YES, i’m aromantic and ace-spec/asexual and a shifter.
YES, i am shifting to realities where i’m on the aro-spec instead and am not on the ace spectrum.
YES, i am shifting to realities where i’m alloromantic allosexual.
YES, i am shifting to realities where i’m on the aro-spec and am part of the ace-spec that experiences some sexual attraction.
YES, i can do that.
and no, it does not mean i believe something is wrong with me, with being aroace. not at all. i love being aroace in this reality, and always will be, and i love that.
do i want to see what it’s like for allos/other aroaces, though? yes. it does not mean i’m not content and happy with who i am. it simply means i’m curious and would love to explore other realities with other possibilities.
and it’s the same thing as shifting to a reality where you’re a dragon or an animal, or shifting to go see hogwarts, or anything else like that. it’s cuz you’re curious, you wanna know what EVERYTHING is like, leave NO experience out, even experiences that you can’t get here or don’t want to even have HERE.
and i think every shifter is curious at some point in their shifting journey—or at least it would be cool if they considered stuff like that—where they’re like, “okay, but what would i be like if THIS was different? who would i be? what would i experience? how would it change things?”
it’s such an awesome thing too. thinking about it. how you can shift to a reality where this core part of you in your CR is and was never a part of your DR self.
it’s just fucking cool. and i’m shifting realities to see what my DR selves are like. what i’m like there. with all the infinites possibilities.
and i can’t wait to shift back here, and think, “huh, okay, THAT’S what romantic/sexual attraction feels like.” and feel that i definitely don’t feel that here, and be happy. cuz somewhere in the multiverse i do feel it, here is one of the realities i do not, and that is fucking amazing.
