me currently:

“i want people to have crushes on me so badly because i thrive on external validation and im super insecure so i really really want people to have crushes on me”

also me, being aroace and sex/romance-repulsed (if someone has a crush on me):

“pleasepleasepleaseplease nobody have a crush on me and ESPECIALLY DONT TELL ME because then i have to reject you and i hate rejecting people and then i’ll probably have to come out to avoid hurting anyone because i overthink everything ahahahha”

Yknow aromantic and asexual need to start being shown as two different labels more often. Cuz like we aroace people are cool and we have the power to destroy god right, but like aroallo people and alloace people are just as fucking cool.

What is this whole "one cannot exist without the other" bullshit. That kinda shit is only supposed to happen with like life and death. light and dark. peace and chaos. we don't need that, cuz we're all just pure chaos. you want peace look elsewhere, bc aro without the ace and ace without the aro is very welcome into our aro and ace spaces of madness and maniacal plotting to take over the world.

#mfs are just mad because “wHY aRe yOu hAVinG sEx wiTHouT rOMaNCe” and “WhY ARe YoU hAVinG rOmaNce wiThouT sEx” #like bro stfu people will pick and choose whatever they want in a relationship #as long as all parties consent what the hell does it matter #aromantic #aro #asexual #ace #aroace #aroallo #aceallo #alloaro #alloace #queer #lgbtq+ #lgbt pride #pride #aro pride #ace pride

sometimes being aroacespec is confusing. what do you mean, most people can tell the difference between platonic and romantic and sexual attraction? what do you mean people don't "choose" crushes? what do you mean that people can imagine themselves in a physical situation with someone else?? isn't dating just Friendship Plus??? hell, isn't marriage just Friendship Plus?????????

what do they mean??????????? what are feelings???? why am i so confused????????

*edit: changed "aroace" to "aroacespec", since several aromantic people felt that this was not an Aromantic Feeling. i see you, i hear you, and so i changed it to be more accurate to me personally, since i am Confused About Feelings Always

#void keith talks #aroace #aromantic #asexual #aro #ace #aromantic asexual #i'm so confused as an autistic aroace person #about every emotion i have about another person ever #and i also read a lot of romance so like. i know what romance is *supposed* to look like #i know the ideal and the not ideal #but i have no idea about any sort of romantic social cues irl #because i'm bad with social cues. i miss them a lot or i misinterpret them #i'm good with body language because i was taught a lot of it early #but social cues are different and some change over time which is INCREDIBLY confusing #and also like? i don't feel stable enough or mentally healthy enough to be in a relationship #i feel like it would be unfair for a potential partner(s) for them to be in a relationship with me #because i just Don't Have My Shit Together. like at all #i Only Like Fictional People That Way #fictoromantic #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbt+ #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia #lgbtqia+ #arospec #aromantic spectrum #aroacespec

Friendly reminder that not all aroace people are completely repulsed.

Everyone's experiences with being aromantic/asexual vary a lot & that's okay.

Nobody can dictate who's actually aromantic/asexual because sexuality is a fluid thing.

#text post #lgbtq #lgbt #aroace #aromantic #asexual #I'm cupio & I feel like most people think all aroace people hate the idea of attraction completely #I feel like the community reinforces that stereotype despite disliking stereotypes because they other us #aro #ace

Here’s my hot take!!

When people try to make sexualities into Oc’s or characters,they always make their interpretation of asexuality a sad,serious,low energy “emo kid (derogatory)” ,while all the other sexuality characters are happy little goobers…it honestly irks me a lot >:(

Here’s an illustration to show what I mean!!

I’ll just say this!! If you’re gonna try to force the diversity of a single sexuality into one characterisation…

LET 👏 ASEXUALS👏BE👏GOOBERS👏👏👏

(Please <3)

#I guess this is the problem with creating a character based off a single sexuality!! #So many different types of people can be that sexuality!! #so trying to create a single character based off of the sexuality ignores all the people that don’t relate to that character!! #I’m AroAce and…I’d say pretty extroverted and happy!! #And then people make my sexuality into someone who I just…don’t relate to #and all the other characters look all happy and high energy and stuff!! #But not Asexuals #WE NEED MORE ASEXUAL CHARACTERS WHO ARE EXCITEABLE LITTLE GOOBERS!!!!!!!!! #At least we have Spunchbop!! #Asexual #Asexuality #LGBT #LGBT+ #LGBTQ #LGBTQ+ #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIA+ #Rambling #rant

i do believe that the queer community overlooks the incredible pain/hurt that comes with being aromantic

