A good chunk of the way through “Ted Lasso” and would just like to shout out to my new favorite aro headcanon Coach Beard. That’s all.

Age you first felt, or didn't feel, a crush

Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

Okay guys I made a survey! 

There are eight questions, and it takes about a minute to complete.

I want to know how old other people were the first time they got a crush, the first time they realized who they were attracted to, and the first time they felt attracted to other people, as well as when they first noticed others around them getting crushes.

Please consider taking this quiz, and if you have any suggestions for additions (one question is about sexuality, and I might have missed a few) please let me know.

I am an aromantic asexual, and thus I never got a crush on anyone or wanted to date anyone. I want to know how old other people usually are when they get crushes and want to date!

So!

Please take my quiz?

An introduction

Hello! My name is Casey Kay, or at least that’s what you can call me, and I’m aromantic! Technically I’d identify as neu aro, and I love talking about it. I simply adore explaining things, and I’m hoping that I can use my love of explaining things (and my quite frankly absurd memory- oh so you can remember the etymology of octopus but not that we have homework? thanks a lot) for the good of the community! 

This blog exists and will exist in the future as a place where people, allo, aro, and questioning, can come and ask whatever question they might have about aromanticism, it’s history, and it’s terms. Like amatonormativity! That’s a long one. That probably needs it’s own post. 

Anyway! Feel free to reblog this post, or any of my other posts, and if you think I doing bad enough and, well I could do a better job, tell me! I’d love to have a co mod, for when I don’t know enough or simply don’t know.

So whether you’re aro, allo, questioning, or somewhere between any of those, come on over and pepper me with questions! I love answering them.

Happy learning!

Standard Media Request Screening Questions: Fiction

The community is largely represented by, but not composed of, white, romantically straight, cis, able bodied, monogamous, conventionally attractive introverted, sex-repulsed people. AKA a narrative as close to the societal ideal, but there's just this one thing different (read as wrong) about us. This is often justified by saying they don't want the story to get too complicated. 

Not wanting to have sex is often the butt of jokes in comedies, and usually people making fiction do not have asexual people involved in all parts of the storytelling, if any.

With that being our baseline of what to expect:

Do you have asexual and/or aromantic people giving input on each aspect of the storytelling and production in general? 

 Do you have any visual representation of people of color? 

 Does the asexual and/or aromantic character have a storyline besides just coming to terms with being asexual and/or aromantic? Aka is the storyline about coming to terms with being asexual and/or aromantic vs. a person who happens to be asexual and/or aromantic? 

 Does the asexual and/or aromantic character meet another asexual and/or aromantic person? Do they have a conversation about something besides being asexual and/or aromantic?

Is the audience supposed to laugh at the asexual and/or aromantic person not wanting sex or romance? In general is the audience supposed to laugh at parts of the asexual or aromantic character’s identity, including identity beyond ace/aro?

Is there any interaction with the queer community? 

Is there any canon representation of trans, and/or non-binary/agender/genderqueer people? 

If anyone dies, is the character a trans, non-binary, queer, disabled, or person of color? If there are good and evil characters, the same question goes for if the above mentioned in regards to team evil.

We’ve seen what it can do to a community when having any representation is good representation and we’d prefer not to throw  everyone else under the bus. Meaning, not about us without us, and the not just the poster children.
