Pride month y’all know what that means

Time to bring back this beauty

I will always advocate for every queer person's right to be a fully autonomous sexual being-and that always must and always will include asexuals. Recognizing the significance of queer sex should not mean that every queer person should be mandated to meet an arbitrary sexual prerequisite in order for their queerness to be affirmed. Centering queerness around sex leaves very little room for queer folks for whom sex is insignificant, or for whom sex is never or rarely possible, or for queer folks who have never had sex before, or for queer folks whose only sexual experiences have been violent. It also leaves a lot of queer people, especially young ones, feeling pressured to have a certain amount or certain type of sex in order to legitimate or prove their queerness to themselves or to someone else.

Hi!

🌟 Warnings of Acephoba 🌟

I was scrolling on tik tok yesterday and there was a post about someone's favourite celebrity's that are in the LGBTQ+ I scroll through them watching and saw an ace person which I thought was cool, so I went on the comments..

First thing I saw was "Asexuals aren't apart of the LGBT" then there was more going to "being asexual is a myth" etc etc just more acephobic comments across this tik tok.

I've always felt Tik tok is hateful towards aces, every post mentioning ace is just hateful. As you can see from my previous posts where I showcased a bunch of comments from Tik Toks being acephobic.

When I was first finding out asexual, I was searching the whole meaning of the LGBTQ+ like what the letters stand for. It came to A and it went "a is for allies" this was some years ago about 8-10 years ago but at the time I remember just saying something like no silly it's asexual and aromatic.

But I don't know just the lack of understanding we get from people is frustrating. Sorry just needed to rant this out my head.

Hope you're all having a good week, sorry for the lack of posts I've tried to distant myself from the Internet

"you're aroace? how do you survive?" well I'll tell you how I survive susan I adore my friends with every fibre of my being. I would take a bullet for them I wouldn't even think twice. you can take your traditional marriage values and stuff them where the sun doesn't shine because me and my favourite human in this hell-forsaken universe have been talking for seven hours and we're seeing how many grapes we can fit in our mouths and that's better than romance actually. do you even know how much I love them

Daily reminder to everyone on the ace spectrum that you are loved and valid, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise <3

This is blog is a safe space for everyone on the ace spectrum 🤍

this what a relationship is?

I need an aroace time traveler/immortal pairing. They’re just hangin out across thousands of years. Logging the most fun places in every era. The time traveler keeps a book of everything they’ve done, so when they go back to an older time they can share all the adventures they’ve had. They probably do a few revolutions. For fun. :)

I really really hope they find some way to make Alastor's aromanticism and asexuality explicit.

I see that they're trying to do that what with Alastor rejecting Angel's advances but it's not really enough (and tbh I don't even know what would constitute as "enough" while still making narrative sense in the story). Hell I've even seen a couple of reaction videos that've taken Alastor's "never going to happen" in response to Angel wanting to make a porn with him as "oh yeah it's definitely going to happen" bc you know that's the trope.

And then there's the thing with Mimzy where even though the show explicitly said they were just friends some reactors still assumed that they must "secretly be together or in love with each other" or some shit like that.

But I'm not really blaming the show for any of this because people will be people and will continue to have their assumptions based on mainstream media and society's values and again it's really hard to portray asexuality/aromanticism without having a full on coming out scene that would probably end up being cheesy in this kind of setting.

The most I can see the show doing is having Alastor just straight up say that he isn't interested in anything romantic or sexual (w/o using the terms asexual or aromantic of course which tbh would actually make more sense since Alastor is from the 30s and refuses to engage in/learn anything modern). But tbh that would probably lead to most viewers (especially the cis straight ones) just thinking that Alastor not being interested in romance/sex has something to do with his past or the fact that he's a serial killer and very likely has mental problems.

[unpopular-opinions-but-im-right]

Yes I am an asexual who is currently very sex repulsed, but I also mean it when I say having time and privacy to masturbate should be a human right I am not joking

[octever]

HOLY FUCK HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS

Just because a character you see with aromantic traits doesn't make them aroace. It's fine to have your head cannons, but when ALL that is stated is a distaste for romance, I find it troubling to call them ace. PLEASE let me have this character as just aro.

Not necessarily aroallo, but just the aromantic label. Really made that because someone has aro qualities that it means they are aroace.

AGAIN

Aromantic experience -> aroace experience -/> Asexual experience

Asexual experience -> aroace experience -/> Aromantic experience

BUT if the aroace experience fits both then obviously

Aromantic experience <- aroace experience ->Asexual experience

"Penny is My Best Friend"

I've been wanting to make some comics about Ryn and Penny + Hero for a while so here's a little break in between main comic stuff :p

I've been on Tumblr for a few years now, but I've never posted. I'm a closeted asexual and I kind of want to post about my asexuality and all of my experiences. I'm basically using Tumblr as a diary lol. I'm hoping that either other aces will relate to the stuff I post. And I would definitely love some advice cause being in the closet sucks.

Valentine's Day really got me thinking about my Aromantic homies.

[xenogendermaker]

Not a xenogender, but an aromantic identity where you feel as if whatever arospec identity you identify with is connected to your autism! It's exclusive to autistic people (duh)

It's just called Autiromantic.

Autisexual, an aspec identity where it feels connected to your autism!

Here's an Autiaroace :3 combination of autiromantic and autisexual

[sharkyy599]

I dunno if I ever mentioned that Dragon Boy is asexual-

[norbezjones]

Decided to make my friend @just-a-carrot my first Artfight attack this year! :3 I knew I was gonna do that the SECOND they posted a link to their artfight and said they were joining! So when Artfight started, I got right to work!

I decided to draw our two asexual characters together--their Iggy from Our Wonderland, and my Glarence from Romance The Backrooms. Features a rare smile from Glarence, because he found someone like him and he's happy! C:
