Making Ace memes bc it’s ace week

[raavenb2619]

[ID: The solidarity meme. Five people form a circle by holding on to the wrist of the person in front of them. Their wrists are labelled “sex favorable aces”, “sex repulsed aces”, “sex indifferent aces”, “aces whose feelings about sex fluctuate, are dependent on the situation, or otherwise can’t easily be placed in a consistent category”, and “aces who aren’t sure how they feel about sex”. In the middle, their hands are all labelled “supporting each other”. End ID]

[good--bye--binary]

[raavenb2619]

[ID: At the top, text reads “Everyone: when you’re older you’ll want to be in a relationship :)”, and on the next line, “Me, an aroace:”. Below is a picture of John Mulaney saying “and then I didn’t.” End ID]

God to Angel: Did you make them a romantic, like I asked?

Angel: ... you told me to make them aromantic

God: A ROMANTIC...

Angel: AROMANTIC

If this isn’t an aroace mood I don’t know what is

4am hot take from your local alloaro: you can't support us if you don't make an effort to unlearn sex negativity, especially in regards to sex outside of long-term relationships

there's nothing inherently wrong or less valuable about sex with a friend, casual sex, one-night stands, etc—sex isn't morally wrong for not happening between two committed romantic (or queerplatonic) partners and insisting that it is is amatonormative and arophobic

@shades-of-grayro I just want to say thank you so much for making this fantastic resource. It’s the best concise explanation of QPRs I’ve seen, and I call on it so often that I have the link pinned to my phone clipboard

[shades-of-grayro]

You’re welcome!

Honestly, that other graphic (you know the one) was the motivation for making this. It sucked that something so incorrect was at the top of the notes if you searched queerplatonic on tumblr, and so I made this (with some help from friends) to compete with it.

Me, unaware that sexual attraction is a thing: Ah yes I find humans of all genders to be pretty I must be Pan!

Me, upon discovering that sexual attraction is a thing: Oh… I suppose not

[avenpt]

Ditto.

This week is Bisexual Awareness Week, so here is a comic about what being bisexual might mean to bisexuals! Also, some other identities!

[prismatic-bell]

QUEER

THEY ADDED QUEER

I WANT TO CRY WITH FUCKING JOY

[deathcomes4u]

This is a really good explanation of the current state of these labels.

[rainbow-oppossum]

This is so good. I freaked out a bit at the first definition of bi because it seemed to mean that bi is exclusive, but I’m so glad they included different definitions

[strangestofquarks]

I love this! Also, I just wanted to mention thst queer (which is an excellent catch-all term that I think should absolutely be given some more time in the spotlight) isn’t the only label non-binary people who are only attracted to one gender have to use. For example, a non-binary person whose agab is female and who realized they were attracted solely to women a few years before realizing they weren’t a woman themselves might decide to keep the lesbian label simply because it doesn’t bother them and it’s an easy way to communicate to others who they’re into. Point is, labels are simply about how to describe yourself in a way that gets your message across amd feels like you, and there are lots of ways to do that, none of which is the most ‘right,’ and one label can have many different interpretations.

This comic has been going around a lot this week for some reason. I appreciate the above comment! There could easily be an entire comic just about about how non-binary trans people approach sexual orientation labels. The person in my comic might also use the label gynephilic, which means you are attracted to women (regardless of what your own gender identity is). Here’s a nice academic article about how sexual orientation labels don’t work very well for lots of trans people: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304531868_The_labels_don’t_work_very_well_Transgender_individuals’_conceptualizations_of_sexual_orientation_and_sexual_identity I also kind of love all the reblog comments about how my art looks unnerving or like a parody. I do not actually enjoy drawing, I just love comics. If you are a good artist and want to collaborate, hit me up.

(1.)How do I tell if I feel platonicly or Alterously to someone? (2.) Can i have alterous crushes? (3.) Can I have alterous attraction if I also expeince Romantic and/or sexual attraction? (4.) How do you balance a alterous releationship and a romantic relationship at the same time when you're polyamorous

Please awnser ASAP

Sorry, tumblr didn't show me a notification for this

1. I can't tell you anything else besides my experience, but the way i usually differentiate platonic feelings from alterous ones is by thinking what i want from the other person.

Do i have a strong pull to be with this person, so much so that i would be happy living with them and sharing everything together but not romantically? Alterous. Am i perfectly happy just meeting this person sometimes and have fun together but i don't really see myself living with them etc? Platonic.

2. Yes! Though the name for those is slipping from my mind at the moment

3. Yes. Alterous attraction is separate from the other kinds of attraction, and having one does not exclude the possibility of experiencing the other.

4. Unfortunately I can't answer this, as i have no experience in the dating field, much less in a polyamorous relationship

All those Ace Jessica Rabbit posts are my absolute favourites ♥

[thehumorousace]

This!! Is!! My favorite!!!!

[acejokes]

Love this!!

[cutekermit]

reminder that it’s perfectly normal to question your gender identity and change your labels/pronouns. you are not weird or strange. you’re valid. and you are loveable no matter what.

[captainrandomstranger18]

well that explains it

*loses me gender to the plague*

[asexualfitzroy]

I can and will romanticize my aroace life. I can and will believe that I have found the best lifestyle for myself. When I am alone, when I am out in the world, passing bakeries and stopping to stare at pools of water and flipping through funny birthday cards in the convenience store, I feel loved. I feel like the world was made for me, specifically. The universe has collaborated to make this one moment for me, alone at a bus stop at 2am, spinning a Pokestop under a dark sky.

My aroace experience has been loving my friends with all my heart, yes. But it's also been loving my existence, loving where my feet take me when I go for long walks, loving my own presence, a steady and reliable calm.

I am never lonely, never, not ever, least of all when I'm alone.

*after creating me* God to Angel: hey Angel, did you give them a sexuality, like I asked? Angel: ...you told me to give them... asexuality God: ...A. SEXUALITY... Angel: ...ASEXUALITY...
