I'm curious. Tag this with your sexuality and what your favorite M/F ship is.

A reaction image that I really needed

hi. i made some images.

feel free to take them and use for whatever you may need them for. no credit required

so all the girlies (and also those who realized they are not girlies) that were obsessed with joining the hunters of artemis, how is being on the asexual/aromantic spectrum going for you

"i get bitches" ok and? i don't. on purpose. because i never fucking needed them. you fool. you knave. i would pity you if my seething contempt for your kind didn't get in the way first

@thanksveryga

Here’s a comic I made about identifying as asexual and aromantic! I made it for an anthology which ended up falling through, so I thought it would be a good idea to post it on Valentine’s Day.

Take care of yourselves out there! http://raizap.com/

The pain of being aroace but wanting so badly to be held tightly by somebody's arms

so all the girlies (and also those who realized they are not girlies) that were obsessed with joining the hunters of artemis, how is being on the asexual/aromantic spectrum going for you

Okay so I haven’t identified as a-spec for years but I still think about this a lot.

Guys I realized I fucked up by rephrasing the question last second so the “yes” and “no” aren’t as clear. But I think the rest of the context makes it clear.

asexual : does not experience sexual attraction.

aromantic : does not experience romantic attraction.

other ace / aro spectrum identity : labels that fall under the asexual & aromantic umbrellas !! such as demisexual/romantic, greysexual/romantic, ace/arospike, etc. :-)

about a month ago, my uncle asked if I had a significant other. I appreciate his gender inclusivity, of course.

I'm used to the question. it's not like it's something outrageous that he's asking. so I simply said no, that's not for me.

he looked at me and said "well, someday." not someday maybe, just.... someday.

of course I'm not quick to anger, but there's a part of me that's a little more defensive about my aroace identity. so I jumped to my defense.

my uncle isn't a bad guy, he's quite nice and tries his best to be respectful in the current political shit storm by supporting queer people. but apparently that does exclude me, an aroace.

I reiterated that I'm just not interested in a romantic or sexual partnership, and I really do not ever see that changing.

and he said something to the effect of "it's okay if you don't want that now."

and I said, "no, it's just okay that I don't want that."

and he said that I was pessimistic. as if I was secretly searching for a relationship or a partner, but was rejecting love because I could not find one.

I calmly (with all the rage in my veins) told him "no, a life without love or sex is something optimistic for me."

he had the gall to look horrified.

I'm sick of aroace people not being seen as normal human people when they don't want the outcome of their life to look like everyone else's. I'm sick of the white picket fence, I'm sick of the assumption that everyone has another half out there.

I'm whole on my own.

I'm whole on my own

The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"

and

"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"

i think the tags are important
