This year marks one decade since I first realized I'm aromantic. In that decade, I've gone on such a journey with my aromantic identity. I've passed through many arospec labels before eventually settling into just straight up aromantic. I considered myself a romo and partnering aro for many years before discovering I'm nonpartnering and nonamorous. I discovered that I'm loveless and aplatonic and found great comfort and joy in those things. I passed through several acespec labels before realizing I'm actually alloaro. I've run two different aspec centered blogs. I coined an aro related label. And I've participated in and adored our caring, vibrant, and diverse aromantic community. I'm so happy and proud to be aro and to share spaces with so many other incredible aros. Being aromantic is a gift, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

obsessed with the fact that the union of the two mandalorian factions is symbolized not by din and bo but by bo and the armorer. they’re co-girlbossing the rebirth of mandalore and getting gay married at the great forge while din is just hanging out with his son on nevarro and letting the lesbians handle it

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (6/?) - Blue & Green
Star Wars + Text Posts & Headlines
Note from OP:
In looking back, I have mixed feelings about that last Mace Windu one, because while it's somewhat relevant to his character in the sense that he IS extremely powerful fighter, I also feel like it also veers too much into the "Angry Black Person" stereotype/trope, &/or that it is pulling too much from other memorable characters of Samuel L. Jackson's, not from the personality of Mace Windu himself.
I'm on the fence whether I should remove it from the post or just leave it there, so I'm just going to leave these remarks, and also drop the link to a really good post I saw a few days ago, discussing Mace Windu’s character in the fandom, I highly recommend checking it out:

Hi! I have heard of aplatonic people before and i used to be very involved in the aro and ace community (i used to identify as ace but i have realized that that label doesnt fit me). I'm just curious: what is being loveless or lovequeer like? I havent even heard the later term before, and i would like to hear about your experience. Im sorry if this is intrusive, you dont have to answer, im just curious about peoples life experience who have it different from me.
It’s not intrusive at all, no worries! I’m more than happy to talk about my experiences, especially since seeing other people talk about theirs is what led me to figuring myself out in the first place.
Loveless as our community uses it can mean a lot of different things; the meanings that I mainly identify with are straight up not feeling love and rejecting the ideas that love is required, always good/pure, and that it’s the greatest good or most meaningful thing in life.
I genuinely just don’t feel anything that I would consider love. When people describe what love feels like or how they feel about people they love, it sounds so fantastical and made up to me. I’ve never felt anything like that and can’t even begin to imagine feeling that. I generally just don’t have very strong feelings like that, sort of in general but especially towards people. I care about the people I’m close with and enjoy having them in my life, but my feelings towards them are just so mild and loose compared to what a majority of people seem to feel. Like, if my closest friend of several years suddenly told me tomorrow that she was moving far away and was never going to see me or contact me again, I would be pretty unbothered. I’d wish them well and go on with business as usual, and I’d be just as content as I was before. And because of all that, I really disagree with a lot of mainstream ideas about love. It’s hard to believe or agree that love is the most important thing in everyone’s lives or that life is meaningless without love when it’s not something you feel.
Lovequeer is a label I identify with a lot more loosely/casually. I do consider myself lovequeer, but it’s not something I feel strongly about. Since you haven’t heard of it, being lovequeer is about rejecting the idea of love as it applies to romance, redefining what love means to you, and centering forms of love that are less talked about and respected. I consider myself lovequeer because despite not feeling love, I do still use the word love and enjoy love as a concept. For me, it’s about using the word love in whatever ways I want and finding my own meaning in the idea of love outside of society’s expectations of it. As I said in a different post, "loveless as in I don’t feel anything like what most people consider to be love and reject the idea that love is inherently good/what makes us good, and lovequeer as in I will use the word love however I damn well please and redefine what love means for me."
