Reading a fic. Enjoying it. On chapter 11. Read the line "that isn't something you do for someone who's just a friend". Close the fic.

Fuck I hate the way society is

Fuck

Bullshit

I'm so tired

Sweet Jesus, now the asexual tag is spammed by bots advertising supplements and other shit

I'M SO MAD

TUMBLR DO SOMETHING

"Love makes us human" no what makes us human is experiencing the joy that comes from eating foods in colors they're not supposed to be in(pistachio muffin, charcoal ice cream, java bananas)

Post-Flashpoint comics have been trying to push the idea of Jason as a ladies man and each time I have just not been convinced I say this with all the love in my heart I will concede to the fact that Jason Todd has had sex maybe 3 times. If I’m being generous

daily gentle reminder that the words we use to describe ourselves are labels. they're not immutable states of being, they're not all-encompassing, they're not permanent, they're not universal; labels are just words that we use to indicate something about our experience that we find important enough to communicate to others. if your experience with attraction is significantly different enough from a typical allo experience then aspec labels are there for you to use as long as you want them; and conversely, what aspec labels communicate is just that someone's experience is aligned enough with what we describe as aromanticism/asexuality to warrant telling people about it. you never need a label, you never need to keep a label, you never need to justify a label, and you never need to use a label for anything besides what you want it for. it's not a contract. it's an adjective that you can choose to use or not to use. all it needs to do is be useful for you. 💚🖤

* Aromantic includes arospec, asexual includes acespec, and aroace/acearo includes aroacespec/acearospec and other unit terms that may be used instead of aroace/acearo (ex: ay, spadillic, ...)

** Romantic/Sexual relations include literally any relationship that has romantic/sexual aspects (ex: hookups, long term/serious romantic/sexual relationships, flings, some QPRs, ...)

yall i may just be super aroace but im on a team that has competition feb 14 and my teammates are so upset at the timing and i just dont get it

[mintaikkcorpse]

Me reading a fic where the person had an identidy realization that they were in he aroace spectrum and now they were figuring themselves out(I finally found something that understood me and a romance I could relate to after all these years)

Writing smut for an ace character is actually so interesting because you’re forced to rely on the emotional connection, the power dynamics, the intellectual connection. Like no, bro is not getting off from the sights or sounds or sensations- he’s not getting off at all. He’s mentally enjoying the show of trust, the vulnerability. He’s enjoying making his partner feel so good, he’s enjoying the rawness between them, with all the walls down, all the barriers broken.

Idk, I just think it’s neat.

[moominvalley-state-of-mind]

Okay it’s like midnight but is it a nurodivergent or aroace thing to be like why is *insert action* romantic/sexual

Edit: okay so this was poorly written cause it was super fuckin early and i wanted to clear sum stuff up + I have no clue how to like idfk pin a rebog or smth anyways

I know I'm autistic, so im just wondering if this is something that i should expect from having ASD or if it could ALSO be a sign that I could be aroace

Yeah thx :]

[darwuzhere]

I don't care what the hell are you doing, if your favourite is a silly guy that's more fucked up than they show they are then they're automatically somewhere in the aro/ace spectrum, no cap.

[triptychofvoids]

hiiii doctorrrr :3

its me again and i dint really have a question i just wanna say YAY!!!!! cause im also aroace and it makes me super happy seeing an aroace person in a relationship cause some folk seem to think aromanticism/asexuality is a strict monolith (or something like that) when its a huge spectrum

anyways yeah have a great day doc [ALSO I HOPE YOU DONT MIND ME SPAM-LIKING!!! WHOOPS…]

aha yes, unfortunately being aroace is something that tends to be very heavily stereotyped in many cases. not that other identities dont have stereotypes of course, they do, but i do think both asexuality and aromanticism can be very unknown and misunderstood to a lot of people (among other things, even within the aroace community itself in some specific cases) which also often leads to a lot of generalization about what these things are and what they can mean for each person.

regardless, all of that said, yes i am aroace and very happily in a relationship! even though that is not something every aro and/or ace person will want or even entertain the idea of, it is something that is possible!

[neptune-scythe]

The aroace urge to somehow make sure every fucking person knows that I'm aroace so they don't flirt with me or think that I'm flirting with them or try to date me or any of that

Legitimately worried every day my co workers are going to get the WORNG impression

[dear-angel-lacy]

just an asexual lesbian waiting for the day someone asks for my romantic orientation alongside my sexuality 😔
