crushes dont exist they made those up for hanahaki disease

aro culture is only liking a ship if they have Other Things going on between them besides just. kissing or whatever

.

[ikarakie]

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is being mean when talking to certain npcs cuz if you're nice then they will take it as flirting

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

fan fic authors be like yes i know this will flop however i simply have too much love for this character and my very niche headcanons for them. and i think that is so fuckin sexy of us

[tedsprestonesq]

new game: how many hits/reads/whatever does your least popular fic have? mine has 16

[canonically47]

“there is no straight explanation for this” neither is there a gay one. there is however an aromantic one

[aro-culture-is]

arospec culture is liking shipping/a ship but only on your own terms (which usually means making it have aromantic undertones)

Friends with benefits. And those benefits? Long insightful conversations about The Characters™️

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is not personally subscribing to "favorable" or "repulsed" type labels because of how much it varies, but always being down to describe myself as romance "tired"

big mood

part of the reason I think it’s so sad that we collectively write so few stories about unrequited love is bc I feel like there’s very little public acknowledgment of how much it sucks to be the one somebody is in unrequited love with??? and not in a way of like, oh they’re crossing boundaries or putting expectations on me or whatever. becoming close friends with someone and then finding out they’re in love with you and you don’t love them back the same way is heartbreaking, bc a) someone you love is in pain and there is literally nothing you can do about it, and b) it usually means that whether you like it or not there’s going to be distance in your friendship that wasn’t there before as they try to get over you. idk man I just feel like we’ve all discussed the tragedy of loving someone who doesn’t love you back quite a lot and very rarely discuss the tragedy of finding out the way that you love someone just isn’t enough.

Friend: Don't you want to have a romance?

Me: I'm good, I have romance at home.

Romance I have at home:

[aro-culture-is]

aro culture is headcanoning one-sided romo/one-sided aro ships, but the aro person still loves and cares a lot about the other person in a non-romantic way :)

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

[sergeantsporks]

All the people who keep saying “or, consider, they just suddenly really love their family/friends/pets/hobbies/etc!” in the notes 1) are missing the fucking point and 2) owe a loveless aro ten bucks

[snazzy-hats-and-adhd]

It's about the feeling of something foreign invading your body and your mind. It's about finding yourself inexplicably obsessed with something that's completely out of character for you. It's about feeling like you've been body snatched and absolutely nobody around you is clocking the imposter. It's about being forced to confront how there isn't anyone around you who would even be worth loving, because if they were then they'd be trying to help you when you say you need help, for no other reason than that you have said it.
