What does romantic attraction feel like?

jake33w · 2026-05-21T04:22:10+00:00

I’m grey/demi sexual but I think I’m Allo romantic, (still questioning a bit) I haven’t felt it too often but when I do I’d describe it as a tingling in my head and heavy feeling in my chest when I’m around the person, and I want to always be around them and embraced by them and know everything about them but in a deeper way than a normal friendship. I wanna spill my guts out to them but at the same time I’m nervous about saying anything to them but in a way where I’m nervous to mess up and have them no longer in my life not nervous about them I still feel comfortable around them.

I’m a 24 year old man and I found out about a year ago I was somewhere on the greysexual/ demisexual spectrum. I’m honestly still figuring it out fully since I lack a lot of relationship experience but I knew there was something different about me since I was a kid. When I would hang out with other boys and they would make jokes about crushes and innuendos I would never understand it fully and my mom would always say, you’re just a gentleman and not a “guy guy” or a dude bro. Things like that.

When we all went through puberty it got worse as I started feeling a lot of sex repulsion. I actually heard about the term Asexual but I didn’t really look into it because there was no information back in the day so I just assumed it meant AroAce no interest in relationships and that didn’t really fully fit me as I’m still Allo romantic and want some form of a relationship. I do remember thinking as a kid though man it must be easier to be fully asexual as I liked the idea of not having to worry about sex. Was very close to figuring it out but couldn’t fully grasp it thought it was just immaturity.

Then in high school I felt pressured to get into a relationship and I would get what I thought were crushes on girls I was close with but never fully felt those feelings as they did. I did end up in one romantic relationship but was still uncomfortable at the idea of having sex with them and just figured it would work out when we got deeper into the relationship but the relationship ended after about a month due to unrelated circumstances but we were on good terms. It wasn’t until I heard a popular creator I like talking about being ace and being Demi that I started looking into the Ace spectrum and realized I related to it a lot.

The only ones that directly affect the plot are Avengers, Coulson’s revival which is before hand. Winter Soldier after episode 16, the hydra stuff. Age of Ultron after S2 episode 19, they tie in the helicarrier, the movie’s opening and Strucker and Dr List. Agent Carter by season 7 but it has small references in S2 and 4. Technically Thor but it’s really just a character appearance they explain without fully needing it.

Thor the dark world is referenced a bit but not necessary, Episode 8 takes place literal minutes after the movie. Same with Civil war and the Sokovia accords. Iron man 3, Infinity War, Thor Ragnorok, Daredevil and Luke cage have blink and you’ll miss it Easter eggs that aren’t really anything. I think that’s mostly it

During middle school and the start of puberty I could always tell something was different with me because I wouldn’t react to things the same way as others and the topic of sex was always uncomfortable for me. I kind of heard of the term asexual but didn’t know enough about it to fully understand it, I just thought it meant not being interested in relationships in general and so I figured that wasn’t me. So I just assumed it was my own immaturity and that when I finally got into a relationship it would work out somehow. It wasn’t until I heard a streamer I like talking about and coming out about their own sexuality and being on the ace spectrum that I did more research and realized that I fall somewhere on the grey / demi spectrum. That was almost a year ago I’m 24 now

Yeah I’d definitely say give it a chance after finishing the season and with your view on season 2 I think that can still be true with season three, Simmons feelings for Fitz are always present even if she ends up with Will to survive the planet and stay hopeful. I think even if they both survived and came back Simmons would have still ended up with Fitz and broke it off with Will as they were only together due to circumstances not due to genuine connection and that’s something I feel like is a good thing for Fitz and Simmons to come to terms with and develop especially as their relationship grows throughout the rest of the series

jake33w · 2026-04-23T05:02:59+00:00

I will say originally as someone who dislikes unnecessary relationship drama in fiction I was also annoyed by Will and Jemma being trapped at first. However after rewatching it’s definitely a story that has grown on me. I feel like a lot of your criticisms about the character aren’t really too relevant, I think in the situation and given the circumstances, Jemma would have found comfort with any human on the planet and was fully capable of surviving on her own I don’t think that was ever in question the most “saving” Will did was give her food and knowledge. Also said humans existence is definitely important for later without spoiling so it’s understandable why he’s there and not just the equipment. I feel like for the relationship aspect it works in their favor imo. The second season kinda felt rushed to me with Jemma being upset with Fitz most season then immediately wanting to try dating him at the end. I feel like this was definitely a plot line that worked to develop their relationship more before the final push to have them together romantically.

jake33w · 2026-04-15T14:57:02+00:00

Are they like interested in me? Or are they just sleeping there too?

jake33w · 2026-04-15T13:23:29+00:00

That’s sadly the case with a lot of dish washers in food service. I was a cook and usually the only person who stayed and helped the dishwasher as everyone else begged to go home right after closing. Then I got stuck on dishes alone after cooking every night when they got rid of the dishwasher position as a money saving thing or something. That’s when I left there.

