(Image description: 16 different images of valentine’s day-themed sayings, all with aromantic themes and overlaid on the flag for aromantic pride.
The first one says: “Thank you for existing in my vicinity”
The second one says: “My life is better for having you in it”
The third one says: “I love you as much as my little aro heart will allow”
The fourth one says: “I want our friendship to make people take bets on whether our relationship is romantic or not”
The fifth one says: “Thank you for not making me feel less important to you than, or trivial in comparison with your primary partner. It means a lot to me.”
The sixth one says: “The way society treats the word and concept of ‘friends’ falls short of how important you are to me”
The seventh one says: “Mainstream society can’t comprehend the nature of my love for you”
The eighth one says: “Thanks for taking me and my identity seriously”
The ninth one says: “Thank you for taking the time to understand me and how I show affection”
The tenth one says: “If i have to pretend to have a partner for safety or financial reasons, I’d choose you”
The following ones are continued on the further addition to the initial post.
The eleventh one says: “I’d run errands with you”
The twelfth one says: “If you want to start a queer commune that supports itself through artist prints, zines, organically grown produce, and homemade jams, pickles, breads and pies - hit me up”
The thirteenth one says: “Thank you for being patient with me. I have a hard time trusting that people will be satisfied by my friendship unless it’s directly and continuously beneficial to them, and therefore not about my friendship at all but rather how helpful I can be”
The fourteenth one says: “You have my explicit permission to eat off my plate whenever. Expires never.”
The fifteenth one says: “I don’t like the concept of valentine’s day, especially the materialism and performative aspects of it, and I’d far rather kill the holiday altogether than attempt to co-opt it because it feels like a form of surrender or conformity to do so (also I hate how childish ‘palentine’s day’ sounds) but I’ll take what I can get in terms of getting other forms of relationships recognized”
The sixteenth one says: “Like 7 years ago I read a particularly disturbing comic involving a marvel villain who could ‘homebrew’ specialized diseases within himself and spread them as a symptomless patient zero, while a vase of pungent roses rotted in our living room. I can’t stand the smell of them now, it only makes me think of plague and death. Please don’t give me roses.”
