    You can focus on your interest but only your interest for example if you don’t like a subject in school you will literally learn nothing and fail the class

     

    I wish I could get testosterone today 

    It’s in really small amounts. (Also I’m still somehow able to do classes, I just suck at listening but it’s easy to pick up all of that info if I learn it right in my head, though I forget it fast. XD).

    I wish I could have unlimited knowledge.

    I wish that I didn’t have to go to a stupid wedding out of state for someone I don’t even know and who is homophobic.

    You have to go to the funeral of Ron DeSantis in 5 years instead.

    I wish I could actually focus on my interests and that they wouldn’t go under in less than 5 months.

    It really depends.

    If I wanna just listen to something comforting with lyrics, good options are usually Cavetown and Lovejoy (“This is Home” by Cavetown specifically). Alternatively if I wanna listen to something a little bit sadder I put on some Juice WRLD or tentacion (“Guardian Angle” “ before I close my eyes” and “Carry On” by tentacion specifically, and “Righteous” “Legends” and “Wishing Well” by Juice WRLD specifically.)

    If I want something more instrumental I’ll usually just put the undertale soundtrack on shuffle for an hour or two lmao, but that still won’t stop the anime music on repeat in my head 🤪.

    Though seriously, I’m BEGGING YOU, listen to the freaking soundtrack I linked. I listened to that for hours, it’s freaking amazing.

    i literally do not care about shipping

    like at all

    when i like a piece of media it's usually very separate from anything to do with relationships (unless it's like platonic ig)

    and when it isn't i like it to have some reason to be there

    one example is undertale since it's used for comedy and it's unique enough for me to appreciate it

    Yeah pretty much same here. I can appreciate some cartoon ships but overall I just don’t care.

    I sort of have a love-hate relationship with shipping. In general, I'm incredibly "picky" when it comes to ships between characters. In order for me to like it, it needs to make logical sense, there has to be a solid background for their relationship, they have to fall in love not instantly, and many other things. And, of course, if the two characters have a good dynamic or not. I think this is partially because I'm aromantic, so I don't really "get" love on an emotional level. Instead, I evaluate ships based upon logical things, because that's sort of how I understand it. "Understand" probably isn't the best word choice, but that's the one I have. If a ship doesn't meet my logic-based requirements, I just can't ship it. It won't work for me. If it does, however, then I'll totally ship it. Most ships that I'm alright with are just sort of... there. I don't mind it, but I'm not obsessed with it, either. Still, I do have a select list of ships that I'll totally fangirl over because they're great. 

    I also agree with what some other people on here have said about being sorta demiromantic when it comes to shipping. In most cases, I need to adjust to the characters & their dynamic before I'm okay with the ship. 

    I mean I personally just don’t but if I did I’d just go for logical and practical reasons, along with just headcannoning a lot of character’s romantic/sexual identity and leaving it.

    This. Was gorgeous. No words.

    And hey! Where's my invitation to the geek club??

    Because I'm a huge gaming and cartoon nerd:

     

    Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVE gravity falls. Very good pick.

    Also I need to just spread that soundtrack to the rest of the world, it’s absolutely beautiful.

    Depends. If I'm looking for nostalgia, usually either the Clash (particularly anything off Combat Rock) or Fleetwood Mac. If I'm looking to get cheered up, eurobeat. If I'm looking to go to sleep, usually something by Gojira or Kaoru Akimoto.

    Never heard of them before. I might check out a lot of the musicians people keep talking about but tbh there’s just so many of them. 😅

    Though that does sound interesting.

    Anyone else feel like being aromantic and allosexual alters their sexual desires?

    Been considering my identity for a while and starting to think I may be aromantic but not asexual. I have never had sex and don't feel a strong desire to have sex with another person, but I have a relatively high sex drive by myself (less so since starting antidepressants, but I still masturbate a few times a week as opposed to every day like I used to). I enjoy sexual fantasies and feel aroused by them, and I experience sexual attraction, but exclusively for celebs/fictional characters/teachers/basically anyone decidedly unattainable. I've never felt it for a peer or a friend.

    Part of me is wondering if this is my aromanticism causing this - I crave sex and sexual release and love the pleasure of exploring that by myself, but since I don't crave romance, I don't have much desire to share those things with another person - I'm just as happy to have that pleasure by myself. 

    Had anyone experienced similar feelings?

    Mostly yes. Sex just sounds overall not that fun but the idea does. I’m exactly the same way for like 90% of that minus the desire for that and experiencing that at all. Irl I’ve never felt that towards peers or friends.

    ah yes, crushes. Never had one. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything

    For like 5 minutes I did, and that still fluctuates but I don’t really think I’ve had any of those. I’ve had aesthetic, platonic, and alterous feelings but none of them romantic.

    Nah it's fine. I don't mind spoilers. I actually already got vah medoh! That's like the only one I managed to do, tho.

    I’d suggest either vah rudania or vah rutah, though vah rudania gets you a better overall yield reward so go there next.

    Ooh, thank you for the advice! I'll keep that in mind (especially since I suck at the combat aspect of the game)

    Yeah the boss there is some weird lightning thing that loves to try and stab anyone at super high speeds. You gotta have stupid good speed and combat to beat it. I’d go with vah medoh (top left of map) first because the reward is far better. I probably just spoiled more than intended but this info is useful.

    Ever since I started reading books with romance in them, I was always "ewww gross" as a small child and skipped all the kissing scenes. That's mostly died down now, but sometimes I still skip past them because they're just. Too. Long. 

    When watching movies, I would always look away / cover my ears / hide under a blanket when there was any sort of sappy, romantic talk or kissing. My god. There is way too much kissing in TV. Now, I don't hide under the blanket, but I still get visibly uncomfortable when stuff like that comes on, and I fidget a lot and "go get water" so I don't have to watch it-

    Whenever my friends talked about crushes, I would (and still do) get grossed out and uncomfortable. When I was younger, the train of thought was more of "ewww that's gross and why are they wasting all of their time on something stupid". Now, it's less of that (though I still do have those thoughts occasionally), and more of just, "Can they please stop talking about it?"

     

    Oh my gosh I remember so many countless days where they’d show the lion king and I’d hide under the covers from “can you feel the love tonight”. Seriously I don’t understand how simba just magically liked nala all of a sudden. They met as old friends and then five seconds later… BOOM! They were suddenly in love. Still to this day when people are talking about their crushes I’m just like “I’d sell my left leg to change it to a more interesting topic. If they talked about entertainment I’d be down.”

    I get that. My complete lack of interest in being with someone romantically, kind of lowered any intentions I could have with someone sexually.

    I mean overall it sounds nice for others but for people the only relationship I could relate to was just the familial kind and I just carry that over to the romantic kind.
