*im using "dating" to refer to any kind of romantic relationship, it just fits neater in the boxes! interpret as u see fit

pls leave your thoughts in the tags im genuinely very curious

#look ok yknow how a lot of ace people tend to be sexually active for whatever reason #im kinda wondering if the same principle applies here #my GUESS is that it does but also the two are very different #i feel like most people are more likely to compromise/want to branch out with sex rather than dating #like...sleeping with a partner even tho youre ace? makes sense #dating someone for months even when youre aro? makes less sense #idk im having Thoughts #reblog pls!!!!#aromantic #aromantism #aroace #lgbtqia #polls

genuine question, why does the pjo fandom constantly make artemis a lesbian, or put her in relationships with the hunters? like genuine question. cause none of the hunters are in romantic or sexual relationships. i know in the beginning it was just no relationships and maidenhood with respect to men. but emmie and josephine literally left the hunters because they were in love. theres no love allowed when you are a hunter. so why does everyone assume that they are dating ech other?

facts about asexuality since some people still see it as a black and white thing

ASEXUALITY IS A SPECTRUM not every ace person will have the same views on sex and sexual media

ace people can still masterbate and get horny, some of us don’t want to be involved in the act of sex but are just okay with preforming self pleasure

asexual people can still have sex, like i said it’s a spectrum. Demisexual people are only comfortable having sex with someone they have both a platonic and romantic relationship with and Fraysexual only have sexual attraction to those they don’t know very well

komodo dragons, sharks, starfish, and snails are known for reproducing asexually

not every asexual person is aromantic and not every aromantic person is asexual

asexual people can still experience romantic attraction, for some reason, aromantics and asexuals are often seen as the same when they’re not

asexuality is not a new term, we’ve always been here. it was first recognized in the late nineteenth century, but that doesn’t mean it never existed before that time

NOT EVERY ACE PERSON HAS SEXUAL TRAUMA. this is a big one. some of us just don’t like sex or the idea of sex and that’s okay :)

hope this was somewhat educational to some allosexual people who are still confused about us and i hope you enjoyed these facts!

feel free to reblog and add to these if you wish ^^

i want ppl to start using platonic like how they do romantic

"Your so sweet! Thats so platonic of you!" And not have it be like "OH YA NOO, were definitely not romantic, that'd be gross" but in a way of like, genuine apritiation and sweetness of how stuff like "thats so romantic" sounds <2

Hellow people, mutuals and strangers 👋🏽

Today is the day. Thank you so much to all of you who answered my posts and reassured me during this internal conflict.

So yeah. I will now start identifying as arospec too.

And if it somehow changes, we'll see! 🖤💚

fun fact (not fun at all fact actually) :

aromanticism and asexuality are still treated as issues to be fixed in most therapy settings, at least in the western psychiatric institution. i cannot fucking mention my aromanticism or asexuality to a therapist or it’ll immediately become their primary concern and goal to fix. whether or not i have a partner/am trying to have a partner is actively being used as an indicator of my wellness, regardless of if i WANT one. i cannot have access to needed mental health ressources because of fear of conversion therapy. aro and/or ace conversion therapy is the norm in most psychiatric institutions and we are getting told by the rest of the queer community that our oppression isnt real and that there is no link between our struggles and theirs.

Things friends can't do according to allos!

(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe. Also I know not all allos are like this.)

Give each other meaningful gifts

Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes

Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)

Match clothes or accessories

Hold hands for 'too long' (???)

Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)

Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'

Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands

Lean onto the other emotionally and physically

Smile in one another's presence

Laugh at each others jokes

Give genuine advice

Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc

Ask how the others doing

I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

I honestly hate how characters who dont like the opposute sex are automatically assumed to be gay. I hate it even more when the character explicitly shows no interest at all in any gender.

for example reyna from hoo was the first fucking aroace coded chracter i ever saw in a book. she was one of the first chracters to finally make me feel heard. i finally felt like there was a chracter i could truely relate to and who understood me. and i might sound like a bitch, but i absolutely fucking hate when people make her a lesbian. thankfully its rare to see her in a hetero pairing. but seeing her in a queer pairing isnt any better.

there are so many other chracters who would work better in queer parings, so why does it always have to be the aroace chracter.

Ive also noticed that its more common for a female aroace chracter to be put in lesbian pairings way more than male ones. correct me if im wrong though.

the aroace rep is so fucking rare anyways, so please stop putting them in relationships. while there are aroace people who want to be in relationships, not all of them want to be in a relationship, and they dont have to be you first pick for one.

im just so tired of seeing aroace chracters constantly being changed to fit ships. this might be very bitchy put for the fucking hell please stop.
