[it-couldbe-worse]

Appreciation post for this lineup of flags that is fuckin rad and now lives rent free in my head

[aroacearchangel]

hey. do whatever you want btw. it’s your identity. kiss people for fun. enjoy sex. nobody’s stopping you. being aro and/or ace doesn’t mean you have to be repulsed by romantic or sexual activities if you don’t want to.

and also! things only mean what you meant them to mean. you can have platonic sex and platonically make out with your friends. it’s true. just be sure to communicate so that everyone involved understands and you’re good.

Shout out to the romance/sex averse aroaces and greyroses. The ones that can only tolerate sex and romance in fiction if we try to force ourselves to believe it's not romantic/sexual in nature. The ones who only that feel aesthetic/sensory attraction for only like. 5 minutes max. Then never feel Again. The aroaces that dont want to "marry platonically". The ones that would rather live in a friendly community with their own space than Start a family. This is mostly for me but... Please, is there anyone else like me? The first few posts in the Aroace search is about.. Yearning. And shipping and attraction... I feel so alone. :(

So the state of Virginia has "Virginia is for Lovers" as it’s tourism tagline. A friend and I thought that editing the logo to be Aromantic would be Incredibly Funny and I'm happy to say we were right. So here's some Aromantic Virginian pride edits.

General Aro / Aromantic flags

Arospec / Arospectrum flag

Aroflux

Demiaro / Demiromantic

Greyaro / Greyromantic ( or Grayaro / Grayromantic )

Litharo / Lithromantic

and finally, a template for any flags I didn't include!

Free for anyone to use anywhere as always because this is just for fun; I don't need credit but I'd Love ( ha ) to see if anyone else makes anything with these so feel free to tag me if you do !!

( This is just a silly joke for a friend. I don't claim to own anything about this logo and if this already exists than I'm sorry, please link me to OP !! )

If you want the exact border outline to make flags with white stripes more visible, the line is just a 3px layer style stroke effect that's the same color as the letters. Be Free.

Greyromantic — A term with three generally accepted defintions:

A term for people somewhere between aromantic and alloromantic.

A term for people on the aromantic spectrum whose experiences are not fully captured by the aromantic label.

A term for people on the aromantic spectrum who experience some level of romantic attraction (e.g. demiromantic, frayromantic, etc.)

Also called grey-aro or grey-aromantic. Alternatively spelled grayromantic, gray-aro, or gray-aromantic.

Etymology, flag symbolism, and further info is below the cut.

Etymology — From "grey area" in application to attraction/aromanticism.

Flag Symbolism — The flag symbolism is as follows:

The green-tinted stripes represent greyromantic people who identify as part of the aromantic spectrum.

The pink-tinted stripes represent greyromantic people who identify as part of the alloromantic spectrum.

The grey stripes with no tint represent greyromantic people who identify as neither aro-spec nor alloromantic-spec.

The desaturation represents greyromanticism as a whole, as well as a sense of fuzziness or blurriness common among greyromantic people.

Stripes get thinner towards the center, representing how it can be difficult to pinpoint where one falls on the spectrum, and how identities can blur together.

It is based on my greysexual flag, with some color changes inspired by the aromantic flag.

people are not only assumed to be or want to be in a relationship, but they are also assumed - at a certain age - to have had multiple relationships already.

"what was your hardest breakup" "what would you do if your ex wanted you back" i don't have an ex! i've never gone through a breakup!

this also ties in with the idea that you "should" only get into a serious long-term relationship if you have previous experience in relationships and like... no relationship could have prepared me because i have only experienced romantic attraction to my partner. whom i'm in a serious long-term relationship with. no trial relationships without romantic attraction could have prepared me for this. especially not when i didn't even have motivation to get into any kind of relationship, because up until i met my partner, i always pictured myself growing old alone because i just never felt ~that way~ for anyone.

there are so many ridiculous assumptions and norms around romantic relationships. to hell with all of it.
