#so glad to be acearo

[skywriterjade]

I am the therapist friend. Every day, I thank God for making me acearo-spec because if I had to deal with half of the things I help my friends cope with I'd off myself.

Like, if your partner cheated many, many, many times throughout your relationship. Over 7 yrs together. The logical thing after trying to make it work the first time (maybe first three I'll allow as they both did awful things and really wtaf ppl) is to leave. Like, your mental health is not worth that.

Do I say all of this so bluntly? No. Do I wish I could? Yes. But I love my friend and I know it's not what they need to hear rn because everyone has been telling them this for years. Years! This last break up was supposed to be the end. Wtf

i really really really like that elora, bear, willie jack, and cheese are all still friends in the end. none of them got together romantically. theyre really close and they love each other so much and theyre friends. i was so afraid that when bear and elora had that moment in the chapel they were going to confess feelings for each other but they didnt. theyre friends and they love each other and arent afraid to say it. they hugged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and theyre friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allastoredeer]

Gotta say, ty for expressing aroace rep in a way that I could never put to words. I really enjoy your characterization of all the Hazbin Hotel characters and I can't wait to read more of your writing!

Of course 🥹 It feels good to put feelings into words. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've actually explored asexuality in a character before, and I'm slowly latching onto Alastor as my little acearo doll that I can play with and put all my thoughts, experiences, and emotions in to explore things I've only ever given thought to in my head.

I'm so fucking excited to get more into his aroace identity the more his and Lucifer's relationship develops. Like, it's what I'm mostly thinking about whenever I'm brainstorming for my RadioApple fics.

When I tell you Alastor gives me brainrot, I'm being so serious. He's on my mind 24/7.

And thank you!!! Ahhh, I know I keep repeating it, but hearing that people enjoying my characterization makes me just

Literally every time. Without fail. So thank you so so much ಥ_ಥ

I can't wait to share more of my writing! I have, like, 2 StaticRadio prompts ruminating in my brain (one fluffy, cute, misunderstanding, and the other just...dark, trauma, manipulation, feels. So...just so much and I'm actually VERY excited to get into it. I love exploring dark themes). I have lots of thoughts and ideas for my "Just Kiss Already" series, and so many crack concepts I'm constantly high.

I just need the time ಠ⌣ಠ

I am a homebody. I don't like leaving my place if I don't Have to. I can go on vacation for a single day and Still be immediately glad to go home and not want to leave it again for any reason at all whatsoever for At Least a few weeks.

That's the context for this. Nothing has ever made me want to get on a return trip to a locale faster than leaving NYC (70~°f) and then hearing the pilot announce it was 106° (even though the sun had already been down for a Bit) as we were landing in Dallas

[chisatowo]

I wanna rant abt aro shit again buttttttt it involves getting all philosophical abt the concept of love and I don't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole my mental health can't take it rn lol

[arolesbianism]

Sigh. It begins (being forced to see the worst aro hcs I've ever seen in my life because ppl have a talent for finding the absolute worst characters to be their token aro hc)

[noxexistant]

I’m absolutely in love with those pfp ❤️❤️ is it possible to get some kath and Sarah acearo pfp (I don’t think they’re acearo I want it for myself) 👀👀 sorry for all the asks

my girls!!!

i’m so glad you like them, i hope you like these ones too <3

[salad-006]

hi salad

I've been thinking about this for a long time... so, theoretically, can I (or anyone) ship oliver and evelyn (his girlfriend)? you just pointed out that you are not glad to see shipping content, and at the same time your character has a partner.

Honestly i can totally see why this makes me sound like a hypocrite , so let me try to explain it in a bit more detail (INCOMING LONG RAMBLEY RANT)

To put it simply: im acearo. Im one of those who's so heavily detatched from sex and romance that i just have zero interest in it at all, and I never have. So hopefully you can understand how romance being such a massive and reoccurring trope in effectively All media can get pretty tiresome and annoying for someone who doesn't really understand the nuances of love. One of the many reasons I like eddsworld so much is it's one of the few shows out there that's almost Never used romance in any sort of serious or long-lasting way. I can fully enjoy all of the writing.

And this isn't to say I'm AGAINST portrayal of romance in media, obviously it's a huge part of human history in many ways. I think what i truly dislike the most is when shipping stories are introduced via fanon that weren't there before. If that makes sense?? Like I dont like canon romance storylines, but I can just ignore them. But when a fandom turns what's left into a romantic story as well I cant really enjoy the fandom content the same way everyone else does. I don't even bother reading fanfic anymore just because i know it'll aways be there and I'll always be uncomfortable and close out early. (This isn't me demanding everyone stops shipping btw. I've done just fine for years by simply ignoring it. You do you, I'll just look the other way while you do it)

With oli and eli they're dating in cannon, but i never truly ever draw them being like romantic romantic, nor do i ever dive into the intricacies of their relationship. The fact that he's with eli barely has plot relevance in the overarching zomverse story (name patent pending) and that's how I like it. There is no story to them being in love its just how it is, and how it always will be.

