Yesterday I told a guy I was ace/aro and he asked what “aro” meant, so I told him, and he responded, “Oh, I thought it might be like A-E-R-O and I was confused.”
Yes. I am asexual/aerodynamic. At the slightest hint of sex or romance I launch myself into the air and land several miles away.
Happy 10th birthday to the most popular post I’ve ever made. I have learned about so many aroace characters with the ability to fly from this post and I love that.
#reblog#asexuality#aromanticism#lgbtqia+#Ramys is very aroace#the problem is that she is aerodynamic as dragons tend to be - but not for launching herself away from people#oh no#she mauls the fuck out of people she doesn't like even more than most dragons tend to#Sorana is desperate to keep that from happening but alas Ramys is very magnetically attracted to raising hell#lightning dragons are naturally amazing at it too but Ramys takes it to an eleven
people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING
be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.
I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

So much colour and iridescence!🤩
This has got to be one of my most favourite pieces, it was SUCH a challenge, especially trying to achieve the level of shininess with just using traditional media! But I think I pulled it off 💪
I hope you like it!
Prints are available via my Etsy 🥰

"this character acted irrationally and i don't like it :/" people act irrationally in real life all the time. why do you want stories to be boring. "it made me uncomfortable" GOOD. learn to be uncomfortable from harmless fictional situations and perhaps you'll handle yourself better next time you're uncomfortable irl

I think tumblr should be banned from using the phrase “an angel lost its wings” when referring to trans people in any way shape or form. Whether it’s about a headcanon or a type of surgery, if you only want trans people to live, exist and experience life in a way that makes you personally satisfied and any deviation is akin to a tragedy, then your allyship means absolutely nothing to me, even if you yourself are trans.
An angel gains its wings every single time a trans person comes out, and there is never a single exception to this. That’s it. Angels are gaining their wings left right and centre. Those wings are never being taken away. They were fucking earned.

[ID: "Cold weather reminder. Do NOT plug space heaters into power strips or extension cords. Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet. Power strips are not designed to handle the high current flow required by a space heater and can overheat causing a fire."
A photo is attached of a power strip with an extremely charred end. Part of the power strip's wire is also charred. End ID]
My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.
For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?
My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead
Good to know, thank you!
*gets up to replug space heater*
I recently redid the cord management for half of my office at work because people kept plugging space heaters into power strips.
Wait - is that the real reason offices don't allow space heaters under desks? I knew about fire risks, but thought that came at the hot end, not the electrical end.
It could certainly be part of it. I think there's also a lot of issues with people in offices just leaving space heaters on in general.
