my favorite ship dynamic is "I've had to watch you go into the path of no return and I love you" and its just blonde boys watching dark haired guys literally make the worst decisions known to man

love getting hit on and immediately after telling them im aroace they say:

GET ME OUT OF HERE

[altschmerzes]

honestly i just think I will fundamentally never understand the very common (and sometimes posited as universal which i don’t love) sentiment among aromantic people/communities that like. oh one part of aromanticism is Not Understanding Or Caring About Or Getting The Point Of the line between friendship and romance, the distinction of different types of relationship. because for me as an aromantic person that line and distinction is actually Extremely important and clear and it feels… weird and bad to consistently see it posited as this like. Prominent Aro Thing to not understand/care about that.

ACTIONS will never inherently be allotted to one type of relationship or another, and the only feeling that is inherently romantic is romantic attraction/love, but the like. labeling itself of relationships and feelings and actions based on the person or people involved… idk. THAT is very important to me. it is Very Important to me that it’s extremely clear that none of my relationships or actions or feelings are or ever will be romantic and it’s important to me that those labels are seen and respected. it’s important to me in my personal life, and it’s reflectively important to me in the stories i tell and the ones i interact with.

idk. people are obviously welcome to the sentiment and i dont begrudge them having it and maybe im misunderstanding what this means when people say it. but it does make me feel a little anxious and once again the odd guy out in my own community to constantly be seeing this posited as like. An Inherently Aromantic Quality to not understand the difference between types of relationship or the point in differentiating. it will always be critically important to me that romance has and will have no place in my life or relationships. once i learned it was possible not to feel romantic feelings or attraction - and i accepted that it was true for me - everything became very clear to me at that point. ‘how do you Know’ i just know. I Just Know. and that matters to me.

too aromantic for ts

sonic shippers. come here. please. give me ur theses on ur fave ships. especially rarepairs. i want to hear about why youre so invested in them. i want to try what youre cooking.

in exchange i shall spread my rougaze propaganda. my them. rouge sees romance as a challenge and neither she or blaze will willingly back down. they match each others stubbornness. they ALSO match each others wits and people skills. its enrichment for them. but crucially they are doomed. their priorities are too different and they dont Want a long term relationship. theyre a quick supernova. yet their priorities are fundamentally the same bc its abt the people they love. rouge wont leave team dark and blaze wont leave her world. blaze and rouge get together on the train (read my fic) and they have a firestorm of a romance that ends soooo messily <3 they both wish the other changed and knew she wouldnt and knew she COULDNT. and yet they still want it.

I'm going to explode every writer that uses romantic love as character development. I'm so tired of "They aren't interested in dating" being used as a flaw that needs to be fixed by making the character fall in love with someone.

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

I don’t have any other way to describe my read on their dynamic other than Geode is in a gay relationship and Cole is in a QPR that is all

[jojoturnip]

I can feel the bitchy aroace inside of me getting angry about dating again. Someone remove all romcoms within a 12 mile radius of my vicinity or they will certainly implode

[nyancrimew]

I don’t know whether I’m on the aromantic spectrum or polyamorous. It’s really hard to tell when you’re extremely autistic and also can’t rely on “well, romance is limited to one person at a time”.

i used to struggle w that too tbh, but now im like poly and while romance is still a bit confusing and complicated esp w mental health i think that was the right choice for me personally and ill slowly figure myself out and always try to be clear about how i can be potentially confusing in romantic relationships before i start any.

so hey you know how Hatake Kakashi never actually married anyone or showed prevalent interest in romance and how he was happy with his eternal rivalship/friendship with Might Guy and was okay with living with a pack of dogs and teaching rat bastard children ninja bullshit instead of searching for The One 24/7?
