Cassiopeia

Yes. And the puns.

@Kojote I think I fixed it...does it work?

Well, it is an important symbol, but its not meant to be used lightly. Its there to remind both queer and straight people of our history and as a tribute to those who died, who were locked up, who were tortured because of who they were. It is the symbol of "let us live with dignity or we will show you how antisocial we can be". It is the symbol of "stop murdering us". Unfortunately all of that is still a relevant message... Yes, as I wrote, there are two lesbian flags. One with the pink gradients, and one with the purple background, the black triangle and the labrys. Not really, for aces is great because of the play with the words. If you really want, we could use tarot cards? But I don't see it necessary to copy the ace symbolism

Uhm, lets not reduce sexuality to genitalia. There is a lot more to it than phalluses... if the people involved have one at all. Lets see, arrow: for aromantic ice cream: also for aro labrys: a lesbian/feminist symbol, especially nice together with the arrow. lambda (λ): also one of the oldschool queer symbols. I like the philosophy behind it. (l for liberation, and also the connection with energy theory and wave lengths in physics and chemistry) black triangle: not one of the happy symbols, but a strong one. the lesbian flags: the pink one and the purple one. the lgbtq+/queer flag the aro flag edit: handshake: a handshake tattoo traditionally represents friendship, loyalty, honesty, siblinghood. (I want one)

Minorities are bullied, discriminated against, oppressed, targeted and brutally murdered as usual, but then there is revenge.

It does not. None of them do. Enjoy. I wish I could bend probability according to my will.

You do, effortlessly. And you get way to comfortable with your perfect score, and you forget how to study, and loose all motivation to succeed. Or never learn how to study in the first place. I wish I would see the possible paths of the future.

You could fly, but you will consider it a sport and end up being too lazy to actually do it. I wish I could concentrate on stuff that really matters and pursue my interests without having to worry about the material stuff.

I STOPPED USING IT FOR THAT REASON. I'D USUALLY GO WITH "PEOPLE" OR "FOLKS" ANYWAY, THE VIDEO GAMING SCENE CAN BE AWFULLY SEXIST SOMETIMES, THAT'S ALSO A REASON WHY I NEVER REALLY GOT INTO IT.

I have just started to rewatch it. There is no way she is not on the aro spectrum....

WELL I GUESS WE HAVE THAT ORIGINALITY NOW, AS THEY ARE SO BLOODY BLURRY ON THE PHONE... ANYWAY. YES PLEASE. ALL THE IDEAS. AND NOT TO ME, TO THE GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOLKS, SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM, DISCUSS THEM, AND TOGETHER WE CAN DECIDE WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED, WHAT WOULD PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE.

I KNOW••• THAT'S MY FAULT, I'M TRYING TO FIX IT. PIXEL ART IS HARD, AND SO IS TRYING TO MIMIC SOMEONE ELSE'S STYLE AND COLOURS WITHOUT THE PALETTES THEY USED• I'LL TRY TO TINKER WITH IT LATER ON, I WANTED TO MAKE SOME NEW ONES ANYWAY• iTS SARCASM AS WELL, WHEN THE AUTHOR PROMPTS THE READER TO QUESTION THE CONTENT•

AND I WILL USE THE BIG DOT TOO•••

I'M BACK TO THE SHOUTING THREAD. YESSS

I'm dyslexic so it's a pain in the back anyway. I'll listen to them... win/win A million dollars but you may only talk for one hour a day for a year.

I read fanfics, but I don't ship stuff like people would usually do. I don't have OTPs, everything is fine as long as the characters are realistic together, and there is enough connection in the canon or created in the fic. I like fluff, smut, pwp, depending on my mood, but I usually end up with the former two as fluff gets way more lovey dovey than sensual. I tend to interpret romantic content as deep friendship or if its heavily shippy, as bad writing. (It's not necessarily actually bad, but because the emotional part feels so alien, in my head it gets filed under 'exaggeration')... I'd go for fandoms that are either poly af like Sense8, or where the romance is kept very subtle like in Star Trek. I don't like reading about jealousy, s/D dynamics, cheating dramas, the out of the blue demonisation on exes (or the canon love interest) in order to solidify the main pair. Those are not just alien but also creepy. The fetishised grey romanticism is also a cringe worthy thing writers like to use to emphasise the intensity and importance of romantic feelings. (I have nothing against grey romantic people, I just don't like when it's implied that aros should be fixed and one will turn into a whole different person once Their True Love walks through the door. It's the same nonsense as when bi/pan people are suddenly 100% gay or 100% straight cos They Found Love. Dafaq?!) And then there are the damn soulmate AUs with the connecting red strings, count down tattoos, colour blindness, and the rest. I'm not sure if these were meant for lovesick teenagers or adult alloromantics like them as well. Anyway, not really my cup of tea, I never really understood it, its just eww or meh depending on how it's done. Yeah, it's a mine field. I quite often tend to look for the smut or poly themes. Half of the aromantic and QPR tag is written by alloromantic aces, so it usually gives me the exact opposite of what I'm looking for.

When people fetishize greyromanticism? You know the trope with the guy who has never been in love, was a heartless womanizer, did not care about romance, and the The Girl appears...and he starts seeing colours, his life is fixed, his personality changes...and doing so while throwing all arospecs under the bus. Anyway, its quite triggering for me, as it can lead to the deepest pits of self hate for aros. I stopped reading fanfics due to this phenomenon.

Nah. Bad hygiene is yuck. You get a million dollars, but you have to live in the poorest country in the world, you have to keep all of it in the local currency and you can only shop locally?
