1/2 About how I started identifying as aro : I used ´pan’ for a very long time. I never had a lot of crushes -maybe like, two in 18 years of life. I had two partners, and I loved them both (after they told me they loved me, which made me wonder if I really, truly loved them). I’ve had friends loving me in a romantic way before, and it always felt uncomfortable. I wondered for a very long time if I was Aro because of that lack of crushes. I started using it a few months ago and

2/2 I started using it a few months ago and it feels comfortable. I love the flag, love the way it’s a spectrum and I love the community I found. We’re so accepting, from what I’ve seen ! I’m ace/demisexual, and it’s also something I thought about for a long time.Splitting the different forms of attraction really helped me understand and accept that I can find someone beautiful or want to cuddle without it having any romantic meaning.I still struggle with being proud of who I am, it’ll change

Thanks for sharing!

🛒 and 🥺 for the fanfic writer ask game ?

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Oh, that's such a good one! It's funny you should ask because I'm currently trying to pinpoint them because I wanna go back to original fiction and I figured it'd be easier if I knew what I write about lmao ^^

I think the biggest ones would be: found family, hurt/comfort (I'm incapable of writing anything else, even though I try very hard), (grand)mother-daughter relationship, tactile comfort (aka my fics usually feature lots of hugs or comforting kisses/touches), forgiveness and usually exploration of traumas with a dose of panic attack sprinkled in ^^ Oh, lots of friendship and female solidarity also!

Re-reading this, I'm not sure this answers the question actually lmao

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Well, linked to my previous answer but, the moment character A (usually the maternal figure) takes character B in their arms for a very tight hug after character B just spilled their feels or had a panic attack. I write those scenes and after I'm just a little bundle of feels for a few minutes and I have to pause to let myself recover. It's the support, the sweetness of it all, you know?

(Can you tell this is how my mum helps me when I'm a mess? 😅😅)

Thank you so so much for the ask!! I really really love the question you picked and I really really loved answering them <3
