More stories from the Being Ace anthology!

[aroacespaces]

My thoughts on the different stories within the first half of the Being Ace anthology!

[aroacespaces]

can’t stop thinking about this one time I was explaining to someone how I don’t feel sexual attraction and they were so perplexed as to how I knew that without having sex. like, I know being asexual does not equate to being afraid of sex for the entirety of its definition, but do you make someone who’s afraid of heights jump out of a plane? someone who’s afraid of the ocean go deep-sea diving? lock someone who’s afraid of the dark inside of a room with no lights? no, because you do not have to prove your fears to people, since they inadvertently understand its core nature without forcing it to be justified.

being asexual is an intrinsic understanding. it is human. I just wish other people would take the time to understand that.

Just a reminder that you are seen and loved. And if you don't feel like that, please drop us a DM.💜

"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 repulsed 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

People said that Tumblr isn't a great place to post original art that isn't fanart, but I'm doing it anyway because I haven't got the motivation to draw anything else

Happy pride month lads! 🧡💛🤍💙

If you're asexual and not aromantic, cool. You're loved and valid.

If you're aromantic and not asexual, awesome. You're loved and valid.

If you're asexual and not sex repulsed, nice. You're loved and valid.

If you're aromantic and want to be in a romantic relationship, hell yeah. You're loved and valid.

Asexuality and Aromanticity are spectrums, with many terms in between that may fit, may not. But you're still loved and valid all the same.

Sometimes the Lgbtqia+ community doesn't accept us, sometimes our own community feels unsafe, but I promise you, you are loved and valid and accepted just as you are and however you feel comfortable identifying.

happy wednesday to all my fellow aroace folks

[aroacespaces]

Today we take a look at a book I've just finished, Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee, and discuss the highs and lows of the asexual representation in this story.

I'm back with another post highlighting the great a-spec undertones of Marie Brennan's A Natural History of Dragons. Have you read the book, or others in the series? How do you see Isabella?

My first post about one of my favourite TV characters, Sarah Jane Smith, discussing how she can be read as aromantic and asexual.
