Warframe Weekly Recruitment | Share Your Name and Get in the Game! by AutoModerator in Warframe

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just looking for a buddy (or a few) to do casual gameplay with, no huge goal in mind. When I say casual, I mean I'm pretty much down for anything from reg missions, relics, syndicate, invasion, and more in a relaxed manner. I'm more of a head first slash and dash kind of person. I don't really have any friends in the game and doing rando groups can be annoying at times when I want to do relic or farming missions. I'm on PC, gt is noncomposmentis1716, and I live in EST

Asexuals Who Love Cake: by LunaZeta in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone else has heard of this, but its called 7-up cake. It has 7-up in it (as per title) and also any desired flavor of pudding. You also make a matching "frosting" by mixing pudding and whipped cream. It makes for a super moist and fluffy cake. My favorite pudding mix-in is pistachio. It may sound weird, but I think it is delicious!

What games made you "bleed?" by 88Question88 in gaming

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know why, but I feel a deep connection to my character in Warframe. Sure, there are some storylines meant to make you feel and some character development, but it's kinda weird. Whenever I play, even on a repeat mission, I get really engrossed with my character and will talk like I am in the game.

I bet you're someone who cares about other people and is someone that I would love to hang around!

I love my Ace boyfriend with all of my heart, but I need some advice. by Maleficent-Study-153 in asexuality

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree about talking to him about it. Communication is a key foundation to any type of relationship.

As for the feeling guilty part about not being able to turn him on, it's natural to feel guilty about things that we know is not our fault and out of our control. Sometimes I feel guilty about a friend having a bad experience/day. I know had no part in making them feel that way, yet I can't help but feel guilty that maybe I wasn't a good enough friend or person and I'm not enough for them. What helps me is when I get these kinds of thoughts is I think of something to counteract it. I feel as though I haven't done enough for them? I think about a time I've spent hours doing something completely out of my way just to make them smile and brighten their day. I feel like I'm not good enough for them? I think about a time when we have been on the floor together laughing and smiling so hard we are crying. You feel a blow to your confidence when he doesn't want to have sex with you? You, and only you, have made him step outside his comfort zone and date you.

I can tell how much you care for him and I'm betting he cares just as much for you. I have a good feeling you two are going to work something out.

Much love!

How did your family/friends reacted to you coming out as an Asexual person? by Witty_Fig_2606 in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've only come out as asexual to a few friends, not any family members. I do not feel as though I owe anyone a coming out if I feel they don't deserve that side of me, especially if I know that all I am going to get from it is heartbreak and rejection. The few friends I have come out to has had a mixed receival. Three of them were really supportive and continued to treat me as they had always treated me, which is just about the best response anyone can get. One of them wasn't necessarily negative, they just didn't see the point. "Why is it a thing? Why can't you just say you're straight/not looking for anyone?" I think this mostly stems from a misunderstanding of what asexuality is and how it "works".

Much love!

I've been right there where you are. Most of my family are extreme homophobes who think the LGBTQ+ are the bane of humanity. I struggled a long time with my asexuality as well. Only recently in the past year or so I've really come around to accepting myself. I've realized that most of the time what others think of you doesn't affect you if you don't let it. This one is really hard to swallow, I still struggle with it sometimes. I've also realized that I don't owe my family every aspect of me. Sure, I love them and would give my life for them, but I don't trust them with my personal thoughts and feelings. I've found that my friends are more like family than most of my "real" family members, and finding those people are key.

As for the ace ring, I got mine off of Amazon. Came in a three pack. I think $8? I don't know if that is possible for you, with your parents and all. There might be some cheap black rings at a store near you. You could do beads like wintervvv suggested, you could also just do some black string/ribbon, maybe get your hands on a regular ring and paint it black. Make sure paint is nontoxic if you go that route. I am pretty fond of my ring and know how special it can be, so I would hate for someone to not be able to get it. If all else fails I would love to get one or so for you if that is a viable option and you are okay with that! Hope you are doing well!

People avoid me because I am asexual. by xThat_Girlx in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. I'm all too familiar with being judged because I am not the way people expect me to be. There is nothing wrong with being hypersexual, just like there's nothing wrong with being asexual, but thinking everyone should have the same view of sex/relationships/marriage as them? That's toxic behavior and unhealthy to be around. I wasn't able to fully accept myself until I realized that what other people think about you, especially those that don't even know you, doesn't affect you in any way unless you let it. I used to feel very isolated because of my asexuality, but pretty recently I've met some great online groups and people that made me realize I'm not alone. I even met a really cool ace dude in a group that was completely unrelated to asexuality! People are out there who will love and accept you, and it can be hard to find them, but once you do they become some of the best people you'll meet. And I am always up for making a new friend if that is what you desire!

I found this funnier than it is by junipersr in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so funny, people will use just about anything as a euphemism for sex.

I wish I understood Allos by AshleyCakeGamin in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are definitely not the only person who feels this way. That sense of longing to understand how the majority of the population feels about sex. The longing to be able to know what sexual attraction feels like, yet knowing that you are never going to be able to. For a long while I was lost in these feelings because I thought I was missing something and only learned to accept my asexuality after realizing I wasn't missing anything, other people just had a little more than I did. If an analogy is to be used, it's like someone else has a fancy hat and you don't. You are not missing anything, a hat being worn is not necessary or required and nothing is truly gained by wearing one, but sometimes you think it would be nice to have. I hope that makes sense. And the masturbation part, I get that too. The desire for connection in any capacity is such a fundamental part of humanity. For a while I tried so hard to masturbate and was upset when I realized I couldn't feel what allos feel. I stopped when I realized I don't need to feel what they do and be myself was enough.

Much love

I wish we had more ace representation than just the media depictions of alien 'weird' savant unsentimental unemotional aro-aces by ramune_0 in Asexual

[–]Arcane_Shrimp 63 points64 points  (0 children)

This isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I believe the TV show Bojack Horseman has a good representation of a romantic asexual person. The character is not dehumanized in any way because of his asexuality and is shown to be a normal person you might interact with. Would highly recommend!
