We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.

There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:

A single income isn't enough to get by anymore

Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system

Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly

Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.

First panel: "As a child, unicorns were portrayed as delicate beings, always related to purity and innocence. But they can be strong, defiant, and brutal." There are two drawings of white unicorns, the first elegant, the other covered in blood.

Second panel: "As a child dragons were portrayed as vicious, cruel and violent beasts, capable of only harm and destruction. But they can also be caring, protective and gentle, to love and feel as any other being." Similar to the first panel, there are two black dragons, the first angry and blowing fire, the second taking care of its smaller, black child dragon.

Third panel: "Don't twist my words. I don't hate unicorns. Not at all. But everytime... I try to be one... I don't understand them. I don't think they understand me either." There is a black unicorn trying to interact and coexist with other white unicorns, but at the end the white unicorns walk away.

Fourth panel: "I know some dragons are still capable of causing great pain and suffering. I know it well first hand." The black unicorn is flinching back from a black dragon who has its jaws open and bloody. "And yet, everytime I look up at the sky, I just think:" The black unicorn looks up.

Fifth panel: The black unicorn is looking up at the sky, where a black dragon is flying.
