    I love the rpg all the related  stories here, it seems they are on the one hand wierd and uncomfortable but on the other can be an amazing way to explore your aro identity without being confronted in real life.

    Anyway here's a little story I had from a while back.

    Me and a few friends were playing a game called 'everyone is John'. basically everyone takes control of part of John's brain and tries to get him to complete tasks ranging from simple to impossible without John becoming bored or being knocked out. (although in our version John is a robot and we are parts of his faulty programming). 

    One of the features is that each player chooses a skill for John which activates when they are in control. So your aspect of John could have x-ray vision, say or have some form of mind control. Or in my case, have incredible sex appeal and try to solve every problem by dropping his trousers infront of crowds of people. (then they would turn a blind eye to me stealing a parachute, or throwing a cat at the pope*).

    This went fine until the GM made one of the NPCs react by asking to take things slower and go for a meal. I instantly thought this would cause failure by boredom and ran naked out of a petshop. Looking back before the game we had spent a while talking about a cat cafe that had opened recently and I suspect this was the GM being clever and helping me find a convenient kitty without making the game too easy. But my aro-brain had, despite not knowing the word aro yet, decided that a romantic meal was a plot to make me pass out from boredom.

     

    *for context, not that you want any. My impossible goal was to appoint a cat as pope. So my plan was to fling a cat at the pope, then convince the college of cardinals that there was an ancient rule that the title of pope could be claimed using trial by combat, and that the cat won fair and square, hence pope kitty the 1st. Yes this is a very stupid game.

    Ah, Everyone is John is fun!

    My friend group is unhappy with how the original misrepresents DID, so we decided we're going to run it as demons vying for possession of John. Your version is cool too!

    We also played a game where someone's goal was to get John to become pope.

    Same! I wanted to share in th "aromantic songs" topic so I look closer to the lyrics, and I was disappointed.

    The fact that I'm not a native English speaker, and that I have difficulty with oral comprehension, doesn't help me at all.

     

    I also interpret romantic love songs as platonic love songs. I know they are not, but really I enjoy reading it this way.

    I like to see how far along in a song that is romantic-coded I can pretend it can be about a relatively normative friendship.

    It...uh...sounds like you're romanticizing/cutesifying gay relationships

    Actually, you know, you and your community are fetishizing mlm relationships. Mlm are tired of being treated this way by mostly teenage girls and ready for y'all to knock it off. I can find some quotes breaking this down into better detail if you want, but I had to get it out

    shipshipship gay shiiiippppppp

    I (gay) ship A LOT in fandoms but I don't like (hetero) couples in real life. Unless it's gay. Then all of the girls in my gym class ship it.

     

    I love triangles too

    Also I recently found a square with an x in a new fandom which is really cool

  5. Hi, everyone!

    I'm collecting video interviews from non-straight women and transgender and non-binary people on their relationships with their femininity.

    If anyone is alright with me interviewing them, please let me know! If you know anyone who might be alright with being interviewed, put them in contact with me!

    I'm going to be asking everyone questions like "how does wearing a dress make you feel?" and "do you like being described as feminine?" and I plan on asking questions specific to people's orientations and gender identities as well, such as "how do you respond when people say 'you don't look like a lesbian'?" or "as a trans-girl, do you feel obligated to wear make up to indicate to other people that you are a girl?" or "do people expect you to be available to men as a woman, even after you tell them you are aromantic?"

    I'm going to edit all the interviews I get into one cohesive film and then show it in a theater at my school for a suggested donation of about a dollar. I'm going to donate all proceeds to the Urgent Action Fund for Women's Rights, an organization that grants money to activists for women's rights and LGBT+ rights, especially their intersection.

    I need to have this finished by March of 2019.

    Thanks for your time!

  9. Harry Potter house: Slytherin

    Divergent Faction: Uhh...that's really hard...I believe that if humanity falls, it will be because of our selfishness, but I can't see myself living in Abnegation. I'm having a hard time choosing between Candor and Erudite, but I think I would go with Erudite because I value privacy.

    I took the official Percy Jackson quiz once, and I was told I was Grover instead of a demigod. I think that if I were the child of a demigod, I would be the child of Athena though.

     

    Also, I have a long-coming rant about Harry Potter houses that I might put here later.

    You can fall asleep whenever you like at the cost of being able to wake up when you like. No matter what you try, your body refuses to wake due to external forces. One day you sleep through your own funeral and wake in a box six feet under.

     

    I wish I didn't feel sick every morning.

    You don't feel sick every morning, but you are sick. You wake up, walk to the bathroom, calmly vomit and go on with your morning routine. Your teeth start to deteriorate from stomach acid exposure.

     

    I wish I were better at chemistry.

    One day shotinthehand is swimming in the ocean when a giant sea slug eats him.

     

    I wish it was easier to come up with wishes than corruptions.

    I go by she/her." :)

     

    it is easier to come up with wishes than corruptions, but you can't come up with corruptions any more and can't play the game any more

    Granted, however your dad will only have a knowledge (albeit extremely on point) about the Psychrolutes marcidus, also known as the Blobfish

     

    I wish I could dance

    You can dance, but you can't really control when you stop dancing. Sometimes you spontaneously start dancing even when you don't want to, like at funerals or in the middle of speeches.

     

    I wish I could fall asleep when ever I wanted to.

    I wish @shotinthehand had left me a wish to corrupt as well. 

     

    Preferably one with sea slugs. I like sea slugs.

    Agh! I'm sorry! I was so pleased with how creepy my corruption of a wish turned out I just hit post!

    I wish I had the power to manifest and control sea slugs wherever and whenever I wanted to.

    I wish I wasn't so morbid.

    You're no longer morbid, but you lose all memories of people who die. As time passes, there are more and more holes in your memory. Towards the end of the life, you have next to no memories of people who care about you.

    I find him the most likeable, probably because he's a weasel (I like weasels) with the voice of Simon Pegg (I like Simon Pegg).

     

    Though I'm also a fan of Scrat because he reminds me of all the Tex Avery cartoons I used to watch as a kid.

    I find him the most likable because he has been through some shit and so can be salty but he's never mean like Manny is.

    The Scrat shorts make me sad.

    I think this on a T-shirt, like @shotinthehand's profile picture..

    The Umbrella could even be in the Aromantic flag colours :D

    Haha! I love my profile picture. My friend Aidan pulled it up on his camera roll once and I told him he needed to send it to me immediately so I could set my Arocalypse profile photo to it.

    I drew these during the Inktober challenge. For those who don't know, that's an art challenge that uses ink as the medium. I did a small sketch a week under the theme "hunted". I could go in this direction for one shirt, and in a more "tame" direction (f.exp. Papos or the Koi) for another =)

    WARNING for mild gore and my cat!
