Super Ace

she/her. Aroace. 32 from England. My posts are a combination of my personal asexual / aromantic experiences and general queer content. I know being aspec means something different for everybody but let’s embrace that! Feel free to ask me anything and let’s just agree to accept everyone 💜💚

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH DARLINGS 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

aroace culture is thinking you’re aroace, then thinking you’re not because you have crushes, then realizing all you actually wanted from said “crushes” was a really good friend instead of actually wanting to engage in romantic behaviors

Aroace culture is watching Project Hail Mary once and becoming obsessed with it and the way it portrays platonic relationships

"can I still be aromantic if I-" "can I still be asexual if I-" nobody gets to make the rules. Not a soul in the world. There is no special person whose approval makes you ✨Valid✨ you are the only one who knows your experience. Nobody gets to dictate who can use what label because nobody's opinion has an effect on anyone's experiences

[super-ace]

When people say the whole alphabet and include the A in the acronym I have to stop myself from giving them a kiss on the forehead tbh. Little legends 💜💚

It's Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, so let's go over some arospec/aspec terms and definitions!

(I'm including some important acespec terms here too, because understanding both asexuality and aromanticism helps to also dispel the notion that they are the same)

Split Attraction Model/SAM: The idea that romantic and sexual attraction can be experienced independently, so that a person can be aromantic, asexual, both, or neither.

Non-SAM: Someone who does not identify with the split-attraction model. For example, a non-SAM aro might not identify with allosexuality or asexuality, regardless of whether they experience sexual attraction, and a non-SAM ace might not identify with alloromanticism or aromanticism, regardless of whether they experience romantic attraction.

Aromantic/Aro: A romantic orientation where a person experiences little to no romantic attraction.

Alloromantic: Indicates that a person experiences a typical level of romantic attraction; the opposite of being aromantic

Asexual/Ace: A sexual orientation where a person experiences little to no sexual attraction. This is not the same thing as being aromantic.

Allosexual: Indicates that a person experiences a typical level of sexual attraction; the opposite of being asexual.

Aromantic Asexual/AroAce: A person who is both aromantic and asexual.

Alloromantic Asexual/AlloAce: A person who is alloromantic and asexual.

Aromantic Allosexual/AroAllo: A person who is aromantic and allosexual.

Aromantic Spectrum/Arospec: Describes the vast range of experiences of people who are aromantic, including those who experience little or no romantic attraction, experience fluctuating levels or romantic attraction, or only experience romantic attraction under specific conditions.

Asexual Spectrum/Acespec: Describes the vast range of experiences of people who are asexual, including those who experience little or no sexual attraction, experience fluctuating levels or sexual attraction, or only experience sexual attraction under specific conditions.

Anattractional Spectrum/Aspec: Describes the vast range of people who fall onto one or more of the following spectrums: aromantic, asexual, afamilial, aplatonic, asensual, atertiary, aqueerplatonic. Some people may include the agender community under the umbrella term of aspec.*

Romance Favorable: Someone who is personally receptive to the idea of romance. A romance favorable person may want to engage in a romantic relationship, regardless of whether they experience romantic attraction.

Romance Indifferent: Someone who is neither personally favorable nor repulsed by the idea of engaging in romance. A romance indifferent person may find a romantic relationship acceptable, regardless of whether they experience romantic attraction.

Romance Averse: Someone who is personally disgusted or repulsed by the idea of romance, but only when it involves themselves. A romance averse person may like romance for other people and in fiction, but feel disgusted when imagining themselves in a romantic relationship.

Romance Repulsed: Someone who is personally disgusted or repulsed by the idea of romance. A romance repulsed person may be disgusted by mentions or public displays of romance.

*Personally, I am agender, and I feel like that particular part of my identity is distinct from the aspec umbrella, but labels can be confusing and arbitrary and it is totally valid to consider agender as a part of the aspec umbrella, that just doesn't apply to me personally.

Happy Aro Week 🎉💚🤍🩶🖤

I recently descovered i was ace several months back through a show called Hazbin Hotel. My favorite character in the show is Alastor, who is asexual, and i was like wth is asexuality? I looked it up and was like op....thats....me???? And after discovering more, found that i was biromantic grayacespike aegosexual or smth like that. Yesterday i was scrolling through my fyp and found a aroace test, and decided wth. I took it and was like...so im actually aroace??? So i guess im aroace now, but like how would you put all of my labels together? Can i still use them if im now aro too??? Im new to all of this pls help

Welcome to the club! I watched Hazbin Hotel because Alastor is ace! You can use as many or as few labels as you need. As long as they feel right to you, they’re yours! Both asexuality and aromanticism exist on separate, parallel spectrums and you can be anywhere on either spectrum. I know people use ‘acespec’ or ‘arospec’ as umbrella terms for ‘somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum’ so I wonder if that would be helpful to you to summarise your identity. Sending lots of love 💜💚

I don’t really get headcannons. I don’t really imagine two characters getting together. Heck I don’t even notice when two characters are going to get together until it’s already happened. It’s gotta be so obvious or they’re friends thank you

I love Bridgerton and just starting the new season. I am DESPERATE for my girl Eloise to remain single. (Please don’t give me spoilers if you’ve already watched). As an aroace girly it is very important to me that she does not get in a relationship

[super-ace]

Okay all caught up. I did not have being obsessed with Violet Bridgerton on my bingo card for this season but THE WOMAN YOU ARE

[super-ace]

It has just occurred to me that every person in my life is in a relationship and a great, big wave of loneliness has just washed over me and now I can’t stop crying even though it’s not something I want for myself

[sentientunconsciousness]

I want them to keep Eloise a spinster! I want her to stay strong and independent and read so many books, WRITE so many books, travel the world, make so many friends in all parts of the globe, be herself with only herself because she is better than the ton and maybe I’m just projecting myself onto her but dearest gentle Bridgerton writers keep my queen single don’t let me lose my icon

[super-ace]

I’ve seen some things recently where queer people are confused by straight people using the word ‘partner’ when they’re in a heterosexual relationship because queer people just assume partner = gay. But I thought that queer people wanted straight people to use it so queer people wouldn’t out themselves by not being the only group using the word partner?

I honestly thought kissing someone at midnight on New Year’s Day was something that only happened in films until I looked around and all the teenagers were snogging each others faces off
