"love is love" until it doesn't include sex

"love is love" until it lives in separate beds

"love is love" until it is queer platonic

"love is love" until it does not comply with compulsory sexuality and amatonormativity

love IS love, for aspecs, for sex sepulsed folk and for platonic relationships

"love is love" apply to more than same-sex relationships in a world where romantic and sexual relationships are considered more valuable

Remember to advocate for Asexuals and Aromantics this pride. Because we are also here, and we are also queer

Just a friendly reminder to destroy all acephobes on sight.

"Love and sex make us human"

Wrong. Most animals fuck. Some reproduce without a partner. Then there are some that can choose not to fuck (like those that remain in their pride or family and forfeit the right to mate in exchange for safety).

Definitely a lot of them love. In their own way or even our way. Like... so many birds mate for life. Humans only wish for that marriage success rate...

Love and sex don't make us human. The absence of them doesn't make us human.

You know what makes us human?

COOKING.

Humans are the only creatures in existence to cook their food. To have a culinary culture. To purposefully change the molecular structure of their sustenance for fun, art, and pleasure.

So, in a way, at the root of it, is pizza over sex and romance.

Pizza makes us human.

Allo peeps need to understand being aromantic isn't just "Ewww, romance". It's "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond, regardless of where that would lead me." Platonically, of course."

(But please keep in mind that for some it IS "Ewww, romance" And they don't need to be treated like they're not a part of this community, btw. This is an objective fact, btw. Aros are awesome, btw)

I’d like to make a request of the aro and ace communities on Tumblr.

This pride month, can we find a way to push back against reductive stereotypes without making other aro and ace people feel excluded?

Can we push back against the idea that “aces are prudes” and “aros are heartless” in a way that acknowledges and respects sex-repulsed, romance-repulsed and loveless people?

Can we push back against people who use “aro/ace people can still date/have sex” as an excuse to erase us without erasing the aro, ace and a-spectrum people who do enjoy sexual or romantic relationships/activities in some form?

Can we talk about the differing experiences of aros who aren’t ace, aces who aren’t aro, and aroaces (as well as all the nuanced identities that don’t fit neatly into those categories), while maintaining solidarity under our a-spectrum umbrella?

I’d like that.

Aroace!!

Do you like the idea of KMK/FMK but you always choose kill because you don't like the idea of marrying or kissing/fucking anyone?

Then this is the place for you!

Originally inspired by the wonderful folks over at @aroacesafeplaceforall, this game is essentially the aroacespec version of FMK!

Rules of the game: Decide whether you would rather friend, myth, or kill the given individual.

Friend: befriend them Myth: mythologize them/worship them/they can't kill me if they aren't real Kill: kill them

Tagging

All Friend, Myth, Kill polls are tagged with #friend myth kill Things that aren't related to Friend, Myth, Kill are tagged with #not friend myth kill All polls are tagged with #poll All non-polls are tagged with #not poll

You can nominate individuals via asks, I will add them to the queue and try to pace it out (lots of asks at once -> more polls in one day, not many asks -> fewer polls) Polls may not be posted in the order requested. I will fill gaps with characters from my various fandoms so enjoy that ig

Rules for nominations: Please don't be weird. I will discard any asks I want to, and I will update rules if necessary. Mod: call me Q 21 | she/her | aroace

[ineffable-ezra]

Great news: I beat up an acephobe today and threw him in the gutter afterwards.

Bad news: I got fined for littering.

[genderobjectimpermanence]

What kind of hurts is that I feel like aroace people are being discouraged from using both tags rn. I'm pretty hesitant to post this because I don't want it to be harmful to aroallo people who are fighting to be recognized. But I've had a few experiences where people dislike that there are both tags when acespecs talk about their sexual preferences. But the person posting could be aromantic. Aro people should be able to talk about how much they love sex, or how much they hate it. Some peoples' identities regarding romance and sex are interconnected, and I feel they should be able to express that in the tags. Please be careful when criticizing those expressing their aromanticism and asexuality.

So, we're ten days into pride month. Things are a bit confusing for me right now. I’m trying to figure out what I want, or what I need.

I know that I’m aromantic, but…

I want companionship. I want commitment.

I want to kiss someone. I want to make out with someone.

I want to cuddle and watch a movie with someone.

I want to spoil someone. I want to be spoiled.

I want to love someone. I want to be loved.

I want emotional intimacy. I want physical intimacy.

I want these things with multiple people.

I don’t see any of that as inherently romantic… Maybe it would be easier if I did? Something about that feels wrong, somehow. Why do I have to slap a romantic label on it by default, when I know that none of these things need to be confined to romance?

People aren’t usually committed to you unless you’re their partner. I’d like to have a few partners. Do I want that to be romantic, though? I mean, I know that I don’t want it to be romantic, because I don't want anything to be romantic. But, am I opposed to it?

I don’t know. I can’t tell.

Most people would call these feelings romantic. Why does it feel so much more complicated to me? Why do I have this weird disconnect?

Sometimes I feel like it would be easier if I just tossed out the aromantic part of who I am. Just being bisexual would make things so simple. But I don't think I can just flip a switch like that. Can I?

Do other people feel this way?

Is it just me?

[fnafs-ex-boyfriend]

Fandom bitches be like “we love lgbtq!!” until:

- Gay ships dare to be femme for femme/masc for masc

- Someone headcanons a popular character as transgender

- Aspecs ask for basic respect in fandom spaces

- God forbid m/f ships exist (never mind the fact that they could be bi for bi or maybe even STRAIGHT? WHAT?)
