Romantic Attraction Is Confusing - Tumblr Posts

I’m an Ace Lesbian

Hey everyone, it’s Kerris! Ok, so, I realized I was ace back in May, it wasn’t very hard to figure that out. I had a lot harder of a time figuring out who I was romantically attracted to, though. So, when I first put a label on myself back in 2021, I labeled myself as Pansexual (I hadn’t realized I was ace yet) and nothing really made me question it until August. In August I realized I might be a lot more into non-men and I debated if I was a lesbian until about the end of September when I settled on the thought that I was omni. However, when I was in this debate I was basing it on mostly fictional crushes and a few crushes I had on girls at school. Then, on Monday night my brain decided to start this debate up again. On Tuesday and Wednesday I watched a bunch of videos, took quizzes, and looked on Tumblr for answers. What ended up settling this was when I learned lesbians can have crushes on fictional men. 

I think my subconscious was thinking about the possibility even back in June, though because when I create OCs I put part of myself into them (personality, sexuality, etc.) so when I created my TOH OC Rowan, I thought I was just putting the ace part of me in her, but I guess not.

Something I think might have helped me figure this out is Amity Blight and Luz Noceda. I have crushes on both of them and it makes me so happy to see this kind of rep in a kids show and might have figured this out earlier in life if I had something like this when I was younger. The first gay character I was ever introduced to was Nico di Angelo when I was in the 5th grade. 

Yeah, so anyways, in conclusion, I figured out I was a lesbian this week!
