Tumblr lets you pin posts so lets make an intro one.
I am Socks, a hobby artist among other things. Here’s a few things to expect from this blog
I would really rather minors not follow me, or vice versa. Again, nothing against yall but I just don’t want that headache. I’m also a sign, not a cop, so whatever. I’m not clicking links or your caard or other shit to find out your age and I sure as shit don’t have time to see who’s following me at any given moment. I respect that if you’re coming to my blog to see what I’m about you’re also able to respect that I don’t want minors following me.
I DO NOT answer circlejerky anons. I get that some folks want to make jokes without a face and get in on the wank but I don’t enable that stuff unless it adds to the conversation, or has valid claims to it. Otherwise, hold off.

i’m not aromantic but i believe in their beliefs
for me being bi has contributed a huge amount to noticing all the ways in which romance and friendship run together and i think in general people would benefit from recognizing that romance and friendship are socially constructed categories used to describe a vast, nebulous, and often overlapping range of feelings
My way of parsing it:
Every Relationship is actually a specific, unique thing. We invented Shorthands, such as Friend or Husband, to help describe recurring motifs in Relationships. But. The labels are simplifications. They will always fail to adequately contain the entirety of the Relationship.
I’d much rather see one thousand “graphic design is my passion” canva book covers and scribbly ms paint covers and poorly scanned colored pencil covers than a single AI generated book cover
As an aromantic individual it actually drives me insane when people measure the quality of queer rep based on whether or not that queer character has a relationship. Like we are actually whole people outside of our dating lives. Don’t get me wrong I want to see the lesbians make out as much as the next one but I also don’t measure that as the be all end all of gay characters.
