#aro stuff

There are lots of stories where 14-17 year olds experience their first crushes and first relationships and figure out their sexualities etc., but as soon as there's a story where a 14-17yo realises they are aroace people get mad? Maybe some kids are late bloomers, but some kids are not, and it would have meant the world for me as a teenager to read a book where someone my age was also uninterested in hot people and never got crushes

Aspec men deserve much more respect and recognition in the aspec community than they receive. They often face a different form of aphobia specific to them ("men are naturally sexual they can't be ace" "all men are unromantic that's not unique") this rhetoric is spouted by many, even members of our own community and I hope for a day where that is no longer the case. As an ace and demiro woman (demigirl but that's beside the point) I want to encourage folks to take the time to give the aspec men in their lives support and to the aspec men reading, you are who you say you are no matter what people say and you deserve the world. I'm sorry for the ways in which toxic masculinity has harmed you. You are a valued member of the aspec community and the queer community as a whole. No ace or aro person is broken and neither are you. I'm sorry if anyone has ever told you otherwise.

You can't choose your sexuality, but you can choose not to date at all, btw.

Allo Things That Piss Me Off #3: “We’re Just Friends” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP FRIENDS ARE AMAZING

[basic-bamboo]

A relationship that doesn't get talked about enough but I feel like it's really important especially to me as an arospec person(s) is roommates. Everyone either has or knows roommate horror stories. Some people only strive to be cordial with their roommates and that's it, not really caring to have much of a relationship besides sharing rent and utilities and space and dishes, but for us roommates are some of our most important relationships. We are in the midst of the most stressful move of our life and the thing that made us choose the place we ended up moving into was the fact that we clicked with the roommate here. We love our own space and with every roommate we've honestly interacted very little, but every time we have interacted it's been very meaningful. With our previous roommate (who we're very sad to be splitting with, but we were prepared. Even before we had to very quickly move due to circumstance beyond our control, they are planning on moving out at the end of our previous lease. We're basically just splitting a few months ahead of schedule) we both mostly kept to ourselves, but I'm the 2-3 years of living together we did have a couple of "roommate dates" as I secretly referred to them where we would watch a movie together, have a drink or smoke some weed, or just parallel play kind of stuff. It was very easy to talk with them and spend time with them. They ended up getting to know some of my friends through some activities that they do that I don't and it was so joyous to receive an invitation to their wedding addressed to both of us. I'm going to miss them a lot. I don't know if "love" is the exact word I would use to describe our feelings for them, it's definitely a very aro, queer kind of care. Idk just thinking about roommates tonight(early morning)

After a brief sexuality crisis, the aroace has remained firm in their identity while renewing their aesthetic appreciation of titties.

Broadcaster's note: There was supposed to be a pun with identity and iden-TITTY, but the aroace has butchered it, much to their disappointment :(
