Emerelda from A Tale of Magic (no love interest + wears green all the time = mandatory aromantic headcannon)

There’s a poet named Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon. Never read any of her poems but I think she has the coolest name ever.

Currently reading When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey My favorite books are Suggested Reading (by Dave Connis, highly highly recommended), Not Your Backup, Dragonslayer, and The House of Hades (currently living for when The Sun and the Star comes out…) Mostly fiction. Fantasy and dystopian are probably my favorites. But I like reading a lot of different stuff

It was actually pretty good! I’ve been learning guitar and today I began taming the wild barre chords

I’m not particularly friendly either ;) The next person gets a binder of preschool crayon drawings

Hello!

Theater is my sport

When headcannoning characters in classic literature as queer is the only thing that gets you through high school English class

I just love having a word to describe who I am. It’s something that I don’t think non-queer people really think about: that somewhere, there is an actual word that people know that describes something complicated about YOU. Like there can be things you’re familiar with, and you know what they are, but they don’t have a name. But when you find the word for them, it just seems so perfect. (Like the word malinger means to pretend to be sick so you don’t have to do work! I’m sure lots of people are familiar with that idea, but there’s also words to describe that thing that we’re familiar with. That’s something cool about different languages, since they can have different words for concepts that otherwise are unnamed.) So there’s this complicated, messy, undeniable part of me. But there’s word for it. And that’s the most wonderful feeling in the world.

Yay! I also don’t know anyone who’s read them so that’s soo great that you have :) I don’t remember too much about the series, bc it’s been almost a year and once I started questioning all understanding of the actual plot went out the window, but I think you should read book three? Question mark? Emma’s aroace and my queer icon and that’s my only real recollection of it

For the longest time I wanted the power of knowing exactly where everything is and being able to find anything, but when I told anyone they thought it was kind of a boring superpower. But then the main character in the Sidekick Squad series, which was also the books that made me realize I was aro, had that exact same power. Tell me it’s not meant to be.

Hi, I’m a teen but the pace of this thread has low key intimidated me so far…
