it is my aromantic right to loudly and obnoxiously write one thousand love stories that are deep and complex and intimate and wrenching and life changing and not at all even a little bit romantic.

“There’s no way they’re not in love!!! You cannot explain this with friendship! Literally not possible!”

Um, my guy, watch me friend-ify this relationship so fast you’ll think you imagined canon.

It shall be neither het or gay. It’s bffs, you close-minded cardboard cutout. Watch that friendship flourish more healthily than most marriages.

Aggressively Arospec Week: Aromantic Jewish Moodboards

Ezra Bridger / עזרא בן אפרים ומירה / Ezra ben Ephraim v'Mira

Listen, almost all of the Jedi are extremely aro to me. And if you know anything about this character I don't think I need to explain all the ways that he is obviously Jewish-coded.

Have you ever felt aromantic "jealousy"?

Wait! I'll explain!

I'm talking about a personal experience. I was thinking about some fictional characters I felt some kind of "jealousy" towards when they started a romantic relationship, but I definitely didn't have a crush on them. I started to wonder: "Why I felt this way?"

The answer is simple: I wasn't jealous because I wanted the character to have a relationship with me, I wanted them to not have a romantic plot at all. Sometimes it just happened to me, I got super attached to the character and didn't want a partner for them.

So… have you ever had a similar experience? Let me know!

You know as hard as coming to terms with my gender and sexuality was, my romantic attraction made me feel the worst. With my gender and sexuality I was just kind of confused and frustrated.

With my aromaticism I was not confused at all, but I was petrified. Because, if I couldn’t love, how could I ever be happy? How would I live without romance? Every book, movie, comic, tv show I had ever seen, every person in my life, every example I ever saw of the accepted lifestyle included romance. My whole life I’d been waiting, dreaming, praying today would be the day I finally understood that feeling everyone was constantly talking about. What was life, what was I if that day could never come?

Anyways, kill the notion that you need romantic love to have a fulfilling life because it fucking sucks.
