    Cw/ Acephobia, queer emotional trauma, the struggles of coming out

    Coming out is never easy -- neither in life or death. And not even in hell. Though the chaos of the Pentagram embraces the pleasure of all experiences, some identities still encounter ignorance and judgment. And some people would simply like to keep their personal affairs private, if only to avoid their personal pains and doubts growing, on full display for all to see.

    But sometimes there are moments -- and friends -- worth coming out for, consequences be damned.

    When Alastor comes to terms with his Asexuality and embraces his identity for the first time in front of others, he discovers the relief of being honest with himself and the difficulties of being 'different' in a way some parts of his world don't understand. Fortunately, his caring friend (and queer cheerleader) Angel Dust is here to help him navigate being out and proud.
