  1. @roboticanary I'm sorry if I'm a bit late. It was a hard one to write. https://mesotablar.dreamwidth.org/27712.html
  2. It was a bit after aro week but I read a bunch or aro blogs and articles -most notably the ones for Carnival of Aros- but I did go through a bunch of reading and that was really fun.
  3. The drop in feelings could possibly have something to do with newness and excitement dwindling with familiarity? as for the repulsion part, well could that have to do with expectations you are uncomfortable with? Basically I'm really not sure, Sorry! but it is always good to look beyond the relationship between you and look at the bigger network of influences and powers in society, culture and social circle.
  4. Do you think it sounds more like romantic or alterous attraction to feel like falling into a soft cloud of happiness whenever you talk with them, even if they are having a bad day and are just saying mundane things, the important thing is they are saying them to you, along with the desire to no longer explore intimacy with other people even when it is offered and normally you would be cool with it? also spending lots of time thinking about what to say or what they said and thinking about possible future moments... I may have answered my own question but I just would like some outside input.
  5. Do your feelings suddenly knock you sideways and you don't know what to think anymore? How often should we be reflecting on our feelings and behaviours?
  6. My only really deep understanding of love is through the framework of possession. Someone or something has to be My someone or something for me to classify it as love. My parents, My pets, My couch. I am not jealous or controlling about it but it probably falls into a less healthy expression...
  7. Still a few hours left for any late comers! Edit: I think it is officially not Feb anywhere in the world (I suck at timezones!) so entries are closed and I'm writing the round up
  8. @Dabney Stephens and @aroace_auncle Did either of you want to write more, like an article or blog post, to expand on your thoughts about community? (you aren't restricted to the question prompts I proposed)
  9. oof. Sort out your own spell check and add aromantic, aro and aromanticism to your device dictionary! I also have really high hopes for your central square being crossed out. This normal island needs to be normal again too.
  10. Forgive me! I know nothing! ~though if we could get a convention going in some future time I'm sure we could convince 999 other arospec people to show up. It would have to be somewhere with a variety of transport options to get to, like boat, plane, train, and car....so basically definitely not Australia! oh I hadn't noticed that! very good. (butIenjoywatchingTwilightanyway!)
  11. Elf! but I only just realised now (I totally pulled the number 5 out of thin air) that with your ***** that this is a 5-star badge! ?
  12. another hard one: Quiver of Aros (be part of a meeting with a total of 5(?) or more aro-spec people) [I originally had 'Flock of Aros' but the group terminology is 'Quiver' for arrows, so does that mean we are a quiver on Arocalypse? A-quiver on Arocalypse! ??]
  13. It's February, and time for a new instalment of Carnival of Aros! It's a monthly blogging event that highlights aromantic and arospec experiences. Visit the main site here. The theme of this month’s Carnival of Aros is “Community” February is when many people celebrate Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (21st - 27th) and I was hoping we could share our thoughts on communities. I’ve made some prompts but feel free to take this topic anywhere you want to go with it! Is your community interaction only online or is it also in real life? Are you planning to find/join a real life community this month? Are you part of a small community you want more people to know about? Is your community supportive or is it letting your down? Does your community celebrate or have an event you want more people to participate in? Perfect time to advertise! Do you think communities are important? What is the best part(s) of the communities you are in? Entries for this Carnival of Aros topic are due by end of day on February 28th. To submit your entry, you can either leave a comment with a link here or on Dreamwidth . If you don’t have a blog of your own or want an anonymous entry, you can just email me a copy at mesotablar@gmail.com and I am happy to host it here with credit or anonymously (Just tell me in the email).
  14. Checked out the blurb for this and I'd be interested to see what you think!
  15. I'll just add that you should stuck to your consequences for them. If they upset you and you feel you have to walk away, when/if they run after you apologising just say you are too angry/upset right now and leave. Don't immediately forgive them or start negotiating for behaviour change (do that at a later time)
