  1. So currently reading Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (retelling of the story of trojan war) and Children of Ruin by Adrain Tchaikovsky (second book in the series sci-fi far flung future after interstellar human empire has fallen). 

    I also finished the Fantasy book Icebreaker by Glynn Stewart an author who I would highly recommend if you like Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Most books are Sci-Fi with fantasy elements but a few stand alone Fantasy book. City in the Sky is another standalone fantasy book which is great. May Sci-Fi series ranging from 3 books to 9 books with one other series about to have the 13 book release in Feb. My go to recommenced author for anyone really. 

    I've also been dipping into Fan Fiction from Star Trek Discovery, HSMTMTS, Percy Jackson and She-Ra Princess of power so message me if you want reccomendations in any of them.

    Damn, how does this keep happening

    I don't know but hey bright side you get to stay in this thread longer than us

  3. Although I don't like movies where it's over the top or anything or song specifically about being intimate with other I do enjoy a good love song especially from Musical Theatre or of that style. As for Movies/Shows part of why I love Star Trek Discovery is the scenes we see between all the couples on there. Like I go and seek out Detmer/Owoshekun, Saru/T'Rina and Staments/Culber fan fics of them being cute together because I like it so much even though I'm AroAce. If you enjoy it then continue to do so. After all gay people liking a romance movie with straight relationships doesn't make them any less gay so why should romance make us any less AroAce

    It's certainly a possibility. As we are year 13 We will age out the teenager chat in about 2 to 3 years as that's 17-18 year in UK

    I'm currently half way through my year 13 mock exams

    I'm getting my marks back throughout this week. I hope they go well for you and the exams aren't too hard, even if the grade boundaries for some subjects are really messed up.😒

    oof, im in one of my free periods

    also Hi!

    I'm currently in a free period too. Just don't want to deal with my maths homework so browsing here, Aven a few other forums in to pass the time.

  8. I think part of the problem is so much of other Queer Identity is tied up in who you love as that what most are about if they aren't under the Trans umbrella or adjacent to it, which leads to Aro and Ace people being left out as they don't experience what many find an integral part of their queerness. This then ends up as 'cis-hets' become the go to term for non queer people even though you could be cisgender and heterosexual but be Aro or Ace meaning you are still queer. It's a problem from these groups not having many Aro or Ace people around to tell them about stuff like the split attraction model or about how not all queerness has to be about loving someone else or being trans. I think we must also be aware that if no one says anything it's not going to change but I also am well aware of just how hard it can be to try to say something in these scenarios. Maybe emailing these people your concerns and guiding them to sites to show how it can be harmful would be a good start. 

    Also if you want you sensual attraction to count then it does. Other people may disagree but if you want it to be queer then it is, you are attracted to someone in a way that society frowns upon and that's queer. Sensual attraction is more than just wanting to be a friend to some one but not wanting to date them which isn't liked. You are queer and don't have to justify yourself to anyone. Queer spaces should be inviting to everyone and they should get to see if they fit without judgement.

  9. So I joined this Forum a while ago but didn't have time to properly look into it and then forgot about. I've recently got back into these sort forums (recently rejoined AVEN as well). Not entirely sure what I'm meant to do on here but I'm sure I will work it out. Hope everyone is doing well on here too!
