#apothiromantic
Meanings:
Green is the opposite of red and pink, which are colors typically associated with romance, and thus the rejection of those things. It is also represents healing from the shame we often feel as romance repulsed people
The off-white represents being considered ‘off’ or unusual, while the circle represents wholeness in spite of that.
Brown represents strength in the face of relentless romance, in our independence as people rejecting things that even resemble romance, and peace with one’s own romance repulsion.
Living as a romance repulsed aro often feels being a dog kept under the logic of owning a fish. The pet owner keeps wondering why the dog tries so damn hard to keep afloat and get out of the tank. Fish Are Pets So Are Dogs And Fish Need Water And Surely That Means Dogs Do Too, so they keep putting the dog back in the tank and submerging it because Fish Need it To Live. It’s not even malicious, because they think this is what will help you, but the end result is still that I am Not A Fish and that water is Suffocating Me.
Pov your repulsed bird protege finds out you’re also aromantic but then somehow thinks you’re ace too

[ID: Digital comic consisting of Tokoyami Fumikage and Keigo Takami from My Hero Academia. A headshot of Tokoyami says “Romance gross” in black text, the next panel is a headshot of Keigo leaning forward and saying “Yes” and in smaller yellow text “I’m listening”, the third panel is Tokoyami replying “Sex also gross”, and the fourth panel is of Keigo wide eyed with an ellipsis and the words “alloaro silence” beside him. The fifth panel is Keigo leaning back and replying, “We are not the same. And that’s okay.” Around each image is the username Rolaplayor101. /End ID]
Tokoyami, apothi aroace: yeah I just don’t see the purpose in all that relationship stuff. It’s all so gross. Why would you want to sleep in the same bed as someone? Isn’t it uncomfortable and hot? And then you want to get it all dirty doing gross shit? And that’s pleasurable somehow?? What??
Hawks, a romance repulsed alloaro: you had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Tokoyami: romance gross
Hawks:yes
Tokoyami: sex also gross
Hawks: we are not the same
Happy National Asexuality Day!
You are all seen and appreciated for ✨being who you are✨
I decided to make new flags for apothisexual and apothiromantic!
Any ace/aro-spec person who is sex/romance repulsed can use these.
