#aroallo gen

[thearoaceshark]

And since I can't stop talking about aroace characters, here is a list of characters that I headcanon as part of the aroace spectrum, and some canon! In no specific order, and I'm not going to give reasons, I just know that they are aroace (some have strong aroace coding, others just give me aroace vibes). They are all on the aromantic spectrum, I won't include the ones that are (or I think they are) just asexual, for the aro week.

1. The demon of the moment:

Alastor the Radio Demon, from Hazbin Hotel.

2. The guy who literally changed the weather to make a girl lose interest in him:

Saiki Kusuo, from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

3. The most talented and pizza lover ninja turtle:

Michelangelo Hamato/Splinterson, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (almost every version).

4. The dragonlord, an ace in magic:

Merlin, from BBC Merlin.

5. The girlboss of the Scientific Kingdom:

Kohaku, from Dr Stone.

6. Mr. I-have-all-the-bitches-behind-me-but-I-don't-want-any-of-them:

Senku Ishigami, from Dr Stone.

7. The guy literally left a harem for a coke:

Gen Asagiri, from Dr Stone.

8. Romance pursues her, but she is faster:

Anzu Hoshino, from Romantic Killer.

There are 13 characters but I only can publish 10 pictures, so go to see the rest in Part 2!

(Gen's hc as aroallo was courtesy of Anon, AND I LOVED IT! So I'm here to make Aroallo Gen more popular. I hope Anon sees this, thanks for the idea!)

Being a (romance-neutral/repulsed) aromantic is looking back at the shows/movies/books/etc. you've gotten the most into over the years and realizing that nearly all of them have the common thread of centering some kind of found family where romantic relationships are not treated as more important than every other kind of relationship.

shocking news, The aroallo guy is here to talk abt being aroallo. everybody gasp

anyways. i wanted to explain why aroallos are so "sensitive" about our identity and place in the aspec community.

the aspec community has a sex negativity problem. this is obvious. the amount of "sex bad" takes that are boldly labelled "aspec experiences" instead of what they actually are (puritan culture) is enough to make anyone who actually experiences sexual attraction feel more than unwelcome in the aspec community.

aside from that, there's also the erasure. aromanticism is always treated as a subcategory of asexuality. there's this constant underline to every mainstream-ish discussion of aromanticism that basically comes down to the inherently aroallophobic idea that "not all aces are aro, but all aros are ace". it's not that anyone says this out loud; it's that everyone seems to imply it subtly, everyone seems to believe it without even thinking twice about it.

aside from that, there's the lack of representation. name an aromantic character. chances are, you've just named an aroace character. and even in the very very rare case of a character being canonically aromantic but not canonically asexual (e.g. carpenter from the silt verses), the fandom still treats them being asexual as canon. fandom treats aromanticism as something that must only exist within asexuality, not as its own separate identity.

our fellow aspecs spew aroallophobia at us in a misguided attempt at humor (i've gotten several asks from aroaces telling me i "should" be aroace), our posts are mistagged as asexual when we make it extremely clear they're just about being aromantic (and when we point out that we don't like that, we get called control freaks. true story), the aromantic tag is filled with posts just about asexuality, allos either call us emotional abusers and imply we objectify people by simply experiencing sexual attraction, or imply that we're just afraid of attachment and that they can "fix" us.

the absolutely jarring truth of being an aroallo on tumblr dot com is making a post about being aroallo and immediately getting ten anons telling me i'm "no better than a straight man", "an aroace in denial", "an emotionally abusive predator", or just a slut, while at the same time someone comments on my post "you're making up an issue that doesn't exist" "why are you so mad about this" "you wanna be a victim so bad"

whew. okii that's all. hope that clears stuff up for non-aroallos out there /gen

what they said

[daybringersol]

just to be clear, i dont hate being called aroace or treated like im aroace because being aroace is bad. i hate it cuz its constantly forced upon me by people in and out of the community. i feel like thats fair.

its like when people say it’s misogynistic to react badly at being called a girl/woman when you’re transmasc. no. im just straight up not a woman. stop calling me that.

sorry i just saw a post that had good points but someone said something along the lines of “some aroallos and alloaces really act like its an horrible thing to be aroace” and like no. its an horrible thing to be called and expected to be aroace over and over again when youre not. and at some point, some people will stop correcting you nicely and will start being less polite cuz its fucking annoying.

im just tired of being expected to put up with shit constantly from people who should be on our side and then be treated as the problem when i stand up for myself.

