me looking for ace/aro characters: lets go gambling!

[character's sex repulsion is used for jokes] aw dang it

[character is put in sexual situations despite disliking it] aw dang it

[character's identity is ignored by fandom] aw dang it

[characters creators sexualize them] aw dang it

[aro character gets 'fixed' by true love] aw dang it

[aro/ace character is literally an animal] aw dang it

[creator messes up definition of asexuality] aw dang it

[characters asexuality is never brought up in media] aw dang it

romance is lame and overrated i love mentor/mentee relationships in fiction and especially when theyre sort of fucked up

greatest hits:

- You started out as a bet/challenge to see if I could successfully wrangle the infamous Problem Child but oh whoops I got attached!

- You are my kind, bright-eyed protegé who would never do so much as rip a tag off a mattress. anyway I am going to acquaint you with Criminal Activity

- I showed you genuine kindness and it was maybe the first time you’d ever experienced it and accidentally ended up becoming more of a parent to you than your “real” blood family ever was. Uh. Do you want to play catch in the park or

- I will gladly take any punishment meant for you. I would go to the ends of the earth to protect you, even if it meant I had to die in the process. I would do it a thousand times over, and I wouldn’t regret any of it.

- I taught you how to fight, and now through some circumstance or another, I’m forced to engage you in life-or-death combat without holding back.

- I put you through training from hell to make you the person you are today, for “your own good”, and now you’ve realized that you can hit back. And you can hit hard.

- I have made you into something greater than yourself - but you are changing from how I have designed you, and this is something I cannot allow.

- I taught you everything you know, and it was the greatest mistake I’ve ever made.

- I will make you just like me - by force, if necessary.

stop taggin this with ships / “and then they kiss” / “but what if it WAS romantic” you are missing the whole point of this post so bad. this is a Certified Aro Post. get weird about platonic dynamics NOW

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

damn i wonder where else did i see a similar shot

oh.

Please save my child who needs surgery because of the white phosphorus smell in the war on the Gaza Strip.

I have spoken to Arwa and she is very new to tumblr, so new that the blogs who were vetting fundraisers have not had a chance to verify her.

Please take a moment to read Arwa’s story and donate if you can! She has only raised €10 of €30 000 as of this morning.

this is worth every single minute i have spend supporting this team. i wish these two the best always. 🧿💕

The dream of 150Crore Indians ❤️🇮🇳🥹

morning is good again (India wins the T20 World Cup)

"What happened after the last ball when India were confirmed as champs: Arshdeep rolled the ball back to the bowler. Pandya is seen sobbing uncontrollably like a child. Rohit went flat on his back - head down and is seen shaking his head after he gets up. A tear or two from the Indian captain too. The Indian support staff run all the way to the players to hug and celebrate. Dravid envelops Kohli in a hug, the latter visibly relieved, did he too shed a tear or two? Meanwhile in the South African camp it's opposite reactions - Miller is near the LED boundary hoardings head down unable to believe what has just happened. With India still celebrating and with South Africa coming out, waiting to shake hands, Rohit asks his players to come down for those rituals. Siraj is crying his eyes out too. Rohit hugs Kohli with both emotional. Rohit then folds his hands and does a namaskar to presumably someone up above. What scenes. This is what elite sport is all about."

Chak De India!! ❤️

I love cricket. I love sport. I love commentators that describe a bowled ball as a 'beauty'. I love sporting rivalries. I love the patterns and the narratives that build: favourite grounds, decades-old curses and chokers, overcoming history; people lounging in the sun, decked out in paint and flags, holding homemade signs forming friendships with people they'd never have otherwise met. I love how long cricket runs. I love that you can genuinely escape all reality for a whole day.
