hi :) call me wybie


wybie

Recommended Posts

hi, I’m going to go by wybie on here (not my real name tho, it’s just a character from Coraline lol) 

nonbinary | they/he 

first time joining an aromantic forum so I’m excited to be here 

still figuring it out, but I’m somewhere on the aro spectrum. maybe lithromantic, Aegoromantic? my sexual orientation is…well I think I’m sexually attracted to multiple genders but have little interest in pursuing a sexual relationship. so maybe like orchidsexual? dunno 🤷🏻 

im currently in a relationship with my boyfriend but have realized my aromantic identity while dating him. so it’s been difficult and I’m kinda stuck. Im a softie, i don’t like breaking hearts. sigh

id like to one day be in a qpr because the idea of that seems pretty intriguing to me. I’ve never been in one tho so no idea what goes into that 

oh! I’m also autistic :) I’ll say a couple of my special interests:

nature, (marine) biology, paleontology, astrology, astronomy, pets (I’m a pet sitter), legos, toys in general, a bit of spirituality & self-development 

that’s all, k thanks bye!

Hi wybie, welcome! I hope you didn't choose this nickname because of the reason his parents gave it to him >_< I love Coraline too, just adding myself to the pile!

I think we might have very similar discovery processes. I considered all three of these terms for myself, too; then I got tired and just settled on aroace, lol. I thought "this fits, I'll figure it out as I go". So don't sweat it—I don't know if you are, personally I was pretty stressed with discovering my identity so I hope it's a smooth process for you!

That sucks… But you have to think about your happiness too; I've been on your same side, I know it feels awful to break someone's heart, especially if you care about them very much, but if it's not working out, it's not working out. I hope you find it in yourself to break it off eventually, and I hope you can stay friends maybe :)

And wow, you have such interesting interests (sorry for the repetition lol)! Btw, there's this really cool YT channel that made a bunch of really interesting videos about astronomy, Vsauce; you ever heard of it? They deal with all sorts of topics too, but they have a specific playlist called "Space"; you can check it out if you want.

I also love nature; I used to be way into astrology, natal charts and all; and although I consider myself an atheist, I'm very intrigued by spirituality, especially stuff like pantheism/omnideism. So if you want to nerd about any of these things I guess I'm your person!

 

Sorry for the lengthy reply; hope you have a pleasant time here! ^^

Yes, those are awfully interesting interests, I agree! Have you guys heard of the youtube channel, Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell?
They have videos on a variety of topics, such as science (mainly physics, especially astronomy), nature, philosophy, history, and psychology! I like that channel.

Why did they name him that? Also, who here has read the novel on which Coraline is based?

Ooh I know that channel, it's so good!

Because they didn't want him, so "why be?", like "why does he exist" :((

I didn't read the novel, but I watched a video by abitfrank that explains what the differences between book and film are. Here it is if anyone wants to watch it:

That is inredibly messed up- I knew that Coraline is way creepier and far, far darker in the novel, but this is just- YIKES!
