everybody! quick! tell me what aro joy means to you <2

#i will go first. breaking the boundaries set in place by the systems of love and romance is so cool#and i feel like it opens up so many possibilities.#like i've said in a poem before aromanticism to me is not a lack of anything it's an opening of the world before me...#it is also! the fact that i have had to contend with the thought of a future living my life alone#and now i am not only at peace with it but so happy with the idea. so overjoyed at the thought of spending my life with myself.#self esteem and delight and choosing what you want and making a life that is really and truly your own#without society's expectations changing it and without someone else's expectations changing it#AND. being sexy as fuck. aromanticism to me#if you don't feel aro joy rn you are not allowed to bemoan the experience on this post. i care dearly for you but go find another post.#before you do that though. take a second and look through the notes... hopefully people will have put some good stuff in there...#it is hard to get to the point of aromanticism bringing you joy sometimes BUT. by fucking god you can get there.#and it is so so fantastic...#aromantic#aromanticism#arospec#talking#aspec#aroace#aro positivity#aro joy#aromantic positivity

I really want a t4t qpr. Like I see all these cute couples and shit on pinterest and instagram and I'm just sitting here like yes, but platonically. Idek what I mean to be honest. I want someone who I can do all of those things with, kiss, cuddle and be happy. But like without the pressure for it to be romantic. Also I'd love to have someone that close who is trans as well. Someone who understands what I feel. Idk I guess I just want more.

#i've got that going on except i don't call it a qpr cause i don't consider it platonic either. really fucking awesome i can confirm#huge fan of being close with someone who doesn't expect romance or sex from me but wants a significant level of intimacy#and also listens when i talk about aromanticism and likes to hear me talk about aromanticism#and knows what i mean when i say 'i say 'i love you' as a placeholder cause i don't think i really feel love but it's the closest thing'#and we're t4t. you'll find it op. i believe in you

A big tumblr funny[person] blog gets an ask that’s like “what do you think about trans people? (I like your posts but want to make sure you’re not transphobic)” : TRANS PEOPLE ARE GREAT 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ we love and support trans people here!! :DDD 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ TERFs kill yourselves!! Easiest question in the world and I’ll answer it as many times as I have to!

A big tumblr funny[person] blog gets an ask that’s like “what do you think about asexual and aromantic people? (I like your posts but want to make sure you’re not aphobic)” : lol cringe. don’t try to drag me into stupid discourse. see this is why no one takes you seriously. I didn’t really care about them but now that you sent this I’m starting to become aphobic actually

You decide what way of labeling or not labeling yourself is useful for you. Whether that's labeling yourself more broadly, more specifically, not at all, or anything else.

if you infantilize me for being asexual i'm straight up killing you. and when i strew your intestines across the ground like a macabre piece of art and soak myself in blood and gore i'll earn myself that explicit label don't you worry

being asexual leaves me more time to think about the horrifying and repulsive methods of torture i could put you through for being a dick about the fact that i'm just not interested in sex. call that 18+ content the way i would never subject a child to what i'm about to put you through

(ID: two memes using the "it's 2025 i'm done arguing / if you hate X i'm straight up murdering you" meme format. the first says "aromantics" and has a picture of the aro pride flag, and the second says "asexuals" and has a picture of the ace pride flag. end ID)

give it up for year 4 of this meme!!!

I don't think you can do show don't tell aro or ace representation not because it's impossible but because even if you do it right the fandom still won't get it

#ANOTHER BANGER FROM AROMANTIC-DIARIES. CORRECT AS ALWAYS#i like. Hate when people do aspec representation with direct labels most of the time#fanfic problem mostly. he would not fucking say he was demisexual. he Is demisexual but that’s not the point here#anyway if it’s a period piece. or fantasy. or not set Right Here Right Now where we would use these specific words.#then aspec orientation isn’t something that like. should be described with our current terminology.#however the second someone doesn’t say the words out loud with their own mouth the fandom decides that sex and romance overcomes all canon#lmao… (not laughing)

by the way, if you're weird about aromantic heterosexual cisgender men, i kill you. if that man wants a purely sexual relationship with a woman and communicates that with her, and she agrees, hell yes. good for them. you have no right to be a bitch about that. that's frankly none of your god damn business. he's not "emotionally abusive" for wanting a specific type of relationship. you're being stupid and weird. and weirdly misogynistic, by assuming that women are inherently these helpless victims that have no agency or autonomy.

you're literally being the "the myth of consensual sex" meme when you talk shit about cishet aro men in purely sexual relationships with women.

I wanna add about a similar issue i see,

if somebody has openly communicated with you they want a purely sexual relationship, then thats what they said. those are the BOUNDARIES in place. aroallo people are not your romcom where you guys inevitable fall in love, and you trying to coerce somebody into a romantic relationship when they already set the boundary that they don't want that, you are ignoring their consent. point blank period. you are ignoring a partners boundaries and trying to force them into what they already said they don't want.

a lot of people will enter into these relationships and completely ignore the discussed boundaries because they think they are owed a relationship, you're not. you're not owed any type of relationship from anyone. aspec or not. if you discussed that's not what they want and you go into it with those intentions anyway, you are an unsafe person for people to be around.

consensual no strings attached, not even friendship or whatever, sex is okay. its beautiful. it's people being people. and some of you need to learn how to give basic respect and decency to folk who engage in this.
