Found a ol' drawing of what would be my 'ideal partner' and I couldn't be prouder of my past self
I'm not aromantic, but I'm so personally unfriendly and closed about my personal space that I can't stand even the slightest thought of someone who makes too much noise coming near me 😭
oh are we making aromantic trend? hell yeah reblog if you're aromantic or if you want to beat everyone who says 'you'll find someone eventually' to death with hammers. in solidarity.
My (almost) unattainable future plans 💀
IS IT SO BAD TO JUST WANT A ROOMMATE. I JUST WANT TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH MY ROOMMATE AND THATS IT. NONE OF THIS DATING STUFF.
I playfully flirt with some of my friends constantly 😭😭😭
On a serious note, do any other aromantic people relate to wanting to platonically kiss a friend, like just on the cheek? I get that urge really often but don't want to come across as weirder than I already am. Platonic hugs just don't cut it half the time 😞
(I think I just want a queerplatonic relationship with another aromantic person but don't know how and at what age I can actually consider that)
Were any other aroaces/aros originally terrified of saying things like "i love you" to your friends because you really didnt want to come off as flirting or nah
I TOTALLY FEEL THIS AS AN ARO
I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM KISS AND WATCH CREEPILY IN THE CORNER
being ace is so weird cause when you're watching shows you get a lot of "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss me" but you're just here like "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss this equally hot person who has chemistry with them"
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
A bit late hehe
Mae Borowski with the lithromantic color scheme !
can somebody tell me some more info about queerplatonic relationships as me and my friend are considering entering one and neither of us know much about it?????
isaac is so real tao and elle were really leaving him out on movie night
the struggle of seeing people being happy couples knowing you won’t ever be like that is so real i actually love isaac (as much as i miss aled)
i dont know if i’ve made a post about this yet but i wanted to go over my views on relationships and sex as i was rambling about it to my brother the other day
personally, i view sex as just another part of your relationship with somebody. like i will casually sleep with friends, but not all of them. some of them i will casually cuddle and stuff, but again, not all of them. it just depends on the relationship you have with them.
and when it comes to dating, again, i just view that as your unique relationship with somebody. i understand that not everybody views dating this way, and it’s a conversation to have with any future partners, but i personally would want to still sleep with and date other people while in a relationship, and would be fine with my partner doing that too. i don’t like the idea of devoting my entire body to one singular person.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH MY FRIENDS!!!

Dream SMP doodles to close off pride month 2021
it's really funny for me when people claim that without romantic relationships you cannot possibly be happy. i have a story for this one.
so in my first year of uni i was really invested in my appearance like clothes hair a little bit of make-up all that stuff. and during that year a lot of people (and i mean A LOT) were trying to talk to me or ask for a walk or number. like i wasn't able to get home without talking to anyone. as a not really social person a wanna say that was a freaking nightmare.
you know when it changed and i could finally live peacefully? it happened when i stop putting myself together like i would die if i wasn't looking perfect and when a cut my hair.
all those people suddenly disappeared and i tell you this.
i was never happier in my life.
i CAN and WILL headcanon half of the mha characters as aroaces and neither you nor god can stop me.
me, giving paper medal with word 'aroace' on it to my favorite character: i give you the greatest honor that i have.
Today I was chatting with two guys and mentioned I was aroace. It went a little something like this.
A: wtf is that
B: it means she’s not attracted to people in that way
A: bro you can’t just not pick a side, that’s crazy
B: nah, it just means she’s spectator mode
A: OHHH IT MAKES SENSE NOW
I have never felt more validated or laughed so hard
i always thought romantic love was the plague and i was a plague doctor.
so here's an aro-colored plague doctor
me oversharing beneath the cut about how amatonormativity has screwed me up in ways I have never been screwed up before.
(rant beneath the cut is full of negativity, triggering, but perhaps relatable. idk. read at your own risk)
okay so let's have a mini story telling time about how romance plagued every aspect of my life until now.
My bestfriend in high school treated me of less value after she gets her boyfriend. This experience was what drove me into drawing plague doctors during valentines. These doodles were captioned with "Plague is in the air", because my friends in my circle told me to not hang out with her on that day because it's valentines day. So cool, I thought I should avoid them like they were the plague.
For the first half of college, I've been a wingman for way too many of my friends for my only female and best friend.
It has gotten to a point where the meaning of my companionship with my male friends had become solely for providing a connection to a girl they want to date.
In the long run, my bestfriend, who my 'friends' were pining for, actually has been pining for me. She asked if we could be a thing, I said yes because I thought that, romance isn't probably as disgusting as I think of it.
To protect tradition and to protect the feelings of the men she rejected (who I also wingmanned), we kept it hidden.
For the entire time, she emphasized how I was dense and oblivious about romance. For the entire time I was confused, disoriented, and even repulsed. I didn't know how to reciprocate and I certainly did not have THOSE feelings either at all.
Of course it didn't end well.
After that failed attempt at romance, I have been involved in three more encounters after that. Men suddenly started talking to me out of nowhere. Initially, I thought that they were just trying to make new friends. I didn't realize they were hitting on me but when I did, I cold-shouldered them out of my life.
The last one was the most traumatic. I have explicitly stated that he shouldn't attempt to romance me because I've admitted that I'm way too tired of dealing with it, but he was stubborn. He has also gone as far as sexualizing me against my will.
So yeah.
Amatonormativity made me lose faith in the meaning of my friendships.
It made me realize how friendship is easily overshadowed by romantic relationships.
It made me worry that my kindness is misread as a romantic gesture.
It made me constantly hate how friendship is only seen as a stepping stone for a romantic relationship.
And because amatonormativity has rendered all my significant connections meaningless, I'll spend every second of my life hating amatonormativity. I will always be repulsed at the concept that destroyed every goddamned friendship that I had. Nothing has ever made me feel THS sick. I will always think of it as the plague.
Yeah ig it kinda sucks how as an aroace person I'll never fall in love but also, that means I'll never experience the hurt of love so I think it's a pretty fair trade slsksk

my take on shipping aromantic characters is that if you're aro you get to do whatever you want and if you're not you have to write me a three page essay 12 pt font times new roman double spaced explaining in detail why you believe entering a romantic relationship would be an interesting and worthwhile storyline for the character and how you believe their aromanticism would affect the way they experience said relationship
