bio lyrics from no lover by jetty bones

[infiniteorangethethird]

being loveless does suck sometimes but less bc of some "ohnooo I'll never be able to loooove what will I ever doooo" bs but because how the hell do you tell the ppl around you that you view all relationships as business transactions where the currency is care and support and the reward is trust? How do you tell someone "hey so I could not care less about you as a person but also I enjoy every second we spend together and I'd fight the universe for you if you asked and if you ever disappeared I probably wouldn't miss you but I'd still cry for all the things we never got to experience together" without being the asshole?

Aromantic hierarchy of NEEDS

I saw a post about someone having a dream about their friends caring more about their romantic partners than about them. They continued with how prioritization is inevitable and how the love an aromantic can have for someone who’s allo can even feel unrequited because you’re just a friend to them.

Dude I GET THIS! I have a friend currently who wishes to have a romantic partner in the future and it does hurt a bit to know that I’ll never be prioritized that way by said friend. I’ve explained my aromanticism to them before but they also didn’t really seem to get it. The disconnect between allos and aromantics is still distant because of amatonormativity. It’s crazy to think about how I will never be enough for the friends I have because they’re not aromantic and view the world differently. I tried explaining this to my sister and she didn’t even get it either!

That’s why I was thinking about recently how it is absolutely NECESSARY for an aromantic to have at least ONE aromantic friend. I don’t know any aro’s irl sadly. But I feel like if I met one the immediate understanding that we would be enough for each other would be tear-inducing. It’s really something that allos won’t be able to understand but aromantics will immediately get. I would be infinitely happier to have an aro friend and understand that we are enough for each other. The type of love that currently can’t be achieved with allos and one that I especially can’t achieve with the current friends I have.

“Well it’s not just mainstream music, aren’t ALL songs about sex and relationships if you really think about it—“ Absolutely the fuck not. I just listened to a song about being buried alive and one about pirates battling a giant squid. Listen to more weird music immediately

"Loveless marriage" except in a joyous, loveless aromantic way instead of a miserable amatonormative way.

[cum-villain]

#that's... not loveless though#listen in marriage you inevitably spend a lot of time around each other#if you enjoy doing that#it's because you love each other#in some way#romance as we know it is a relatively new invention#but people have loved each other since forever

it is loveless when at least party does not love. what makes a good relationship is being caring and respectful, and that is fulfilled, even if i am not loved platonically or romantically. being a loveless aromantic doesnt make that person nonpartnering.

[aromantic-diaries]

Today I thought to myself. What if I'm not 100% aromantic and maybe I'd be open to having a commited close non-sexual relationship with another person. As long as it doesn't involve kissing. Or holding hands. Or any gestures of physical affection that are explicitly romantic. Or seeing eachother through rose colored lenses. Or pet names. Or endless devotion to one another that is somehow above anything else in our lives.

Basically a relationship that lacks any component that people associate with romance and consists of hanging out and being there for eachother with absolutely zero implications of romance

Yeah that checks out I'm 100% aromantic

[pacificseaotter]

genuinely think everyone would benefit from learning about aromanticism and relationship anarchy. even straight, allosexual, alloromantics. because amatonormativity affects everyone, and learning about relationship anarchy and redefining how you think about relationships is so freeing. youcan do whatever you want 4ever.

Happy First Aromantic Vsibility Day!

So happy for everyone on the aromantic spectrum to have a visibility day, I hope it will help everyone to know more about it and to feel safe and supported!

May amatonormativity be just an unpleasant memory soon o/

[untitled52969]

just wanted to remind everyone that aromantic or arospec people who do feel romantic attraction are completely valid!!!!!! they are arospec and we shouldn’t exclude them from aromantic spaces! the definition of aromantic is ‘little to no romantic attraction’!!!!
