Um… This is a little bit TMI. You might want to use a content warning and spoiler tag for some of the more personal details.

You can be worth something and be important to someone without a romantic relationship. Part of it is having good friends, and part of it is not getting trapped in the “no one can ever love me for real” mindset (I’ve been there). Know your self-worth and eventually other people will know your worth too.

Medieval Italian war combat, and fighting games. Not that I’m exactly tournament level, but I can hold my own against your average player in most fgs.

Well, there’s Never Been in Love by Will Jay. For allo aros specifically, I like Body Talks by the Struts ft. Ke$ha, and Chemical Love by Kevin and Cherry.

Ace and Aro Journeys is TAAAP’s book. It was in development for several years, so I’m proud that it’s finally published :)

But you still have an opinion what the right answer should be, don't you?
I mean, yeah. I also have opinions on the right answer to questions like "should women be allowed to vote," that doesn't mean it's not a ridiculous topic to be bringing up lmfao

Why is it the last day? Did something happen?

Depends on where you live and how old you are.

It’s not a QPR unless you and the other person involved have explicitly agreed to call it a QPR. The only thing that makes it a QPR is labeling it as such.

Um… We have an entire week, actually. It’s in February.

Yeah, I’ve just been raised in a rather closed up area, my church has a habit of not doing many activities with other churches or types of churches so I’ve mostly been ignorant to say the least. I think the first time I’ve been in any church or chapel that wasn’t from my church (this is in total not just Christianity) was about 4-5 weeks ago for a funeral service. 😓
Makes sense- You’re Mormon, right? Unfortunately the LDS church has a reputation for not really socializing with folks of other religions, from what I’ve heard. :( But it’s great that you want to learn more!
In my hometown and the surrounding area I know of many churches of various denominations and languages, a Hindu temple, a few synagogues (Jewish places of worship) and mosques (Muslim places of worship), I think there might be a Buddhist temple around somewhere? And a few different pagan groups that meet in various places. I actually grew up in a UU church, and we did a lot of events with other local religious groups. They also had a program when I was a kid where when the kids were about 12 or 13, they’d spend a few weeks visiting other places of worship; They’d take part in the services and then stay afterwards for a talk with that group’s religious leaders, to answer questions and give the rundown on what their religion is about and what they did during the service. When I participated we went to a Catholic church, a mosque, a Hindu temple, and a synagogue. It was a lot of fun! I think more religions should have little exchange programs like that.

I’d love to visit other countries again just to see the differences, to remember how much I loved it, to just enjoy the area. I miss Germany and the nice calm atmosphere of it all. I love that you could just go an hour in any direction and likely be in a different country. I love that I can meet others of differing backgrounds and experiences, it’s refreshing to sometimes meet others in different situations.
Unitarian Universalism is an American religion that started as a denomination of Christianity... Although I think there might be some in other countries, but it started here, in Boston. America really isn't as religiously homogenous as you think- You just need to get outside your community more. :) Which is totally understandable! But you shouldn't assume that any time someone talks about a religion other than yours, they're talking about another country. We are your neighbors, you just need to step outside and look around.

Ah, sorry I tend to assume that most priests are Christian because more often than not they will be, especially in the western world. It’s a habit I’m trying to break. 😅
Huh, I’d think more often they wouldn’t be Christian, since only a few denominations actually have priests. I usually associate the term “priest” more with non-Christian religions. Interesting.

I've never once heard of a religious leader who was super accepting, most Christian leaders I know aren't particularly against or for queer people but do consider most aspects of it to be sinful in some way. Also hold on, you said the priest was a her? That's something rather rare to hear, at least if that's what you meant because I have never once heard of a female priest in America. (Though I haven't exactly looked XD)
Tbh I'd love to get to explain aromanticism to more people, it'll always help just one bit at a time in my opinion. I'd probably cherish the opportunity to educate others about it but I could imagine that getting draining after a while.
Not Christian, but when it comes to organized pagan groups, most are pretty accepting. There’s also a lot of priestesses in various types of paganism.

You don’t need to use a label if they don’t feel right. You’ll probably figure it out eventually one way or another.

I love seeing all the different kinds of clothes people wear. Fashion is such a cool way to express yourself and have fun, so I'm curious what other people here like to wear. Tell me about your style!
For me, I'm part of the goth and punk subcultures, so a lot of what I wear is influenced by that. But I also like to dress elegant sometimes- In particular I like to wear lolita fashion (mostly gothic or classic). I'd say my most commonly worn day-to-day outfits consist of some sort of black skirt (usually knee length or above, with bike shorts or leggings underneath depending on the weather), and a graphic tee, sometimes in a contrasting color. I almost always wear coordinated earrings and some sort of hair accessory or hat. I also like to do brightly colored eye makeup in a traditional goth or punk style.

Sure. I used to be a lot more insecure, especially in the heyday of """"ace discourse"""" in the mid-2010s, but now I'm kinda old and jaded (well. I'm 25 so I'm still young lol, but yknow what I mean). I'm here, I'm queer, I've got better things to do than worry about people hmphing about other people's identities.

I'm not the type of person to even click those because I just wind up being absolutely disgusted, and the only real times I would look at that filthy garbage is when I'm trying to download some obscure virus for a virtual machine and get jump scared by it. Ugghhh then it floats around in my head, and I absolutely hate it.
That's not a very nice thing to say... It's totally ok to not be interested in that sort of thing, but remember that other people are. You don't need to call it "filthy garbage", especially when a lot of people (especially queer people) are shamed or even killed for their sexuality. Also you should probably install an ad blocker.

Huh? Wasn't that movie Dreamworks? I mean, I was a fan of the books, so I didn't like the movies, but I could have sworn it was Dreamworks...
Also a remake of Hunchback of Notre Dame is WILD considering the um. everything in that movie. Like the fact that the original even exists at all is ridiculous enough. It's a good movie in a lot of ways, but like... Not to be all "you couldn't make this movie today!" but frankly I don't think you should make that movie today good lord. Everything about it is sooooooooooo. um. something

I've got a ton: Video games, sewing, fashion, trading card games, collecting dolls and figurines, VTubing, reading, digital art... Lately I've been really into working on my website: https://aurora-valentina.neocities.org/

Depends on how you view "coming out". I've never done a big announcement to anyone, but I'm open about my identity. If it comes up, I'll mention that I'm aromantic and/or bisexual. Sometimes I get pushback, sometimes people are accepting, most of the time they're just kind of confused. Either way I'm secure in who I am, and usually people come to accept that after a while. But to be fair, I live in a very liberal area and I'm not Christian, so ymmv.

Oh ok, sorry about that. It's hard to tell tone online sometimes and I know a lot of kids aren't aware of the history of these things, so I took it the wrong way, lol.
