tumblr is probably gonna destroy the quality, but here’s a quick little comic i came up with last night! an asexual child of aphrodite asks for some guidance from her mom. 

(small edit: after a couple of comments, i want to add that i wrote this as a reflection of my own experiences of being on the asexual spectrum and dealing with the self-doubt of growing up in a highly sexualized society - it’s not meant to be a generalization of all aro/ace people or me trying to speak for anyone)

(ACE EXCLUSIONISTS DO NOT INTERACT, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU)

my writing is a little bit illegible, so there’s a visual description with text under the cut:

Don't know if it has been done before but here it is

I fucking adore being ace. its a key part of who i am and no allo person has a view of the world the same as i do. it has changed my perception of the world in a way nothing else can and i am more powerful for it. and this is true of every other asexual and/or aromantic person. your experiences with life and love are unique to you and im so proud of you.

(Image description 2: a sheet of grid paper taped to a white background with pink dried flowers, scrapbook style, on the grid paper is cursive font that reads "Queerplatonic love is good love." Below is smaller text that reads "Happy QPR Day!")

i think the hardest thing abt being aro (or ace) is that it's so passive. it's the Lack of something. there is nothing to take pride in, no moment to attach euphoria to, no activity where you can say 'i get to experience this because i am aromantic'. it makes it hard to celebrate and come to terms with, and it makes it hard to tell interesting and empowering narratives in the same way you would with other minority groups. there's nothing to Represent you. it's just nothingness.

Three Essays by Black Asexual Women

“Romance Is Not the Only Type of Black Love that Matters” by Sherronda J. Brown

“The bonds that Black womxn share amongst ourselves are unlike any other. It is with Black womxn that I am able to be completely and unapologetically myself. It is with Black womxn that I have been able to foster a sisterhood, kinship, and camaraderie that fulfills me and will never let me be alone.”

“As a Black Woman, Celebrating Pride This Year Has Been Hard” by Yasmin Benoit

“Now is the time to remember that queer culture wouldn’t exist without Black culture and Stonewall wouldn’t have happened without Black trans women. Even if none of that were true, it wouldn’t make our struggle any less significant to the LGBTQ+ community. All Black Lives Matter, no ifs, no buts, no justification. That includes Black trans lives, Black gay lives, Black bisexual lives, Black asexual lives, Black non-binary lives. That’s what I’m going to make some noise about, and you should too.“

“The Hardships of Being an Asexual Woman of Color” by Kimberly Steele

“I feel like growing up as a black cis female, I wasn’t given many choices with any kind of way to have a healthy relationship with sexuality. It’s almost like everyone, no matter what race they were or what religion they followed, was raised to view sex and sexual situations the same. That method didn’t work for a great number of people of color, and I feel like my relationship with sex (well, lack of a relationship to it) is part of that.”
