since pride month is coming up or whatever:
include aspecs in your pride. include aces and aros and those that are aspec in other ways; include those that are somewhere on the spectrum; include aros that aren't ace; include aroaces; include aces that aren't aro; include aspecs in relationships; include aspecs that never want relationships; include cishet aspecs; include aspec identities you don't hear about often; include our flags and include our voices
we are as much a part of this community as any other queer person

Non-SAM-aroace / ay alt flags :)
These all use colors from @neopronouns' ay flags [link], and @arokill's general non-SAM flag [link].
The 5 stripe flags follow the format of these non-SAM-ace [link] and non-SAM-aro [link] flags. 1st one is just blue, while the 2nd one uses grey / is darker.
The 7 stripe flags are based on my non-SAM-ace / non-SAM-aro alt flags [link]. The 1st one uses grey / is lighter, while the 2nd one is more blue/darker.
Basically, I just wanted non-SAM-aroace (aka ay) flags that matched the non-SAM-ace/aro flags that I listed. I like the original ay flags too.

aspec identities are literally the footnote of the lgbtqia+ community. like if you're lucky, you might encounter information about asexuals, and if you're really lucky, you might learn something completely wrong about aros!

The aspec club at my school is 80% trans/nonbinary so I’m curious

I know this sounds weird but I think I’m a non-SAM aroace. Like, the two identities feel like one and the same to me, but I don’t prefer one over the other in order to be seen as either “non-Sam aro” or “non-Sam ace”. It’s just one thing to me and I end up using ace, aro, and aroace in different spaces depending on which is most relevant. But there is no split to me and I only use aroace so others can know that I’m both. But it sounds as weird to me as having to say I’m Bibi if I was bisexual and biromantic...

sometimes I regret getting my love is love tattoo, purely because it excludes those of us who don't feel love of any kind, but at the same time slogan is important to me. love is love. platonic love is love, romantic love is love et cetera. but not feeling love is also okay. i quite enjoy using the word love--though i know a lot of loveless people don't--so i dont wholly regret it? but also i wish it was more inclusive, yknow?

Do you have to be really into sex to be alloaro? This might seem ignorant, so sorry. I just, I might be alloaro. I am definitely aromantic. Been going by nonSAM aro, but like the sexual attraction is there. I do like sex, just more in theory than practice.
Also what advice do you have for questioning alloaros?
Nope! Your view on sex and the way you experience attraction can be very different. For me personally, I’m not super into sex—a lot of people think I’m asexual, honestly. Even before they realize I’m aro. But I know I’m aroallo because I experience sexual attraction the way other allos do. It’s mostly what you’re attracted to rather than what you like doing, because if you think about it, there are plenty of allosexual people who get nervous about sex or who have a lower sex drive. But again, labels are also bullshit, so define yourself however you want. :)
As for advice, I say don’t let people bring you down or tell you what you are. A lot of aroallo people run into the problem of being seen as predatory because they don’t experience romance the same way other people do (if at all). However, on the other side of the coin, you may find people questioning your aroallo identity because you’re not a very overtly sexual person (like me). Don’t let those people get in your head either. Ground yourself in whatever your identity is and live your truth! It sounds stupid, but it really helps a lot.

solum ace
Tumblr media
solum ace describes on the asexual spectrum who does not have, or does not label a romantic orientation. it says nothing about possible non-rose orientations. it's similar to non-sam ace, except it explicitly includes the possibility of non-rose orientations. non-SAM aces could fall under solum ace.
background: when i realised i was aromantic in 2020, i questioned the hell out of everything and because romance is a social construct and this incredibly subjective, i decided the concept of romance is not useful to me whatsoever. it doesn't apply to me, my life, my love, my relationships, anything. it plays no role in my life and it would be incorrect to call anything i experience "romantic" or similar. not long ago, i kind of rediscovered the term quoiromantic (many years ago i found this term defined as "not being able to tell the difference between romantic and other attractions" and ignored it because it did not apply) and one of the definition was finding romance and romantic orientation inapplicable to oneself, which described me perfectly. my romantic orientation is like my aesthetic orientation: i don't really have either, but due to amatonormativity, i do feel the need to make a statement on my (lack of) romantic orientation. "non-sam ace" is one term used by aces who don't have/label a romantic orientation, but i found it unfitting to me because a) i don't do "attraction" in general and b) i almost always see it used in a way that excludes non-rose orientations from being a possibility, and my sensual and alterous orientations are very important to me. "quoiro ace" would work, but quoiromantic has about 7 definitions and i wanted something specific to this experience, hence i coined solum ace, which is explicitly inclusive of non-rose orientations as it only makes a statement on being ace and not having a romantic orientation, and nothing else. (note: you'll still see me identify as aromantic, not because that's my romantic orientation but because i use it to mean "without romance" and still find it useful to relate to how amatonormativity harms me.)

so ive been rereading loveless, as one does, and its made me think about the aspec community a lot
im aroace and i relate to georgia a lot but also we have had very different experiences . i never wanted romance and i was more relieved about finally figuring out my sexuality than sad abt missing out on romance and sex. when i was questioning, i was confused and uncertain and i relate to a good chunk of her thoughts when she was questioning. we also have similar personalities too tbh. there was so much i related too and so much that i didnt
i think that loveless has rlly shown me that every aspec has such a different and unique experience and we still come together to support each other, from oriented aspecs to loveless aros to nonsam aces and i think that is so beautiful and i love that about this community.
anyways alice osemans books are making me emotional again and i had to write abt the wonderful aspec community
