"being queer is about love" hmm actually being queer is about defying societal norms about gender and sexuality and does not depend on feeling love at all

i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something

#southwest uk #chips. crisps. don’t know what those are #biscuits. i never refer to those drinks collectively (only by individual name coke sprite etc) and i can’t remember how they’re categorised #on menus. sweets #cigarettes. beanie. candy floss

Friendly reminder that "aroace" is NOT the umbrella term for the whole aromantic/asexual community

The correct umbrella term is Aspec

Aroace is its own specific identity and alloaros don't want to be placed in the "aroace" community

#THIS #sick of acespec being used for aro and ace people #sick of aspec being used when only aces are being referenced #sick of aroace being used as an umbrella term #do two seconds of critical thinking people

The Worst Trope Ever Showdown: Round 1, Side C

Soulmates

soulmates is a universe setting where every person has a single romantic partner they are tied to their entire or most of their lives in mysterious and magical ways depending on the setting

Propaganda:

as an aromantic person never once in my life have i seen a soulmate story that made me feel acknowledged in any capacity besides the ones using the story to complain about soulmate stories. any pairing outside the monogamous norm literally has to go against the laws of the Universe. sometimes people do try to subvert monogamous expectations! but these attempts need to be subversive of the trope because of the "one true love" the trope is defined by, and imo a trope isnt worth it if it needs to be subverted to mean anything. it never works for me.

Academic Alpha Bitch

A bitchy and mean character who excels in academics.

Propaganda:

look just cause you have straight a's doesn't mean you're a bitch. half the people i know with straight a's aren't bitches, and those who are have problems and just need to be talked to. kindly. idk just gets on my nerves lol sorry

#aromantics rise up

Need y’all to know that in the 1970’s a letter to the editor was published in Daily Telegraph where the author offhandedly used the phrase “Tolkien-like gloom” to describe an area with barren trees and JRRT himself wrote back an incensed rebuttal at the use of his name in a context that suggested anything negative about trees.

my take on shipping aromantic characters is that if you're aro you get to do whatever you want and if you're not you have to write me a three page essay 12 pt font times new roman double spaced explaining in detail why you believe entering a romantic relationship would be an interesting and worthwhile storyline for the character and how you believe their aromanticism would affect the way they experience said relationship
