#Aro anger

[fellas-is-it]

got tired of all depressing and hating yourself for being aro vibes on legit any other platform besides tumblr (looking at you tictac app) so wanted to listen to positive aromantic playlists and legit could NOT FIND ANY??????

And the ones that were vaguely positive were made for aroace ppl. Which is great! But im not ace!!! So WHERE'S MY POSITIVE AROALLO REP?!?!?!

Anyways i solved this hyperspecific problem myself and made a POSITIVE AROALLO playlist:

Just heard someone on TikTok state that "platonic love is the purest form of love" and I just want to vomit now.

Fuck off with that bullshit. Don’t say crap like this.

Grah. Can’t even word. What the fuck makes people say shit like this and believe they’re actually right??? And that they’re somehow helping aros with it???

(It was a TikTok talking about (queer-)platonic relationships, and started off already weird with bullshit about how if you don’t love your friends you’ve "done something wrong in life", but it just got worse and worse from there………)

Just a fucking reminder that loveless people exist. Aplatonic people exist. And that no form of love is """purer""" than another. Just… how do people think this is an even remotely okay thing to say?

Fuck amatonormativity. Fuck platonormativity. And above all, fuck love.

Fair warning that i've not fuly pinned down the plot for the fic yet, i've just written a collection of snippets that don't always have continuity with each other as I get a feel for what I want in the story itself lol

I'm really tired of situations where asexuality is mentioned like, casually in a way that kind of flattens the definition a bit for simplicity's sake (like just implying asexuality = no sexual interest) and someone feels like they have to jump in to remind us all that some asexuals can still have sex. like cool sure that's a true statement but it rarely comes across as adding nuance and instead sounds like you're saying "remember that some of us are normal just like you". well most of us aren't "normal" so maybe let people sit with their discomfort with that fact for five minutes before reassuring them that asexuals can be just like everyone else

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that

I wish more media could drop the Sex=Romance and Romance=Sex trope, like it makes me so mad that I can't just have a bit of fun with a character in a game without suddenly being in a monogamous romantic relationship!

"why do you dislike romance so much?"

Maybe because it keeps being

SHOVED

DOWN

MY

THROAT!

enough with the positivity, i want more attraction-hating, people hating aroaces.

you love everyone equally? Well, I HATE EVERYONE equally.

Girl help I'm having aroace Miguel O'Hara thots

[aro-carpenter]

Not to vague post but love should lose more often

[whenthewellrandry]

Not really, but you do you.

[mishkakagehishka]

it's okay tho bc i know what i'm gonna write ab for my lit essay

[pinkseas]

every now and then i think abt aphobia just as something that Exists and it genuinely pisses me off so fucking much how fucking far up your own ass do you need your head to be shoved to try and claim being aro or ace or aroace isn't queer. how can you look at either of those things and not recognize them as queer how can you ostracize members of Your Own Fucking Community when their labels are none of your fucking business in the first place. we arent faking we arent stealing resources we arent trying to replace anything or anyone we arent doing any of the other bullshit terfs have claimed we are existing!!!!! and if you see our fucking EXISTENCE as a threat i dont know what to fucking tell you other than to get over it.

Thoughts on being Trans and aroace

I’ve had people ask if I’m ‘gay now’ or if I’m ‘straight’ Like no. I’ve always been aroace, and I came out as such long before I came out as trans and its pisses me off. 

I’ve always been who I am now, I’ve just been in the closet for so long that when I came out you expect my entire world view to change?

(If you did have a change of heart after you transitioned this isn’t targeted at you and you will always be valid)

Something I really like about Stellarlune (or maybe the others as well but this is the one I'm seeing with this perspective) is that we kinda see what Fitz feels like when he lashes out at people. It seems to me like an issue of regulating his emotions. He has an intense (sometimes disproportionate) emotional reaction to [whatever the cause is]. But it's also more than that, he's also honing in on that emotion, focusing on it. Sophie actually more or less does the same thing, but with anxiety rather than anger (plus guilt sometimes but that comes from anxiety alot of the times). Another thing they have in common here is the way they feed into the feeling with their thoughts. Fitz going on rants and Sophie zoning out thinking about impending doom. Or getting stuck on that feeling for days like when Alden's mind broke or when Sophie wore the ability restrictor and wouldn't wake up for days. Plus the way they're both thinking of similar things- Fitz feels like everyone's against him and Sophie feels like nobody likes her. The way Sophie tries to calm Fitz down and other Keefe and Edaline try to calm Sophie down using rational explanations both times. The way Sophie is *known for* keeping secrets(bc of her anxiety, esp in the early books) and Fitz is known for secluding himself or yelling, in a way because of how all consuming their respective reactions can feel. I just think it's a cool/ realistic/ interesting way to portray emotions/ emotional dysregulation and it's really neat.
