My coworkers and "smash or pass?"

Some of my coworkers really like to play this game about various celebrities and fictional characters, and for a while I had a lot of fun just answering "pass" whenever they asked me. Sometimes it would be someone extremely traditionally attractive and they'd all be blown away that I wasn't interested.

A couple of days ago I finally gave in and came out to them, and now they've given me an alternate definition for smash, of "play Super Smash Bros with," and suddenly this game actually makes sense to me for the first time ever??? I don't even like Smash Bros but that's besides the point - all I'm supposed to do is look at a picture of whoever they're talking about and decide if they have friendly and welcoming vibes or not, and I can't help but wonder if that's similar to how the allos decide who they'd like to "smash"

I came out as demisexual a few months ago but have since realized that's uh.. not really accurate. I haven't even told my friends this yet but I'm sitting here on my lunch break a few days after coming to terms with being fully asexual and I just want to *tell people.* I'll get a chance to talk to my friends later tonight but... for now, internet strangers will have to do.

I guess that's all I have to say? I'm just... really really excited to leave compulsory sexuality behind and focus on the things that I *genuinely* care about when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Sex just isn't one of em. I'm proud of myself for continuing to learn things and grow, and.. idk. I'm just happy about this

I don't think anything before or since has perfectly captured the same feeling that they do in the same way that they do. Seeing their one-show reunion at Less Alone Fest last year was one of my favorite ever experiences with live music
