aro culture is loving being in a relationship with another aro person because you're both just in complete sync and it's the best thing ever!! you don't understand romance nor amatonormativity? neither does your partner! you wanna be affectionate but without it being flirting? so do they! you even wanna flirt but without it being romantic and without fearing theyll have a crush on you? so do they!! its safe and comfortable and cozy being aromantic is the best 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈💚💚💚💚

hii! do you have any art, poetry, textposts, podcasts, essays, pdfs, writing, or videos that are about aromanticism/aromantic culture or can be interpreted as such? it's for a zine :3

HELLO YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY TO GET TO MY LAPTOP TO ANSWER THIS.

now, I’m not the most well-versed in like... general aro stuff. BUT. I do specialize in my favorite canon aroace, Jughead Jones (and how no writer has respected his identity since like... 2015).

here is a pdf of Straight as an Aro: Aromantic Asexual Representation in Riverdale by Francesca Ark, one of my favorite pieces about aromanticsm. it does a great job at showing how our current lack of representation reflects society as a whole's perception of aromantics.

and here’s an article that was cited in the above paper, Jughead, Bughead, And The Need For Asexual & Aromantic Heroes In Comics, which views the erasure debacle from a more casual standpoint, that being those of aspec creatives in the comic industry (though it does get a bit depressing, especially when the creatives are asked whether they think producers will ever take up more aro/acespec representation).

I don't know much about zine production so I don't know how helpful this will be, but I hope it helps you out!

i'm trying to make a small zine on aro culture and feelings, do you have any podcast, essays, pdfs, drives, textposts, poetry, art, anything on aro culture that i can be using? you can also say what things you consider to have impacted the aro community and some philosophies you believe to belong in it(for example i've gotten some texts on "the aro agenda", on the breakdown over what love is and personal desires rather than societal pressure) thank you for the time

i'm so sorry this has been sitting since january, but tbh i rarely have the energy to do these sorts of discussions without very particular prompts. i think it could be useful for folks looking for materials like this to scroll through archives, and maybe use analysis tools to check for the posts in the aro community with the most notes (i recall a small assortment have been created and posted about over the years). it could also be helpful to look at historical resources - such as the original conversation around the term aromantic from AVEN's forums, as well as resources and news from AUREA (aromanticism.org).

heyy, i doubt you remember me from the animaniacs server, but either way i just wanted to say i always admired your art and animation. i always took it as inspiration and studied it for my own animation, and i recently made another friend who likes animaniacs and i presented your animation to her imediatedly and he was also with their jaw on the floor at how talented and skilled you are

OMG, Thank you so much! ❤ 🥺

I'm glad my works could have such an effect on you and your friend!

Wishing you luck on your animation journey! 🎉

points at you. your blog tastes like mint with chocolate chips or pistachio

is it minty because of all the green? because that's very fair!

hm, yours is definitely something sweet, too... oh, strawberry shortcake! with a lot of whipped cream!
