#aro safe

I would identify as arospike but the label is not specific enough

Honor Among Thieves

I did finally watch D&D: Honor Among Thieves and it was great indeed!

Holga & Edgin’s purely platonic relationship (they’re both allo and attracted to the opposite sex, but not to each other) was perfect, everything I wanted and more. Absolutely recommended as an aro-safe movie (no romance except for the slightest hint, NOT between them).

Feel free to use!

I can’t be the only aro out here that’s real uncomfortable with using hearts to convey platonic or queerplatonic affection, so how about as a community we start using the fleur-de-lis ⚜️ instead? I’ve been using it for this for about half a year now, and I’ve gotten it to catch on amongst friends, but it’d be great to have it become something widespread and common.

I chose it for aesthetic and accessibility; you can get practically anything with one, type it with any emoji set, view it on desktop; it’s recognisable and distinct, and it’s simple enough to draw. I know I’ll use it regardless, but it’d be nice to see others using it, so that it’s easier to communicate with it.

New aro/ace/aroace terms

My gf/tf related hard to the terms aro/ace/aroace-spike just in the opposite composition. So im coining the terms

Aro-jump, Ace-jump and AroAce-jump

Aro-jump

Being typically alloromantic with rare, sudden and intense spikes of total or near total aromatisim before returning just as suddenly back to your normal amounts of alloromantisim.

Ace-jump

Being typically allosexual with rare, sudden and intense spikes of total or near total asexuality before returning just as suddenly back to your normal amounts of allosexuality.

Aroace-jump

Being typically alloromantic and allosexual with rare, sudden and intense spikes of total or near total aromantic asexuality before returning just as suddenly back to your normal amounts of alloromantisim and allosexuality.

So please, if you actually care and aren't an exclusionist then be sure to check the op's blog if a post seems iffy. There are obvious signs.

"you have internalized homophobia!!! thats why you're using a platonic label instead of romantic!" is so fucking insulting imo

im gay. im 100% gay. im achellian. i KNOW this. i am in love with a gay man who uses gay identifiers like bear and bara. he is gay. i am gay. gay gay gay. my alterous attraction is only for men and men alligned people. i am not a shame to this community and my love isn't any less for it.

we'd still experince homophobia, we'd still be grouped in with a romantic gay partnership and shamed by bigots. when i talk about my partner as a male alligned person, i still receive the ability to get shunned because he is a man

i am not shameful of being aroace and gay. i am not shameful for experiencing my own attraction and expressing it how i want
