Tumblr is having asexual discourse while twitter is having bisexual discourse.

Queer people will never be free at this rate.

Asexual people are queer.

Bisexual people are queer.

Have a lovely day.

#aroace #aromantic #arospec #bisexual #im actually so tirec of this shit #just wrap it up dawg #play some Fortnite or something i heard the new season is pretty good #Its better than doing this shit every two weeks man #not so silly thoughts

Aggressively Arospec Week 2024, Day 1: Lilith

(Tap/click for better quality)

Starting off the week with a canonically aromantic character!

I actually started to headcanon her as aroace before she was canonically confirmed to be, so when it was confirmed, I got to feel the double joy of 1) there being a canonically aroace character in my current favorite show and 2) my headcanon being confirmed canon.

The only issue I have is that I wish it was confirmed in the actual show itself, at least in a brief comment, like her saying she doesn't get romance/it's not her thing, or an aroace flag somewhere on her or her belongings.

Do not repost/reupload my work, but reblogs are appreciated.

Seeing ace week trending is reminding me of the time my dad spent several months convinced I was a lesbian because he couldn’t fathom the concept of choosing to not be in a relationship 😭😭

#if i had a nickel for every time someone thought i was into women i’d only have like 5 but it’s still so funny to me each time #asexuality week #asexual #aromantic #aroace

ARO WEEK 2023

just some of my favs to end the week :)

THE WOLF AMONG THE WILD HUNT / adult fantasy novella / centres a QPR between and aroace & enby

BAKER THIEF / adult urban/high fantasy / one of the two MCs is aro bi

FIREBREAK / adult sci-fi/dystopia / aroace MC, platonic besties and friend-crushes

FIRE BECOMES HER / YA historical fantasy / demi-demi MC

EVERY BIRD A PRINCE / MG Contemporary fantasy / questioning Aro MC dealing with amatonormativity

KAIKEYI / adult historical fantasy/retelling / aroace MC

SAILING BY ORION’S STAR / adult historical fiction / multiple aroace MCs

COMMON BONDS / anthology / focused on aros & platonic relationships

AN ACCIDENT OF STARS / upper YA/adult portal fantasy / secondary MC is a polyam married aro woman

*as a note, some of these only briefly explore aromanticism, and/or explore the ace part of the aroace character more. If you want more details on how much things are explored, see my database!

Aro culture is debating for YEARS if trauma made you aro or if you always were. Then you get informed about Avoidant Personality Disorder and now you’re sitting here like.. I’m aro and have a personality disorder?????????????? Because that makes a lot more sense. I do yearn for connection because of the disorder but I do not feel consistent romantic attraction 😳😳 it’s like bearly there at all like an incense that keeps going out.

.

#aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #at this point i've accepted that whatever's going on in our head is symptom soup #like there's genetics for a number of things and trauma so whatever the result is #i can at least say with certainty that therapy alone was Not E-Fucking-Nough for reducing depression symptoms #and neither therapy nor anxiety meds reduced our anxiety to any noticable degree #and i mean like. therapy through my university required us to fill out the PHQ9 and GAD7 every single appointment. i generally had 3 weeks #in between appointments.#2 years of pure therapy mildly reduced the depression numbers - from the 96th percentile in students - to something more like...#still major depression but not *that*#and anti-depressants got me to like... just ever so barely below the threshold between severe and moderate depression at its best #but! as we noticed while talking about this #i had one (1!) single score over three years of therapy that was not IDENTICAL for anxiety including when trying antidepressants with #anti-anxiety capabilities and when trying a specific anti-anxiety med #the single difference was by one point down and honestly it was mostly a little blip of nice life events #brain sure goes brr in here

it truly means a lot to have a-specs be specifically included 💜💚

Ahh thank you nonny, I'm so glad to hear that!

We got a couple questions/comments in the interest survey this year wondering if a-spec characters were only allowed on specific prompts/days, so we wanted to make sure it was so very clear that that has never been our intent! 💜💚

#polyship week #asexual #aromantic #aroace #a-spec characters are welcome here all day every day!#asked and answered

#queerplatonic yearning hours #saw them over video call for the first time in weeks and DAMN #my breath was very literally taken away #they're ethereal #<3 #hearing their voice again felt so good #I can't wait to hear it every day again #loving hours #queerplatonic #alterous attraction #aromantic

Honestly realising it is completely fine to not want a romantic relationship not only because I just don’t want to but also because I don’t want the commitment and want to freely make decisions for my life just how I want to live it felt really nice :)

#cause like I feel like I’ve been blamed for wanting to make decisions without a partner in my mind #because I want to be able to do on trips or study elsewhere without having to factor in another person #*go #but honestly as long as I’m open about that and don’t get into a relationship and then ignore all the needs this person has #than it’s completely fine and valid and nothing is wrong with that #this still doesn’t feel fully right but having another friend think the same and me not believing they are in the wrong for that helps #just let me live #starrytalking #aromantic #asexual #aroace #queer #relationship #commitment #freedom #life #also not wanting to be committed to a romantic partner doesn’t mean not being able to connect with people #or not being able to be close and in a way committed in friendships #I love my friends a lot! but they also don’t demand me to be on a phone call with them every single fucking day of a vacation #or express that they wouldn’t be okay with me wanting to go on a vacation or internship far away for more than a few weeks because they #would just forget about me in a way?#like yes this is very directed at one person and I think I both misunderstood their point there and also they r valid in there needs and I #just didn’t realise I don’t actually want a relationship (with neither of us being good at communicating our needs and wants yay)#but this still sucked #and ofc my friends express that they’ll be sad about not seeing me for a while #but also I don’t feel like they want to lock me in a cage and control me every move because they express sadness without stopping me from #going. which the person I’m angry at also probably didn’t actually want but well their emotions sometimes got the better of them #and having needs in a relationship is obv valid but they have to be communicated and shouldn’t be controlling and I should’ve reflected on #what I want so just a lot went wrong but I’m learning a lot atm :)

