biting. biting. biting.

#having thoughts and feelings about ‘relationships’ and companionship and partnership and whatnot.#aro thoughts.#<if that shows up in a tag and people see it ill kill someone #i just. im grateful to have escaped the confines of amatonormativity to the degree that i already have #but im exhausted by how much of a fucking Process it is #i have dear friends that i can have and will again fight terrible circumstances to be with.#i have two lovely roommates who consider me a life partner at this moment in time #when my friends say they might movei start planning how to visit them.#my friends mean so much to me!!! and i am so grateful for them!!!#and i am so MAD that its taken me so long to know that thats. fine. and allowed #i love every single one of my friends like the sun is going to burst out of my chest.#and i am also constantly trying to hide that #why!!!! from who!!!! my friends?????#they deserve to know!!!!#but somewhere along the line it got twisted into my brain that the way i love is shameful #maybe its the rest of the shame complex but whatever #and i. have fallen into structure traps before #because i dont know what the structure for a relationship like this looks like!!#i dont know how to express ‘i love you and i want to build a life with you and also crawl into your skin’ in like. a platonic way #and sometimes i express that and end up in a romantic relationship which fails . because it is a structure that does not fit the shape of #my love #i also! get scared!! when expressing how big my love is!!! i worry that someone will try and fit me into that structure again!!#i dont fucking WANT that structure! im sick of it i fucking despise it! it doesnt fit and i hate it #but when i say ‘i love everyone ive ever met like they are the morning sun’ i worry my friends hear it and think it is too intense a love #for the structure they have set up for ne #anyways. a lot of this is really difficult to put into words #because its FEELINGS #op

People really need to stop talking about aromantic people in such a way to suggest we need to, like, make up for our lack of romantic attraction? This ties into the whole "aromantic people can still date" and "aromantic people can have qprs" and "aromantic people still feel strong platonic love" pattern I keep seeing where it's as if people are trying to say "don't worry, they can still be mostly normal" and it is so frustrating to me as a non-partnering aromantic person and is likely even worse for aplatonic and loveless aros.

#seraph's ravings #aromantic #aroallo #that isn't to say dating or being in qprs or having really strong platonic feelings is bad #or makes you 'less aro'#this is more about people having like. a very weird obesseion with these concepts #when talking about aromantic people #like they cannot stand the thought that some people just. aren't interested in any of that

wait so…. is the stereotype that aro/ace spec people love garlic bread because of garlic breath??

hear me out.

because garlic breath is not nice for other people in close range and to many (many being only a-specs whom of which are repulsed by it) think kissing is yucky and… and garlic breath would stop people from kissing you

guys hold on now hold on i think i have something brewing

sure "romantic" isn't the only type of love but also "love" isn't the only type of positive feeling. So maybe stop insisting everyone needs love to be happy and accept that loveless ppl exist? Pretty please?

#man february arrived and im on a roll with these posts #thought to myself 'tumblr could use more loveless-posting'#decided if no one's gonna do it im just gonna do it myself #also this isn't directed at anyone specific im just being salty at random #loveless #loveless aromantic #loveless aro #aromantic #aro #arospec #loveless apl #loveless aplatonic #aplatonic #aplspec #lgbtq #queer stuff

“We need more aro people” not only can you not handle a cishet aromantic man, but neither can you even handle any kind of masc aligned aromantic person who is attracted to women or fem aligned people. Can we be serious please.

labels are optional btw. i've seen some people complain about microlabels and how they are confusing, unnecessary, but the thing is. those labels are OPTIONAL. the people who use microlabels are using them because they feel that's what works best for them. you don't have to use any label you don't want, even if it's description technically matches you. that's why things like ace and aro are spectrums. you could use a microlabel, or if you feel it works better to just call yourself ace/aro, or simply aspec, there's options. and you don't even have to use any of them if you don't want. you can go unlabeled. it's all up to you what you want to use for yourself. nobody is forcing you to use a label you don't want. that's literally the opposite of what we want htgfsdsf

my point is, if microlabels don't work for you, then just don't use them. don't start trying to invalidate others who do use them. microlabels exist so you have more options.

#lgbtq #queer #aspec #aro #ace #aroace #just putting that thought out there #i love microlabels so much but i can 100% understand why someone wouldn't want to use them as well #but just becuase they dont work for you doesnt NOT mean they are bad at all #i hope this was worded right lol #nothing specific really caused me to post this i just like thinking about this stuff haha

Arophobes are so fucking stupid

"You just haven't found the right person!" "You're still young!"

Ok. I perhaps have found 'the right person'. now what?

I'm still under the Aromanticism Label. That didn't just change now that i have a 'right person'.

Maybe I needed an emotional bond first. Maybe I just don't like romance. Maybe I only like romance a limited amount.

Just because we don't fit into your conception of love on first sight doesn't mean we don't exist.

Happy Aromantism.

Translation: Junior, I have told you several times that Lily prefers to be single, remember?

Lily is the new aroace icon. That's all.

#Lily #duolingo #aromantic #asexual #aroace #yeah I know she had a crush on a drummer once #but that was just a one time thing #she can still be h/c'd as someone on the aroace spectrum #she has literally never been interested in anyone in that way other than that occasion #spanish duolingo #pride month #aroace pride #first post to reach 1k jeez #it always is a shitpost isn't it #personal headcanon #<- I thought it was clear enough before #apparently not looking at some reblogs #guys this is a headcanon post that I made #nowhere did I say that it was official #the only officially queer characters on Duolingo are Lin Bea and Oscar #Lin is lesbian Bea is bi and idk about Oscar #He never goes out on dates. just likes to paint and platonically hang out with Lucy in his free time #He's also most like aroace. Again: MOST LIKELY aro/ace.#like I know he's one of the “canonically” (officially from the website) queer characters. But Idk what his sexuality actually is.#this is a SHITPOST

can people start obsessing over queerplatontic ships the same way they obsess over romantic ships

#queerplatonic #aro #< not technically related but qpr and aros are after put together #Just thought that was an important notice since qpr can be done by anybody of any sexuality #And also should be normalised more for other sexualities #lgbtq #qpr positivity #qpr #Now here comes the part where I just start putting characters who are totally in queer platonic relationships #Thalia and luke #Masika and Jack #Xanu and gothi #Silena and Clarisse #Lilith and darius

Does anyone else feel lonesome?

Not lonely. Not alone. Just... lonesome. Like you don't feel connected to anyone. Like you never feel that you will find anyone that understands you, that will see you truly, let alone someone who will even like you. You see friends everywhere, but you don't see yourself in their place, like that is not for you, like you're not made for that and that's not made for you. You see people having fun and laughing and dancing and getting drunk and falling in love and you just... don't feel that for yourself. Like you're not supposed to have that, like you can't because it's not for you and you're not for it.

Like you're supposed to be seeing all these beautiful things in the world but not experience them yourself. Like you want to experience so much, experience everything, but be overwhelmed by it so you don't do any of it.

Like you want to be everywhere and do everything, but you don't belong anywhere and can't do anything. Like you're not supposed to be here. Not in a self-deprecating way but in an incongruous way. You want to live you want to be alive, but you feel you're not supposed to be. Not here at least, not like this. Just a presence in the world, not an active member of it. Even your body doesn't feel like home, your face isn't a face you recognise, like you're not supposed to have either. Like you're just supposed to be.

Like you're supposed to observe, but not experience.
