Shipping as an Ace/Aro/Aroace with aesthetic attraction

Whether you are aesthetically attracted (finding a gender or genders) very good looking or beautiful or handsome, it is acceptable to write a character who is attracted to someone on a non romantic/sexual level but not fully platonic.

You can write a pan ace, a straight aro, a bi demi aroace, an omni aroace, a lesbian aegoace, a gay grey-aro, etc.

There are no rules, follow your heart.

My friend was nuked

My qpr partner was nuked

One of them was able to get their account back

One was transmasc, one was a cis aroace person.

Tumblr doesn't care what shade of queer you are, they dislike you all the same.

Fuck staff, stay queer

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

I've seen a lot of stuff going down on tumblr and I just wanted to let you all know that all aromantic, asexual, and aroace people are valid members of the LBGTQIA+ community. It doesn't matter if they are cishet or not.

Oh no, you found a post where someone is saying they think sex/romance is gross! Whatever shall you do?

ignore it. literally ignore it. I'm 100% serious just fucking ignore it. it literally is not a personal attack on you. do not take it as a personal attack. scroll past it, hell block if you really need to, but you do not need to respond. it is not about you buddy - not everything is about you. close your eyes and move on buddy it's that easy. literally it is not systematically oppressing you for someone to say "Ew sex" or "Ew romance". just walk away pal.

if you support aspecs but you think microlabels are "weird" or "niche" then you don't actually support aspecs 👍 hope this helps!

I found this on Pinterest and I shared it because I support ace and aro folks.

Shoutout to mean aros. Aros that are a hard pill to swallow. Aros that aren't palatable. Aros that are angry, cold, and distant. Aros that don't want to be "good representation". Aros that don't love and don't care what's said about it. Aros that do love and don't care who understands it. Aros that don't sit right with alloromos. Aros that want to be left alone and don't want to talk. Aros that are loud and opinionated and refuse to shut up. Aros that are bitter. Aros that don't want to answer questions about their labels. You shouldn't need to be warm and approachable to earn respect for your aromanticism and avoid harassment from arophobes.

did you guys know that you can actually support aroallo people WITHOUT talking about asexuality and asexuals. did you guys know that you can actually do that. you can actually stand in solidarity with us without saying "and also asexuals"

[aroaceaid]

Aces and/or Aros who feel repulsed by and

Sometimes for some aces and aros who are repulsed by intimacy and/or romance gets worse. Like you get more repulsed as time goes on.

Don’t be ashamed about it, be proud

aro culture is getting really annoyed with the relationships unit in your sociology class because the whole thing is just 100% amatonormativity.

:\

if think your teacher, professor, and/or TAs might be interested in discussing the concept, I have some idea of bringing up the topic?

I'd personally say something like, "Hi, During our section in sociology around relationships, I couldn't help but think it would be interesting to discuss how a sociological theory called "amatonormativity" might relate to these lessons. I gathered a few sources from the professor who coined it, a thesis written on it, and a law review written about the connection between it and laws in the USA. There's some connections between its use in feminist thought and in queer theories, and I'd love to know your thoughts about it. I personally was thinking of when [specific statement] was said, and how I would apply this theory. I hope it's as interesting to you as it is to me."

Sex isn't just for relationships

Sex is not "purer" just because it is done between those in a long-term relationship

[styrofauxm]

Yeah you support aro people but do you listen to aro people when we tell you something you like doing hurts us?
