Arospec - Blog Posts
‼️‼️
i’m on the ace spectrum and it always pisses me off when ppl act like i’m not just bc i say that i would have sex
also on the aro spectrum and have a partner, doesn’t make me any less aro!!
+ being aspec is very cool and i wish we talked abt it more bc lots of ppl are aspec they just don’t realize it +
either you support the entire spectrum of aromanticism and asexuality and aplatonicism (etc) or you don’t support the aspec community at all.
HAPPY AROMANTIC AWARENESS WEEK TO ALL THE HOTTEST BITCHES THAT CELEBRATE!!!
SHOUT WITH JOY! THE AROMANTIC BEAM BE UPON YE!!!
i don’t want a ROMANTIC PARTNER. i want a DEAR FRIEND i can use as a HUMAN WEIGHTED BLANKET
being aro is so confusing because like. I want the emotional closeness and devotion that comes with a romantic relationship but at the same time I only ever see them as a platonic soulmate
what am I supposed to even do
Fun fact: Hieroglyphs are a logographic system, where each character represents a word, although in some cases, two characters could join together to form a single word, like for Turquoise, which is represented with a man and a pig next to each other.
Logographic systems nowadays are systems such as Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji, etc.
Emojis could also be considered Logographic, since they tend to represent a single word, rather than a sentence or a letter. i.e: 🤧 represents "sick" but it has the contextual meaning of "I am sick."
In the examples given by OP, this too, is a logographic system, though rather limited in vocabulary.
Also I think it's a shame we have an emoji of a bow and arrow, but not one of just an arrow or just a bow.
aspec are so cool bcs aro - 🏹, ace - 🃏, apl - 🍎 we got hieroglyphs!!
Does anyone else want like a queer platonic partner/roommate? Like you live together but separate rooms and spaces but you can cuddle and maybe kiss and …other stuff 👀 but like queer platonic roommates

I’m tired so I’m going to make this quick.
You told me you were going to come out to your parents and friends today so I’m writing to check up on how it went.
Also, even if they responded poorly (tell me their address) I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with you. You are completely valid and this isn’t “just a stage”.
You deserve to be loved and respected just as everyone else does. Romance is not something that everyone likes, or experiences.
You are not broken for being asexual and you will never “just meet the right person” as an aromantic. I fully support you whether or not you decide to be in a relationship regardless.
If anyone tries to pressure you anyways, make sure to let me know.
I will always be here if you need to talk.

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it
Had fun making these today 😌
sorry fellas, got mad about exclusionists again, time to make it everyone's problem
fun fact - you CANNOT know someone's circumstances and unique situations in life! queers can do what they want forever! that includes identities you find contradictory!
hating the gender you're not attracted to is not progressive! hating people of the gender you got assigned at birth is not progressive!
queers exist all across the world, whether they're visible or not!
cheers!
As a full grown adult I still don’t know how to ask for a new friend’s number without it being weird
“Gay sex life, unlike straight sex life, is never a private matter. When a man and a woman walk hand in hand, it is their love that they make public. When two men walk hand in hand, it is their sex life that they make public… Our words are acts; our privacy is public. This reality stems from the nature of homophobia.”

May have learnt a little more about myself 2day and since Tumblr has become such a safe space for me I feel I can only discuss it here.
Anyways back 2 silly but ummmmmm.
I THINK I MIGHT BE CUPIOROMANTIC IDK😭
Haven't had any strong attraction in 3-4 years, and idk if you can go from crushing on ppl who did the bare minimum of being nice to you to not seeing anyone you find attractive.
There are still many questions I have myself, and if anyone is cupioromantic/ on the aroace spectrum plz tell me.
Speaking of spectrum HOW DO I END UP ON ANOTHER SPECTRUM😭🙏. First it was the autism diagnosis to this, I find this fucking hilarious though ngl.
Anyways Here's Anzu with a cupioromantic flag bcuz I love projecting onto my faves😍
Ok. Question time:
As someone who is neurodivergent I love labels for myself. I love labelling every part of my life. This sometimes causes stress as to which labels I fit into.
Now I have realized that at this point in my life I identify with the labels;
Aroflux (fluctuating between apothiromantic and Aegoromantic usually falling closer to Aegoromantic)
Bellusexual (enjoying the aspects around sex but not sex itself)
And many others that don’t apply
Now my question is, does the aro ace label apply to me or does the aroallo label apply?
I need someone to kiss me but I swear to god the thought of someone kissing me makes me feel sick.
Like, what?
How do I need to be kissed but also the thought repulses me
I need to kiss someone but also magically make it so I can’t be kissed back but not in a rejection way
I need someone to kiss me but without the kiss
Like wtf does my brain want right now?
Am I going insane?
Is this a neurodivergent thing? An aromantic thing? An ace spectrum thing?
WTF IS THIS?!?!?!?
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
we talk too little about the loneliness of being the only person in all of your friend groups that has never kissed anyone and never liked nobody romanticaly, and not because you want this and never got to experience it, but because you never felt the urge to do any of that.
the feeling of being different of everyone you ever met is something you only understand when you experienced it.
I’m being a menace to my boyfriend this week and that’s what its all about tbh
