there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

TV show with an obviously neurodivergent, modern-Sherlock Holmes style protagonist, except they have other neurodivergent friends.

“I can't connect with other people. I feel as if there is a wall of glass between me and them. I can solve so many puzzles, but the one puzzle I can't solve is Human Connection.” “Haha, yeah, know what you mean. Hey, you might want to check out these subreddits…”

Protag makes some comment later on like “romantic love is merely a chemical illusion. I myself have only ever had one person who Mattered in that way, and I think that everyone who claims otherwise is lying to themselves.” A friend asks if they've ever explored whether they might be somewhere on the aromantic spectrum.

Protag brings up their incredibly obscure special interest. Everybody is very supportive and says that it sounds cool, especially since it helps them solve crimes. It's so cool when people can use their special interests to help them make a living.

The equally nd villain keeps trying to draw them into some sort of “we are the only ones who Understand each other, how can you stick up for Normal People when you will never be One of Them” shit, and the protagonist is just like “actually, there are a ton of other people I relate to out there. Hey, once I'm done bringing you to justice, you might wanna check out these subreddits…”

There are two kinds of aromantic headcanons:

Characters who want nothing to do with romance.

Characters who are so over-the-top longing for romance that they HAVE to be coping.

I love how identities can be as broadly or as narrowly defined as you want.

Am I technically some kind of grey aroace? Probably. Could I find suitable microlabels? Probably. Could be interesting to see others with my specific experiences.

But do the nuances personally matter to me? Nah. I don’t want to date, I don’t wanna have sex.

Briefly being flustered by a cashier or having a crush on Ed Sheeran for a grand total of four hours doesn’t really make a tangible difference to my life. At most it gives me a peak of who I'd like if I was allo.

I still respect people with a collection of microlabels and corresponding flags. It looks fun. I just don't have the energy or desire to thoroughly self-analyze the nuances of my rare attractions.

Out of curiosity

How do you pronounce aromantic?

arrow-mantic

a (like you're saying the first letter of the alphabet) - romantic

Voting ended onApr 3

I've always said arrow and pronounced aroace as Arrow Ace, but I've now seen multiple YouTubers saying A-ro

Just listened to Being Alive as an aromantic and imagining a very explicitly aromantic staging for it

The 'bobby darling's physically cornering him in a Barbie-like doll box next to a bride mannequin until he screams STOP

Then singing the first section bitterly to the mannequin about the negatives of marriage, before steadily warming as he realises the positives are talking about his friends. Then stepping out of the box and approaching his friends.

Then the final 'somebody hold me too close' section he brings in all his friends together and holds their hands in connection to show he's referring to them and asking THEM for that connection.

Then... idk, just straight up pulling out the aromantic and asexuals flags and waving them around just in case some people were still not picking up the message

I couldn’t find a template for this meme where the swear jar was empty so I made my own lol

Any other non-swearing aroaces here? 🙋🏼‍♀️

shout out to my fellow aromantics! especially anyone who has ever felt guilty about not reciprocating someone’s feelings! here’s your reminder that:

you don’t owe someone a relationship no matter how kind they, are or how much they like you

you aren’t broken or missing any pieces

there are so many beautiful types of love in the world; the way you love is just important as anyone else’s

i love you (platonically)!

#not a shitpost #the multifold ways we relate to other humans is so complex and big and vast and diverse #there are thousands of types of relationships in the world #they come in rich and complicated and lovely and strange shapes #and there are more than anyone could fit into a hundred lifetimes #love comes in an abundance of forms and your life will be rich and full with or without romantic relationships #and if anyone makes you think otherwise i'm coming after them with a baseball bat #actuallyaromantic #aromantic