#i see so many things about how awful and painful it is to be lesbian or smth like that #and no doubt i believe you and i'm so sorry to all the queers out there who had to hide who they love or are attracted to #i sympathise with you i promise #but i really don't think people understand how hurtful being aromantic or asexual is #we dont really talk about it #but it is. so. painful. #and i want other queer people to know and understand this #aromatic #asexual #lgbt #aroace #aromantic asexual #asexuality #aspec

[universe-of-peoples]

Does anyone else on the aroace spectrum ever feel like

I’m in my twenties and I WANT these big epic romances I see in movies and tv and books and even in my social circles but

I literally feel no attraction to anyone

Like I feel like I’m missing out on this life experience but I can’t help it

#and then the one person I did ever like didn’t like me back so there’s that #I’m demisexual btw #asexual #ace #aroace #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #aromantic #ace spec #asexual spectrum #demisexual #demiromantic #gray asexual #graysexual #queer #also the amount of people trying to diagnose my identity from this post #I know you mean well and are trying to be helpful #but I was trying to make a relatable post about a feeling I’ve had lately #and ngl some of the identity suggestions come off a little condescending #esp when I already put my identity in the tags #idk

[mecharose]

the ace hate is not an online exclusive thing either. last year I had my (gay) college roommate laugh in my face over "it's so stupid how asexual people think they're queer - not you though because you're also a lesbian :)" the year before that my (gay) friends would tell me over and over "some asexual people have sex why not you?" "you've never tried it how do you know?" and my favorite, one of them would literally just constantly say "i hate asexual people"

meanwhile I just tell my (straight) roommates now "it's like having post nut clarity forever" and theyre like OHH THATS GAS and that's the end of it. forever. do you guys like want me to become a supervillain or

#SALTY POST!!! #i will never forgive the tumblr lgbts for how they treated and continue to treat asexual people :) #and the conditional acceptance bc I like girls. it just feels so fucking patronizing #how are YOU gonna get so upset someone ELSE doesn't wanna fuck!!! I wasn't gonna fuck you anyways!!! #asexual #liv shouts into the void

“queer spaces should be inclusive of people who don’t enjoy sex and who have “strange”, negative or repulsed relationships with sex” and “sex is an important aspect of lgbt community, history, and activism and queer people should be allowed and able to talk freely about sex without stigma or shame” are ideas that can and should coexist.

#‘queer people were banned from and shamed for having sex and that’s where a lot of our activism stemmed from’ and #‘not liking or having sex is considered abnormal and a mental illness and also needs to be destigmatized’ are concepts that not only can but #often do coalign #it’s esp important to consider that a lot of lgbt ppl who have a tricky and strained relationship with sex are like that because of trauma #which is very common for queer folks #it’s really not an ace-only thing #like i am sex repulsed but it’s very hard to discern if it’s because i’m asexual or if it’s the trauma. either way i deserve to have those #feelings and be included in lgbt spaces and discussions about sex and treated as just another queer person with a different experience #instead of being alienated because my feelings about sex don’t directly line up with yours #im so sick of people in this community trying to pit us against each other. as an ace lesbian that shit is so toxic and harmful #my relationship with sex is fluid. im sex-positive always‚ but i often find myself sex repulsed. im otherwise neutral about it but im sick #of people acting like it’s either you enjoy sex and have it frequently or you hate it and you shame everyone who has it like youre a puritan #and it’s often aphobes who bought into that ‘aces are puritanical celibate straights who want ppl who have gay sex to die or think they’re #‘dirty’ or some shit. and it was literally 90% crypto-aphobes pretending to be aces to get people to adopt that into their belief system #the same way crypto-t/rfs pretend to be trans women who want to prey on the ‘innocent women’ #and y’all will use those posts/screenshots as ‘evidence’ that whatever scapegoat you’ve selected is actually inherently bad/homophobic/ #misogynistic/etc and not even #acknowledge the giant hole in your logic cuz you’re too busy trying to find a scapegoat #it’s the same tactics and y’all fall for it every time #text post #like. lesbians are CONSTANTLY getting hounded and told that we’re broken or mentally i’ll for not showing interest in (having sex with) men #for the same reason asexuality is considered bad or wrong or weird #not showing interest in heterosexual relationships or sex is why this is so important #anyone that falls outside the scope of heterosexuality is part of this community whether you like it or not
