Aromantic Facts

Facts about Aromantic People. I noticed that there wasn't a lot of funny positivity for aromantics, so I made this blog. This blog will be lot like the blogs 'pansexualfacts' and 'genderfluid-facts' but styled towards aromantics, of course. To get this blog off the ground I will need your help. So send in your aromantic "facts" and positivity!

Being aromantic like:

Do not ask an aromantic person

“What if you did fall in love with someone?”

1. It’s rude as hell

2. it’s an assault on the orientation and therefor the identifier

3. If someone is confident enough to declare themselves aromantic thoughts of themselves as not can be harmful and extremely upsetting

look.

all i want in life is a canon aro character. please.

i just need. aro character.

wait, scratch that. make it multiple aro characters. a demiro character, greyro, aroace, aropan, aro lesbian. aro demisexual characters, aro straight, aro bi. aros with “"weird”“ sexualities like lith, quoi/wtf, arospike. show us trans and nonbinary aros too.

an aro who doesnt like cuddles or platonic physical affection (touch-averse), and an aro who is a total cuddlebug. an aro in-between.

an aplatonic aro, and an aro happily married to their qpr.

an autistic aro, a depressed aro, an aro with bpd; disabled and mentally ill aros.

aros who are physically disabled.

an aro character making silly faces when there are kiss scenes in movies.

a romance-repulsed aro. also, an aro who likes kissing sometimes (after all, kissing doesnt have to be romantic) a polyamorous aro with multiple qprs. maybe the qprs are in lovey romo love with each other.

old aros and young aros and middle-aged aros. fat aros and skinny aros. aros of color.

please, gives us all the aros

question: what's something romantic? I mean, I feel like kisses fall in both sexual and romantic but I don't know so I'm having trouble understanding my orientation

kisses can be sexual, romantic, or sensual depending on the person. 

nothing is inherently romantic. that is, there are romantic-coded actions like kissing or holding hands or giving flowers, but those are only considered romantic because the people involved (and the larger surrounding culture) consider those actions to be romantic. you can hold hands or kiss someone without it being the least bit romantic.

Reblog if aros being uncomfortable with someone expressing romantic feelings for them is just as valid as an ace being uncomfortable with someone expressing sexual desire for them.

My Doctor says Queerplatonic Relationships sound “Very Healthy” and are “Good” !

So I had a doctor appointment today for my mental health, and one of the questions my doctor asked was “Are you in a relationship?”

“…Technically.”

“Is it with a boy or a girl?”

He didn’t assume my partner’s gender! It was exciting, and surprising, and so nice to not have to fear accidentally slipping up, especially considering I live in a very conservative area.

I was then asked some more questions, which I then explained my orientation (aromantic asexual) and my relationship (queerplatonic relationship).

My doctor had no idea what a qpr was, but after hearing me talk about it, he and his supervising doctor both said that it sounded like it was a healthy relationship and good for me.

So, aro-specs and anyone in a queerplatonic relationship, here’s some good news for you. Certified mental health experts have given the concept of Queerplatonic Relationships their stamp of approval.

Got a full quiver of aro’s!

Since us bisexuals, polysexuals, pansexuals, asexuals and aromantics don’t exist, laws do not apply. Rob a fucking bank, if you don’t exist they can’t arrest you.

[batwake]

Demisexuals can be the getaway drivers

[romance-repulsed-aros]

Aromantic girls aren’t “playing hard to get” when they reject you. They’re rejecting you because they don’t want to be involved romantically with you. You having feelings for them doesn’t mean they owe you anything. And they don’t owe you a “reason” either.

Perhaps be a decent human being and respect their wishes.

Please remember aromantic people. Please talk about aromanticism. Please represent us. Please don’t leave us behind. Please don’t ignore us.

Please remember that we exist.

Hey, it’s Pride Month! Here’s a comic I’ve been working on for a while, that I wrote in the wake of figuring out some stuff about being aromantic. Just some thoughts and feelings I have about it, and some silly memories that made me go wow, that makes a lot of sense now.

Have a happy and safe last week of Pride, everybody ❤️💚

(I’m not exactly aromantic, but I noticed there was a lack of aro-spec moodboards. Honestly, it pisses me off how few love-centric friendship quotes there are. This is for all the aros who keep seeing gay, lesbian, and bi post after post, without ever being acknowledged or having moodboards of your own.)

Reserving the words “i love you” exclusively for your closest friends and your cat. Nobody else.

To all the aromantics out there: many of you will be traveling this summer, and I know a lot of you will be seeing extended family while you travel. More than that, I know that almost everyone has nosy relatives that will interrogate you on your love life.

I hope against hope that they won’t ask you, this time. But barring that, I want you to know that no matter what they say, you’re not selfish. You’re not broken. You’re not ‘denying them great-grandchildren’ or an invitation to a wedding. You don’t need to date someone to be a worthwhile person. You can love and be loved, and you are worthy of the love you receive.

Please know that, this summer, no matter what they say, you are stronger than any criticism they give you.

I know you’ll do great things with your life–and I hope everyone else will see that soon, too.

Hey just a reminder that you are allowed to do whatever you want with your labels. You can be a demi-pan-romantic grey-asexual if that makes you happy. You can go completely without labels if that makes you happy. You can just be a straight up asexual, no strings attached, no extras. Use split attraction, don’t use it, whatever you want. No one has the right to question you and upset over what labels you choose! Who cares if it’s confusing for other people, over-arching societal meanings mean… Nothing honestly. Be happy with yourself and use labels to your heart’s content is what I’m trying to say.
