Aspec representation is important because kids are still told in health class that everyone feels attraction

Aspec representation is important because somewhere in the world there’s a 12 year old crying because they feel broken

Aspec representation is important because I still get told “that’s not real” when I come out

Aspec representation is important because people still think the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally

Aspec representation is important because everyone deserves to see someone like them on screen

Aspec representation is important because people still think that asexual and aromantic are the same thing

Aspec representation is important

Theres something so special to me about the Aromantic reading of Ryland Grace

"You dont actually care about anything on earth because you dont date" despite him caring for his class deeply yet it being pushed off by everyone

"You should sacrifice yourself because you dont have a romantic partner" yet he has many people around him he cares deeply for but people won't see him as successful unless he falls in line

Even though most of the team on earth talked about how much he had no one to care for he still sent off his crew with care despite not remembering any of them

Hes so full of love and care

Fellow aces in their twenties, how do you deal with everyone around you slowly getting into relationships?

Ik many other ppl also struggle with this but I do think it feels slightly different

[ijustreallylikepirates]

worst things to hear as an aro/ace/aroace person:

"you'll get over it"

"true love will find you some day"

"but what if somebody asks you out and they're really cute?"

"you'll change your mind"

"love/sex is a part of life, you need it"

"I bet I can change that"

"but what if you want kids someday/decide you want to get married?"

"you're too attractive to be aro/ace/aroace"

"men need women around the house" or "women need men around the house"

"but you've had crushes/been in relationships before?"

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 :(

i resent the implications of the phrase ‘just friends’. what do you mean just, i just hate how it’s normalised for friendships to be lesser.

for me friendship is the most important form of relationship seeing as i don’t feel romantic attraction and family has always been more of an act or forced love aside from certain immediate family. i love saying these are my friends, i love the word friend and friendship its so pure to me. the greatest honour i can bestow someone, they’re my friend. i love my friends, more than anyone else in my life. everyobe whom i love and care for, they’re my friends. that connection of friendship is the one i value most.

this isn’t to say that friendship is the end all be all, i’d hate to perpetuate the stereotype of one love to rule them all whether it’s family, or romance or friendship. this is me saying friendship is the relationship that means most to me, and that it shouldn’t be considered inherently lesser than romance or family.
