Crystal Entity from M3X-387: I KNOW YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON RODNEY MCKAY YA LITTLE BITCH

Every so often I see people wondering how a “lack of sexuality” counts as a sexuality.  (Or in one case, why asexuality counts as a sexuality and hypersexuality is medical condition).

And I think this question comes as a result of people, either by accident or maliciousness, misidentifying what asexuality actually is.

Aphobes and exclusionists like to portray asexuality as simply a matter of magnitude.  You’re not really ace.  You’re a straight/gay/bi person who doesn’t have/want sex.  Like there’s a z axis of the kinsey scale that indicates “amount”.  If they even give us that much validity.

But ultimately, asexuality is not about magnitude.  An asexual person can actually have a sex drive.  We can have libidos.  We have hormones and biological reactions just like everyone else.  Asexual people can feel horny.  And surprise, there are asexual people who have been diagnosed with hypersexuality.

(And if you want to know how a sex-repulsed asexual handles a healthy sex drive…well, simply put, we’re generally capable of seeing to our own needs, thank you.)

Asexuality is not a matter of magnitude.  It’s a matter of direction.

Of orientation if you will.

It might help to look at it like this.  If sexual desire is a multiple choice exam, then these are some of the options that you might have.

a) Women.

b) Men.

c) Multiple genders.

d) None of the above.

For asexual people, the answer is “d) None of the above”.  Admittedly, for others on the ace spectrum, the answer might fluctuate a bit more.  But our default position is going to be “d”.

And THAT’s why it’s a sexuality.

”?!” makes a sound in my head, but I can’t describe what it is.

me, age 12, watching elizabeth swann becoming pirate king:

Crowley: So, if you had ten books and I asked for five then how many would you have left?

Aziraphale: Zero.

Crowley: What? Angel, it’s basic maths, I don’t get how-

Aziraphale: I would give them all to you because I love you.

Crowley, holding back tears and trying to be cool: gross absolutely disgusting get out of my room

image description under the cut because this is a whole-ass 5 page comic. (sorry!)

happy pride. i drew this instead of things i should be doing. it was a good excuse to draw a lot of beautiful girls using references (found under the cut). it’s messy and bad, but i think the message gets across. i love being a lesbian because it helped me love myself more.

i genuinely don’t think that a single line of dialogue has ever been delivered as exquisitely as when toby stephens said “and then they called me a monster” and honestly you can quote me on that
