Dark skinned aromantic folks are incredible and valid and deserve respect and happiness. Cherish your dark skin, cherish your aromanticism, love yourself, and if loving yourself is hard, remember we love you too, and we will be the love until you can conjure that love for yourself.

(Image description: a white square background, the center of the image has an illustration of three people dressed in asexual pride colors, posing as if for a picture; text above the drawing in purple and gray says "celebrate asexual community".)

Aspec mood of today is flip-flopping between “maybe I only/mostly experience sexual attraction” and “maybe I only/mostly experience romantic attraction” before exasperatingly going “attraction is a construct and mine doesn’t fit neatly into any specific category, the only thing that really matters is allowing myself to be happy.”

How come it’s always the girls who’re pushed aside with the excuse of “they’re aroace”…like I never see a guy pushed aside for this reason even though there’s ample opportunity for it.

And: being aroace doesn’t mean you don’t have wants and needs and it doesn’t mean you become irrelevant as a character. “They’re aroace” isn’t a valid excuse to act like they don’t have emotions and complex relationships and social desires.

Aroace people deserve the spotlight and having their interactions with people treated as important just as much as people who aren’t aroace. The mental and social well-being of aspec people matters. When you make a character aroace just to push all of this aside, it’s a big fuck you to aspec people and particularly aspec women.

Literally I think the only main Shadow children characters I don’t lowkey headcanon as being somewhere on the asexual spectrum (graysexual, demisexual, asexual, etc) are Elodie/Nina and posibbly Mark. Plus sometimes Luke, but at the same time I’ve always kinda projected on him as graysexual?? I’ve always headcanoned Trey as graysexual (but I also think he’s very awkwardly romantic at the same time).

Partially it’s because aspec is kinda my default, but also the series gives me intense aspec vibes, it’s great.

Lovelies, if you are able, then show your pride! You deserve to participate(if you choose to do so) just as much as any other LGBT+ orientation and identity! Let’s also show some pride and support for those of us who would like to participate, but are unable to do so for any reason, and let them know that they will not go unrecognized.
