#aro 1d

who calls harry his partner but then when he feels romance negative he adds on “in friendship”

who rapidly changes the subject when people ask what his interest in people is because “death is kinder”

[pulls aside the shower curtain] romance is a - stop screaming harry-, romance is a myth, it’s a capitalist ideal-

sitting in harry’s lap and cuddling close when he feels Romantic but then suddenly it changes and he just freezes and goes “this doesn’t mean anything right” and harry just agrees because louis’s comfort is his priority always

making a chart for his fluctuations and giggling when he realises how fucking rapid it is sometimes (there’s two dots two minutes apart one time and harry grins at him and just goes “you’ve always been an indecisive fuck”

louis who slings himself into other peoples laps at all times and quietly goes “c’n we kiss? you can say no” (bc consent is Key) n they almost always say yes, jus jolt his chin up n grin against his mouth

he learns which type of kissing he likes best (soft, sleepy warm kisses are generally reserved for niall and he normally has long but not real heavy makeout sessions with harry. he tried kissing liam once n it was a mutual decision to Never do that again

he starts giggling every time someone asks if they’re in a relationship, bc “kissing isn’t relationship material especially if u kiss like he does-” (waht the fuck -harry)

louis leaving lipstick kisses on peoples cheeks n necks n revelling in the way it gets people into shit

can you give some aro louis headcanons?

when asked what his favourite colour is he just says, with a Monotone Voice, “every green in sight”

harry mocks him because “that’s my eye colour”. louis kicks him in the shin for destroying something so pure, so wholesome,

when people ask about his Love Life he’s always like. i’m dating myself right now!! have you ever tried it !! it’s great

being? the King Of Self Love? everyone is like. i feel awful bc all my friends have partners and i dont want any :( n louis’s like. treat yourself. write things about people being Aro n Proud. date yourself. nap if you want to and binge watch youtube vids without guilt. who’s gonna stop you?? no one

anyone: so what’s the dating scene look like for you right now ;)

louis got the card suit tat just as an excuse to get the ace of spades on him, harry got the heart to match louis’s arrow/aro as a subtle joke bc they’re in a qpr n they both love to be dramatic

(”that’s forever”)

(”yes we know tattoos arent just for christmas”)

(”that’s literally not what i meant”)

(”we’ll raise them well”)

(”please never talk to me again”)

louis’s “far away” tat is aro (”it’s far away from amatnormative assumptions” “i literally hate you”)

their half broken heart tattoos are there as a reminder they’re whole no matter what (”they’re broken” “it’s a metaphor” “how” “listen just because you have no faith-”)

that handshake tat is bc that’s all harry ever wants

yes good

louis who is romance positive and proud of it. doesn’t give a shit that it’s not the Norm for when you’re aro, because there’s nothing wrong with him for liking romance even if he doesn’t feel the attraction !! at all !!! 

louis who asks the others out on platonic dates, bc makin people feel good and loved is what he’s best at, and also he gets to spend a lot of time talkin about how romance isn’t half bad to people who understand him

louis who has an aro ring, (white with tiny lil arrows on) and wears it on a chain around his neck on Bad Aro Days, when he starts feeling like he’s not good enough bc of bein aro. that he’s “leading people on”

the others always notice when he’s wearing it, and they make it a Day Just For Him, (which like. every single day is. they would all die for louis, but Still) and constantly tell him he’s valid and real. it’s a competition to see who can make him cry fastest

louis who isn’t, like, 100% sure where he is on the spectrum, just knows he Doesn’t Really Feel Romantic Attraction, and is constantly spouting facts about different identities to anyone who’ll listen (harry is frequently bombarded w them, just bc he’s spent a lot of time questioning himself, and he and louis are practically the Resident Aro Experts)

niall yells at them when they say that

(2/2) so louis goes and has to be like "stop being so dramatic what were u doin!" And harry eventually tells him at breakfast like 3 days later and louis laughs so hard tht he forgets to answer. So aro harry is obviously like FINE. WHATEVER I DIDNT EVEN WANNA START THIS ANYWAY I JUST WANTED THE TAX BENEFITS And louis is like "tax benefits??? Ofc we can do tht dork!" And then they hav milkshakes or summat :3 anyway this was a mess I'm sorry lol

louis who takes himself on Big Adventures and Dates, and loves sitting curled up in the corner of a fancy restaurants that smell of Money, because he’s worth it on his own and romantic partners don’t define him

louis who makes it his Purpose to be a safe space for people, who learns terms and definitions and recites them as he’s sleeping, because if there’s one thing he wants to be, it’s someone’s home

louis who dotes on his friends and makes them lip glosses and buys them things and makes valentines day Good for himself, because he’d spent ages spending it repulsed by it, but now he gets to treat his Best Friends, and it’s not misconstrued

louis who gets worried when friends have romantic partners, because he’s been shoved to the side before, but they always, always make sure he’s never left behind, because they love him regardless

louis who paints the aro flag on his walls to surround himself in something good, and beautiful, a reminder that he’s valid even when it feels like he isn’t

louis who steers people out of the way when romance gets brought up, who willingly pretends to be a boyfriend for people who aren’t out yet (who helps people come out when they haven’t got anyone else)

louis who’s in a qpr with harry, and does romantically coded things, and it doesn’t matter, and if anyone says that makes him Invalid, niall, harry, zayn and liam all come together to defend him, the way he always does for them
