When One Of My Posts Actually Get Reblogged, I Really Love Reading The Tags Because Sometimes Itll Be

When one of my posts actually get reblogged, I really love reading the tags because sometimes it’ll be people assuming something about me depending, sometimes it’ll be me genuinely scaring the shit out of someone, and sometimes it’ll be the funniest reaction I got from one of my artworks.

I audibly laughed when I read “he looks sad and miserable 10/10” <3

I’ve been thinking a lot lately, wondering about who I am and all that. I think I might be cupioromantic.

Even though I’ve had boyfriends in the past and all that, I’ve never actually had romantic feelings for really any of them. They would ask me out, and I was pretty much like, “alright, bet,” and I think that might’ve just been because I really, really wanted to be with someone. I love the idea of dating someone and having someone hold me and all that mushy romantic stuff, but I’ve never really had a crush on anyone for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, specifically from second to fourth grade, I even used to pretend to have a crush on these guys at my school. Like, pretend in the most obnoxious ways possible because I thought that was normal (haha, autism).

Now that I have this in mind, I feel this sense of clarity mixed in with despair since what this tells me is that I’m never going to experience romantic love. I know I’m not alone in this though, since there’s a bunch of people all over the world like this or experiencing something similar, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. I’ll work on accepting that as time goes on though. 👍

struggling to accept myself so I drew myself with the cupioromantic colours with aegosexual and gay pins (with lineart)

“What is non-binary?”

Non-binary is a gender identity where a person’s gender isn’t within the gender binary (girl or boy), and they feel as though it’s something completely different or nonexistent. These people use terms such as “agender” or “gendeless” to define themselves, and oftentimes use pronouns like they/them/their/themself (To be used like, “I think they look nice. Their hair is pretty.”)

Due to their gender identity not matching with the sex they were assigned at birth, these people are also oftentimes considered to be transgender.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week and I decided to draw a picture of my best friend. Last year, they committed suicide at the age of sixteen due to the discrimination and trauma they experienced growing up, and I feel as if it’s my duty to spread awareness and help make this world a better place so people like them won’t have to feel as though suicide is their only option.

They helped me through so much throughout the years. They were a big inspiration for me and has helped me through a lot of my own battles in regards to insecurity and gender expression. As such, I want to be there to help other people the same ways they did in their memory.

All I ask is that you share this post or posts like this one and be respectful and kind to other people.

Thank you for reading. 🫶🏳️‍🌈
