Daniel Sloss- “Jigsaw”

ROMANTIC LOVE IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN PLATONIC LOVE!!!

[bisexualshakespeare]

[Image description: Images of Daniel Sloss doing a stand up routine from a Netflix special. He says: “My best friend in the whole wide world is a woman called Jean. We’ve been best friends for about eight or nine years. A lot of people don’t believe it’s platonic, but it is, the idea of each other naked makes us both very sad. But we love each other, we do, we’ve just been together through most things. Two months into my relationship with my ex-girlfriend, she was like, “Sometimes, I feel like you love Jean more than me.” And I was like, “Baby, no! … All the time! Every hour of every day I love her more than I love you. Because she’s put the ground work in. You don’t get to suck a dick and go number one, you sociopath.” End description]

I think some of you people need to google amatonormativity… and like, think about it.

[peach-pot]

you can actually desire a traditional romantic relationship AND unpack amatonormative ideas within your mind and life. they are not mutually exclusive!

[sergeantsporks]

Aro coded villains that hate love and want to destroy it make so much sense, actually, like, the oversaturation of romance in media and in societal expectations pushes me a little closer to supervillainy every day, too

[spinchs-field]

“there is no platonic explanation for this” yes there is actually! it’s called “being friends”

as an optimist i dream of a beautiful world where people are fucking normal about aromanticism

[floralasshat]

At first I read “as an optometrist” and was just ready to accept the statement as is like oh yeah maybe some kind of pun about if people’s views weren’t clouded by hatred and biases they could be normal about aro and aspec in general but then I reread it was like “sigh, time for my nearsighted ass to go back to the optometrist.”

[knifearo]

as an optimist i dream of a beautiful world where all these beautiful aromantic people get to go to the optometrist

[squidong]

misread aromanticism as astigmatism

reblog if you:

- are aromantic and want to kill

- think aromantic people should be allowed to kill

- think fish are pretty cool

How it feels to be in the fandom of a show about friendship :

[lizardsfromspace]

"Sex is what makes us human" is stupid. Almost every species fucks. Humans are the only species that jumps motorcycles over school buses that are on fire. Some other things too probably

[jamierthanyou]

everything sucks so bad. but at least there's aromanticism.

[transexualpirate]

i love you polyamory i love you open relationships i love you situationships i love you queer platonic relationships i love you friends with benefits i love you uncommon demonstrations of love i love you complexity of the human emotion and experience

[peaknormal-deactivated20230203]

wanting romantic relationships is a weakness btw and also a moral failing

[aureoberlinerinn]

does it kind of annoy anyone else that any time aromanticism or aro pride and such are brought up it always has to be from the lense of being aroace. as if you can't be one without being the other. like it's the expectation that if you're aromantic, you must also therefore be asexual. and if you're only one of these things, particularly aromantic but not asexual, you're weird. like yes it's fine to not have interest in romantic relations so long as you aren't interested in sexual relations either. you must be some sort of freak to only feel sexual attraction and not romantic attraction as well. this kind of also applies to asexuals who aren't aromantic but i kind of feel like it's kind of worse with people who are just aromantic (hi). romantic love is just seen as more pure and acceptable than sexual attraction and i dont really know how to feel about that

I just think dating is a scam like 90% of the time. Joker voice And I'm tired of pretending it's not

[tlirsgender]

I can buy the concept of romance existing but the social song and dance of Dating specifically is so, like. Ok. So we're all just expected to walk around performing desirability & having coffee with people you find mildly interesting & Hopefully you will Feel Something for one of them. & if you keep it up long enough you can get legally bound and financially dependent on each other and have kids or something, not because you want them but because you're so fucking normal. This is supposed to be your #1 priority in life btw. Are you insane?

[tlirsgender]

And people will be like "you'll never be happy if you don't successfully have coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting, it's so sad that you're not having coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting" & I'm sitting here like I don't think that's true actually I think I'm doing pretty good. I have other things fulfilling my admittedly lower than average need for human connection, like friends
