out there doing the lord’s work (headcanoning characters as aromantic and Not interested in romantic relationships at all actually, alienating one fandom at a time but having a fantastic blast with it all the while, which is really all that matters)

#gav gab #i need to finish my aro fics #two of them are in progress rn #and both involve the aro character in question being like #not only am i aro but romantic relationships? not for me #one of them is like Friends Are It For Me and the other is interested in a qpr #but neither want romance #and i can’t help but notice that fandoms only seem to want to tolerate like #aro or arospec headcanons when they leave plausible deniability for their ship to still exist #bc of romance favourability or arospec identities that leave room for romantic feelings #not to say those headcanons are bad just that it’s really transparent to me #when fandoms will only allow ones that give them a get out of aro free card so to speak #from an allo or shipper perspective #smacks of the way they’ll allow ace characters or ace headcanons but not aro ones (obv In My Experience disclaimer)#like huh funny how you prioritize your ability to ship over anything else!#cant imagine why fandom spaces feel so inherently and explicitly hostile to me #aro blogging
