I know I don't post or update the journal anymore but I'm doing this one just to proclaim what a queer I am~
1. what’s your gender?
the fuck's a gender? (agender lol)
2. what are your pronouns?
They/them pronouns! I won't correct he/him for first impressions though.
3. is your family accepting?
Ehh...yes and no. They're not constantly Bible-thumping (most of them, anyway), but they're not super into Pride and queer stuff. My ultra religious grandma is not about it at all, but my aunt was super duper supportive - as in, she took it well and didn't try to tell me I'm not asexual - so...really mixed bag. I'm not out to the majority of them about being agender. Coming out as ace has been enough of a headache.
4. what do you wish you could tell your past self?
"Listen here you dumb bitch, the reason you break up with your boyfriends after like two months is because you're fucking aromantic. Stop going out with alloromantics. It only ends badly."
5. what is your sexuality?
Asexual!
6. favorite color
Purple. Which...may or may not be because of my Pride flag.
7. sun gay or moon gay?
Definitely a moon gay.
8. when did you find out your sexuality?
I saw the term demisexual in a Tumblr bio and didn't know what it meant. I googled it, came across AVEN, and the truth was revealed to me. I ID'd as demi and then grey before accepting I'm just fully ace.
9. how was your day?
Not bad, actually. Thanks for asking!
10. do you have any gay friends?
I do have several not-straight friends! I think they're actually beginning to outnumber the straight ones. Thank fuck lmao
11. what’s your favorite hobby?
My current hyperfixation is sewing, but otherwise I love general crafting, playing video games, and writing.
12. who’s the best gay icon in your opinion
I instinctively thought John Mullaney lmao
Probably Chelsea Manning actually, she fuckin' slays.
13. which pride flags do you like the most design/color wise?
I love the aromantic flag colors, the version with the green and red. Also love my ace colors!
14. are you openly out?
Oh god yeah, at this point I have to be
My work has been really cool about it!
15. are you comfortable with yourself?
Generally, yeah. I want a top surgery at some point, but I don't get dysphoria as bad as I used to.
16. bottom or top?
Bottom bunk. I can hang up blankets and make myself a little tent.
17. femme or butch?
Futch tbh
18. do you bind?
If I have to! I have a nice binder for just such an occasion. Like I said, though, I don't get dysphoric as much as I used to. Maybe because I gained a little weight? Who knows man.
19. do you shave?
Semi-regularly. Mostly my armpits and, y'know, landscaping. I don't shave my legs often bc the skin itches to the point where I rake off patches of skin. So I avoid that.
20. if you could date anyone you wanted, who would it be?
BUCKLE UP FOR MY DREAM SHIPS NERDS
1. I'd want to be the ace third in a poly relationship consisting of a bi person and pan person. At least one of these people has to be feminine presenting.
2. A tall, slender, good-looking boy. Probably blond hair. Very cool and collected with good, quiet humor and a kind heart. Doesn't pressure me into anything, doesn't expect anything. We have an apartment with a lot of succulents. He wears plaid flannel that I steal sometimes.
3. A tall, built, possibly chubby butch girl. She has a loud, hearty laugh that crinkles her whole face. She's a pretty good cook. She's outdoorsy and I'm not, but I go on hikes to humor her. She doesn't mind me being asexual. She wears a LOT of plaid flannel that I steal sometimes.
4. Honestly I'd love to be the beard for a rich closeted gay guy who has to stay closeted for safety reasons so we can pretend to be married and he can keep seeing his boyfriend. Gotta be rich, though. Or if I'm rich. But a looooot of money would have to be involved for me to marry anyone.
5. Chris Pine
21. do you have a partner (s)?
Nope!
22. describe your partner (s)?
Nonexistent.
23. have you ever dated anyone of the same sex?
Nope, I've only dated cis men.
24. anyone of another sex?
I'm agender so like. But I haven't dated any girls yet.
25. pastel gay or goth gay
Totally pastel gay.
26. favorite dad in dream daddies?
I haven't played it yet but I like the goth/vampire one.
27. tell me a random fact about yourself?
I've been working on the same 5-novel series for a fucking decade (since 2008).
28. do you own any pride flags/merch?
NOT AS MUCH AS I WANT!!! I have some flag buttons and a they/them pin but that's it.
29. have you ever been to a pride parade?
Yeah! And honestly I like it more than Pride Fest. The festivals here are just a bunch of drunk white people and insurance kiosks lining the closed-off street.
30. any advice to someone who isn’t out or who are exploring themselves?
Take your time. Listen to what feels right. And don't be afraid to change your label! I did it multiple times! Also, try to connect with other people in the community so you'll have a support group. And learn your history, and be proud of yourself no matter what you settle on!
