i think the people of tumblr dot com would enjoy my bracelets

(i swear the fourth bracelet is the agender flag, the green is just really light because i didnt have a good green to match)

[morally-earl-gray]

after seeing how many notes this got, ive decided to do a poll

mine are hazel/green :)

its all "blue-eyed boy meets brown-eyed girl" and never "green-eyed aroace person stays single forever"

Being hypersexual and aroace is the weirdest thing ever.

I remember the days of ace/aro exclusionist discourse very well.

The main fuel seemed to be screenshots of kids on Tumblr saying ignorant things about Lgbtq people and history.

Like, they're kids. Of course they don't know any LGBTQ history. They were born 5 minutes ago. We get it, you hate kids.

These two images angered exclus the most. They would say "these don't mean you're lgbt, because it says straight too!".

I'm sorry, did you forget straight trans people are part of the community? Hell, transhets did a ton of ground work for the community to even be a thing and got little to no credit in return.

Also, I imagine (grain of salt) that it was to encourage possible cishetallo allies to consider that we're all people and we should come together.

Lmao I forgot to add this: aro, aces, nonbinary people, etc. have always been present in the community one way or another. So much Lgbtq history is lost, do you seriously think there wasn't a single aro/ace person that was marching with the other queer elders?

Anyway, I just wanted to waffle about exclus.

It's so funny being a shipper when you're aroace it's like you're an anthropologist, like hey fictional blorbos who live in my head let me study your bonds under a microscope and take notes on what happens when I throw Valentines Day into your enclosure

‘There’s no platonic explanation for this’ and it’s just two people caring about each other’s wellbeing

[bored-boring-and-tired]

the holy trinity is trending

[pinnakoladda]

hey as a local aroace, i want to specify something.

were no strangers to love. you know the rules and so do i (do i). a full commitments what im thinking of. you wouldnt get this from any other guy. i just wanna tell you how im feeling. gotta make you understand. never gonna give you up. never gonna let you down. never gonna run around and desert you. never gonna make you cry. never gonna say goodbye. never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[tremendously-crazy]

"it's ok for labels to change as you learn more about yourself" and "i hope with every fiber of my being that I'm right about being aroace and nobody will come along to change my mind because I hate the idea of being in a romantic relationship or conforming to gender roles or heteronormativity" are two sentences that can and should coexist.

[aroace-ed]

every so often, i think, and it might be so selfish of me, but i crave to be someone's first choice. i want to be the person that someone sees fun things to do and their first thought is to ask me to go with them. i want someone to be willing to inconvenience themselves a little bit sometimes for me as i would do for them. i want to be looked at in a list of people and to have someone pick me out of all of them. i want to be held at the same level as a romantic partner in terms of effort and closeness. i want someone to want me as much as i want them, even though it's not in a romantic sense. i want to be important to someone.
