Did you mean platonic and sensual (not sexual as you wrote) attraction?

no i meant sexual

i feel romantic attraction is more of a given in my life, maybe that's just me

Do you have an art account? Or somewhere you post art? Any social media I could check you out on?

i'm trying to find somewhere else but for now it's DA

egghead, you're one of my best friends. you're not coming in second. you never will. and i value you a lot, okay?

yes, you're right, my brain just has a hard time handling rejection (or perceived rejection)

keep in mind, i'm not trying to say anything like "i'd rather talk to Delta than you" that's not what i'm saying. i literally tell him everything, he was one of the first best friends i made online and going to him before i make a big decision is just habit.

okay good cause if you don't specify that and honestly even if you do my brain is just going to automatically go to that

sexuality is stupid.

i think i might just go back to using aroace as an umbrella term.

i really don't want to, but nothing else is working.

it's starting to affect my mental health.

jeez

i mean you can do whatever you'd like if it's helpful

idk how to help you

Oh, cool, that first sentence would explain a lot. Bu then how come AVEN has no limit on image sizes? I get that it probably has more funding, as well as the fact that it is more in demand. But still.

couldn't tell you sorry

How come Arocalypse doesn't have that kind of focus on sex/sexual relationships? I get that a lot of these people came from AVEN, so they are probably more understanding of why not to do that, and a lot of people here are AroAce. But there are a lot of aro-allos here, no? 

yeah i'm not sure

i suppose romantic (and sexual, which is typically a given) attraction has a larger emphasis than say platonic and sexual attraction, maybe

though that might just be me projecting lol

By the way, are you a furry, @Collie?

i believe they are

Also, is this forum intentionally modelled after AVEN? Is it on purpose? 

i believe it's just hosted on the same... domain or whatever

Still a lack of furries here, though. I noticed quite a few furries on AVEN, including one or two mods? Quite a few people. 

i am questioning furry hello

and yeah we have a furry admin now on AVEN, no shortage there

It is refreshing to be in a space which focus on Aromantic people, and aromanticism, for once. It’s also a smaller, which lends to a sort of charm? Anyway, I think I might prefer it over AVEN (I didn’t hear some controversies over it?). I like this one’s design, and layout. But the dark mode/theme of AVEN is much better than Arocalypse’s. 

yeah sometimes it feels like AVEN has a large focus on romance which is a problem because my aromantic identity is probably more important than my asexual one. nice to have a smaller space too, feels more like a community

Um hi. For anyone who knows me, I'm Fandom from AVEN. There's no way I'll be able to get back onto AVEN (computer search settings) but I figured, might as well make an Arocalyspe account. Had been planning to for a while, anyways.

hi i dont believe weve met

hewhomainsness

if it's a cool song i don't really care about the subject matter tbh

i give my own perspectives to it so it's still fun when i do see it though

i don't think i experience either alterous or platonic attraction so i can't really speak on stuff i don't feel, unfortunately

i'm not

hiya

It’s 11 past midnight, should I sleep tvt

yes you should

yes i do feel like i'm just lying to myself sometimes (part of why i'm sorta afraid to come out, i don't want to affirm an identity that might not apply to me)

i have no clue what attraction even is supposed to be really

Kris from Deltarune, their gender is never explicitly stated but they're always referred to with they/them.

if we're mentioning that then i suppose frisk (undertale) also counts

though maybe not as that's less of a defined character, more just the player

While originally the tongue was just there to use up the empty space, with it the badge also got a funny metaphorical meaning:

The fly is a bad post which the frog lord moderator casually removes.

oh yeah i was thinking that too

i have a cold

my nose burns

There's this short story by aroace writer Merc Fenn Wolfmoor that I absolutely love and, as someone with a complicated relationship to their own humanity, relate to very much. The main character, Tesla is ace and also heavily implied to be aro! 

It's called How to Become a Robot in 12 Easy Steps and you can read it here: https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/how-to-become-a-robot-in-12-easy-steps/ 

But!! Massive TW for discussion and depictions of depression and thoughts of self-harm and suicide.  It left me pretty shaken and emotionally drained at some points, so, if you do read it, remember to practice self care!

:D wow there's so much for me to analyze here!!!
