✨Happy Asexual & Aromantic Awareness Week!✨

Though “Demisexuality” as a term didn’t exist in 1911, there are a number of scenes scattered throughout WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON that articulate Benny’s experience of being on the gray-asexual spectrum. This one might be my favorite.

🔔 NEW VIDEO! Today, I'm back with my September Wrap-Up 📚 I read 16 books in September — some short, some sapphic, some Latine, and much more! Check out my full review below ⬇️ #BookTube

📷 youtu.be/zIoCQ4A6Kxc
Thumbnail from Adri's latest YouTube video. In the photo, Adri is smiling and holding up a stack of eight books off to the side. From top to bottom, the titles shown are as follows: "The Anthill", "The Wild Robot Protects," "The Wild Robot Escapes," "Fate's Bane," "Cinder House," "Bad in the Blood," "When the Tide Held the Moon," and "Video Games Have Always Been Queer." Two additional mock-up book covers have been edited into the thumbnail on the right-hand side and those titles are "Abeni and the Kingdom of Gold" and "What Stalks the Deep". Adri is wearing a black and green tie-dye shirt, a silver chain necklace, a black hoop earring in their left ear, a black wire cuff on their right ear, and a black spiked barbell in their right eyebrow. At the top of the thumbnail in bold, white lettering, the word "September" has been edited to appear behind Adri's head and shoulders. End description.
