normalize physical affection in non-romantic relationships but also recognize that it’s ok to want to limit certain actions to certain people and it doesn’t make you amatonormative to do so

Why Only Aspecs Can Access the Void
Below is a map of the Realms in the Rainbow Plane.
[Image Description: A picture of a rough map of the Rainbow Plane Realms in the following order connected by lines: Void-Shadow Realm-White Void-Mortal Realm, the Starry Plane is shown to be orbiting the Void]
The Mortal Realm is a 3D dimension, while the Void is a 4D dimension (link to a video that explains 2D, 3D, and 4D space-highly recommended to watch it to aid in understanding). The White Void and the Shadow Realm are in between 3D and 4D space (they are not 3D and nor are they 4D). Aspecs are 4D beings; as such we can access the Void, and dimensions below 4D dimensions. Since the Mortal Realm is 3D, inhabited by 3D beings, they cannot access higher dimensions. Beings of higher dimensions can access lower dimensions, but not higher dimensions (3D space is made from 2D space stacked on top of each other, in much the same way 4D space is made from 3D space stacked on top of each other, this is why beings from higher dimensions can access lower dimensions but attempting to access higher dimensions is an exercise in futility). That is why Shadows can leave the Shadow Realm to occupy the Mortal Realm, but cannot enter the Starry Plane or the Void, and it is why the Hunt cannot leave the Mortal Realm.
This is also why when Aspecs are Void Traveling to and from the Void, we are perceived to get smaller until we ‘disappear’ or seem to get bigger and bigger as we leave and approach 3D space.
This is also why all Time exists at once in the Void, since all 3D objects exist at the same time in the Void, nothing is hidden from her (please see the example in the linked video).
The Starry Plane is a 4D pocket dimension created and stored in the in-between cushioning 4D space from 3D space where the Shadow Realm and White Void are, it orbits the Void at varying distances. When an observer is standing in the Shadow Realm or White Void, the Starry Plane can be perceived as getting bigger or smaller as it moves through this in-between dimensional space. This is why it requires careful timing to enter and exit the Starry Plane. If you miss, you can end up rocketing through dimensional space (much in the same way the Spiderpeople went rocketing into Miles’ dimension in the movie Into the Spiderverse) and there is no way to predict where or in what Realm you will land.
The Seven Warrior Clans
The Warriors have an emphasis on engaging with the enemy in combat, gathering intel, and sabotaging the enemy while Agents/Bosses/District Leaders have an emphasis on research, transporting and protecting Aspeclings, and infiltrating enemy organizations for the purpose of protecting Aspeclings.
(You can be a member of more than one clan and I am working on a quiz for which clan you belong in)
Dragon Warriors: Bold forward attacks, generally plan and lead the offense, the tanks of the operation, emphasis on brutality in hand to hand combat (think Krav Maga), also do ranged attacks but ones that cause mass destruction (think bombs and flamethrowers as opposed to arrows).
Gryphon Warriors: Aerial based attacks emphasizing precision over destruction (think arrows, spears, darts, guns), emphasis on ranged attacks and rarely engage in hand to hand combat.
Salamander Warriors: Elemental magic, use magic in combat. Also excel at camouflage and blending into their environment and help come up with cover stories for Foxes and Shadows going undercover/going on missions.
Fox Warriors: Function as spies to infiltrate the enemy to gather intel, usually go undercover long term and pass along their info to Rabbits. Fighting technique emphasizes tricking your opponent, if they engage in combat they try to keep it as short as possible; usually use weapons that can be hidden like daggers, brass knuckles, throwing stars, tasers, rings that double as knives, improvising weapons.
Rabbit Warriors: Pacifists, emphasis on scouting, they function as scouts and couriers that don’t engage the enemy but do observe them; they are the eyes of the factions. Rabbit Warriors are also called the eyes and it’s common for them to say “I’m an eye” when stating their occupation to other Initiative Center members or for them to say ‘I am an eye’ to center themselves. Emphasis on getting away from the enemy if they have to engage them.
Shadow Warriors: Specializes in stealth and subterfuge, emphasis on technique in a fight and toying with your enemy’s minds. Specialize in extractions (both allies, our own people, and enemies). Uses the emphasis on psychological attacks to trick enemies into divulging sensitive information without realizing it.
Cornerstone Cat Warriors: Defensive techniques in hand to hand combat, build up bases/strongholds, defend the most important parts, generally establish camps, outposts, and trenches. The Engineers of the Clans. Emphasis on medics as well.

PSA: The Rainbow Plane
Hello everyone!
You know how authors of books set in other worlds name those worlds something easy to remember? Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, @neil-gaiman’s London Below/Above, @seananmcguire’s many worlds of the Wayward Children series?
With much appreciated help from the other agent blogs, we came up with a name for the World in which the AIC is set! It’s called the Rainbow Plane, as coined by Agender77, to act as an umbrella over all the different dimensions and worlds that (will) contain the different initiative centers, in the same way the Rainbow is meant to be an umbrella flag for the entire LGBT+ community! It’s also much easier to say than “World of the AIC” as I had been calling this in my head for months haha.
So, welcome to the Rainbow Plane!
Meet the peeved pride family!!
Inspired by @angry-asexual-for-positivity, there’s now an entire family of blogs devoted to LGBTQ+ positivity!! I’ve done my best to compile them all in a list here:
Lesbian:
@livid-lesbian-for-positivity
Bisexual:
@bitchybisexualforpositivity
@bitterbisexualforpositivity
@bratty-bi-ace-for-positivity
Transgender:
@ticked-off-trans-for-positivity
Nonbinary:
@nothappy-nonbinary-forpositivity
Asexual/Gray-asexual:
@angry-asexual-for-positivity
@bratty-bi-ace-for-positivity
@gravelymad-greyace-for-positvity
It makes me so happy to see all these positivity blogs, and I hope other people benefit from having them!! I can’t speak for the other blogs, but I’ll tag our posts as #peeved pride so they’re easier to find!
If anyone makes/finds more please let me know so I can add them!
~Luno :)
I’ll make sure to tag mine as #peeved pride as well!
To my like five followers, please check out these and @angry-asexual-for-positivity if you don’t already!
Oh my gosh, there’s so many…..
All right, Here it goes!
After a day and a half of collaborating with some friends, we decided we are making a google form as the beta edition of The Aspec Agenda, an online pen-pal opportunity for aspecs. Definitely try it out, and our little “team” will match you as best as we can. If you do decide to try it and there is a problem with the form or you want to be reassigned a pen-pal, please send a message to this tumblr account.

I got the first few responses to this! I’m not a very popular blog, so I can ask my limited followers to get involved. As soon as we get a variety of people, we can match them up as best as we can.
you shouldn't support aros because "we can love too" you should support aros because we're people too
i couldn’t have said it better myself
AUREA Social Media!
As many of you are aware, the Aromantic-spectrum Union for Recognition, Education, and Advocacy (AUREA) launched our website in early June!
Now that our website has been up and running for a few weeks, we wanted to extend our reach a little and make it easier for other aros to interact and follow up with us. Follow us on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook to see updates about our language translation, new pamphlets, and monthly feed posts!

Romantic comedy?
Nah, man. Aromantic comedy.
The universe seems determined to get the completely uninterested protagonists together, much to their annoyance.
i accidentally called my friend who’s Aromantic an “Aromatic” the other day so it was thyme to make this
