Really right colours...but it would kill me. I hope nothing ever happens to my sight,

WYR eat a strange but appetizing looking dish with unknown ingredients, or food that you know well, but its kinda gross?

VAGUE HUNGER GAMES SPOILERS

 

Very end of the last book, though I realise now I don't have to justify my reasoning extensively since I'm surrounded by people who actually understand that settling down with someone =/= romance. I also haven't seen the films, so I don't really understand your comment - I understand they decided they needed more of a ~love story~ to sell the films? Seems ironic.

Exactly. It was not romantic in the books. But you can feel the healing, and its realistic.

In the movie, there is this cheesy lighting, like its some Kitschy Countryside Life photo shoot for some perfume advert and as far as I remember, she narrates it as well.

Its just out of place. There is no arch, just bamm, there you go, they live the happy settled life?

always say everything I think

WYR have a bird or a reptile as a pet?

red, black and dyslexic...eh, lets go with colour

Also Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager is aro/ace.

And I have more Star Trek headcanons. A lot of them....

Go on

I'll start:

I watched DS9 years ago, but I think Odo is canonly ace? But I guess he is kinda arospec as well? Like grey or something?

Katniss Everdeen also seems like a pretty solid aroace. I know there's some stuff that seemingly contradicts that, but... does it really?

I agree. Like where? (No, not in the movies. The books. There is nothing romantic in the books  )

• "is it something I did wrong when you were younger?" (@my mum) - seriously, mum, we had this exact same conversation when I came out to you as a lesbian five years ago, its still.not.a.childhood.trauma. please chill

• "but if you'd fall in love sometime in the future, you would try to be in a relationship with them, right? You are not giving it up right? There is hope" (@my mum) - Yeah. Sure. And If I were a dog, I'd probably chase my tail all day like dogs do. But I am not, , and I am also not alloromantic, so why are we even talking about this?  I'm not giving up romantic love. I just don't have it in the first place.

• "how can one be LGBTQ+ AND aromantic? Omg, you are oppressing the LGBTQ+ people by dragging arospec people into the same group?! You are straight and just wanna be in the ⁓special queer club⁓" (@some confused and furious alloromantic lesbian online) - oh girl, do you seriously think I'm so bored that I'd be playing oppression olympics online? seriously? I have loads of ideas about what to do with my sparse free time, I don't have time for your gate keeping nonsense

• "you are just a heartbreaker and/or unfaithful and/or cold hearted &@#?!, I hope karma will finally find you and then you will learn." (@some online troll) - I have no idea who hurt you, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. I don't go around lying to about my identity to "trick" people. what do you think I am???

• but you did look like you were soooo in love with your ex. (@ my friend) - ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) wut?

• you could get therapy, you know. I know this shrink... (@ some acquaintance) - just out of curiosity, should I like, also pray the gay away while I'm at it? will you also recommend a 2 in 1 deal at some white trash faith healer? o___0

I have the opposite problem--in the extremely rare cases in which I have been hit on, I have invariably been 100% oblivious because it's just not a thing that even enters my mind. Both times that it's happened (to my knowledge, anyway), I only realized it because my friends told me what was going on afterward (although I still highly doubt one of those instances...but the most recent one was definitely a lot more suspicious, and a lot more creepy.) After the last instance, I'm starting to think I should perhaps start being slightly more paranoid...*shudders*

This happens to me as well. My brain just doesn't compute when it comes to romantic gestures.

That aromantic moment when you try to explain to your friend that the reason you broke up with you your ex-boyfriend is that even though he was everything you've ever wanted, you didn't have feelings for him, 

and he replies with "It's selfish of you." 

and "It's unfair for the guy."

Sounds like a toxic situation to me. There is no way you'd be selfish for wanting to get out of it.

I'd rather not than rather yes, so therefore definitely maybe

Would rather be hungry or be sleep deprived?

SO WHEN DO WE PLAN TO LEAVE TO THE AROMEDA GALAXY?

LIKE... NOW PLEASE?

I HAVE JUST HAD TO SIT THROUGH 5+ HOURS OF AWKWARD SECOND HAND RELATIONSHIP DRAMA. MY BEST FRIEND IS BREAKING UP WITH HER BOYFRIEND AND I THINK I'M MORE UPSET THAN THE TWO OF THEM COMBINED. JUST NOPE.

YOU ARE VERY BRAVE ÆRATH, I HOPE SHE WILL BE ACCEPTING

YMBAI you watch your allo friend interact with their romantic partner and the whole thing seems so strange, so unnecessary, you just don't get it.

How about R2-D2? He doesn't seem overly romantic.

Yeah, the made up crushes.

So when I was around 8-9, my classmates were asking if I had a crush. I did not, but there was this boy who was bullied all the time and I felt truly sorry for. Everybody had crushes on the popular kids, so I thought that's it, the perfect opportunity, he will be bullied less and they will stop asking me stupid questions about crushes. I made up this crush on to boost his ego, but it had quite the opposite effect, kids started to tease both of for months. Oh dear.

And then later on, I made up this other crush on a female friend, to prove that I'm a Real Lesbian™

I had five friends and I decided that that kind of emotional closeness would be The Thing. I mean she was pretty and hot too, and conveniently straight so it felt safe. I even looked up how I was supposed to act around someone I had feelings for. But after all it turned out to be a pointless effort, all my friends were straight at that point so nobody wanted to know the "homo details".

Also allo people who seem to know my feelings better than I do.

I was dating my ex, and me and my friend (they are a nice person regardless) were talking about dating.  I voiced my concerns about how I didn't think loved my girlfriend properly, and they started to tell me about how happy and in love we were. I guess it took me so long to realize something was off cos everybody else would have assumptions about how I felt.

I started to tally mark men who "wanted to be my friend" but turned out to be romantically/sexually interested. I have lost count after a while. I guess I kinda naive, and also completely oblivious when it comes to romantic feelings.

We would have a rad friendship, with long talks, lots of fun, and then, out blue they'd do something sexual like trying to kiss me. And I'm there looking at them, like where did you get the idea, mate? Why would you do that? Like you know that I'm gay, right? Seriously?

And then, they would try to explain how my actions could be read as romantic, and they totally thought I was making a move. I'm not sure why, but all of them try this angle. It is creepy and so entitled.

Anybody else experienced this?

I had this recurring dream about flying. Being a kite like flying thing, gliding over a pine forest on a mountain and getting scratches on my belly because I couldn't really control the flight pattern. The air was very dry and dusty, and it felt like some sort of strange extreme sport. Also, I did not have any wings or equipment to fly, I just had to spread my arms. It was weirdly enjoyable.

Most embarrassing. I have some anxiety issues anyway, it would not make too much of a difference.

WYR live 3000 years but forget everything that happened in every 50 years or would you live a normal human lifespan but have eidetic memory and remember every single thing?

Also Shane from the L word. She might not be full-on aro, but I think we can say she is on the spectrum.

She was definitely aro-coded.

Anyway, not exactly a positive role model, I can thank this show for half of my aro identity related insecurities.

so has lavender, and it also reduces anxiety
