How are people still in the year 2025 confused as to how aro and/or ace people are happy/what makes them happy?

I'm not an alien.

Are romantic and sexual attraction really the only things that make you happy? Discuss that with a therapist, not ace and aro people.

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

When will people realize that aroace people may not crave sexual and romantic relationships, but they can and probably will be lonely and want to find comfort in having friends and hugging/cuddling them.

I saw a post saying that they had a friend that "claims to be ace, but wants to cuddle with me when we watch movies" and that they "think they might have a crush on me" LOCK IN!!!! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROMANTIC/SEXUAL/PLATONIC AFFECTION!!

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

I want to live in a world where aromantic people and asexual people don’t have to lie to our doctors and therapists about our orientations to avoid them attempting to “fix” us, find an “underlying cause” for who we are, or take us off necessary medications like antidepressants just in case they’re “suppressing our emotions”. I want to live in a world where openly experiencing a lack of romantic and/or sexual attraction is not a barrier to receiving adequate healthcare.

This part of the latest TBS episode was so relatable.  (also, please let Chloe be happy, thank you)

Happy Ace Week!

I'm Minerva Cerridwen, genderfluid aro ace author of fairy tale novella The Dragon of Ynys, which has an aro ace main character!

I've also written short stories including aro ace story "Match Sticks" in Unburied Fables, and recently "Good-Natured Anxiety for the Queer Creature" in Queens in Wonderland, and "The Space Between Stitches" in The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters.

Some of my own favourite books with ace rep include:

Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger

Be the Sea by Clara Ward

Havesskadi by @avakellyfiction

Alia Terra: Stories from the Dragon Realm, also by Ava Kelly, and illustrated by @mspencerdraws

Gender Queer: A Memoir by @redgoldsparks

What are your favourite ace books?

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

I've reached the point in my asexuality discovery where I've stopped asking what's wrong with me and started asking what's wrong with y'all.

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

As much as I enjoyed the slightly more gradual buildup to the PresAux crew and Murderbot actually trusting each other in the show, I hope that when Season 2 drops they don’t keep the energy for ART.

ART and Murderbot’s friendship is built on them speedrunning the weirdest fucking relationship stages you can imagine. You can’t make their development slower. I need to see ART going “I know we’ve known each other for a week but you should let me perform surgery on you :)”

this is everyone's friendly reminder that yelena belova is canonically aro/ace in the mcu based on an interview w her writers !!

please stop being gross, thanks 😇

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

Happy Pride everyone!

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

the thing is, i KNOW yelena is ace because of how she’s being treated rn. she’s getting the core experience of an ace person: every nice/kind thing you do for someone somehow gets twisted into “oh they’re definitely in love.”
