So we were talking about Muppet adaptations of classic literary works; somebody jokingly suggested Neil Gaiman’s Sandman on the grounds that due to the World Fantasy Award fiasco it technically qualifies as literature, and I just can’t get the idea out of my head. If they follow the pattern of previous Muppet adaptations, they’d be obliged to put Kermit the Frog in some prominent role, and every conceivable option is objectively hilarious.

oh your pronouns are he/they?

well that’s mathematically incorrect becuase you can still simplify the fraction since both sides have “he”

making your pronouns technically 1/ty

This is your reminder that ace rings are as old as 2005

2005

It’s almost 2020 as of writing this so do the math… that’s about 15 years old

AVEN was founded in 2001

The asexual flag was announced as the official asexual flag in 2010

The ace rings are older than the ace flag and only about four (4) years younger than AVEN

Keep this info laying around somewhere, you’ll need it whenever an acephobe on tumblr makes a claim about the asexual community

“Im asexual and support this message”

Maybe read the post again for good measure.

Why can’t casual sex be more of a thing? Blow your mates dick! Sleep with your BFF. It’s so much safer than random hookups and without the hassle of a romantic relationship?

If you trust someone, and want to blow off steam, the idea that you can’t just fuck is bizarre? Why are casual relationships and flings such a filthy idea? There is a bond, a bed, and time.

A Little Bit About Bell:

Tired Physics student and waiter. I like to volunteer at local kids organisation like a grumpy grandad.

Bell’s Experiences With Being Aro:

I went on a dating binge from age 9+, realising I was gay after dating a guy for 3 years and then dated every woman who showed intrest. By time I was mid 16’s the longest I had been single was a week. I just felt like I was looking for something I couldn’t find. It felt awkward and forced and every romantic gesture was uncomfortable. I kept looking at how I felt surrounded by my friends and thought I needed that but with a wedding ring. Then on Pinterest I found a post about aros was so confused cause it sounded like an ace thing but I started looking it up and I realised the reason I kept dating people was I thought that was what I needed. I’ve been single for over a year now and I love it so much. I can just do what I want and there’s no weight holding me down or feeling like I’m lost.

Things I need the adult aromantic community to talk about more*

*specifically those who intend to be single for life.

1) how to get a good mortgage and buy your first home as a single person.

2) how, exactly, do estate taxes work you intend to leave everything to siblings/cousins and are cousins considered distant relatives?

3) how to deal with the increased cost of health insurance when you are not/don’t plan on marrying.

3a) how much extra will I have to spend on all insurances in general by being single?

4) banking in general while single: how to get benefits from banks similar to those that married couples receive.

5) does family leave at work include siblings/parents or is it limited to spouses/children?

6) how to ensure the right people are making medical decisions for you in the case of an emergency.

7) single parent adoption?

8) single parent IVF (and how to deal with insurances denying you for being single).

9) raising a child as single parent.

There are a lot more but…you know. These are all things I really wish I knew right now.

r u ok?

Oh yeah- the blog just isn’t for me. It was really nice for a while- I got lots of momentum and was interacting with blogs and creating good content but now I just seem angry all the time and the whole blog seems to just revolve around how it sucks to be aro or the same 3 positivity posts. I just don’t feel the same drive?

Tbh I’ve never been shamed or faced any issues for being aro outside of tumblr- my friends are super understanding (To clarify I know others face issues such as being taken of meds and abuse I’ve just been lucky). But my friend recently discovered tumblr brand Pan discourse which made me think about the content I’m making and whether it really means anything.

Starting to feel gross just being on tumblr not gonna lie.

To specify I’m talking about tagging things like sex for the sex repulsed and the policing of alloaro folks self expression.

Stuck in a constant loop of ‘it’s nice that content warnings are being normalised so that people don’t accidently subject themselves to things’ and ‘Why do I have to give content warnings for my existence?’

#alloaro #like if everyone tagged sex it wouldnt feel so bad but I always feel funny about how sexualised being alloaro can be #like why am I tagging everythibg outside of just aro as sex mention?
