oh god i haven't been active here in about five billion years. how's it going everyone happy pride!!
-
since i was last active on here i like. came out to a bunch of people.
would that be interesting to talk about?
-
hey siri??? if some hypothetical aroace individual has never actually properly come out to someone throughout 4 years and now they've internalized so much fear about it that it's become a control issue and they don't know how to explicitly divulge this information to anyone? asking for a friend
-
Baby steps? Perhaps they can start by telling someone online outside of Arocalypse, someone they'll never meet in real life (if this hasn't happened already). Then maybe they can mention to someone open-minded (a classmate, a coworker, a loose friend) that aromanticism/asexuality exists. Then work up to coming out to friends and/or family.
You've got 835 friends on here rooting for you!

hm. it's only the second week of summer vacation and i'm already getting bored. what do i do??????????

several years ago, not long before i started identifying as aroace, my parents put up this archway/trellis/gate in our garden, and i was outside with one of my best friends one days when she said she could imagine me under that arch with a future boyfriend, and she said she had this mental image of the ideal boyfriend for me, though she couldn't really describe that image. i didn't have a mental image, and trying to conjure one up didn't really work. obvious aro moment.

i literally have an aro side blog and yet i just reblog 99% of aro stuff onto my main. why am i like this
-
in high school i had this blog where i would write about stuff and then send it to my friend group and in 2016 i EXPLICITLY outed myself in one of my posts (i literally told a significant portion of my aro/ace story and then outed myself!) and to this day 99% of the people who i used to send it to have no idea and i think that proves that most of them only pretended to read anything i wrote, or at least only vaguely paid attention to it

@Jot-Aro Kujo thanks!!

also today in my adolescent literature class i had an epiphany: i've found myself relating to/projecting onto/even writing so many fewer female characters than male characters for multiple reasons, but there was one piece i was always missing: romance/falling in love/being motherly or nurturing are such INTEGRAL parts of so many narratives written for girls and women, even some held up as feminist icons, while there are many more male characters who either evade the romance narrative entirely or their personal narratives aren't totally centered around it.
feminism has failed me! and that's the tea.
-
Yes exactly I have so many issues with that and especially that to counter-balance that every female character that I have are so opposed to romance and really independent and all when I don't have this issue with male character. Some of them aren't interest in romance but some are really romantic but it doesn't bother me as much. I'm so glad somebody noticed that.

aro culture is constantly being a stepping stone for your "friends" until they find a romantic partner and decide they don't need you at all
consequently, aro culture is having this happen to you so often that you get used to it and just assume you can never trust your friends

AJNXJWJDKQKDA at 7 AM i was sleeping and my roommate finally came back after a night of partying and a guy on our floor was putting her to bed (even though she could walk herself but okay) and then i heard them kissing for a solid 30 seconds and he was like "goodnight" (it's 7 AM my dude the SUN IS RISING) and said something and she goes "i love you too" and he leaves ajdhwjdkkwkd she's been off-and-on hating and loving this guy all year and i know they thought i was sleeping but my romance repulsed ass was SCREAMING and now i feel like i'm harboring a dirty secret SOS my aro ass doesn't deserve this

You have to, the world does not change for a tiny minority. It sucks, but what you are saying is narcissism, people think only of themselves, without exception. They are in the heat of the moment The last thing on their minds is you. You have to be more tolerant and forgiving.
What they are doing is normal. All you will install is resentment if they go with what you want.
This has very little to do with respect, more live and let live.
So long as you are not physically involved, then I advise you to drop it. Bad feelings will ensue
-
i don't think you understand what i'm saying. all i was doing was telling a story of an awkward moment. they thought i was asleep, and i wasn't, so i felt uncomfortable. i'm not going to police their life.
stop commenting on my statuses if you're only going to lecture me every single time about how i'm being narcissistic when you don't even have the full context.
if this gets spicy i'm gonna have to delete ANOTHER status lmao!!
-
so just wondering when am i gonna be able to have an aro community OFF of the internet

@Zorcodtoa Saying "mood" is like a way of saying "This resonates with me" (although sometimes in kind of an abstract way, tbh), so "big mood" is like "This REALLY resonates with me".
-
-
I realized that in my four years of identifying as aro, I have not once actually actively come out to someone 100% of my own free will without feeling obligated or coerced into doing it.
Anyone who knows I either didn't have to tell or felt forced to tell.
-
i live in fear of the day the Discourse finds my aro blog on tumblr
-
hey aro "allies": boost our voices, maybe, instead of just preaching about how Valid we are
(i'm salty and also preaching to the choir, but then again that's not new)
-
aro culture is being blatantly aro in front of everyone you know but having people not catch on because of invisibility
-
why are allos always out here acting like we're just secretly gay or Repressing Our True Feelings as if we don't hyper-analyze every interaction we have with/emotion we feel towards another person worrying that we're faking and actually are experiencing attraction
-
i feel like the forums were more active a long time ago. when is the arocalypse renaissance?
-

2 weeks until the worst holiday of the year BUT that also means only a few weeks until the BEST WEEK OF THE YEAR so take your pick of whether to be full of dread or excitement
