    I think I may adopt, because I like the idea of making someone else's life better. Maybe siblings, because I hear they're harder to place in homes. Maybe I'd be a foster parent. But I do know I'd like a partner to do it with because I think the stability of a two-parent household would be good for the kids. I haven't had any luck finding someone to do it with though, hypothetically.

     

    this sounds very similar to what i'd like to do actually! it's really hard for older kids, siblings, disabled or "problem" kids to get placed in permanent homes, too, because often families who want to adopt have a very specific idea of what theyre looking for in a child (i srsly just want to say 'this aint a build a bear' to about a million ppl all the time) so good on you i guess ! dont stress abt finding a person either - youre still young and people enter your life at any and all times ^-^

  2. YIKES yes oh my god

     

    so i was at a summer band camp and one of the guys in my section was getting friendly with me (i barely knew him. i didnt even like him that much :/) and a big group of his friends (he picked mostly girls and im pretty sure that was on purpose) cornered me at the lunch tables one day while i was minding my own business sitting and drawing and they group-asked me to go to the dance with him? i freaked out and said yes but i never went to the dance lol

  3. ugh i relate so hard to this entire thread. double for being super sexually attracted to someone and being disgusted with myself when i couldnt turn those feelings into romantic ones because i was gross and rude and pervy. doesnt help that i prefer girls/women and ive got a bunch of disgusting internalized phobias that tell me im a bad person and i personify the male gaze :/ 

     

    basically: im zedsexy as h*ck and internalized phobias of various kinds make me try to turn sexual attraction into romantic attraction

  4. holy heckkkkk i just had an Aromantic Moment™

     

    my best friend broke up with her girlfriend like...the week before prom and theyve been avoiding each other for weeks now? and its gotten to a really awkward lunch table because we all sit together and finally theyre asking me separately 'what did i do she won't talk to me' and my aro ass is just here like "........" because ive got no idea and i honestly don't understand how anyone can be really properly in love with anybody ever :/ and it Sucks because in the space of one day ive become the Only Conduit for the 'what did i do' emotions between them that are frankly a little bit late >:/

     

    UGH i jsut dont get why they cant talk to each other with their own grown ass mouths and figure it out for themselves like adults instead of dragging me into it like this. like i get it theyre both my friends and i totally want the best for them but You Have Communication Skills For A Reason Use Them

    • "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

     

    ive been in this Exact conversation before, like its so hard to comprehend that aro ppl arent ~straight ppl looking to invade queer spaces~, like if i never said i was aro youd have no trouble accepting a genderfluid pansexual into ur lil gay club but now that i said that suddenly im cishet and dont belogn???

     

    i have complicated opinions on cis heterosexual aros and hetereromantic aces being considered 'queer' but if i say smth out of line pls bring it up privately

  6. yikes:

    • i Love fictional romance (when its done right ofc). i'm currently scripting a webcomic mostly centered around romance.
    • ive never had a squish & i dont even understand the concept
    • i have a lot of friendships
    • none of my friendships are really that... intense?
    • ive only considered one person to be my 'best friend' ever and they were the one to initiate that
    • i like the physical aspects of romantic relationships like kissing and physical proximity
    • im really depressed. like always. & i cant even make myself care about friendships all the time
    • how can i care about romance if i cant even care about friendships
    • ugh
    • more but im tired
