Can we stop acting like two people deeply loving each other has to mean they have something romantic or sexual going on? Can we stop talking as if platonic love just can't be that deep? Because that's not true. Platonic love can be just as deep, and sometimes even deeper, than romantic love. What I'm saying is, we need to stop putting romance on this pedestal and act like every other form of love is less important.
social experiment (part 2)
(VOTE ON THE HUSK POLL TOO, THAT IS PART 1)
just vote HONESTLY what you think.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING UP SHIPPING DISCOURSE TO THIS, this is about alastor's CANONICAL identity not what you're allowed or not allowed to ship.
THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE POLL, if you vote on this one vote on husk's one too, they're meant to go together
the holy trinity is trending
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!!
Ok does anyone else constantly hear that “A girl and a guy can’t just be friends one of them is going to catch feelings at some point.” Because I hear it all the time and that can’t possibly be true because that would mean that every single one of my guy friends has had a crush on me. Because I can tell you I did not have a crush on them, I’ve never had a crush on anyone I’m aroace
Reblog this if you think that asexual, aromantic, agender, or any type of aspec folks should have more important roles as main characters
If you have any good ideas on what type of aspec main characters you can think of, share your ideas

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

I'm sure I have at least one aspec person following me, right? Why not take a bit of time and fill out this survey?
Call for participants for a community research project
The following is a request for participants for a high school senior year research project focused on aromantic and/or asexual individuals and how they view the intersection between marriage and religion(s), particularly Christianity, but also other religions. This research is being run by someone who is under 18 years old. As such, please interact with them in an appropriate manner.
“Hello, I am a senior in high school completing a school research assignment on a topic of my choice. I have chosen to investigate “To what extent is marriage viewed as an essential and important milestone within Christianity and how does this affect aromantic and asexual individuals?” In order to write a short report on this topic, I am seeking primary information from Aromantic and Asexual individuals. To do this, I have created a short survey that can be accessed using the link below.
Any responses would be anonymous and greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at NovaTea11@outlook.com Thank you.”

Hm... I think that mayhaps be me...
Arolovic/loving aro
♡ An identity for aros who still feel that love is an important part of their identity! This may be platonic love, love for objects and concepts, or any type of love you associate with. The opposite of a loveless aro
Disclaimer: I fully support loveless aros! But I feel like my experiences with love and being aromantic are the exact opposite, and I wanted to coin something for it :)
