Yes, and I should have just said something to you rather than frustra-blogging about it, I apologize. But this is kind of important to me and actually not even…
Worry not. I’m really sorry I upset you, I know what it’s like to have that stab of ick hit you suddenly when you’ve already had ‘enough’ for the day, and I really regret I gave you one. And I 100% acknowledge asexual orientation, you were right about my motivation with that tag, I didn’t mean to say anything like that. It was a poor word choice while sleepy and hopped up on allergy medicine, so thousand apologies and I’ll absolutely choose my words better in the future. You really are a sweetheart and you’re inspiring as hell. Please keep up with everything YOU are, because you’re amazing.
Thanks so much! For all of this - the understanding, the extra kind words, future promises to do differently in the future - it’s great. :)
Especially for ‘inspiring’, which I did not realize I needed quite so badly this week! Yay, I’m glad this worked out so well.

I pulled up the longest parts of my hair so I could reshave underneath and the one side, and I ended up with a ponytail like fucking Misty from Pokemon.
asexualbenwyatt asked: Thanks for being so open and eloquent about your asexuality. It's really helping me learn where I am on the spectrum and also be okay with it. You're an inspiration and I really value you.
Aw, goodness. I made these terrible sort of pained thankful noises when I read this.
I’m so glad. What you’re saying is why I post stuff like that, it’s why I made the giant post about asexuality in fandom a while back. If I can do something to assure other people they are not broken even while I sometimes still feel like I am, and I can use my work or my fannishness as the vehicle for it, I’m glad of it.
I’m a little overwhelmed at two people calling me inspiring in the span of an hour when I have spent so much of this week feeling like a massive and useless failure, thank you so much.
