Inverse valentine's day

The name is badass tbh. Day that's about hating love being called Skeletor's day is so great to me

The aroace flag looks oddly out of place compared to the rest of the Aspec flags

[am3ya]

the issue with shipping aro/ace characters isn't putting them into relationships, it's the fact that no one adds how their sexuality impacts the relationship at large. And how it'll always be different from your average romantic relationship in some way.

aroace sonic: *says the most flirty shit ever* also aroace sonic seconds later: *does a backflip of the couch and almost lands on his face* literally anyone: wtf.

He’s got the range

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

Romance is a scam made up by lawyers to sell divorce xoxo

god i wish. that would be so cool. i love divorce

[aspec-mafia-official]

every time someone tries to replace romance with frienship i start throwing apples at them.

this^ sure giving your favorite character platonic connections over romantic ones is great, but you can also make The Character apl and give them romantic/non-platonic connections over platonic ones and I think that's awesome

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

hi i love your art sososo much!!! im not sure if you're still taking requests, but if you are, could you please do an aego/asexual pigeon? thank you very much, and it's okay if you dont! :)

Pigeons, truly the aspec icon of the critter world.

there's just something about characters who were romantically involved calling each other friend, in grief. they were my friend. they were my lover, but above all else they were my friend, my confidant, the one person who really knew me. i miss my friend. idk drives me insane.

how does the Amy and Sonic dynamic work with your versions of the two characters?

Aroace Sonic pt 6 Platonic Sonic and Rose Romantic

1. Amy is still crushing on Sonic just like in most canon material. She knows it’s not recuperated but feelings are feelings and she still likes him quite a lot regardless. (She might have a little bit of a fantasy version of Sonic in her head kind of like crushing on a character rather than an irl person, but it’s only the slightest bit and her feelings are still genuine!) She definitely wants a romantic partner but she’s not one to force herself to change, she plans to let her feelings move naturally in whatever direction they end up going in.

2. Sonic loves his friends, Amy is no exception just because he knows she’s mad crushing on him. NORMALIZE FRIENDS CRUSHING ON FRIENDS WITHOUT IT BEING RECUPERATED AND THEY STILL HANG OUT AND LOVE EACH OTHER BECAUSE THAT’S OKAY! Sonic does not harbour any romantic feelings for Amy. He’s genuinely fine with her liking him and respects her feelings. He loves her in his own way anyways and doesn’t try to avoid doing things that might be seen as romantic just cause she likes him, she gets loved just the same as the rest of his friends thank you very much

3. Yellow Tulips depending where you look can mean happiness, cheerfulness, hope, and “You have sunshine in your smile.”

honestly something ive noticed is that when queer people make jokes like "im too gay for this" or "ew straight romance" other queer people get it and agree. but when an aro/ace person makes the same kinda jokes about their aro/aceness and allo people, suddenly we're the bad guys

THIS OMG thank you for articulating it
