help a transboy escape his abusive household

Hey everyone, I figured I should probably make a post about this because my situation is pretty urgent and I’m gonna need some help. Long story short, I’m being abused by both my parents and as the holidays approach yet again, it’s getting super dangerous for me to be where I’m at. To describe my everyday life, here’s a google doc of all the abuse that goes down and is getting more frequent. I have a plan to try and get out around new years eve (this year, 1/1/18) because it’s probably the safest point to try, but I only have about $100 dollars, give or take.  I want to try to move down to Texas with my s/o and get an apartment, but we don’t have enough money to just yet and I can’t stay here without risking my own life. The apartments in the area we’re looking at are pretty cheap since they’re by a college, but we’ll need probably $200 more. If you can donate to my s/o’s paypal (i dont have one bc my parents), we’d appreciate it so much, this is the best gift i could get. Even if you can’t donate, please reblog this so more people will see and hopefully will be able to donate. 

paypal.me/AdairCrow is the link to the paypal.

Thank you, and happy holidays. 💖

Black acespecs and arospecs are wonderful 💚

Black acespecs and arospecs deserve comfy blankets and good dreams 🌜

[romance-repulsed-aros]

Hey, shout out to all the black aromantics out there.

Being aromantic is often seen as something monstrous and horrible, and as black people are stereotyped as ‘dangerous’ and ‘scary’, the combination can be difficult.

I promise none of these things apply to you. Being both black and aromantic is an outstanding, beautiful thing that makes the world better. You’re not terrifying or dangerous or heartless. You’re not a monster. You’re not an evil being that everyone needs to avoid. Aromanticism doesn’t equal bad and especially not when you’re black.

You’re aromantic. You’re black. And you’re awesome.

Hello!!

Hi, I’m in the process of making an a-spec webcomic. Where all the main characters are on the ace and aro spectrum. This comic is aiming for representation and awareness. So, I could use your help.

Since asexuality and aromanticism is a spectrum. If you feel comfortable sharing your experiences with me (how you came to identify as ace/aro/demi/a-spec, coming out, and anything else that you feel like sharing regarding your a-spec identity) I would greatly appreciate that.

Please contact me @therunelibrary

I highly desire for this work to have something that every a-spec person can personally relate too. While also spreading awareness.

I can’t share the details of what the comic will be about (there is a spell book, some ghosts, and a small town involved).

[therunelibrary]

Hello!!

An update, I have 37 personal stories so far. I want to thank everyone that has shared with me. But I still could use more from Demi, Recipro, Alterous, Bellus, Cupio, Quoi, Akoi/Lith, sex-positive and sex-repulsed individuals. I just really want to be able to hear your story, so don’t fret about contacting me.

[therunelibrary]

Hey!!

Reminder that my message box is still open and always is. Looking for fray-romantic/sexual, non-Amory,  bellus-romantic/sexual, quio, recipro and any other a-spec individuals that would like to share their experience with me for the purpose of writing the comic.  Thank you!

yo dude you need arospec mods? I'd be interested what you looking for?

Yes I do indeed need mods, and will gladly accept your application through this link. It states the standards I have and the rules a moderator has to follow to be a moderator.

aros, don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re not capable of love. there’s more to love than romance, and aphrodite knows it. she smiles on your qprs, binding you to another just as any romantic relationship would. she sends you love in the form of stray cats purring at your touch, through deep, intimate, sexual connections, no strings attached, through friends and family members. those of you who enter romantic relationships she welcomes with open arms.

[medweds]

Aromantics who experience sexual attraction are valid and good.

Japanese a-spec people are so cool! Japanese aces and aros are amazing, Japanese demis are pure awesome, Japanese grey-aces and grey-aros are the greatest, and everyone else who is Japanese and on the a-spectrum is perfect in every single way! We’re incredibly proud of Japanese a-spec people; you’re all the coolest and we’re proud to have people like you in our communities!

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

Reminder to aromantic people who aren’t interested in or are repulsed by romance. You’re not missing out.

I’m here for the aromantics who recoil at the word “love.”

I’m here for the aromantics who seek out relationships, because they fear isolation rather than crave romantic connections. 

I’m here for the aromantics who are isolated and alone, unable to form any kind of connection with others. 

I’m here for the aromantics who can’t divorce their aromanticism from trauma. 

I’m here for the aromantics whose most meaningful connections are sexual, but who are repeatedly referred to as “heartless” and “slut.”

I’m here for the aromantics who operate like robots, moving through life mechanically, analytically, and “unfeeling.”  

I’m here for the aromantics who want to die every time the message of True Love Cures All is woven into books and movies.  

I’m here for the aromantics who are not nice. 

I’m here for the aromantics labelled “heart breaker” over and over, yet feel lost and confused when they’re abandoned for being unable to “commit.”

I’m here for the aromantics who are villainized for being aromantic, because “love” is good and pure and ultimately: “human.”

Are you there, too?
