Hey: Split Attraction Model

ace-times-three:

I feel like people are confused, honestly, about what exactly is the split attraction model.

The split attraction model is NOT:
½ orientation + ½ orientation = Full orientation

The split attraction model IS:
Orientation + orientation = personal orientation.

Yea, I’m aware the math doesn’t make sense at face value. But this is how it works. I’m asexual and panromantic.

My orientation is asexual. My orientation is also panromantic.

My split attraction is panromantic asexual. I am an asexual who is romantically attracted to most/all genders.

My asexuality is not dependent on my panromanticism. My panromanticism is not dependent on my asexuality.

It’s not “part of one plus part of another”
It’s “these two orientations both describe my feelings”.

Ok. This is for all the Drarry nerds out there. Imagine:

First year:

Harry had learned long ago to wear long sleeves to hide his wrist in fear of being bullied for having both male names on his wrist. Once both Dudley and Harry had been old enough to understand the concept of morals, homosexuality, and shame, Dudley had joined on his parents’ bandwagon of shaming Harry for having both male names. So, Harry hid his wrists.

Harry had heard tales that for the most part, you wouldn’t find either of the people on your wrist until you were 20+, so he didn’t worry about either. A problem for later.

But here he was, in front of the Grand hall waiting for Professor McGonagall to call them in for sorting, and this Draco Malfoy prat was quickly making himself an enemy. As soon as he heard the name, “My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.”, Harry felt chills down his back as he knew he’d found one of his wrist prophecies. At only eleven.

He stared at both his best friend, Ronald, and his newfound enemy, Malfoy, bite at each other, subtly looking at his left wrist, at the fancy name written in fancy calligraphy, and then looking at the blond git in front of him.

Later that night, in the privacy of his four-poster bed, he lifted both his sleeves to look at his new enemy, Draco Malfoy, on his left wrist and his future husband, Tom Riddle, on his right wrist. He felt, maybe, a little better, now that there was less guessing.

I need a Firefly reboot where Kaylee and Inara are openly bi and in a polyamorous relationship.

Like, Inara telling Kaylee about her latest client who did something VERY nice and Kaylee saying “I can do that too.”

Kaylee kissing Inara goodnight before going to sleep in Jayne’s room.

Simon getting all flustered when Kaylee and Inara invite him into their bedroom.

The only time they don’t talk about their other partners is when Inara sleeps with Mal because Kaylee doesn’t need to know what her captain is like in bed.

Time blindness is the weirdest aspect of executive dysfunction and so weird as an experience to live with.

It’s like you see the clock, the clock says 3pm, you look at the clock again and it’s 3:02, then 3:05, and then you look again and it’s 8pm and WHAT THE FUCK.

You don’t even need hyperfocus. But hyperfocus is like the Warp Speed:tm: version cause when that hits, it’s 3pm and then it’s the next day and why is the sun rising and when did i last eat and oh god i need to use the bathroom. And oh, also, you’re EXHAUSTED. The act of your brain tunnel visioning on something drains you (but that’s another topic).

Time blindness is…. having the general knowledge that today is Wednesday, and you need to do something on Thursday. Thursday is logically tomorrow, but the mysterious void of time is like ‘that’s like next week or something.’ 

It’s knowing you have to do something in three weeks on the 21st. And as the days creep closer, the 21st is stuck in a constant state of still being 3 weeks away, despite the fact it’s now tomorrow.

It’s wild. ADHD is literally living in a constant state of “There is Now. And there is Later.” and there’s no in between; no dates, no times; no hours, weeks, or months. It’s just Now and Later, and oh god why is is X o’clock already!?

ACTUALLY the reason I want my books to do well is so I can buy merchandise of them. Clothing, pins, posters, body pillows, fan art, the whole lot. Money? Cool. Seeing my work in bookstores? Neat-o. Buying twelve shirts with my protagonist on them and crying because I love them? That’s the stuff.
