@BlueKumul Are we allowed to go more than once?

So I randomly thought up this lovesong for queerplatonic partners. Since I can only write the lyrics for now I'll do so, then share the audio of me singing it so you will know the mellody when I figure out a good way to do it. But for now, here are the lyrics:
Your Something
Verse 1:

I never want to be your one and only,

Not interested in fulfilling your every need,

I simply want to be there when you get lonely,

A unique love growing from a custom made seed.

Chorus:

I wanna be your something.

Don't wanna be your everything,

Let me be your something,

A unique love that flies on custom wings.

I wanna be your something,

Cuz we both know one size does not fit all,

Let me be your something.

I'll give you space, but lift you when you fall.

That's all I have for now, I might think up more verses, we'll see. Also if anyone knows of a good place to upload the audio so I can link it here, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks! ☺️

Someone who is extremely bubbly and cheerful, would go above and beyond for their friends, but honestly doesn't understand romance as a concept, saying things like:

"Isn't that just close friendship with more rules?"

"Isn't dating just hanging out but fancier and more stressful?"

"Did you just put your tongue into their mouth! Yuck! Why would you do that?"

"I don't understand why you're so sad about breaking up, can't you still be friends and stuff?"

"Just friends? What's just about  friendship?"

"Friend Zone? That sounds like an awesome place, can I move there?"

"Why cuddle with just one person?"

"(when asked if their best guy friend is their boyfriend) "Well... he's a boy and he's my friend sooooo... yeah?"

I have many more but I'll stop now.

I would love to see an outgoing, extroverted, confident and affectionate aro/ace character. I just see the stereotype that aro/ace people are introverted, overly serious... Some even seem like a robot or something. And I'm an opposite of those stereotypes (ENFP aroace guy here). When I came out as aroace some people were like "but you're a literal magnet for people, you're the life of the party!", "you seem too extroverted and opened about your feelings to be aroace", "are you serious? but you are so nice and affectionate", "but you're so talkative, funny and you even jokingly flirt with people" or "I would never guess that you're aroace... you're not innocent or shy like most of them". Comments like that are harming aspec people and make unhealthy stereotypes. Seeing an aro/ace character in media who denies all those stereotypes (or at least most of them) could help allos understand that those comments are wrong. Also, I would love to see an aroace character with a more outgoing personality so I can relate to them more.

No way, you're ENFP too? !!!

I once saw a YouTube video about where straight people were the ones who needed to come out. I remembered that video just now, and had a thought: what if the world was like that, but with allos? What if most people were aroace, and the allos were the 1%? We’d definitely have more quality stories, that’s for sure, but other than that…

What sort of funny scenarios would happen? What struggles would they face? How would things be different?

It’s this stupid amatonormativity this society’s got going on, I think. I desperately crave a QPP(s) but since that’s not a relationship that people commonly pursue, it’s not as simple as getting a squish and pursuing it.

I’m actually really freaking scared of getting a squish, because i know that statistically that person will most likely be allo. And since allos don’t operate the same way as I do, the closest they’ll probably ever feel towards me would be a crush. And since I can’t give them what they want/need since I don’t even know what it is, then I can’t be their special person which would be heartbreaking for me.

there’s a part of me, a part that I know is not true but persists anyway, that says that this is my fault. That I brought this on myself for wanting something so specific, for needing it. And it hurts because I don’t want to end up being alone for the rest of my life, but i also don’t want to do things that make me uncomfortable, that wouldn’t be right.

Hi. So I was wondering is there a way to reply directly to someone's posts? Like I think that there's mentioning since I think I've seen that around the site, but as far as replying goes the most I could see was quoting.
IDK, I just wish I could at least follow a post and see only stuff that people reply to me instead of everything.

Hi. So while I was browsing the site, i saw that there’s like, a latest status updates section or something? But for some odd reason, there doesn’t seem to be an option to post one myself. ?

I just sent them an email. Hope they reply soon.

I found their AllMyLinks Page which includes their twitter and an email address so that gives you two options. Artemis, a journalist. (@thetransjourno) | AllMyLinks

This Isn't doxing because its already public information right?

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much, you are a life saverer! 

