happy bi visibility day! drew snatcher because I headcanon him to be bi and aroace :] I wish anybody who is bi an awesome day and a friendly reminder to be kind to yourself 💗💜💙!
I feel like aroace people tend to attract aroace people. What are the chances that 4 bi aroaces - @bazkrekkers @sleepless-crows @swift-of-corvids and i - ended up as mutuals.
Occasionally, while not experiencing sexual or romantic attraction, aroaces experience some form of tertiary attraction (sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction) to 2+ genders, so they can still be aroace and bi :)

As you probably know, I'm oriented aroace. I'm currently talking to my irl friends who know this in order to explain to them the attraction that I feel. One thing that made me laugh is that when I explained that someone who wasn't arospec would be allo, they asked if I just ment people who aren't queer. They've just assumed the complete opposite of what all exclusionists are trying to argue.
I am also worried though because he doesn't sound like himself like he's talking different I mean and so I'm quite worried so I'm going to ask him about it tomorrow to check that he's ok.
i got called homophobic because i said "i actually don't like shipping discourse, i hate how people only talk about ships of this media instead of the media itself" because "WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY HATE WHEN PEOPLE SHIP THEY ALWAYS IMPLY WLW/MLM SHIPS ONLY you're homophobic" am i homophobic? the funniest thing about this is the fact that i am actually bi-oriented aroace
One thing i find so funny is that people think they are so progressive for accepting same sex couples, but they still can't wrap their head around the fact that maybe not everyone feels romantic and/or sexual attraction
the straight to bisexual to lesbian to bisexual to biromantic asexual to lesbian to aroace lesbian to bi aroace to aroace to lesbian to bisexual to bi aroace pipeline is so real….
I've been thinking a lot recently and I think might be bi oriented aroace and the label fits quite well. I'm really anxious to tell people though because no one I know understands what it is and I'm not really sure how to explain it to them. I don't really know whether this was asking or telling sorry. I just need advice if that's alright.
Hey there! its always hard to explain identity to people who don't already know what aspec is! heres some small things:
Make sure you're safe first!
This is extremely important! Do not come out if you may be in danger if you do so!
Explaining aroace
Explaining aroace easily is my hardest job, i usually say:
"Aromantic, or aro, is little to no romantic attraction or fluctuation amounts of attraction. Where as Asexual, or ace, is little to no sexual attraction or fluctuation amounts of attraction."

Bi-orintated
This is a newer term for me, hopefully this helps for others and maybe I can summarise for you!
"basically means for me that I don't experience romantic or sexual attraction, but I do experience other types of attraction (sensual, aesthetic etc.) and would like to be in a queerplatonic relationship (a non-romantic, non-sexual relationship) with people of two or more genders." - link
"A bi aroace is an individual who experiences non-romantic, non-sexual attraction to two or more genders. They may be attracted to others in a platonic way, sensual way, aesthetic way, alterous way, queerplatonic way, or a combination of these attractions. A bi aroace might be attracted to both men and women, or they may be attracted to men and nonbinary people, or women and nonbinary people, etc. The term is also inclusive of sapphic, achillean and enbian individuals." - link
basically
"Bi-orintated means that I don't experince romantic or sexual attraction but I might feel platonic, sensual, aesthetic, alterous, queerplatonic attraction or a combination of these attractions."
[ID: Teen Wolf gifs featuring Stiles, with screenshots of aspec-themed tumblr posts edited onto them.
Stiles in the background failing to properly walk through a door and instead smacking into the doorframe, as Lydia talks on the phone in the foreground. The tumblr post is from SandersGrey and says "Being asexual with a lot of aesthetic attraction is like 'no i don't wanna fuck you i'm just gonna keep stealing glances and accidentally walk into a door'."
Stiles making a dramatic confused and amazed expression as he looks at his friends. The tumblr post is from TheRadicalAce and reads "God, sometimes I read how people describe falling in love and its like... that sounds awful???"
Stiles giving a flirty nod to a girl sitting beside him, only to be ignored, so he turns and gives the same nod to Danny on his other side, who also ignores him. The tumblr post is from PixieDustAndBlueButterflies and reads "Being bi oriented aroace is a trip because it's like... in THEORY i'm into everyone. in PRACTICE i'm not really into anyone."
Stiles talking with various body language. At first he tiltes his body in a considering gesture, then shrugs. The tumblr post is from SaltShips and reads "Listen... Listen. Do I want to fall in love? Not really. Do I want to know what it's like? Yes." The second "listen" is italicized and drawn out.
