Black Aro Culture is being on edge with your male friends because you're hoping and praying that things stay platonic 🥲

autistic folks when their routine gets disrupted, and they don't get alone time when they're supposed to get alone time

Happy pride Black aros! Remember that all you need to do is exist, be yourself unapologetically, simply that helps in changing our world. Be regular, be flashy! Be social, be alone! Have amazing sex, be proud in your sexual aversion! Pride is not just a time of advocacy but self discovery, acceptance and joy. Be proud and love your culture down, know you’re not alone. Black aromanticism is so necessary, and all you need to do is be you.

Day 2 of Aroallo pride art! (I don't plan to post a piece everyday but we'll see just how many I can pop out)

TOPH! With a bonus disability pride flag! So so important to me that these flags be allowed to go next to eachother sometimes.

I have no explanation for this one asides from "Have you met her?" LMAO Canon in my heart

unfortunate news being aroace does not give you immunity against yearning . sorry. i know . i was disappointed to learn it too

“Always the bridesmaid and never the bride” is like the worst insult

You mean I have so many friends who love and trust me enough to be a bridesmaid in multiple different weddings? You mean I don’t have to get married? This is the dream.

"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff

[maepersonal]

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

[maepersonal]

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

[maepersonal]

for every person who ships aro/ace coded/canon characters I will headcanon said characters as completely romance and sex repulsed. Y'know, to restore balance to the force.

[maepersonal]

"oh i don't think i'm gonna ever get married or really ever have a relationship"

"oh don't worry, you'll find the right person for you"

babes i'm not worried. do i look worried? i'm not worried. i don't need to find the "right person" to be happy. i don't base my happiness on whether i'll have a romantic relationship or not. maybe i will, maybe i won't, but i will be able to have a fulfilled life without forcing myself to worry about finding the "right person".

we should normalize tagging x reader fics as just "#x reader" that way my aromantic ass doesn't have to block fifty thousand tags for each fandom I'm in

[maepersonal]

sick of the only close relationship explanation that's seen as valid being romantic. Like, I look at my friends like that!! I would do that for my friends!! Normalize the concept of ships expanding to include platonic and queerplatonic feelings. Like, I love the idea of those characters together, but romantically? sexually? Not necessarily.

How it feels to be in the fandom of a show about friendship :

[maepersonal]

anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.

im doomed by the narrative but the narrative is a bunch of conscious choices i've made in the past
