What's it called when you're aro and ace to everyone but ONE person, to them of who you feel sexual and romantic feelings for so intensely? I guess demi? Is this even a valid thing to feel and can I even use aro and ace for myself??

Demi can work, especially if you have an emotional bond with that person. Some demi people have only ever been attracted to one person, and that attraction can be intense.

Another you could look into if you want is boreasexual/borearomantic, and it means someone who's an exception to the usual rule of your orientation. So someone who generally doesn't experience any attraction and then experiences it towards just one person would be an example of someone who is borea.

Yes, this is valid and it's just how it goes for some people. Yes, you can use aro and ace, generally speaking only ever experiencing sexual and romantic attraction to one person is considered to be an ace and aro spectrum experience.--similarly both demi and borea are ace/aro spectrum identities--and anyone who is ace spectrum can use ace and anyone who is aro spectrum can use aro.

When it comes to this stage of questioning, labels can get subjective. Sometimes more than one may describe your experiences, or things like personal preferences, what's convenient, etc. may play a role too in what labels feel right for you. So don't be afraid to use whatever label(s) you feel works best best for you.

All the best!

If I were idemromantic and sex positive asexual, would I still be aroace?

I have a very strange relationship with romantic feelings and sexual attraction, and there is only one person (my current & only partner I've ever had) that I have ever considered having sex with

But the fact that I do experience what I consider to be romantic attraction to them specifically makes me wonder whether that means I wouldn't be considered aroace because my relationship to everyone who isn't in my head (including my partner) functions exactly like a romonormative (I don't know if this is the actual term, but I assume that gets the point across (romance-normative)) monogamous relationship would

I do identify with borearomantic and aplatonic as well but I don't know if, because all of these things are combined in such a romonormative way to the point that I no longer function like an aroace person in my life at all, if I would still be considered aroace?

gonna break this ask down for the sake of my processing:

If I were idemromantic and sex positive asexual, would I still be aroace?

To start with - being arospec (idemromantic being under the aro spectrum) and asexual (sex-favorable or otherwise) can mean that you use the term aroace if that's what you prefer! Otherwise, it might be useful to know of the term acemid, meaning asexual and aro-spec. Use whatever labels feel right or bring you community.

I have a very strange relationship with romantic feelings and sexual attraction, and there is only one person (my current & only partner I've ever had) that I have ever considered having sex with

sounds like an aro-spec and ace-spec life to me :)

But the fact that I do experience what I consider to be romantic attraction to them specifically makes me wonder whether that means I wouldn't be considered aroace because my relationship to everyone who isn't in my head (including my partner) functions exactly like a romonormative (I don't know if this is the actual term, but I assume that gets the point across (romance-normative)) monogamous relationship would

so, i'm not 100% sure I understand this, so I'm going to lay out what i think you are asking and respond to that: I'm concerned that because i experience romantic attraction to an individual, and this relationship is pretty standard for a romantic relationship, I am not aromantic enough. (probably searching for the word amatonormative?)

if that's more or less a correct interpretation: that's no problem! i honestly can't think of a single point in the last... decade or so i've been in/on aro tumblr... where we've defined aromanticism as excluding individuals who almost never experience attraction to others, even if those few instances last a long time. I can't say the view hasn't come up, but it's been thoroughly unpopular and disliked for good reasons. Notably, orientations can change, labels are meant to help individuals find community and kinship - not to separate us, and frankly, it's no one else's business to define your identity as "enough".

I do identify with borearomantic and aplatonic as well but I don't know if, because all of these things are combined in such a romonormative way to the point that I no longer function like an aroace person in my life at all, if I would still be considered aroace?

I hope my thoughts are clear at this point, but: if that label feels good at all for you, yes! The only "bad" or "misused" label is one that you don't feel describes you or connects you to others. Ie, I don't feel described by the terms cis, binary trans, or nonbinary - none of those feel good to me or connect me to others in ways I want. Genderqueer, on the other hand, feels good. It feels like a sigh of relief, a knowledge that I don't have to be in a new binary of, well, binary or nonbinary, and my identity is queer fundamentally, so I like the term.

I hope this helps! I'm filing this under the tag "am i aro", as you are not at all the only person with a question like this!

Just wanted to write some headcanons I have about Zoro since they'll just stew in my head otherwise.

Firstly, sexuality:

- When I don't ship him with someone, he's aroace (he doesn't give a shit in Canon so it wouldn't surprise me)

- If I do ship him with someone, then I headcanon him as either demisexual/demiromantic or boreasexual/borearomantic.

(borea- means that the person has a set orientation but there is an exception centered around one person. With Zoro, I'd see him as aroace but then he meets someone who he does actually love.)

(Demisexual/demiromantic means that someone only feels sexual/romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond. This would make sense in Canon if Oda ever decides to give him a relationship, and I think it is the best option for most Zoro/person fanfiction.)

Either work well in my fanfictions, though it generally leans towards borearomantic/boreasexual.

Next, actual sexual life, since it's related:

I imagine that he would have had sex before but not cared for it much. Sexual attraction is separate from enjoying sex, mind you, but this is just how I imagine how he felt.

I like the idea that he tried it with a woman and didn't care, so tried it with a man and still felt nothing, so just didn't do it again.

I think that he wouldn't care for the person and so didn't feel anything (because of the aroace/demi/borea identity). That would probably take place in his bounty hunting days.

I think it would be funny to have the crew talk to each other about if they were virgins, and him bragging to Sanji (who is definitely a virgin, don't lie) about having sex with two more genders than him. That's basically the only reason I headcanon it.

