Hello! I made a survey about aromantic representation in media! It’s not that long, only a couple pages. you’ll be done in a jiffy (unless you have adhd, then clear your calendar for the next week /j)
I’m a story-teller and I want to create an aromantic story, but I am nothing but one person with one personal experience so i need other people’s brains to help me.
uhh, please do it and i’ll send you a picture of a bear sitting oddly on a rock if you ask nicely <3
***SURVEY HAS BEEN CLOSED***
PLEASE GO TO @all-of-the-aromantic-characters FOR MORE CONTENT
SUMMARY OF RESULTS WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD PROBABLY BE POSTED SOON (most likely in 2022, yes i have adhd)!!

If we're making aromantic trend today I have to bring forward the first aroace rep I knew.
Roshanna Chatterji in the movement comics!
(Yes she only says asexual but from context it's clear she means aroace)
The Movement follows a group of teens (early 20s I think a couple) fighting back against police corruption in their area, unfortunately there's only 13 issues.
But Roshanna has been seen in last years (possibly year before) pride comic in the corner of group shots and did get a page in DCs big book of pride so she's not completely forgotten.
Other members of the group are also queer or from other marginalised communities.
TW for sexual assault, abliesm, homophobia and religious trauma.

El - Happy Pride month to everyone who celebrates it! I hope you are well and safe out there! ❤️
For Pride month, as an aromantic and asexual person, I wanted to draw something that means a lot to me personally. And I decided that it would be fanart of the Japanese television drama series Koisenu Futari (恋せぬふたり).
I first heard about this show from the YouTube channel The Ace Couple. They do podcasts about different topics through an Ace lens and have dedicated two episodes discussing this show. I am going to link the episodes here if you are interested (because, honestly, they do a way better job at reviewing and analysing the show, than I could):
Koisenu Futari: Is this the Perfect AroAce Rep!?
We LOVE Koisenu Futari!
The show is about the lives of two aromantic and asexual people - Sakuko and Takahashi, who decide to live together in order to escape the inconveniences of life. Along the way they learn a lot about themselves, the people around them and just life as a person, who doesn’t fit with the expectations that society puts on everyone. It’s honestly a really heartwarming series with a lot of amazing scenes. There were a lot of moments where our two main characters just stopped to express how they feel about different aspects of life and honestly, a lot of the things they said made me pause and say: “Those are my exact feelings!”. There were also a lot of scenes that genuinely made me cry. I have never watched a show that made me feel so seen, made me feel like I wasn’t broken and that there are other humans out there who share my experience. Another thing that I love about this show is that the two main characters show two different experiences of being aroace and that means a lot. Personaly, I relate a lot more with Takahashi.
If you haven't watched the show yet, I highly recommend you do so. It’s very well written, the characters are very interesting and lovable and the message that is trying to convey is very important.
This got really personal, but I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you have a wonderful Pride month!

I read the most wonderful trilogy I’ve ever touched; best book in the world, perfect to my taste like it’s written just for me
Took a look at fandom for the books, maybe trying to find some good stuff about it. Yknow. Fandom stuff.
There’s like five people talking about the series. (Understandably, I’ve only found it by chance too. It’s not very known.)
But every single person ignores that one of the main characters is canonically aro and ships him with the other two main characters. Even though it’s very much in text stated that he’s not interested in relationships. Like, that was made very clear from multiple perspectives and everyone involved respects that.
…I’ll just never go into fandom spaces ever again. Poor Vargo. Fandom is destroying this man more than his childhood did tbh.
Anyway if you’re into fantasy with morally gray characters, some found family and a slow-starting but extremely escalating plot, with a non-partnering AroAllo main character (only one of three, the other two aren’t aspec but honestly as an aro person the romance was written so good too), consider reading the Rook and Rose Series by M.A. Carrick. I wanna talk about it so bad but my sister won’t read them and no one knows this book.
I love this trilogy. Favourite books rn fighting with Iron Widow in my head, though Iron Widow still has a chance to win with the sequel lol. (But Vargo will forever and always be my favourite character of all time.)
The covers are also fucking beautiful. (Alt text is not the best I’m very tired but I tried.)
#aromantic#aro#AroAllo#aroallo rep#aromantic rep#rook and rose#Disclaimer: if you don’t like slower paced books this might not be for you because it’s starting like extremely slow#but that’s part of what I love about it!

