    Shipping

    in Aromantic Pride and Culture

    Posted

    I don't like it when people ship IRL people. DON'T DO THAT!!!

    I also wish people would stop matching every single character up with someone romantically. I am also very aware that I do this as well pretty much.

    I don't really know WHY I do it and it's not that I WANT to do this the whole frk time but my mind just goes "ohh those two would be cute and they're gaaaay" like the whole time... I guess it has a lot to do with how allonormative our society is, that my mind has learned that that's how it's "supposed" to be and then my mind tries to create that picture. I wish I instead could go "aww they could be in a qpr" but well... my mind doesn't agree. I hope I'll be able to stop shipping romantically more and more, but I'm not there yet.

    BUT DON'T SHIP IRL PEOPLE!!!

    Aromantic Character Headcanons

    in Aromantic Pride and Culture

    First one: Spock. I am a bit parted about this one because while I feel that he is totally aro I also feel that 1: Is it really good rep to say that "oh yeah this character who can turn off all his emotions and even if he does thinks emotionally sometimes he says he'd never do anything emotionally and he is aro!"? and also I ship him with Kirk so there's that.  it is abit hard to see characters as aro when you want to see them as it bcs hey rep!! but also you ship so much... yeah that's my problem...

    Second: Rey from Star Wars. I was so freaking angry at that kiss! Like no I saw them as sibings by love! Not lovers!!! URG! I totally head-canon her as aro!

    Third: Thalia and Reyna from PJO and HOO. They're hunters, what more do I need to say? Also I think that Reyna just tried to feel "normal" by making up crushes on Jason and Percy, she wasn't actually romantically attracted to them. She just wanted to be, since that made her feel normal.

    Foruth: Yeah okay Artemis and all her followers. Do I need to follow up on this? Also no she was not in love with Orion, he was in love with her and tried to frk rape her and then he was dead.

    Okay that's all of the ones I can think of atm...

    Hi,

    first of all I gotta say you kinda remind me of myself when I was your age (lol that makes me sound like an old person, I'm only 20 tho).

    I used to be in a few other forums around that time and my introductions (and posts in general) used to be pretty long and all over the place, too. (They probably still are a lot of times, I just haven't been that active in internet forums anymore over these past few years...) What I want to say with this is, I'm totally fine with chaotic posts, as I write like this, too, and I think we're going to get along well and I'm looking forward to talk with more people on here since I'm also pretty new to this.

    Hope you'll feel welcome and have a good time here!

    Hi Alin!

    20 isn't old, don't worry?

    Good to know I'm not the only one then!?

    During the time I've been on here I've had a very good time and I feel very welcome?

    Psst: sorry for short reply, I'm on a camping semester and just checked in here a little short during the time we're getting out tent up?

    Hello! Out of curiousity- You said you learned about asexuality from a short story about an asexual character, but where did you learn about aromanticism? I mostly ask because I'm involved in aro community advocacy + particularly pushing for aromanticism to be treated as an orientation in its own right and not a subset of asexuality, so I'm curious if things have changed at all from what they were when I was your age. I sure hope so ?

    Glad to have you in the community, though!

    Well, I first learned about asexuality from the short story and realised that it's me so I started researching a lot and so. After a while I started coming across the word aromantic and realised that's me as well, so that's how it happened.

    Yes, I also really wants it to be treated as its own orientation, because it is! I don't know how it was when you was my age, but I feel that many people still thinks it's "basically the same" or "just a part of asexual" which I hate. But I got to say that I also see many posts about that it is different and what makes it different, so that's good at least!

    I'm glad to be here too!???????

    What would you say to your younger self?

    "Those books you felt like reading but procrastinated reading them? Read them now!
    When your sis asks you to start watch Shadowhunter with her, read the books first! They are called The Shadowhunter Chronicles.
    Read the Percy Jackson books. You won't regret it!
    Do your best to make good friends, ask your sis for advice cuz she is good at it!
    Stop riding Buna and start training with a klicker instead (a form of horsetraining, not sure what it's called in English) from the ground. It will be good for both of you! Make sure that your training together is funny and that she gets to work with her brain - it's the best for her!
    And something very important - look up the terms "Asexual" and "Aromantic" asap (as soon as possible, since you didn't know what it stood for a while ago...). It will be good for you! Take pride in who you are.
    Wait with coming out a little and think first, I know you suck at social things but please, try thinking some extra before you do social stuff!
    See if you can get checked for Asperger's a little earlier. But please wait until you have started 7th grade because that school you are in before sucks.
    Oh, and I know things felt like crap at that first school, and no I don't know if we'll ever be free of that time and what it did to us, but things will get better.
    Chose Germany to study instead of French. French is impossible.
    I guess I should also write some happy stuff about how everything will turn out well but who the fuck am I to know that? I managed without some older variation of me telling me advice, so you should too. Grow up and stop depending on someone else to give you the answers. *******.
    Yeah yeah fine good luck or whatever."

    (please never let me send advice to my younger self....)
