Heteronormativity and Amatonormativity go hand in hand. You give the opposite sex one compliment then somehow people think you have a crush on them. Talk about complimentless ig.

Being graysexual is cool and all until you find an exception to your general-asexual-ness™ and you do not know what to do with yourself so you just ✨️panic✨️

i honestly feel like my ~ whatever that is going on in my brain ~ (anxiety? adhd? autism? all? who knows!) blends so much with my aroaceness that i can't separate one from another. i don't understand love at first sight the way people do— that “i knew it was you from the first moment i saw you”, i don't understand one night stands because wdym you can trust your body to someone you just met after a couple of drinks? i don't understand why love fades the same way it appeared, out of nowhere. i don't understand how you can actually feel horny or heavily attracted to someone you saw on the streets, like wdym you saw a cute girl and got a boner? how does that work? (i am aware i am exaggerating with this one lol) (at least i hope so) i don't understand how you can simply Not Care about your lover's feelings and cheat on them, why don't you tell them “nah i am not interested anymore”? why is it okay to lie for a long time to avoid hurting them (and ending up causing more pain) instead of inflicting less pain sooner?

i don't understand the way most people “love”, the way they handle “romantic” relationships, i don't get the difference between marriage and dating, i don't understand a handful of things and i don't know if it's because my brain tends to think way too literally when it needs the heart or it's because love doesn't blind me and make me do dumb things.

being aroace is kinda a headache sometimes, i guess.

i sometimes wish some asexual character were only asexual and not aromantic…

i have nothing against aromantism (of course) but as an romantic yet asexual person, i wish i could find some character to identify with.

we already don’t have much representation of the ace spectrum within fiction works, but when we do it’s never only asexuality (or only aromantism)

like i can be asexual yet have romantic attraction, and the same way for aromantic people who can be sexually attracted…

also, even if i’m already thankful and glad we have a little bit of rep, i hope people won’t mix up both terms, or think one can’t go without the other

Am I the only one that every time I get myself into new fandom I just sigh, knowing fully well that I just got next 20+ x reader, y/n, x Oc!whateverthefuck or just any form of self insert tags to blacklist?

#as aegosexual its specific kind of hell #“i dont have problem with smut (for me other forms of fics too but its just preferences) as long as IM not part of it” is #quite literally a definition. im physically incapable of reading those without having imagining that instead of y/n there #is ANY character that appears in lore its based on and feel the urge to put it into google docs and “correct” it just so im actually able t #enjoy it. not that selfinsert is anything fundamentally bad. i just treat it sort of like kink that i don't understand #i dont want to understand and DEFINITELY don't want to see it #tldr: i need to blacklist way more fnaf movie related tags than i ever wanted to #and finding them all is harder than you think #last time i had to add TEN SEPARATE TAGS #for ONE person #aegosexual #ace struggles #banning y/n from appearing in post itself doesn't work that well cause day/night exists #acespec #I JUST WROTE 'aego'... in tags and got THREE SEPARATE PROPOSITIONS of self insert #WHY

are you ever aspec and barely ever feel attraction at all but when you do it’s so strong you feel like you’re gonna die

being aroace/aspec is watching a show and absolutely loving the dynamic of that of duo (generally a girl-boy duo) but knowing that they’re most likely going to end up in a romantic relationship than to remain friends

that’s one way to ruin my fun like any other i guess

#i’m currently watching the national treasure series #and i absolutely love how oren and tash interact #they have such a chaotic friendship i love it #but the chances that they stay FRIENDS are basically nonexistent #gotta love amonormativity #aroace #aro #ace #aromantism #asexuality #aromantic #asexual #aroace struggles #aro struggles #ace struggles #national treasure series #aspec #aspec community

heya !! here's a queer poll for anyone who has watched brokeback mountain at least once (i'm sorry it seems i can't stop thinking about it) and feels like helping me sorting out my doubts

i watched this movie two days ago for the first time and it gave soooo much food for thought. i really can't seem to stop myself from carrying out my ordinary tasks to ponder questions related to the movie, its storyline and its characters. as soon as i woke up this morning, my brain produced a string of queer thoughts about ennis and jack's relationship and their approach to intimacy, needs and desire. and that's where this question popped up - ennis doesn't really seem to care much about satisfying his needs (if any) both when it comes to his relationship with jack and with the girls in his life (alma, casey). he doesn't ever seem to show any sign of attraction (especially sexual) when he's with jack, but also when he's with his wife. i know the point of the movie has nothing to do with labeling one's sexuality, but as a fellow ace i welcome open heartedly any ace reading on any character (and trust me i relate a lot to ennis on many levels, so the question on reading his sexuality is very genuine for me). still, what is slowing me down in asserting ennis could have an asexual reading is the major amount of trauma he lives with, which in fact does condition his choices, his persona and his personality. it's hard for me to hive off the personal traits he has developed in relation or as consequences of his trauma and the ones who are original and spontaneous to his person.

let me know what you think about it !!

This is your reminder that you don't decide other's boundaries. You set you own, let the other person set theirs and then respect them. As an ace person, there's nothing that bothers me more than others taking the decision of what I can or can not do. If you are sharing a picture with everyone in the room but me, it's gonna bother me. So. Fucking. Much. Instead of making me feel like a freak, tell me what it is about and let me decide if I want to see it or now. I might regret it. It might make me more uncomfortable than I thought. But it was my decition. I got to choose. Everyone should have that. Don't take that away from others.
