Amatonormativity is OUT queerplatonic relationships are IN

[mr-weirdo-mcgee]

An asexual/aroace vampire that's used to the victims thinking they're incredibly lustful and find another victim who is "probably into them"

The Aroace victim who just really loves vampires.

Soulmates are inherently amatonormative and it's so wild how many people refuse to acknowledge that and instead go around trying to "make it more inclusive" which mostly just leads to then forcing aspec characters into a amatonormative narrative.

Romance vs Platonic

I understand Tori in the way she sees romantic relationships. How everyone craves it, desires it, they throw themselves head first into it and when it backfires they don't care they still stay in those relationships even if it hurts friends doing so is frustrating and stupid and you can hardly understand why people would do that just to have a partner when they already have friends. I understand the confusion when it comes to wanting to be held to want to hold someone's hand but also feel confusion when people talk about their dates and it just sounds like they and their partner went and hung out like friends do. There's this thing about romantic relationships that are so confusing because they are so CLOSE to platonic friendship relationships the differences? you kiss? you have sex? No, because asexuals exist and some don't want sex but are still in romantic relationships. SO WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE SO HELLBENT ON A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR LIVES?! For your brother to ask if you and your guy friend are together all because you hang out and he makes you happy? Isn't that something friends do? How do you know what makes a romantic relationship? How can you know when you're in one. Whats the difference?

[redysetdare]

enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

[contagious-watermelon]

i think part of the reason that aromantic awareness is lagging so far behind that of asexuality is that romance is viewed as straight-up ubiquitous, whereas sexuality is thought of as a choice people make. (e.g. purity culture & making the choice Not to have sex; dating as a given while hooking up is notable)

hence, asexuality may be misconstrued as synonymous with celibacy, but aromanticism isn't (can't be) construed as anything because nobody can conceptualize its existence at all. a fish doesnt even know it's wet...

lemme try this again

Hey Tumblr! I'm writing a book. It's 102k words (and counting) of pure queer fantasy and a year's worth of emotions.

It's about a queer kid finding community and support, and then stepping up to defend the people they love. And it's about falling in love and finding yourself, and it's about trust, and connection, and responsibility, and trying to do good in the world. It is also about gay.

Blurb thing:

Destiny has always been alone, self-isolating so that no one will find out about her magic, the same power that she watched a little girl dragged away for nine years ago. Then she meets Vida, a beautiful fae whose kiss sparks something inside her, and Destiny chooses to follow her.

She's not expecting Vida's family to be a werewolf pack. Or that they'll be so welcoming— she was told werewolves are monsters, after all. She's definitely not expecting them to become her own family.

But when Destiny begins to change, it's the wolves who accept him for who he is. And it's the wolves who are the first to see Destiny's magic and swear to protect them, no matter what. And it's up to Destiny to decide what that looks like.

Even if it means changing the world.

(yes the pronoun shifts in the almost-last paragraph were intentional)

And now a quote:

“Don’t you ever want to do something you’re not supposed to? Love the wrong way, be the wrong person, want the wrong things?”

If this sounds like your cup of tea, rb and let me know! I'm not sure when I'll start posting it, there's still a few edits I need to get done, but encouragement will definitely make that happen sooner~
