Kpop songs I love as an aro
Its pride month and this is how I, an aro kpop stan, am choosing to celebrate and raise awareness
1. Anti romantic - txt
Sorry I'm an anti-romantic
I don't believe it anymore, romantic
I burn my whole heart
Says it in the title lol. I don't think the translated lyrics really are "anti-romantic" but it sure is fun to sing that line
2. Twit - hwasa
You make me loyal
You make me hero
You make me genius
You give so much but why are you the only unhappy one?
Cuz you only breathe for me
You look so lonely
I find that in a lot of love songs, especially in kpop, there's this obsession that makes me uncomfortable. Like "I only need you and I will change myself for you and without this relationship I'm depressed etc" and it feels very wrong. But I feel like this song is directly against that kind of romance and she's encouraging this guy to focus on something other than their relationship, and I really appreciate that
3. Friends - bts
You are my soulmate
I love love love love this song. It's a celebration of a deep friendship, and jimin and taehyung saying they're platonic soulmates like this is just amazing. I want what they have
4. What is love - twice
Every day, I felt love only in the movies
Or in books or dramas
Mmm, that’s how I learned love
Okay this song does put romance on a bit of a pedestal BUT I find it relatable, especially when I didn't know I was aro. Seeing romance in media but not experiencing it myself, I often wondered what it was like and thought that one day I would meet someone who made me feel that. And now I know I'm aro, I like this song cus yeah what is love and why does it make people feel this way? Please let me know I'm so confused
5. Happening - akmu
How can you make me
Repeat the same words twice
Look at your teary eyes
It’s made it all too serious
Idk if this is accurate but I interpret this song as being about unrequited feelings, like chanhyuks part is the person in love and suhyun is the person who doesn't feel the same. When people express romantic feelings for you when you don't reciprocate, it hurts and it's difficult to know what to say (especially when you're repulsed like me), and I feel like this song captures that attitude
6. How can I say - day6
I hate me now
I hate myself for not having butterflies
From some point, my heart doesn’t react anymore
Sometimes I hate being aro, I think we can all struggle with our queer identities especially when we are surrounded by a amatonormative heteronormative society, and I find it definitely happens when someone has a crush on me that I cannot reciprocate. This song is very relatable during those times
7. You don't shine anymore - stella jang
'Good friends are like the stars
You don't see in the bright sunshine
They shine in the dark'
While this song is overall sad I find these lyrics really beautiful. Any song that appreciates friendship like this instantly has a place in my heart. And shout out to her for having a lot of non romance songs with really good lyrics and a really unique sound, she deserves a lot more credit and love
8. Not spring, love, or cherry blossoms - high4 & iu
Everyone but me is in love,
singing spring songs
Flowers bloom and sway before my eyes
But I want to hear something else
Something to sweep away everything
Not spring, love or cherry blossoms
It wouldn't be my list without iu. I find the feeling of being surrounded by love, especially in songs, and feeling like you're missing out on something and being tired of hearing about it very relatable (and like with a lot of ius songs I love the nature imagery)
9. Dance on my own - loona
I don't need somеone to feel something
It's just me, mysеlf, and I love it
I just wanna dance, dance, dance on my own
We love songs that fight against the idea that you need a romantic partner. It may be more of a break up song but that's okay, I'll take what I can
10. Feel special - twice
One moment I feel like I’m nothing at all
Like no one would notice if I were gone
But then when I hear you calling me
I feel loved, I feel so special
Another song about the importance of friendship and platonic love. I know the members didn't write the lyrics, but it was written about their relationships with each other and how they help each other, and I think that's really beautiful
And tbh I appreciate just any song that isn't about romance because most songs are about romance and I'm tired, it's like a pleasant surprise when I find lyrics that are about anything else
Happy pride!

I was watching spy x family with friends and one of them went “if this is propaganda to have children and work for a government agency it’s working” and we all laughed but the more we watched we were like “…….oh my god is this propaganda to have children?”

American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!
Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder
╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher
#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies#(more thoughts at the end of the tags)#shameless#shamelessnet#shamelessedit#ian gallagher#cameron monaghan#*macygifs#bipolar disorder#hello pals how are we doin#i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags#and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes)#i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation#that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day#world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder#which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life#while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life#and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines#over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful#i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended#hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles#world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder#and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized)#it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all#it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen#so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can.#we are worth it#i promise#anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder#go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives
