#got aro for aro?

Sitting out on a high wind night did well too sooth Pietro's nerves. To block out the viciosness he saw in his sister's eyes. The ethereal storm of red that made him sink to his knees.

No, no, he didn't sink. He stood his ground.

He did. No...

He ran. He sped off till he couldn't.

Right, he got killed and brought back. By the obsessive will of his twin. The twin that his father, was that man even a father(?), favored. A special force of natural.

Strange and Wang, both said loud and clear, chaos. It doesn't have rules nor does it have a ruler. It rules the wielder. It controls the detached and passionate. It chokes the possessed with the lust for all their desires.

The things Wanda wanted, chaos wanted more. The whipping strands that tore, not in reality but into her.

The very strands that left them all nightmares. Him with a second chance. Vision... by the darkness, his one blue orange eye and the other red. Red like he got hit in the eye.

Pietro let the wind kiss his eyes close thinking about the others who are recovering from the ordeal. Wands voice reminding them all...

She isn't done.

He can feel her fingernails in his throat. He can hear her sacchrine whispers.

He can feel her mind bullet hammering into his own mind.

His body vibrating, Pietro laid back kicking his feet to create his own gust. Seeing the synthetic with a blanket and a thermo, the platinum blonde (HA, white as death that nabbed him. Pink as the strands the painted his scalp) reached out.

"Can't sleep?"

Vision sat by him, not floating but full on sat, "I hear her... I checked on the others... she won't stop. Not with us... not with them..."

Taking a slow sip, the speedster laid on Vision shoulder, "we need to stop her first. We need to."

Vision head face outward, from where Pietro laid on the cool as wind shoulder, he knows he is looking beyond the golden yellow fields of grass, "you're right."

He wishes he wasn't...

"Vision! You stupid fucking toaster!" Pietro stared at the empty skies. He wish he wasn't right.

Me, aroace:

Being a nonpartnering aro is funny because you’ll go “I would like to be single forever” and society is like “nooo you can’t be happy like that!” even though you are already single and happy about it. It’s so silly. What do you mean I can’t be happy staying single forever? I have been happily single my whole life. I am literally already doing the thing that people assume will bring lifelong misery upon me, and I’m happy. If I am doomed to lifelong misery, then where is that misery right now?

amatonormativity: a romantic partner should be the most important person in EVERYONE'S life

NOT amatonormativity: MY romantic partner is the most important person in MY life, but i understand this is not the same for other people

allosexnormativity: EVERYONE should have sex and sex is something EVERYONE needs/wants/should want

NOT allosexnormativity: I PERSONALLY enjoy sex and love having sex because it makes ME feel good, but other people dont feel the same and that's okay

platonormativity: having friends is important for EVERYONE and EVERYONE needs/has/should have friends

NOT platonormativity: having friends is important to ME and I PERSONALLY love having friends, but there are people who dont and theres nothing wrong with that

faminormativity (is that the word?): family is important for EVERYONE and EVERYONE needs to have their family

NOT faminormativity: family is important to ME and I PERSONALLY need my family with me, but other people dont feel the same and i understand that

lovenormativity (again, not sure if this is a word): EVERYBODY feels love and there's something wrong wiith you if you dont

NOT lovenormativity: I PERSONALLY feel love and love people, but not everyone does and that's completely okay!

NOT amatonormativity: i dont have friends/have any desire to have friends, i am happy with other relationships/no relationships at all

NOT platonormativity: i dont have any desire to be in a romantic relationships, and i am happy with my platonic relationships

NOT allosexnormativity: i like hooking up with people and having one night stands or friends with benefits

NOT faminormativity: i care about my family deeply and am close with family members

NOT lovenormativity: i feel love for people i care about

it's not normative to personally enjoy something, so long as you respect that other people simply arent like you and aren't going to like the same things as you. taking down normativity is a two way street, allos and aspecs need to do it. support your local aros, aces, apls, afams and other aspecs today! remember to challange all normativities, and to not enforce other normativity by saying how bullshit other normativities are!

nothing is universal. romance is not universal. sex is not universal. friendship is not universal. family is not universal. love is not universal. nothing is universal.

the day the aro community stops ignoring anyone and everyone they can't neatly package into their little boxes of 'romance favourable' and 'romance repulsed' is the day i can finally die happy

It must be weird to live so long that an integral part of himself is now accepted, he'll need more time to get there too

I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.

For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.

I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.

And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”

Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.
