Shoutout to my favourite asexual

Some random video I made for more backup

Edit in 27/7/22: HOLY SHIT THIS BLEW UP, TYSM 🤲

I kinda love that Barbie is now an ace icon. Hell yeh presentation does not correlate to sexuality.

“I’m Your Landsailor” by IneffableDoll, chapter 1

T, 4.5k words (so far)

In a small seaside town called Tadfield, one of the last places on Earth where humans and magic coexist, an exiled selkie and a human who ran away from her life accidentally get themselves married in the oldest, most binding sense. The two are forced to stay together until they can find a way to undo it and free the other from their accidental marriage. It sure would be complicated if they started to fall for each other in the process… * (Prewritten; new chapters every Tuesday and Saturday!)

HAPPY JUNE!

Not only is it my birthday month (cancer baby over here!) But it's my first Pride to celebrate as Ace!

I hope y'all have a great Pride Month and know that this Ace over here loves you and is here for you! You love yourself and screw the rest of them, you are PERFECT!

I will always advocate for every queer person's right to be a fully autonomous sexual being-and that always must and always will include asexuals. Recognizing the significance of queer sex should not mean that every queer person should be mandated to meet an arbitrary sexual prerequisite in order for their queerness to be affirmed. Centering queerness around sex leaves very little room for queer folks for whom sex is insignificant, or for whom sex is never or rarely possible, or for queer folks who have never had sex before, or for queer folks whose only sexual experiences have been violent. It also leaves a lot of queer people, especially young ones, feeling pressured to have a certain amount or certain type of sex in order to legitimate or prove their queerness to themselves or to someone else.

"you're aroace? how do you survive?" well I'll tell you how I survive susan I adore my friends with every fibre of my being. I would take a bullet for them I wouldn't even think twice. you can take your traditional marriage values and stuff them where the sun doesn't shine because me and my favourite human in this hell-forsaken universe have been talking for seven hours and we're seeing how many grapes we can fit in our mouths and that's better than romance actually. do you even know how much I love them

I really really hope they find some way to make Alastor's aromanticism and asexuality explicit.

I see that they're trying to do that what with Alastor rejecting Angel's advances but it's not really enough (and tbh I don't even know what would constitute as "enough" while still making narrative sense in the story). Hell I've even seen a couple of reaction videos that've taken Alastor's "never going to happen" in response to Angel wanting to make a porn with him as "oh yeah it's definitely going to happen" bc you know that's the trope.

And then there's the thing with Mimzy where even though the show explicitly said they were just friends some reactors still assumed that they must "secretly be together or in love with each other" or some shit like that.

But I'm not really blaming the show for any of this because people will be people and will continue to have their assumptions based on mainstream media and society's values and again it's really hard to portray asexuality/aromanticism without having a full on coming out scene that would probably end up being cheesy in this kind of setting.

The most I can see the show doing is having Alastor just straight up say that he isn't interested in anything romantic or sexual (w/o using the terms asexual or aromantic of course which tbh would actually make more sense since Alastor is from the 30s and refuses to engage in/learn anything modern). But tbh that would probably lead to most viewers (especially the cis straight ones) just thinking that Alastor not being interested in romance/sex has something to do with his past or the fact that he's a serial killer and very likely has mental problems.

this what a relationship is?

HOLY FUCK HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS

Just because a character you see with aromantic traits doesn't make them aroace. It's fine to have your head cannons, but when ALL that is stated is a distaste for romance, I find it troubling to call them ace. PLEASE let me have this character as just aro.

Not necessarily aroallo, but just the aromantic label. Really made that because someone has aro qualities that it means they are aroace.

AGAIN

Aromantic experience -> aroace experience -/> Asexual experience

Asexual experience -> aroace experience -/> Aromantic experience

BUT if the aroace experience fits both then obviously

Aromantic experience <- aroace experience ->Asexual experience

I've been on Tumblr for a few years now, but I've never posted. I'm a closeted asexual and I kind of want to post about my asexuality and all of my experiences. I'm basically using Tumblr as a diary lol. I'm hoping that either other aces will relate to the stuff I post. And I would definitely love some advice cause being in the closet sucks.

Valentine's Day really got me thinking about my Aromantic homies.

"Penny is My Best Friend"

I've been wanting to make some comics about Ryn and Penny + Hero for a while so here's a little break in between main comic stuff :p

Yeah I’m dtf. Diabolical Tiny Frog.

Sometimes I’m just filled with so much love for my friends that I wanna kiss them in the most platonic way possible

Friendships mean so much to me as an aroace person. I actually feel like I cherish my friendships more because of it too
