I feel the heart is the most aromantic organ. I know what your think but hear me out.
Most people associate the heart with love, and this is mainly because of the love heart shape (which is actually to do with love) has the same name as the organ.
But the shape actually originally comes from the Silphium's seedpod plant which was seen as a herb of love and sex, it was also used as an early form of birth control. The plant was the put on ancient Cyrene money.
Anyway, in reality in the brain controls love. The feeling of love is controlled by three hormones, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. The brain controls the secretion of all hormones, and the glands of all three of these hormones are in the brain (except dopamine which can come from the the hypothalamus, in the brain, and the adrenal glands, above kidneys).
In reality the only effect love has on the heart is that it can speed up your pulse (how fast the heart bets), but that is true for way to many other things for it to be considered a connection, non one every relates being scared, angry or stressed to the heart (unless for medical reasons as lots stress can cause the blood vessel to narrow).
But despite the heart (organ) having nothing to do with love, romance or sex, it is seen as such and those things are forced on it. As an aromantic person I think that’s quite relatable.
The first three chapters are up 🎉.

(There was a poll but I couldn’t fit it in the screen shot)
(Also there’s now 3 chapters written)
But I forgot to add tags so nobody saw it and hence it got no votes
So I’m making a new poll this one with tags
Random fact: during the 40 punk was slang for ‘an effeminate gay man, or the younger partner in a homosexual relationship’. To simplify its kinda like the World War Two version of twink.
Anyway here’s a completely unrelated scene form Captain America the First Avenger:
Or they make a sequel and we all be like “the first one was better”
No, no, NO! You don’t understand! If they were going to make a movie called “Goncharov” it would have to be a modern REBOOT of the 1973 film. Then everyone would have the right to consume the media while simultaneously complaining about how “it isn’t as good as the original” or “I can’t BELIEVE that they left out the iconic part XYZ”. We get to watch the film and preserve the original. Everyone wins.
Anyone else listen to idea of her by cavetown and related to it but you weren’t sure why and have now realised that you’re aspec or just me?
Anything or anything?
Asexuals and aromantics are actually allowed to do anything they want forever, and it's okay if allo people don't "get it". You don't need to be the perfect aro or ace in order to be aro or ace, I pinky swear
