Things that are way better than sex, kissing and romance:

good food

entertaining book

well-made Netflix show

going to bed at 10 pm

music that gives you goosebumps

music you can loudly singalong to while driving

movies you can watch 10 times and they are still great

learning languages

looking at art

wearing comfy clothes

feeling warm, cozy and hyggelig

staying up all night reading

I feel like some people within the aspec community need to check themselves for aphobia like it's seriously concerning. I'm not just talking about internalized aphobia btw, I'm also talking about straight up aphobia against other members of the community.

If you're ace, that does not mean you are immune to being arophobic. Same goes if you're aro, you are not immune to being acephobic.

If you're aroace, you could also be aphobic without it necessarily being what could be considered as "internalized" (e.g. being aphobic to a favorable aroace when you're repulsed, being aphobic to aroaces who are non-partnering when you're partnering, being aphobic to loveless aros when you aren't loveless or lovequeer aros when you aren't lovequeer, etc. etc.).

That's not even talking about the amatonormativity in the community either.

me before realizing i'm aroace: why is everyone so obsessed with romance? sex sounds so gross. i don't want to have kids or marry anyone. why do people my age care so much about crushes? i don't want to date anyone.

me after realizing i'm aroace: it all makes sense now.

“Aroace people can still have romantic and have sexual relationships, so it’s okay to ship them!” Only works if that character has been implied to shown to be on that part of the spectrum.

Plus, this can also create a double standard of shipping. For an example for most (sane) people don’t tend to ship lesbians with men or gays with women, because it blatantly erases that representation. But whenever it’s a aroace character that has never shown any interest In romantic or sexual attraction at all is shipped with another character is seen (by surprising a lot of people) to be okay. Which is annoying.

Aroace people barely have any representation in media because of how lesser known the label is. Especially the ones who are completely disinterested in having any relationships unless they are platonic. So it be like adding salt in the wound by using the “aroace is a spectrum” just to ship a aroace character.

But overall when people do ship a gay man with a woman, or vice versa, it’s usually for the sake of shipping. So in my opinion, if you are going to ship a aroace character (who, once again, is completely disinterested any type of romantic or sexual relationship) with another character, just say because you want to ship them instead of grasping at straws and using flimsy excuses.

Why is it so hard for aroace people to just get basic respect

you are allowed to be aro / ace and still want relationships or sex btw. aspec just means you don't feel attraction to them.

people are complicated, everyone will feel different levels of attraction, and just because you want to do something doesn't mean you want the thing.

you are allowed to be aro and still want to partner

you are allowed to be ace and still want sexual experiences

it's fine to call yourself aro/ace even if you feel a little attraction and are with someone

aro/ace are labels to describe your feelings, to communicate them, find people like you. you are aro/ace as long as you think it's nice

Hate when I'm looking at some of my favourite aro/ace spec characters and it's *kinky* art, and some mfs say shit like "yeah but this guys aro/ace 😕"

hey dipshit aro/ace people can still have sex and do kinky stuff. pull your head out of your ass and appreciate the art, or leave

idk if this is because i'm aroace but it baffles me that dating apps exist like who tf came up with this idea?? i mean i go out with a total stranger with the specific purpose of starting a romantic relationship with them?? what the fuck is that? where's the friendship part? where's the part where we've know eachother for most of our lives? like some people really go "oh hey nice shirt, i know nothing about you but i definitely wanna date you" nah i don't believe it

This weekend I finally started wearing my aro ring. Before I only chose to wear the ace one. I still invisible for the vast majority of the society but maybe there’s somebody who’ll recognize me.

I think I always subconsciously tried to shove my lack of attraction away. Before I knew I was aro I was like "this is a chrush- right?". When I originally realized I was aro I thought "maybe I'm on the side of *some romantic attraction* on spectrum?" I thought "I might have SOME chance at a romantic relationship, right?"

Then I realized how all the relashionships I've been around & grew up around have been, like, kinda horrible & like- you know what I'm good thx <2
