liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

[ace-does-stuff]

everytime you headcanon a character as aroallo the world gets about five times brighter btw

[sentientsky]

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

Just saw a post saying “minors shouldn’t identify as aro/ace” and I wanted to say… fuck you.

No look, okay I get why some people don’t want minors in certain spaces, and that’s fine. DNI minors then, if you want to.

But you can identify as anything at anytime in your life. It doesn’t hurt anyone to identify as one thing and then realise you’re another. It’s growth. Your identity will change as you age. It’s normal. And if it doesn’t? That’s also normal.

Also, from 13-18 (minors in most countries) is the most complexly romantic and sexual time. Obviously I’m not going into detail as again MINORS. But teenagers undergo the most change is hormones, emotional growth, romantic and sexual interest then any other age.

In my opinion, teenage years is when you’re MOST LIKELY to figure out you’re aro/ace. It’s the MOST LIKELY time to question your identity in general. Obviously, again, no age limit, but it’s the most common time for self discovery.

It’s called a “coming of age” story for a reason.

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

This. I wrote 14 versions of:

Aspec Travelogue, Day 8, May 10.

Land’s End, St. Agnes, Constantine Bay Beach, and Charlestown.

In the end, I was like, “Oh whatever. I had a nice day. My travel mates and I are now serious about an August trip to Paris, and our biggest drama today was an anxious young dog. A good day.”

me in the middle of writing a post: you know what *discard*

Happy Pride Month to everyone who gets this joke, laughed at it, or isn’t a homophobic or transphobic etc asshole.

Some of y'all can't comprehend an idea of a conventional attractive person that dresses however they want being on an ace spec and it shows

[atasteforblood]

Love that's not defined by any social prerequisite, I want a lover but not in the traditional sense of the word.

"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

A reaction image that I really needed

[embergalaxy]

pride months coming up so a reminder not to forget about trans mascs who

-are left out of reproductive healthcare discussions and are ignored by cis men and women

-arent seen as men or non binary but rather seen as 'women lite'

-are also intersex (trans intersex people exist and are valid)

-are asexual and/or aromantic or are straight or bisexual

-havent gone through any surgeries and/or havent gone on hormones and/or havent socially transitioned

-have fully transitioned or dont want to transition

-have different transition timelines and/or have been on and off of hormones

-have a very complicated relationship with gender

-are also transfem and/or consider themselves multigender

-have to remind people that transmasc doesn't equal trans man

-feel invisible or forgotten or excluded from lgbt spaces

Male character: I'm not attracted to women.

Fandom: Oh, he's gay.

Female character: I'm not attracted to men.

Fandom: Oh, she's a lesbian.

Any character: I'm not attracted to anybody.

Fandom: Well, we don't know that they're ace/aro/aroace. It's open for interpretation. They're not canonically ace/aro/aroace unless they specifically say they are.

Hmmmm. I wonder why we're so frustrated in fandom spaces. I wonder if there's a reason.

[q-isthebestletter]

I'm asexual which means I'm attracted to the floor as a young man

I'm aromantic which means I'm attracted to the sink in my stomach

I'm aroace which means I'm attracted to you as well and I don't know where to begin to get back into my head

I'm asexual which means I'm attracted to the exit.

Well...I mean...accurate?
