the more the merrier

Greetings to you and to Jonah! You both sound wonderful and you are so very welcome here!

These ideas are all so good! Yes please! (I love your *ahem*! The s'more the merrier?) TPBM, please may we listen to your favourite tune(s) together? Let's bop!

It looks so badass and this colour is so gorgeous! Did you make it in the same way, and with the same materials, as your first one here, if you don't mind the q.?

I'd be super interested in this! Perhaps we can find solutions to these logistical questions together! This setting sounds so vibey! What inspired this choice for your new campaign? How is it going for your adventurers, too, if you've been able to begin thus far?

Tarvin! This chronology is so beautifully phrased!

Welcome, j! 🍁 Thank you so much for your essay and for expressing yourself in such a lovely way! Which instruments do you play? How have you found your brush with journalism so far? Which ideas or thoughts do you like to touch on in your songwriting? Your username is so brilliant! Perhaps you and @CrisisApple can team up to become sweet-and-savoury heroes - two peas-in-a-pod (on the beet) solving culinary crises in this jam-packed world of ours. Wow! Thank you for this new word! Such a gorgeous shade! Here's hoping that you may find many of the answers you seek! May you love your time here!

Phew, mega congrats for this and for your move! I hope it begins to feel a little bit like home for you soon! 🪴 Is your new flat in a different area? How is this bed feeling?

Welcome, Tyas!

*gasp!* Our one true Admin, turned gentleman thief? It would be an honour to serve! This will be the most spectacular British heist since Aardman's The Wrong Trousers. I'll meet you on the rooftops! Dearest PBM (lovely phrasing!), I'm concocting a little arospec-friendly ice-cream to celebrate the end of Aro-Spec Awareness Week! Please would you be my taste-tester?

YUM! Ooh, I didn't know this! Thank you for educating me! A flapjack can also refer to a syrupy, oat-based treat, which can often be found in an egg- and dairy-free form and can be especially nice with hits of gingery warmth, if you like gentle spices! Plant-Based Mushroom Soup?

This looks delicious! Yum! Gingery, apricot flapjacks!

Yum! Parsnips?

Wow! Incredible scenes! Is orange ice-cream a frequently-found flavour? I don't think I've heard of this before! Do you remember the taste of this? What was the strongest element, would you say, or were the three fruity parts (a little more?) equally balanced? Growing up, a brush with heaven was a Battenberg cake made entirely from sorbet - alternating raspberry and mango squares of bliss, it was similarly the best. Perhaps an ice-cream cake such as this would be one way to bring our a-spec communities together? P.S. Team Sorbet! Blackcurrant, (plum-like!) damson and one more vote for 🍋!

This is everything! 🎼 Please can singing this become a canon way to politely say no - to any unsolicited and/or unwished-for romo overtures in our lives? 🎶

Welcome! I can't wait to learn more about your interests! Please have a blast here!

I love this idea! Hello to you!

Wow! This is an incredible tradition! I would love to read your sonnets! 📖

Yes! KC! (This choice was quite arbitrary - I'm very new to the sport!) How about you?!

Hooray! Welcome, friend! 🦎

Hey! You might find this thread beneficial! One idea within these posts is that you can be both. (This comment by NotHeartless touches on your question too!) Is your therapist accepting towards aromanticism? Some people have answered this question by observing differences in non-romantic bonds. Others, through therapy, have come to realise that aromanticism still resonates as truth, even if their attachment style is now quite different. We’re thinking about an aro reading group here, and an initial & upcoming choice is Platonic by Marisa Franco. It's so good on avoidant attachment. I’m (mostly) not avoidant myself, although I’m also far from secure, and the passages on avoidance are so illuminating. I don’t know if you like to read, yet I would recommend it you so much! As a little heads-up, if you're aplatonic or if you might not be plato-favourable, the title is very much the essence of the book. You may also be aplatonic and not mind friendship-focused reads. Just to sprinkle this in here! Thank you for sharing your question with us!

Especially when Rachel Bloom can be so subversive when it comes to tropes! That's so frustrating. She is more than this! This! I Camembert it. 🗺️

This is so understandable. I needed a decade for this. Being here, for me, has accelerated this process so much. I hope you may find the communities that aid you just as much! Remember that we're all confused windbags in life. You are not alone!

Hi @CrisisApple! Welcome aboard!
