Written in 2022:

Now that I’ve had time to reflect, I know my ass falls under the gray-ace category. I don’t really experience sexual attraction unless I am obsessed, although I do have lots of aesthetic attraction. I enjoy sexy things, yes, but in reality, unless I have a partner I am dedicated to with the same feedback, I am not sexually “into” them.

This was a big-deal comic for me. I pivoted and started turning things into abstractions. Felt separate. Alien. Like a creature. It seemed that I would be able to express more if I didn’t depict myself as me, I suppose.
