aromanticism deserves to be celebrated outside of the context of asexuality.
aromanticism deserves to be accepted and discussed without even mentioning asexuality.
aromantic allosexuality deserves to be celebrated.
aromanticism, on its own, with nothing else added, is fucking awesome.

I'm aroace. Always have been, always will be. And you know what ticks me off the most about it? It's the sentiment from allo people, that tell aces/aros/aroaces that the love they feel "must be platonic!" Or that if the have sex or date they aren't a real ace/aro/aroace.
This is wrong. It is wrong now, it was wrong then, and it will always b wrong.
Aros are defined as people without any romantic ATTRACTION. They can date, fall in love, or maybe they never will, and they find happiness in that.
Aces are defined as people without any sexual ATTRACTION. They can fuck, fuck around, make dirty jokes, or maybe they never have sex, or are uncomfortable with even the idea being brought up.
Ik this, because I'm aroace, and I'm in a poly relationship. I love my two partners, my boyfriend AND my girlfriend, but you wanna know what? I was never romantically or sexually attracted to them. I, oh so simply, just fell in love with them. I trust them completely, and I love them more than myself.
If I was not in love with them, I would not be in a relationship with them. It's as simple as that. I am not allo, I find no meaning in pretending to be attracted to someone. I've dated before, although it was more from societal pressures than any feelings, and that is why I'm so certain.
I never got a crush phase, never got the butterflies in my stomach or the fantasys about someone I was not close too.
Many aros/aces/aroaces will probably never want or find such relationships with a person. And that's okay, but it does not mean all are like that. People under the A-umbrella are 1000% valid, regardless of their wants/needs to have or not to have a relationship.
The Acespectum is always one of the hardest things to figure out if you are, because it is impossible to teach what the absence of something feels like. So, if you think you are, take it slow. Figure it out at your own pace, and don't be afraid of someone else's anger that you may not fit what they think you should be. In the end it's your choice, your wants, your needs, and your life.

Do you ever think about how you see the aroallo flag more often than the alloace flag which is likely because you can just say you're asexual and people probably won't assume you're aromantic as well whereas if you say you're aromantic they'll automatically assume you're asexual, so it makes sense that aromantic allosexuals would be more likely to use the flag specifically for them rather than the one for all aromantics because with the specific flag it'll be more obvious that they're not aroace?

Ok as some who is under the aromatic umbrella and is experiencing having an actual crush (not gender envy I’ve made sure) I need to ask
HOW DO PEOPLE FIND THIS FUN!?
Like I am freaking out over here because my thoughts are killing me, like how is this supposed to be a good feeling

I was telling my friends about how I want to have a baby without a partner and they replied with “it’s going to have so many gay aunts around it. It’ll grow up perfect”.
I love my friends 🥹.

Am I the only person who hates telling other people about my sexuality irl? I'm proud of being aroace and all, it just gets tiring to explain it every single fucking time.
I mean, I can just say I'm not straight or I'm queer, but then people immediately default to thinking I'm gay if I say that.
It usually goes like this:
Stranger: "Are you straight?"
Me: "Oh, no."
Stranger: "Oh, so you're gay."
Me: "...Nope. Try again."
Stranger: "Bisexual?"
Me: "Nope!"
Stranger: "Can you give me a hint?"
Me: *long sigh* "I can, but I don't think you'll like the answer"
Now cue the explaining it for ten minutes and gods forbid they're aphobic (which, unfortunately, a large percentage of the people I've told are) because that's just a whole other fucking rabbit hole

ok but wouldn’t it be so cool if season two actually explored Alastors asexuality? Outside of one little comment? Like don’t get me wrong I love the ace deer man but I feel like the way we’re eating up that one crumb goes to show how little rep we actually get. And I get that everything we get about him in s1 is basically crumbs. He’s SUPPOSED to be mysterious. But I can’t help but worry that his identity is going to be ignored altogether within the story. And there are SUCH cool stories that can be told about this specific part of him. How did his relationship with Vox fall apart? Vox basically stalks him. Does that freak him out at all? Will it scare him in the future? When did Valentino come into the picture? Did that affect their friendship? How did Alastor survive hells hyper sexual environment when he first arrived?
And there ARE issues with the other queer rep in the show, but we have seen both Charlie and angel face homophobia in hell, and we have seen all sorts of sexual and romantic relationships. Ace and aro rep is a bit different, because it’s difficult to tell those kinds of stories without acknowledging the struggles that aspec people face. Very much how early gay rep focused a lot on prejudice. I understand why people just want a goofy silly aspec character who is accepted and just being themselves. I get that. But within the context of Hazbin, having good aspec rep just means acknowledging the struggles that come with it. And there’s so much you can do with that story wise, but I worry that the team will shy away from it as to not piss off the shippers.
