Is the pressure to have a crush coming from you or external forces or maybe a combo of both? I'm glad you are feeling content, though. That's good! It's a difficult level of maturity to start growing from trying to be what others want you to be into accepting yourself for who you really are.

I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about why this is difficult for you?

False, I hate jeans. Definitely couldn't sleep in them. TPBM can play at least a couple songs on a musical instrument

Ever hear "don't yuck peoples yum". Not everyone enjoys Devil's Advocate, probably because it's most often pulled out to harass people who are already in a marginalized position. You're on an aro forum presumably for a reason having to do with being aro, wondering if you're aro, or trying to figure out how to support an aro friend. Why does one little aro headcanon threaten you so much? Aro people already have no rep, and now you want to ensure we can't even pretend? This thread is supposed to be for fun. If you don't believe a headcanon, just move on. There is no positive reason to turn this into a fight. That's actually really shitty. Please go introspect on the internalized bias you've been displaying. This is meant to be a safe space for aros, and this attitude threatens that.

Oops, added the link to the thread for critiquing, which I meant to do when creating this and forgot. I think that says more about people as a whole than it did about her in particular. In the age of "cancel culture fear" (because cancel culture...not a thing), people accept th flimsiest apologies from people they want to forgive (largely white people who have committed the most heinous crimes) while being hypercritical of apologies from those they want to condemn (largely poc in particular).

True, though less these days TPBM has been to a different continent than the one they currently live on

Eww! *shudders* Nopales

Frogs are green. Garlic bread is an ace thing, following the whole food motif of "cake is better than sex".

Again...it's a headcanon. It doesn't have to "make sense" to anyone but the person who holds it. =\

The beauty of a headcanon is that it's a HEADcanon. It doesn't need to be canon compliant. But also, 1) like anybody else, aros can have exceptions, 2) aromanticism exists on a spectrum (demiromanticism is even specifically mentioned in the post you're responding to), and 3) a lot of aros find it hard to tell if they are experiencing romantic attraction or another form of attraction or even making it up to fit in. Arguing with someone's headcanon, especially when it comes to representation and seeing themselves in a character, is indeed rude.
