No idea why this didn't occur to me before but

Can you be a romance-favourable aromantic the way you can be sex-favourable asexual?

Because that would actually explain So Much

[cashmoneychiyo]

Fandom is not on your side, I’m afraid

[mr-weirdo-mcgee]

Do you ever ship something but people immediately think you want to see drawings of them kissing, like no you silly goose, they don't kiss, they just HAD a "crush" on each other while being business partners and now they hate each other, but like halfy one sided hate, don't you get it? Not too much smooching, no sex cause why would a demonic triangle want that? /Hj

Smth I REALLY wanna say about scarlet and violet though. Epic ship/polycule headcanons aside, I think it's REALLY visible just how much gamefreak are improving at writing realistic and fleshed out friendships between characters, with actual depth and soul to them. These aren't just random npcs who the game outright has to have a professor tell you 'this is your friend!' and who you have a few nice conversations with while you occasionally battle and compare your dexes. They're much more realistic to what friendships are.

These are characters you get to know, aid the arcs of, visit for idle chitchat, witness bickering and working that out and being silly and overall? It's just like yeah. That's a real friend group right there. While there's SOME characters in older pokemon games they've kinda achieved this with, they did it for so many in sv in a way that's truly charming.

the more i think about it the more i think au joelious might be aromantic

[wannabe-me-again]

It's finally happened. Today somebody told me that being aroace is just a phase and that I shouldn't take it seriously.

Guys, we've made it. I'm now officially aroace™. Put the trademark on my ass. I'm living the dream. For some reason I feel so validated in my aroace-ness, like it's finally become real because somebody said it's not real, you know? I'm honestly just happy to be included lol

[chemicalarospec]

I've been finding boys cute a lot lately and I love it -- because now I'm a straight girl, what the haters I'd turn out to be all along -- except I'm still very queer because I'm also a boy and I'm still ace-arospec. The straight girl/gay man/aroace androgyne life is awesome 🔥🔥

[byfulcrums]

Why are women so much prettier than men. Like it might be the lesbian in me but I genuinely feel more attracted to women than I do with men. I just don't find them good looking. They have to have some very specific appearance for me to like them (physically)

And in TV I always feel more drawn to women. When I see a drawing of a femenine character I always go “oh wow, she's really pretty!” and then get disappointed when I find out it's actually a man?? Like I still find him pretty, but the fact that it's a man just makes them less appealing to me

A male character needs to have a very good character arc (and, IRL, they need to have an extremely likeable personality) for me to have a ‘fictional crush’ on him. Meanwhile, all a girl needs to do is have a cool design

[doyouknowwhoyouare13]

me when I said when I went back to school this year I wouldn't crush on yellow crocs because it would never happen and then I saw him in all his glory and I'm head over heels again

[kanameows]

hmm

[the-acid-pear]

Is the ED fandom currently in a crisis state why is my post getting notes? My posts never got notes when I spoke of ED b4. Is the fandom just bigger now? It scares me.

[acewhowantsspace]

Y'know what screw it

300 notes and I'll come out as aroace to my parents

UPDATE:

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!

Told them! It went well! I'm shaking and my hearts going nuts still and I'm so fucking happy omg I was sweating bullets all day

HOLY SHIT

Hit them with a double whammy, came out as nonbinary at the same time (only said they/them for my pronouns)

AHHHHHH

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰🥰

So recently on Discord I've been hearing about posts on Tumblr not only shipping Alastor with other characters (which is, y'know, weird but not unheard of. It's been happening since the pilot's release) but still tagging their fics/posts "aroace" or "aroace Alastor" whatever.

People will either write an Alastor x Reader romance or a RadioApple romance work and they'll still tag it stuff like "Aroace" just so it could get more clicks.

Seriously guys, please don't do that. If you're so desperate and insistent on romantically shipping Alastor with another character, fine go ahead. I may not agree with it, but I can't stop you.

But please don't clog the aroace tag just so more people could see it. It's just not cool imo.
