#love mention

[ayspec]

i love being aplatonic!! i love being aromantic!! i love being asexual!! i love being asensual!! i love being simultaneously lovequeer and loveless and arolovic!! i love defying what’s expected of me!! i love looking at amanormativity and spitting in its eye and kicking it in the balls and watching it fall to the ground as i beat it with a stick!! i love being alive and happy and queer and weird and free!! and i hope aspecs everywhere learn to embrace their identities and be happy with who they are too <2

This is something of a sequel to my original essay on being loveless.

It's also a discussion of the ways love is wielded against allo-aros, the a-spec community's ongoing conflation of love and attraction, and the impact allosexual aromanticism has on my lovelessness.

Because too often, unfortunately, I see loveless aromantic identity communicated and celebrated so as to exclude me, and other allosexual aros, from it.

I hope that's something we can begin to change this Aro Week.

Being in aro4aro love is top tier

Simultaneously the most lesbian and aromantic things I’ve ever done is ever since I was very young I would link love songs to my best friend

snippet from a fic I’ll never write:

“…No, no, no; What I mean is - Think of it like this: Imagine you’ve lived in a desert your whole life. And you’re used to getting your water out of the ground, or maybe from a river or something. And it’s perfectly fine - You always had enough water to survive! This is how you grew up, it’s what you’re used to!

But, imagine you move somewhere else, and… it rains. You’ve heard of rain, of course, and maybe you even saw it once, as a kid. But it rains here - it really rains. And the locals have different words for the different kinds of rain - It might be a drizzle, a downpour, a light rain, heavy rain…

But it’s all water, falling from the sky! And you can go stand out in it!

You don’t really care what kind it is, because it’s… it’s all beautiful.

So, yeah… Of course I ‘love’ him. I love all of you. And… I don’t really care what kind it is. Y’know?”

Aro Love Posting

I love her so much, but how do I tell her without making things weird?

They’re my best friend, and she’s aspec as well so I think she’d understand but what if I’m just another friend to her?

It’s not romantic, but it’s so overpowering. I love her so, so much. I’m putting this here so I don’t burst and yell my feelings at them

If soulmates are real I think she’d be mine. But I have no idea if it’s onesided!!

Before knowing I was aro I worried about romantic feelings like this, I thought I’d never have to deal with it once I knew, but I want to tell her without messing up the friendship we have :(

I want to hold hands, go places together, be with her, but it’s driving me crazy that I might be more invested in this than they are

They’re my person, but what if I’m not hers?

Aaaaaagh

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

[whaledocboi]

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

“Do you think seahorses write fpreg” and the many other riveting things my friend texts me right before I go to work

[aroallo-culture-is]

aroallo culture is loving your friends a lot but also getting pissed off when anyone frames friendships as being necessary or love as being a universal experience because fuck you aplatonics and loveless peeps deserve better

just cause I love my friends doesnt mean anyone who doesnt love or doesnt have platonic feelings or want friends is missing anything >:[

hey there’s something i haven’t seen people talking about in deadpool and wolverine

in the car fight the blood on logan’s face in this frame is from wades wounds above him. he’s smiling like that as wades blood drips into his mouth… which could mean nothing
