Throwback to the time I commented ‘I’m aro/ace’ under a YT video and all the comments on my comment were ‘those pronouns are fake. You damn liberals’ or something like that.

Reblog if your pronouns are also aroace

Edit: To all the people saying ‘I’m not sure if I can reblog this’ feel free to reblog if you support aroace people. You don’t have to be one!

brushing your hair, aroace style. holding your hand, aroace style. leaning on you, aroace style. laughing with you, aroace style. cuddling while going to sleep, aroace style. braiding your hair, aroace style. dinner together, aroace style. long hugs, aroace style. inside jokes, aroace style. "babe, love, dear," aroace style. making fun of things together, aroace style. giggling at three am, aroace style. driving to see you, or you see me, aroace style. meeting each other's friends, aroace style. meeting important people in your life, aroace style. dropping off a coffee while at work, aroace style. opening the car door for you, aroace style. comforting hand on knees, shoulders, head, back, aroace style. sleepy drives, aroace style. "I have ibuprofen," aroace style. "don't forget your meds," aroace style.

platonic swag, if you will.

Just in case it’s not abundantly clear where I stand- fuck JK Rowling, and ace/aro people, you are so SO valid and loved.

People who don’t like certain identities a pride are so funny.

Imagine going to a circus and asking why one of the clowns are there.

Im honking my nose and doing a wierd dance for a reason ! >:(

We should 100% normalize saying "I love you" to friends in a platonic, non romantic way. Yes, I love my bestie with all my heart. Does that mean I want to do stuff that you'd normally find in a ao3 stuff with the tag "AJAOFHEIS SMUT" in it? NO!

I WANNA CUDDLE IN A BLANKET FORT WHILE BINGE WATCHING THE OWL HOUSE, NOT MAKE OUT!

Just cuz someone loves someone who isn't related by blood, doesn't mean that it's romantic

Annnnnd I went off on a tangent :/

I love how everyone simultaneously agrees that Baby from the Saja Boys is aroace and he isn’t shipped with anyone.

I also love the hc on how he’s most definitely the third wheel for Zoeystery lol.

gotta be honest, i hate the whole oppression contest between romance-favorable and romance-averse aromantics that’s going on right now. both of those groups are pressured to act like the other. you know why? because people just don’t like us being aromantic. that’s it. nobody’s more privileged than the other, at least not in this context.

if you’re alright with being in relationships, then you’re told you’re not really aromantic. the goal is to make you doubt you’re aromantic.

if you don’t want to be in relationships, then you’re told that aromantics can date, so you should! the goal is to make you more palatable, to make you romance-favorable so then, they can gaslight you into thinking you’re not actually aromantic. or they just straight up call you heartless (shoutout heartless aros, love you guys <2) and/or inhuman, but thats just their true colors showing. they think that of all aros.

and the aromantic people who says shit like that? they’re trying to throw the group they’re not part of under the bus to make themselves either more palatable or less ‘confusing’. they’re scared.

nobody’s winning here. let’s all just shut the fuck up for a second and recognize that these people just don’t want us to be aromantic. that’s it. doesn’t matter if you’re romance-averse, romance-favorable or anything else. they just want us to conform. and if you’re accusing the other side of being responsible for your oppression, you’re playing right into their game.

Fuck romance, embrace garlic bread.

I made a list of all a-spec rep all over the media

Ok, that's an exaggeration.

Its me, im back (i never left)

So a loooong while back, i was wondering "wow man, media is just oozing with romance, ain't it" and that made me think of all the media that isn’t oozing with romance. And i decided that someone should make a list of all the aspec rep in a handy resource for the aros and the aces. Since the orientation gets ignored soo often.

And now that i finally got the time, i made the list!

Its an in progress, non exhaustive list. Comments are on for suggestions/additions/corrections. The kind reddit community has already been suggesting soo many things i didnt know had rep. Feel free to use the resource AND please pass it on to whoever might need it.

Representation is important and every community deserves to have it 🏳️‍🌈

Theres so much japanese media here its crazy though

Pride Mezuzahs

If I forgot your flag, tell me. Happy pride to the Jews in my phone.

[thecommunalfoolboy]

Why can’t we have a campy musical about an aroace person figuring out what they are, complete with a running gag where they constantly almost throw up when sex is mentioned

[its-kayyyy]

You are valid (:
