If this post gets:
100 notes I'll explain my gender to my friends and tell them my pronouns
500 notes I'll explain my romantic orientation to my friends (they think I'm aroace, I just identify as ace) ✓
1000 notes I'll come out to my sibling (they're agender, I know they'll support me)
10 000 notes I'll come out to my sister (she has pronouns in her discord bio, it'll be fine)
100 000 notes I'll tell my best friend I love her
1 000 000 notes I'll come out to my homophobic, transphobic conservative Christan family that I live with (they still talk to my agender sibling, so it'll just be very awkward for the next few years...)

I could write 20 pages against exclusionist arguments but nothing I could say would be as efficient as this

aroace people are so cool because if they live without a spouse and it’s just them theres so much more room for pokemon plushies and other trinkets

My life is officially all downhill from here
There is absolutely no way my life could get any better after being good girl’d by a random witch lady on tiktok. I’m sorry. It’s just downhill from here for me.

i hate the stereotype that ALL aroaces are loveless because like.. no??
Loveless people are amazing and extremely valid, but I'm certainly not one of them.
I personally am extremely aroace and extremely loving. God was like "ah shit we forgot to put romantic and sexual attraction in this mf let's just platonically supercharge them to make up for it".
And to me personally, my aroace identity goes hand in hand with my being extremely platonically loving. The two aren't opposing forces, they're joined hand in hand, interwoven through each other to make a beautiful patterned fabric filled with many different beautiful colours.
My best friends are the loves of my life. They're my platonic soulmates. I would want to spend the rest of my life with them. I adore everything about them, and try to help their best side shine through so that everyone else can see their wonderful glimmer. I could spent eternity hanging out with my best friends and never run out of social energy because I don't have to attempt to conform or hide the weirder shades of my personality. Just being around them is so easy and freeing and just always fills me with such joy.
But oh, because I don't want to kiss them it's not real love and somehow less meaningful than romance???
Fuck off, amatonormativity.
(THIS POST IS NOT TO BE USED AGAINST LOVELESS AROACES IN ANY WAY, EVER. YOU GUYS ARE VALID, YOU'RE ICONIC AND YOU NEED MORE APPRECIATION. SENDING INFINITE GOOD VIBES YOUR WAY.)

Being asexual and possibly aromantic but also being a huge shipper and hopeless romantic is such a wild experience ngl. I'm always freaking out about my favorite ships and giggling internally reading ship fics, getting invested in characters finally kissing or reading about their pining and their love and I think "I want what they have!!"
But then sometimes you have a slamming realization that your sweet shipping scenarios you imagine in your head look totally different irl and that you are extremely aspec.
One time I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and stumbled across Vsauce's "Why Do We Kiss?" video and let me tell you. When I saw that stock video footage of two people kissing each other I was a little flabbergasted lmaooo

no because it’s actually so important to me, as an aroace girl, that barbie maintained her boundaries of not being interested in any romantic relationship

“it’s okay if you don’t want that now!”
is it okay if i don’t want that ever? is it okay if i never desire sexual relationships, or engage in romance? am i only ‘redeemable’ if i entertain YOUR ideals of sex and/or romance? will you still view me as human?
