Two books I've read recently with aromantic characters
Holmbo replied to Holmbo's topic in Aromantic Pride and Culture
@Georgi I'll add tarnished are the stars to my aro reading list too. I've not had good luck with that database, I've tried three books at random and not liked either of them. -
Two books I've read recently with aromantic characters
Holmbo replied to Holmbo's topic in Aromantic Pride and Culture
@Jedi I read a lot so I'm willing to give Horus rising a try. I liked both of the books. I would recommend them depending on taste. Midnight bargain has cool world building and magic system. A lady's guide to petticoats and piracy is basically real life 1700s (there's a little bit of fantasy thrown in). -
I realized that two books I've both read fairly recently have aromantic characters: A lady's guide to petticoats and piracy has an aromantic and asexual main character. Her life goal is to become a doctor which is hindered by the fact she lives in the 1700s. The midnight bargain has an aromantic side character. It's a fantasy story about two women who try to avoid marriage, because of they get married they are not allowed to practice magic. The main character is in love with a guy and is torn between wanting to be with him and not wanting to marry. The other woman is aromantic and want to spend her life researching magic. I like that both these characters are clearly stated to be aromantic, even though the word of aromantic doesn't exist in their societies. Have you read any books recently with aromantic characters?

I Wrote A Queerplatonic Love Song!
Holmbo replied to LifezVictory's topic in Aromantic Pride and Culture
That is great! I tried to sing it in a made up melody as I read it ? -
Yes, here it is https://nanowrimo.org/ For me I believe I need to write with a physical group of people. Some online space is not enough. I'm going to a writing meetup on Thursday, which is actually online ? but I hope that some of them are open to meeting up irl too.Yes

If you don't know what it is you could read about it here. I don't usually write fiction but I think it would be fun to try nanowrimo this november. I read a lot and I enjoy writing. I just have to find some people who would like to do writing get togetherers so I can be motivated.

I'm not sure why you're asking this question in an aromantic forum. What sort of aromantic advice are you looking for?
-
Being with them in what way? Hanging out?

I probably would give it all to charity.

Great to see you! Hope you'll like it here -
I think you'll find many with like-minded feelings here. Remember though you don't need to be in love to make a committed cohabitation relationship. You can even call it a romantic one. I know several people who are not in love with their romantic partner. However they care about them and enjoy living together with them. You could do that too, if that's what you want. Personally I've never wanted a partner, and that means I need to figure out what kind of relationships I need to fill me needs. For most people the romantic partner fills so many roles. I need different people to fill some of that roles.

You could look into queer platonic relationships to learn a bit more of various types of relationships. It's not all necessarily romantic