anyways, love you aroaces that dont do that /gen

[bizarreaizen]

i have so much respect for aroallos, no you're not a whore, slut, hoe or any words like that (in a bad way), you're valid just like all of us, you're appreciated and accepted, i love you guys <2 /gen

[fraudulent-cheese]

idk if you know this but aroace is not the same as aroallo 😭 sorry i just. wanna clarify for future interactions,, cuz you seem to get confused a lot

aroace = yes aromantic, yes asexual

aroallo = yes aromantic, NOT asexual

Asexual and Aromantic = NO (or little) attraction

ALLOsexual and ALLOromantic = NORMAL attraction

i know it seems like an unnecessary specification but there are real people out there who unironically think that all aromantics are inherently asexual???

also some think that aroallos are weird or whorish or gross or immoral,, which is icky of them to think ofc,,

so that's why aroallo is a label;;

Ahhhh alr—

Also, I do know, don't worry lol. Sorry if I phrased things weird, but I do know that aroace and aroallo are different—/gen/lh

[officeobject]

Just because I have the mental age of a teenaged Pinkie Cooper character and hormones enough for a family of 5, doesn't mean it's too early to know if I'm aroace - aroallo minors exist, people just in general tend to get feelings or realize things, and that reminds me of some other weird ageism thing:

Lots of 30 year olds will meet me online, and they're nice and all, but clearly nervous around me and don't know how to deal with me - and like, I KNOW "kids" are hard to deal with (my blog is ageless but I'm gen z and every 30 year old within 10 miles of my account will assume I'm a minor, act like I'm a minor, or both), and not everyone has some local kid, but JESUS CHRIST, just think back to when YOU were a kid - how NOT-selfaware were the rest of you?!

But anyways, I'll get advice, and they'll also be like "you'll understand when you get older", and "you're like a baby deer stumbling its way through life", and "you're in the age of figuring yourself out", and that may be true for lots of people my age, but, like, dude, I'm a human being having an ageless blog, why are your two moods to either be nervous or to treat me like that? Also, if I'm such a WIP as a person, how come my 30 year old mutual staring friend doesn't treat me weirdly? How come they don't act like I MUST learn stuff about THEIR generation? How come they let me have whatever "generic gen z traits" I have, and seems to treat me like I have an established identity, know what I like, know who I am, know my own wants and needs and how to achieve them, etc? Yes I'm young, but they don't ever treat me like I have a whole world to discover. They don't even seem nervous or uptight or anything about our age-gap - seriously, unlike what ageism would tell 'em, they don't treat me like I'm just "that weird kid", or "a youngster trying to find their way in this world", and perhaps I'm not.

OK GEN TIME GEN TIME I love this guy sm

So, in his own words, he’s “the most shallow man on earth”. When we first meet him, he claims he could be living the high life with a harem in the kingdom of might.

YEAH RIGHT. Like Senku, we don’t see Gen finding women (or men) attractive, though there’s a moment or two that implies he wouldn’t mind the attention. And I think that’s it. Attention. He enjoys it, and he sometimes talks about or tries seeking it out, but it doesn’t seem to be related to romance, nor does he seem to value it in that way.

Into head canon/analysis territory! As professional mentalist and self-claimed shallowest man, I feel like he wouldn’t believe in romance. Emotions are easy to manipulate, and tend to be irrational. I also don’t think he likes the vulnerability. It’s one of the reasons why he doesn’t like alcohol (canon).

Something else interesting about Gen is that he always attributes other reasons/motives for being loyal to the kingdom of science. He prefer to downplay emotions as a factor, but his relationships within the series are real. I think he has great fondness for everyone, but wouldn’t call it love. Something to think about maybe.

In the end, he’s the guy who joined the kingdom of science for a single bottle of cola. How can you be more aro than giving up a harem for food?? Very real of him!

I didn’t mention everything but I’m sure there’s more! This is just coming from one silly little aroace dr stone obsessed guy

Thank you for letting me share! :D

Thanks to you for sharing this, it's a very interesting and fun headcanon. I don't know how well-known the hc of Gen being Aroallo is, but it's very good and suits the character.

Also food>>>>>>>>>>

[aspecmemesdaily]

why don't you post any aroallo content? /Gen

Hi, thanks for asking.

This blog is still fairly new and in development. All posts under the tag #arospec are only about aromanticism, with no mention of any sexual attraction or preferences, so they can be relatable for anyone on the aromantic spectrum, which includes aroallo people (consider the tag free of acespec stuff all together—that's what the tag #aroace is for, for example). I just haven't come across a meme yet that's about aromanticism and explicitly mentions feelings of sexual attraction. As soon as I find one, I will add the tag #aroallo to the list of sub-tags under #arospec!

