#apothiro

[officeobject]

I wish there was a way to be able to tell if someone is aroace, especially apothiaroace, because I got this one person who acts exactly like my 30 year old aroace OC, and that means they're also weirdly similar to ME, in personality, especially choices, especially especially body-language, ESPECIALLY especially "species of brain"

I'm autistic, apothiaroace, talk to objects, and am a furry.

I've worn a collar, talked to objects or "no one", held my phone a lot, danced a lot, even put a pride flag in my window, and this person doesn't act different, nor look at me any different, when or after - I seriously feel like they don't look at my outfit (except of course, when the weather was bad or windy or cold, in which case they either stared when I came back or glanced a lot of times), and they look at their co-workers happily and casually, while they just DEADPAN at me.

They also can get easily/quickly emotional instead of just casual/content, can't sit still, maybe walk a bit weirdly, have weird staring/glancing habits, have a very specific style or something, gesture with their hands while speaking, and other weird habits I have as well (except I don't gesture).

Also we never met.

They seem to, for whatever reason, not act like anything I do is sexual or romantic or anything ... and I mean, it IS true, but HOW DID THEY KNOW?!

Imma tag this as a vent, because maybe it classifies as one.

Alright, the apothiro flag sucks, has no known meaning, and I've only seen like one good redesign, which didn't get much traction anyway. So I have a better idea.

The cut rose graphic is clean, stands on its own, and can be placed nicely on top of the aro flag (or other graphic). I also think it'd make a nice pin, and the meaning is pretty self-explanatory.

You think you're scary? Well watch this-

"I don't feel love in any capacity"

*cue ableists and anti-aspec ppl shrieking in terror and plotting how to best shame me for existing*

When/if you're 30, just hypothetically, would you rather ...

Answers:

Life 1: Be able to make beautiful art, have a lovely spouse, adorable children, a funny pet, a great amount of money, a gorgeous house, chill friends, healthy garden, and generally that kind of life.

Life 2: Nice car, stylish clothes, pretty-looking self, a job that you enjoy, co-workers you like sometimes, a cool view of the outside, yummy and healthy food, and some random person you never met who keeps staring at you and even taking opportunities and whatnot to just be by the window they watch you from, and it's platonic and you might end up liking them too and staring back even though they're nervous around you, or something like that.

This poll has the tags of every group that might be relevant, and some that I'm a part of, as I wanna as THEM specifically.

Me if I met my squish, probably: You're just like me! You're a creepy loser who doesn't get bitches :D !

(I'm tagging everything that contributes to my definitions of these words, and I will not give the definitions, which is the context).

Hope this helps someone, because I want a 30 year old to write this to me in all caps-lock, but

You don't need a lover, you don't need to like anyone's lover, you don't need to have sex, you don't need to "touch yourself", you don't need to love your body, you don't need to fake your personality to escape yourself, you don't need to dress revealing, you don't need to go on a date, you don't need a crush, you don't need to see anything sexual, you don't need to find people attractive, you don't need to listen to romantic songs, you don't need to see ships, you don't need to listen to unclean versions of songs,

And also, block whomever posts untagged NSFW, block whomever followed your account but reblogs smut, block whomever, messaged you with a horn horn link, block whomever reblogged your relatable post about squishes and made it about their OC's crushes, block whomever is desperately looking for a lover, block whomever has their blog as NSFW, block whomever is 30-49 but not wholesome, block whomever suddenly writes "thirsty" posts, etc.

Me: Wow, apothiaro and/or apothiace people are so funny and relatable, maybe we'd get along - *remembers my horrible experience with a shitty apothiace who invalidated me* ... I'll ... just go sit over there ...

(Also I start crying whenever I remember, LOL, like multiple times when writing this).

How it feels like for my apothiaroace self to hear people talk about their stupid lovers that they'll say they don't put above me, yet genuinely WILL:
