This makes sense, considering how only about 1-2% of the population identify as aroace. The thing is tho, we are out there! I’ve met multiple people through pride events and other things in my life.
aroace people really said "the closet? no no no, i'm gonna hide in caves, in the woods and even underneath rocks, i'm gonna be the best damn hide and seek player in the world" because i have yet to find one aroace person in real life
YES! Absolutely. Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot - Agatha Christie gave us two amazing aroace detectives but no one is talking about it.
Dear aroace community please show these two some love
Aroace miss Marple. Is this anything?
As an aroace, I love being in relationships with fellow aros/aces. QPRs? Gimme dat. Chef's kiss. Literal perfection. A gift from God and the heavens themselves. Soft romo? That's my limit; however, it's very pleasant, and bfyuowhbdjacbhdbchiud. Gimme.
I need to thank whoever invented these terms, because I love my queerplatonic partner and my soft romo partner sm, and I absolutely can't handle default society romance and relationships. Gimme dat aro-friendly one-on-one lifelong partnership, please. I've always wanted partnership growing up, but I never liked the idea of spicy things or romance (for the most part), since that's just the kind of aroace that I am and always have been. Makes me happy non-normative relationship types are a thing hehehehbheafheoabfvd Anyways Fictional romance is hot (because it ain't real)
I made a post about a really small portion of the aromantic community who felt in love once in their life. Because an aromantic person feels no OR low romantic attraction, this means that even if it is just once we can still feel it and this should not be invalidated.
I opened my tumblr and there were two questions in my inbox, which is weird. I open it and see this:
I could make a post about why they're wrong and how ignorant this was. But they are so cowardly that they don't even let themselves be known after leaving such an unnecessary and stupid comment in the question box of a person who was just sharing an experience for a small group in a small community.
Yeah. I could, but I'm not going to worry about it. Anonymous, know that this didn't result in anything and you wasted your time. For those of you who fell in love and are part of the aroace community, you will continue to be one of us. Because aromantic is someone who feels little OR no romantic attraction. You can still feel this, it will just take time and it will probably only happen once.
In case you're wondering this is the post in question:
Kisses and hugs to all aromantic people out there.
