#im aro and ace and aroace

[stardustdiver]

aroace hate in the ace tag (aro poster), very cool very awesome, love that for you bud, have a wonderful day

this exact behaviour is what drove me away from r/aaaaaaaarrrrro and then r/aaaaaaacccccccce, very nice to see it persist onto tumblr dot com

all this behaviour does is splits up the community, we should be connected and together, not infighting bc aroallos and alloaces and aroaces exist, what does aspec mean, remind me?

edit: we defeated the evil

Im sorry but being aromantic and/or asexual is such a beautiful, complex identity that opens up almost endless possibilities and interpretations about sex and romance and relationships and struggles within those,

and i will always absolutely LOATHE how both the outside and the aro/ace community itself have boiled these identities down to just "doesnt have sex" and "doesnt date"

I love Tumblr because there are so many aro, ace and aroace people in here. It's like going to a supermarket and seeing a bunch of strangers buying the thing that only you enjoy out of everyone in the town you live in. And everyone buying it enjoys it too and it's so, so cool and it makes me really happy every time I see people with the aro, ace and aroace in their description

[thetisming]

the aspec experience of going 'but am i actually aspec?' and then seeing an allo and being like 'oh. okay. yeah i am. what the fuck'

Accept and support repulsed people or die by my blade

im so tired of people saying aphobic things all over the place and then acting like they have no fucking clue how it's aphobic

and i'm tired of the hypocrisy. it's always "be with the person you LOVE, your feelings have to be GENUINE" until you don't love anyone, then it doesn't matter if you dont have genuine feelings for anyone. they all want you to fake it and be fucking normal!!! it's always "well aros can still date!! aces can still have sex!!! aroace can still have relationships!!" YEAH, SOME OF US CAN, BUT DONT YOU THINK ITS A LITTLE WEIRD HOW YOU EXPECT US TO DO THOSE THINGS, WITHOUT FEELING ANYTHING FOR THEM, WHEN YOU NORMALLY DONT DO THAT TO OTHER PEOPLE? WHY IS IT SO INSTANTLY ACCEPTABLE ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO ASPECS? WHY DO YOU ACT AS IF THATS NOT ASKING US TO FAKE WHO WE ARE?

Haii!! Do you have any images of your ink sans with an aro flag? :]

I dont see enough art of ink with aro/ace flags and it makes me sadge. We Aros barely ever get merch or drawings of our flag </3 :

Been saving this one for pride month :)

You're right, Aro/Aces need more rep, so here's Ink supporting some Aro sepc and Ace spec identities ^^

And have an empty version for whatever flag yall want Ink to hold ^^

Flags and definitions in order are

Aromantic: Feels little to no romantic attraction

Acesexual: Feels little to no sexual attraction

Aroace: Feels little to no romance and sexual attraction

Lithromantic: someone who can experience romantic attraction but does not want it to be reciprocated or loses attraction when it is

Demisexual: Only feel sexual attraction after forming a close emotional bond with someone

Cupioromantic: Someone doesn't feel romantic attraction but desires to be in a romantic relationship

Abrosexual: Sexuality is changing or fluid (sexual fluidity)

Aroflux: Fluctuating attraction/ shifting between various aro-sepc identities

Fraysexual: Sexual attraction to strangers /attraction fades after forming a stronger bond with someone

These are just brief definitions, but I still highly encourage doing your own research on these if you are interested in learning and understanding them more. If i made any mistakes please lmk and I'll fix it ^^

Anyways, happy pride and all of you are valid <333

By the way I love being aromantic. Whenever I try finding aro positivity I feel like instead I only find posts about how miserable it is to be erased, I havent seen nearly enough actual aromantic pride this month so Im saying myself: Aromanticism is a beautiful thing and I am a better and more rounded person for being aro!! People don't think you can be happy to be aro, or otherwise make it seem like you can only be happy in spite of being aro but that is a LIE to keep you down!!! Embracing aromanticism, finding community with other aros and aces, and rejecting anatonormativity have all been foundational to becoming who I am today and I literally wouldn't trade it for the world.

Fuck the societal structures pressuring us to have partners, telling us that humans have to feel romantic love to be happy, telling us that platonic love is lesser, fuck them all and fuck the world!! I am so happy exactly the way I am.💚🤍🖤

This Barbie is AroAce!

[thisnerdjason]

'oh wow these aromantic and asexual identities are cool, I should research them to learn how to best support this community, but I'm definitely not aromantic or asexual!'

I'm a fucking dumbass, that's what I am.

[cloverlyartist]

Every day my relationship with the word “love” and what it means gets more complex and more impossible to explain to the rest of you people

Like yeah dude im in love with someone. Not like that though. Not like the other way either. You wouldn’t understand

[confused-spood]

so I think I fucked up my food yesterday and told my friend which resulted in a funny conversation happened and here is an artistic rendition

not to mention any attraction I have is only to women and fictional men, and am trans so I mean technically agender but I like the term too

[stiffyck]

I WISH ARO HEADCANONS WERE MORE POPULAR IN FANDOMS

[surfthestardust]
