A ficlet for my friend and ever patient RP partner, @hawthornandunicornhair.

AO3

Rating: Teen and Up

Summary: Isabelle and Raphael had to attend a boring Shadowhunter function. Well, Izzy did and Raphael being the dutiful fiancé, accompanies her. She decides to make the night interesting by teasing him and well…here’s what happens after.

So after a reread (this is one of my favorite fics dont @ me), I edited it a little for clarity because I kinda published it in a rush. Nothing major. But there are a few tiny additions.

A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)

In addition to being a much more practical use of Segway tech, this thing also looks as nifty as a wheelchair ought to. Most of them look like they were designed by the Soviet Bureau of Things That Are No Fucking Fun.

OH I might actually want this as a wheelchair maybe O.O

Don’t you agree this is epically COOL? 😀 @destan-of-the-shadows

How many times does this need to be said?

Asexuality doesn’t mean “doesn’t fuck”. It doesn’t mean “doesn’t like sex” or “thinks sex is dirty” or, worst I’ve seen at this point “can’t get their dick up”.

Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction.

Not a lack of libido or sex drive. Not a lack of sex-positivity. Not a lack of the physiological processes that cause erections, tenting, production of vaginal lubrication, or other things of that nature.

Can asexual people feel or have a lack of those things? Sure.

Do they all? No. Are they defined by those? No.

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction. That’s it. Stop saying this shit to try to give a “hot take” or make asexuality out to be something it’s not to be easier to get people to exclude it.

You’re right and you should say it.

discovering your orientation is like untangling yarn. it takes a while to sort out, is frustrating, and depending on what identities there are identities there, along with how large they affect you, it could take a long time.

sometimes, you’ll find yourself with some pieces knotted together so tight, that you have no choice but to cut them apart. this can damage what you are severely, but it can be mostly fixed by tying the matching pieces back together.

when you finally untangle one color from the rest, it is such a wonderful experience. you have successfully cleared part of the confusion, and now have less to sort through.

eventually, you’ll have it all sorted out. each yarn is rolled into neat individual balls, and with them you can create something beautiful, which you can choose to share with others, or choose to keep to yourself.

maybe someday you’ll find someone (whether it be a good friend, datemate, or soulmate) you want to make something beautiful together with, and integrate both of your yarns together to create something bigger.
