“you’re going to make someone very happy one day”
but that’s always how it goes, isn’t it? its seems as though my destiny is to make others happy. but what about me? why can’t i make myself happy for once?
Fandom will fight to the death to make sure gay and lesbian characters aren’t in hetero ships, which is wonderful and absolutely what should happen, don’t get me wrong, but then an aro character pops up and suddenly it’s “they could be gray/demi/queerplatonic to fit the amatonormative narrative” and suddenly all that defensive, validating energy is gone. Where did it go?
RALLY THE TROOP MEN! WE MUST KEEP THIS GOING, BARE MINIMUM THROUGH TOMORROW!
Guys we need to have the aromantic and asexual tags still trending by Valentine's day. It'd be funny, more importantly very meaningful for the aspec community!!
Aspec representation is important because kids are still told in health class that everyone feels attraction
Aspec representation is important because somewhere in the world there’s a 12 year old crying because they feel broken
Aspec representation is important because I still get told “that’s not real” when I come out
Aspec representation is important because people still think the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally
Aspec representation is important because everyone deserves to see someone like them on screen
Aspec representation is important because people still think that asexual and aromantic are the same thing
Aspec representation is important
Does anyone else feel guilty or bad about feeling sexual attraction towards people you don't have romantic attraction for? For example I'm Gay Demiromantic but Omni Demisexual, I can have sexual attraction to women but not romantic attraction to them. And I know I would feel so guilty if I ever had attraction to a woman enough to want to go out with them because I wouldn't be able to date them. It would just feel like I was using them even if everything is communicated correctly, they know full well I can't date them and are okay with it. I know you can't choose who you're attracted to or how you're attracted to them but feel so guilty and don't know what to do.
in honor of pride month, here's MY aroace flag. bc i don't like the orange and blue
Arospec shifters who are tired of the shifting community's obsession with s/os where y'all at???
gritting teeth yeah man whatever jake english whatever whatever what ever
fandoms are actually so bad in terms of respecting aromantic and asexual people. the blatant disregard for us in a culture that prioritizes shipping at the expense of the content is so disheartening esp when those same fandoms are applauded for being so queer. you cant have a queer space if its not going to accept that theres more to people than their ability to be in relationships because that is the same mindset that leads to aphobia
A-SPECS RISE UP!!! GO FOR THE THROATS!!
'Your tumblr crush-' please don't do this to me I'm quite literally aRO—

pls throw your awkward ace experiences in the tags i love them
Be officially ended things.
It went as well as expected ig
Definitely broke their heart though
Just found out my qpp has been waiting to see if I’d eventually develop feelings for them.
Our entire qpr. They’ve been holding out on a chance that I’d change.
It’s not on them at all. I just feel like a cunt that lead them on now fuckkkkk
I don’t know what to do
