Me: I’m Aromantic Asexual

Them: But I don’t understand! Is there no one you want to spend the rest of your life with?!

Me:

Me : I’m Aromantic Asexual

Them: You say that now but just wait ‘til you get older

Me:

Princess Peach turning down Bowser and Mario to go on a round the world trip with her bestie Tiara is big AroAce energy.

Me: I’m Aromantic Asexual

Them: Why do you people need so many labels?! You’re just trying to sound special!

Me:

Me: I’m Aromantic Asexual.

Them: Yeah, but when you get married…

Me:

Why do we call arranging a date for someone “fixing them up” ?

“I ought to fix you up with my coworker.”

“Oh, they would be cute together. Let’s fix ‘em up!”

Why fixing?

As if our singlehood needs repair. As if single people are a mishmash of broken car parts in your garage that you need to tack together.

I adore Asmo~♡ He’s giving me major Aroallo vibes

He also uses “adore” as an alternative for “love” when he expresses his feelings to MC which I also prefer to say as an aro person and I know many other aro people also prefer that. Aro coded, aro coded!

Please remember to include aromantics in your pride wishes and posts! For those of you who are already doing that, thank you!!

“Toughest case to crack! What is romantic love?”

So, remember when people were disappointed that these two were non-romanceable back in the day? Well I have a game theory!

Please don’t forget to include aromantics in your wishes and posts about pride this year! To those who are already including us, thank you!

Reigen Arataka has a message this year’s pride: Aros are valid! And they’re part of the lgbtq community!

+ I headcanon him as aro (and ace but I am focusing on aromanticism in this art series I’m doing)

Please remember to include aromantics in your lgbt posts and wishes! Those who are already doing so, thank you!

Happy Pride month!

To celebrate pride and my aromanticism in personal level, I will make some drawings for the characters I headcanon as aromantic.

Please don’t forget to include aromantic people in your wishes this year’s pride! To those who are already including us, thank you!

Our own community has gotten better about not assuming all aro people are ace, but the people outside the community… not so much.

I ask my friend for advice on rejecting someone gently. They say, “just tell her you’re ace”.

I’m at the hospital talking to the other patients in the unit, they ask me if I’m straight. I say, “no, I’m aromantic”. A few don’t know what it is, so I explain. One responds, “oh, so you’re like, asexual?”

I draw an aro flag on my arm for pride month. Someone sees it and asks why I don’t just use the ace flag.

I tell my friend that I’ve dropped asexuality from my label due to people constantly ignoring my aromanticism in favor of asexuality and due to feeling like my lack of sexual attraction is part of my aromanticism. They continue to call me ace.

I tell someone I’m aromantic. They call me ace.

Non-SAM aros and alloaros are erased by alloromantics all the time, no matter how much we explain that we aren’t ace. Yet another example of people not listening to aro people, as if we don’t already have a surplus :/

local-aro-cryptid:

since pride month is coming up or whatever:

include aspecs in your pride. include aces and aros and those that are aspec in other ways; include those that are somewhere on the spectrum; include aros that aren’t ace; include aroaces; include aces that aren’t aro; include aspecs in relationships; include aspecs that never want relationships; include cishet aspecs; include aspec identities you don’t hear about often; include our flags and include our voices

we are as much a part of this community as any other queer person
