in honor of aromantic spectrum awareness week, i thought i'd take the time to talk about how much my personal life and feelings improved after coming to terms with the fact that i'm aromantic. before i accepted this, i found myself in several romantic relationships where i was deeply unhappy, uncomfortable, and made to feel like i wasn't a good enough partner because i just couldn't do or feel certain things.
i've never enjoyed kissing, and cuddling gets uncomfortable for me within the first few minutes of doing so. even hugs are deeply uncomfortable to me unless i really know and care about someone, and even then, hugs only come when that person asks for them. it never occurs to me to touch people this way, the most you'll get out of me is a pat on the shoulder, back or knee.
i ended up dating several people who were very much romantics, and heavily focused on that aspect of our relationship. it kind of felt like torture to me, i felt like i was being forced to live every day like it was Valentine's Day- every day had to be filled with hours of cuddling, kissing, and telling the other person how much i loved them. while not all romantic partners are like this, it wore on my psyche quickly to be paired with folks like this, because i understood how important it was to them, but i just couldn't keep up the performance.
i thought something was "wrong" with me for years and that i just wasn't in touch with my emotions, or that i was somehow embracing some toxic aspects of my masculinity without realizing. it took me ages to remember that i came out as aromantic when i was much younger, but after criticism from my friends, including a friend who was asexual, i stopped identifying with the label, because i was told that aromanticism wasn't real, and that that just made me an asshole.
nearly a decade and several uncomfortable romantic relationships later, it finally clicked that there wasn't something wrong with me, but there was something wrong with the situations i was getting myself into. sure, i love being partnered- i have a queerplatonic partner that i've known for a decade and have only gotten closer to over time. but we've never been romantic. we don't exchange romantic platitudes, and i realized; i've never been happier with someone else than i am with this person.
why is that?
oh. because they don't expect romance from me. they are also on the aspectrum and don't have a romantic partner, either.
this relationship has brought me more joy than any romantic partnership i've ever attempted to pursue. that doesn't mean there's something wrong with me- i was just looking for happiness in the wrong places. i was miserable not because i'm aromantic, but because i was getting into romantic relationships.
romance can be a source of misery. romance does not inherently make everyone happy. we are not all looking for romance as a species. in fact, chasing it makes many people miserable. too many people spend their lives looking for "the one" that they can kiss, cuddle, hold and say all of those mushy things to when they may not even want that to begin with.
i've never been more at peace with myself since finally, fully accepting that i'm aromantic. i love who i am, and i love how i love. i am not loveless, i experience platonic, queerplatonic and other forms of love. but loveless aromantics aren't miserable, either. we are all embracing ourselves in a way that's true to us. we are refusing to warp ourselves to a society that tells us that we all must have homogeneous feelings.
i am aromantic. i am here. my aromanticism is queer in a society that expects and demands romance of me, and this is true of all aromantics, cis, trans, gay, straight, bisexual, asexual, and otherwise. we are here, we are not going away any time soon, and we will not be silent because our identities make some people uncomfortable. we are happiest being who we are.
happy aro week, this goes out to every last arospectrum person out there, appreciate yourselves this week. you deserve it.

Dysphoric culture is wanting a phalloplasty without a vaginectomy and not being able to find any doctors who've ever done it, and then crying because you know your ideal configuration apparently isn't a thing that happens.
I want to keep my vulva/vagina, but I still want a penis, and I can't tell you the amount of times I've cried because I don't think this type of surgery is even done or, if it is, done in the US at least. It sucks so much.
Dysphoric culture is!
Also anon, great news: this surgery is real! It’s called vagina-preserving phalloplasty or VPP.
There aren’t a ton of surgeons who perform it in the US but some (from the Crane Center in California) are listed here. There’s also someone in New York that talked about getting a vagina-preserving metoidioplasty in a news article but mod doesn’t know who their surgeon was. More info and some more surgeons are here.
More people are getting nonbinary bottom surgeries so there are slightly more resources around now. Good luck anon!
(For those wanting the opposite of this, phallus-preserving vaginoplasty exists too.)

Something I noticed today that I surprisingly haven’t seen anyone talk about is a detail in release the demons. After King Dice flirts with the devil the next time we see the devil he took a shower. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The two scenes are probably unrelated but thought this would be funny and decided to roll with it. I also thought it was really random that the net time we see the devil he’s coming out of the shower. Also let’s be honest who wouldn’t take a shower if King Dice flirted with them.

So on Disney plus there is now a section for LGBTQIA+ stories and they have some questionable additions...
Tumblr media
American horror story a bit weird but I guess there were actual queer characters in it, didn't watch the later seasons but the show is rather diverse although the characters probably get killed off...
However the truly questionable addition is Gravity Falls....when Disney blocked Alex Hirsch from making it too gay, wanting to prevent him to make the two policemen an actually confirmed couple. It was just implied in the last episode but still never really made official, because Disney prevented it.
What did they say to Alex Hirsch when they tried to censor anything gay: "Please revise the action of Blubs putting his arm around Durland. As noted in previous concerns, their affectionate relationship should remain comical versus flirtatious."
They wanted a joke gay couple for comic relief, not actual gay representation.
And now they put it in their LGBTQIA section acting as if they are the most progressive and gay friendly corporation ever, when they were homophobic for years and probably still are. They don't care about LGBTQIA people, they only care about our money. They know that nowadays it is monetary advantageous to act as if they care about pride month, but in reality they dont care about us, it is all just an act, Disney isn't actually diverse or progressive, it is all just pandering to get more money.
After all they for sure cut any LGBTQIA scenes in releases for countries that aren't tolerant, for sure not including a pride section on disney plus in those countries. It is all just pure hypocrisy.
I dont say this so people now boycott disney or something, I dont really care about what people do, I still have disney plus for movies, I just want to show the hypocrisy of this corporation so people are aware of it and don't get tricked into thinking that those big corporations actually care when they make rainbow capitalism.
Sorry to start pride month on such a negative note, but at least we already have real representation in other shows and movies nowadays, so best to support those shows and movies. Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈

A very Happy Valentine's Day to any ace, aro, aroace, gray, demi, cupio, abro, quio, placio, akoi, fray and everyone else on the asexual/aromantic spectrum reading this!
Maybe we don't love in the "normal" way, but we're not lonely or broken or cold unfeeling robots. We still love in our own way and are worthy of love!

you're allowed to not know who you are, at any stage of your life. you're allowed to not know what gender you are, or if you're gay, bi, straight, pan, aro, ace or something else. you're allowed to not have words for who you are. you're allowed to change identity labels as many times as you need. you're allowed to figure yourself out. you don't automatically know who you are. you're allowed to not know yet.

Nothing helped me respect my body and sexuality like learning there are also other people who barely if ever have sexual attraction and I wasn’t the only person who had been faking it for as long as I could remember
