Happy International Asexual Day! The day where we grow 80% stronger and garlic bread becomes our only substance. (But not literally. Please eat some food and drink water. Stay safe and fend off the aphobes)
How do I politely tell someone that I’m aroace?
There’s this guy in my class that has a crush on me. (There are very obvious signs and I’ve heard his friends talking about how he likes me). I’m friends with this guy and I value his friendship dearly, so I want to be as nice as possible. I really hate to let anyone, especially such a dear friend, down, but I just can’t stand the idea of me being in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.
Do I wait until he confesses that he likes me and then let him down?? Do I casually mention it in a conversation and let him figure it out?? Do I just…not tell him?? I don’t know what to do!! Does anyone have any advice, please?!
Bro.I think that we as a society should make a term for pansexual aroace’s - people who have little to no sexual and romantic to other people but think everyone, regardless of gender, looks aesthetically pretty.
I don’t know, man. I just feel like a lot of aroace’s thought they were pan at first because they thought everyone was equally aesthetic. At least in my case, I thought everybody was pretty, but I didn’t feel any romantic or sexual attraction to others. I just feel like having a term for it would be a little bit helpful. Or maybe we should just spread the information that this is a normal experience. I don’t really know. 🤷🫠
I’m just about to come out to my parents. I said (posted) earlier that I already told them I was Ace, but I feel like they kinda forgot about it. Plus, this time, I’m going to come out as AroAce and genderfluid. (I know I said I was demifluid, but I realizes otherwise.) Hope and pray for me. I’m pretty sure they’ll accept me (at least the AroAce part), but I don’t know about the Gender-fluid part. They’ve made some transphobic remarks before, so I’m super effin’ nervous. I’ll update later on, after I come out.
Sorry love, the only thing fucking me is LIFE
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Nico, but he gets kinda confusing, because on one hand you have:
This little grumpy ball of darkness; the son of Hades, and the Ghost King:
And on the other hand you have “Death Boy”, who had his boyfriend make a note so he can stay by his side, who was obsessed with a card game until he was 10, who uses his boyfriend as a nightlight (that one was just a head cannon):
I've been hearing a lot about this one dude calling Autism an "epidemic" and that he was going to "fix it".
But, that doesn't really seem right to me, I guess? I don't know if it's a hot take, or if people will agree, but it doesn't make sense. Autism is just something that people have. Sure, it can make them harder to deal with, but that's really just humanity. If you're not willing to adapt to make someone else comfortable with something they can't control, then leave the party. Don't be mad that they're there. It's like being mad that there's fish when you're standing in a lake. Calling autism an "epidemic" makes it seem like it's some sort of disease that needs to be cured. Therefore implying that the people with autism are in a lesser state of being than you are. Nobody's less than another - not for just existing, anyways. You only drop down to a monster when you do something despicable for fun when you had the option to not do it.
Autism isn't a disease or pandemic. It's life, it's natural. Don't force someone to conform to only your weird ideas. That's a terrible way to live. Just because someone is different doesn't mean they should be eradicated. Learn to accept it, man.
May I humbly and respectfully propose an alternative:

My (nonexistent) friends: “So are you gay or straight?”
Me an aro/ace: “…yes?”