This was long and nonsensical so

TLDR: what i dont like more specifically is romance-central stories, not just romance in itself. Oli and elis relationship has no story to it and i never do anything with it, which is why its there. So as long as you're not going too crazy (they're all minors as a reminder) I'm okay with that yeah . (Though realistically i dont think you're really shipping when the pairing already exists lol. The ships already sailed)

I'm so glad I'm acearo and don't have to deal with amatonormative relationship bullshit.

[rhys-writes-some-shit]

Hi as someone who is also acearo I love your Alastor QP headcanons, and I was wondering if I could request Alastor seeing Vox hitting on his QP partner and trying to convince them to join the V's, his partner is obviously not having it, but Vox not taking the hint.

Working on this right now! It'll probably be a small one, but I'm having fun characterizing "Reader's" personality :)

My favorite line so far is "Call me sweetheart again and I'll castrate you."

One of the reasons I started writing my own Alastor fics is because I'm tired of everything being romantically or sexually charged. I'm so glad you're enjoying them ^-^

[edalynn]

i watched wad at 1 am last night. i remember thinking "im gonna be so sad if hunter and willow are dating in the future" and i remember CHEERING WHEN THEY WERE NOT!! THEY ARE ACEARO FRIENDS TO ME FOREVER.

YEAH! Y E A H. i was so GLAD. like thank fucking GOD they let it remain ambiguous im so thrilled. Left it up to interpretation as it SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. BIG WIN FOR US, BOYS

[artsycrapfromsai]

I’m love your art with Amaryllis and the other BG3 characters, it’s super cute!

It’s also so nice to see a demisexual character!

Have a nice day! ☀️

Aaaaa, thank you!!! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my art so much!!! 🥺💕💕💕

Aaaa, yeah!!! Amaryllis is bi, demi-sexual, demi-romantic, and poly!! In her main campaign, she's got 5 different partners (all aware of each other and are totally okay with Amy dating each of them)!!

Im acearo myself, so i think it's easier for me to write characters who are aspec or demi in some ways haha, it's harder for me to relate otherwise

Have a nice day as well!!!! 💕 Thank you for the kind words!!

[rena-and-raw-cookie-dough]

So glad my local festival had a lot of ace and aro merch and recognition. It is unpleasant truth that many don’t see use as members of the community. And as a acearo person it was so refreshing to see my identity acknowledged and praised by my peers.

Stay safe out there my dudes

[brittie-frog]

Happy belated International Asexuality Day have some OCs

My newly made acearo gender envy OC Rylin hastily finished

My Token CisHet Dylan but he's dating a bisexual so ally points

Both of these were pretty hastily done and now that I look at them I see things I want to change so glad I didn't merge the layers and will fix them during Summer

[aro-culture-is]

I'm still relatively new to identifying on the acearo spectrums, so only one of my friends knows (and he only found out as a fluke of convenient timing, not that I necessarily tell him first), and he was super supportive.

He, literally a week or two later, after joining him to a theme park with some friends, asks me if I'd want to be in a relationship with him. The whole thing was just a ploy to ask me out. We talked about it a few days later and he said he forgot I was aro questioning, which I expected, but part of me still felt awful after having him forget something so important like that.

Regardless of what happened (what's done is done, right?), it was the biggest cure for my acearo imposter syndrome. The way I physically felt myself fill with dread when I realized he was about to ask me out felt indescribable

I'm so sorry that your friend hurt you like that. It's rough when people forget (or worse, "forget") important details like that about you. I hope that things work out and that you receive support and affirmation from those in your life.

That said, I'm glad you feel affirmed!

I love how gender critical "feminists" reduce trans masculine people down to their uteruses and essentially act as if they're just baby making machines, turn around and act ignorant on why people are upset with them, call them "lost lesbian sisters" uwu, and then turn around and say it doesn't happen. Not to mention most of you freaks are lesbians. Makes me glad to be acearo knowing I wouldn't have to put up with fetishizing freaks who just see me as a "wombanly wombyn who boobily breasted".

If you hear women are female people and conflate that with "you are a baby making machine" that's your own problem. You need to challenge your own internalised misogyny and actually realise that women are fully developed humans with diverse and rich internal lives. I am not the one sexualising women, men are and so are you with the way you have described being a woman. Plus, it's not radfems who call women, and trans identified females, people with uteruses, cervix owners and birthing bodies/parent ect. Maybe you need to call that out in your movement and consider why we need the words women, female and girl to stay sex based.