But if you're looking for any arospec memes, regardless of whether they're about aromanticism in direct relation to the experience of sexual attraction, you will definitely find them under #arospec, which functions as a sort-of "umbrella tag" for anyone and all experiences on the aromantic spectrum.

12 and 20 for the aromantic ask game?

12: Oh that's easy. None of the above. My favorite relationships to explore are the liminal. The ones that don't easily fit into categories or blur them. Acquaintances? I love acquaintances. Characters who know each other or keep running into each other but aren't quite friends. Situationships? Hell yeah. Any kind of thing where there's sex and there's like, some underlying relationship but it's hard to quantify what. Or even like, I suppose that's why I enjoy incest as a topic. It's completely screwing up the lines between sexual, romantic, and familial.

Any kind of toxic relationship in general. Like, sex as horror and romance as horror are really fun. Because that's what romance is to me. If I personally am in a romance, by definition it is horror. There is no scenario where I'd be in a romantic relationship and want to be there. I'd be trapped. So I really enjoy that. And sex can often end up in similar territory because dysphoria.

Family is pretty good too. Solid fan of family. Generally not if it's sappy just because I don't do sappy in general, and I do not fw found family, but actually family I love. So complicated and interesting and the kind of relationship I by far have the most actual feelings for.

So basically, anything that isn't platonic or straight-up romance is the answer. But especially if it's boundary crossing, hard to label, or toxic.

Oh everyone is going to hate me for my answer to 20. Fine. Okay. This is a bad answer. I know this is an answer no one will like. I know this is not the answer anyone else would give. But.

... I have to say that it continuously amazes me how aro-friendly Supernatural fandom is. I can shout from the rooftops that Dean Winchester is aromantic and everyone agrees with me.

Here's the thing. Fandoms and media that tend to have a reputation as being awesome for aros tend to be pretty aroace centric and have a very heavy focus on platonic stuff. When people say a fandom is great for aros, what they usually mean is not a lot of shipping and a lot of platonic content. And meanwhile, I'm aplatonic. And while I do friends in real life, I just cannot get into any media with friendship in it. Basically everything I've ever been obsessed with has been about characters who just happen to have no friends. Meanwhile, every time I'm like "wow that thing was really good. How come after I finished it I never thought about it ever again?" the answer is that people had friends (See: Suffs, Percy Jackson, Scott Pilgrim). So needless to say, the fandoms that most people would say "oh you have to get into it if you're aro" are ones I'd hate.

Supernatural? Sam and Dean Winchester have no friends. The main relationships are familial. So I can write oodles and oodles of gen fic and people actually read it and like it. And when things do get aro, it's because Dean Winchester is very aroallo. And like. Me too! So it's the rare place where allosexual aromanticism actually exists, as opposed to the rest of the world where when I talk about it, I'm always the only aroallo person in the room and the only person writing aroallo fics. Dean is kind of the king of hookups, so if you like non-romantic sex (and I do), great fandom for you.

But yeah, it's honestly continually strange to me how much I can never shut up about aromanticism there. I'll talk about how aro dean is and get like. Reblogs. Every single time my aromanticism comes up in something unrelated, no one minds. Whereas in other spaces I definitely can feel like the odd one out.

Oh, and I've found quite a few other aros there, so that's good, too. Including other aroallos!

Of course, full disclosure that Supernatural fandom is deeply segmented and is essentially two fandoms: the people who are cool with incest and the people who aren't. I cannot speak to how the non-incest people about aro dean. But on the incest side, even a lot of the people who are hardcore Sam/Dean shippers don't actually see it as strictly romantic, even if they 100% believe there's sex there.

Coming out to my parents as aroallo and explaining qprs to them was weirdly easy just because they're X-Files fans

They were just like,

"Like Scully and Mulder?"

And yes, like Scully and Mulder.

That seems to be the best way to describe qprs to gen Xers

[the-crystal-femmes]

my good mutual you are chill. be gay about your partner all you want, no one's judging, and if they are they deserved to be judged back lol - ..Lovely? bit mixed up due to the lack of sleep

Thank you /gen, I hope you don't mind this vent-adjacent blurb ^^”

I think it's more like.. I have this weird fear that people will invalidate my relationship with her because I'm aroallo and quoiattraction. I don't know how exactly I'm attracted to pearl, but it's constant on the internet for others to see non-romantic relationships as inherently inferior. I think this is also possibly why I'm non-sharing selfship wise unless it comes to mutuals. I don't trust people to view my relationship as equal, and it upsets me :( /lh, rambling
