aww, don't be sad, judging from the photos they pale compared to the Northern Lights I saw in Iceland. btw, you can get your campervan to Iceland if you take the ferry. I don't know if that's a good idea, though. Does it have 4x4? The car I rented had that and you really need it for the fords. Also if you drive around in Iceland, you'll be soon acquainted with a sign saying "MALBIK ENDAR", which means "end of tarred road". But to me, after a while, it seemed to mean: "Why am I doing this to myself?"

I saw HUGE and intense northern lights in Iceland in July. According to Capcom, northern lights normally occur in England. As an absolute authority on this matter, I believe them. But seriously, in November 2021 there was a RARE event where you could see northern lights very far south, like Frisia / southern Baltic coast. Definitely!!

Does this work? I fear it's regarded as something between "What a weirdo!" and "Oh, that's the newest pick-up scheme?". 🙃 Any real-life experiences with this?

This is like one of those absurd video game catacombs, which you always found unrealistic, but now REAL. Nothing for the faint-hearted. Oh yes, very recommended, I visited them on a tour through Slovenia and Northern Croatia. Now I would want to visit: Paris for the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay Mont-Saint-Michel (France) Hambach surface mine (Germany) for the Bagger 293 Namib Desert I also would like to visit Japan, but honestly this is more like a general feeling, LOL. Egypt for the pyramids Theoretically Venice, but this city is a synonym for overtourism ... I did ride a zeppelin for 1 hour in Friedrichshafen, at Lake Constance, Germany (this is the only real zeppelin in the world - not a blimp - which you can ride)... it is insanely expensive. Expect like 250 € for 30 minutes, LOL. It was still very worth it.

Now playing "Crusader Kings III" on PC. You can marry there, but no romo stuff happens. It's just arranged marriages so it's tolerable.

😳 always remember that you don't have any obligations towards your mother after that.

Yeah, that's the official aro sport!! 🏹

To me the McDonald's Side Salad seems healthier than a love song.

Thanks!!! This drawing was very complex, the arocopter drawing was nothing compared to it! Hopefully people at least look at it in 4K, imgur is so cumbersome. And here is the Inkscape SVG (Chrome, Firefox can render it properly, yeah. DropBox obviously cannot): https://www.dropbox.com/s/py5pkyy2w53hc41/temple.svg?dl=0 (Banner + Moon are hidden layers) Licensed under CC BY 4.0. I did everything myself, except the font on the Katana (Osaka-Sans Serif). 😄😄 great, I love it. The look on the flamingo's face is simply priceless.

I sympathize with aegosexuality or fraysexuality somewhat: to me real sex vs. fantasy & masturbation is like: a nutritious meal vs. a tiny bite from a chocolate bar. 🙃 While it is not easy for me to maintain sexual attraction towards someone if things reached a "maximally escalated level", in the end real sex has waaaay more of an impact. It does not even compare. Fantasy + masturbation OTOH is "file and forget".

Wooing the romantic target with music has a very long tradition (e. g. Minnesang of the 12th century). So in this context the amount of love songs isn't so surprising. Of course, this does not answer the question how it got that way in the first place. This is honestly a mystery to me. Humans could compose songs that are about their connections to friends and family. But they simply do not do that. Now in nature, singing is something even animals (birds) do for romantic courtship. So maybe alloromantics are similarly biologically programmed for that? PS: this overabundance of songs about romantic love pushed me to Metal / Industrial, where romantic love songs are a very rare occurrence. I'm not at all fond of war☮️but I can still tolerate Manowar lyrics more than Taylor Swift lyrics.

So now... with flowers and gold. And the second part. But now what do the scrolls say? "This year the royal treasury hath spent 500,000 ducats for a new love temple & 200,000 ducats for ten love festivals & 70,000 for a further rose garden & 50,000 for a flamingo park. All the while our roads decay & wells go dryeth & levees are crumbling." 4.5 x 2.6 K pixels, 1.7 MB

How does one find such stuff? Sounds like fraysexual / aegosexual to me. This label is so micro, it's already gone and the link is broken. 😜

I guess "like" vs. "love" is how alloromantics belatedly communicate that this relationship is now seriously, seriously meant to be exclusive. For whatever reason most can't state it clearly and unambiguously at the right time.

I would order more guacamole, because this is an official aro food and we can't have enough of it. But otherwise the second scenario sounds perfect.

Rimuru Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Rimuru is a slime and can mimic forms, but even the human form ends up being of undefined gender.

It's 100% fine to not understand the appeal of sex. But sex isn't really overrated. I mean we can say "Nirvana is overrated, blah blah there really is this 'brand' Nirvana which is so hyped up, blah tragedy of Kurt Cobain blah. The band isn't that great blah". For sex this doesn't work. We know for a fact that people really engaged in it, very, very often, always and everywhere. Until very recently in history more resources (food, shelter, ...) meant more humans. There is no fad that can last since the paleolithic and be present all over the world. PS: Nirvana was just an example, please no flamewar 😨

That sounds like a cigarette package warning, LOL. While I personally agree, I thought of something like "Defund Romance"... If there just wasn't already a very similar real slogan... Yes... thanks for the suggestion. I'll add some gold garlands / flowers... BTW, there already is a single flower in the image...

PS: if you have any suggestions what could be improved, let me know. FYI, this was done with a Wacom Intuos Pro L and Inkscape, i. e. 100% vectorized. So most of it is easily editable

Thanks for your examples, sensei. You're right. Mmh... Anyway, I'm done with the first part: Opening Festival for The 13th Minor Temple of Love, Part I Obviously this unnamed fantasy kingdom has some serious problems with overspending for romance stuff. So I'm searching for a slogan to be used by the aro activist in Part II* ! * don't get too excited, Part II is supposed to look very similar to Part I

To me this is just so ... surreal and absurd. Someone having a crush on ME, yeah that perhaps happens in a parallel universe but not this one! So I want to get out of this situation ASAP. I probably get across as extremely rude.

Aromantic assassin trope... subverted! So much war & violence in the world right now. Aro activism remains ☮☮☮! Congrats for noticing this tiny inscription.🥇 But I wonder how you could really draw a foam katana. I mean without slapping "foam katana" on it? 🤷‍♀️ This will become clear in the final artwork. No spoilers ... Thanks! Tough this is going to be my most complex artwork, it still has a very.... naive touch. But well, Henri Rousseau (one of my favorite painters) didn't care for that. And I also do not!
