      Well not any real bones. I have skeleton models and a Skeletor action figure. I want to get a skull head for my computer desk. Then I can monologue Shakespeare to myself lol.  Monks use to have real skulls on their desks, no joke. Pretty wild tbh.

  3. Did you know that like 2/3 of songs are about romance? Just looked it up lol.

      Thats why I prefer instrumental over music with lyrics most of the time.

  4. The aro communities attitude towards kissing (on the lips) vs other forms of affection is extremely hypocritical.

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      Kissing can sometimes be viewed as sexual. There are a lot of aro aces so in the aro community who are repulsed by the sexual implications. Also kissing on the lips is the signature move for every modern romantic movie / book. 
       

      Kissing carries strong romantic and sexual connotations. Im not surprised some aros aren’t comfortable with it. 
       

      With the societal context in mind how is the typical aro view on kissing hypocritical? 

       

      Furthermore

      You can think an activity is gross, repulsive or weird while also thinking it’s okay for others to do said thing. 

      Sex repulsed asexuals don’t think it’s not okay for others to have sex for instance. They can still think sex is gross and repulsive and voice their opinion on the matter.

      Same for aros who don’t like kissing.

      Aros can find kissing weird or not understand the why but still respect others right to engage and enjoy that activity.

      It only becomes an issue if gatekeeping happens, but I’ve never seen kiss averse aros gatekeep smooching aros.

      Different strokes for different folks I guess. People are allowed to think its gross or enjoy it. It doesn’t hurt anyone.

  6. I kid you not, my brain was bugging me to try and tell if I’m attracted to people so I just search “celebrities” and scroll down for like several minutes and im just like “WHY ARE NONE OF YOU ATTRACTIVE!” I don’t even know why I did that, I just… did. Why am I even talking about this.

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      By attractive im guessing you mean can I develop a celebrity crush just by looking at pictures online. Correct me if im wrong im just assuming


      Im just curious…

      Do you find any of them attractive in a purely aesthetic sense? 

      Do you find any of them squish worthy? 
       

      If you don’t care for them romantically you can still possibly find them attractive in other ways.

  8. HOW DO YOU TALK TO PEOPLE IRL.....

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      The first challenge is finding people to talk to in the first place. At least it is for me. 

      Are there any groups with activities that meet up in your area. Work out groups, book clubs, hiking groups, anything oriented around an activity you find enjoyable. This can be a great way to meet people with similar interests.

      You can even make your own club but thats a lot harder.

  12. How is it that someone having a pride flag in their pfp is somehow more "pushy" than straight couple literally making out in their photos? Hmmm

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      The only people being pushy are the very ones telling lgbtq people their being pushy.

  13. So like I started off making fun of Barbie with my cousins a few years ago, then I watched Barbie in a Mermaid Tale, and now I am obsessed with this franchise and have made it my mission to watch every single Barbie movie... so far I've watched like 10.

  17. Just got outed in class thatni was gay (I'm not, but since this girl has never seen me with anyone they just assumed) so to kinda defend myself I said I wasn't interested in anyone. SO she shouted "so your that" -pauses and looks at phone typing fast- "Aromantic?! You heartless f***er!" Nice way to start the morning, and I'm just about ready to punt myself into a wall.

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      Honestly that’s just pathetic behavior. You have every right to be upset about it. If you can laugh at her foolishness and pity the fool.

  18. remaking the aroacespec flag because the original looks lazy and. i dont want to say this but. ugly as well

    Screenshot_2022-10-13_at_8.39.00_AM.png?width=1401&height=652 [mine]

    unknown.png [original]

    i remade the flag by rearranging the colors by its values. lightest in the middle and then through a gradient into the darkest on either side of the flag. i blended the two lightest stripes from both the acespec and arospec flags so each flag will have three stripes remaining hence making the color scheme balanced. thats how you work with color bro lets fucking go!!!

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      Nice, the colors don’t fade into the next very well at all on the original flag. 
       

      I really like how the green fades into a darker green in your flag, thats my biggest gripe with the original.

  22. I'm not gonna be able to resist the new lego AT-TE releasing August 1st. I love the design of the AT-TE in general, it looks really cool

      Pretty nice! Im also a fan of AT-TEs, when I was a kid I wanted one but I somehow got a clone turbo tank (not lego). 
       

  23. So probably all the persons I live with/would live/want to live with are going to move together with their partners soon

    i’m feeling very shit bc I was always worried that one day I have nowhere to go and nobody to stay with in a place called home and know it kinda seems to get true

     

    and yea I know I can find other roommates but it sucks that I have to bc then they will move together with partners and then the next and then the next

     

    being aro sucks. I’m sad.

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      I also don’t want a qpr. What should people like us do then? Well this is what I would do.
       

      Why not look for people who are aromantic and get to know them? Maybe you can live together at some point if you want to. I don’t think this means the end for your social life, you could see it as an opportunity to meet an aro person for the first time if you never have before.

      You could even join a polycule of aros, or make one. Im not saying it’s easy though because it can be hard to find other aros near you who are around the same age, and if you want to be friends, and getting to know them, and deciding who should move if you want to live in the same state / country. Its entirely possible though.

  24. Just joined from AVEN using pretty much the same account details. Gotta say, I definitely prefer the green and white aesthetic of this site (I may be biased because green is my favourite colour)

    1. Ikarus

      Ikarus

      True, the Green and white goes very well together now that you mention it, and im not even a big fan of green as a color.
