-> Art tag is #unsagely sage art.
-> I co-write @lovespells-comic, a slowburn lesbian romance with a JRPG vibe. If you’re a new reader, it might be easier to start on Tapas.
-> If you’re like “what’s the deal with clone angst / bug yaoi?”, go read Astra Incliant, the ongoing OC fic which I am plugging my way through writing. It’s about clone angst, space religion, body horror, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. It has illustrations!!

Thanks!
By age 22 you should have a circle of at least five cool and weird trans women advising you at all times
It’s Asexual Awareness Day, so I’m out here making my very periodic post about asexuality. I don’t talk about it a lot because I Think the Discourse is still out there and still causing a lot of harm, but I feel like it’s important to make myself visible sometimes specifically as an ace adult. I’m 34, married, and also ID as a lesbian.
I’ve accepted the ace part of myself a lot better over time, but I know it really does feel like people treat aceness as a sort of “transitional” identity — ie, you’re only ace until you realize what your “real” identity is because you were held back by undiagnosed mental illness, not realizing you were trans, dealing with internalized homophobia, etc. And while that’s absolutely fair and your asexuality is real regardless of if it evolves into something else (this has happened to many friends), I want to say it’s also fine to… just be like this. It doesn’t need to have a reason. Maybe you’ll find other identity elements of yourself like I mentioned, but maybe there aren’t any. That’s okay.
Your asexuality isn’t inherently a stepping stone to realizing your “real” identity, and if you really are Just Ace forever, that’s good too. I’m just like this.
Sorry to be the bog-standard “you’re valid (:” post, but I don’t think it gets tackled from this specific angle very much. In short: it’s fine to just be ace, it’s fine if you have other identity factors, it’s fine if you don’t. It’s fine if you realize you’re something else or become something else over time, but it’s also possible and totally okay to just be this way.
Love you.
OCs are so fun and I think its awesome that even people who don’t plan to publish a story or draw that well will have them. Its just good for you to have toys in your brain to play with.
it’s a shame that most critiques of localization are by people who don’t understand anything about translation when the real reason that localization sucks is that the industry norms are very racist
Posting on any social media platform these days feels a bit like shouting into the void. I appreciate the frankly bizarre amount of traction my fanart posts get over on my alt, but fandom is sooo bad about just. Blindly devouring.

Please, guys!!! We gotta leave tags and talk to each other and say what we like!!!
Id love to know 4,5,and 6 from that ask post for River. What are his colors, animals, and flowers? :3
from badkarma1998
Colors: Purple is his favorite, but he likes blues and greens, too!
Animals: Oh my god. It’s been years since he interacted with an animal. I think he’d like having a cat to snuggle, though. Its purring might make him feel better when he’s having a bad time.
Flowers: He’s a big romantic at heart, so flower meanings are something he’s looked up before. For meaning specifically, his favorite is definitely moonflower (“dreaming of love”). Aesthetically, he appreciates the simplicity of things like daisies (bonus if they’re dyed colors), but he doesn’t have too much preference.
He would be over the moon if a romantic partner thought to give him flowers, though this is mostly an impractical dream because. You just don’t get cut flowers in space. RIP.

I have this one side fic where like. I think if anyone reads it, they’re going to go “wow sage you went too far in making Solis guileless and stupid”. But. In reality, I wrote the scene genuinely without realizing and then belatedly went OH WAIT LMAO and had to alter River’s reaction.
