been going a little bit insane about this sentence from Ace by Angela Chen for the past week

#replace this with any other type of significant relationship too #also! this book actually rules btw i really recommend it #i didnt read it when it first cane out bc i was like. well i am already pretty familiar with asexuality and not rly interested in 101 stuff #but it turns out it doesnt feel 101-y at all its a super awesome piece of queer theory and also chen has Good opinions #and not weird watered down ones that i am sometimes wary of in aspec communities (frankly especially ace ones) #i think maybe if more people approached asexuality the way chen does (including and maybe even especially ace people) #i would be more inclined to still ID as ace #but anyways! #aro #aromantic #<- tag selections that reflect how i personally engage with this quote #also #described in alt text #also also #j tag #:/ #aro media

"this character isn't aro they're-"

"this character can't be aro because-"

too late. I've already hit them with my aromantification beam.

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.

It must be weird to live so long that an integral part of himself is now accepted, he'll need more time to get there too

reminder to my fellow aros,

being attached to someone ≠ being romantically attracted to them

have a good day!!

#aro #aromantic #friendly reminder #you silly billys #same applies for finding someone aesthetically pleasing btw

[jamesunderwater]

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 (:

one of my things with love is that i think it's probably like colors. yeah we have a thing that we all sort of agree is red. but we have no way to know if other people see red the same way as us. your red could be totally different from mine and we would never know because it has functionally the same relation to all of us and so we all just call it red. i have no way of knowing if anyone else on earth feels love the exact same way in which i do and in fact i think most people probably don't...

#this is about aromanticism btw #yeah i use love in a conventional way sometimes (telling friends i love them. all that) #genuinely though i do think that i feel love in a different way from everyone else #which is. alienating. #but also. intimate. is the word i want to use i think. #i have this thing that is just for myself. i am so aware of the way that i feel these emotions and they are just for me to understand. #special and beautiful and all that. aromanticism to me #valentine notes #aromantic #aromanticism

[thirteens-pocket-watch]

I'm never gonna understand ppl who think u can't be happy without romantic love. Like do u not get overwhelmingly happy about giving a gift to ur friend that they like? Have u never laughed until your face hurts and u can't breathe bcus u and the bestie can't stop making jokes? Have u never sent a friend a meme or tagged them in a post about a thing they like bcus u saw it and thought of them? Platonic love is just so <3333

#btw loveless aros ur all amazing <3333 #just wanted to make a post about how much i love my frienfs #aromantic #actually aromantic #platonic love #aro

[shmaroace]

talking to allos is insane because they'll say something that is completely different from your experience and be like "yeah that's normal though"

#i was talking about my limited and mostly aesthetic attraction and they were like. oh that's so weird #you're weird to me you know. your little full attraction is strange to me. btw #aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #acespec #aroace #aspec

hearing murph saying that his characters are all like secretly grizzled old knights makes me want an au with fabian as like the spoiled prince and riz as his knight bodyguard. they solve mysteries

#this isn’t fabriz btw i am very firmly on the aromantic riz train #i just love medieval aus #fabian has absolutely no interest in solving mysteries but riz has to go pretty much everywhere he goes #so he has to just like con fabian into going places so he can solve mysteries #fantasy high #fabian seacaster #dimension 20 #d20 #riz gukgak

Hot take:

If a character doesn’t have a canon Sexuality and/or Gender Identity there isn’t any harm in having your own headcannons.

Specially Changing a characters Canonical Sexuality/Gender Identity so it fits better with your ships is disgusting behavior.

I’m looking all you Radio/Whatever shippers in the eyes when I say this.

Alastor is Aroace.

If he were in a relationship with someone, it would be a QueerPlatonic one. He wouldn’t be having kids with anyone. He wouldn’t be kissing anyone. He is Asexual and Aromantic.

And it’s getting increasingly frustrating as an Aroace person with even Less representation in Media than other lgbtq+ sexualities/identities, to see what little representation we do have get changed and disregarded.

It isn’t even about Alastor at this point, there’s so many Ace and Aro coded characters, or canon Ace characters, who get ignored, overlooked, or have their sexualities changed to something else and I’m so tired of it.

Asexual and Aromantic people aren’t any less valid than any other Sexuality. We deserve to have representation in the media, and we deserve to have that representation respected by other members of the lgbtq+ community.

[edonee]

The existence of "aromantic straight men" implies that there are straight men who genuinely love women, which is a laughable absurdity

#oh you fuck women you don't care for? what a novel idea!! #all men are aromantic btw #radblr #radical feminism #radblr shitposting

[gay-otlc]

Happy pride month aros

#aromantic #aro #i want this on a t shirt #avi if you've seen this already. no you haven't #btw do not tag this as ace. this is about aromanticism okay. not asexuality
