hey y'all! i need some perspective on aromanticism and alterous attraction because i've been questioning my (a)romantic attraction and it's hard for me to understand some things, so if any aroflux, greyromantic and/or alterous fellas wanna talk about that, can you send me a dm or something? i would love to listen to your experiences and share some thoughts!
Yo so I’m thinking of starting a greyromantic-culture-is blog, which would be exactly what it says on the tin: ppl would be able to submit their greyromantic hcs, greyromantic experiences, and just things that give them greyro vibes in general (and, let’s be fr, it’s probably gonna skew heavily towards shitposting). I’d also wanna compile resources relating to greyromanticism, as well as other arospec identities, and maybe share a few of my own experiences. This is just a poll to gauge interest
So, ya interested?
yes
no
you do you/I’m bald
Also, if you wanna be @-ed once it’s up, lemme know and I’ll be sure to do so
I doubt my aromantic identity a lot.
I want to date. I am very romance positive. I think I’ve had crushes before? Love is something I dive headfirst into - hell, I’ve even called myself ‘love incarnate’ multiple times. Shouldn’t I be, like, disqualified or something?
Like, yeah, my ‘crushes’ are usually sexual/platonic, any romantic attraction is very few and far between, and wanting to date is just nebulous and no attraction to anyone in particular (more just a vague yearn).
but it still feels…weird. I don’t relate with a lot of the community because of my experiences. It’s isolating. Yeah, I’ll stand with the rest of us - support every aro or support none of them - but it’s…lonely. I guess I just want to meet more people like me.
I know I’m aro. The label and its community has made a lasting impact on me, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see the world the same way again. (This is awesome!!) but I guess I just feel…alone, sometimes. For how it presents in me. This leads to doubt.
but in the wise words of punkitt - “do whatever you want forever.”
Platonic crushes are so much more interesting and fun than romantic crushes
Like, there's a lot of overlap, but being best friends with someone seems a lot less stressful and demanding than bring their romantic partner

After surviving the Soul Sword Massacre, Raphael Santiago is pulled into another world and forced to watch himself live a life as a mundane. This Raphael is a law professor in Melbourne, has a close relationship with Rosa and is married to Simon Lewis.
It is the life he has always craved. It is the life he can never have. Still, it makes him rethink some things, like the possibility that someone would marry him despite his disinterest in sex.

This is my second fandom trumps hate gift for 2023 @fandomtrumpshate, this time for @myulalie, a character study of Raphael Santiago taking place after 2x10 in Melbourne. I appreciate her patience and I hope people enjoy this!
I feel like the sexuality spectrum's a sphere and I exist at one of the corners
OKAY,
Following up on my (not really that recent) freakout,
I have decided that I am not quite demiromantic; rather that I knew a very limited amount of aromantic terms and I clicked to demiromantic as something that I kinda related to.
Instead, until further notice, I have decided that I am probably quoiromantic (otherwise known as WTFromantic), which basically means that I can’t really differentiate between romantic and other attractions. Its meaning can vary to different people, but to me that’s basically what it means.
I still experience whatever I experience like very rarely and so I’m just gonna use greyromantic as an umbrella term for now, but yeah! Quoiromantic is the closest I can get atm.
Thanks for putting up with my discovering of the aro community and the overall aspec community!!
since ppl are talking about ace ppl they have crushes on.. I have an s/o who's greyromantic! back in april we got together and it's been alot of fun! we're long distance but I'm wishing that when i'm an adult i can move to be with them.. right now that's my dream! it doesn't matter what i have to do really, they deserve the world and so much more and i want to give it all to them.
This warms my heart!! Let’s do our best, okay? =D
