indigo | 24 | they/them “love is in the air.” wrong! neurotoxin!

[lovequeerindigo]

intro post

hey! you can call me indigo. i use they/them pronouns and i’m autistic.

i’m an aroallo nonbinary lesbian. this is just a blog where i can reblog aro posts and talk about my aro Feelings™️. i also identify with the term lovequeer, best explained in this post.

it’s not solely aro content here, sometimes i also talk about my experiences with gender and sexuality too!

my main is dykeindigo, if i follow you it’ll be from there. i also run sapphicspoonie.

minors can follow this blog, but it will likely get nsfw at some point (not explicit but i like talking about sex lmao).

that’s all for now i think. thanks for following!

[probuccalfat]

these women did wonders for the “i’m single and i like it that way” community… i’m having a sexy ass life!

proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up

[stephexmachina]

will they won't they (end this farce). there's only one bed (but for some reason they don't really want to share it). out of context eavesdropping (that paints the relationship in a better light than it deserves). chasing after them to stop them getting on that plane (and stopping them from finally being free)

[stephexmachina]

nobody understands my vision i don't mean any old story where a relationship fails and it's tragic or w/e i mean a story where the intention is for the audience to root for it failing the same way u root for it succeeding in a romance. & when the relationship finally implodes at the climax of the story it's all very cathartic & everybody cheers.

[stephexmachina]

like have u never wanted a fictional couple to break up so badly it hurt?

[fortune-card]

This is not a new genre of fiction. You would like After the Winter by Guadalupe Nettel. That is literally what you're describing.

[stephexmachina]

that's not a genre that's the plot of one book. maybe i want a vast array of feel good stories about relationships imploding like fireworks. maybe i want to be baited by a breakup in act one only for them to get back together for absurd & convoluted reasons. maybe i want to pick up a book and go "wow i wonder how many times the protagonist is going to get cheated on before they finally call it quits". maybe i want it to be a foregone conclusion that they're going to break up and this is considered a happy ending. maybe i want to root for love to lose time & time again.

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

[aro-culture-is]

Aroallo culture is yeah so what if I do want to make out with and fuck my friends, they are amazing people and I love them and sex is just one more way for me to share affection with people. can we please not be weird about this?????

[cosmos-dot-semicolon]

I swear to god, the number of cool conceptual songs that always go back to this...

[sawed-on-shotgun]

Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real

[sawed-on-shotgun]

this is a certified AROMANTIC POST!!!!!!!!!!! NO yearning on my shit..... GO ON . GET

[aromanticofficial]

official aromantic post

[setulose]

I bring a sort of "you don't have to get married or have kids" vibe to the function that people invested in the continuing subjugation of women don't really like

[randompajamaalt]

i need more stories where the friends kiss and have sex because one of them is really really desperate and the other one loves them(platonically) and wants them to feel better so they kiss and have sex. as friends.

[casperxp]

I want more aromantic characters who are not also asexual !!! I want more characters who 100 percent want to get it on but just don’t feel any romantic feelings for anyone. I want more aromantic characters with “friends with benefits” except it’s literally just that. That’s their best friend and sometimes they let them fuck. More aromantic characters please !!!!

[triangleaxalotl]

I once compared sex to just a thing I do with some of my friends like playing uno and frankly I stand by that

[aromantic-diaries]

I don't like how having sex with a friend is considered weird or unusual (unless of course you have romantic feelings for them) but having sex with one's romantic partner is demanded. I don't like the refusal to separate sex from romance.

[therockywhorerpictureshow]

How it feels to walk through life knowing you never have to get married

[for-the-memes]

You know what’s one of my biggest pet peeves? The double standard people have when it comes to shipping aroace characters.

People will make excuses for it like “aroace is a spectrum” and “aroace people can still date”

And while that’s all true

I especially find it funny that if you used those same exact excuses for shipping, let’s say, a gay man and with a woman or vice versa, then suddenly you’re “erasing their sexuality”

DO YALL NOT SEE THE FUCKING IRONY IN THAT?!

[luxiomahariel]

[stiffyck]

I'll be an avid shipper of something until someone walks in and says "there is NO platonic explanation for this" and suddenly I've never shipped it before in my life and they're just friends and I can't lie i can't really see them being in a romantic relationship with each other yeah sorry I just don't see it
