Being aromantic while liking romantic media is like sitting in the greatest cuck chair of all time. A cuck throne, if you will. Guards! Make them kiss! 🫵 and leave me out of it

the nosebleed seats are the most comfortable cuck chair of all time

GUYS ITS TOO SOON

it's never the wrong time for aromanticism to be trending

I feel like a lot of "How do I know I'm aromantic?" resources focus on never having been in a relationship (god I wish that were me), so here are some signs that you might be aromantic if you are in a relationship and considering it:

• Feels like a performance, or you are copying things you have seen in other relationships

• When people comment on or ask about your relationship, it makes you uncomfortable

• After having sex, the more intimate touches/cuddles do not feel as good

• Wanting more independence or time alone

• Thinking if your partner cheated on you, you wouldn't care

• Being scared that you might cheat despite having no desire to be with anyone else

• Words like "partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc" all feel wrong, and you don't like them being applied to you

• Not having a strong feeling of missing your partner like you're "supposed" to

• Questioning your sexuality/preferences despite being confident in who/what you're attracted to

• Feeling like you're lying if you appreciate gifts or affection from them, even if you really do appreciate it

• Saying "I love you" feels fine, but it holds the same weight when you say it to anyone else

• Not wanting to tell anyone about your feelings because you're afraid you will be misunderstood

Anyway, that's all I got. I hope it helps someone out there. I'm still struggling too, but I think we will all be okay! <3

NEED more people to start considering yandere media as a metaphor for aromanticism pls pls pls.

like, there’s one singular person who loves you in a deeper, more intimate way than anyone else ever has or ever will. you should be spending your whole life with this one person, because they will never leave you—because their love is deeper, which means it’s purer, which means it supersedes all others. you can’t fathom loving someone the way they do, but if you told them so, they would only keep pushing and tell you that you just didn’t understand. that you just had to try a little harder, and eventually you would learn.

and the best part of all this is that it’s *meant* to be terrifying. it’s one of the few tropes that genuinely portrays romance as a psychological horror, and the horror of it is the love itself!! you aren’t wrong for being unable to understand, *they’re* wrong for trying to push something on you that you can’t return.

this may not make sense but i needed to get my thoughts out bc this has been in my head for a while now </3

where's that post that's like "romance as horror" i know it's been reblogged on here at least twice
