A Place For Demiromantics

Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real

fun fact "a-spec people can still feel love even if it's different from what amatonormative society considers love" and "some people don't experience love at all and that's fine and doesn't make them any less human or worthy of respect" are two statements that can and do coexist

it’s actually so baffling me to me that when loveless aros express not wanting their identities to be defined by love ppl will literally whip out the most specific n strange tangents on ‘love’ that you’ve ever heard under like EVERY one of these posts. theres always at least one person going ‘ok but have u ever seen a bee pollinate a flower. have u ever smiled at an old lady on the street. do u not relish the smell of fresh horse shit in the countryside’ like. sorry but appreciating the general world around me isn’t what i’d personally call love and frankly i don’t think it’s what most alloros would either!!! it’s interesting how y’all are suddenly so insistent on expanding the definition of love when and ONLY aros question and/or reject it 🤨

If you act like romance- and sex-favorable or partnering aro/ace people are less aro/ace I am coming at you with a comically large mallet! Approaching relationships and intimacy and sexuality from an aspec perspective requires a lot of introspection and knowing what you really want!! Nobody is "more aromantic" or "more asexual" for being completely repulsed and nonpartnering!!!

I am fucking begging for more repulsed aro/ace/aroace rep. No maybes, no gray areas, no queerplatonic, just disgust. Would rather jump off a cliff than have sex EVER. Rage-vomits when confessed to. Im tired

I hate you soulmates. I hate you love at first sight. I hate you true love's kiss. I hate you "loving makes you human". I hate you "love is the point". I hate you "finding your other half". I hate you relationship hierarchy. I hate you marriage as the highest form of love. I hate you platonic love as a substitute for romantic love. I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate

official aromantic post

crushes dont exist they made those up for hanahaki disease

mfs be like "are you single or taken" and like technically im single but that implies that im availible, which i most definitely am not so yes im taken. im taken by me. you cant have me.

shipping as an aro sometimes feels like creative building with toys as a kid. like, it's not "the manual says these two pieces fit together like this". it's a lot more of, "i wonder if i put these pieces like this, and then do this, what will happen?"
