thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'

thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet

thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE

thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band

thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better

thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography

thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart

thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.

thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.

thinking about Lovejoy.

Aroace culture is finding out as an adult that sex and romance is not just an over exaggerated concept but a very real thing people like/do 😵‍💫

aro love

Have you ever sat down and looked at one of your friends and just, like, fell in love? Not in a romantic way, no. But, you just look at this person and you know you want to be with them for the rest of your life. They’re like your family, your partner in life, and you just love them so much. The amount of shit I see online about non-romantic love is insane. Like, your feelings don’t matter if you’re not making out with a person.

Don’t talk to me about love. I know love. Do you?

When you’re aro and you dare forget that your idea of “real questions” probably isn’t the same as most people’s

Joke’s on me I’m in a QPR now but y’know it ain’t the same exactly

Hello! I made a survey about aromantic representation in media! It’s not that long, only a couple pages. you’ll be done in a jiffy (unless you have adhd, then clear your calendar for the next week /j)

I’m a story-teller and I want to create an aromantic story, but I am nothing but one person with one personal experience so i need other people’s brains to help me.

uhh, please do it and i’ll send you a picture of a bear sitting oddly on a rock if you ask nicely <3

***SURVEY HAS BEEN CLOSED***

PLEASE GO TO @all-of-the-aromantic-characters FOR MORE CONTENT

SUMMARY OF RESULTS WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD PROBABLY BE POSTED SOON (most likely in 2022, yes i have adhd)!!

Can we as a society just collectively decide to end the idea that being without a romantic partner is something that should be pitied?!? It is the WORST feeling ever when I tell someone that I’m aromantic and they express in some way that they’re sorry for me.

I am SO HAPPY to be aromantic and non-partnering. It brings me so much joy to know that I am whole by myself and that I don’t need anyone else to complete me. I don’t need to worry about meeting anyone’s relationship standards but my own. Not to mention the relief that comes with not having to adjust myself to fit into the society’s expectation of me. Every day I discover new unique viewpoints that are influenced by my identity. I get to live my life the way I want to live it, and celebrate my own unique experiences with so many others who are like me.

So yeah. I see no reason why anyone else should feel sad for me when I’m living my best life and have no intention of changing. Telling me you’re sorry for me doesn’t do anything but make me upset. I’m happy. That’s what matters.

growing up as an arospec ace kid, I used to spend so much time wishing I was "normal", wishing I got crushes and shit like everyone else. which sounds super stereotypical and angsty, but whatever.

before I learned those words, I just though there was something wrong with me.

after I learned them, it was really nice to have that community, and know there were other people like me, but I still found myself wishing I was allo, bc that would have made things so much easier for me.

looking back on it now, though, I'm so happy to be aroace. bc while I admit it was a hellscape for awhile, I have insight on things that a lot of allo ppl will never even think about.

the difference between sexual and romantic attraction.

what sexual and romantic attraction even are.

the importance of platonic, familial, etc relationships.

how sexual relationships ≠ sexual attraction, and romantic relationships ≠ romantic attraction

and so many more things that I can't think of right this second

but because I never experienced those types of attraction, I had to think about them so much more, while ppl who do experience sexual and romantic attraction are considered the default, so it's not something they ever had to consider.

idk where I was going with this but ANYWAY—

how do you explain to an alloromantic person the desire to have an intense emotional connection with someone, but not romantically?

Like, you're my soulmate, but not in the way where we're lovers. You're my soulmate as in you're like an extension of myself, the person I can't imagine living without. The air in my lungs, the ground beneath my feet. The eye of my storm.

You're my best friend in the greatest definition of the word. My love, but not my lover.

When you're so devoted to someone that the lines of platonic and romantic become completely irrelevant.

Apologies to the boy in 6th grade who asked me out and I rejected by saying “ew, no” and when he said it was a dare I went “thank god”

Turns out I am very aromantic

p.s. extra sorry for telling that as a funny “the only time I’ve been asked out was a dare” story for the last 8 years. I have been informed that it was, in fact, probably not a dare

Looking back, I should've known I was aroace when I preferred to call any and every romantic relationship a partnership because it just felt better and right for me to think of it as two people living side by side and just working together while admiring each other platonically :))

#Like partners for a project #partners in crime #dance partners, etc.!

#You get it 💛💛💛

Maple candy, sleep, pets as children, cats, reptiles, rocks, smells, plants, weaponry, juice boxes, dragons, phoenixes, godlike behavior, chemistry, destroying Portugal

This is a PSA: ACE ≠ ARO

I’m both tired but also kinda of sad to see the same stuff constantly getting mistaken, ESPECIALLY because I see it THE MOST from THE QUEER COMMUNITY

ASEXUALS ARE NOT ALWAYS AROMANTIC

I really can’t believe I have to say this but asexual just means no sexual attraction. Asexuals can be Aromantic or Arospec, but they can also be alloromantic!!

like, asexual people can totally have different boundaries for what qualifies as romantic or sexual in nature, that’s fine, but painting all asexual people as not interested in romantic stuff not only invalidates a lot of ace experiences, but it also erases Aromantic experiences.

Aromantic and Asexual are SEPARATE IDENTITIES
