Funnier When Aromantic

i'm a lover not a fighter i'm a hater not a dater

do you ever watch a movie and it’s like. I’m too aro for this

what is it about the least canon-compliant aromantic headcanons that makes them the best. like when a character shows no romantic attraction okay that is pretty awesome. but when romance is a big part of a character/plot? oh now we're fucking cooking

[ID: Tumblr tags saying: "the feeling was friendship but neither of them had ever experienced it before". End ID.]

funniest response you can give to someone telling you they love you: "skill issue"

sorry y'all but I think Not Dating kind of rules actually. I well and truly can in fact do whatever I want forever

don't reblog this to insist Pluto should be a planet I will bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you bite you

"what does attractive even mean" Sokka you're so fucking real for that

I just think dating is a scam like 90% of the time. Joker voice And I'm tired of pretending it's not

I can buy the concept of romance existing but the social song and dance of Dating specifically is so, like. Ok. So we're all just expected to walk around performing desirability & having coffee with people you find mildly interesting & Hopefully you will Feel Something for one of them. & if you keep it up long enough you can get legally bound and financially dependent on each other and have kids or something, not because you want them but because you're so fucking normal. This is supposed to be your #1 priority in life btw. Are you insane?

And people will be like "you'll never be happy if you don't successfully have coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting, it's so sad that you're not having coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting" & I'm sitting here like I don't think that's true actually I think I'm doing pretty good. I have other things fulfilling my admittedly lower than average need for human connection, like friends

i- (remembers that i dont feel love) dont love you ⭐

loveless aromantic/aplatonic magical girl who uses the power of incandescent rage instead of the power of love or friendship is this anything

i am SO down for this. indie animators are you listening

god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will

w … wh … where’s the rest of the essay, op? 

no i actually don’t think that romance is an inherent good

You know the fact that so many people see the insistence that you don’t like someone romantically as confirmation that you do like them romantically is horrifying when you really think about it
