Thoughts about queerness
I don't believe being queer is a lifestyle or a way of life, I believe it is a moral. Being queer isn't just being gay or trans or ace/aro. Being queer is being brave, having pride (pun intended), it's being loud, it's being unafraid to stand up to others no matter the situation. It's understanding that you don't have to live a certain way, you don't have to live the apple pie life. you don't have to want kids, you don't have to marry someone, and you don't have to have a simple boring job. It's rejecting society's standards and stereotypes. It's allowing you to express emotion, it's taking up space and showing the world who you are. It's being kind and passionate. It's knowing it's okay to be a virgin, it's okay to have a low body count, it's okay to be a little messed up, and it's okay to get help. It's knowing that everyone is different and not giving a fuck what people do or think (as long as they aren't hurting anyone or themselves) because it's their life. Being queer is being proud.
I'm passionate about my queerness because I want to live in a world where nobody has to be. I want people to be able to come home to their parents with their partners and it is not any different if they were straight. I want to live in a world where nobody has to come out because loving someone is normal, but we don't have that yet so I will continue to proudly state I'm pan and queer. I'm passionate about my queerness because I want people to see me and know they can be open to me, that I am safe and I care about their experience, and I want them to know that they are loved and normal and are allowed to make stupid gay jokes and shout about their queerness. I'm passionate about my queerness because if I'm not then I know we will be locked away and buried in history again. I'm passionate about my queerness because I want my fucking rights, I want to be respected, and I want to be allowed to live my life the way I want.
Add onto this if you feel like it. Or don't your choice.
A character I made named Judy Rabbit, who is both nonbinary and arcade.
funny story i was reading your bio and my heart genuinely stopped when i saw aro-ace exclusionist like. HELLO?? and then i remembered the start says DNI
thanks for the support man 😭😭
Of fucking course! I'm ace so I totally understand how frustrating it is to see others exclude us and aro people so I wanted to make it known that anyone who wants to exclude aro and/or ace peeps aren't allowed.
Actually screaming on the inside at how they basically told queerphobes and exclus to please fuck off and explicitly included us aspecs even beyond aesthetics like the pride flags and nail polishes
Please though?
Ace culture is wanting to live with friends without having to date or have a crush on them. Just let me and my friends live in a big house together without any assumptions.
-?
what if I told you that
"aromantic and asexual are two separate identities and grouping them together/conflating the two only further propagates stigma and misinformation about both"
and
"asexuality and aromanticism have faced many of the same struggles when it comes to rights, representation, and visibility, and that's one of the reasons it's so important that we stand up for each other"
and
"for some people, their own lack of romantic attraction and lack of sexual attraction are intrinsically linked, and it's important that those people feel included in all aspec spaces because they are an important part of our community"
are all ideas that can and must coexist
So now that Gwen Poole is out as aroace people are asking if it's still okay to ship Gwen and Quentin Quire since they already root for them because of west coast avengers.
For those of you who doesn't know, yes Gwenpool is now canonically aroace, We discovered it in Marvel Voices: Pride 2023 and in Love unlimited Gwenpool part 5 where she talks more about her identity.

And I just want to address one thing-
It's okay to ship Gwen with Quentin, as long you understand Gwen was never really interested in him.
From the beginning Gwen Said she picked him as her love interest because she thought she has a better chances of survival if she had a love interest.
If you ship them you need to understand - while Quentin may have actually loved her, it was more of an one sided love.
It's okay to ship them if you understand that Gwen didn't have real feelings for him and just used him.
It's not so crazy, I'm aroace myself and when I was young I faked crushes on boys because I thought that's what I'm supposed to do.
Especially for ADHD people there's a common phenomenon because we can get really excited meeting new people so it's hard for us to separate between romantic and platonic feeling.
Gwen talks about her feelings to Julia the feeling she thought were romantic at first but turned out she just really like her in another and she discovered she didn't really wanted a romantic relationship with her like she thought at first.
I loved Gwen and Quentin myself and I thought they were funny and dynamic, I just want to make things clear that while you can still ship them, she's only faking her feelings and using him as a tool,
If you still want to ship them under this terms it's fine, they can still have funny and interesting dynamic, but don't ship Gwen romantically because that's just an insult to the aroace community.
And happy soon pride month 🎊🏳️🌈
