listen when we say we need aroace rep - we MEAN we need AROACE REP. becuze shock of all shocks, a character being just ACE is not aroace rep! same with a character being just aro is not aroace rep. not all aroace ppl see their aro and ace identities as separate.
I for one, find it difficult to separate my aro and ace identities from each other which is why i am AROACE and not aro and ace. A character being only ace is not representing me. I do not feel represented by only an ace character. they are not even half representing me because my asexuality goes hand in hand with my aromantisism. and Ace character is not half representing aroace people. I'm sorry but i do not relate to the alloace experience because i am not alloace. so a character being only ace is not relatable to me because they are not aroace. the same goes for if a character was only aro or aroallo.
Now before anyone decides to misinterpret this post to hell and back I'm not saying that aroallo or alloace rep is bad or shouldn't exist. I'm saying stop throwing aroace rep under the bus because "Actually we need more just aro/just ace rep" as if that somehow solves the issue of aroace rep being nonexistent.
#text#aro#aroace#ace#aromantic#asexual#aspec#also if i see someone be like 'ok but all ace rep is aroace they just call it ace' im going to strangle u#if they call it ace then it is ace!!!! it is not magically aroace because u decided thats what they REALLY meant#yeah society doesnt recognize aro as an identity but that doesnt mean that all ace characters are ACTUALLy aroace im going to explode u#im just tired of it being thought that aroace ppl have it so much better and dont need rep as much as just aro or just ace ppl#im tired of aroace ppl getting thrown under the bus because we are aro and ace and so obviiously we get double the rep or some bs#if you think this is about a post you are wrong it is about many posts all saying the same thing#because even in our own communities aroace ppl are the punching bags#because no matter where we go ppl are shit talking part of our identity or treating it as less than#i swear the communities focus on fully separating aro and aceness has been more detrimental than helpful#it's gotten to a point yall think there cant be any overlap ever and have sorta pushed aroace ppl out of both communities#because 'you cant bring ace experiences into aro spaces! not everyone who is aro is aroace!'#'you cant bring aro experiences into ace spaces because not all aces are aro! we can feel love and have relationships!!!'#basically ignoring the nuance and overlap our communities have in order to try to be seen as independent identities.#idk i miss when we would work together and understand each identity as different but also see that there was similarities and overlap

okay…so…we don’t judge for special interests here right…? cause i am very VERY intense with mine.
so my question is…have you ever thought about solangelos kids….
CAUSE I HAVE
I don’t have all of the lore sorted out rn but i know that they have three kids the first two are girls and the last is a boy.
but with their first daughter…i sort of have some of her stuff sorted out i mean it might change but…
SO (if you don’t mind me infodumping i just NEED to know someone else’s opinion and i have no other ppl who won’t think i’m crazy.)
first things first. Her name is wysteria (just a dif spelling of wisteria cause it looks cool) Bianca solace di angelo (or di angelo solace i can never decide…)
she has tanner skin and freckles but nico’s brown eyes and wills blonde hair. her hair is pretty dang long and sort of whispy almost like taylor’s at the start of her career. (also i find it funny if she were to just have the horrendous mash of an italian and southern accent lmao)
most of the time i imagine her she’s like 16-ish. she’s very kind and caring like will.
she’s either aroace or a lesbian or both i can’t decide yet-
she likes dresses over other clothes (we don’t judge a girl who knows what she likes even tho that’s a stereotype)
and her main powers are sort of a combination of hades and apollo but she more specializes in the light and dark aspects of the two gods.
SO she has really good light manipulation powers and can blind people and if she tries REALLY REALLY HARD she can make it a tangible object she can step on. she also glows cause idk it’s funny.
BUT she also has amazing shadow bending powers. she can again blind people but with obscuring their vision and she is MUCH better at shadow travel than nico is since her specialty is shadows. she’s not very great at the other hades aspects tho. she gets tired after like 10 jumps where nico gets tired after 1. so she normally fights by reaching out to the shadows and pulling them around herself and then zipping around the enemy and teleporting away before they can get to her. it looks very cool from afar. her main weapon is a stygian iron sword like nico’s but it looks kinda different and has some gold aspects. (hazel got the gold for her)
she loves music and to sing (ehem headcanon that she sung a version of nancy mulligan for one of nico and wills anniversary’s ehem)
but she is great all around and i love her even if i’m the only one who actually thinks of her existence.
help i just yapped so much very sorry but lmk your thoughts!
