hey guys unpopular opinion but you’re not a bad person if you don’t care about every bad thing happening in the world all the time, or if you do care but you’re not constantly reblogging posts spreading awareness and information
it’s okay if you’re just on tumblr to have fun and reblog things you like or that make you happy.
humans aren’t made to process trauma and suffering on a worldwide scale without any breaks whatsoever & the internet has created an unprecedented access to bad news so please never feel guilty for scrolling past it because you can’t process it! and you’re not doing anything wrong & there’s no need to feel guilty
You know what should be a thing, aromantic – polyamourous solidarity. Like I know it seems like I’m talking about things that are completely opposite, but think about it
– both groups reject conventional relationship ideas
– we all don’t believe in the idea of finding that one, single romantic partner that will be more important than anyone else in our lives (whether we don’t want a romantic partner at all or we want multiple, equally important ones)
– referring to above, we all get told one day we will find that person that will make us see the light of monogamous romantic love or whatever
– both polyam people and allosexual aros get shoved into the stereotype of asshole who just wants to sleep around without commitment
– our relationships of choice don’t get the same kind of privileges romantic ones do (whether because we don’t want to marry or because we can’t marry multiple people)
– some people are both aromantic and polyamourous
Idk I just think we could get along
This! This is what I’ve been trying to say! Aro and poly people both have to deal with amatonormativity and we should use that as a foundation for solidarity.
As someone who is both aro and poly, I agree, I think there are lots of areas of overlap and I’d like to see more solidarity with these two communities. I also think the two communities could inform each other quite a bit. Poly concepts of relationship models and intimacy would be very useful for aros seeking to build intimate relationships, and aro understanding of amatonormativity and attraction would be useful for poly people seeking to deconstruct relationship norms and better understand intimacy.
Another aro and poly person here. Amatonormativity weighs both communities down and our views of relationships are very similar. I hope that there is more unity between both communities in the future as we would all benefit from a bit of solidarity!
the Kimono Girls never explicitly say they’re summoning Lugia or Ho-oh for you. Just that they need you. As so, there’s literally no proof they weren’t planning on using Ethan/Lyra as a ritualistic human sacrifice but the bird decided to like, not do that
The bird absolutely decided to do that that’s why you gotta fight it
So since getting home from the lovely 3day weekend up near Kremmling with @katy-l-wood , mochi has not been more than 12 inches from me, of not actually sleeping on me.
I think, possibly, he might have missed me.
Mochi I love you but I would appreciate slightly less claw in my “welcome home full internal organ massage” they don’t need to become external organs.
