Here is a compilation of all of the @shattersaurus pride dino designs with ace or aro themes! Enjoy!

These bottom two are a baryon-ace and an alternate vel-ace-eraptor. Also, the creator sells pins and stickers on etsy.

People act all fear-mongery about aro/ace people changing their minds, but like. If aro/ace people change their minds they can just start dating/getting down. It’s generally a much more of a complex and difficult to navigate problem for someone with sexual/romantic relationship(s) to realize they’re aro/ace and not interested anymore. Yet we don’t fear-monger about “what if you’re in a relationship and you suddenly realize you’re aro/ace and not interested anymore???? Are you sure it’s not just a phase?”

Hmmm. Hmm. Interesting what risks in identity/relationships that society views as scarier. Interesting which personal choices people in general view as worth questioning/critiquing or not.

Is gen content allowed? I saw that Queerplatonic was a prompt and got excited thinking I could do the event with a group of aroace characters all in a QPR together, but then I saw this post /670309183551307776/image-descriptions-below-the-read-more-image where it said for polyamory they have to be romantically/sexually involved, and I am. incapable of writing characters who aren't sex- and romance-repulsed. Is gen allowed for only that prompt, or across the board, or not at all?

Oh great question — gen content, ace and aro and aroace characters, and sex- and/or romance-repulsed characters are always 1000% enthusiastically welcome here, across the board, for any and all prompts and events. Your aroace QPR sounds delightful, and we'd love to meet them!

(While that post does a nice job of showing graphically how polycules can be shaped, we'd quibble with the exact phrasing they chose for what makes a relationship. That is not the definition we use here.)

Thanks for asking so we could make that super duper clear!

I’ve been thinking of arospec headcanons and realize that my main inspiration is never “this character has a lack of something, must be aro” but it’s always some level of intensity that resonates with me. Like a few examples off the top of my head:

- An intense platonic connection they’re afraid to lose or to change (Jo and Laurie from Little Women 2019, Tim Stoker with trust falling apart in the Archives team, Sasha Rackett and Brock)

- A passionate direction while their human connections are a supporting foundation (Sasha James and her career, Jo and writing her book, Maya Fey with her role in her village, Luke Skywalker and finding his place as a Jedi)

- Latching onto people SUPER FAST as friends/found family, sometimes more than the other person (Sasha Rackett re: Zolf, Maya Fey with Phoenix, Cloud Strife and Tifa, Luke and Han)

- Soul-deep bond with family members, anxiety over siblings getting married or moving on with their lives (Tim and Danny from TMA, Jo re: her entire family, Maya Fey and Mia)

Like it’s never a thing of “oh, an allorom person can never feel this way” because that’s not how humans work, but there are some experiences that resonate so perfectly I’m just you, you’re one of us, I can feel it.
