many people want to know what the secret third thing is and i do know the answer but i'm notttttt telling you. it's literally a fucking secret 🙄

its literally not natural to be sexually attracted to someone

Idk man 8 billion might disagree

Bandwagon fallacy

aromantic characters who treat being told ‘i love you’ like it’s a threat, my beloved

aromantic characters who realize someone they’re close to is developing romantic feelings for them and expects them to return those feelings and go into fight or flight mode, my beloved

aromantic characters who feel romance closing on them like a bear trap and would rather chew off their own leg than be caught in it, my beloved

listen to me. if youre aro you have to be louder about it. i dont care how loud about it you are already you have to be louder. if we have to be surrounded knee deep by amatonormativity all the time every day its good for the soul to be loud and annoying about your aromanticism

sex is a distraction from your true purpose in life which is to go to the aquarium and look at the fish and go "wooooooaaah.... fishies". cmon guys we all need to lock in.

gonna be really honest i do think that if you’re not aromantic you’re missing out 🖤

this post obviously touches on the fact that the human experience is infinitely variable and there are fantastic aspects of every way of life that are often unique to that experience. and also i think aromanticism is cool as fuck and everyone Should have fomo about it 🙂‍↕️

you can be loveless. You can literally be loveless. It’s allowed. You aren’t, like, evil or anything. You are in fact awesome. Please accept yourself and be compassionate to yourself if you are loveless. It is not something wrong with you.

i have a suggestion :))

imagine if people actually took romantic consent seriously. wouldn't it be fucking awesome. i know they never will, but just. take a moment and imagine it with me

I cannot produce the words to describe how deeply I am disgusted by the way a lot of people talk about being nonbinary as a temporary stepping stone to becoming "full-trans."

“there are always more fish in the sea!” babe no offense but i just really sincerely do not want to go fishing

from some of the comments i am seeing about having a hard time with fishing or wanting to fish in a specific way or looking for a white whale or wanting to skip the fishing and go straight to having a fish i feel i need to clarify the metaphor. this is not about the fishing itself to me as much as the fish. there’s this whole societal thing that pushes people to feel like they should be eating fish all the time and while fish are awesome for some people!! and while some people Want fish but don’t like the pressure about it!! i do not like fish i do not want fish and in fact i often feel as if i may exhibit an allergic reaction to seafood

you want to be romantically attracted to someone? the thing that killed romeo and juliet?

Shout-out to aromantic people whose lives are so fucking busy that they periodically forget what day of the week it is. today is Wednesday, June 5th. Happy Aromantic Visibility Day.

Today is Thursday, June 5th. Happy Aromantic Visibility Day.

It's June 5th again!

momentarily had the thought “shout out to my platonic harem” and then remembered that’s called friends

at least the colour green exists
