I recently dumped ("dumped" sounds so mean but I didn't want to be ambiguous) my now ex-romantic partner and the arophobic and amatonormative gremlin that lives in my brain is having a lot of fun with that.

my aro-spec pride bracelet broke today

In the interest of being honest with everyone on here, I want to say that a friend I got a crush on two years ago and I are now officially in a romantic relationship. I’m not sure where exactly my feelings are since I’ve been trying to push the crush away since getting it because I didn’t want it to complicate our relationship, but here we are. I’m going to stay on Arocalypse if that’s alright with you all, because it does bill itself as a forum for people on the aromantic spectrum, not just aromantics, and I still consider myself on the spectrum. This is the second crush I’ve ever had if I had one back in fifth grade. 

Anyway, keep living your best lives, and wish me luck!

i found an intellectual fuckbuddy

we only get together to ruthlessly psychoanalyze, debate, and motivate each other, and that's it

it's really surreal

Hi, everyone!

I'm collecting video interviews from non-straight women and transgender and non-binary people on their relationships with their femininity.

If anyone is alright with me interviewing them, please let me know! If you know anyone who might be alright with being interviewed, put them in contact with me!

I'm going to be asking everyone questions like "how does wearing a dress make you feel?" and "do you like being described as feminine?" and I plan on asking questions specific to people's orientations and gender identities as well, such as "how do you respond when people say 'you don't look like a lesbian'?" or "as a trans-girl, do you feel obligated to wear make up to indicate to other people that you are a girl?" or "do people expect you to be available to men as a woman, even after you tell them you are aromantic?"

I'm going to edit all the interviews I get into one cohesive film and then show it in a theater at my school for a suggested donation of about a dollar. I'm going to donate all proceeds to the Urgent Action Fund for Women's Rights, an organization that grants money to activists for women's rights and LGBT+ rights, especially their intersection.

I need to have this finished by March of 2019.

Thanks for your time!

romantic tension

I'm hankering for some Korean barbecue right now. And someone to talk and can vent my life's frustrations to.

Hi! Look how much stuff we have in common in our "about" sections! Where in Germany are you? How much German can you speak? I'm German level B1-B2.

i haz just realized i am biromantic, am i still welcome here?

I love your grumpy cat photo.. I feel like that could be the next Aro pride T-shirt

so apparently shipping is a thing in "Attack on Titan"

I find it ironic that you picked the name "Star Girl" when the books about her by Jerry Spinelli were about her romance

so topshop calls their purple lipstick "straight ace"

I got four aro pride wear things for Chirstmas Eve (and one ace shirt) and I'm really happy that my mom and grandma are coming around to it and I will post pictures later and YAY

Getting the worst flu I have had in years is my body's way of telling me to chill.

Hey, is your signature a reference to "Welcome to Nightvale?"

OH NO.

My German host-father asked me "Was hat deine Freundin gesagt?" in regards to the US presidential election. I looked at him blankly for a bit because I translated it as "What has your girlfriend said?" He clarified that he meant Erin, a female friend of mine (who has found me on Arocalypse and can see all the embarrassing stuff I have posted on here). See, in German, "Freundin" can mean "girlfriend" or "female friend" based on how it's used. Given that Thomas just used "Freundin" and expected me to know who I was talking about, I guess he thinks Erin is my girlfriend?? He doesn't think I have just one female friend, right? I didn't attempt to clarify my relationship with Erin because...well...I'm just not up to it today. The election has made me a wreck.

Here is a picture of the necklace charm! Huzzah!

Here is a link to a picture of the green popsicle necklace, and the bonus of my ace pride nails: file:///Users/sophie/Pictures/Photo%20Booth%20Library/Pictures/Photo%20on%206-27-16%20at%207.51%20PM.jpg

My green popsicle necklace just arrived in the mail! The friend who ordered it for me to her house is going to make a chain for it too! Shout-out to her!

Guys, are the last few episodes of Gravity Falls good? I stopped watching after I think episode 19 of Season 2 because there was an awful episode about picking up girls on holiday that I just did not get, and then I never got into it again

UGH. My mom just can't be supportive of the labels I use. I am so sick of this. If I can gripe to anybody in the chat, I'll basically grumble about standard aro-spec phobia from her. Again, UGH!
