So apparently its International Asexuality day so I doodled this to celebrate that.
I am what I am and that's all cool an' stuff.
I've often wondered if being Ace means I get extra thinking time in my head, like if im not thinking about sex I have time to ponder the important stuff like Why don’t crabs have eyebrows or If the sun is on fire, why is there no smoke? You know super important stuff like that

Welcome to the ace club. The cake is right around the corner and the guests are playing cards in the kitchen (did I come up with enough ace puns yet?)
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOO ONE OF US
Well the sun technically isn't on fire, it produces heat and light through fusion, but as this still produces a chemical I suppose the question is still valid. Anyway the answer is kinda... There is. There is a bunch of helium in the sun as a result of fusion.
And if you think about it, why would you think there is no smoke on the sun? The sun is huge and produces enough light to turn night into day, how would you be able to see any smoke if there were any? On earth, when we see smoke we don't see it in the fire, we see it near or above the fire, but you can't really have that on the sun, so where would this smoke go other than back into the sun?

Hate to be the "technically" person but "technically" the sun isn't on fire.
And.
Also it's hydrogen, hydrogen doesn't produce carbon when it burns, and you need carbon for smoke, so hydrogen produces a smokeless flame. I'm not ace, I'm complete trash, but I'm trash that is obsessed with sciences x.x

You mean they got it wrong? The sun *isn't* a mass of incandescent gas? It's more a.... Miasma of plasma?
Silly star
The sun isn't on fire, it's a hydrogen bomb that been going off for over 4.8 billion years and will eventually will engolf us all in it embrace
The sun isn't on fire, it's a hydrogen bomb that been going off for over 4.8 billion years and will eventually will engolf us all in it embrace
It wont engulf us all in its embrace... We will be driven off of earth (likely by extinction) about 7 billion yrs before the Sun actually expands to the pt of envelopin the earth, and 5 billion yrs before the expansion begins to rly burn away the very layers of the earth.
For comparison, the worlds ocean will likely be evaporated around a billion yrs from now; so thats like 4-6 billion yrs of earth bein mostly devoid of any life, and def devoid of human life

Pretty sure the sun will do the expansion 4 billion years from now and only then will the oceans boil, no clue where you got your dates from but they all wrong and over the place
The sun isn't technically on fire, it's a bit of a misnomer in how we speak about it. The sun produces its heat through nuclear fusion which doesn't produce smoke, and the light it produces is due to its heat. A bit like when a piece of metal is so hot that it turns red, orange, white, etc.
Now, some species of crabs do have eyebrows or at least structures that are similar to them. Ultimately though, they just don't need them since they mainly exist on us either to keep debris, sweat, and water from coming down into our eye (which crabs don't need since they spend so much time underwater anyway) or to help us signal emotion to one another (which crabs likely have other ways of doing this.)

Another Important Question. If Airs So Important, Why Cant We See It?
((And In My Opinion, I Dont Care Who You Are. You Be Who You Want To Be, Thats All Thats Important))
It water is so important to fish, why cant they see it?
Bcuz they evolved in the water and thus evolved to not see all the water thats all around them and envelopin them; they evolved in that environment and thus adapted to get used to the surroundings bein as they are.
If a fish evolved to visibly take notice of the water around them, they wud be at a massive disadvantage bcuz itd be like walkin around in a rly thick fog; as the water is literally everywhere
We are just like the fish, but with air.
Any species that adapted to see the air wud be at a huge disadvantage bcuz they wudnt be able to see anythin but a thick fog of the visible air they can see
(Tho, thats all as opposed to takin notice of the air currents, which is smth that many flyin species have figured out; just like swimmin fish can find the oceans super highways (currents that travel much faster that let them travel quickly across the globe))

Would anyone be willing to help me understand ACE? I dont think I quite understand it. I thought it was like people who dont like sex dont want sex, but Ive seen ace people have sex so I think Im misunderstanding
Ace people might have sex because they want to make their partner happy. I have sex for that reason. But it's more like a chore like doing the dishes. Id rather not do it but knowing my partner likes it, I'll do it for them.
Ace people can also have a libido but it doesn't nesecarily involve people. Like I would happily never ever have sex again but diapers turn me on so will happily wank to fantasies involving those

