#ace's rants :(

[a-rabbit-obsessed-queer]

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

I genuinely hate when people invalidate demiromantic/demisexual/other labels in general by saying somethin like "OMG!!!! why do these labels exist that's how every relationship is!!!!! what has this generation come to?!!?,!?!!"

some people out here are dating someone they just met two days ago. while it literally took me two whole years of getting to know someone before having a crush on them. can y'all please not find excuses to invalidate aspec/arospec people. thanks

I wish some aces would stop excluding other aces with complex sexual experiences. like I get why but you have to realize that being ace does not mean they don't enjoy sexual experiences and it's weird when you complain about allo people and boil it down to "people who have sexual experiences" and also shame people for their sex life and kinks as if your own community doesnt INCLUDE those people. because there are other aces out there who still masturbate, who feel sexually attracted to their own body, who barely experiences sexual attraction but still enjoys sex, who like consuming sexual media, who like sfw kink. being ace is so so much more complex than just "disliking sex". and also aromantic exclusionism in the same genre of posts is something i see a lot. especially aro allos. I hate hate hate seeing a community that SHOULD be inclusive boil down sexuality and exclude people.

#okay to reblog #if you reblog this post to argue or whatever though im killing you this is about my personal queer experiences not a discourse post #feel free to add your own experiences if youre aceflux demisexual whatever. i love you guys. #rambling #rant #messy writing sorry #but as an aroace myself i just felt like i had to get it out i guess #i always feel like im not ace enough but im not allo enough to be either #aroace #arospec #aromantic #asexual #acespec #ace #aceflux #aroflux #demiromantic #demisexual #lbgtqia #lbgtq #queer #text post #vent #queer community

waking up and going to school in the morning only to notice a bouquet of your favourite flowers at your doorstep

you inspect them carefully, and you notice each and every one is vibrant and flawless, as if they were picked meticulously with care

"happy valentine's day, prefect"

these are for you??? who was so thoughtful to do something like this??

hmmm...

wait! you've only mentioned your favourite flowers to a few amount of people

and you're pretty sure which one said list of people would be most likely to leave flowers for you

lucky him then. you were already planning on getting him a box of his favourite chocolates

only now you're not so nervous about your feelings being unreciprocated (⁠灬⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠灬⁠)

People have probably said this before but the fact that phoenix is sorry to miles for "all he's put him through " for the past 8 years - the angst ??? The 8 year interactions between miles and phoenix????? And trucy ???? I'm going insane , I NEED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED -

I need phoenix shutting miles out and miles not letting him go (no matter how much phoenix insists that he leaves him just like he did before ) , I need miles acting sad and helpless, insisting that he needs phoenix's help but of course he knows that phoenix can tell when he lies so he'd phrase everything in a way that absolutely made it seem like he needed phoenix and no-one else . I need to see miles buying everything for phoenix and trucy and shrugging it off (or paying in advance and pretending things are free) I need to see trucy grow fond of miles when she sees him shaking on the plane during turbulence (she'd need to hold his and phoenix's hands since phoenix is afraid of heights) . I need to see miles get jealous when phoenix starts drinking with kristoph (he doesn't know that phoenix is just keeping him close to keep himself safe) I need to see - (I could go on forever) - we were robbed!! Robbed !!!!

Hi hello good evening, friendly reminder that identifying as asexual and/or aromantic does not mean the individual: has no sex drive; is never interested in romance; never desires romantic relationships; has never had and/or does not ever want to have sex; does not have fantasies nor masturbate; and so on..... but perhaps the most important reminder is: just because someone's relationship to sex and romance differs from societal expectations does not mean it is something to fix

thank you, carry on (:

coming to terms with being aro and/or ace isn't really talked about and i feel like it should be, especially the uglier aspects of it. like yes i know being ace is fine and good and totally natural, i know this, but it doesn't change the fact that i feel so terrible about myself. like i feel like a dick because i can't just be happy for my friends when they get into relationships and i feel like i constantly have to justify why i feel the way i do and nobody understands my critiques of dating culture and our conception of romance in general because it works for them, but it doesn't work for me, and nobody wants to put in the work to understand that. like whenever i talk about it with my friends there's always this underlying attitude of "you'll get it once you find The One," but maybe i'll never find The One, and maybe i don't want to.

online you see a lot of positivity and acceptance, and that's great. it really helps people. there's just something about logging off and being constantly bombarded with romance novels, films, poetry, all of it, that makes you feel like a freak. and you get so angry because nobody seems to understand and you're realizing that you'll never get married but all your friends will and you'll slowly lose more and more of your support network until you're just alone with a cat in a shitty apartment. like logically i know it won't be that way and i should just meet some ace people irl but goddamn it really fucks you up at first.

anyway if your coming to terms with your aro/ace-ness manifests as self-hatred, i see you and i'm with you and it's normal. i promise it'll be okay eventually. in the meantime you simply have to "fuck it we ball" through it

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.

Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"

if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

#zolu #on why i love zolu #seeing the hate its gotten on its own tag #i figured i'd put it on my two cents #i am aroace and i do hc Luffy as aroace #the same for Zoro if i'm honest #but the thing about this hc is that not only it isn't canon #but is an actual spectrum #what really made me pause was that the argument was that zolu was an “icky” ship bc of how they viewed Luffy as aroace #i would have prefered they just said they hate the ship #it makes sense as i do too hate ships without reason sometimes #but it was how they seemed to view aromatic/asexual people that fucked me up #both orientations are spectrums #the way i see it and experience it isn't the same other people do #giving this label and then saying it only woks on one way is disrespectful to the many people that fall under this umbrella #it isn't as simple as saying “aromantic folks can't experience love” and “yeah ace folks all find sex disgusting” #everyone is different everyone has different views and it's about finding what fits *you* personally! #sorry for the rant on tags i just wanted to get it off my chest #i've seen more people explain it better and break it down more coherently #and i'm so so glad to see so many big brained people ready to communicate on why that take just wasn't it #one piece

[uncanny-tranny]

Asexuals and aromantics are actually allowed to do anything they want forever, and it's okay if allo people don't "get it". You don't need to be the perfect aro or ace in order to be aro or ace, I pinky swear

#asexual #ace #aromantic #aro #aroace #lgbt #lgbtq #'if you're ace you should/shouldn't-' shhhhhhhhhhh #i should BE anything other than myself and 'myself' happens to be this way <3 #also hope the alliteration in the first half of the post doesn't trip y'all's brains up to read like it does for me #i shouldn't BE anything other than myself (edit: second tag rant)

[just-a-little-anxious]

being asexual is weird.

like I want people to tell me about their sexual experiences, because my nature, I am a curious person and I want to understand and hear more about the things I don't understand of feel.

But when people are too vague when talking about it, I am like "Hey tell me more", and when people are too detailed, I'm just stuck with that information in my head like "Huh............ kinda wish I didn't know that."

And then I fucking LOVE dirty jokes and innuendos which I make all the time, but when people do it seriously, or mean it, I cringe

and then I am interested in kink culture, for god knows what reason?? I mean tbh being tied up and then nothing else happening sounds kinda fun??? But I'm still asexual??

and I know that I can be asexual and still like all of these things, but I'm still confused about it when it comes to myself. like what am I?? why am I?? this is so confusing???? Also I am like sex favorable and also repulsed at the same time?? like yea sex sounds kinda cool but also ew ew no!! how does that even work???

I hate having to find myself. this shit is so confusing. I just wanna hide in a cave and not deal with it

#anyways there's no point to this rant #sexuality weird. me no understand #asexual #asexuality #ace #acespec #my posts

"Aspec people are not monsters, they still feel love" Aspec people are not monsters beacuse we are living breathing human beings and not some cartoon villain. Some Aspec people don't feel love, not romantic love, not platonic love, nothing. Some allo people don't feel love too, even if they do feel attraction. That doesn't make us any less valuable. That dosent mean we don't have any feelings. Were not valuable beacuse we can fit your idea of what's good and "human", were valuable beacuse were people not hurting anyone and just trying to live our fucking lives. WE ARE NOT MONSTERS. were just different then you. The whole idea of love, romantic love, platonic love, familial love, a bond that is the most valuable thing ever and nothing can defeat, is something that some people could never reach, just beacuse we don't understand what it is. And thats ok.

#kristoph's manipulative behavior towards klavier was so well written in the last case #like him taking any chance he could to belittle him and make him insecure with the hopes of maintaining his control over him #i will not keep ranting about them rn cause i will quite literally explode.. I'll leave it for another time #anyway. Gavins. #ace attorney #aa4 #kristoph gavin #klavier gavin

talking to allos about asexuality as a sex repulsed ace is so wild sometimes

"have you never been turned on? At all???"

Like how tf would I tell you that. And like am I supposed to answer no? Why do you want to know? Why is that a question you ask? bro???

"I'm a pure virgin, who shant do things like, wake up with a boner or have a high libido" like what do you want from me.

Like it's not a dumb question but if you ask me "when ace people get boners what do they do?" You should expect the most "the god dang flippafrack came out of your pie hole" and it better not be followed up with "do they just cry?" because I will not be able to hold myself back from bursting out laughing
