playing truth or dare with abstinent aroaces is like "so uh. when was the last time you nearly died"

aromantic new year everyone

[aromanticofficial]

I’m aroace and was just browsing the aroace tag when I came across a few exclusionist posts & now I’m feeling… idk. Weird, I guess.

Am I welcome on this blog, even though I’m also ace? I’ve been reblogging posts from here because I recently realized I was aro and wanted to engage with & explore that side of my identity, but if as many aro people as they indicated don’t want aroace people around in their aro spaces, would it be better to just… leave the aromantic tag and blogs altogether? I don’t want to take away from people who are aroallo. I’ve seen it done time and again and don’t want to be some kind of… invasive species or something.

(sorry this was so long and rambly.)

anon. I am holding your face so gently. you belong in aro spaces. don't let exclusionists tell you otherwise. your experience is unique and valuable and there is not a single romantic, sexual, or gender orientation that takes that away. I promise that every aro is welcome on aromanticofficial because this is a space for every aro on the arospec.

Ik being an aro adult can suck but as a high schooler im having the time of my life. my friends are panicking over crushes and im giggling and kicking my feet at fish facts and if anyone brings up dating I can just go “im too young” and it’s a valid answer.

hell yeah bro that's what it's all about

[aromanticofficial]

Each time I hear "but aro people can date!!!!" I lose more and more blood vessels because YEAH they can but A. Majority of those times those relationships are fundementally different from allo ones and aren't just 1 - 1, and B. a good majority don't!!!!!! Like that is a minority!!!!!!! Aromanticism is a spectrum and not everyone falls hard on the side that includes dating and I'm just. I'm so tired of but they can still date being constantly brought up because it feels less like it's trying to raise awareness for the aros that can and more like you're just undermining the fact that I don't ..

you're right and more people should realize it

[aromanticofficial]

I love being in a aroace4aroace relationship. Cuz we aren’t dating. We are just an old married couple who lovingly bullies each other for a living and sometimes we also cuddle. The one with the most shiny pokémon cards is the one allowed to watch the TV. Which is always me. I win

goals tbh

If you don't feel interested in romance, don't often have crushes, or dislike the idea of romance in general, I have news for you: Rare Sierra Nevada Red Fox Spotted In Southern Sierra Area For First Time In Nearly A Century

[aromanticofficial]

can a minor identify as aroallo or is that wrong

no, nobody feels sexual attraction until the arbitrary age at which their government decides a citizen is old enough to make their own medical and financial decisions

[aromanticofficial]

I'm aromantic in this freaking annoying way where I'm capable of feeling very mild romantic attraction from March through to July. It sounds so fake it pisses me off, and also it's bizarre because that's winter in my country so it's not like I'm looking for a summer romance here. And I'm lucky that it's mild and also that nobody wants to kiss me, because otherwise how could I explain to someone that I'll be out of love with them by August? It's nuts and it's irritating and I'm wondering if anyone feels something similar, or if I'm just stuck with my weird autumn/early winter Longing For Something forever

the romantic attraction type of seasonal affective disorder

[aromanticofficial]

I'm so tired of people saying characters have no interest in romance then saying they're asexual. Aros exist please stop erasing us!

for real!

happy aro week. everything hurts

[aromanticofficial]

hii just sending some positivity if anyone needs it; about three years ago (mb 4 idk) me and another aro guy i met got an apartment together and its been great. no romance no pressure for romance nothing.

we’re not in a qpr we’re just friends who live together and neither of us are interested in being together or with anyone else and we’re very happy with our situation and its unlikely to ever change. several years ago i was hopeless thinking i could never be happy without romance but im the happiest ive ever been and im comfortable with who i am and where i am.

i could live my whole life like this and i wouldnt change w thing :) we’re happy and comfortable.

so uh. you guys can do it. its possible. you dont have to date anyone you dont need a qpr you can just be yourself. and sometimes it just kinda works out and three years later you realize you’re where you wanna be.

being aro to me is to be happy 💚 good luck everyone ily

some aro positivity for any and all who need something to be happy about

diversity win! this sad ant with bindle is aromantic!
