAUSE SHE IS IN BECAUSE SHE CAN'T REALLY WALK ON HER OWN AT THE MOMENT. LATER ON THAT NIGHT THEY START TO TALK, HE COMES OUT AS ACE (IT IS A LONG SCENE). THE STORY IS NARRATED BY HER, AS SHE TELLS HER LIFE STORY TO THE GUY AND HE TRIES TO UNDERSTAND HER. SPOILER: IN THE END OF THE MOVIE HE TRIES TO RAPE HER AND SHE SHOTS HIM DEAD. I WAS SITTING THERE LIKE WHAT? I HAVE SEEN SOME MOVIES THAT DEMONIZE MINORITIES, BUT THIS WAS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
  9. Yes, the same thing goes for the Timelords in Doctor Who.

    I WOULD USE THE TERM TORTURE PORN, ITS ABOUT 10 TIMES MORE GRIMDARK AND VIOLENT THAN G.O.T. THE ENTIRE PLOT IS UP ON WIKIPEDIA, BUT THAT IS ALSO QUITE GRAPHIC.

    I HAVE JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE W/ THE WORST MINORITY REPRESENTATION EVER, AND I HAD MY SHARE OF DEAD QUEERS. NOW, CHANCES ARE MOST PEOPLE (LUCKY THEM) DID NOT SEE THIS FILM, 'COS ITS MOSTLY ABOUT SEXUALITY.

    YES AND OH BOY, LARS YOU TOTALLY OWE EVERY ACE / ARO AN APOLOGY FOR THIS. THAT WAS JUST VILE.

    WHAT DID ARO AND/OR ACE PEOPLE EVEN DO TO LARS VON TRIER?
  14. He hasn't said the term ace, because its a sci fi, and he wasn't raised on Earth but he describes/prompts it. He says he isn't interested in sex, and finds it like low key gross.
  15. Really right colours...but it would kill me. I hope nothing ever happens to my sight, WYR eat a strange but appetizing looking dish with unknown ingredients, or food that you know well, but its kinda gross?
  16. Exactly. It was not romantic in the books. But you can feel the healing, and its realistic. In the movie, there is this cheesy lighting, like its some Kitschy Countryside Life photo shoot for some perfume advert and as far as I remember, she narrates it as well. Its just out of place. There is no arch, just bamm, there you go, they live the happy settled life?
