Secret Bear is here to support her closetted ace and aro friends. It’s okay to keep parts of yourself secret for your safety. You’re still a welcome and valid member of the aspec community, openly or not. Staying hidden for your own sake does not make you a coward; it means you are wise enough to know when to be cautious.

Brave Heart Lion is here to congratulate the aces and aros who have had the courage to come out to family and friends about their aspec identities. You’re all so brave for being honest about who you are, whether you were accepted or not. If you are still gathering the courage and plan to come out, he wishes you the best!

Loyal Heart Dog is here to remind our aspec friends you that no matter where you are, you can find a friend who will accept you for who you are. Don’t give up looking! Maybe that friend is waiting for you at one of your places in your neighborhood, or perhaps you will meet them online. Loyal friends are everywhere, you just might not have met them yet!

Cheer Bear is here to wish our lovely aspec friends a wonderful day! The world is brighter for having you in it. You might not realize it, but you bring joy and warmth into the lives of others. I’m sure you have at least one person who is happy to see your face or your posts even if you don’t know it.
Snuggles and hugs! (If you want them)

Noble Heart Horse here to remind you that aces and aros are valid whether or not they choose to identify as lgbt+ or not. Those who do identify as lgbt+ are valid aces and aros regardless of what part or parts of their identity they do or don’t consider to be part of their lgbt+ identity. They’re all still aces and aros and a part of the ace/aro community. Just like how Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins are fully a part of the Care Bear Family regardless of whether they are a bear or not.
Bedtime Bear is hoping that all of our aspec friends get just the perfect sleep for them. Some of you may prefer cuddling into fluffy blankets and pillows and snuggling your best friend or your favorite stuffies. Others might prefer a firm mattress with light, cool sheets and a friend, possibly even a friend with benefits to keep them warm on a cold night. Still others may prefer to sleep under the stars listening to the songs of the night in sweet, sweet solitude.
Whatever sleep suits you best, Sleepy Bear wishes you all a wonderful rest.Post link
Harmony Bear would like to remind you that your opinion on the ace/aro discourse doesn’t invalidate your ace/aro identity or any of your other identities.
She has a big hug for the ace/aro inclusionists accused of faking any part of their identity in an attempt to make their arguments stronger or fit in with the other inclusionists. You’re valid and you don’t deserve to be treated like that!
She also has a big hug for all of the ace/aro exclusionists who are told that they’re faking their identity just to deflect criticism. You’re valid and you don’t deserve to be treated like that either!
Let’s all be civil and not invalidate each other’s identities just because we don’t agree with them!
Smart Heart Bear has a big hug out there for all of the aspecs out there who are still learning about their identities and the history, communities, and terminology related to it. It’s okay to not know everything right away, and besides, learning is fun!
Take Care Bear would like to remind you that your mental health doesn’t invalidate your aspec identity.
