I'm not aromantic but I believe in their beliefs

#trying to push out amatonormativity from at least their little corners of the universe...they are So Right for that!!!!! #also i say im not aromantic but tbh honestly tbh im probably on the aro spectrum #'who were all of your childhood crushes! who was your first love that you definitely already had! how many times have you fallen in love!' #um. uh. well. you see. *knocks over a glass of water and runs away*

Idk who needs to hear this, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a purely platonic-sexual relationship with no romance. Yes, even if the person who wants it is a straight man.

edit: reblogs are off because radblr/TERFs/excursionists are passing around a pathetic retort like it's gold. [okay it's been a bit they're back on. all aspec people are queer <2]

#i said this #still bothereed by a post i saw a week ago #aro #aromantic #men #relationships #wow surprised and happy with the response to this post #omg it's probably one of my top posts now

I love my life highly satisfied just being myself

(Female version here)

#okey so as my 'I love myself' post is the most popular thing on my blog (500 notes already yet still growing and it's wild😆) #I decided to make a male version just in case anybody needed it😉 #anyone having more idea - pls go ahead and tell me I'd love to make it a happy queer series! it doesn't need to be aspec only😉 #aroace #aro #ace #aromantic #asexual #aromantic asexual #aromantism #asexuality #aspec #a spec #a spectrum #aroace positivity #aro ace #queer #queer positivity #(I'm most probably only shooting myself in the foot giving two similar pictures but who knows where it may lead) #2K

I don’t understand the concept of sex as the natural progression of romance. I understand having sex, I understand how it can be romantic, I just don’t understand how it is seen as the only course that romance takes.

Like love confessions immediately turning to sex is always so ???????? to me. Like ok get it I guess but how did we get here???

#it’s just very confusing to me #i don’t quite get how romance and sex are connected #to me those are two very disconnected things #like yeah i could probably hook up with a hot girl at a club #but i don’t think id ever confess my love to someone and immediately #jump their bones or whatever #what even is love actually #might be aro #idk #asexual #aroace #cw sex mention #asexuality #cw sexuality #arospec #acespec #my txt

[aroacewolfic]

I hate it when people's first reaction to me saying I'm aroace is "oh but don't you wanna have a partner and kids in the future, won't you be sad without that" Like no bitch I'm gonna be happy living alone in the peace and quiet with my cats and dogs and 1000 books to keep me company and I'm gonna be just as happy and complete as every other person out there if not happier.

#rage post #aroace rage #like yes i can find people attractive #BUT THATS BECAUSE IM NOT BLIND #im probably demiromantic but at the same time romance looks boring so imma just say no #aro #aromantic #aroace #ace #arospec #asexual #acespec #aroace pride #aromantic asexual #ace pride #aro pride #aspec #everyone is valid #but aroace is better

I'll never understand why people assume that something being a phase is a bad thing, especially when it comes to identity. because the thing is that our lives are made up of phases - they always have and always will. nothing, and i mean nothing, stay's completely the same forever. it's always changing ever so slightly - we are always changing ever so slightly.

We grew up in phases. We would grow up and maybe we liked robots as a kid but then as we grew up we instead decided dinosaurs were cooler - you didn't see people getting up in arms about how a kid liking something was just a phase and why that made their experience with that interest invalid.

We grow up choosing random jobs that we think would be cool as a kid but then as we get older we tend to choose something completely different - no one ever shut down those dream jobs for kids because it's understood that changing your mind isn't a bad thing. It's not bad to say "i want to be an astronaut" and then change that later. No one makes a big deal about "how do you know you actually want to be an astronaut, though?" because that's seen as a silly question to be asking.

it shouldn't be any different for identity. "How do you know you're aromantic?" how do you know you're straight? how do you know you won't change your mind later and realize something about yourself as you grow as a person?

sure, i'm aroace now. That may stay the same it may not. I'm a human being who grows and changes just like you are. Just like we all are. that's the whole point, isn't it? to grow and change?

So what if being aro or ace is a phase. The experience isn't any less valid. it still helped build me as a person. my life was richer because of it, even if it was temporary. I'd rather grow as a person and be happy than feel miserable because I forced myself into stagnation.

#text #marriage can also be a phase. attraction is a phase #you have probably had multiple partners in your life time. they all count as phases in your life too #aro #ace #aromantic #asexual #aroace #only tagging these becuz its what i mostly see with this argument #anyone can reblog tho if this fits u

[feelingthedisaster]

i just love how aspecs are so present on tumblr. not only posts about being aspec, but in posts about literally anything else, you see the profile picture of the original poster/reblogger and it has a aspec pride flag on it

#we are everywhere #aromantic #aro #ace #asexual #aspec #arospec #acespec #aroace #aplatonic #other aspec identities im probably forgetting (sorry) #lgbtqia+

[aromantic-diaries]

Honestly I'm glad that the aro community is moving from "we still love our friends and family we're not heartless!" to "we don't need to make up for our lack of romantic attraction with other forms of love" because yeah, our platonic and/or familial relationships are not romance-lite or a substitute for romantic love and a lot of aros reject the idea of love altogether. So yeah fuck trying to appeal to alloromantic people with the whole "we swear we're normal" thing. I don't need to make sense to anyone

Either you accept me as I am whether you understand me or not or you leave me the fuck alone

#aro #aromantic #arospec #not to mention my already existing struggle with connecting to people which was a problem before i even knew i was aro #and probably isn't related to it and has more to do with my history of rocky friendships full of dissapointment and letdowns #so my lack of romantic feelings are not to blame for my antisocial tendencies #of course there definetly are aros who are lonely souls like me and their aromanticism is connected to that but guess what #they don't owe you shit either and are not ''proof'' that aromanticism is miserable and lonely #those of us who are alone are not ''proof'' that we're incomplete without romance

[aro-and-ace-memes-thoughts]

It's kinda sad people accept more when I say "I'm not interested in dating" than "I'm aroace" (or similar). They assume the first one is temporary, they can't accept I'm not like them and not liking someone ever doesn't mean something's wrong with me

#hi I havent written stuff here for a while #the previous post I reblogged inspired this #lately my aroace identity has been a secondary characteristic about me #I barely think about it because it's such a passive thing #but yeah #I probably would talk about it more irl if people accepted more and it was more known #the I'm not interested in that stuff is good enough for me to say #and I only actually come out to those I trust the most #aromantic #aro #asexual #ace #aroace

Michael straight up writing erotic gay fan fiction about Lucian and Aro in a 2012 interview and I am losing my mind...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #i'm screaming #aro #twilight #lucian #underworld #there is no heterosexual explanation for this #at this point i hope anyone who still thinks Michael is straight #can just disabuse themselves of that notion #because dear god #and if he's imagined this with Aro and Lucian he has probably imagined endless smutty scenarios with Aziraphale and Crowley #i think Michael has been telling us exactly who he is for a long time now #bless his bisexual Welsh chaos #i need to lie down now

[mossy-aro]

me: only portraying aspec characters as robots/aliens is harmful representation because it reinforces the idea that aro/acespec people are emotionless, cold, and less than human for not experiencing attraction

also me when i see a robot character actually experiencing attraction: GRRRRR give me back my emotionless asexual aromantic ‘doesn’t understand basic human emotions’ robot rep u fucking bastards!!! 😡

#we only get represented in robots at this point so im protective over them. does that make sense LMFAO #yeah it’s probably bad rep but i don’t CARE. all robots are aspec idc #asexual #aromantic #aroace #aro #ace #aspec
