[crazy-doo-doo-acey]

"To deny a demisexual their right to be proud of their identity is to rip a demi heart from a demi chest."

- Bunson Holmes, The Queer Guide to Mulling About

[edenexxe]

this post is for the demispec people (and for the demispec people who tried to fit in)

for those who don't know, demiromantic/demisexual mean that you only experience romantic/sexual attraction to someone after forming an emotional bond with them.

this is for the demi people who never understood the idea of celebrity crushes. (and for the demi people who picked a randomly celebrity to "like" to fit in.)

this is for the demi people who felt bad for not reciprocating feelings for a person who liked them. (and for the demi people who were known for "having high standards" for never dating anyone.)

this is for the demi people who always sat out spin the bottle or 7 minutes in heaven at parties. (and for the demi people who participated in those games to fit in.)

this is for the demi people who take years to develop feelings for someone. (and for the demi people who take even longer.)

this is for the demi people who worry about making friends because they fear eventually developing feelings for them. (and for the demi people who have or have had feelings for their friends.)

this is for the demi people who are told "everyone needs to know someone before liking them, you're not special" by society.

this is for the demi lesbians, the demi gays, the demi bi people, the demi pan people, the demi trans people, the demi enbies, and all demi people who use the demi label along with other sexualities and genders. (and for the demi people who don't, and are just demi.)

if you are demiromantic, demisexual, or both, you are valid.

As valentines day begins to rear its ugly head on the world, let's take a moment to appreciate our favourite aspec characters and personalities

Remember that there are other kinds of love besides romantic or sexual, and not having a partner does not mean you're not capable of loving. Good examples of non-romantic/non-sexual love include:

The love you feel towards your dog or cat or bird

The love you feel towards your parents

The love you feel towards your siblings/cousins

The love you feel towards your friends

The love you feel towards your favourite characters/personalities

The love you feel towards your hobbies

The love you feel towards yourself

The love you feel towards your bed

And many more ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🩶🖤🤍

You might be aromantic but allosexual. You might be asexual but alloromantic. You might be aroace. You might be demi. Either way, you are real and valid and I love you. /p

Edit: Someone asked me and i figure i gotta answer publicly: Cabby is not *canonically* demi but (keep in mind this might just be me grasping at straws begging for any real aro representation) it is implied in the show

I might redo this next year with "canon" "implied" and "headcanon" labels

For clarification: Balloon and Alastor are both canonical and Jaiden has a whole video coming out as aroace and describing her experience as an egg (it's very good I recommend you give it a watch), Cabby is the only unconfirmed one on this list so far jsyk

Demiro lgballt comic

(This comic is not about asexuality or demisexuality -I'm allosexual demiromantic)

(id needed) (tag us if you added an id to this)(edit : there is an id now check rbs)

This was before I realised Im demiromantic, when I was in high school, before the Romeo and Juliet unit in english class, my teacher asked us some discussion questions related to the story, including this one.

I thought 'love at first sight' sounded made-up and like something that only happens in fiction but I remembered I had known some people who got romantic crushes on ppl 'at first sight' so I went with 'yes', while thinking that I hadn't experienced that and probably won't.

I realised Im demiromantic last year, after thinking I was alloromantic then aromantic then greyromantic. In the past I thought I was demirose briefly then stopped using the label bc it didn't feel like me.

[do not tag with ace / acespec / demisexual tags. This post is about demiromanticism. ]

do not repost, (can share this post link though), reblogs encouraged though

[nightfallsystem]

demisexuals and demiromantics and demiplatonics and demiaesthetic and demisensual and demialterous and demiqueerplatonic and demi-anything people are so cool!!!! look at this post with your eyes if you agree :D

[demiro-allosexual-culture-is]

Demiromantic non-ace arospec culture is wishing we were more represented in the demiromantic community instead of demiromantics being assumed to be demisexual or asexual

( 🧺 ) dandelion demi flag

[ id: a flag with three horizontal stripes, the top and bottom one being thicker, in the following colors: yellow, green-ish and light green.

The first has a black triangle pointing to the middle stripe, to the left. The second flag has a dark green triangle. /End id ]

definition:

a flag for people who are demi or demispec for most attractions, but not all; a dandelion demi/demispec flag.

examples:

- someone who is demisexual, demiplatonic and demisensual but not demiromantic. they feel sexual, platonic and sensual attraction for people they're close to, but that doesn't apply to romantic attraction.

- someone who is demiaesthetic, demiplatonic, demisexual and demiqueerplatonic but aromantic. they feel aesthetic, platonic, sexual and queerplatonic attraction to those they're close to, but that doesn't apply to romantic attraction, specifically because they're aromantic.

- someone who is demiromantic and demiplatonic but heterosexual. they feel romantic and platonic attraction to those they're close to, but that doesn't apply to sexual attraction, specifically because they're heterosexual.

being demisexual, demiromantic and pansexual at the same time is really fun because you're like "i have equal attraction to everyone regardless of gender, which is very little, unless you're the Chosen One".

[tinkerbitch69]

Any other Demi folks who really want a relationship but experience attraction so rarely and so often on people who don’t reciprocate those feelings who are currently wondering if they are ever gonna fall for the right person and one day have the wonderful romantic valentines experience you’ve always dreamed of?

Cuz if so I see you.

Happy Valentines, Demi siblings💖💖💖

I never do this on tumblr but lets go besties

I've been doing some research and I'm thinking that I'm very likely on the ace spectrum! I looked at a bunch of different microlabels to see if anything fit and I didn't really find something that exactly describes what I feel so I think I'll just refer to myself as either on the acespec or demispec (if that exists lol)

yeah that's it byeeeee

We won so fucking hard today boys and girls

Shoutout to demiromantics who don't want friends!! So much demiromantic content focuses on demiros who want to be "friends first" with partners or fall in love with their friends and this hardly represents those of us who don't want anything to do with friendship.

[do not derail. also do not tag with demisexual or ace or acespec tags please! I am demiromantic and allosexual and nonfriending aplatonic. This post is about demiromantics.]

[It's not that demiromantics can't require friendship, its that lots of people misdefine demiro as ONLY being this this when the term amicusromantic specifically exists to mean only that although one can be demiro as well. And also since you all are represented by demiro content let us have this post at least]
