The AJR obsessed child I am, I constantly swing between Turning Out and Turning Out pt. II (both by that band). 

Also, as a side note, if anyone is looking for songs that have little or nothing to do with romance but are still, you know, significant feeling, I would highly recommend AJR. Most of their songs are ironic and little on the surface level but are very relatable if you dive deeper. 

bruh I LOVE AJRRRRR
BEST BANNDDDDDD

did u hear the dj is crying for help n some of the newer songs? so cool! i love ok orchestra n neotheater too!

You are an aspiring film director, after all!

(For some reason, I get the vibe that you're 12, I have no idea why).

lol it was for a project about the history of the projector (which is also very ironic lol, since this is a partner project and we decided on projector bc it was an option and there is one sitting in front of use always)

am i 12? no, im not. i do think im a child at heart tho. im like 15. i have very unconventional likes and interests from most of the ppl i go to school with

In 1999,^[6] digital cinema projectors were being tried out in some movie theatres. These early projectors played the movie stored on a computer, and sent to the projector electronically. Due to their relatively low resolution (usually only 2K) compared to later digital cinema systems, the images at the time had visible pixels. By 2006, the advent of much higher 4K resolution digital projection reduced pixel visibility. The systems became more compact over time. By 2009, movie theatres started replacing film projectors with digital projectors. In 2013, it was estimated that 92% of movie theatres in the United States had converted to digital, with 8% still playing film. In 2014, numerous popular filmmakers—including Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan—lobbied large studios to commit to purchase a minimum amount of 35 mm film from Kodak. The decision ensured that Kodak's 35 mm film production would continue for several years.^[7]

Although usually more expensive than film projectors, high-resolution digital projectors offer many advantages over traditional film units. For example, digital projectors contain no moving parts except fans, can be operated remotely, are relatively compact and have no film to break, scratch or change reels of. They also allow for much easier, less expensive, and more reliable storage and distribution of content. All-electronic distribution eliminates all physical media shipments. There is also the ability to display live broadcasts in theaters equipped to do so.

If it becomes more sexual in nature... Tell. A. Teacher. You can keep yourself safe by doing that. If they continue doing this you gotta tell someone.

Thankfully it's not gotten to that point, and I'd 100% tell someone if that were the case

I can't exactly tell what the nature is rn tbh. It's a mix of romantic and smth else that I can't grasp (maybe sexual but it's very much romantic IMO) but if anything were to happen I'd prolly tell my science teacher or go to the office

Welp. I got bothered about it again (like 3 times today, it was a field trip today so more time to bother me ig). Time to draft a rejection speech to 4-5 people all at once!

despite everything, they (at this point im using they to refer to most boys in my science class because sometimes it's only one person, sometimes 2, sometimes i get trapped in circle of 4 outside while my teacher does a headcount) still want me to give my insta and talk with him

there was one time today in which they asked if some girl was hot (she did look nice aesthetically, but since my mind loves equating hot with aesthetic, then i couldn't exactly give them a good answer) and im convinced they thought for that one second i was a lesbian

when i said (what i think came off as) no, they just kept going with then whole "A reallys wants you" thing

the phrasing scares me because it's too vague to tell me squat about how he wants me, or what part of me he wants

somehow, when i try to say something equivalent of no, words stop forming and i just stand there doing nothing

at this point i am now wildly considering telling a teacher but how am i supposed to ensure that i don't get hate bombed in the process?

the bigger question that's been entering and exiting my brain is: what made A attracted to me in the first place? what aspect of me does he like? we'd never talked at all prior to this drama, and i don't do anything suggestive to cause anything to happen. imo, i'm more of a blend in kinda guy. like. i'm so severely curious what he sees in me that i am clearly missing.

i might ask the boys this one (if words can finally appear)

I think the best you can do is being very clear and firm about not liking A. Otherwise they will think you like him back, it will give him hope if he also like you, and it will hurt him more than just a no.

i have! just today and i think i made it very clear too

i hope no one bothers me about this again

(i am OP btw, since anonymity ain't working out for me)

update: I got interrogated by A's friends again. I told them i didn't like A, and they were clearly shocked. And then they asked me all like "do you think he's cute?" and i had to actually think on that one because they seem to be very VERY intent for me to like him back (that's the vibes i was getting) and in a joking manner i would've said yes bc visuals wise he was an ok lookin guy but i got the feeling that if i said yes it would be a win for the boys and i didn't want them to win

i kinda went "hmm" out loud by accident and they commented "oooooh [they're] thinking" or smth to that effect (dont remeber too well, all i remember is how the tone came off in a "ooooh" way idk what else

they straight up asked me "do you wanna be his girlfriend?" like no strings attached at ALL. and i tried to retort that i didn't know him but they were all like "you should get to know him" which i guess makes sense but FUCKIN HELL

they'd also asked whether i'd date him and I kinda panicked because I didn't want to upset anyone (sounds rlly stupid right? but i tend to want to make people happy, i guess that's a flaw sometimes) so i caved and said maybe
they took that as a win (i think, sure seemed like it) and i took it as a loss

they also kept mentioning (post-interrogation) many times that he's blushing/is shy which tbh i can't say it's a lie (im very much not into everyone else's circles but from what i see A and the others are pretty good buds so my bet is they talk about this stuff or smth)

Maybe you can try to talk with a teacher about it ? No one has the right to pressure you to do anything.

 

i suppose I can, but i guess im scared to? my science teacher is a solid guy and is quite nice to talk to, but somehow i just can't bring myself to for fear that they'll get into trouble or smth. i mean i guess that's the point, is it not? but i don't want people actively hating on me (because i don't like negative attention) and the boys going against me will probably be the death of me when i go to science class

to be frickin honest i think my social skills are kinda weird in that sense and i can almost never muster up the courage irl to do it, despite every cell in my body wantin to. but then again, i never actually initiate the conversation about A liking me (because i can't stand being in that position) and so it's always brought up at the most randomest fucking time ever (today, for example, after a science quiz) and im kinda forced to improvise when it happens

People are probably gonna ship you with other people no matter what and it's gonna suck.

the unfortunate reality of being afab and presenting femm i guess

im not even that person who wears anything ""seducing"" or ""sexualizing"" i just wear a sweater and jeans most days because that's the runt of it

i just never understand what people see in me. is it my personality? do they really like how i dress? literally i've thought about this for some years now and can never figure it out

green is my fav but purple is just as good

forgot to mention aziraphale and crowley from good omens, who i 100% headcanon as ace/aro

not confirmed tho

Thank you for taking so much interest in the Aro Census! The next census is currently in the process of being translated into different languages. We are hoping to have the survey out by either December 2022 or January 2023, but because AUREA is an all volunteer organization it may take a little longer than planned. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we complete the survey. 

If you want to follow the progress of the census you can check our website or follow our newsletter and social media for updates and the release of the next survey.

awesome!

Depends on your definition of nice but if its my nice then cool!

Next person recieves a signed album from their least favorite music artist

Not bad.

Next person gets tickets to florida... but i accidentally forgot the return ticket
