>> It's taken me a long time to find a term that actually describes me accurately without long-winded explanations, so when I chanced on "aegosexual", I had a real Bingo! moment. :)
Yay! I'm glad you found something.
I know the search routine. I've used queer, genderqueer, pansexual, and a few other things before I on the idea of metasexual. Because trying to fit my interests into an ordinary spectrum is like trying to draw a tesseract on paper. It only sort of works.
>>I completely agree. To me, asexuality is about not feeling a compulsion to engage in sex yourself. If one wanted to make a point of aegosexuality belonging into the ace spectrum, I guess one could quote this description of the aegosexual flag: "The aegosexual flag is nearly identical to the asexual flag, but it possesses a triangle with an inverted order of colors. The triangle represents a 'reverse' of asexuality, as aegosexuals are likely to be initially perceived as sexual individuals." :)
That makes sense. Way too many people think that acespec discrimination doesn't happen because acefolk are "invisible." Yeah, tell that to Valentines Day. >_<
>> Food is indeed bonding! Interestingly, my first ever and favourite fandom has food sharing, cooking and food porn of every kind all over it. I've added that PDF to my reading list; it looks very interesting, thanks! <<
Oh, what fandom? I love food pr0n. We watched School of Chocolate recently. Chocolate sculpture, with kitchen physics tricks! Only one or two of which I'd have any chance of doing, but it was so exciting to see.
>>Thanks for the invitation, but I think I've probably missed your Poetry Fishbowl by now, <<
1) It's running now. Drop by and ask for anything you want. You can just pick a square on my Valentine's Bingo if you wish.
2) But it's kinda covered already if you want to throw in with a current piece. I needed an alt-sexuality character and remembered aegosexuality, so that's what I went with.
>> plus I'm down to 3 and 4 days, respectively, to get 2 stories finished for exchanges, and I'm dragging my feet a bit. It doesn't help that I've been procrastinating by doing friending memes and commenting on meet up posts. :) *facepalm*<<
Yeah, I know how that goes.
>> I definitely stay quietly in my corner when I'm having one of those phases. There's more than enough negativity in the world, including on the internet, without adding to it by depressing someone else or risking blurting something out without a proper filter.<<
Exactly!
>> I try to get through faster by writing happy things, if I can at all manage, because that also means that, once I'm more agreeable again, I'll be returning with gifts! :D
Sometimes I write or read happy things. It is uplifting. When I'm really steamed, I write dystopic stuff or stomp on squeaky-toy characters.
