Allosexual aromantic culture is not getting the point of waiting until marriage to have sex

more political commentary that nobody asked for: don’t tell people from the uk who are upset about the election results that “it will be okay.” when trump won in 2016, people kept saying that, and… it wasn’t okay. it still isn’t okay. the policies and laws that these politicians enact have major effects on people’s lives. people die because of these policies. people lose healthcare, the economy is hurt and people lose their jobs and their homes, mental health is affected, not to mention the additional danger that poc, disabled people, muslims & jewish people, and lgbtq+ people (especially the trans/nb community) are put in… it is perfectly valid and understandable and, honestly, expected, for people to be scared right now. to be anxious. i hope it’ll be okay, i genuinely hope that things won’t go as poorly for the uk as they have been for the us these past couple of years. but you are allowed to be afraid, you are allowed to be angry, and if you need to talk, please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone. i love you all.

Just because the split attraction model may have slowed you personally down in realising your true orientation, for some of us it literally is the answer. Your personal bad experience doesn't mean the entire concept of split attraction is harmful. That's a you problem. For some of us it has helped us immensely.

this may be a hard pill to swallow for some people but like. 90% of the fires in australia wouldn’t be happening right now if people had just fucking listened to indigenous peoples

I lose followers every time I say “trans women are women”

so I’m gonna keep saying it until I weed out all ya

I get a lot of asks from people who are scared to call themselves aspec because they aren’t sure if they’re ace or aro enough. So if you’re going through this right now, I want you to know this:

It’s never about you being ace/aro enough. It’s about whether you find the labels useful. If you find calling yourself ace, aro, aroace useful then that’s all you need.

I’m baffled at all these posts saying “I’m (asexual / aromantic / nonamorous / queer / on the autism spectrum / different / etc.). Am I even human?” Were you born Homo sapiens sapiens? Do you have a human brain? Congratulations, you’re human. And don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re not.

in many ways tumblr is truly garbage but the fact that your follower count is not public and there’s no way to become “verified” is so sexy

I’m not sure which ace needs to hear this but alloaros don’t oppress you.

In society, sex outside of romance is demonized and viewed as toxic and abusive. There is no situation where an alloaro is viewed as better than aces. Aces and their supporters can say shit like “well at least we/they can love” (inherently arophobic btw) but literally no one says “well at least they’re still sexually attracted to people” Actually it’s the exact opposite. We’re seen as toxic, abusive rapists because we are allosexual. Romance is viewed as pure and wonderful and sex is only viewed as a good thing when in relation to romance.

The next ace that says “alloaros oppress aces” is getting a knee to the groin

I feel like a lot of people don’t want to ask questions they have about gender/sexuality to LGBT people because they don’t want to offend them because we talk about cishet people asking stupid or intrusive questions a lot

But actually when you’re questioning it’s really helpful to be able to ask some ‘stupid’ questions although you’re too afraid to

So can y'all LGBTQIA+ people reblog this if you’re totally fine with people asking questions about your gender/sexuality, as long as they do so respectfully

Gotta love those late night thoughts

Choose your fighter

aros reblog if you have fantasies where you reject someone’s romantic advances (bonus points if it’s to prove it to your family)

Other people: (Fantasize about their crushes, dates, marriage)

Me: (Fantasizes about meeting another aro in real life)

Can you believe the news? The news that all aroace people are wonderful? Yes all aroace people! Demiromantic and demisexual people, grayromantics and graysexuals, cupio, aego, and a mix of all of the above. Trans aroaces, nonbinary aroaces, of any gender. You’re all so wonderful, and so loved.

Thursdays are aro culture, I will not be taking any questions

Aro culture is watching allos be allos and becoming super concerned for humanity

Do you like gay shit? Do you like fantasy stories? Do you like disabled protagonists being kickass?

THEN I HAVE A BOOK FOR YOU!

The Queen of Cups is about a nonbinary, asexual, aro-spec ship captain. Their name is Theo!

Theo has two dads and a lesbian sister, and they’re in a QPR with a trans woman. They’re also autistic and have synesthesia, which are major influences on how they interact with the story! 

They accept a strange passenger for their new ship’s first voyage, and weird spooky magical stuff happens. It’s great, and also not so great, but ultimately pretty rad!

There’s gay! There’s ghosts! There’s a whole lotta cool ocean stuff!

You can get it for $0.99 on Gumroad or Amazon, or as a $3.99 ebook!
