Recipro: someone who only experiences attraction if the someone feels attracted to them first

I finished the art!

This will be the last post of asexual awareness month, so I thought I’d end with a bang

I based each one off of a specific race/nacionality, and I did decide their genders (if you want to know, ask, as I don’t want to clog up this post), essencially to show that the community is very diverse

They’re supposed to essencially be in a pride convention, which is why their flags are painted on their faces for the most part

Would I do this again? Nope. Not exactly this way, at least. I got sick of it around abro, and I just powered through. That’s the biggest reason why this looks kinda bad, if I had the patience I would’ve polished it more. I do want to do something somewhat similar for February since it has the aro week in it (teaser woo), but DEFINITELY not this again.

I might make sketches of them separately once my eyes heal from staring at all those neon-y colors XD

A quick rundown on reciprosexuality

Reciprosexuality is a sexuality underneath the asexual umbrella. Someone who identifies as reciprosexual will not experience sexual attraction unless they know someone is attracted to them.

Ex. If a coworker finds someone who is reciprosexual attractive, and the person who is reciprosexual knows this, then they could reciprocate the attraction. If the coworker doesn't find them attractive, and the person who is reciprosexual knows this, then the attraction will not be reciprocated.