#I don't think he ever made a sans x reader kind of joke on his Twitter#but! what's this in my newsletter. free kisses 50 kromer yeah sure#and a spamton love network video#maybe he just feels it'd be more funnier to make a salesman fall in love with us I guess. than a freakin lazy skeleton who is legit#aromantic rep#yes I'm not complaining.

✨ a wedding disaster ✨
a chat short story by write-helluva-messy-boss
.
.
.
.
Asmodeus: what do you mean i'm not free that weekend? what could i possibly be doing on a Saturday and Sunday?
Exim: it says here in your schedule that you have a wedding to attend
Asmodeus: a wedding???
Fizz: a wedding???
Asmodeus: fuck that shit, i ain't going to no wedding
Exim: actually, yes you are. it's for the son of your counterpart, Baal.
Asmodeus: *groaning* Baal?
Fizz: fuckin Baaaaaaallsy of this guy to have a wedding, amirite? haha, gottim. ok, but who are we talking about?
Asmodeus: *grumpily* of all demons, why is the one wedding per millenium i have to show up for need to be fuckin' Baal's?
Fizz: can't we just Baaail? haha get it——
Exim: that was terrible, and that would be unwise, considering he's the demon king of popularity and social influence. among other things. like a direct royal appointment of Lucifer Himself.
Asmodeus: ugh, i can't stand Baal. his parties are stuffy and boring. he's way too serious to even think about havin' a good time. and, he would absolutely hate my precious Fizzy 🥺🥺😭😭
Fizz: oh, i think i'm gonna baaaawl my eyes out 🤪
Exim: showing up is better than not in this scenario
Asmodeus: as much as i fuckin hate the dude... you're correct.
Fizz: wait, wait. we're going?
Fizz: to a wedding?
Fizz: a pomp and circumstance, stuffy-ass, snooze-fest wedding?!?!?!
Asmodeus: no. I'm going to a pomp and circumstance, stuffy-ass snooze——
Exim: the style of this invitation, as well as this enclosed engagement photo of the betrothed, suggests the theme of the wedding will actually be romantic.
.
Fizz & Asmodeus: UUUUGGGGĞHHHHGHHGGHGGHJKH
.
Asmodeus: this is terrible... 😓😓
Fizz: outrageous!!! 😤😤😤
Asmodeus: the dredgory of disgust... 🤢🤢
Fizz: the nauseation of it all!!! 🤮🤮🤮
Asmodeus: Fizzy... 😭😭😭
Fizz: boss, i fear... i fear you may not come back alive.. 🥺🥺
.
Exim: there's a plus-one option.
Fizz: ohhhh, no. you are not shoving me onto that smoochy, hellhole within a hellhole bandwagon.
Exim: actually, you can just fill in whatever number of people you want.
Asmodeus: so i can what, then? taint both my beloved jester and my most esteemed dildo artist with all that icky-sticky sentimentality? i think the fuck not!
Fizz: i also think the fuck not!
.
Exim: hm. it seems the reception is offering vegetarian and vegan options
.
Fizz: and they're not even serving meat? boot that guy off his schmucky throne!
Asmodeus: i'm telling you, Baal can't run a party if it saved his stupid life. imma die a horrible, boring, unfucked death at that wedding.
Fizz: i misspoke earlier; this Baal guy has no balls. nix. nada. been gone.
.
Exim: you're both being dramatic
Fizz: hey—— 😠
Asmodeus: Exxy 🥺🥺🥺
Exim: don't call me that. all you've demonstrated thus far is that you'd be the funniest, most cultured, best dressed person in the room at that wedding.
Asmodeus: well of course.. 😮💨
Fizz: boring! 🙄
Exim: if you're all those things, at a wedding——
Asmodeus: uh-huh 😞
Fizz: SNORE 😴
Exim: ——you outshine the whole guest-list.
.
Asmodeus:
Asmodeus:
Asmodeus:
Asmodeus: wait just a minute.
Fizz: wut—
.
Exim: and if you bring a plus one...
Asmodeus: yes... 👀
Exim: you get to one-up the couple.
Asmodeus: yes, more, more... I'm listening! and? and?? 👀👀👀👀
Fizz: what the fuck is going on—
Exim: if you bring a plus two (of your hoes)...
Asmodeus: oh my god, HIT ME, EXIM! 🤩🤩
Fizz: WHY ARE WE YELLING
Exim: you get to take a big, slutty, polyamorous shit on amatanormative monogamy.
Asmodeus: AND 👏THIS👏 IS WHY I HIRED YOU 👏👏👏
Fizz: WHY DID WE JUST CLIMAX, DID YOU JUST JIZZ
Exim: and this is why you pay me double to keep track of your schedule
Asmodeus: and this is why I'm about to pay you 🎵double-and-a-half🎵 😉😉😉
Fizz: UHM. HELLO???? i told stellar jokes this entire time, where's my raise
Exim: yeah, you are about to pay me that. because I'm gonna go figure out our outfits.
Asmodeus: 🎵delicious🎵 dig out your sluttiest dress, Fizzy! i am taking you two to 🎩🌹✨Prom✨🌹🎩

