MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS FELLAS THE BOTS HAVE RETURNED!
The arospec urge to write a friendship that's so non normative that shippin them will feel so fuckin off that it gets awkward.
When reading (in general, this applies to both fanfiction and original stories), how much romance do you prefer to be in it and are you on the aromantic spectrum? (No show answers option because it couldn’t fit, but this poll probably won’t need one anyway)
I prefer stories with no romance mentioned ever, not arospec
I prefer stories with no romance mentioned ever, arospec
I prefer stories where romance is mentioned but doesn’t affect the plot, not aro
I prefer stories where romance is mentioned but doesn’t affect the plot, arospec
I prefer stories where romance is an important sideplot, not arospec
I prefer stories where romance is an important sideplot, arospec
I prefer stories where the romance is extremely important, not arospec
I prefer stories where the romance is extremely important, arospec
I prefer stories where the romance is the main point in the first place, not aro
I prefer stories where the romance is the main point in the first place, arospec
Nuance option (the stories you like vary too much, questioning arospec, etc etc)
This poll isn’t applicable to me
Options explained due to the poll options having limited space:
1- self explanatory, the story never/almost never acknowledges that romance even exists
2- the story acknowledges romance exists, some characters may be in relationships/past relationships but it’s meant to add depth/backstory but ultimately doesn’t directly affect the plot much
3- romance is an important side plot (this category is meant for side characters in relationships but may also apply to main characters in relationships) that’s nearly impossible to ignore, may impact the plot but not enough to entirely change the story
4- romance is an extremely important aspect of the story where removing the attraction and/or relationships may significantly affect the plot, although the romance itself is not the main point of the story
5- the romance *is* the plot, the plot may simply exist for the sake of the relationship and not the other way around
"what does not wanting to date have to do with being ace?!?!"
"what does not wanting to have sex with people have to do with being aro?!?!"
The current amisic stance is just as ridiculous as it sounds.
It's 2024 and people hate aroaces and non-SAM aros and aces so much they're literally trying to define us out of asexuality and aromanticism because they want the asexual and aromantic tags to literally be For Allos Only. I'm not even fucking joking.
the split attraction model is not mandatory. You literally do not ever get to demand people use it.
The asexual tag is for literally every single asexual person in existance. Not just allo aces.
the aromantic tags is for every single aromantic person I existance. Not just allo aros.
You do not get to ban aroaces and non-SAM aros and aces from using the main general tags for the fucking community just because you're allo and completely separate your romantic attraction from your sexual attraction.
Your experiences are not universal.
There is no fucking definition in existence that separates sexual and romantic attraction.
You literally do not have the right or ability to define other people's orientations or experiences to them.
"well I can easily separate my sexual attraction from romantic, so that means everyone can!"
No we fucking can't and newsflash, asshole, we're literally not even required to try! No other fucking orientation comes with the demand to forcibly separate sexual from romantic attraction. The fact that you think it's okay to demand this of aspec people just shows you're blatantly amisic.
The allo aros and allo ace tags exist. Use them if you hate seeing aroaces and non-SAM aros and aces existing so much.
If you hate seeing posts in the aromantic and asexual tags that don't conform to your personal definitions of asexuality and aromanticism that is literally just too fucking bad. Suck it up you whiny fucking self entitled brat. The world does not revolve around you.
If you hate aces and aros and aroaces so much you want to define us out of the aspec community to make sure allos are the only ones allowed...you will be the laughing stock of the whole fucking community. Get over yourself.
C'est le jour des langues aujourd'hui donc vous avez droit à un poste en français
Et je vais continuer à parler de Koisenu Futari (une série japonaise centrée sur deux personnages AroAce, mon premier poste ici) parce que cette série est mon coup de cœur du moment. <3
Je ne suis généralement pas très bonne à repérer les éléments de language visuel - mais il y a un détail de cette série qui me fait sourire à chaque fois qu'il est dans le plan.
Quand Sakuko se prépare à s'installer avec sa meilleure amie, elle achète une lampe colorée très fun.
Et c'est évident dès l'épisode 1 qu'elle va bien s'entendre avec Takahashi, parce qu'au delà d'être tous deux AroAce, ils partagent un amour des lampes colorées.
Voilà la première lampe que Takahashi allume la première fois qu'on découvre sa maison :
Il allume cette lampe en premier, avant même le plafonnier. Je vous jure que c'est fait exprès ! Elle est parfaitement centrée dans le cadre !
Je pense qu'elle sert aussi à annoncer le côté... disons maximaliste, de la maison. Il y a beaucoup de choses, partout, tout le temps, mais ça donne un côté très chaleureux au décor.
(en opposition à l'appart moderne et lumineux mais entièrement vide que Sakuko a visité avec sa meilleure amie quelques scènes plus tôt)
(Oui je tire beaucoup d'un unique arrêt-sur-image, et alors. Quand la cinématographie est bien faite il y a beaucoup a interpréter.)
Et comme elle est installée en plein milieu de la pièce à vivre, cette lampe est régulièrement à l'écran, et elle me fait sourire à chaque fois.
La revoilà dans l'épisode 4 :
Même éteinte elle est souvent présente :
Et finalement au premier plan dans la dernière scène de l'épisode :
Cette lampe est clairement un choix de décore délibéré et je l'adore ! C'est quasiment un personnage à ce stade.
D'ailleurs ce n'est pas la seule lampe à fleurs de la maison, il y en a plusieurs rien que dans le salon, et au moins une dans la chambre de Sakuko.
My brain: you go by she/them
Me: Mhm!
My brain: you're a s*x-neutral ace
Me: Yeah that...seems right
My brain: you're aro, maybe demi aro
Me: uh uhnmm ummm uuuuhmh **aroace imposter syndrome**
what the fuck is happening in the asexual tag??? it’s like an evil wizard of some sort decided to place The Curse Of One Thousand Bots in that specific tag. whadda hell.
what we love to see >:]
