Some of you people need to stop acting so shitty over aspec stereotypes because it's starting to get to a point that you are just shitting on the people who experiences match the stereotypes and it's hurting a lot more aspects than it's helping.
Reblog to give an asexual a treat
Reblog to give an aromantic a treat
whenever i see a post about someone wondering how an asexual and a sexual can be in a healthy relationship there’s always someone being applauded for saying well asexuals can have sex too or just because someone’s asexual doesn’t mean they won’t have sex but i have never, not once, EVER seen someone say well hey, some sexuals don’t have sex. you can have a full relationship without sex. just throwing it out there
honestly the world would be much better if everyone just realized that asexual people can do whatever the fuck they want and still be ace btw
literally have a not as extreme real life example of this. i told my roommates at a summer camp i was ace and then afterwards made a sex joke and they were all so shocked. they were like wtf aren’t you asexual though Ok and. i’m not a victorian maiden i can make sex jokes
listen I do not care if a character has no reason/canon backing to prove that they’re ace/arospec, the rule is that if I like them and they have the right vibes, they just are. I will project onto my blorbos all I want
Some people are naturally wired to be ace or aro, some people find their asexuality or aromanticism is related to or caused by outside factors.
It doesn't matter why you relate to asexual or aromantic as labels, only that you do.
I wouldn't be surprised if this has been done already, but I just couldn't this image out of my head after I got out the shower and had to do it
[ID: The "alone on a Friday night? God, you're pathetic" Sonic meme changed into "Judging people by their ability to feel love? God, you're pathetic." End ID]
Just putting it out there.
Aromanticism is so beautiful. Just the existence of it opens so many different possibilities, and the experiences aromantic people have are unique and wonderful. We have such a powerful perspective on love and have the ability to have such drastically different and beautiful relationships with love.
I made these lol, let me know if i should make more with more identities!
some dumbass: nobody is going to want to sleep with you if you’re asexual
my sex-repulsed ass:

if you want to ask a bisexual or asexual person about their sexual history to verify that they’re queer, but you don’t want them to take it the wrong way, try this useful communication technique:
give them twenty dollars and go away.
As a bi person, I can attest to the beneficiality of this method.
As an ace person, I concur.
HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS
was gonna leave my comment in the tags but tbh i’m silent enough about this as it is.
seeing stuff like this is so upsetting because these terms were well known and widespread in the ace community but because of exclusionists many people stopped using terms like this because they felt uncomfortable and unsafe.
i loved these terms when i was in highschool, i loved the feeling of community, but i lost that because i didn’t feel comfortable openly and proudly calling myself asexual.
they’ve hurt so many people and damaged our community badly and i will never forgive them for that. we deserve to use our own terminology and feel safe within our community.
sometimes i notice i haven’t seen “grace” (grey-ace) in a while and consequently wonder if i made it up.
I remember ppl - even other ace ppl - saying the card suit thing was “cringey” and “straight ppl aren’t gonna take us seriously” (sounds familiar?) So i guess the community wound up abandoning it. We were also having severe issues at the time with aces being stereotyped as “childish/immature” for associating things like cake, dragons, and space with asexuality, plus in general as most aces just don’t “get” allosexual things in media and irl. We were starting to be viewed as ignorant, virginal, childish, losers, etc. I haven’t seen an ace-cake thing in a good while now.
This was the infancy of exclusionary influence on us. I didn’t realize it did more damage than just closeting us. Whole symbols and terms have been lost. Community has been lost.
I remember three-four years ago I got myself into the ace community on Insta, and I came across these terms. People in these circles would talk about cake, space, dragons, and the black ring on the middle finger. Then, a year or two later, ace content fizzled out (I thought it was Insta’s algorithm figuring out that I knew all this and didn’t bring me the old stuff) and young aces had no idea what any of these were - including the black ring. Finding out young aces had no idea what the black ring meant nearly snapped my heart in two - I proudly wore the black ring, I drew characters with it, and it was my quiet way of communicating to others what my sexuality was. I was baffled at the lack of knowledge - and it turns out that exclusionists got their hands into our community and snuffed us out.
Anyways, we need to bring this back. I thought the card suite thing was cool, it taught people the different ways people can experience attraction, I loved making jokes about preferring cake, I loved wearing the black ring and talking about it with my fellow queer people at my highschool QSA club.
I’m sorry, people don’t know about the cake or ring anymore? I remember being welcomed with spams of cake gifs, photos, and MS Paint drawings. I also distinctly remember that the block solo ring in the midle was meant as reference to the Ace of Spades (black, solo, middle of card). Only thing I didn’t know was that other aces could represent a more refined nuance. Let’s see if we can get this all rolling again.
Welcome to anyone who is interested in helping with the culture revival.
This is the exact reason I started my #ace positive and #aro positive tags. I remember learning about asexuality and thinking it was cool, but not for me (yet). I remember ace visibility day where people would post selfies with an ace card to signify their orientation like in the original post. I remember going through the tag and following every ace blog I could find, turning notifications on and scrolling through their blogs endlessly to learn more about it. I haven’t gotten a notification for any of those blogs in ages.
Going through all those blogs and seeing validation, learning more things about my newfound orientation was so incredibly as a questioning and unsure 15 year old. It’s devastating to me that this community has fallen quiet so much. So I started my tags, hoping to spread some more positivity and maybe inform people. This community is full of incredible people and the fact that so little of them remain, it heartbreaking.
Check out my tags if you ever need to. Maybe I’ll add more tags to my list to do whatever I can in support
Happy pride specifically to the heteroromantic aces, and heterosexual aros. I love you all. You are wonderful human beings and an important part of the lgbtqia+ community.
Love the positive responses to this! I see pride posts for almost every other identity, and since I'm an ace blog, I figured I better make one for my aros and aces (acknowledged that not everyone on the spectrum is hetace/hetaro).
*remember the spectrum! The above identities exist on a spectrum along with many, MANY more. Love EVERYONE on the ace and on the aro spectrum!*
Bad joke time
It can be frustrating when people confuse “aromantic” with “aromatic”, but hey, you know what they say: Aros, by any other name, would smell as sweet.
First of all, how dare you
after the huge amazing response I got from my ace!Jiang Cheng comic - all of the ace people saying how amazing it felt to be acknowledged, and all of the people who came to me saying that they hadn’t realised they were ace until they read the comic - I decided I wanted to make something for ace awareness week. it’s not quite as pretty or feelsy as the other comic, but there are so many people even within the LGBT+ community who just… genuinely do not understand asexuality, I figured even something basic would help :)
happy ace awareness week! please remember: everyone’s experience with sexuality is different! be kind and support each other!
