Carnival of Aros June 2020 Call for Submissions

[Apathetic Echidna]

Hi all 

I'm hosting the June Carnival of Aros and wanted the topic to bring a bit of positivity into people's minds. The theme is 'Most Precious' and all the details can be found here: https://mesotablar.dreamwidth.org/15144.html

Basically, if you think something is precious and influenced/effected by your aro-specness then make an entry! 

I will be active on Arocalypse so feel free to post links to your entries here as well.

A positive theme is good for this month! though tbh my first thought about "Most Precious" is lord of the rings.  Also, if you don't have a post for it on tumblr, I can make a post boosting it there if you'd like?

that would be amazing if you would! I don't have Tumblr, and without an account it sort of is it's own fortress. 

I figure that sharing anything positive is important because alone it is sort of hard to find things to be positive about now ?

Because you said it I decided to search it. Now I am having heaps of fun on this site http://derhobbit-film.de/rune_generator.shtml#rune

Amatonormativity is hard enough to spell in english but the Feanorian Letters translation is insane

I have made a tumblr post with the call of submissions to help spread it there: https://aromagni.tumblr.com/post/619778331642118144/june-2020-call-for-submissions-most-precious

(and lol....am kinda tempted to make an aro ring in lotr style bc "precious", might do that if end up in the mood for that kind of creative this month).

@Magni doing an aro ring in lotr style is definitely the better option when the other choice in the 'precious' dichotomy is an aro-style version Gollum. What would that even look like? wait, no. I don't want to think about it. The university medical lotr musical spoof was bad enough.

I finished my submission, @Apathetic Echidna.  I ended up drawing the aro One Ring idea (and used the translator you'd linked earlier in this thread :).  Link to my submission is here: https://aromagni.tumblr.com/post/622395923181568000/aromantic-pride-is-precious-carnival-of-aros

I think it is great, and I'm so glad you did something constructive with it 'cause all I did was type stuff and giggle
