Aromantic Asexual - Blog Posts

When I was twelve or thirteen and thought I was bisexual, I started reading Tomura Shigaraki x readers, but stopped because I realised I just wanted to hang out with him and be his friend instead of be his gf, and that these fics were twisting his character in my mind. That probably should have been a sign of my aromanticism and asexuality, but no, I wouldn’t figure it out for a while.

At school we had yearly letters that we would write to ourselves, and in one from when I was perhaps fourteen, I wrote something akin to ‘no crushes yet, but I’m hopeful’. Reading that when I graduated and got the letters back was fun, I enjoyed laughing at myself.

shoutout to nine-year-old me who was very much aroace but didnt know the difference between hyperfixating on a character and having a crush on them so for the next few years i told everyone that the only crush i ever had was on lord voldemort

My little guy 😊

Thought I'd change their appearance up a little bit! The short hair isn't really permanent because I still like the long hair more.

Hope y'all like them!!

Lilith redraw for aromantic awareness week :))

Original from last year ↓

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a aucune personnes aroace en france, je sais que non évidemment mais en une vingtaine d'années je n'en ai jamais rencontrées...

(À part un mec ace et une fille bi ace au lycée)

Honnêtement, je me sens seul.e à cause de la pression allonormative et amanormative en ce moment parce que je suis entouré.e que de personnes allos (et horny asf, elles me mettent mal à l'aise tous les jours 💀) dont beaucoup d'entre eux sont en couple.

Ça plus la télé et les réseaux sociaux, bref, internet et les représentations des allos dans la généralité. 😒

Ça m'étouffe et le fait de n'avoir aucune personne aroace dans mon entourage pour souffler de l'air frais et se comprendre sur ce sujet est frustrant...

Et tout ça me montre à quel point je veux tellement être en relation queer platonique avec une autre personne aroace encore plus que d'habitude...

Au moins en rencontrer une et être amis serait incroyable.

Anyway, j'avais besoin d'écrire pour extérioriser !

People who don’t know what “aroace” means never understand why I like losing when I play Old Maid.

Proof That Jughead is Aromantic - Masterpost

*so we know he’s asexual in canon. but he could still feel romantic attraction!!1!1

what’s this? a screenshot from the writer’s twitter??? doesn’t prove anything. that’s just one comic. i’ll put an asterisk next to the comics by this guy to prove he’s the only one writing Juggie as aro.

i’m not convinced. that’s pretty open to interpretation; he’s probably interested

well… maybe that could mean he’s aro?

Faith

By sun.after.winter

The sides draw closer

Repulsion and longing,

Back and forth, back and forth

Tossing me out to sea

It's been so long,

Years it's been encroaching

Crawling, wave by wave, ever closer

To drown - or to fly

Do I turn back, or do I turn my back

Symbols that once meant so much -

Safety, love, hope, closeness

Now a symbol taunting me, to choose

He's god, he's love, he's hope, he's resilience

So why do I hold back?

Am I still his child?

Loveless, as I am.

Picking and choosing between his words, his laws,

Simply so I can belong?

Imagine getting so worked up over someone talking about aro/ace erasure. “I’m sick of your stupid drama” four words for you, block and move on. You WILL be okay. They are not torturing your family right in front of you.

I think you will be okay if even ONE aroace person wishes that others wouldn’t erase the rep that we BARELY even get in the first place. Stop acting pathetic and just BLOCK if it makes you act this way.

Also, on that note, what the hell? “May every (fictional) character suffer forever in a straight abusive incestuous hellscape with an age gap,” are you really that mad about this person’s post that you’re wishing characters that don’t even exist to be in a situation like that? Grow up and get a fucking life, actually, because again, you’re acting pathetic.

If you’re so tired of discourse, then fucking ignore it instead of engaging in it, because, if you didn’t know, engaging will land you in even MORE discourse!! That’s how stuff like this works!!!

Ok i already talked about this before but I’m gonna again.

Whenever people ship aroace characters IT. IS. ERASING. REP.

“But they could be gray-“ disrespectfully stfu. You wouldn’t do that with a gay character.

You wouldn’t say “But they could be bi!!!” To a gay character so you could ship them with the opposite gender. That would get you cancelled in five seconds flat. So why is it okay to essentially do the same thing with an aroace character? (And btw dont go “ermmm that does happe-“ I’M WELL AWARE IT DOES but this happens so much more to aroace characters without any consequences.)

If the aroace character DOES have a partner then sure. If the aroace character DOES show interest in dating then sure. If the aroace character is CONFIRMED grayromantic/sexual THEN SURE. BUT if it is NOT confirmed and they show ZERO interest in romance/sex then STOP. SHIPPING. THEMMMM!!!!!!

