roboticanary Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Frogs obviously we own any green animal and frogs are just lovely, if I were a frog and someone wanted some romance with me I could just go boing and jump multiple times my height to escape which would be really useful. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I said both birds and felines. Birds because they embody freedom for me (probably cause they can fly). And I think this freedom is great to represent aros. I think aros value all type of relationship and that the freedom to define which are the most important for us and to define their components in own terms (in a QPR for instance) is a huge part of our culture. I don't have a particular birds in mind but I think eagles are pretty cool because they are majestic (is that the word in English?) Felines because they have that reputation of being independent, with a preference for cats because they also embodies singlehood with the old never married lady trope (not that this trope was meant to be nice but I don't care). So I think they are a great symbol for aro that doesn't seek a partnership. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats like to come and go a lot I think xD see some which goes and visit lots of different gardens and places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaAro Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Ardvark, ardvark is the best, it’s so unique. Then griffins… I always liked griffins. I wonder… what’s actually the lore about ardvarks and griffins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm partial to the aardvark, because of the aromanticaardvark tumblr and the old aro-plane forums mascot. It was The aro animal for a good bit there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrboda Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Praying mantises. They eat their mates afterward, so you know there weren't any romantic feelings XD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrboda Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) OOOOOO!!! I've got it! Our animal mascot should be the sort of alien that Yoda is! Think about it. He's green & he's a Jedi.

Yoda would be more like a mascot. Yoda is not a pride animal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmbo Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I think frog is a good symbol. Bird could work too but it should be some specific species. With frogs we can just use the common cartoon frog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Gonna reccomend the Blue-naped Chlorophonia as allo aro birb and the Emerald starling as aro ace birb 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Oh they are so cute. And totally aro. I'm not an expert in bords so the only green one I find is the guinea toraco. I wonder what would the just aro bird? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96Neko Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I go with birds *inserts good reasons* and they cute and have owl's 😧 but everything green belongs to us! That's why neko always carries green color with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 22 hours ago, roboticanary said: hang on, we forgot the sea sheep you can't tell me this little fella ain't aro Oh man, those are great! Sea creatures are so facinating and different, we can pick just any of them as a pride animal. But my favourite are a certain species of sea slug called Elysia cf. marginata that can decapitate themselves :0 The body kind of lives on for a few more weeks but the head lives on via photosynthesis and regrows itself in about 3 weeks, complete with organs! It is not certain why they do this, but at the moment they think it is in reaction to an infection in the body. Just look at it! Also it is green so… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I like cats as an aro pride animal. They show love, just in different ways that are unconventional to humans or dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think the sea sheep are cool but what about the dogbane beetle or the eupholus genus of weevils eupholus weevi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondoBilby Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I always liked the thought of birds being the “aro animal”. Something about them feels very independent and free. Frogs are great too of course! I don’t think frogs will ever stop being the definitive aro animal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
