Requiteromantic

dont kill me please this is just a placeholder flag i will make a new one

while recipromantic is defined that its a requirement for the person to like them first (to reciprocate), a requiteromantic will like the person first, but immediately does not like the person romantically anymore when their romantic attraction cannot be requited or is not requited.

Like, seriously, the romantic attraction will suddenly disappear. no more romantic desire at all. could still have other lingering feelings like emotional attraction, but no more drive for romance

of course, this could work too for the sexual counterpart (and all other attraction types. im just too lazy to edit)

any better term suggestions to fit this definition? please do comment/reblog with it! thank you :)

actual flag coming someday I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE POSTS WITH FLAGS MORE IM SORRY I DONT HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW

Stop The Madness

There's so much bickering and in-fighting in the asexual community about who can use what label, what these labels should be called, splitting hairs here and there. It's becoming too stressful to even interact with the ace community. I find myself annoyed and rolling my eyes at all these petty little fights that only tear us apart and make us all look like idiots who have no idea who we are.

A label is just a label. I label myself a jabberwocky and it really doesn't matter to anyone who matters. I'm not going to sprout wings and get decapitated by a beamish boy in the tulgey woods because I place a certain name on myself. It gives but a tiny glimpse into who I am (I like the poem Jabberwocky and I like dragons), but doesn't completely define my entire personality or existence. This is what all labels should be; a nice little sticker to know what might be contained inside a person, but does not completely define them.

We should not be fighting over such small, insignificant things. We should not be so eager to separate ourselves from each other and the rest of the world. We don't need 100 names and a 1000 subcategories of asexuality. It just doesn't matter. Because we all share the same label from birth, Human, and that doesn't change no matter what other labels we care to stick to the outside of us.

We're supposed to be a community and we're tearing at each other over who's more ace and who's label is being ignored and who should be allowed to use what. It's sheer insanity and we're bringing visibility to the community for the wrong reasons. Stop it.