#unfuckingbelievable #fellas #is it enough to take the day off from work to spend time with your spouse on your anniversary #and then not even bother saying ‘happy anniversary’ because it’s y’know OBVIOUS why you took the day off?#forget a card or flowers or anything else for that matter #because those didn’t happen either #but not even saying a perfunctory *happy anniversary* because it’s *obvious*?#i guess that can be the new standard for birthdays too! why not?#and for the record that ‘spending time’ was fucking up an autistic woman’s morning routine #and then staying face planted in a phone before spending an hour in choice paralysis not knowing what tv show to watch #over two decades lads #and we don’t say ‘happy anniversary’ because we both know the date and it’s OBVIOUS #un. fucking. believable.#i do not even know how to express the hurt right now #like i had my expectations so low you only have to step over them #and yet #i feel like a real fucking asshole just venting about this #but even my shitty dad got my mother a card every year on their anniversary #and this one supposedly likes me #in an aroace kind of way #does being aromantic preclude a person from saying ‘I’m glad i married you’?#it doesn’t have to be said with flowers but it could at least be said #i am begging for clear communication and all i got was a bunch of ‘well it’s obvious innit’#over two decades #and i make pie every week #and this is what i get #💔

I still very loathe the Media Trope of ‘’cold genius man doesn’t feel emotions and never has relationships... UNTIL.. one random relatively bland Preddy Woman comes along and warps his entire personality and ability to think, his heart has grown and his seeming asexuality has evaporated, he is now Normal :)” or whatever like... AS a walking generic hermit archetype myself.. we would NOT act like that .... just let people be detached weirdos in peace, you cowards .. OR, don’t bother to write one in the first place if you find us too boring to exist realistically in our natural state lol.. pathetic

#the only exception to this is its okay if he develops some pesudo-romantic psychologial fixation on one of his long suffering male sidekicks #or assistants or whatever (since this character acrhetype ALWAYS has some sort of like Straight Man Every Man helper to follow #him around and be an audience stand in. sometimes multiple like a whole team of assistants. sometimes just one etc.)#like a strange not-entirely-romance-but-mutualy-unhealthy-comedic-codependence w someone you worked w 25+ yrs COULD be in character. sure.#ASIDE from that one exception though..... just keep them aromantic and asexual.. why would someone who has been that way for their #entire fucking life suddenly be like ''well I've known this woman three weeks but she's really hot! whoops!''#''guess I'm going to act completely out of character! sometimes booba so booby it fundametally alters the dna of me personality. you know ho #w it is'' .. like shut up.. explode #It's not that I project personally onto these characters (writers are bad at writing them and they're generally annoying as shit) BUT just #like... coming FROM the perspective OF a cold detached ''robot'' seeming hermit freak.. like textbook scholar wizard man locked #away in a tower somewhere type personality... You just watch shows sometimes and you can SEE that the writers are trying to write #the Character Archetype that is your actual realworld personality and you're just like 'we do NOT fucking act like that!!!' lol #you know ? like .. i don't actually care about the characters themselves but more just.. the principle of the thing. staying true to what #has been set up. You can't be like ''oh yeah this is your typical cold detached hermit weirdo with zero interest in human relationships for #the most part blah blah blah'' and then 5 minutes later be like ''WAIT GUYS!! LOOK! they're still NORMAL! look they love booba #too!!! haha hashtag Relatable!!'' .. what have you done to him.. you've massacred the archtype.. cowardly fool #Also I'm referencing them as male because this character archtetype is usually male but the same thing can apply for other gendered versions #of the archetype. it's ALWAYS annoying. no matter what it is lol. GOD AND IT'S even worse when they're supposed to be like hundreds or thous #ands of years old like.. some sort of supernatural being who's ''above it all'' because they've seen the world's cycles for so long #and blah blah and then it's like ''omg.. suddenly into romance.. for some reason all 900 years of my life nobody has ever been good #enough but YOU.. random ass person who I met 30 minutes ago and are completely average in every way or maybe you have like one #special power or are smart or something but apparently somehow I've lived 900 years without ever meeting a single other smart person #or whatever but WOW.. you... instant soulamtes.. I am no longer aromantic and asexual. I am also no longer smart.''#at least if it's a human with a normal lifespan you can be like 'well they were only 30. maybe they genuinely did just have their first #sexul awakening' or something but.. you're telling me like.. 900 years??? 1000 years?? and NOW they're like 'whooa!!' lol #Which obviously all aroace people are different.. all people with autism or schizoid pd or any other mental illnesses that can sometimes #lend people towards that type of 'weird hermit' archetype are all different. plenty of these people WILL have relationships and sex and desi #re those things. but it's like.. if you are OBVIOUSLY setting out to write that one VERY specific archetype within the broader archetype #then GO ALL THE WAY!! you cant have someone be like HALF-detached partial-hemrit sometimes-maybe-genuis or whatever #or I guess you can but like. it should be that way from the beginning. it's the random sudden shift in personality thats jarring
