Hello those of you still paying attention to this blog! I’m pretty sure I actually have more followers here than ever, so I’m sure at least some of you will see this and take interest.
Since starting college about two years ago, I’ve gone on many hiatuses, all followed by lengthy explanations with apologies and promises to do better. I’m not going to feed you that crap again, to put it bluntly.
Here’s what I am going to say.
I still plan on opening an etsy shop and selling my cranes. I’m kinda considering expanding it to more than just mini origami cranes, and including commissions for tiny portraits and such. In case you don’t remember, my crane-making started because of an art class in high school a few years ago. I was an AP art student and my specialty was tiny drawings, the smallest being 2in x 4in.
(guess which drawing marks the beginning of the crane projects?)
Anyway I am still waiting on my friend to help me work out the business aspects of the etsy shop so I can start selling. I’m honestly considering getting someone else to help me because I’ve been waiting for months but whatever. Anyway yeah I just wanted to let you all know that this is still a thing.
Also don’t repost my pictures or remove my caption, seeing as those are two of my very best tiny drawings. Thanks.
Sorry for the self-promotion, but I’m just gonna leave this here. I’M SORRY
Like, I fit so many different stereotypes but none of the stereotypes I fit actually apply to me. So when people don’t know that I’m asexual they try so hard to figure out what exactly I am because I don’t strike many people as heterosexual.
Then when they find out that I’m asexual, you can practically see the pieces connect in their heads as their eyes widen and their jaws drop in that “ohhh!” moment where suddenly everything makes sense.
I dunno, it really entertains me watching people try to pinpoint what I am, especially when they clearly don’t realize that I know what they’re doing.
I’m surprised nobody has ever asked me about this even once since I made this blog and I can’t stop myself from wondering what you guys think about the seemingly pointless extra letter.
Like/reblog or send me a message if you want to know the secret behind it, and if I get enough likes/reblogs/messages, I’ll post the origin story of that extra A!
((I’m trying to think of something to post so I’m going to use this as some comic relief while I think))
I take my grammar very seriously.
Can you not be ace, but and then later in the future become an Ace? Like, can someone want sex and stuff(not with any particular person in specific) but later in the future think what they wanted in the past was gross and don't experience any sexual attraction?
Totally
Is there a term for being asexual but being aesthetically attracted to guys and girls (not romantically)?
There’s no specific term for that (that I’m aware of), but it’s pretty common for asexuals to be aesthetically attracted to people. Just because we don’t experience sexual attraction it doesn’t mean we can't experience aesthetic attraction :D
I didn’t see any of you guys at Long Beach Pride yesterday (not surprising, but it would’ve been nice), so I thought I’d share with you all a picture from yesterday of yours truly :) It’s cropped weirdly because it’s a picture with one of my former classmates from my first semester of college that I ran into there who also happened to be ace. I didn’t want to post her face out of respect for her privacy.
Anyway this is me repping my ace pride! Happy belated Asexual Pride Day!
I’ve decided to keep submissions open permanently! I’m going to add more tags for you guys to use, but from now on you can submit anything original (and related to asexuality) to be posted here! Have fun and keep it ace!
Happy Ace Storytime! ☺ I'm 22 and at the beginning of our relationship my partner noticed that I wasn't enthusiastic about sex (we had and still have sex, but I never initiate it) 😅 One day he told me that he came across asexuality on the internet and that it "sounded a lot like me", so I was like "yeah, because that's what I am". He was really curious about the whole "no sexual attraction"-thing, understanding and relieved that my lack of libido wasn't his fault 😂 (C)
C On the 16th we’re in a 1 year (monogamous!) relationship. Lesson of the whole story? You will find someone who’s taking you seriously and accept you the way you are. Also, you can be ace and in a sexual relationship without being less valid. And it’s not just “a phase” or “lack of maturity” that will go away during adulthood. Have a great day!
I posted this on my ace blog already, but this is my subtle pride. ( @ambidextrousace)
Here’s a scarf I started making near the start of the year. It’s still in the process, though it has kind of gone on the back burner recently. But anyway, I thought I’d share!
To celebrate, I will be opening up submissions for happy ace stories, ace selfies, ace art, etc.!!! If you have anything, and I mean ANYTHING (text, photo, drawing, whatever!) that represents asexual pride, please submit it!!!
Do I even have any Long Island followers? I don’t know. ANYWAY if you ARE a follower from Long Island and are going to Pride on Long Beach today, TRY TO FIND ME!!!
I’m going to the parade and carnival at Long Beach today, and if you’re there, you should look out for me!
How will you recognize me?
I’ll be wearing a dark grey crop top with skinny jeans that have two (unintended) rips on the right knee. I’ll also be wearing a black ring on my right middle finger!!!
I hope to see some of you there!!!
Also, HAPPY ASEXUAL PRIDE DAY!!!!!!
MY FRIEND INVITED ME TO A PRIDE PARADE TOMORROW BUT I OWN ALMOST NOTHING PURPLE
ALL I HAVE IS FELT IN THE ACE COLORS, STRING, NO SEWING MACHINE BUT IM GOOD AT SEWING BY HAND, FABRIC PAINT, AND IDK MAYBE SOME OLD FABRIC I CAN USE ???
CAN SOME CRAFTY PEOPLE HELP ME OUT PLEASE THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
Alright so despite being terrible at being active here, I am 100% aware that it’s pride month and that this Sunday (6/10) is Ace Pride Day.
I want to celebrate with you guys!
I don’t know exactly how to go about doing that, but I’m going to throw some ideas out there and I would absolutely love for you guys to share your own with me. Seriously, please tell me how you’d like us to celebrate.
My ideas:
PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK!!!!!!!! I WANT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THESE IDEAS AND SHARE IDEAS OF YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!
I’m surprised nobody has ever asked me about this even once since I made this blog and I can’t stop myself from wondering what you guys think about the seemingly pointless extra letter.
Like/reblog or send me a message if you want to know the secret behind it, and if I get enough likes/reblogs/messages, I’ll post the origin story of that extra A!

OKAY, THE REASON THERE IS AN EXTRA “A” IN THE URL IS.......
...
(Regarding the extra a): You're doing the thing by which English speakers repeat a word twice to clarify it's a "real" or "genuine" or in some cases "extra" version of the word. For instance, "milk milk" (emphasis on the first 'milk') would suggest cow milk - what is the most commonly used definition of milk, or "real" milk, as opposed to almond milk, etc. So, A Asexual Cake Universe is like A-Asexual. As in legit, super ace. ✌
Huh. That’s a better explanation than the one I have. I should start using that from now on.
