Not an Aro-culture-is thing but I do have a question you might be able to answer? Is there an aromantic/asexual term for this: AroAce but if I wasn’t I would be gay? It might just be homoplatonic or homoaesthetic but idk if there was a term for it that relates to being AroAce. Thanks! <3
possibly you might vibe with oriented aroace labels, like gay aroace? i'll put this out there for other folks to consider as well, but I feel like oriented terminology sounds the most applicable from my POV.
My genius neighbours set off some very illegal fireworks in the direction of my house last night, which reminded me I hadn’t said anything about the holidays to any of you yet. As such I thought I’d take a page out of this little ferrets book, and quickly scuttle online to wish you all well before it was too late.
Happy holidays my Darling ones, I hope that no matter what you celebrate at this time of year, nor who you decide to spend that time with, even if you choose to spend it alone like myself, that you have a happy time filled with warmth and comfort.
I love you all dearly and am wishing you the best 🖤
y'all have no idea how much effort goes into trying to interpret and respond to some of the questions we get about aromanticism lol.
like kee does so much tonal phrasing to be nice about this, but. please. "what is aromantic?" i am not google. "i don't know if i feel romantic attraction." cool, i'm not gonna be able to tell you what it feels like either. "hi, what if I am a person and not one of the major aro stereotypes?" then you are a person who is aro and doesn't fit that stereotype.
and like, whatever, we deal with those fine. but the worst. the absolute worst. is the ones where the ask is more or less requesting me to speak for aromantic people as a whole, or - worse and more commonly - a specific subset of aro people who i may not identify with, and almost always insist they aren't trying to be bad, but have such a questionable mindset behind it that i feel like i need to start with "how to identify that you haven't unlearned shit, you just realized you have an identity and stuck your tongue out at the people who taught you that shit"
ok so the # of requests right now is sitting pretty at 210
and my goal is to get it under 200 by the end of the week
that's totally doable, especially considering I can probably get one or two more things done tonight!
I still can't believe my dumb ass said "yoooooo bitches get my request count to 200 this time!!" and you guys CAME THRU
truthfully after I got some stuff done before closing the askbox (the first time XD) and when I opened it briefly before, the actual count was probably closer to 300? but it never actually hit 300 at any one time lol
thank u guys so much for making this a welcoming supportive and FUN space for me
I think that's part of why I've been here 10+ years, have improved in my writing, and am still going strong
... well, it's half y'all's incredible support and fun requests, and the fact that this fandom has a cast full of babes and I can find something to love about every single one (aside from Kelvin and former Earl Trancy, them two can ROT, but everyone else is <3 <3 <3)
