its that time of year

isn't it fucked up that people describing their relationships get their language policed; even though it's their relationship? isn't it fucked up that most of those terms are coined by aspecs? i.e.

"my platonic polycule"

"you mean friendgroup?"

"my queerplatonic partner"

"you mean friend?"

"my sexual partner"

"you mean fuck buddy?"

"my squish-"

"your WHAT?"

it's tiring. trying to live in a world as an aspec person and seeing casual aphobia everywhere. you can't get a break. maybe ask if it affects you. are these terms offensive? are you in that relationship? is it your business? if no, shut your mouth

Life is fucking sweet When you got zero feelings

--Zero Feelings, Zoe Clark

[ID: Three edits of the aromantic, aplatonic, and loveless flags. The first photo is the aromantic flag with the words "'Cause I like how". The second is the aplatonic flag with the words "I'm so self-sufficient". The third is the loveless flag with the words "you don't know what you're missing". /end ID]

yes asexuals can fuck but we need to not forget that allos can possibly not fuck ? entirely too many times I hear people saying "lol you're probably ace" to people that are literally just celibate . like guys . please . stop acting like the asexual = no sex i thought we were far past that guys

theres so many reasons to be celibate from religious to health (both physical and mental) and all the way to just not wanting to and it can very much have nothing to do with attraction

(not to mention it feels weird to see as a celibate aroallo but that's a separate topic)

*if your gender and sexuality brought on different feelings, vote for whichever you want. (whichever feeling was stronger, or first, or however you want to decide).

If you’re comfortable with it, put your sexuality and/or gender identity in the tags along with the feeling you experienced upon discovering it so we can see if any trends appear with correlations between certain identities and feelings!

Hey, I'm arospec. I have a girlfriend who I love romantically, and if I had to choose between everyone stereotyping aromantics to never be able to date, or for people to say "But aros can still date" I would choose for people to stereotype aros to never be able to date without a shadow of a doubt. Obviously neither stereotype is GOOD but I swear people use the latter statement to ignore aromantic Characters OR EVEN PEOPLE all the goddamn time. For the love of God if I make a post headcanoning a Character as aro CAN PEOPLE STOP SHIPPING THEM IN THE NOTES OF THAT POST????

Straight and cisgender people, have you ever had to Google if you’d get arrested at your vacation destination?

If we got to choose our sexuality or gender, we wouldn’t choose to be put in jail, or even GET KILLED.

So many of us are closeted from fear of losing our homes, family, friends, jobs, sometimes even lives.

We don’t get to be who we actually are in over 70 different countries.

We don’t want to turn your cishet kids queer, we want your queer kids to be alive.

If love is illegal, so will our silence

Edit: whatever you do, don’t look at the comments, transphobe had a hissy fit over queer people

Like idk but-- something about how Laios is never once portrayed as desirable in the traditional way really gets to me. The entire series is about every kind of desire and how people deal with it, but as for the main character?? Sexually?? Romantically?? Not one single person. (There was that one auxiliary character but she was after his favor as team leader/perceived birth status, though he actually ran away from it all.)

There are even several jokes about how undesirable he is from a sexual/romantic standpoint. And while yes that does have some aroace flavor to it, given that he (in the show/manga anyway) shows no interest in romance or sex himself, so of course he wouldn't try to be appealing that way, I find it comforting from just-- a general standpoint??

Like that an author sat down and wrote a main character that's just plain awkward and unattractive in-universe, noticed, joked about sometimes (after all it is a comedy series), but the character himself is never ever The Joke, Laios is always shown as worth it. Worth watching. Worth knowing.

He's socially inept, the only reason he even shaves and cuts his hair is because he doesn't want to look like his father, he doesn't even care about romance let alone have the skills to be a good partner, and just... so what?? The story never asks us why. He just is.

He's the main character, he's himself. His story is worth telling, screw the love interest sideplot. It's worth seeing through.

He's enough.
