Local aroace fucks around and finds out

[missaromantic]

Folks I know it's so ridiculously stupid it's just one line but...

The fact that Rosie fully confirms that Alastor is Ace OUT LOUD is something so special to me. Like I know is was already confirmed he's ace but this is one of the very first shows where they actually say it out loud without just discreetly implying it.

It's just that most of the time, even if the character is canonically ace, it's only included by the director outside of show contexts where only people who interact with outside content will actually see it. With hazbin hotel, any viewer of the show will have Alastor's asexuality thrown in their face and they will have no choice but to see it. Maybe it's my fragile little aroace heart but god representation really does matter

AROACE ALASTOR FOR THE SOOOULLLLL 💚💜

[missaromantic]

As an aroace musician I wanna say that I 100% approve of Alastor bursting into song with all of his rivals.

Is he flirting?? Is he playing hard to get?? Or is he such a theatre kid that this is the only way he can really express his feelings that still lowkey give off homoerotic vibes?? because same my guy same

Vox gives off ‘divorced and still holding a grudge that’s possibly a flame??’ And Lucifer is ‘fighting over custody with this guy that came into my daughters life and oh no he’s kinda hot’

Seeing all the arospec and acespec positivity makes me so happy

Don't be afraid to be:

ASEXUAL 🖤🩶🤍💜

AROMANTIC 💚🤍🩶🖤

AROACE 🧡💛🤍🩵💙

OR JUST BEING ON THE AROSPEC, ACESPEC OR AROACESPEC

BE PROUD !!! ☆

Aro rep in my books:

Take Me to Your Nerdy Leader (Bowden Anime Club): main character Paige is alloaro. A coming of age YA novel about friends, first times, anime, finding your confidence, and art.

Strange Worlds (Jensen in the Multiverse): The main character is aroace. He vaguely thinks about it in book 1 (where he learns about the identity) and confirms it in book 2. There’s other aro and ace characters. A portal fantasy: Jensen used to be a thief. Now he’s on a quest to save the multiverse from the evil Overlord.

Ancient Magic (Gray Stone Witches): Side character turned main character, Rachel, is alloaro and bisexual. This is confirmed in book 2. In book 3 and onwards she has her own POV. An urban fantasy novel about college witches who struggle to survive in a dangerous magical world while an enemy lurks in the shadows.

Luvian Code: main character, self-love Cupid, Theodosius is aromantic. A cozy urban fantasy novella about him reluctantly mentoring a fledgling Cupid, Kai, and teaching him the equality of the seven loves.

enemies-to-lovers this, friends-to-lovers that, why do they have to become lovers? can't we do enemies-to-besties??? or they stay enemies?? they stay friends??? why must they always get together.

[missaromantic]

don't get me wrong, i love all the positivity around being aro, like "be proud of being aro!! love who you are!!", but we never talk about how hard it is to reach that spot. so here's to the aros who are still trying to understand themselves, who aren't proud of who they are yet, who are still coming to terms with their new identity.

hey. do whatever you want btw. it’s your identity. kiss people for fun. enjoy sex. nobody’s stopping you. being aro and/or ace doesn’t mean you have to be repulsed by romantic or sexual activities if you don’t want to.

and also! things only mean what you meant them to mean. you can have platonic sex and platonically make out with your friends. it’s true. just be sure to communicate so that everyone involved understands and you’re good.

I hate it when people's first reaction to me saying I'm aroace is "oh but don't you wanna have a partner and kids in the future, won't you be sad without that" Like no bitch I'm gonna be happy living alone in the peace and quiet with my cats and dogs and 1000 books to keep me company and I'm gonna be just as happy and complete as every other person out there if not happier.

Just got an ARC review back from my book Ancient Magic (Gray Stone Witches #2)!

[missaromantic]

once again aromanticism is not a tragedy

[missaromantic]

I kinda wish that "oh they don't know they are dating yet lol" was used less as a joke because while it can be funny to think about people not recognizing their obvious feelings it also shows a major issue with amatonormativity and believing certain ways people interact with each other can only be read 1 way. It shoves relationships into a box and assumes the people in their own relationship don't know any better and so can't possibly label it correctly.

"they say they are friends but obviously they just don't know they're dating yet!" Assumes that 1. Friendship is less than romance. 2. That the way these people act with each other has to be romantic and any other interpretation is wrong including the people who are interacting own interpretations of their relationship. 3. Assumes you, a third party observing the relationship you are not part of, know more and better than the people in the relationship and thus have authority to put a label on said relationship.

Do you see the problem here? Do you understand how fucked up it is to constantly be told your relationship is something it's not. Do you understand how rude it is to undermine people's own ability to properly label their own relationships. It does not matter if YOU think they are dating. If they say they are friends then they are F R I E N D S.

The thing Abt relationships is that all parties in the relationship have to agree with what it is. If one says they are dating and the other says they are not, then they are not dating and they will never be until both agree on that face. Simple as that.

amatonormativity isn't something that affects only aro people. it affects all people, aspec or not, queer or not. you can be cishetallo and still be affected by amatonormativity because you're told that being single is bad. amatonormativity isn't a new queer buzzword made for a select few people, it's an actual societal assumption that affects everyone.

[missaromantic]

I love you QPRs, I love you polyamory, I love you relationship anarchy, I love you aromantics with partners, I love you people who don’t want relationships, I love you I admire you loveless community, I love you ignoring amatonormativity <3

Romance is not mandatory to have a good plot!

Let's repeat it until society understand.
