Being somewhere on both aro and ace spectrums and having a partner is such an odd type of erasure. Like up until accidentally starting to date my current partner, I'd always just say "I don't really date" if people asked about my romantic life and just left it there. I knew that I was so rarely romantically attracted to people, it wasn't never, but the number of people I've been romantically attracted to in my entire life is maybe three? My partner is one of the three, so I ended up having this cute person that I'm romantically attracted to and now share large portions of my life with, but my identity hasn't changed. Our relationship is the rarity, not the normal for me, but now when people ask, and I tell them I have a partner, that larger portion of me that doesn't always understand why other people are so set on having a partner or why there's so much stigma around being single, is just erased in that person's eyes.
I was happy alone and didn't feel like anything was missing. I'm also happy with my partner. But I just hate that the aro (and ace) spectrum parts of my identity become invisible as soon as I mention my partner.

When demisexuals and demiromantics say people criticise them for being "picky", I find it so bizarre. Like,
"Finish your whole boyfriend or you won't get any dessert"
"If you don't go out with her you'll get her cold for breakfast"
"I'm not going to make a separate spouse for everyone in this house, you'll marry what you're given".
"Think of the starving incels!"
I mean... a relationship is not a poorly-cooked family dinner that you have to choke down or you'll offend grandma. You're supposed to be picky.

I’m writing a character that’s demi or gray (not sure yet just know that I want them to be aroace spec), but there’s just no way they would know the terms (I want to use them but the world is such that it would be too jarring for anyone to know any specific terms) so I want to describe the experience in a way that makes it very clear that they are aspec. Anyone who experiences attraction infrequently, would love it if you could hmu or share what the experience of discovering attraction for the first time was like/how it came on (was it sudden? Gradual? Etc)

The Demisexual/Demiromantic experience is
...being unable to relate to Allo and Aroace narratives. We're both and neither.

people who are on both spectrums, how do you feel about terms like demirose and greyrose to describe people who are both demi/greysexual and demi/greyromantic?
-that's how i identify!
-i don't identify that way but i like them
- i don't care either way
- i don't like them
- see results

making free pride icons for aromantic spectrum awareness week
Next week is aro week and I really want to draw stuff for people <2
.
Send in a character and an arospec flag of your choice either in replies here or in my askbox and I'll try to do them all!
(rain world and hollow knight friends can also send them to my sideblog @misfiterators since your messages are less likely to get buried over there)
examples:
(feat. @jesuisgay and @irritable-spherical-objects)
the finished icons will all be posted this weekend, just in time to be used during aro week!!

don’t kill me for this but:
Alastor, to me, is polyamorous demisexual/demiromantic. I understand the loveless and sex repulsed folks wanting rep, but I do too! Just. Be respectful. 𐂂 ₊⛧⊹
EDIT: FOR FUCK’S SAKE KEEP YOUR PISSY BULLSHIT OFF THIS POST. PLEASE.

Recently, I was watching YouTube and saw a video with someone talking about being demisexual. I took a look at the comments and they were all dismissing it as "the norm". As a demirose person, I hate how so many people don't understand demisexuality and demiromantisim. And even if they don't understand, it'd be great to at least have them be respectful about other people's sexualities instead of saying that they don't exist or are invalid.

does anyone have any recommendations for queerplatonic relationships in the media? books, shows, movies, etc. that showcase relationships that are more than friends but also don’t have characters kissing or doing more

Greyrose & Demirose
So @gray-ace-space suggested doing these two flags as well.
For anyone who doesn't know greyrose / grayrose is a combo of greyasexual and greyromantic. Demirose is demisexual and demiromantic.
Greyrose
Demirose
