Aro Pride - Blog Posts
All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D
More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!
I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D
If you would like to support my silly little dinosaur art, then you can buy any of these Prideaurs as stickers from my Etsy shop, which I just set up recently. I am pretty new to this entire business side of art things, but I am trying my best :D so a like or a reblog would go a long way. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words and support!

i dont usually post but to the aros and aces (including arospecs and acespecs) who feel like theyre missing out on milestones they always dreamed of since they were little kids, like your first kiss, boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, etc. etc.
you're not alone. your feelings are valid. you are allowed to mourn experiences even if you don't necessarily want them or have the heteronormative identity to have them. and mourning the "loss" of these experiences does not make your identity any less valid.
you are still aro. you are still ace. you are still loved.
happy pride <3
Any other aromantic people love reading romantic fan fiction but if a novel has romance it better also have something else going for it?
Like I live for fan fiction. I’ll read anything that involves my favourite characters but I will never read a romance novel. It needs to just be a side dish.
Like fantasy with a side of romance
Or dystopian with a small romance
So, I know I don’t feel sexual attraction or romantic attraction. But I get this weird feeling sometimes. I thought it was gender envy because I only felt it towards guys but then I felt it toward Dixie who want a guy the other day.
It’s like I feel like I want to complement the person but I don’t because I don’t want them to think I want to fuck them.
It’s definitely not aesthetic attraction because I know what that feels like.
But like, can I think someone is attractive “romantically” but not have romantic feelings.
My allo friends always talks about thinking people are pretty or cute or good looking but then when I ask they say they aren’t into them in any way.
So is this just like extrem aesthetic attraction or is it something else?

having an actual conversation with another aroace person is now on my 'top 10 best feelings ever' list
Yes!!! Queer platonic relashionship aren't a "level up or down" from friendships or romantic relationships, arent "just" a relationship without something more like romance or sex, and its frustrating how a lot of people just cant grip this concept, or TRY to explain while don't knowing anything.
Again, you don't have to understand!! Just respect!!!
I have a major soft spot for queerplatonic rships where at least one party is actually able to be attracted to the other. Queerplatonic ships where it's not "I would be in love with you if I was allo/gay/straight/bi/etc" but instead "I could be in love with you but I'm not because that's not the right relationship for either us and we're unbelievably happy with what we have."
Queerplatonic relationships are always treated as second string to romantic relationships, with an implication of "this relationship would be romantic if it could be", and that sucks. They're their own relationship, completely distinct from romance, and deserve to be treated as such.
being aroace is genuinely so isolating at times. having character relationships discussions where romance is seen as the "highest" form of a relationship can go. how friendships are sidelined or ignored. when queerplatonic relationships are sometimes written as this "substitute" to a romantic relationship without exploring the nuance there. how it's so hard to just explore art without someone wondering if the characters are going to hook up

In this post i will be coining a new term for the aromantic community;;
Somewharo
First Flag: [START ID: a rectangular flag with 6 equally-sized horizontal stripes, going from a dark teal to yellow :END ID]
Second Flag: [START ID: a rectangular flag with 9 equally-sized horizontal stripes. the first four stripes are a gradient from light blue-green to dark blue-green, the middle stripe is off-white, and the last four stripes are a gradient from dark green to soft yellow-green :END ID]
Somewharo is a term for those on the aromantic spectrum who feel like they are somehwere on it and just can place where. They either don’t fit into any of the pre-existing arospec labels, or fluctuate a lot on the aro spectrum, or can’t place where due to neurodivergency.
People who use this term may or may not use aroflux alongside it.
Shout out to @arokill for the white stripe flag!
(will have image IDs soon)
Please RB it helps a lot!!!
Upon reflection and the realisation that Sen is def aroace (because I need the representation) and this is def their relationship.
Please excuse my crappy photography

Never in my life have I found a post that actually makes me feel okay with being aro and not loving people the conventional way.

I have my own apartment and don't need to keep this hidden or anything but I don't have a trans flag yet, this is really helpful :)))
