#Touch repulsed

[ace-culture-is]

Ace culture is being simultaneously both touch starved and touch averse and not knowing what to do with it

[arowritingprompts]

Character A is a touch repulsed aroace. B is a touch repulsed autistic. The two of them find common grounds in that share experience.

OK so is anyone else suuuuper touch starved but also completely touch repulsed at the same time? I feel like a fucking cat.

I go from: Why don't you love me? Please show me affection I desire to be loved and held

But when I get touched: You dare touch me? You dare lay thy filthy hands on my benevolent form? Oh! Jail for friend! Jail for One Thousand Years!

Any one else like this?

How can I be so touch starved I sometimes feel the urge to hug someone I barely know in a bone-crushing hug and never release them but, at the same time, being so touch repulsed I will frantically scratch my skin to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling if someone just brushes me by accident ?

I love koisenu futari, and i also LOVE the touch repulsed (and asensual) representation. So far the touch repulsed representation I've seen has connections with trauma ( like Kaz Brekker) . Definitely Not that that's not valid, but just noting that this is the first time I've seen a character who is touch repulsed by nature.

Or maybe I haven't consumed a lot of media. Whatever the case, this is another reason why I love this show

How to comfort a touch-repulsed character?

You know whose character I'm thinking about but I want to group up several ways to comfort touch-repulsed characters in general, so feel free to add anything (even the things Little One wouldn't like)

My takes are just the basic:

Give them their favorite food.

Put a nice ambient music on.

Give them soft blankets.

Let them watch something they like.

Teach them to craft something.

Read for them.

Please add-on

touch repulsed culture is your mom going "you never let me hug you anymore :(" even though she hugs you pretty regularly and you've given up telling her to stop

Prompt idea: touch repulsed (unless iniciated themselves) aroace and touch starved aroace try and navegate a platonic relationship in a middleground

touch repulsed demiro-ace culture is (very specific ik) being uncomfortable with the slightest bit of skin touching yours but being clingy to the one you truly love

[romo-repulsed-aro-culture-is]

romo/touch repulsed culture is loving that all your friends respect your romantic and physical boundaries :]]

[onceuponaweirdo]

To my people who also don't like being touched, do you else have that awful feeling after someone hugs you by surprise, like they are still touching you?

[aroaceconfessions]

I REALLY want a QPR.

I just want a friend I can cuddle with! Share a home with, may even raise a child with em. Just affection without sexual or romantic expectations? My ideal partner! I literally just want headpats and banter with someone, I want to walk the cold night streets after watching a play, linked arm and arm like an old fashioned couple in the 1920s.

Heck! I want a ROOMMATE in a historical context! The: omg they were roomates. "They were inseperable friends, they lived together, they shared a bed, they visited the local park everyday to feed the murder of crows they've befriended, they never married and died in the ripe old age of 80." Then I want the historians to find our cheesy 'affectionate' letters that we sent to each other, just poems of adoration.

I loath physical touch, I hate light touches, the second someone touches my shoulder or brushes up against me I tense up. But goddamn it I want to lay on someone's lap while they read and play with my hair, I keep it fluffy for a reason! I don't like holding hands, it gets so sweaty, so uncomfortable. But feeling someone's warmth at my side as we hold arm and arm, that's nice. I hate receiving kisses, or giving them for that matter. I'd rather just stay by their side, listen to them talk, just be in their company.

I long for the day I get to say "I adore you."

Very cool and sexy of my brain to be touch starved and touch repulsed at the same time.