WE DO NOT JUDGE HERE (that'd be so hypocritical seeing as im the one who got so obsessed with nico being a popstar that i wrote 200k words and counting abt it..)
to be quite honest, i haven't! i guess that in my head i kind of will always picture them sort of as like 15 year olds, bc that's how they are in canon and i also always see them younger as me, so i don't spend that much time thinking about an aged up solangelo (despite the fact that they're nearly in their twenties in talk your talk, wow) but!!! i love this hc omg!!!
i love wysteria first of all😭 my mind automatically goes to the lakes, and i just think that's SUCH a solangelo song so ofc i think that's a perfectly fitting name!!!
personally i'm a fan of solace di angelo bc when you put it into google translate, italian -> english, it means "angel's solace" (and i know that google translate is far from accurate, but i just find that so cute <3) but also my brain says make it alphabetical order (so di angelo solace...) either way both are great!!
(also i find it funny if she were to just have the horrendous mash of an italian and southern accent lmao) YES. YES. THAT'D BE HILARIOUS. i just imagine that like some words she would pick up from nico with an italian accent, and then some from will with a southern accent, and then those blended together in a sentence would be so funny😭
i loveee diving into the light manipulation powers. i find it so nice to see the things that nico and will have in common and how they could work together with those powers, i think they'd be so powerful (and also it'd look really sick)
i love this!!! thank u so much for sharing :)

AUUUUUUUGH everytime an allo person says "b-b-but aroaces can date and have sex! they can be normal!" i start seeing red i want to bite those people sooo bad oh my god
like, yeah, we know we can do those things! but alot of us dont want to. personally im aro (and demisexual but i dont rlly consider that an important part of my identity) and kinda fluctuate between romance repulsion and kinda positive indifference if that makes sense? (like, cupioromantic but irl romance repulsed maybe? idk) and i think what the ppl saying this dont get is that we get enough of that shit irl and we're just. tired of being treated as if we're incomplete without romance/and or sex
anyway thank you for aroace mauvika<3
(and i hope youre safe btw! northern serbia is also at risk of flooding right now afaik so i can empathise lol)
NO BECAUSE LITERALLY SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! allo people piss me off so bad with that shit. shut the hell up. it is not the "activism" you think it is babe, it just annoys the shit out of actual aroace people. your arophobia is showing. sit down.
no i totally understand!!!!! i'm demiromantic and uhhh something else. still figuring that one out. but nevertheless—sure i can date (and do! i have a boyfriend who i love very much <3) and whatnot, but do i want to? would i go out of my way to do those things? are they important to me? no. 👍 and i think everything would be better if we stopped addressing everyone (regardless of if they're allo or aro) with the "romance and sex are fundamental and unavoidable human experiences" thought in mind, because no they fucking aren't 🙏 humans are whole and complete with or without those things 🙏
of course <33 aroace mavu my beloved my adored <333
(ouhhh i am, dw! we're expecting a hurricane to make landfall soon but i'm nowhere near it's direct path so the most i'll get is probably heavy rain and wind. i just want it to flood my college campus, which is notorious for flooding VERY easily LMFAOOOO but anyways!!!! i hope you're safe as well)

pls stfu abt ori -sincerely, o!magicsings
Im so so fucking tired
Writing this on a better mindset than ive been recently
But i really wish i could just. Never have to hear about him again.
I dont think i can even say what he even did. As in c!Ori, the one from my canon, multiple timelines actually, including a vent au/ficlet i made once.
I just. I hate him. I hate seeing him everywhere. People left silvia and adrienss in the dust more easily, why cant it be the same with him?
Even from a fan perspective i never liked his character
But its specially hard bc of the shit he did- and what his cc! did too the other members fuckin hate the guy!
I just hate him. I dont wanna see halo boy anymore.
I hate his name, i hate his face and i hate his voice.
I hate his eyes, i hate his smile, i hate his hands.
I hate him. So fucking much.
I have a server where we rp random characters, both mc ones and from other fandoms. And i was scared this one guy was gonna claim halo boy. And low and behold he did.
Ive been told he plays him so different from canon. But i dont care.
I know if i see him in the same world as me ill start having a panic attack ooc and ic (well duh im playing myself) cause hahahah no fucking shot. I dont want him around me ever again.
I just really want him gone.
