You Ever Think About The Fact That CHB Is Just A Quirky Orphanage Run By A Horse And An Alcoholic Sentenced

You ever think about the fact that CHB is just a quirky orphanage run by a horse and an alcoholic sentenced to a century long rehab for adrenaline junkies?

We still have a long way to go tho

Hopefully the next generation has it better

Just thinking about how like, when I was a teenager, the gayest show we had was Merlin, which was somehow super gay and also incredibly homophobic.

But now y’all teens have your pick of queer characters. Soft gay teenagers? Check. Gay royalty? Check. Gay pirates? Check. Gay vampires? Check. Gay angels and demons? Check.

It’s a damn LGBT smorgasbord out there.

I've always considered Barney Stinson to be aromatic. Idk if it's the best representation, but he just gives aro vibes???? If you get what I'm saying

I know it's kinda selfish, but can I have one asexual character that isn't aromantic? One who stands up and says that you can love without sex, and that they deserve love without having to engaging in something they prefer not to?

Also a aromantic character that isn't asexual? One who doesn't feel guilt about needing and wanting people, but not seeking a romantic relationship with them? One that is open and proud, and in no way ashamed for their lack of love and need of sex?

Please?

I know that everyone who listens to Only The Brave by Louis Tomlinson thinks it's about Larry. But to me it's always had a different meaning. Music is obviously for our own interpretation, and that's what I love about it. But if you just look at the lyrics, its clearly about a person who sees romance all around them and realizes that they're different. "Its a solo song and it's only for the brave" I think that he's talking about how romance and sex is such a priority to people, and to us, not doing it, is brave. It's brave that we seek out different relationships and that being in this world alone is difficult and scary. That's what is so difficult and different about being asexual. And constantly asking the question How the hell am I going to live by myself for the rest of my life?

The lyric "I've been close enough to touch, but never cared for love" is quite like how we dont understand that kind of love. How could you fall in love? What was that fine line between platonic vs romantic love?

Lastly, the line "And they'll say 'I told you so' come on when you know you know" is how when you come out most people are going to be like 'Oh, you just haven't found the right person' or 'You must be a late bloomer' or some shit like that. But being asexual is really tough. To me it was that when I was 8 I always wondered why everyone around me had a crush on guys, and when we were 14 why everyone wanted or had a boyfriend. I just simply never understood it, weren't we too young for this? And then suddenly I'm 16 and hooking up and dating is the norm and then you realize maybe it's you. Maybe I'm the imposter, maybe I'm the one who's different. It's weird. I think Sex Education described it well. It's like there's a wide variety of really good food, but you're just not hungry.

At least that's my interpretation. Feel free to let me know what you think. And I'm just going to put some pictures of the lyrics here

Rock steady belief.
