I think that the lack of aromantic spaces that aren't also asexual is a function of both amatonormativity and purity culture.
Either you're having sex for love, or you're a wh*re
So aroallo people struggle to proudly exist because we're labeled "shallow" or "unavailable" when we don't fit into the lines drawn for us, without us.
We're just as real and just as normal as anyone else, but the constant shame surrounding sex pushes us to label ourselves wrong.
I cannot be the only person who labelled myself aroace despite knowing it wasn't true because I was scared of what others may think of me, even in my own communities.
Well that's bullshit. I'm not going to live in the closet because of others' ignorance. I want to be loud and honest and maybe if I'm lucky, I can help someone else feel just a little bit less alone.
You don't have to be afraid of who you are. Who you are is cool as fuck.

Yay pride! As (unfortunately) a resident of the US, being queer and disabled often feels like setting myself up for horrible things. It's hard to be myself when that can be so dangerous, but change is on the horizon.
Life will not always be like this.
Change can start small, like drawing queer pride furry art for pride month. What's important is that we're sticking together and not letting them silence who we are!
The pride flags used in this image are the basic rainbow, trans, and AroAllo flags. How I view my personal identity is rather complicated, but these give the short of it <3
Many aromantic people experience the feeling of not being normal, even though our experiences are as normal as anyone else's. "I'm just like everyone else, fucked up like everyone else"
Also, "I could be a one night stand you crash into" for all my AroAllos out there
Animal - Sir Chloe
Honestly I don't feel the need to explain this one all that much. All the lyrics scream Aromantic if you've got it in your mind.
"I tried to love you, but you're not my type. Tried to pretend but it just don't feel right to be your number one"
i wanna slam my head against the wall - glaive
I don't know what I was thinking when I said this one lol
If I had to guess, I'd say it's just very relatable to the feeling of trying to force yourself to feel romantic attraction when you just don't. It's so very frustrating and depressing
Tonight Tonight - Hot Chelle Rae
The singer is totally unaffected by his girlfriend cheating on him, resolving to break up with her without a second thought. The most he feels about it is the same 'whatever, it doesn't matter, oh well' he gives to all the other unfortunate events in the lyrics
As well, he doesn't spare a single thought to another person romantically or sexually. He's totally focused on having a good time, but that good time doesn't involve getting with anybody else, very AroAce imo
Bad Boy - Cascada
This song is literally about wanting a sexual relationship from someone but not a romantic one, what more can I say
"Be my bad boy, be my man, be my weekend lover, but don't be my friend. You can be my bad boy, but understand that I don't need you in my life again."

Mairr finally has an updated reference sheet! Old sheet and extras below the cut :3
November of 2024 vs March of 2026!
Ngl, Mairr's 2024 ref haunts me. I hate looking at it lol, I was in a bit of a phase with how I drew feet (By which I mean I didn't and still don't know how to draw them.)
Anyway, here's the novel I wrote about the minor changes to her design
I might be too into character design.
Anyway, more design insanity with her weapon!
This is Firecracker! Firecracker is a magic staff originally owned by Mairr's mother, Cherri, and was passed down to Mairr when Cherri died at war. The color changes with its owner via magic :3
Each of the three would have the two that don't represent them on each inner wrist, so Mairr would have Viktor's tattoo on her right wrist and Atlas's on her left, for example.
It symbolizes how they'll always be there for each other, even if they're apart :)
I haven't drawn Sans in like 10 years but something possessed me to make this really quick. I'm actually pretty happy with it for something that just took a few minutes
Hey your arts awesome!!! Love it do u do requests because I've got a idea I'm really passionate about you'd be perfect to take on! It's a fusion between 2 of my favorite character designs ever! Mega Mawile and Bill Cipher! Ik you'd make a amazing design for it!
This was such an out there concept that I felt overly compelled to fulfill it.
This is just a rough concept I made on my phone (As it's a busy time for me) but I kinda love it?
There are a few things that would be adjusted and cleaned up like the twin mouths, but it overall gets a basic idea across. I'll come back to this at some point and clean it up, but I hope this rough sketch is nice in the meantime!
Adrien is 25 and alone. He's pushed everyone away and isn't in a rush to reconnect. All he wants to do is waste away with sex, drugs, and alcohol.
Luka is 27 and living in Paris again. Despite them not talking for 3 years, Luka decides to bring a shitfaced Adrien back to his houseboat for the night.
Adrien doesn't want Luka's help, but this time, Luka isn't going to walk away. He's going to help Adrien, even if it seems impossible to everyone else.
Notes about this fic!
This fic is set post season 5. Whether Ladybug told Adrien the truth instead of lying is ambiguous and isn't all that relevant. While some season 6 elements may appear, this fic is distinctly in a different canon with Adrien and Marinette never getting together.
Adrien is Pansexual Demiromantic, Luka is Pansexual
Adrien still lives in the mansion and Luka lives on Liberty (Anarka's boat). Anarka is off on an adventure or something while Juleka is off living her own life, leaving the boat for just Luka (and Sass).
Luka did go to Brazil for a time, but eventually came back. He and Marinette dated for a while after he returned to Paris, but broke up again when Luka discovered the truth about Monarch.
All Miraculous are in play, with them belonging to their season 6 owners.
I am a moth and write 10k words whenever I'm drawn to this light.

Enderhoof is a pegasus with a talent in writing. He was born in Cloudsdale, but he currently resides in Ponyville because he can't fly for long periods of time due to asthma. Although typically soft spoken, Enderhoof will go on at length if asked about what he's writing! He has tons of weird side interests to talk about, so strike up a conversation!
This is a redraw of my ponysona from April 2024!
I'm a lot happier with the redraw because the original looks a bit too much like the reference for my liking. While the redraw has its flaws, I think it has a lot more of my spirit in it! This version also feels a lot more like me instead of just being a pony that sorta looks like me lol. At the time, I didn't really know what my talent would be because I was really disillusioned with art and didn't really feel like I was a person outside of that. I like to think I'm doing better now and can say that I am a person outside of my art <3
After years of having Miraculous rotting my brain, I decided to finally make myself with the two main characters' miraculous. Of the two, I had more fun drawing CK but I'm really happy with how SC turned out.
Overall, Crimson Katt was easier to design because it was just fun! The BC miraculous has always been pretty fun and adaptable to me, so it wasn't hard to imagine a way I could fit into it! CK's name is definitely the weaker of the two, but I found 'Katt' to be funny enough to keep. I'd absolutely name myself a silly misspelling of 'cat'.
Star Crawler was more of a challenge. The name was beamed into my mind like a vision, but the rest wasn't so simple. I don't like when the costumes show skin, it feels wrong to me, but it honestly looks worse if I try to fill the space. So, while CK is fully covered and layered, SC has my tendency for tank tops! The star theme comes from my own love of stars (my room is covered in them) and I think it works well for a creation theme.
Both designs have differently colored hair because of my personal affinity for dyeing it :3
The two have some balance motifs for the obvious two sides parallels:
CK's hair is longer in the back with SC being longer in the front.
CK keeps my natural hair color while SC keeps my natural eye color.
SC's shoulders are out with CK's being hidden under a jacket
SC's hands are free while CK's are gloved
CK has taller boots compared to SC's shorter sneakers
Still, the two have a similar silhouette, showing they are just two forms of the same person. I think this is best shown by both wearing something on the same thumb. CK has the BC miraculous and SC has the yo-yo attached there.
This was pretty fun! That said, I don't plan on doing any other miraculous designs for myself lol. There's still a ton more details packed into these bad boys, so have fun looking at them :3