Please i dont wanna have to see him mentioned or his face around ever again.
Sigh great i thought i wasnt as affected but letting this out is saying otherwise. God.
Im so glad i have somewhere to post this now.
I really. Dont like him. I hate him actually. I hate everything about him.
Plus he was so toxic to my sister wtf!! And he would hit on her knowing she was aroace too. She thought he was just "being nice"... girl PLS WAKE UP!!! GRRR
Idfk. I just hate him sm.
Aaaaahhh ig its time to continue that vent art i cooked so hard w the other day... yuhh..
Might post it here? Still scared of other ppl finding it ghhh

I just feel like aphobia is constantly treated as a lesser, more minor concern than other things. Like it's still very acceptable on this site to just...ignore it. To not actually give a shit about it. Even on my last post i could feel myself internally dismissing it as a concern because i know its not something people care about, you can see it in the way i tack on things like violent and vicious and hateful aphobia bc i know to a lot of people, its not enough if its just someone laughing at us for being cringey, or making virgin jokes, or reblogging posts where the entire butt of the joke is either a young ace person being cringey and loudly ace OR literally a fucking troll blog run by an aphobe to make fun of us. We might get some ppl giving half a shit about it, when they cross that line from infantalizing us and mocking us for being weird and cringey, (largely still acceptable to the wider tumblr community) to straight up rape apologism or sexual harassment, that maybe crosses a line for some people.
Then again, depends how quippy they word it. Id say,
going onto ace headcanon posts by minors about their favorite characters and describing in graphic, extensive detail, how much that character FUCKS, they love [graphic description of sexual acts] and [more graphic description of sexual acts, sometimes including the most vulgar possible way to reference different genitals being acted upon], counts as sexual harassment. Just because its fandom related and hyperbolic doesnt make it suddenly acceptable, and yet.
Idk its just. Exhausting. The fact that its gotten to me, even, and the way i word things when i talk about it, is especially frustrating. The fact that when i bring up aphobes, i dont feel its sufficient to Just bring up aphobes, i feel the need to specify that im talking about the REALLY hateful ones, the ones that make posts about graphic violence they wish to enact upon us for. Existing. Not bringing up the ones that are just idk mocking us or whatever, because I know people dont care about us enough for that. Thats not a concern. Its really frustrating.
#toy txt post#aphobia#im so tired. things have gotten a lot better since like 2015. for ne at least. its MUCH less often that someone will randomly put#an extremely aphobic post on my dash seemingly out of the blue from someone i previously thought was chill and safe. ive unfollowed enough#that that doesnt happen as much anymore. ive gotten decent at checking ppls blogs before i follow altho lately ive gotten lazy about it#and i live in fear for when thatll bite me in the ass. its very lucky that i think most of the ppl i follow take terfs seriously as a threat#and so make an effort not to platform them and when theyre told about them they delete the post etc. im very glad! i dont want that to#i just wish i could trust all of those sake ppl to take the aphobia with the same legitimacy. to make fhe same effort to learn the#dogwhistles and avoid platforming them too. but expecting that feels less reasonable than it does to expect from ppl in regard to terfs#just. idk. frustrating and upsetting and also frustrating and upsetting that the aphobe dis/course got to me enough that seeing other#a-specs demand legitimacy from ppl. demand to be explicitly included in things. instead of making me like proud of them it makes me afraid#and nervous for them. this fucking website has me waiting for the aphobe shoe to drop on stuff like that. im terrified that its going to#like. turn into the next cringey meme to mock us for everytime. and i would never say that on those posts obviously. and fucking. props to#every a-spec on this website brave enough to keep earnestly posting qbout this shit like legitimately. youre doing amazing work and im so#proud of you. but i sit there and look at it and feel my moment of fear at what the backlash might be to that and then i go wow.#aphobe shitco/urse sure did fuck me up good huh like i thought i got through all that Okay! but clearly. not. clearly.#that caused some trauma or damage or whatever. and i probably need to talk to a therapist about it or something but lmaoooo there is no way#ill ever feel comfortable talking to a therapist about fucking tumblr a/phobe dis/course! are you kidding me! lmao! im not even sure i#should tell them im aroace! oh thats the other thing i have DEFINITELY gotten more wary about being out as aroace. or trying to connect w#irl other queer ppl cos im so paranoid now about secret aphobes like. god. anyway. i should stop posting on here and go Do Things#around the house
