Theresastarmanwaitinginthesky008 - Ayyy-romantic

Last week I made this post:

(There was a poll but I couldn’t fit it in the screen shot)

(Also there’s now 3 chapters written)

But I forgot to add tags so nobody saw it and hence it got no votes

So I’m making a new poll this one with tags

As an aromantic person I find the term ‘my other half’ to refer to a significant other so strange.

Because sometimes I think to myself; ‘That’s stupid, I don’t need another half I’m a whole person by myself. Amatonormativity is so weird.’

And others I think; ‘I will forever be alone, a fraction for all my life. Without a lover I won’t be a real person.’

The first three chapters are up 🎉.

The fic is called ‘A first real rebellion (& more to come)’, it’s on ao3 and my username is theresastarmanwaitinginthesky.

Thomas spent most of free pass drowning himself.

So they could but Robin doesn’t seam to understand that he can’t died (he spends most of not again thinking he’s going to be killed by a bear) so I don’t think he would instinctively.

I’m not sure about Kitty I don’t think she would worry about drowning but if she did she’d name every fish then forgot all their names and rename them.

Do the ghosts need to breathe or could Kitty and Robin lay at the bottom of the lake and watch fish together?

Does anyone know how to stop myself from stimming?

How am I meant to focus on my English topic and not think about fanfic when it’s explaining AO3 (Assessment Objective 3)?

Reblog if showing your parents your Tumblr would result in a reaaaaalllly awkward holiday season.

All of the above (shh don’t tell anyone)

reblog if you get bitches, are bitchless, or are a bitch. no one will know which one is the truth

I feel the heart is the most aromantic organ. I know what your think but hear me out.

Most people associate the heart with love, and this is mainly because of the love heart shape (which is actually to do with love) has the same name as the organ.

But the shape actually originally comes from the Silphium's seedpod plant which was seen as a herb of love and sex, it was also used as an early form of birth control. The plant was the put on ancient Cyrene money.

Anyway, in reality in the brain controls love. The feeling of love is controlled by three hormones, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. The brain controls the secretion of all hormones, and the glands of all three of these hormones are in the brain (except dopamine which can come from the the hypothalamus, in the brain, and the adrenal glands, above kidneys).

In reality the only effect love has on the heart is that it can speed up your pulse (how fast the heart bets), but that is true for way to many other things for it to be considered a connection, non one every relates being scared, angry or stressed to the heart (unless for medical reasons as lots stress can cause the blood vessel to narrow).

But despite the heart (organ) having nothing to do with love, romance or sex, it is seen as such and those things are forced on it. As an aromantic person I think that’s quite relatable.
