Aros of Tumblr, I need quotes from you!!
Currently, my partner and I are working together to write about aromanticism, and we would like to include some of y'alls experiences with that. Your stories are important to us and to the process of spreading awareness of aromanticism.
With this book, we plan to focus less on scientific studies and moreso the personal. I am not a scientist nor will I ever try to be.
We want to focus mainly on what it's like being aro in an allo world, and so I encourage all types of aros to participate, regardless of your experiences. We won't be able to include everyone, but I'm hoping to quote a variety of you all.
I especially encourage non-aces to participate. I understand the struggle that comes with having our identity co-opted with asexuality while still being misunderstood.
Recently, I came to the decision to identify with the non-SAM aro label for this reason. We deserve to have the focus on us.
Now, that doesn't mean that I will turn away anyone who identifies as ace for this. That's not the point. I just wish to encourage people who may feel anxious about this book being focused on asexuality to feel confident in the possibility of having their aromanticism be the focus.
If you wish to participate, the form is linked below.
(Note: By filling out this survey, you are consenting to the possible use of your words and experiences in our writing. If you ever wish to rescind your answers, please DM me. We will not be using your quotes without contacting you first, with an excerpt of how it has been used. Thanks!)
I hope you are willing to share your experiences with us!

For the first anniversary of Cour 1 of Tiger & Bunny 2 being released, TnBuddyWeek over on Twitter asked: "Which pair ended up being most dear to your heart?"
And for me, it's t's definitely FireSky. They are everything to me 🥺❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
So I drew a little thing, but... shhh. The King of Buddy Heroes needs some rest, and the Queen of Buddy Heroes apparently does make a good pillow... At least to him. ❤️💜

***Tiger & Bunny 2 cour 2 SPOILERS AHEAD***
Reasons why FireSky ARE LITERALLY EVERYTHING OMG 😭
THE FREAKING PHONE CALL. I am dead. Deceased. They are softness personified around each other and I CANNOT.
Keith's heart went "bokun-bokun" when he first got his suit, which Nathan obviously finds ADORABLE. ❤❤❤
Nathan became a hero when she was just starting to get more self-confident, and she was unsure about her ability to defend the city... MY LOVE YOU ARE PERFECT NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF AGAIN 😭😭😭
Keith, who can't really fly as freely without his suit, misses it... as "a symbol of peace". He is literally goodness personified I CANNOT 😭😭😭
They are now each holding one of John and Johnjohn's leashes YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS WAS A DREAM OF MINE THEY ARE A FAMILY 😭😭😭😭
Also: "I miss our suits and PDAs so much..." "Yeah, they were like part of our bodies..." What they remember doing with them as they say this stuff:
I MEAN. Name a more besotted-with-each-other couple (the only valid answer is Taibani BTW, and it is only a draw)
Like. They are the definition of "as long as we have each other" here. 😭 And the way he loos at her! I just... 🥺🥺🥺
And this. THIS.
Listen. LISTEN. I literally learned how to make GIFs on the spot just to make this. These two have unprecedented power over me and I am incredibly OK with it. LOOK AT THEM! 🥺🥺🥺
Look at the way Nathan smiles at Keith when he catches them!!! If that helmet hadn't been in the way, she would have kissed him on the spot.
And...
THEIR FINAL SCENE OMG 😭😭😭
Like... if I never get to see them again, I will know that the last thing I got was them literally walking off into the sunset (a sunset WITH THEIR COLORS, btw) together, telling each other that they make each other feel safe, they are happy to be together, and they want to continue being together in the future.
I'm just... so grateful for them. I will love them forever. 😭
I have so many feelings about them. I know they’re probably not gonna go canon but they’re as close as we’re gonna get for any of the relationships in that show and it’s so ah
THEY ARE EVERYTHING 😭😭😭
(I'm sorry, you pulled this post out of storage and it comes with me blubbering about them uncaffeinated first thing in the morning)
I don't think Tiger & Bunny would make any relationship undeniably canon, yeah
But FireSky is such a choice, I really can't get over it 🥺 Pairing up these two characters in particular is so meaningful, and it was done in such a sweet and perfect way 😭
Like... All of the Buddy pair establishing episodes in the first cour of season 2 have elements that could work perfectly well as part of a romantic plot. Taibani is a bickering married couple, Ryan thinks Rose is cheating on him, Lara's mom doesn't approve of Pao-Lin, and so on.
But FireSky... As Nathan's voice actor, Kenjiro Tsuda, said in an interview, of course their conflict would stem from them being too considerate with each other 🥺
And once they solve it, they end up giving each other massive heart eyes for the rest of the season, and going to a cooking class together, and holding one leash of Keith's dogs each as they jog, and making plans (a bit jokingly, but still) to keep working together even if not as heroes, and having the most adorable and intimate interactions, and ASDFGHJKL all they're missing is an actual marriage license 💖😭💖

some of the best writing advice I’ve ever received: always put the punch line at the end of the sentence.
it doesn’t have to be a “punch line” as in the end of a joke. It could be the part that punches you in the gut. The most exciting, juicy, shocking info goes at the end of the sentence. Two different examples that show the difference it makes:
doing it wrong:
She saw her brother’s dead body when she caught the smell of something rotting, thought it was coming from the fridge, and followed it into the kitchen.
doing it right:
Catching the smell of something rotten wafting from the kitchen—probably from the fridge, she thought—she followed the smell into the kitchen, and saw her brother’s dead body.
Periods are where you stop to process the sentence. Put the dead body at the start of the sentence and by the time you reach the end of the sentence, you’ve piled a whole kitchen and a weird fridge smell on top of it, and THEN you have to process the body, and it’s buried so much it barely has an impact. Put the dead body at the end, and it’s like an emotional exclamation point. Everything’s normal and then BAM, her brother’s dead.
This rule doesn’t just apply to sentences: structuring lists or paragraphs like this, by putting the important info at the end, increases their punch too. It’s why in tropes like Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking or Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, the odd item out comes at the end of the list.
Subverting this rule can also be used to manipulate reader’s emotional reactions or tell them how shocking they SHOULD find a piece of information in the context of a story. For example, a more conventional sentence that follows this rule:
She opened the pantry door, looking for a jar of grape jelly, but the view of the shelves was blocked by a ghost.
Oh! There’s a ghost! That’s shocking! Probably the character in our sentence doesn’t even care about the jelly anymore because the spirit of a dead person has suddenly appeared inside her pantry, and that’s obviously a much higher priority. But, subvert the rule:
She opened the pantry door, found a ghost blocking her view of the shelves, and couldn’t see past it to where the grape jelly was supposed to be.
Because the ghost is in the middle of the sentence, it’s presented like it’s a mere shelf-blocking pest, and thus less important than the REAL goal of this sentence: the grape jelly. The ghost is diminished, and now you get the impression that the character is probably not too surprised by ghosts in her pantry. Maybe it lives there. Maybe she sees a dozen ghosts a day. In any case, it’s not a big deal. Even though both sentences convey the exact same information, they set up the reader to regard the presence of ghosts very differently in this story.
