    I don't watch a ton of anime so I can't say.

    For Syl however that's just how the bond works.

    We see similar things with Pattern, Timbre, Design, and the Stormfather, all of whom are adults by their standards.

    The defense tends to be “No see, this girl who looks 13 is actually a 3,000 year old fairy, it’s totally fine”

    Sure
    I’d have the same issue if Shallan got with Pattern, Venli with Timbre, or Hoid with Design

    I am firmly against Syladin, but who's the child in this one?

    Because Syl is like two-thousand years older than Kaladin.

    In technicality, not mentality or development 

    When they first met and for a while afterwards, she’s for all intents and purposes a child

    That feels like the same defense anime fans tend to use

    have yall ever like taken (vague) love songs as platonic? ‘Cause a lot of them have some good messages/lyrics that work with platonic love and I do so enjoy taking them as that

    Not aro but yeah

    I take Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol to be a celebration of not needing a romantic partner to feel happy or fulfilled 
    And either only needing your own company or that of friends

    I have recently discovered I feel sensual attraction (is that how it works) very strongly. I guess as some people would say it, physical touch is my love language.

    I like hugs, and just the physical confirmation I am near some body. But most of my friends are introverts who don't like physical touch, which I try to respect, but I just don't do it so much that it has made my behavior kinda erratic.

    It's always complicated. You could be demibiromantic/asexual.

    I have found that searching for labels is always painful if you can't find the right one, and labels as a whole are stupid, but being without them can also be hard.

    Yeah it’s more of a secondary thing 
    I’m not going through a crisis or anything but I would like to know

    My Lady

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

     

    We built it up in fun and games

    With wood and clay, wood and clay

    And before they could wash away

    Oh my fair lady

    We built it up with bricks and mortar

    But they’re just weights upon our shoulders

    We built this bridge with bricks and mortar

    Oh my fair lady

     

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

     

    What if we tried with iron and steel

    Iron and steel, iron and steel

    They’d bend and bow, so says the story

    My fair lady

    They say that there lies silver and gold

    Across the bridge, make that our goal

    We’ll cross the bridge for silver and gold

    My fair lady

     

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

     

    There sits a man who guards all night

    There’s silver and gold dying in the sky

    And some things I won’t try to fight

    Oh my fair lady

     

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

     

    The guard just sits and smokes his pipe

    I watch the fading dying light

    The sun’s below the horizon

    My fair lady

    I watch the smoke rise from the pipe

    Watch the fire flare and die

    Sun is setting one last time

    My fair lady

     

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady

    London Bridge is falling down

    Falling down, falling down

    London Bridge is falling down

    My fair lady, my fair lady

    London Bridge is falling down

    Oh my fair lady

    Unfathomably peak

  6. This is just something I wrote right now

    If it doesn’t make very much sense I apologize 

    I’m really tired and running a fever

    It’s mostly just an explosion of thought

    Also note that this isn’t addressed to anyone here
    It’s aimed at another group of people

    Spoiler

    All of it is meaningless. All of it is the same. I see a collage of images all washed in sepia, dull, insipid, safe. I hear the scraping of a vinyl, always turning, always turning, always turning. What does it play? The Beatles, The Smiths, Buckley, whatever band is trending on TikTok this week. Beside it lays a scattering of books; Dostoyevsky, Austen, Kafka. Is this it? Is this how we measure humanity and life and value? How many words you’ve read on how many pages of how many books? I see pretension wearing the face of maturity, endless dronings on about philosophy and the nature of the universe. Don’t you know that if you read enough books, quote enough scholars, and speak constantly while saying nothing, you can run away from 16? You have a habit of connecting logic with feelings and feelings with logic but you don’t think long enough or feel deeply enough to realize that’s a basic function of human existence, not a trophy that makes you special. Again the ceaseless spinning.
    There is a light that never goes out.
    There is a light that never goes out.
    There is a light that never goes out.
    And me, why I’m the worst out of all of you. What do I do? I sit and I watch and I don’t act. I analyze all of you, pinpoint your flaws and ridicule them with a burning mind. The gadfly that spreads disease with its bite and thinks itself so very clever. The critic with the pen cutting a dream, a life, a heart. Not deeply enough to kill, but enough to leave a wound that bleeds for several minutes before healing in a thin white scar before vanishing altogether. Blind me, burn me, break my pen.  Beauty cannot exist without decay and destruction and pain. How quaint of you. Look away from your books, your thinkers, your art. Look to your mirror, your window, into the black fire with all of its infinite color. See the light which never goes out flicker, tremble against the night. And tell me Eleanor Rigby, who will cry over your headstone when the graveyard has been overtaken by moss? Who will whisper that once, very long ago, you thought one candle, your candle, could light the world?

    (Yes Coder I know I should add paragraphs and indentation)

  7. Howdy folks
    I’m not entirely sure what I am or if I even belong here

    First I thought I was straightforwardly bi, then I thought I was biromantic/asexual, then demisexual
    And now I really have no idea

    I’ve been trying to do some research to varying degrees of success 
    As best I can tell, I experience both romantic and sensual attraction but have little to no interest in sex itself 
    And romantic/sensual attraction only with people I’ve already known for a long time and already gotten close to 
    So
    Yeah 
    I don’t know lol

    It’s complicated

    Hmmm

    informed, yes

    brainrusted, no

    i have daily Christian perspective podcast you probably would hate, Albert Mohler, and that’s about it

    i make my own decisions and the athiest right wing hate cults are not for me

    too political though lets not get banned

    I have to question 

    You consider yourself an ally

    And you listen to Albert Mohler regularly 

    The same Albert Mohler who’s rap sheet includes but is not limited to
    1: Decrying a memorial for a trans activist
    2: Saying in regard to trans folks, “we cannot affirm someone in a delusion”
    3: Opposing the repealing of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” which banned openly queer Americans from the military
    4: Opposing birth control for women 
    5: Proclaiming that married couples who choose not to have children are rebelling against God’s order
    6: Being so thoroughly opposed to gay marriage that he signed the Manhattan Declaration, a document calling Christians to fight against queer and reproductive rights among other things. The Catholic Church had a significant hand in writing the Manhattan Declaration, and so emphatic was his opposition to queer/reproductive rights that he signed on despite believing the Catholic Church to be “a false church” and that accepting their doctrine would be to “compromise Biblical truth”
    7: Proclaiming that Muslims are motivated by demonic power
    8: Supporting America converting the people of Iraq to Christianity in the style of old colonial powers

    I know there’s a policy against politics
    I respect that
    I would argue that this isn’t politics
    Politics is discussing where to send foreign aid
    Politics is discussing to what degree regulations should be implemented on the private sector
    Politics is debating big vs small government 

    This is not politics 
    The ability of two consenting adults to marry and choose whether or not to have children is not politics 
    Women’s access to reproductive care is not politics
    Freedom of religion, all religion, is not politics
    The ability of trans folks to exist is not politics 
    These are basic human rights

    And an ally who listens to someone like Albert Mohler is 
    Concerning

    Well, I'm lesbian, and am attracted to some enbies, ones that are more feminine leaning.

    Anyway nah a bisexual can like enbies. The difference between bi and pan is basically: Do you like boys and girls and enbies, or do you like people regardless of gender?

     

    Spoiler

    Or do you think the flag looks cool
