If you ever date an asexual person be sure to get the specifics of their asexuality because the level of comfort with physical contact is different for all of us.
YES THIS IS SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT
Also—this needs to be an ongoing conversation. Sometimes things are ok for us and sometimes they’re not. Permission once is not permission forever.
“protect heteroromantic aces” lmao from what? the sharknado?
from corrective rape? from mothers who are open and accepting of gay, bi, pan, etc people and still unknowingly tell their asexual children that people who don’t want sex are sick need help? from their closest friends at birthday parties starting conversations about how weird and fake asexuality is? from the fear of being alone forever because no one could want to be with someone like them? from going against sexual and relationship norms in a society that tells them they’re broken and wrong?? from people like you who delegitimize their struggles in the eyes of much of lgbt+ community, some of the only people who you’d think might understand
I’m such a laid back person you can tell me “goodnight” and I can see you posting and I understand sometimes you just need time to yaself to enjoy ur dash without talking to anybody, i get ya shorty do ya thing
Because it’s natural for people to be afraid to die. Every single organism on this planet has evolved to achieve one thing: survive. I can understand that you feel sick when you think of death. That’s your brain going “Hey! That’s not a good thing! Let’s try not to do that, please!” (which is also why suicide is so majorly awful and tragic, like, some people have been pushed so far that it’s easy for them to resist their own survival instinct.)
This fear is completely rational. Hell, I’ll even go so far as to say it’s probably the oldest, most important fear we all have. It’s the reason you’re alive right now. Imagine the consequences if your ancestors weren’t afraid of getting mauled by mammoths, or ambushed by wolves. You exist because of this.
DO NOT feel bad for having this fear. I promise, this is really okay, even normal.
I recently discovered a novel planner/writing program that doesn’t seem to have a whole lot of publicity behind it yet. It has a lot of good, useful features, so I wanted to do a quick review of it.
Quoll Writer is a free, open-source program with a minimalist feel. Unfortunately, it is currently only available for Windows, but it looks like they are trying to feel out if people are interested in a Mac/Linux version.
You can create scenes, chapters, character bios, locations, and items. This is the main screen:
At the bottom of the main screen’s navigation pane, there are options to save chapter text, add new items (like plot outline, scenes, characters, etc.), edit chapter information, view wordcounts (I’ll come back to this), toggle the spellcheck, delete items, and other tools.
Character Bios:
You can link characters to other characters, as well as tag them to specific chapters. As you can see at the bottom of the Character screen, clicking on any specific page (Character 1, Chapter 1, etc) will open up a new tab rather than a new window. I particularly like this because it cuts down on distraction and makes it much easier to switch between different items.
If you click the fourth symbol on the bottom of the main chapter screen, it will bring up wordcount and other information, including words typed in this session, and words per chapter:
If you click the ‘View Detail’ link, it will bring up a handy chart showing your progress:
You may have noticed by now several icons in the upper right-hand corner. The first of these will take you to an Idea Board, where you can add ideas for chapters, scenes, characters, locations, and items. You also have the ability to create your own Idea categories, which I think is a nice touch.
The symbol on the farthest right will bring up a menu where you can open different projects, save snapshots of your projects, and import and export. It also gives you access to the Warm-Up exercices, which is one of my favorite features of Quoll Writer. It gives you a writing prompt, and you can set a time or wordcount goal. You can even add your own writing prompts.
Another fun feature is the Achievement board. As you use Quoll Writer, you can earn achievements. You can even set Quoll Writer to play a small sound to alert you to a new achievement.
There is also a full-screen, distraction-free mode:
Quoll Writer seems like a great program. So far, I have only found two downsides to this program. The first is that it may be difficult to organize worldbuilding notes. The second is that you cannot import pictures, which is a major drawback for me because I love to include character inspiration pictures. However, I contacted the creators and they said that is a feature they plan on including in one of the future updates.

That’s right kids. Now no matter if your a member of the server to RP or just a fan you can see the server map, builds, and watch the chat from high in the clouds of your browser. Can you spot all the faction and neutrals builds?
The server will be lagging and unusable for RP unless Nights is contacted to halt rendering this weekend (IE you can play its just annoying chat spam and sorta rather laggy). However, today will be A_J and Auditors last RP! Why not come watch from your browser and look around the server!.
