Shout-out to all the romance and sex repulsed gays today
I think we should throw a party
Maybe summon a demon from the underworld to help us prank the commoners
Eat lots of garlic bread
Maybe burn a village idk

Not normally a coiner but
Platoromantic
Platoromantic is someone who can't differentiate platonic feelings and romantic feelings, wether that is because of being aromanticspec, because of trauma, delusions, ext! Or someone who's platonic and romantic feelings are the same thing
Platosexual
Platosexual is someone who can't differentiate platonic feelings and sexual feelings, wether that is because of being asexualspec, because of trauma, delusions, ext! Or someone who's platonic and sexual feelings are the same thing
[I JUST REALIZED I WROTE THE SAME THING TWICE. FUCK(fixed it)]
Not really proud of the flags but meh
Update! Terms out the terms has already been coined under a different name x / x , I'll keep this post up because it's moreso sexual/romantic attraction and platonic attraction beiythe same thing for someone

Some thoughts from an aroace today because why not
So for context I am both apothiromantic and apothisexual, aka romance and sex repulsed
Now the thing is, to me romance and love (the noun not the verb) are not the same thing
They can have similar aspects, and they often intertwine ... But they are not the same
Thus why I am apothiromantic while having been in a relationship
Because it started as a friendship and then evolved to love
Not romantic or platonic love
But a secret third thing ... Something that we like to call
✨ queerplatonic✨ (or if you're into the Greek words for love like I am, it's a nice combination of philia and agape)
I like that word because to me it's a word that fits the individual's definition of it instead of it having a particular definition of its own
And by that I mean its whatever you need it to be. It's a catch all ... A word for when you have no words
Because if I were to say "I'm in love" or "I'm in a relationship" most people would assume it's sexual or romantic ... And my relationship was not either. It had some aspects that are typically associated with a romance, but not romance itself.
In modern society love is synonymous with sex and romance ... And to me, at least, that is not accurate
Love is a deeper form of friendship, it's based on trust and understanding and fondness ... A knowing of the souls rather than of minds
And I would describe romance as infatuation, butterflies in the stomache and giggles. It's kissing and cuddling and holding hands and going on dates.
Romance often can lead to love, but it doesn't always ... And it isn't a required first step to get to love.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying any of these (love, sex, or romance) is objectively any less or more valid than the other. Whatever the individual prioritizes or desires is perfectly acceptable. If you want a sexual relationship with no love or romance, go for it. If you want romance without sex or love, knock yourself out. Any combination or lack is valid if that's what is best for you, none of them are inherently better or worse.
But to me they are all very different, and as an aroace that can be kind of alienating and lonely given that society tends to lump them all together, and there aren't a lot of aroaces voices out there talking about it.
So this is for all the lil aroaces out there that can relate. I see you, and you're not alone.

Well fellas, I gotta say this:
So yesterday I made a post about how bots made the asexual tag unusable, so I suggested a new tag called "acespec mafia".
This tag was meant to be like the "alphabet mafia" label, and it was also the only thing I could come up with at the time.
I had no intention of that post getting so many notes, or for people to actually start using it, as it was merely just a suggestion.
So when I woke up and checked my Tumblr, I was surprised to find out that acespec mafia was now a tag, and that my post about it got a lot of notes, and that people were even promoting the tag.
However, I did not think about this one thing, and that would be anon hate. I did not even think about it until I got an ask about how a user received an anon hate message for using the tag.
I feel entirely responsible for the thing, as it is entirely my fault for suggesting the acespec mafia tag. If I hadn't made that post, the anon hate message probably wouldn't have happened.
I sincerely apologize to the user who got the anon hate, and to everyone else.