If my partner told me sex with me felt like a chore I would be devastated :( I guess it would take a lot of explanation, and careful conversation.
Yeah, my ex girlfriend told me that my lack of desire for sex made her feel unattractive, so I sympathize.
Yeah likewise my ex was as she described, a nymphomaniac, so she was looking for sex pretty much constantly and would get super upset when I wasn't Lusting after her, I tried multiple times to explain that I had never lusted after anyone but she would take it super personal that I wasnt jumping her bones every hour, we meshed on all other levels apart from the sex thing
I'm glad I'm not the only one who went through that. I really felt like a failure of a boyfriend... And like you, I meshed really well otherwise with my partner. I didn't really know what asexuality was back then, or I could have at least tried to explain that I was ace and not into sex.
Its not a you thing tho. Its not that sex *with you* feels like a chore; its that sex, period, feels like a chore
Like, my own ace self will be turned off at the actual possibility of sex; so when i have tried it in the past... Its always just my libido shuts down, regardless of the person or the circumstances
I can still manage it with the right toys and such, but its not gonna give me the same satisfaction as sex wud for an allosexual (non-asexual). Instd, my satisfaction from sex is derived from the compersion i feel at bein able to make a partner i care about feel happier/better
If im willin to have sex with someone, nowadays at least since understandin my asexuality better, its bcuz i want to do this thing for my partner(s); but theres lots of other things i want to do for my partner(s) that can and do feel like a chore...
Bcuz thats just relationships, sometimes you do things to maintain them even if it takes more energy and time from you; as long as you got that time and energy to give.

That 2nd part describes me as well. Granted, context and situation matters whether the diaper-related stuff makes me go "awww," makes me little, or makes me wanna...do what you said.
Yeah I have two very distinct sides to me, the sorta mentally regressed headspace of theraputic littleness where sex is like the furthest thing from my mind, where i just wanna be safe and loved and cherished.
Then theres adult me being humiliated and forced into baby stuff which is the turn on kinky side of me.
The two sides of me dont mix so little regressed me will never come into contact with kinky me

I don't want to echo BabyStar, but she basically is right on the money. Ace is "Asexual", i.e. "without sex", meaning you don't really like sexual intercourse. It does nothing for you to have sex and is just unsatisfying. I had a girlfriend once who was hypersexual though, and I would have sex with her every day and then some, but I didn't really enjoy that aspect of our relationship and just did it to make her happy. But I do rub one out in a diaper pretty regularly because diapers are a turn-on for me. Some asexuals who like diapers will refer to themselves as "diapersexual", but it's more like a tongue in cheek word meant more to reference a preference for diapers than a serious sexuality (some people do take some offense to the word, but it's meant to be lighthearted).
Yes Asexual means "no sex", but the "sex" part refers to biological sex ,nit sexual intercourse. Homosexual means "same sex", and heterosexual means "different sex" for this reason.
Strictly speaking, it means "no sexual attraction", like how homosexual means "sexual attraction exclusively to members of the same sex" and heterosexual means "sexual attraction exclusively to members of the opposite sex", bisexual means "sexual attraction strictly to two sexes", and pansexual means "sexual attraction to all sexes". It describes what sex you're attracted to, and in this case asexuals are attracted to no sexes. This applies to your desire for intercourse, as the kind of person you're attracted to sexually is also someone you want to have sex with, by definition. I'm not attracted to someone's body and thus have no sexual desire to have intercourse, so I'm asexual. So yes, it does have something to do with sexual intercourse; it describes the kind of person you are attracted to, and this attraction is born out in a desire for sexual intercourse with the sex you're attracted to.
As an aside, the dictionary adds romantic attraction under the definition of sexuality, but I think that it should be left out as I'm a panromantic who doesn't have any preferences in a partner as long as they are loving toward me, but I'm also asexual as I have no want or need for sex.