spending literal hours going through forums listing off books with aromantic characters to find a single book where the mc is aro, like actually aro not "we think they might be aro lol," it's an actual book i can read and not briefly published in 2016 with no way of getting a copy, it's not loveless, and it's something i'd actually want to read. i've found 1 book ever.
That shit fucking sucks, people need to understand theres a difference between a character saying "i am Aromantic" and a character just not dating anyone during the book's events,
Also like it being a main character is important, i do not want to be told a book has aromantic rep and then find out its one line in the 3rd of 5 books where the main character says "my aunt is aromantic" then the aunt and her aromanticsm is never mentioned ever.

the MORE aphobia i see in fandoms, the more annoyingly in-your-face aroace i'm going to get. i aint gonna sit back and let aroace get erased, aphobia is literally just repackaged homophobia.

saw someone on here the other day say that we don’t need aromantic and asexual representation in media because that’s a “sanitized” identity like BITCH WHAT????? IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE ASPEC PEOPLE AS CHILDREN THAT IS A YOU PROBLEM.
#also. these people should know that sex isn’t the ONLY THING being queer is about. same for romance.#it IS something but it’s not for everyone nor does everyone have the same feelings on it#just. ugh#tw aphobia#aromantic#asexual#arospec#ace spec#aspec representation#aspec rep#aggie posts

eroticism of the machine this, eroticism of the machine that. what about the AROMANTICISM of the machine. what about the electric comfort of looking at a beautiful turbine engine and knowing that it is just like you. what about the urge to cut open your chest to prove your heart is made of wires and your ribs are made of steel. what about that
#but ily eroticism of the machine people I’m glad you are enjoying your machines#anyways. sure ALL aro(/ace) rep shouldn't be robots#but i personally LOVE the trope#my love for robot characters and machinery imagery is intrinsically linked with aromanticism#(asexuality too in my case)#(but ‘aromanticism’ flowed better in the post)#robotposting#machineposting#aromantic

Wish more people understood the difference between "shipping this aro character because i want to explore their aromanticism and where they stand in the spectrum" and "shipping this aro character because i don't care about their orientation".

"we need more aroace characters" actually we need more aro characters. like just aro because every time a character is aroace the aro part of their identity is conveniently forgotten
#not to be mean or salty but like. every aroace character either is canonically just ace or is corrupted by fandom to just be ace#yes i'm ace yes i want more ace rep but i NEED ace rep to stop overshadowing aro rep ok#aro#aromantic#arospec#ace#asexual#acespec#aroace#aspec#1k
