What if we introduced an aro-ace character in the worst way possible. Like,one of the supporting characters (like Gus from the owl house) has a crush on another character,band they're oblivious for like a season/ book and a half, and it's the cutest thing that people obsess about, and when they finally confess their feelings, the other character is like "oh" in bad way,band say "umm... I'm aro-ace". And everybody is happy about inclusion, but also really sad about their favourite ship being sunk.
Aroace skywing icewing for pride month :}
Reblogs greatly appreciated:D
I didn't know there was a term for it. For me. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart ❤️
finding a term that you’ve never heard before but it resonating with you so deeply is a really cool experience
and that is why research on queer identities, whether gender, sexuality, or romance, is so needed!

Pops giving the finger to amatonormativity
Here’s a silly little metaphor for my aroace experience, as someone who grew up with romcoms and shipping and “romanticised” romance. Because I can’t express my emotions in a non-jokey way.
CW: kind of a vent so it’s a bit depressing
It’s like someone who really wants to eat meat, has to be vegan. Not by choice, but because they physically can’t eat meat. Let’s say they’re allergic or something.
Sure, there’s vegan substitutes for meat and milk etc, like facon (fake bacon) and vegan cheese. And sometimes, it tastes good, maybe even better than the real deal.
But they’ve heard of how great meat tastes, and to such details that they can imagine the exact sensation. Though they’ve never had a bite, they’ve always thought that one day, they’d be able to eat all the meat in the world.
Recently, it dawned on them that they can never take a bite. And they’re fine with that, they have to be. Eventually, they move on with their life. They try to avoid thinking of meat as much.
They see people eating meat, everywhere. And it’s much more noticeable, now that you know you’ll never be able to taste it. And you get more curious, and jealous. You want to ignore it, but people eating meat is all around you, it can’t be ignored.
And the way people describe the taste is so glorious that you can’t help but feel happy seeing other people enjoy their meat. You feel happy thinking about the unattainable. But at the end of the day, that only makes you feel more miserable and empty inside
I am SO happy to celebrate the first international asexuality day.
So here’s some of the asexuality-themed art (and pictures) I’ve made throughout to years.
I made a tiktok for this! I’m drawing one aro character a day for aro awareness week!
Friendly reminder that Alastor is aroace. I personally think you can ship him however much you want, I can’t control that, but it’s disappointing that a majority of the fandom choose to romanticise and hyper sexualise him. It makes it so that he’s only portrayed as aro/ace in a minority of the fandom. A lack of sexual or romantic attraction isn’t boring, it’s not uninteresting. I want it to be normalised. Yes you can ship him but respect his canon sexual orientation, as much as you’d respect any other part of the community 💜
If anyone for some reason want to use this as any kind of profile picture you’re totally welcome!

I have a tiktok, go follow!
Hello, yes, I think this addition is extremely important.
There is almost twice as much written in the exclusionist tag, let that sink in.
So if y’all like writing fanfiction...
Say what you like about weird, cringy, or bad ao3 tags, I’ve found the absolute worst one ever, nothing can beat the horridness of this tag
Fuck you yes he fucking is. Stop erasing his identity you asshats
I barely get any notes for Archie fanart, but goddamnit Jughead is my comfort character and I draw what I like
So here’s a screenshot redraw featuring aroace betrayal™. The shading looks a bit dirty but I don’t hate it. Idk which issue this is from btw, but I’d love to know!

I made this a while after pride month and finally decided to post it! Don’t mind me making my faves say aspec rights. I also decided to add plushies of the others because why not! 💜🤍🖤
If you can’t tell: Lion= Roman, Owl= Logan, disturbing looking frog= Patton, spider= Virgil, snake= ...Thomas and finally Octupus= Remus 💚🤍🖤
It’s been quite a while since I made this for a March issue of a zine, it feels like ages ago! Anyway I thought I should post it. Here’s to the Spongebob Musical, a surprisingly great show!
So I heard spongebob said ace rights 🌈

I got two bingos.
I’m somewhere on the ace spectrum and I believe I’m demiromanic (I haven’t explored romantic attraction/the aromantic spectrum in a while, though).

I made some Danny Phantom doodles and wanted to post them so here they are.
aces don't need to compensate for our lack of sexual attraction by being super kinky, making dirty jokes, writing the best smut, handing out water bottles at the orgy etc. i'm tired of seeing these jokes about "the ace friend" who does all of these things because it feels like just another way to say "oh look! aces aren't that broken actually! aces can participate in all these sexy things and be normal!"
we don't need to compensate. we just exist, whatever that looks like, in whichever way we relate to sex and sexual things.
exclusionists can go fuck themselves. they have no right to gatekeep the LGBTQ+ community unless it puts the community in danger (such as when the MAPs tried to get in the community). /srs
Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing pride month! /gen
since exclusionists are coming out of the woodwork for pride month, just a friendly reminder that this blog is a safe space for bi, pan, ace and aro ppl :]
HELLO EVERYONE HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
here iz my persona
I found this on Pinterest and I shared it because I support ace and aro folks.
