#ace and aro culture........

[astriiformes]

The ace and aro club at school did a Hobbit movie night tonight, and I continue to enjoy just how many aspec people are huge Tolkien fans.

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

Being aroace as a teenager feels like being the only sober person at a rave.

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

I can’t stand forced romance in media. You’re telling me this man and woman who’ve barely spoken to each other, have not flirted at all and have barely been together for three scenes are in love??? Like am I just too aroace to see it?? I always feel so surprised

Aro/ace culture is not noticing the blatantly obvious signs that you are aro/ace all your life and later realising half the shit you thought was your personality is said blatantly obvious signs.

See the funny thing is im aroace but i also have the memory of a goldfish. So ill just. Forget that people actually do things for love and sex (mostly sex)?? Like youre telling me people give chocolate to one another and its not just seen as being nice? Every time someones like "oh yeah i did that because i had a crush on them" i have two straight minutes of "HUH???" before i remember thats an actual motivation for people, and that romantic gestures do, in fact, exist

"This fandom is so queer friendly!" This fandom literally hates, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, and aspec people but ok.

Please help me with my very important research

I'm being a little silly here, but what I'm interested in is how common it is for asexuals to project their sexual feeling onto monsters, not whether or not you identify with the term "Monster fucker." So, "Teratophiles" please respond accordingly.

And for the purpose of this poll, "Monster" is basically any fictional or mythological non-human entity, including vampires, robots, and writing masses of tentacles with no discernable origin.

Sex-repulsed asexuals and romance-repulsed aromantics deserve £100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for everything

Memes based on my own awkward Arospec life, who doesn't love that?

And I promise more of my fantastic wit will be coming to your screens very soon!

The Jedi are an aro/ace culture that live happy and fulfilling lives and people hate them for it

People steeped in amatanormativity can't stand the idea that people don't want/need romance and can not only be content without it, but in fact very happy without romance

And thus they hate the Jedi, because an entire culture (even a fictional one) that is aro/ace-normative is an affront to them

[slothyykittee]

I hate when this happens I hate when this happens

Also posted on twitter!

Apparently the Venn diagram between tumblr users and aro/ace people is a fucking circle

[aroacearchangel]

hey who wants to hold hands and play with my hair and be so gentle with me i might shatter into a million pieces

[aro-culture-is]

Non-ace aro culture is being tired of the response "Hey, I'm aroace too!"/"Hey, fellow aroace!"
