I nearly escaped Pride Month without saying anything!!

Gosh, I'm sorry I've been MIA. Too many things to do each day, you know?

Know what hasn't changed?

Frayromantics and other arospec people are amazing!

It's okay to feel weird about Pride. Not feeling romantic love the way others in the community celebrate during June is still queer, is still a valuable part of the LGBTQ+ community.

You make this community more vibrant with or without the way you experience love or community. Yes you.

Take care of yourself today. Drink some water, Stretch your body, Do something that benefits no one but you. You deserve the care 💙💚

Love you,

Mercedes 💙

enough with m-spec/asexual/aromantic/trans/nonbinary people just being "valid" and "welcome" in the community. we're not just valid, we're important. we're not just welcome, we're inherently fundamental members of the community. we're essential. the queer community is just as much ours as it is of lesbian and gay people.

Asexual men are incredible and deserve more recognition.

An aromantic pride frog, as well as a correction to the nonbinary pride frog’s flag (thank you to the person who pointed this out for me, for some reason my brain had just not registered that the white and the purple were flipped on the old one)

Happy pride month! Remember, you are valid no matter what your sexual or romantic orientation is. Stay safe out there.

Inclusive language is for everyone!!

Aro-culture is having deep thoughts about the true meaning of love, emotional bonds with other human beings and life itself while still enjoying it to the fullest. 💚🤍🖤

im not sure if you've posted about this before, but are you angled? as in, are you attracted to a specific gender when you do experience attraction?

Sorry for just getting to this, anon 💙 thank you for the question!

Actually, this year has been kinda wild in terms of crushes. Specifically, growing up I had a few crushes on different guys. (I should have questioned why one of those crushes literally evaporated overnight because my "friend" told other people lol) It was a big part of why I never questioned myself being anything other than heterosexual.

This year though, I've actually had a couple crushes on cis women and my head kinda exploded because I didn’t know that was possible and I wasn't sure if they would fade the same way crushes on guys had. Add to that gender questions and it's really hard to hold onto any concept of being straight.

And then they did fade and breathed a sigh of relief.

There's also the saga of the barista at Starbucks who is gnc af and I love him 💙 but I don't know him at all so idkkkk.

I typically don't think of myself as angled (nor oriented) just because romantic attraction is such a small part of my life, but I would say I am panromantic angled.

And At Last I See the Light, Virgil is fray but it's not directly stated. This one is really angsty with a Major Character Death Warning, but a very sweet ending

I Know the Stars Will Start to Fade, fray Roman deals with his soulmarks fading as his romantic feelings for his soulmates fade. This one was so so personal and worked so well!

So I'm absolutely writing a soulmate au with a frayromantic main character because representation matters and I want to see myself in a love story thanks

what's romantic attraction? so many things that are considered romantic are things that aros in QPRs also do? what does it feel like?

Well, for me, romantic attraction is this overwhelming fluttery feeling that this person is special and different and significant. It's quite a bit like being obsessed. Like you can't function properly around them and place far too much emphasis on every careless movement and word. You want to be with them and imagine a life with them as the focal point. It can be very overwhelming.

And then, for me, that feeling fades pretty quickly into something much more platonic and happy to know them. I don't know if Allos have to live with the fluttery romantic stuff all the time or if their feelings change over time. But it kinda feels like dying for your crush, and you'd gladly do it to see them smile.

#anon asks #frayromantic thoughts #romantic attraction #affection does not preclude attraction that's why qprs and aros can still be affectionate #sorry this took so long

Working out some variations on the design. I'll put them all on redbubble when I'm satisfied with the available selections.

Gonna make some aro + ace ones, and uhhhh idk, what do you ppl think?