I wudnt necessarily say it does nothin for you to have sex as an ace. I know some fellow aces who actually quite enjoy sex even if they dont feel any sexual attraction there
Ive heard fellow autistic aces talk about how sex is essentially like stimming for them, and it can just help them unwind. Which i get, as self sex is literally self-stimulatory behaviour; thus stimming
Often we can enjoy aspects of sex still even if we dont feel sexual attraction and even if we also (tho not all aces are this way) dont feel any libido. Some enjoy the closeness with another person and find it intimate still, and thus more enjoyable
Ace doesnt have to mean an adversion to sex; its just about havin little or no sexual attraction. But its entirely possible for someone who doesnt feel any sexual attraction to have sex despite not feelin sexually attracted to someone; as evidenced by the children created out of "lavender marriages" (LMs are an old gay thing where gay actors used to be forced, by film/tv studios, into heterosexual marriages to keep up appearances)

Well, it does nothing for me, and I have no desire for it... is there a better word than asexual to describe someone who has no sexual desire to be with another person or have intercourse? Because that's what I self-identify as and I feel it's the most accurate word to describe my own gender.
From what I've seen and heard from others, because I've heard of a spectrum of sex repulsed to enjoys sex with people, is that it's more about the levels of attraction you experience than sexual arousal. It's just that, well, you'll probably be more sex neutral if you aren't attracted to people. You can even have high libido and be ace. Though most tend to be sex neutral or even opposed and that makes sense.
The way I've head it explained is, at it's core, they never look at someone and go, "damn, I'd love to bang them." That just, never happens.
That's why even though someone may relate to ace folk if they have a low libido and don't really do sex because of that, they may or may not be sex (because you can be attracted without wanting to act one it).
Though note, I'm not ace myself. I've just been learning about the different parts of the rainbow mostly.

Always happy to find the world full of people with both the bravery and opportunity to be themselves in the face of adversity. You're great, and I'm glad you've shared that with us.
(also, the sun is not on fire, but exploding constantly. What's especially funny is that it is an apparently gentle constant series of explosions compared to most other stars we can find.)
(... I spend a lot of time thinking about space things.)

Now youve got me asking why the sun doesnt have smoke o.o...did you ever figure out the answer?
The sun uses a different process to create heat energy that doesnt produce any actual smoke, nuclear fusion, and even if it did produce smoke; we wudnt be able to see it thru the layers of gas on the surface of the sun
But... The sun **kinda** produces smoke. Solar winds are flung out into space, and those solar winds are made of plasma which is created at the core of the sun durin the process of nuclear fusion.
Another way to look at is, the sun is alrdy made up of smoke (well, gases anyways) and burnin smoke wudnt give you more smoke; in this case, compressin and burnin the smoke turns it into superheated plasma which is essentially the "smoke" of gases bein burned

Could be. Or could just be a strong kink for you.
The difference is do you experience sexual attraction towards other people.

Not really.
Like I know when somone is attractive, but more or less my only swxual desires revolve around diapers and age play.

There are different types of attraction. So that could work that you can tell someone is aesthetically pleasing without being sexually attracted to them. So could definitely be asexual (aka ace) or grey sexual if you feel minor or occasional sexual attractions.
But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a kink for you. Especially if it's almost solely derived from this one thing.

Oh man, I wish I'd know it was Ace day! Dang it! Oh well, there's always next year! Awesome art as usual, Star! ^_^
Hmm, I didn't know there was a day for us ace types, cool. Bi-romantic asexual here.
Glad there's a day for y'all. :)
And love the shirt. And boots, really. XD
And love the shirt. And boots, really. XD
I thought that was in October or something? Anyway not important Aces Unite! For we ride to Denmark for invasion by Dawn!!!!
So I know I'm likely gonna get shouted at...
But what is ace? Haven't heard of it before.
But what is ace? Haven't heard of it before.
So so happy im not the only asexual little out there its so rare so thank you so much star ⭐️ for being so open
Why doesnt the Sun produce smoke? "The sun's heat comes from nuclear fusion which doesn't make smoke. Also, the nuclear fusion only happens deep the inside of the sun, the outside is just a thick blanket of molecules - mostly hydrogen. The sun also isn't transparent"
