shout out to aros who are invisible in the “invisible trinity of lgbt+” posts
shout out to aros who dated people and felt really shitty when they couldn’t love their partner back the same and they had no idea why
shout out to aros to dated people and felt weird because their feelings and the feelings their partner had for one another were not congruent
shout out to aros who feel broken because while our society is really focused on sex, it’s probably more focused on romance since most people think you have to be in love or open to loving someone romantically to have sex with them
shout out to aros with “passing privilege” even though The Straights™ reject them just as much as The Gays™
shout out to aros who get asked if they have a s.o at family functions and are pounded endlessly with “oh, why not?” and you can’t explain to them that you will probably never have an s.o because they wouldn’t get it or it would group you into lgbt+ and that could be dangerous
shout out to aros who get harrassed by people in the lgbt+ community for not “really being part of it”
shout out to aros who live in a romance focused world
shout out to aros who are confused because society teaches us from birth that we’re supposed to find The One™ to settle down with and have kids but don’t ever feel the need to find that person or do but totally leave out the romance part
shout out to aros who cling to pacific rim with their lives because drift compatible is the only phrase they have that can describe their very strong platonic feelings without people going “haha. yeah. SURE. plantonic….”
shout out to aros who are still trying to figure out where they fit on the spectrum
shout out to aros who feel like they’re wrong because everyone is so foucused on being in love and dating
shout out to aros bc yall ignored for no good reason and the A in lgbtqiap+ shouldn’t have to stand for three or more things and yall get swallowed up by agender and asexual and get completely ignored. you’re important and you’re valid.

The old gods are dead
Zeus sits at the bar, he’ll buy a thousand and one drinks and the girls who he smiles at will raise their eyebrows and think of the pepper spray tucked into their sleeves.
Hera waits at home. She knows the numbers of all the girls and she has their facebooks open on the computer. Her hands hover over the keyboard., She wants to tell them that men will always lie. She wants to take her own advice. She never will.
Apollo and Artemis travel the world. They are chasing the sun. Chasing the moon. They will never catch up. Their hand are curled around each others hip bones. Never in public though. They look too similar for that now. Society has learned judgement and so they keep their caresses safe in the shadows.
Poseidon wanders the shore. He wears a plastic poncho and carries a bag of trash. His tears mix with the salt water. No one can tell the difference. A girl with hair that moves like serpents trails after him, retribution in her eyes.
Hades lies in bed, his wife curled around him. He smiles because people will always believe in death and finally, finally he has beaten his brothers at something.
Athena paces through college campuses, handing out pamphlets on architecture. She scoffs at professors who are simply going through the motions. She carries signs in her hands as she marches through the streets with the students, screaming about the newest problem. She laughs wild, these children, these fearless children are her people.
Hestia wants her family to come home. She waits in the doorway, arms outstretched and a smile like forgiveness waiting to embrace the siblings whom she knows will never return.
Demeter counts down the days until her daughter returns. She smiles when children cheer over the snow days she gives them. There was a time when she had a child like that.
Persephone kisses her husband and grins when people tremble. She is vengeful and wears flowers in her hair and she will make damn sure that the world will never forget her name.
Ares walks through the Middle East, picking his way around the ruins of an elementary school. He stopped understanding war a long time ago. This was not brave, this was not heroic. This was senseless.
Aphrodite narrows her eyes at boys in cars who yell obscene things. She’s long since stopped romanticizing love. She is gaunt and over worked but sometimes she sees a teenage girl handing her baby over to an older couple who had tried for years and she feels young again. Sometimes, she sees Ares from across the room as soldiers embrace their loved ones and they smile at each other. 
 Hephaestus limps through his shop, his hands are worn down, his back is still twisted but people don’t seem to notice anymore. He makes their furniture, their toys and trinkets and they thank him, they pay him.
 Hermes runs through the streets of New York, Tokyo, London. He is young in this time, young and beautiful and slipping between business men, his hands finding their way into their pockets. He never stops laughing. 
 Dionysus mixes Zeus his drinks. He watches his family grin and cry and get sick in the back room of the bar. He holds back their hair and hands them another drink before they even ask. He’s been here a long time. He’s seen them drunk more often then he’s seen them sober. He is watching them flicker out and fade. 
 The gods are dying. The gods are dead. The gods are us.
-L.D.

Trying to explain to people how I can feel sensual attraction without any romantic or sexual attraction is a surprisingly difficult thing to do. It’s surprising because it really isn’t a foreign concept.
It’s kinda like seeing a really cute, happy, or sleepy animal and getting the urge to pet, cuddle, and hold it. Not because you have romantic or sexual desires for the animal, but because you feel drawn to give it affection, and doing so makes you happy.
It’s also like holding something of great sentimental value. You feel the need to keep it close to you because it’s special and important to you.
For me, there are just some people I get the deepest sensual attraction for. All I want to do is hold them and cuddle them and give them soft little kisses and tell them how wonderful they are and how important they are to me. I don’t have any sexual desire for them. I don’t have any romantic feelings for them. They’re just really special to me and I feel drawn to give them a lot of affection because doing so makes me happy and will hopefully make them happy too.

Lost within the moment.

So, me and 8 of my friends are sitting at a table and one asks "would you rather win the lottery or find your soulmate?" And I look at this other aro (we are only out to each other) and go "Winning a real big lottery." And he (ofc) agrees. She goes "NOOO WHAT YOUR SOULMATE" and then the greatest moment ever happens: only one other person chose their soulmate over winning the lottery. And honestly, it's been over week, but still such a mood. (not really an ask, just wanted to shaređź’š)
Maybe it’s meant to be. I find it funny how the aro flag and a dollar bill share almost the same colors.💵💚🍀

Conversation
This actually happened
Boy: Sorry, can I ask you a kinda personal question?
Girl: Uhh...yeah, sure.
Boy: Are you interested in boys or girls?
Girl: Boys...
Boy: Ok, I just wondered
Girl: Huh, why?
Boy: Because that boy [*points] has been flirting with you for half a year now and 1: you barely noticed, 2: he has been asking a lot of questions about how you prefer a relationship and you genuinely answered the unromantic suggestion on all of them, so I just wondered if I had finally met another aromantic.
Girl: Wait? There actually is an orientation for people who aren't interested in neither of the sexes?
Boy: How did you automatically understand that word without hearing about it before?
Girl: I have been wondering if I was asexual for a while, but I researched and I saw it only were people who didn't want sex. It stood nothing about not falling in love.
Boy: You are the first person I have met to actually notice that difference
