You are correct. Aromantism is a orientation based on an individual's experience or non-experience of romantic attraction and is not based in sexual attraction.

Asexuality is a valid sexuality. Aromantism is a valid orientation.

Casual reminder that “aromantic” is not a valid sexuality.

Every time a post on queerplatonic relationships makes its way around tumblr, the comments are inevitably filled with a flood of “IT’S CALLED FRIENDSHIP” or “WHY DO YOU NEED A WORD FOR THIS.”

Do you honestly think society regards friendship as an acceptable substitute for romance and marriage?  The thing is, most aros would LOVE if it could just be called friendship.

Because that would mean a world where:

Friendships are considered equal to or sometimes *SHOCK HORROR* more important than romantic relationships.  This is not an exceptional occurrence.

Romantic partners know that they might not be their datemate’s Most Important Person and are not bothered by this.

People commonly plan major life events around their friends up to and including housing, finances, employment, ect.

It is common for people to be in their 30s, 40s, 50s, hell even old age having lived with friends that entire time and no one has ever asked them why they’re not married.

It is common for people to have a committed lifelong partnership with their friend and no one bats an eye.

Having a life friend is considered something that can be regarded as equally close to marriage.  It is also taken just as seriously.

Until the day that those are true, friendship is unfortunately not an accurate word to convey the types of relationships we’re talking about. 

I've been unfriended on facebook. Stupid right? But it was like a sucker punch. She was my best friend. And now it feels final. I tried to explain it to my cousin. I don't build relationships so friendship is highly important to me. Losing my best friend like this is breaking my heart. I understand why she did what she did last year. But I always held to hope I could rebuild what I broke. I broke our friendship because I didn't understand that a friend could never stand a chance against a boyfriend.

Hey, do you read any good Supernatural fics..? :3 I read a few that I love but I would always love to read more if you know of any... Also I could recommend some if you want haha

I read a lot of fics. What is your general preference? I normally use AO3 but I still use FanFiction.net sometimes.

Wow, what a sacrifice

I think I'd hate to live in a world where everyone has I same opinion as me.

Yes. I'm horrible with this.

do you ever FEEL yourself being annoying but you CAN’T stop

My new response

I must decline, for secret reasons.

Yes

Me during most conversations that require my opinion.

In the years before I found asexuality, the thought that repeatedly ran through my head was “I don’t like boys… but I don’t like girls either. Can’t I just be nothing? Just nothing?” And for a year and a half now I’ve had a name for it. I love knowing that there are so many of you out there that feel the same, and that it’s not just me. Thank you tumblr and thank you ace awareness week!

Holy crap I just placed bids for #pascon meet and greets for jensen and jared. I shall now start freaking out for the next 18 hours until the auction closes

let’s play a game

how to win: try to guess if i’m a lesbian or not...

how to play: too bad i don’t discuss my sexuality at work, i’m your manager and it’s inappropriate but solid effort with your attempt at discreet questions 

i find the idea of platonic soul mates so fucking amazing, like imagine finding someone who you feel complete with but you don’t have to worry about losing them to messy romance because they’ll be your best friend forever instead

just because your idea of a good time is curling up with a book and hers is doing tequila shots does not make you a better person than her

My being asexual doesn't cause me distress nor does it negatively affect my daily life. It is other people that cause me distress. I don't notice what I don't have. It's constantly having people point out that they think something is wrong with me.

Beautiful

i wanted to try something new today, so here, a screen cap made to look like a painting. inspired by Rembrandt. 

Best part Of Being Aromantic: You draw deep emotional connection from friendships rather than a lover, meaning you experience deep and powerful friendships which will give you life and light in your life.

Worst Part Of Being Aromantic: A fight with a friend breaks your heart, even when it shouldn't. Losing your friend is like going through a bad breakup and no one even understands how hurt you are because you shouldn't feel that attached to people who are "just friends".

After some weeks of being uncomfortable I finally bit the bullet and had a coworker verbally warned about his sexual misconduct towards me. Standing very close just behind my shoulder, saying I'm beautiful, staring. I've asked him to stop but he and a few others thought I was joking; his comments towards me aren't bad they make me highly uncomfortable. I hate the idea that I should be flattered. Fuck that. I don't like that, I don't want that. I don't care if you don't mean it that you're just joking. It adds stress to an already stressful job. I told you to stop, end of story.

This is pissed off Dean because something just happened to Sammy

21 Things You'll Only Un...

When it suddenly becomes your business

I had to learn to recognize sexual references and innuendo. Even now my first reaction/thought doesn't connect a reference to sex. I don't really understand the cake and dragon theme either though.

lol how about stop thinking that asexuals don’t understand sexual innuendos or sexual references – we’re not children go fuck yourself????????

Things like this make me think sexual attraction is a joke.

It's sad because it's true.

“The worst feeling is feeling unwanted by the person you want the most.”

Words I've said today as an adult...

"Give me Snickers or give me death"

So I asked my cousin not to out me as asexual, she has already...to her boyfriend without my consent when I was right there, to my family which she has come very to close on several occasions. So instead of acknowledging my request as a normal human being might, she throws it back at me and blames my current depressed mood for being touchy. Bitch you are not helping.

A message for you (x)

I was kicked out of my best friend’s wedding party and then the next week I was told I wasn’t allowed at the wedding. It’s been a year and haven’t spoken with her. Still not over it.

why does no one talk about how friends can break your heart so devastatingly intimately sometimes a million times worse than romantic partners why does no one talk about friend break ups