Next, disabilities:

It makes sense if Zoro is dyslexic (getting lost all the time, and have you ever seen him actually read?).

I also love these types of fanfic, so I love seeing it show up more often.

I don't think he's autistic or anything else, just introverted with a struggle to trust.

Lastly, a bit about his childhood:

We know nothing about his childhood before 8, so whatever happens depends on the fanfiction and how I want people to react.

In my mind, I think that Zoro had parents die at a very young age and so lived in an orphanage that was pretty negligent because of lack of money. As a result, he was kinda free to do what he wanted.

I don't think he actually remembers his parents, and so doesn't really care. It would explain why he never mentions them.

I don't think that he saw Koushirou (his master) as a father, just as a mentor, but I do think that he and Kuina thought of each other as siblings. The Dojo was the first place that treated him like family, so he thinks of it as his first real home.

Also, since Koushirou told Kuina that a girl can't become the greatest swordsman in the world, I think that he would have a slight grudge and dislike for his more 'traditional' views.

And that's it. Just some random stuff I've finally scribbled onto an online platform.

[questioning-culture-is]

Is it borearomantic if you're platoniromantic but there's one person you know you had a romantic crush on and he's the only person you've ever been completely sure on?

I hadn't heard of the term before, but from my research that sounds like it's exactly that!!

See, the reason I say "I'm gay" all the time is because if I described my romantic attraction and sexuality it would go somewhat like this:

I'm attracted to mainly men, but also a small number of people who present as female or who were assigned female at birth. The percentage is too small to make me feel comfortable identifying as omniromantic and too large to make me feel comfortable and to feel validated by identifying as borearomantic. Additonally, my romantic attraction to all but one of the afab/female presenting people is duller than my attraction to amab/male presenting people, and combined with lots of confusion, I don't feel comfortable saying that I'm attracted to both genders because I feel that some to all of the attraction to those people may be simply platonic.

On top of all of that, I am very confused about my sexual identity. I often act like I am not attracted to people sexually because of reasons I don't know. Additionally, I may have been attracted to afab/female presenting people but I'm not sure and/or don't remember.

Besides all of that, I don't know whether I am often attracted to people who identify as non-binary because I don't come across those sorts of people often, and therefore don't know if my attraction would change. Plus, I'm unable to imagine a scenario where someone I was attracted to was a different gender.

Meanwhile, I don't want to be viewed as a heterosexual or heteroromantic due to my knowledge that I am at least somewhat not so, and because of that I don't like to use those terms to describe myself.

While that's happening, in my brain I'm confused as to whether I want to biologically be male or female. I don't want to be one or the other strictly, but I also don't want to be both at the same time due to that would cause me to feel invalid identifying as a transgender person.

And, to top it all off, I feel insecure using pronouns to fit my assigned sex at times due to feeling better as a whole whilst others know that I'm transgender and genderfluid. Also, I'm starting to become unable to figure out what I currently wish to identify as, and writing myself on a piece of paper as a certain gender feels discomforting.

Finally, I'm not sure whether or not to make a pride flag to describe my nounpronouns due to a few reasons. First, I might feel invalid because my gender changes and therefore, I wouldn't always have that gender feel comfortable to me. Second, I worry about people's opinions on me way too much while I shouldn't and I suffer from internalized transphobia and homophobia (I think that I'm faking it but I'm extremely supportive of everyone around me). Third, I don't really feel comfortable using the '___self' variation of pronouns, preferring '___' and '___s', which causes me to feel that I think of it as a name and it's not actually a pronoun. That makes me uncomfortable saying that I use nounpronouns due to the fear of misidentifying myself.

Plus, I don't want to identify as unlabeled due to reasons I don't understand, and to top it all off, I've confused or messed up on my labels so often that my mental health and self-view has declined as a result.

So, yes, I'm gay.

Can you add the borearomantic flag?

Yeah, both boreasexual and borearomantic have been added.

They're both under the 5th rainbow part, as the 4th and 5th color options.

If I’m a guy and I am romantically and sexually attracted to guys and sexually attracted to women but only on very very few occasions romantically attracted to women (I’m not including NB people because there’s so many different ways to be NB and NB people are so diverse in how they present/act/are it feels a little fetishy to say that I am always attracted to them but I totally would date a NB person if I met one I liked), how do you think I should label myself?

Romantically borea-femaric flex(i)-achillean; sexually rochilic. You can also use ambiromantic ambisexual or flexhomoromantic bisexual.

Ambi- ambivalent attraction, being attracted to women &/or men, or to both your similar/same gender &/or dissimilar one(s);

Rochilic: mlw mlm (man loving women/men);

Achillean: mlm (man loving men);

Borearomantic: an exception for your romantic orientation;

Femaric: umbrella term for woman-attracted individuals;

Flexiromantic: romantic flexibility; romantically flexible. There’s another definition for flex- by @variant-archive

I'd love to hear more about borearomantic aros..Could you make some posts with some facts and info on it? :)

Unfortunately I don't think there's really enough out there on borearomantic to do an info page on. Resources I've found on it only include the definition, which is usually: having an exception to your usual romantic orientation. Usually revolves around a single person.

If you're looking for more detail or discussion I'd recommend checking the borearomantic/boreasexual tumblr tags/search, or other places with ace/aro communities.

All the best!

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

You could use borea- as a prefix for trixic (nblw), so it could be boreatrixic.

Borea-: an exception for your orientation. Usually revolves around a single person.
