you know, with pride month happening and all, can we possibly see some nonaesthetic/a-aesthetic rep somewhere?
I don't see it really talked about anywhere but we're out there.
Those who compliment your outfit because we don't know if you, yourself, look good.
Those who default to positive responses because we really understand what is "attractive" or "looks good" despite being told what to look for.
Those who see parts of someone's body and just find it weird, simply because we can't see it as anything else.
Those who simply identify under the aroace spectrum because they don't know why else nobody is attractive.
Those who see your mood before noticing if you look off.
Those who never tell you that you look weird with/without glasses/a hat/rings/etc. because they know they've just gotten used to how you usually look and know that change looks weird on everyone.
Those who are blunt about their thoughts because they don't wanna lie.
Those who identify weirdly because they see themselves as a boy or a girl or a human
There's more out there for sure but these are what I've thought of. I know that I, personally, usually correlate aesthetics with some sort of "aura", but it's iffy and I've only experienced actually aesthetic attraction a handful of times.
We aren't mentioned much but we're out here I swear and I know we experience things that many other queer identities do too.
