been going a little bit insane about this sentence from Ace by Angela Chen for the past week

[confused-canid]

Btw, being aro, ace, aroace, or another identity that falls under the a umbrella is one of the most queerest experiences I've ever heard of. Like, society has ingrained into pretty much everyone that you need to be in a romantic relationship and have sex? And you go AGAINST that??? That's fucking AWESOME!

Loveless aros, you have everyone, even the aro, ace, and aroaces communities talking about how "B-but, aros can still love!! We love our friends!! Not like those monsters who don't!!" and you're still you, and continue to be awesome??? Amazing!!

Moral of the story: aros, aces, aplatonics, afaimials, and others that fall under the a umbrella are queer as hell and are awesome and fuck aphobes

i love you non sexual physical intimacy i love you touching someone because you want to feel the warmth of their body and the texture of their skin i love you tracing body lines soft and sharp i love you shoulder to shoulder hand on your knee reassuringly i love you hands under their shirt on a cold day i love you head leaning against someone’s chest i love you nude cuddling i love you tracing sharp back muscles i love you tracing fat rolls i love you touching someone’s whole body to commit the little details to memory in case you were to ever loose them i love you touch as a love language

i thought free trial agender was a pretty funny joke so i made these for the aroace community

note: these are joke terms but you can take them seriously, you do you

Free Trial Aromantic

For aromantic people who are aromantic because their free trial to romance has ended

Free Trial Asexual

For asexual people who are asexual because their free trial to sex has ended

Free Trial Aroace

For aroace people who are aroace because their free trial to romance and sex has ended

[guitarhero-3]

My favorite argument against literally anything like "it's not natural" or something along those lines is simply I Don't Care

[pokimoko]

if you’re still doing pride flag animals, could you maybe do an aroace narwhal?

Absolutely! Have a narwhal!

[i-am-a-megalodon]

since tomorrow is international asexuality day

shoutout to sex-favorable aces, sex-neutral aces, and sex-repulsed aces. shoutout to demis, grays, cupios, frays, and everyone else in that gray area of the asexual spectrum. shoutout to aces who are still in the closet, aces who are feeling impostor syndrome about their identity, and aces who are out and proud. shoutout to aromantic aces and romantic aces; homo and hetero and bi and pan aces and more. cis aces, trans aces, nonbinary aces...

all flavors of aces have my respect. you all are valid and you all deserve respect.

everyone in barbieland is asexual and aromantic btw. they’re all the bestest friends and in love with each other but never romantically. just so you know.

[just-a-living-meat-thing]

being aromantic is fun but sometimes. I see people in love and laughing and finding that one person that makes everything seem okay. And I yearn a little

rooting through the barty/evan tag on ao3 in search of a main ship rosekiller fic that isn’t porn is like going on a quest in a fantasy book

I know well it won't ever happen, but it'd be great if on FIRST (official) Hazbin (as a show, not a pilot) pride, Al's finally confirmed to be AROACE.

The rejection of Al's orientation in this fandom is crazy and I'm not speaking of fanon, but CANON.

I'm SO tired of people saying "but he was just confirmed to be asexual!", "but the moment with rosie!", "what amir said was incorrect and he apologized for it!", "what faustisse said isn't canon anymore!" COZ-

Viv literally heavily implied on one of the streams Al's aroace, saying:

Oh no, I'm going to destroy the ship. I can't say. I don't want to ruin the fun for everybody. That's why I've been very quiet on whether or not Al is aromantic.

If I give a real canon answer [..] I don't wanna ruin anyone's fun

She knows the CANON answer to that question but doesn't say it aloud coz the canon somehow ruins fanon fun.

I really don't get why viv was then so eager to give everyone right to do whatever the hell they want but never confirm Al as aroace in the same. damn. fear. to ruin shipper's fun. Like? Bro if you gave the opportunity to do everything why hide what will change nothing? People will still ship, people will still play with his orientation (which is valid as long as you're respectful), but you know what it will give instead? Damn REPRESENTATION, damn CONFIRMATION, the damn thing your show is supposed to give.

Not to be rude, but then Husk being pan is non-canon as well (that's faustisse who said he is). And then media literacy is dead once again coz it's obvious Rosie was talking about dating Charlie not bout Al f=cking her. I might sound like overreacting but it's viv herself who is the reason of the war.

Screw fanon, canon should be stated by you, as a creator, giving the canon answers, coz you provide the show, you provide the characters, you provide the plot and lore and you are the one who created the characters the way they are. You can't really affect what people do with them, how they interpret them and how they create stories of them, but you are responsible for giving clearly defined information especially if it plays part in representation of the repressed group of real people.

Coz having actual confirmed aromantic IS a big achievement for us. Forcing him into the closet and taking away the bits of rep we could have is, honestly, a highly unwise choice. Saying fanon is a wide playground on which canon can have minimum influence but never giving specific canon statements is just utterly hypocrite. Aaand hiding the fact that someone is meant to not have any relationships for the sake of fanon (which is somehow much more important than real-life issues of literal erasure of aromantics) is pretty aphobic ngl.
