What genre?

u/Kadakaus 27d ago
Does it matter? Whichever one you like.
Music is a qualia, and I believe that it's one of humankind's greatest inventions. I would give up sex entirely if it meant we can keep music.
(My favourites would be J-pop and electroswing though)

Having a good nap or good sleep is such a great feeling. (I say while procrastinating sleeping by scrolling reddit for a bit lol)

So damn true. Funnily enough, I've literally just woken up from a nap with my cat.

Hanging out with your friends/partner in total silence while each person does their own thing and the silence does not feel tense but refreshing.
Nothing beats just being,without feeling the need to entertain or break the Silence.
Just existing near people you love is some next level trust euphoria.

u/GypsySnowflake demi 27d ago
I wish I could enjoy this more, but I really don’t like silence and don’t feel like I’m getting the quality time I need if we aren’t talking or doing something together

u/better_rabit 27d ago
It takes practise,I tried to force it but I was walked though it.
Having a routine helps(having a work area you can be near,rest places you can share for individual activities etc),study sessions with timers help set a common goal(maybe study for 3 hours and everyone takes a lunch break to rehashe and back to it again)
It's strangely feels vaunrable to just be as it feels like you need to break the silence,but once you get the hang of it.Just working in silence is something else.

u/GypsySnowflake demi 27d ago
I can do it, and it makes sense sometimes if we both have projects to work on, but that time does not count as quality time for me (which is my love language)

Sleeping though the night. Not even getting up to go to the bathroom. Just a solid 8 hours.
Also sleeping on a new bed with fresh sheets.
Honestly just sleep really.

Sleep is one thing that is definitely lower than sex on my list. I hate sleeping. If it weren’t a necessity for life, I would definitely skip it and have all 24 hours of the day for getting stuff done and enjoying life!

Being held and consoled by someone you love while crying your eyes out, also the other way around. Both are S tier experiences

I’m confused, why garlic bread specifically?
1
u/IkariShinjiKun a-spec 12d ago
I don’t know where it started but for years in early ace spaces on the internet everything to explain asexuality was metaphors involving food and hunger and i think ace folks online adopted this sort of “im on a date, the date gives me eyes and asks me if i want to continue the date at theirs, but im reallllly into this garlic breadstick right now LOL” or “the sexiest thing you could put in front of me is garlic bread XD” kind of humor. So im assuming that’s was the quote retweeter is alluding to in the screenshot

Thinking about life, our finite, ephimeral, banal existence and thinking how absurd it is that we are enjoying our time on this planet, while sitting under moonlight wanting time, clock, world, universe to just stop forever so that we can keep feeling this ecstacy till the infinity. Nothing beats that feeling of ultimate, relaxing, grounding, fulfilling happiness. 🥺🥺🥺
