at this point is so obvious I’m asexual. people around me would notice if they were educated, seriously

this.

I’d rather be me

I’d rather be me than be with aro ace and aspec exclusionists

Listen, I was already obsessed with the color purple before I knew my sexuality, but now that I know I’m asexual I’ve become more powerful. My obsession with purple has trancended what I thought was possible.

Does asexuality cause people to perceive their gender differently? Like, I’m not sure if I’m nonbinary or anything, but I definitely feel disconnected from my gender, and have noticed a trend that other asexual people are more likely to be nonbinary than other sexualities.

Does the lack of sexual attraction lead to that disconnection to your gender? As in, not being able to relate to the others of your assigned gender in the same way due to not being in touch with sexuality in the same way as them? It may also be similar with aromantics, I’m not sure.

If anyone has any further input or ideas on this I’d love to know because I’m really interested in this concept.

I’m eating a tall bowl of purple mac and cheese past midnight because I am astronomically asexual and exist to spite god

I might be dead inside but at least I’m not horny

So I heard that asexual awareness week is happening over Halloween!!!!! This feels like a historical landmark bc spooky season and asexuality just seems like the ultimate power couple to me idk

Bring back the true halloween spirit by throwing away the sexy werewolf costumes and just, dress up as asexual clowns and scare the shit out of people just like the good old days

This’ll be easy because I don’t even need to wear a costume to be an asexual clown

Since I’m asexual and all two of my braincells go towards plotting world domination, this physics worksheet is making me want to yeet myself into the nearest void. Adieu

Currently being asexual and singing songs about sex because i love irony

Everyone irl is talking about how many kids they want but all I want in life are those car stickers that represent family members but instead of it being me, my spouse, and my kids, I want it to be me and just a ton of dogs. Dream big, kids

it’s okay if the phrase “born this way” doesn’t resonate with you. it doesn’t have to. if you’re trans and you were your assigned gender at some point, if your orientation is related to trauma, if you just don’t care if you were born this way or not… etc. etc. that’s all fine and good. we all have different stories and different ways of identifying ourselves. your queerness is just as meaningful and important and true as those who were born this way.

“Why do girls go for all the assholes?”

The secret is, some girls are asexual and/or aromantic, and since we’re attracted to the letter ‘a’ and ‘asshole’ starts with ‘a’… hoo mama how could we NOT

Aces and Aros

(A queer parody of Elle King’s “Exes and Oh’s” by @peppertherealmvp)

My friends were googling their celebrity crush,

But I don’t get what about them makes them all blush,

Whoa-oh,

I don’t get it all that much.

I’m expected to want sex just because I’m a teen,

Yet all through my life I haven’t felt all that much need,

Yeah-Yee,

What does “hot” even mean?

1,2,3 dysphoria for me

Constantly mistaken for celibacy

1,2,3 “you’re not LGBT!”

Sexual attraction just isn’t for me

Aces and the A-Aros,

We’re haunted,

Where even when we’re getting flaunted,

We just do-o-on’t

No we don’t, get it all

Aces and Aros

Need no potion

No need to be fixed in this ocean

We still have the

Emotion,

yeah, ohh!

Ace and aro.

I question myself every living day,

While I’m trying to get through life everyone is wanting dates

Hey-ey,

I just don’t roll that way.

They ask me who I like,

But I don’t feel attraction,

So I pick a random person just to try to fit in,

Y’know,

Coz that’s how society goes.

1,2,3 more dysphoria for me,

I just wanna have friends or a zucchini,

1,2,3 no romance for me,

Platonic attraction will only work for me.

Aces and the a-aros,

In action,

We just don’t feel the attraction,

Even if we wa-anted it we

Can’t control,

Aces and the a-aros

Are valid.

No matter what we want

It’s valid! We still lo-ove and that’s how it goes!

Ace and Aros.

1,2,3 no more dysphoria for me,

Fuck this heteronormative society!

1,2,3 I identify as me!

Aspecs rule the world and that’s the fuckin’ tea!

Aces and the a-Aros,

In harmony

Lack of attraction doesn’t lessen you honey,

On Valentine’s you save all the!! Money!!

Aces and the a-aros,

Among me,

Let’s rise up and tell our story,

But it’s okay if you are

NOT!!

READ-Y!!

lostlovepunk:

so recently i made a post about loveless and lovequeer aros, and there seemed to be quite some people who never heard of lovequeer but liked the concept. so, to spread it a little bit more and also to hear other lovequeer aro’s perspectives, i’d like to start a collection of lovequeer experiences, own definitions etc.

the term was coined by @raimi in this post:

I’m coining the term lovequeer. To be lovequeer is to fully reject the concept of “love” as society applies it for romance, and to redefine the word around oneself and the types of love neglected by amatonormativity.

I am a lovequeer aro. My heart is full of love for my friends, for my family, for my pets. The idea of romance is useless and irrelevant to me. I don’t need romance. All I need is my strong and passionate love.

so that’s how it originated. in my own experience, being lovequeer is all about having your own idea of love, completely detached from romance. i use the word love in my day-to-day life quite much, and at this point the only type i really bother to specify is romantic love, because this is the type i am not used to talking about.

i love using the word “love” for small and big warm emotions, i love to use the phrase “i’ve fallen in love” or “i am in love with” for abstract concepts. it makes those things that are important to me sound big and impactful, and it takes the focus away from romance as the “one important kind”. i’d even say it takes away from love being that one big powerful world-moving emotion, and to be honest, i like that. i like to have love as something nearly mundane in my life, as something that improves it a lot, but that doesn’t have to be the focus wherever it appears.

i like having love in my life, just for it to be there. it doesn’t have to drive anything anywhere, it is just there and i can enjoy its presence. i like being in love with someone’s voice, or a word, a very cool concept, and just being stunned by it without having to do anything about it.

i also enjoy having love as this all-important emotion in my life, because it can be world-moving and it deserves to be. but so deserves compassion, and kindness, and those aren’t put on a pedestal like love is. so being lovequeer for me means being in a world surrounded by my self-defined love, without love being the one thing that defines my thoughts and actions.

Oh fuck I haven’t been on here in a while but I just want to update

I’ve realized I’m aromantic!

That’s all have a good night you’re all loved :)

bowl-of-shortness:

Heard an argument once that “having sexual attraction or romantic attraction is the only way to feel love”

Is that so?

Boy do I sure hope you don’t have kids or pets then
