#Asexual? I think?

Every second remain alive I become more and more convinced that you only way someone could ever stand a chance of successfully romancing me would be to pretend they have zero romantic feelings for me (or even better, genuinely only think of me platonically) and be my close friend for a minimum of two years, and THEN broach the subject of them liking me. Because that's the only way my brain will ever even consider putting this person into the category of romantic partner/possibility.
#I feel like any time someone approaches me with romantic intentions - even respectful ones#It doesn't matter how much time or how many intimate conversations we have#I will never be fully comfortable with them#My brain rejects them#I'm repelled by the thought of going out with someone I don't know#And if they did approach me that way and I was like let's be friends for a while see how that goes#Even if nothing happened and it was never brought up my brain would just always be like “this person wants to be with you”#“They want to date you or maybe even fuck you”#And that would just sour the friendship for me#I would never be able to get comfortable and that does not a friendship make#Which rules out the possibility of any FUTURE romantic interest bc I'll never feel close enough to be interested#Does that make sense?#I've only ever been in one relationship and I hated it#Asexual? I think?#Maybe even aromantic shit#Demiromantic? Is that a thing? Gotta be#Asexual#asexuality#demiromantic#Demisexual#aroace#aromantic#aromantism

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely
like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day
#on love#aroace experiences#aroace#aromantic#asexual#aspec#aroacespec#sunbloom talks#<3#just late night revelations#i like love and i love people :)#edit: loveless aros friendly btw#i think that's what i meant when i said love but not really all those months ago#“incredible fondness” is the phrase i really like instead of love#people need to stop coming onto this post being like “nO!! this IS love!!!” shut up you dont know me. maybe it is maybe its not#this was about personal experiences and it blew up somehow unfortunately lol

I love it when my irl friends know I'm aroace because it means I can just hug them without them feeling like there are any scary obligations or implications there.
My best friend at college said it best I think:
"Sometimes I think I want a boyfriend, but then I realize. No. I really just want a hug. And then I go and find you and I get a hug and then I don't want a boyfriend anymore."
Like. Bro. Sometimes my friends just need a hug without having to worry about anything else. And I'm so glad that I'm capable of giving it to them.
Anyway, shoutout to all my online friends that I can't hug, I'm giving you a virtual one!

The funniest shit about asexuals is that all of us grew up consuming media that talks on and on about sexual attract and desire, with a pretty hypersexualized culture and people talk about it a fucking lot too. And what is that we all collectively think? "Yeah, that's clearly an exaggeration, nobody actually feels like that! The whole world it's pretending, that's the only possible explanation..." Like sure buddy, that's a very logical way of thinking, the entire world is acting, don't think too hard about it
#every asexual i came across had this particular way of thinking and I'm obsessed about it#glad to know I'm not the only one🥰#asexual#acespec#asexuality

i will never understand the emphasis society places on romantic relationships. why is the ideal future always portrayed as living with your significant other in a happy, committed, romantic relationship? why is there a whole holiday dedicated towards romantic love? i've heard so many people i know say that they're so lonely because they aren't in a romantic relationship, and i can't help but wonder how are they lonely with so many friends around them? so many things have become romanticized to the point where people no longer think it's socially acceptable to do them with friends. maybe people would feel less lonely then if it was normal to hold hands with people, to give them your sweaters, to lay together on the couch while watching a show. human connection is so so so important. i will never understand how is it that in a world full of love, we only seem to idolize one part of it.
#aroace#aroace vent#aroace-spec#aroacevent#aromantic#asexual#acespec#aroace spec#arospec#amatonormativity#i have never understood this#and i don't think i ever will understand it#why do people rarely ever treat their friends to the same level as their partners

People shipping aroace characters because “uuu there’s no angst if no ship uuu” well fuck that because remember the “what the fuck is wrong with me” angst. Remember the “oh fuck this person likes me but I don’t like them back” angst. The “should I pretend to date this person so as not to hurt their feelings” angst. The

Reblog to be like Carl
Edit: I’m aware Carl doesn’t have all the flags. Carl loves all of you despite this.

"aphobia doesn't exist"
bitch literally not that long ago an aroace youtuber animator was insulted by almost half of its community for being it
#i did some research about it and found out that the problem was principally that she had previous experience in the romantic area#so people just didn't take her seriously and said she was lying#even though she stated multiple times that she wasn't comfortable in those situations#now things are more calmed but damn#mind your own bussiness#i believe she knows more about herself than you#sorry if i offended you with this comment but i hate how aro/ace/aroace people are always left behind#insulted and rejected because they “dont know what they are talking about”#or because they “just have to wait for the right person”#or because they are “psychopaths and they are missing something”#i love that animator and she helped me realise a lot about myself#and now that i know the context i think i will start making a list and killing aphobes one by one#aromantic#arospec#asexual#aroace#acespec

shoutout to nine-year-old me who was very much aroace but didnt know the difference between hyperfixating on a character and having a crush on them so for the next few years i told everyone that the only crush i ever had was on lord voldemort
#specifically tom riddle but yeah#god what was i thinking#in hindsight it was very funny#nine year old me was incredibly weird#and yeah i used that as an excuse whenever people started to get suspicious about my love life#aroace#asexual#aromantic#asexual aromantic#aromantic asexual#ace#aro#arospec#acespec#aspec#lgbtq

On this fine day, at 8:37 AM, I walked outside to the front of my school and saw that they replaced the Canadian flag, the flag of our country, with a Pride flag. I have never felt happier. I have never laughed so hard in my life. This is in not a complaint, I just think it's very funny that they replaced the Canadian flag with a Pride flag for no apparent reason. They have their priorities figured out.

Made an asexual dragon to go with the aromantic one I made a while back. I really like how it turned out.
I made this one also a wyvern to match the demisexual wyvern except this one uses it's wings as limbs as well. Kinda like a bird vs. a bat in terms of wing mobility. I also included little ace of spades motifs for symbolism.
Asexual people are a valid part of the LGBTQIA+ community and no one can tell me otherwise 🖤🤍💜

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