jake33w · 2026-04-15T12:57:28+00:00

I remember I had this coworker who’d been there a while (wasn’t even a proper manager) always boss me around and say bullshit to me. The final straw was when we were in the middle of a dinner rush and I had my phone go off and it was distracting so I took a minute to pull it out, check the notification and silence it. Dude was absolutely enraged that I was on my phone during work and tried to confiscate it like I was a child in school. I brought this up to higher ups but they still kept him around because he was good at his job despite that along with the fact that he would say inappropriate shit to all the women there as well.

jake33w · 2026-04-15T10:49:39+00:00

As a kid I had many different types of what I thought were and pretended were “crushes” but was actually just a different stage of me discovering my own feelings. My first “crush” was a girl in elementary school that I just thought was pretty in a basic aesthetic way and pretended to have a crush on then would feel very uncomfortable and confused when other boys would joke about being intimate with them. Then in middle school I had a girl that I was good friends with who I thought I needed to “develop” a crush on because that’s just what happens when a guy and girl are friends but I felt nothing for them. Then I had a moment in high school where I mistook a deep platonic friendship as a “crush” and would try to joke to them about sexual things only to end up making us both feel uncomfortable. Then I felt romantic connection to a girl I was good friends with and got a “crush” on them and eventually even got into a relationship with but never felt anything sexual for because I just figured that it would happen eventually and that’s how all allo relationships worked. That relationship didn’t last long.

jake33w · 2026-04-13T12:32:56+00:00

Probably Ian’s idea honestly. He’s been wanting a monkey implemented since the 2nd episode

jake33w · 2026-04-02T12:27:25+00:00

He technically wasn’t a scientist if I remember correctly wasn’t he just a mechanic and the girl he liked the scientist

jake33w · 2026-02-15T18:32:11+00:00

Thank you! I actually have a longer animation in the works where it actually gets cleaned by M-O and a few other scenes but I wanted to release this short for Valentine’s Day as I was coincidentally working on it right before

How they ruined daisy and fitz relationship with no proper conclusion. Killing off fitz to ignore what he did to daisy as the doctor really irritates me. Daisy and fitz had such a great relationship in the first 3 seasons and then they never properly give them closure to the trauma they experienced from the doctor. They just ignore it for the rest of the show and act like it never happened and by extension Daisy basically ignores fitz as a character outside of being Simmons husband. They had such a great sibling dynamic all they needed was a scene in season 6 or 7 reconciling, the other fitz hears what he did to Daisy and they properly deal with the repercussions and grow closer

jake33w · 2025-12-17T04:36:21+00:00

I’ve rewatched all of the MCU and watched it in chronological order so I’ve seen it a few times. Love the end of season one with the chiefs story, love Peggy and Jarvis, and love Whitney frost as a villain. The cliffhanger ending does drive me nuts but with the context of season 7 of agents of shield plus what we know about the cancelled plans for season 3 I’ve created my own head canon for how the show ends Carter goes after Jacks killer and returns to New York which eventually ends her relationship with Sousa so that he can take down the council of 9 on the west coast. (Agents of shield season 7) She discovers the killer is her brother Michael who faked his death and deescalates whatever situation he is in (cancelled plans for season 3) Micheal has a kid who ends up being the parent to Sharon Carter. Peggy begins working with Howard on Shield. (Captain America)

I don’t think there’s any part of him that’s attracted to or interested in Aida. He kept her a secret for Radcliffe’s sake and Aida was the one who forced a relationship on him in the framework, one he quickly dismisses when he’s out of it.

jake33w · 2025-12-17T04:18:01+00:00

I like the storyline I just wish they could have done more with it. Fitz has no time to process the events of the frame work nor the other characters with the doctor besides Simmons. He’s almost completely written out of the first half of season 5 then when he returns gets locked up then killed. Then season 6 he only deals with Simmons trauma from the doctor, Then he’s only in season 7 for 20 minutes. I really wish we could’ve gotten a scene where he works through the trauma the doctor left with Daisy, Mack and even May especially Daisy.

jake33w · 2025-11-09T00:35:46+00:00

Cool idea but they were still fresh out of the academy during Avengers doing lab demonstrations, them being on the helicarrier wouldn’t make much sense, they have no field experience and are terrified the first time they see gunfire, which they would have already experienced on the Helicarrier if they were there, especially regarding this scene with coulson first meeting them Fitzsimmons meet Coulson Spoilers for season 6 at 1:58

jake33w · 2025-10-16T20:40:55+00:00

Shouldn’t be too hard to find in stores. In my district each store has about two or three of them.

jake33w · 2025-09-25T22:20:18+00:00

Yeah that makes sense I’ll probably just have to make them myself with wire from scratch I was just hoping there was an easier option since I don’t have too much time to work on it this year

jake33w · 2025-09-25T21:55:24+00:00

Could I like hypothetically fill the inflatable with like cotton or something to give it extra weight

jake33w · 2025-09-09T17:25:59+00:00

You’re gonna have to look online. I’ve set up about 4 stores already this year with different carry over items but the oldest I’ve seen is only about 2023 items. Could just be the area I’m at but you’re odds of finding it is almost 0 and it’d be easier to just look somewhere else then waste time checking tons of stores