If this is the wrong place to ask this, then I apologize. But there's this site called platonic.partners for aspec people to meet each other and find friends/(of course) platonic partners. And I really want to join because I think I'd get a lot of benefit out of it, but whenever I go to the register page it says that it can't be found. And I can't seem to find a way to contact the dev about this problem. So if anyone has some suggestions I'd love to know. Thanks in advance.
 

Every morning in my english class we do this thing where the teacher asks us a question (things like what's the best compliment you've ever received, who's the most important person in your life etc) and then we get to ask him a question. This time it was something very simple and quite cliche (seriously Mr. Pait you're an english teacher you're supposed to be creative) what did you do this weekend?

I don't remember very many of the stories, mostly because I was still half asleep since this was my first class of the day, but one story really struck me. Basically this guy was at work and saw his female friend and wanted to say hi, but didn't because her boyfriend was with her. Like, wha? ?

Even more shockingly was that I seemed to be the only one who finds this weird! Even the teacher agreed that he did the right thing! Are you seriously telling me that once you succumb to the odd human custom of of a romantic relationship you're not even supposed to talk to members of the opposite sex? For hetero relationships anyway? Seriously, allos? Seriously? I mean come on, this cannotbe healthy! Please tell me that I am not the only one freaked out about this!

?Oh my gosh, I love cuddling! I cuddle with my mom a lot and hope to find a QPP(s) to cuddle with someday. I'm fine with just one, but I'm pretty sure I'm also polyaffectionate so cuddles for everyone!

Will the app be inclusive of allosexual aromantics who may be looking for sexual relationships with other aros?

As far as I can tell; yes. Yes it will be. You might want to ask on Discord just to be a hundred percent sure though.

Hi! If this is the wrong forem for this I apologize, but I just wanna tell y'all about this amazing project going on right now! It's an app made specifically for us aros aand/or aces to find ,romantic partners, friends and QPPs. The app should be released sometime next year. But in the meantime, here is a link to the Discord Server where you can chat with the devs and other people interested in its progress.

There is an app like that being worked on at this very moment! Here is a link to the Discord server: https://discord.gg/bdZyc8XY

Hi there everybody! I’m Zoe, a proud but confused aroace! I’m not sure whether or not I’d use microlabels or not, but if I did I’d probably go with quoiromantic, since what is the difference between romantic and platonic things besides the rules and labels anyway? I’ll never understand!

I love the idea of a queerplatonic partner and I hope I can find one (or multiple) someday! I’d love to just find a tribe of aroace friends and all of us live together as one big, happy family! and maybe have a couple pets too! I like fish, but I can’t have any right now because I’m visually impaired (probably should have mentioned that earlier whoops) and Mom would have to clean the tank and I wouldn’t want to put that sort of pressure on her.

I love to read and write fanfiction! Sure it’s full of shipping, but there’s plenty of amazing genfic out there if you look hard enough, especially since I’m contributing! If anyone’s interested in checking them out, I have both an FFN and AO3 account under the same username (I like to give all my accounts the same username both so it’s easy to find me and so no one can steel it.) I’m currently working on fics for Spooky’s jump Scare Mansion and Little Nightmares but I dip into other fandoms occasionally.

But I’m getting a little off topic. How I learned I was aroace… it happened when I was around thirteen or fourteen I think, maybe fifteen… I’m not quite sure. I was reading a fic and it mentioned that one of the characters was asexual. And I was like hmm, never heard of that before, lemme look it up. So I did and then I was like wait a minute… this is me! Oh gosh, I had no idea this is a thing. Well, guess I’m ace than.

Later I learned about the split attraction model, and I was like oh I’m aro too! That makes total sense, I always wondered why people valued romance over friendship.

But in hindsight it should’ve been more obvious I was different from the start. I remember watching shows about wholesome friendships/sibling bonds and thinking how sad it would be when they one day fell in love with other people, got married, and then they wouldn’t be as important to each other. I also mainly got squishes on male characters (though I somehow manage to think they were crushes even though i hated the thought of kissing and getting married and then being obligated to value that person over everyone else) so i thought I was straight for the longest time but nope. I’m aro, I’m ace, and friendship is the most wholesome form of love out there, along with the love of family. I will not allow anyone to let me think otherwise.

So that’s me, I’m happy to be here, sorry for the long post, I hope i have a good time here
