obligatory mourning of the dream of finding true love after society tells you true love will solve all your problems and the crushing reality of realizing you will never really find someone who completes you

"i wanna dance with somebody, i wanna feel the heat with somebody" but from an aroace persons perspective

Same with song “Cupid”!! It’s the “I want to know how it feels, too” but romance favorable aro

[nightmarebyanothername]

In hindsight it makes so much sense now I know I’m cupio bc when I was at the age where all my friends were getting crushes, I would just find a friendly, nice, mildly attractive person and decide that what I was feeling HAD to be romantic attraction, and because I didn’t mind the idea of a romantic relationship I thought I had a crush.

Really, of course, I was just feeling platonic (and maybe aesthetic) attraction and just couldn’t recognise it. (It should’ve been a major hint that I “couldn’t tell the difference” between platonic and romantic attraction lol — news flash past me! It’s because you don’t feel one of them)

You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.

You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT.  I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.

I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.

I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.

I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.

I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired. 

Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?

no matter how hard i try i will always be that little girl wondering why everyone is better friends with eachother than her and begging to be loved

in another life we're all on the playground sitting by the fence in the grass together and we all have eachother. maybe not here but somewhere it wasn't like this.

[misericordiia]

we have our own little playground here

Nobody tells you how accepting you're cupioromantic will make you go through the 5 stages of grief

one moment you're fine the next you're yearning for a romantic love you will never feel
