A few years ago I made a comic explaining what non SAM aro meant to me. Thought I'd see if I could remake it
Happy ASAW!
I have good news, and I have bad news. Contrary to what ppl usually do, I’ll start with the bad news first.
The bad news, is that black aro culture will no longer be accepting tumblr submissions. I use tumblr on the website through my phone, and it’d waaaay too easy to forget abt it’s existence. I also feel like, as a black socialist, i feel like despite the beautiful black community that’s here i can’t stand white aro tumblr at times. And with it being so white it’s hard to feel like i actually have a culture i can really interact with. The good news, is that this is not the end of black aro culture. Because…..
Check out the Black Aros Group community on Discord - hang out with 5 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
black aro culture is moving to discord!!!
Yep, that’s right! Our little community will be here and much closer together. You can still post tumblr like anon submissions through the confessions bot in the #black-aro-culture-is channel!!
The only requirements is that you are 16 years old or older, black or mixed with black, and aromantic/arospec! I intend the server also to be aroallo friendly the best I can!
I will probably still interact with other posts, and post the last remaining submissions in my inbox, but after that, that’s it.
I hope y’all understand and are excited for this change as I am. Let’s build more community together <3

Happy 10th Anniversary!
This anniversary is not only ours, it is YOURS too. Because YOU are what makes this blog and this community possible!
To celebrate, take a trip with us down memory lane and check out our anniversary zine, filled with messages from other members of this community:
➜ Download the zine (pdf).
If you want to print a copy of the zine, download this file and print on both sides of a page before folding into a booklet.
We're also very happy to debut our new logo!
Isn't it amazing? Keep an eye out for the new Aro Movies Monday and Aro Tunes Thursday redesigns as well. This new visual identity was commissioned to @marirumo, a designer we've already collaborated with on previous projects; we're very grateful for her constant support!
And last but not least, thank you so much for these past ten years. Here is to many more to come! Happy anniversary!
Can I interest anyone in some fantasy and horror books with aro protagonists for Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week?
Hello, fellow fandom-obsessed creatives! Please join us for the 11th edition of #AggressivelyArospecWeek in what is officially our tenth year holding this event!
Every year, #AggressivelyArospecWeek (#AAW) is an occasion to promote the creation of arospec fancontent by arospec creators. For an entire week, people on the aromantic spectrum celebrate their experiences through fandom and art.
For this event, “fancontent” means any creation related to a fandom, whether it’s a headcanon, a piece of meta, fanfic, fanart, a playlist,… All fandoms are welcome!
The content created for this event should center a character’s arospec identity (this can be a canon identity or a headcanon).
We only accept entries from creators who identify as being on the aromantic spectrum or who are questioning whether they might be.
This event is an opportunity for creators to explore their identities through fanwork within a supportive community. It’s also a perfect way for fans of all kinds (arospec or not) to enjoy art and have fun!
Join us from June 21 to June 27 2026 for an explosion of arospec fancontent on your dash!
To submit content to the event, please make a new post between June 21 and June 27 and tag it as #AggressivelyArospecWeek. You can also submit your work directly to our blog through the ask and submission boxes. Your post will then be shared on the Aggressively Arospec blog.
A collection will also be opened on Archive of Our Own to round up all the fanfics posted on there. Just search for “Aggressively Arospec Week ‘26” in the “Post to collections” tab when you’re posting on AO3.
Help us make this year's edition another success! We’ve only come this far through your support and creativity.
Please, take a second to share this post so your followers get to join in the fun as well 💚
(For more information, check out our “About” page or our FAQ section. You can also check last year's FAQ if there's anything else you'd like to know. If you need some inspiration, you can also check out all previous submissions in our #AggressivelyArospecWeek tag.)

a zine i made for my first term in college🤍💚🩶🖤
Looking through some old notes and I found this poem I wrote when I was 17 back on Valentines Day 2018. Thought I could just throw it around here even if maybe I wouldn't say it's good nor is it my best work (then again, I'm not good at poetry at all).
@aggressivelyarospec turns 10 years old in 2026, and we want to hear from you!

Guess who finally made an aroace bracelettttt
a poem about being aroallo & polyamorous [TW negative language]
what do you do when your heart is full of love so much love it cannot be contained to one singular entity what do you do when that love is wrong is different is lacking the essential what do you do when a desire burns so deep inside of you a desire that's dirty and unfaithful what do you do when you don't fit the mould of tradition and everyone has left you behind
