You ever just read MCR lyrics and have a moment because yeah you listen to those songs all the fucking time, but you don’t listen and hear the pain and the hope and the genius behind every fucking lyric. “Don’t you breathe for me.” “I say it’s okay, I know you can tell.” Those aren’t the soundbite lyrics, the ones that get tattooed and put on lyric edits, but they’re raw and fucking incredible. Gerard Way is a prodigy.

anyways i miss the yogscast fandom. not the yogscast themselves. i still watch a lot of their stuff semi-regularly.

what i miss is the hype of the fandom that mainly started during the tekkit era and faded off at the end of the complete pack. remember when that episode of flux buddies 2.0 came out teasing lalnable and there were a million posts and theories freaking out about it? remember the iconic “what’s yours is ours, strife.” moment in hatcorp? remember the rivalry between sips co and jaffafactory? the entiretly of blackrock? the first rocket launch in moonquest? the unnerving xephos from yoglabs that made the story have so much more meaning? remember how even non-yogscast members like lyinginbedmon, kirindave, etc, were still super appreciated in the fandom and treated like members themselves content wise. all the art and fics produced after each episode of anything.

i get it. interests fade, people move on from shows they liked. and i know there’s amazing people STILL producing content now and then- and i love you. but the comparison of what the fandom was then to what it is now saddens me. it’s not people’s fault for leaving, and it’s not the yogscast’s fault for producing different content. i just wish things could become something more than just a minecraft series again.

I LIVE for this statement. Preach.

I really have to wonder if everyone I see relentlessly mocking ace people under the guise of “oh we only mean cishet aces” realizes or cares how badly it affects the rest of us. Like, Pride is supposed to be a time for celebration and togetherness, but for me and most if not all of the other aces I know (NONE of whom are heteroromantic and most of whom are trans) it’s become this huge source of stress and anxiety and depression. We’re constantly seeing this integral part of who we are ridiculed and it leaves us having to second-guess EVERY single post that celebrates one part of our identity out of fear that it’s coming from someone who hates another part of it. As an nb ace it’s already an uncomfortably familiar feeling. Are we really just acceptable casualties to you?

It took me so, so long to even figure out I liked girls in the first place because every wlw I knew experienced that attraction differently than I did – whenever they talked about how they figured it out, it didn’t reflect my experience at all, so I just kept thinking “oh, that can’t be me, then.” To this day I still struggle with thoughts like “oh god what if they’re right what if I’ve really been faking it this whole time?” When all of you constantly make ace synonymous with “embarrassing,” “fake/temporary,” “cishet,” or even “homophobic” – when you make it something to be ashamed of – you’re making it that much harder for everyone going through that to discover and accept who we are. “Cishet” aces make up a very small percentage of asexuals (I saw someone say it was 1% of all aces but I can’t find a source for that so take that with a grain of salt) – regardless of whether or not you think they “count,” is this crusade you’ve got going really worth hurting the rest of us so badly? Please, help me understand.
