Any other aros who have absolutely zero interest in ever wanting a romantic relationship for themselves but are freaks about their few fictional ships? No? Just me?

I'm, above all else, a tangentgirl. always saying shit like "sidenote," "oh also," "by the way,"

Sorry I didn't respond to your text right away- when the constant demand of staying connected gets too much for me I throw my phone into the woods. That weird text you got earlier was from a possum. Sorry if she was rude.

2025 is the year of aromanticism

[purpleishpandas]

alas, life trots on 😔 let's just say 2.22 so I hold myself accountable

Theres a unique kind of heartbreak that happens when you discover being aromantic. For other orientations there's the knowledge that despite the world being against you, you can still find "your person" to get through it with, but there isnt really an aromantic equivalent of that

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

so I've been noticing lately that there's a growing divide between the "I HATE romance under all circumstances and at all times" (romance repulsed) and "romance is GREAT and I love it just as much as any allo person" (romance favorable) aros. while being either is fine, there are many aros who aren't either, so...

here's the romance-indifferent aros. here's to the aros who only like romance once and while. here's to the aros who enjoy romance-focused stories but get annoyed when it shows up anywhere else. here's to the aros who are incredibly picky when it comes to romance (but when it does fit their standards they really do enjoy it). here's to the aros who find their preferences changing a lot. here's to the aros who are neither romance repulsed nor romance favorable, because our community can never be divided into two, perfectly opposing sides.

I find myself thinking "god, I need a cigarette" way too often for someone who doesn't actually smoke. but what can I say. I've been needing a cigarette

Fucked up that you have to go to work during the winter. Should be curled up in a little nest with several months' supply of food stocked up right now.
