“Love makes you human” actually what makes me human is a large amulet that I hid hundreds of years ago that’s slowly feeding me power so my mortal body can live on forever, but you do you I guess

also in honor of aro awareness week, all aromantics are queer! cishet aromantics, alloaros, partnering aros, arofluxes, demiromantics, queerplatonic aros and every other aromantic identity! every single aromantic is queer, every aspect of aromanticism is queer in a society that inherently demands romantic attraction! thank you, have a great week 💚🤍🖤

I am so pissed. The whole reason we're trending is that stupid poll about if a aro cisgender heteroSEXUAL man is queer. By definition, an allo aro. And STILL, even when the entire point is recognizing allo aros as important parts of the community who exist, aro just cannot be trending without ace and ace is automatically categorized by tumblr as going with aro instead of them being separate things. Gee, I wonder why allo aros feel alienated and unrecognizedand like we're not part of our own community when even aro positivity excludes us and says that we don't belong.

I'm sorry, I know we're all celebrating aromantic being trending and we're all supposed to be happy about it. But no. I'm pissed off. What is the point of aros being visible on this website if half of us aren't visible at all? Is it really a win if all it's really conveying is the never-ending belief that one cannot possibly be aro without being ace?

Remember when 20 motherfucking years ago a character got created who said "my first and only love is the sea" and then the writers and producers actually committed in validating said characters aro allo identity and didn't give him a romantic love interest even though there was pressure from the audiences to have him settle down and said character proceeded to become one of the most popular and beloved movie icons of the century. Yeah...

being bi doesn't take away from my aro-ness and being aro doesn't take away from my bi-ness

I am a wholly bi and wholly aro and wholly awesome :)

If a label fits you, you have every right to use it. Even if it’s “contradictory”.

Being queer is not a club that people can exclude you from.

If your queer identity doesn’t hurt anyone, own it.

hihi can you do alloaro for the moon phases lock screens?

alloaro moon phase lockscreen!

petition to make aloe vera an aroallo symbol

pros:

- green

- ‘aloe’ sounds like ‘allo’ + ‘vera’ is two syllables with that /r/ in the middle just like ‘aro’

- kinda spiky

cons:

- ig people might think we mean the gel specifically, not the plant as a whole?

Aroallo + bass guitar for the anon!!

when I say I’m going to marry a celebrity and some miserable person has to respond with “that’s not aromantic” I hope everyone knows I mean marriage in the most sexual non-romantic way possible, there will be zero love in our hypothetical marriage only vibes and sex and money

romance favorable aromantics are good. partnering aromantics are good. polyamorous aromantics are good. monogamous aromantics are good. romance repulsed aromantics are good. non partnering aromantics are good. allosexual aromantics are good. asexual aromantics are good. all aromantics are good

aro allo rights is indulging in sex and indulging in kink and indulging in fantasy and being unapologetic about it.

Shoutout to alloaros with dysphoria around sex. It really, really sucks when the form of attraction you have is one you don't feel comfortable acting on. You're just as alloaro as anyone else, even if you don't have sex, don't have certain kinds of sex, have sex but don't like it enough, don't want to have sex, etc. (To be clear, that's true for people who don't have dysphoria, too). Being sexually active has never been a requirement for being alloaro. Wanting or enjoying sex has never been a requirement for being alloaro.

And also shout out to alloaros who really do want sex but that dysphoria is getting in the way. It sucks to like sex and want sex but unfortunately your physical form is stopping you.

In very related news, you know how dysphoria gets way worse once you stop being in denial about it and accept that you do want to transition? Yeah. And I can't even get a referral to anyone until my appointment with my new primary care on June 7, so... This post is mostly for me as I navigate the lovely feelings of being an aroallo who would quite like to have sex but does not like the equipment it is working with.

thinking about the aphobia ive personally experienced... because weirdly enough its not the breed of aphobia ive seen other people talk about? the 2 that come to mind are:

"being allo/aro or allo/ace doesnt make you queer, but being aroace does"

like.... if you dont view either of these identities as queer.... at what point when combining them do they become queer???? this is actually nuts to me?? i seriously cant believe this is something i saw happen in an old friendgroup. and when i tried to explain that they are queer i just got shut down.

"i told him you were asexual instead of aroace because its confusing!!"

so i no longer identify as aroace, i identify as aro/allo now... but how is it confusing exactly? the guy who was told didnt even know asexuals existed, but he understood with an (INCORRECT) explanation (the explanation given was the aroace definition... not the asexual) so im sure he would've understood if aroace was said!

like idk guys i guess its "listen to the minorities you're speaking for" unless its aro/aces. and especially those of us who are aro/allo and ace/allo apparently

i believe in aroallo leo valdez supremacy
