My mom just said she envisioned me finding love (a partner) this year...

Uhm... How do I... Explain...

Me and my mother discussing how I'm trying to buy a house with my best friend

Mother: But what if you both meet someone and have to move house?

Me: *breaths in Aroace*

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.

being aroace is suddenly getting REALLY into purple and green

[moonage-nightterrors]

i’m like if a badass lesbian and a gay twink were co-possessing the body of a socially awkward aroace teenager

If you can’t read my horrid handwriting:

Ink: What about you? Love? Romance?

Error: Gross.

side order was obviously psychological and physical pain for 8 (what else is new) but have you ever thought about how much fun they could've had in certain levels?

mostly with the fact the ∞-ball levels can be a nice session of exposure therapy considering 8 has been an unintentionally traumatized 8-ball murderer for however long they were in the metro (aka: the balls no longer fall!! they're saved!! its a late squidmas miracle!!!!), and also they can occasionally watch from afar as the battering lentos (big boi fishes) somehow solve things while playing with it.

there's also the fact two of the bosses sing BANGERS. absolute icons of their generation. where would we all be without the new idols that are my bois asynchronous rondo and pinging marciale???

also 8 gets to witness the true power of gay moms in the elevator of all places with a very done with life sanitized dj who might as well be their sassy aroace cousin who most definitely talks shit about everyone /j

tl;dr side order is peak comedy at times and fanon 8 should be shown to have at least a bit more fun than ive seen.

imma leave you with this tiktok i found that tempted me to make a character out of the one parallel bobot lookin guy cuz honestly why not

[maxandhisdelusions]

I should have known I was aroace before. Because I opened my memories in my old Facebook profile and what the actual fuck was my 13 year old self thinking writing romantically about a historical figure that's borderline a myth by now that I WON'T NAME BECAUSE HOW EMBARRASSING.

The only crushes I ever had were fictional or cases like that one, and whenever I had a friend confessing their feelings to me I was always ???? to them because I couldn't understand how or why. And then I kept daydreaming about these characters, my sweet summer child. I wish you knew sooner.

[quackle]

wayne total drama is... STRAIGHT? 😰

[vaggieslefteye]

Cropping practice that turned into a pride edit thing - I think I want to make pride icons/screenshots like this for a majority of the cast now.

[the-one-with-spider-brainrot]

Crime that I can't marry my followers to each other, these two have done nothing but act like the most smitten husbands ever and I can't wed them together?! Smh my fucking head

[astrolotte]

Peri is so aroace to me honestly, I don't know why. He's aroace but (based on the fandom's reaction to him) a bunch of people are attracted to him and it freaks him tf out. He gets a love letter and he's pinching it between the tips of his fingers as far away as he can manage as he throws it in the trashcan. Someone flirts with him and he gets nauseous. Hazel and Dev try to set him up with someone after he says that he's "not interested in romance" and it goes disastrously.

I don't think it's likely to be canon at all, but it'd be nice :P Could cause hijinks and also tell kids that it's okay to not be in a relationship if you don't want to be- either yet or ever.

And before you talk to me about Goldie Goldenglow, he was literally a baby. Human children can't feel romantic love for at least a couple years, so I'd say it's probably likely that he was just mimicking an adult thing, as children tend to do. Could very easily fit in canon :P
