This year, I went to two local pride events. It was great, but in both events I noticed something: there was almost no aromantic representation. There were plenty of flags for sale, as well as colored merch and stickers, encompassing a wide range of identities. Not ONE of them was aromantic. The flag banners they'd put up, with a bunch of different LGBTQ+ flags? No aromantic. However, there was an asexual flag as well as other items for sale, which was part of the reason I was surprised by the lack of aromantic flags and other merchandise.
I'm not saying the asexual representation is bad; it's great! It's the lack of representation for aromanticism that is problematic. I'm aroace. I was pissed as HELL because I only felt that half of me was underrepresented. I can't imagine how excluded allosexual arospec folk would have felt to know that they had all but been completely erased. The A in LGBTQIA doesn't just stand for asexual; it's for aromantic and agender (which I also noted had no representation) too.
The only mention of aromanticism at all in both pride events was a brief, easy to overlook touch on it at a few stalls. Pride is meant to be inclusive to all. To ALL. Not ALLOROMANTICS ONLY. ALL.
I'm aromantic. I'm not just ace. It took me years to figure out that I was also aromantic, but it doesn't actually make a difference. If I can only find my asexuality shown at pride events then things need to change.
I am aromantic. I'd like for that part of me to be represented. I DEMAND that part of me to be represented.

Reblogging this on my alt account.
Regarding that scene with Purple and their family, what happened with Navy, how I saw it was him gesturing for them to run. To follow him. I don't know if it's entirely true, but that's how I saw it. Navy didn't know what to do, but still tried to get his family to follow him. There was just misunderstandings, and Purple and Orchid couldn't keep up or move fast enough. Maybe Orchid died because of an injury during the New grounds attack.
I dunno if this makes sense but those are just my thoughts.
