So here we are.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY!!

-April 6th

This one is arguably very personal because I have no idea if other aros feel the same – but I've seen too many stories about a character being rejected where the person doing the rejecting is (accidentally or not) implied to be some sort of "bad guy" or "the one who has it easier", so I guess I had an itch to show my side.

Aromantic people and alloromantic people have such different views on what "true love" is that it's not about one or the other being "in the wrong" – it's just one big compatibility issue. All I can say is – as an aromantic, being confessed to romantically IS what leaves me heartbroken, for such reasons. Hopefully there will be a broader understanding of this in the future.

Happy spring! gave them a CROAKus crown <3

also trying out a new watermark pls let me know if it's too faint or distracting!

just talked to a 65 year old genderfluid person on an internet forum whose topic was completely unrelated to queerness. people love to tell young genderfluid people that we're "confused" or that it's "just a phase" but that just ain't the truth. we're out here, and we make it to old age, just the same as we were all those years ago, unchanging in knowing who we are on the inside. my heart is full, my skin is clear, and my crops are flourishing

met a 55 year old agender, asexual person on another site. life just keeps getting better! aspectrum identities aren't a "phase" or a result of being "confused" either! what a beautiful world we live in!

61 and genderfree and ace here :) - we are of all ages and other demographics, haters can fuck off with their "young people's phase"

aromantic asexual meet-up

Today is the last day of Asexual Awareness Week, aka Ace Week. Lauren Triola, the creator of Experiment 31E (and the writer of this post, hi!), is asexual and proudly wrote the narrator, Vic Trafford, as asexual as well (Vic is also aromantic while Lauren is still undecided on that part). So if you're looking for an audio drama with an aroace protagonist--especially one with questionable motives in a spooky story perfect for Halloween--check out our first season, which is available to binge at all major podcast sites!

Happy Ace Week!!! 🖤🤍💜

Shout out to Linda. The he/him asexual woman from my psychology quiz from a few years ago

Ace Podcast Week 2023: Prompts

The 2023 Ace Week Fiction Podcast Fan Event (or, Ace Podcast Week) will be held from Sunday, 22nd October to Saturday, 28th October.

Set 1: Old Internet Motifs.

Set 2: Themes. You may use one or both words, however you interpret them.

"aces and aros are technically queer/LGBTQ+, but not all of them identify that way. they are welcome if they feel a connection to the queer community."

while this might be true, it bothers me that aces, aros and some other identities after the T get that caveat but the others don't. there are many lesbians, gay men, bi and trans people who don't identify as queer/LGBTQ+, but no one ever says "lesbians are technically queer but some don't identify as queer". it seems to only be us weirdos after the T who get the caveat.

also, have you considered why aces and aros aren't identifying as queer? maybe more of us would identify as queer if unconditional inclusion was actually modelled for us. "if they feel a connection to the queer community" - how was i supposed to feel connected to this community when ace inclusion was never modelled for me? when i was a baby ace 9 years ago, i thought i was cis and straight, and the only queerness that was portrayed to me was LGBT, nothing else, not even nonbinary people. where exactly was that connection meant to come from? how was i meant to feel a connection to a community that was constantly discoursing over my existence?

i only felt a connection to the community when i realised i was enby. only after that i learned that my asexuality was queerness all along. my queer gender was literally the stepping stone for a connection to the queer community based on my asexuality.

ace and aro exclusion needs to be unconditional. it doesn't feel like inclusion of aces and aros get this weird caveat but most other identities don't. it feels like aces and aros are still held to higher standards and that LGBT(no +) people are more inherently and unconditionally queer than aces and aros.

either everyone should get that caveat or no one.

Do you ever have moments that can be summed up by this image?