It is NOT that hard. Aroace characters don’t belong to you. It is so fucking infuriating to see people take the only rep we have and completely disregard it. Again, you wouldn’t do that with a gay character would you? You wouldn’t do that with a lesbian character either!!! So stop doing it with aroaces!!!

There is so many other characters for you to ship together. Just let us aroaces have our rep and stop disregarding it. The world will not end if you do, I promise.

Might be an omni or sapphic oriented aroace

This however is an ordeal/question for future Bagel to deal with :D

I mean… yeah

I figured out I’m asexual at around 16 and then figured out I’m aromantic as well either later in the year at 16 or at 17

I need to prove a point to my mom. Reblog if you can realize you’re asexual/aromantic in your teens.

Hahahahahahahaha; me

Bitches who are aroace and agender fr js said

Introduction

Hello!

My name's Aven (pronounced uh-ven), I'm aroace and transmasc.

I'm a writer, but I mostly write in my native language (Polish), so I won't be posting any of my works anytime soon. I might still talk about them, though!

I love poetry, anime and manga. My favorites are Sousou no Frieren (anime) and Bloom Into You (manga).

This blog is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people. I won't tolerate any form of discrimination in the comments.

@aven-main will be mostly used for personal stuff. For reblogs, check out @not-ay-vin.

Peace out!

Sometimes growing up is being given a large left boot all polished and pretty but nothing else and being told that "You'll grow into it someday." they've given you nothin' but a boot and expect you to hobble around barefoot until it fits.

So you stuff it in your drawer for that someday while walking around barefoot waiting for the day the shoe fits. It'll fit you someday. And you'll fit it back someday. Someday.

You open the drawer over and over again thinking "Maybe today is the day." but it isn't. You sit there wanting to cry because your feet are sore and tired with your skin begging to finally fall off the bone and you've been waiting for the damn shoe to fit all this time. To just fucking fit you. Fucking fit you because you were told it would and you've only those words to trust.

Years go by, and the shoe still don't fit. Either it's too big or too small for your foot. You've torn holes into it trying to force it to fit your foot and it's holding on by string and leather. It's far from the perfect boot it was when you first got it. And a whole lot closer to a single torn sole of a boot left in some small town backyard.

All you know is that it'll fit you. And you've had nothing but the focused pain in your scabbed feet to carry you around. It has to fit you. It has to. It has to or you've spent all this time waiting for it to fit and it never will. Then you focus on the never will part. Really, what if it never does? If it never does and you've spent all the time in pain waiting and waiting and waiting for nothing? Dese God you hope that's not it.

It's been decades and there's all kinds of shoe stores in your area with good boots looking real pretty in the windows. You hold out. You refuse to buy them because your boot WILL fit. It WILL. You go home and look in that drawer one last time. Dig the left boot out and put it on your begging left foot. There are two ways this can go although those two ways can lead to different things in the future. Way one, it doesn't fit. Again, it's too small or too big. You sit there frustrated because its been decades and you're not sure if the boot has decades more to go based on how worn it is. You're not sure if your feet have decades based on how worn they are. You're not sure if you have decades. Now what? Way two, it does fit. It finally fits. But, you only have a single left boot. You've waited all this time and there's no right boot to fit your worn and torn right foot. Now what?

Those two ways can lead to plenty of now whats. You waited decades for a single boot to fit you and for a single foot to fit it back. And it was all in vain. You have no shoe you can depend on now because it's all frilled leather and frayed lace that's one try on away from turning into dust. And it was all in vain. You wonder for the rest of your life about that boot. There'll be plenty of other boots and but they'll never be that boot. Solace is both found and not found.

That's it. Sometimes your childhood is a boot that you're waiting to fit so bad it becomes a religion and that's all you have to go off of. This is a 10:38 rant so yeah. Yeah that's it.

I will never understand the narrative that people have to stay the same throughout their life when it comes to orientations and identities.

Hey, it's almost like people change constantly and things don't have to be set in stone?

Isn't the expectation that we change and stay changing since we have plenty of life lived and unlived?

People can be queer and not have their identities be forever, cishet people always question about whether queer people are sure about it or if they'll change their mind and it's like, maybe, so what? How is that the worst thing? When it comes to genderqueer people most understand surgery and what it means in the long run but so what? What's it to you, the person that isn't in their skin? Dear gods give it a rest.

as an aroace i will forget that being attracted to people is normal until someone else mentions it and it shocks me into silence

Did any other aroace people not care about love. Like love and relationships were nothing to you until like primary school or high school where people started to talk about crushes and then the pressure hit you? Because I remember before all that I couldn't have care less and I know I'm aroace now but because of all those pressures it's hard to let go of the idea of having a relationship and a partner? Like I've become obsessed over it even though i'm aroace and know that at one point I didn't care about it. Maybe it's just me.

can you get the demifamilial flag from my sona? and the aroace flag?
