Meet the Mod team:
I’m Jay, I also go by Jamie! I’m gender queer and use any pronouns, but I sometimes swap to preferred pronouns, don’t be afraid to ask! I’m aegosexual-pansexual and a romance repulsed aromantic! I am neurotypical and the OG owner of this blog!
Hey people, my names Noah (or you can call me Nicola as that is a name I also go by :D) and I use they/them pronouns :) I have a long list of labels because I'm a complicated human being lol. I'm non-binary/genderqueer, lesbian/sapphic oriented aroace (I use both labels), with a handful of microlabels (greyromantic, aceflux, apothisexual and aegosexual). I have diagnosed ADHD, and I'm an INFP B)
My name is Ray! I go by any pronouns, and I’m an Agender Cogirl. I am cupioromantic and aegosexual (and many other things, just ask if you want to know!). I also have diagnosed autism, and I’m an ISFP.
Hiiiiii!!! I'm the new mod :3 I’m Fizzamess, you can call me Fizz. I’m agender and prefer using the pronouns “they/them” but I don't get mad if you call me any other pronoun. I’m a proud aegoaroace (aegoromantic and aegosexual) and I'm also caedsexual. I have OCD, lol

A collection of multi member blogs dedicated to one country of aspecs… all against Denmark
Asking for touch as an aspec is so weird like “hey, please touch me, but not in a sex/romance way, just in a human contact way. Interact with my body’s touchscreens. Punch me in the face or something. Please. I’ll take anything at this point.”
Edit: of course everyone here has blanket permission to tag this as Blorbo from their Shows. We love seeing representation, implicit or explicit.
Nebularomantic is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. Much like platoniromantic, those who are nebularomantic are unable to distinguish the difference between romantic and platonic attraction. But in the case of nebularomantic individuals, that is due to one's status as neurodivergent. (source)
Pretty flag!
this is one I don't understand but respect lol! You guys are always valid, regardless of understanding, I don't understand french, doesn't mean it isn't spoken <3
AROMANTIC HEART!! glad they updated it to now change with the tags! Also an asexual one, but its randomised if both are tagged and I only got it once (and i missed the screenshot)
previously, the bipoc pride flag would appear only on pride month tagged posts (less then 3 hours tho and then they snapped and updated it... GOOD. you didn't even have the trans or intersex flags included.... but they now have a separate animation for both of those!!)
TUMBLR ISTG. It is pride month, get your head out of your asses for ONCE please
Like did they mess with the progressive pride flag here?? Is this another flag?? Where is my blue/pink/white?
Edit: I knew this was a bipoc flag wasn’t sure which so didn’t label it as anything, by “is this another flag” I meant does this flag include the trans community and I just don’t understand/know this one?
edit 2: they changed it yesterday and i didnt get a chance to edit this but now it goes by most tagged/top tag of the post! aromantic, intersex, trans, asexual, lesbian, bisexual and many more all pop up now!! Good job on the correction tumblr!
edit 2 cont.: (For the record; on this post originally, although its tagged trans, no trans flag would appear only the above flag. Same with all other pride posts. they quickly updated it so that just pride tagged posts would show the bipoc followed by an intersex/trans flag now! not just the bipoc!)
edit 3 FINAL EDIT: pissing on the Poor website read this edit if you're not going to read any ffs:
Originally it was only the flag in the clip above on mobile and PC no matter what you liked, they updated after like 24/48 hours. PC AND MOBILE.
Mobile is NOW updated to have the above followed by the intersex/trans flags and PC now can do randomised based on tags. THIS IS POST UPDATE after 24/48 hours. Jesus fucking christ.
If i get one more ask calling me an idiot for "not reliking it" im going to scream! I do, in the video actually? Did you bloody see? I did it twice, I filmed it on mobile bc I can't screen record easily on my PC but it was the same no matter what I liked in that time frame.
being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.
(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)
You have no idea how good it feels to run into strangers who headcanon a character as aro. In spaces where ships are taken too seriously and around friends who just don't really care all too much about aromanticism, seeing a complete random person headcanon something that I am in real life brings me so much genuine joy
this pride month remember to love and appreciate aromanticism, aromantic people, aromantic love, aromantic relationships. this pride month get more aromantic
