[aroacedragons]

hey followers. i don't think im aromantic or asexual anymore. I don't know what changed. But something did. I won't be active on this account, thought I'd let everyone know. Thanks for following me.

[aroacedragons]

is it a common thing to be so romantically repulsed you don't even like the thought of holding hands??

Yeah, I'm the same way. Touching hands sounds gross

Who’s your favorite canon asexual boy in a stupid hat?

The canon LGBT+ character of today is:

Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory who is asexual

IM LAUGHING SO HARD I DIDNT THINK SEXUAL DESIRE WAS A REAL THING LIKE I ALWAYS SAW PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WANTED SEX BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE JOKING OR EXAGGERATING OR SOMETHING THATS WHY IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO REALIZE I WAS ACE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WENT WITHOUT SAYING SEX ISNT THAT IMPORTANT IM 19 YEARS OLD I CANT STOP LAUGHING LITERALLY 99% OF THE POPULATION EXPERIENCES SEXUAL DESIRE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE

[knightarcana]

This is pretty much the definition of being an ace person, tbh, and I’m so glad.

Honestly, every single cheating plotline never made sense because “but why do you have to have sex with them? just don’t??”

[skidar]

^^^^ Every single cheating plot line ever I was like: What is so hard about keeping your pants on what is your problem??

[callie-quite-contrary]

…do you have any idea how hard it is to do literary criticism that will get published when your reaction to at least 75% of character motivations is this makes no sense whatsoever why do they even care? 

[sazandorable]

When people ask you why you don’t date someone just to try, and when you answer that well you’re not interested in that person, they explain that usually you don’t like the person at first, but you might fall in love after having dated a little while

and you’re just?????? but what?????????? is the point of dating someone if you don’t like them?????????????? 

what do you mean the point is making out and sex????????? why would i want to do that with someone i don’t already like?????????

[trashbandikyut-deactivated20181]

Christian aroace people are all super great! Your religion and your orientation are both excellent and don’t contradict each other in any way! Christian aroaces are great!

[realsuggestions]

Platonic love is not a runner up to romantic love. Platonic love isn’t second place. Platonic love isn’t less real, less valid or less powerful than romantic love. Don’t let your platonic love take a back seat to romantic love.

Also, today is my parents’ anniversary!  They’ve been married for thirty-eight years, and together for forty.

I don’t want to preach, but if you are ever afraid because you are asexual.  If you have a relationship that isn’t based on romantic love.  Mom is asexual.  She also said no to my dad’s proposals three times because she wasn’t in love with him, and she was and still is repulsed by sex.

When Dad asked the fourth time, my mom broke down in tears.  Because she didn’t want to break his heart, because she still cared about him so damn much even if what she felt wasn’t romantic love.  Because the only reason she would have sex with him or anyone was because she wanted to have her own children.  And you know what?

Dad still wanted to be with her, from the time he was eighteen until they both were ready for the grave.  Because he didn’t want to ever be without his best friend in the whole damn world.  Mom meant that much to him.

I can count on one hand how many times my parents have ever kissed in front of me, and every time was on the cheek.  But their hugs are the most heartfelt you’ll ever see.  When they laugh together, you know there’s a deep love between them.  They truly are each other’s best friends.

So congrats, Mom and Dad!  For always being there for each other, for me and my brother, and for my husband and our friends.  You are both amazing, wonderful people, and I am so glad that you found one another.

Ace parents exist?! And are happy?! I feel so much better!! I never hear about happy settled grownup ace people!

[ace-aro-queerplatonic-positivity]

Ace people can start a family and have children! Here it is from one child! Keep your head up, you aren’t doomed. You are perfect the way you are and you can start a family, if you want, there is someone out there.

Aromantic + strong woman aesthetic for the anon!!!!!

I made some aromantic valentine cards 030 I plan to make some asexual ones soon but feel free to use any of these or the blank one so you can write your own thing

[daniels-ramblings]

Me, screaming from the rooftops: HYPERSEXUAL ACES EXIST! IT IS A MENTAL DISORDER THAT ACE PEOPLE CAN ALSO HAVE! THEY ARE VALID ACES!

[aceofsquiddles]

Aromantics: reblog and tag which aro flag you prefer!

(There might be others, but these are the only ones I’ve seen)

You can still reblog if you aren’t aro, but obviously I’m mainly interested in the opinions of aromantic people, since it’s our flag. Also this is just for my interest, not the decide on an ‘official’ flag or anything like that.

MEEEEEE

[owlpajamas-archived-blog]

good things

- friends holding hands - friends cuddling and sleeping in the same bed - friends being very close and intimate - queerplatonic relationships - not being constantly questioned about your relationship because it deviates from societal norms

[romance-repulsed-aros]

i honestly can’t believe that there are people out there who aren’t romance repulsed….like……there’s people that aren’t constantly stressed out because romance is everywhere??? there’s people that can go about their day and when they see romance they don’t feel instantly awful???//? there’s people that can encounter romance constantly and they don’t have overloads or breakdowns from it??????????///??/? what kind of concept???????? i can’t imagine life being that amazing???????

[hermionejeanblr-deactivated2022]

tfw you’re aromantic but also have a Very High Need for validation by societal standards
