Happy aro-spec week 🎉
i think theres something very special and joyous about people. like having little interactions and things. i dont know how to word it but like yeah. and im specifically not talking abt friendship or romance or anything i think theres something very wonderful abt being strangers also. i think theres a special whimsical joy in such a short-lived interactions. like playing videogames. when ur in a silly shooter like rivals or overwatch and u start jumping and ur teammates join in or u make friends with an enemy or something and u have a lovely time but after that match ur never gonna see them again and thats ok. and mmos especially like i remember a more experienced player seeing me and healing me and sticking around for a bit to help keep me up whilst i beat some enemies for quests. and when im playing healer and i just hit Random people with healing spells even when they dont need it and sometimes they wave and i wave or they jump and then theyre gone and thats that and i think thats ok i think thats great. not every interaction needs to end up in a lifelong friendship. theres joy in the short and brief too. theres kindness and whimsy and good things and it doesnt have to be love or friendship or anything it can just be a thing that happens and thats still cool. its still such a nice little thing. theres a joy in coexistence, in helping others youll never see again, in hitting a wave emote and receiving one in turn. in sitting down and having strangers join you. in knowing somebody, though not really at all, for just a brief few minutes before theyre off with the wind. video games are so awesome to me. idk does any of this make any sense idk i wanna sleep. but yeah. so much coolness in the world and it doesnt even need to have anything related to love and friendship and things. there are leaves that change colour and there are gentle breezes and there are endless positive but brief interactions and there are the comfort of blankets and bed and there are plushies and stuffed animals and yeah. life is cool

we are all valid and we belong in this community no matter what anyone says. we deserve pride too.
I'm not gonna lie, mashing most of our holes together is kinda weird. Like- any damages caused while doing that has gotta be voiding our warranty.
what’s the point of the “aro and ace ppl aren’t oppressed!!” card to exclude us?
like first of all, aros and aces ARE oppressed in such an amatonormative world, but even if we weren’t, isn’t it the biggest goal of the lgbtq+ community to not be oppressed one day? we want a world where gay and lesbian people are no longer oppressed, which is a great thing, but when that happens, are we suddenly going to drop them from the community just because they “aren’t oppressed anymore”?
since when has oppression played a part in whether or not someone is queer?? trans women tend to get more shit than trans men even though both are severely oppressed, so are the former somehow more queer than the latter? last time i checked, the answer was, and still is, no...
if you aren’t allocishet, then you can consider yourself a member of the lgbtq+ community; not because of the oppression you face, but because you deviate from the allonormative, amatonormative, monormative, cisnormative, or heteronormative structures of society. period
I know I have a good few aspec followers so I'm curious
(Love to hear about other types these are just some of the more common experiences I've seen repeated.)
(If more than one applies just pick the one that affected you more or was more prominent)
Tell your friends and family you love them!!!!!!
No matter what your sexuality or romantic orientation is, nothing is guaranteed. The allo people who say that you’ll die alone because your ace/aro have just as much of a chance at dying alone as you do.
May not feel sexual/romantic attraction but that doesn’t mean we don’t exist
A lil compilation of ace pride artwork I’ve made over the past year! 💜
Reminder that it's international asexuality day eve, so don't forget to leave milk and cake slices out tonight for all your local aces
I hate you allosexuals who infantilize asexual people I hate you allosexuals who act like I’m a fluffy asexual kitten you found on the side of the road I hate you allosexuals who ask me weird questions about sex because I’m asexual I hate you allosexuals who act like asexuality is a mental illness I hate you allosexuals who want me to tell you that you aren’t shallow for liking sex I hate you I hate you I hate you
!!! this me
i realized that the lesbian + aro flags have the same number of stripes so here. either an aro lesbian flag or a lesbian / aro solidarity flag!
this is fucking real.
I will remove pieces of fuzz from your clothing, gemptly bite your cheek without using my teeth, nuzzle you and purr and coo after being separated for the unholy amount of time that is five minutes.
rb if your primary love language or one of your primary love languages is physical touch and has nothing to do with sex.
i mean physical touch like hand holding, picking the lint and hair off of each other’s clothing, hair ruffling, hugs, random high fives, etc.
happy pride month to all the

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! No matter where you are in the world, you are seen, recognized, and loved!
seeing my friends get into relationships/situationships around me is so weird like, what do you mean you actually want all that stuff?? werent we talking about cool books a while back and how we will live in a mansion together as besties forever together?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERES A MAN IN THE EQUATION??
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE A LOVE OF LIFE-
And in a more serious vein, when that happens- you simply stop being the first priority. For allo people, their relationship will always be that. the top priority. And that. that my friends, is the only part about being aromantic I always hate. "Everyones falling in love and im just falling behind."
Thought of this while taking a walk in park and listening to Conan Gray...
As more and more time passes, I feel more and more attached to the few representations in media we have. Being on a-spec is awesome in its own way, but I only wish if I could see more of it in media. Not because I wanna feel seen. But because I wanna see what future might look like for someone on a-spec who doesn't want any sort of partnership. I saw some posts earlier talking about how a "single" life is extremely hard to sustain in current economy and that's extremely true. I also remember my friend saying "you can always adopt kids! You need someone to look after you in old age!" And... she was somewhat right, in a way. I don't want kids, but... what exactly is my future going to be like? Who is going to be there for me in a world where romantic relationships are prioritized before anything else? Its just all very very... in dark. There is no movie or book to look at and say "hey! Thats the kind of life I want!" Because every single media shows a version of life that isn't for me. I talk to my friends about wanting to live as a "single queer cat lady" but... realistically, how sustainable and possible is that?
valentines day is almost over aros we attack at dawn
