#I’m also aromantic

[junebug-is-bugging-you]

Whats up nerds, I’m alive

If you don’t recognize the blog that’s understandable, I literally just edited and changed everything.

The previous blog name was emmijuu, and I was previously going by the name Emma. Since then, a lot has changed.

Now obviously I haven’t been active for upwards of two years, and I pretty much have no excuse other than I just fell out of tumblr and had lost interest for a while. The primary reason I ever made a tumblr account was because I was feeling lonely during quarantine. I missed my friends and even though I was messaging with them every day, I was still missing human interaction and needed some sort of social media that would fit me and my nerdy 8th grade brain. So what did I do? Well, my IRL friend @bordon-freeman had an account on this funky little website called tumblr, and I decided hey, why tf not?

But what happened, is I eventually started high school. In person. And when I was finally able to see people again, I guess my need for tumblr fizzled out. Leading me to go inactive for a very long time. And for that, I apologize.

I’m sorry for those of of you who were my friends on this website, I kinda just up and dipped out of here, without really any warning or heads-up. Not even a goodbye.

So, now that we’re here…

I don’t know if I’ll still be active on tumblr. I want to try because I really miss this website and the energy it emits, and what it has to offer in terms of people, and content. I’ve met some of the nicest people on here. Realistically I’m not sure I’ll be able to stay active on here, because I’ve been gone so long and then just popped up out of nowhere.

But I still want to try. What can you expect from me in the future? Most likely the same things as before, but with even more fandom shit and an improved art style. I don’t know how well this will go, but we’ll see.

From now on please do me a favor and call me June, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you all for reading, and expect to hear from me soon. And please, DM me and/or send me asks if you feel comfortable doing so!

you can literally just be aromantic. it’s free and nobody’s stopping you :)

#PSA!!!!!!! #this is a ‘being aromantic is so awesome and you can do it whenever’ post #like. i love being aromantic and i get to do it all the time. #but also if you’re questioning whether you’re aro. you can just be aromantic. it’s free and nobody is stopping you :) #questioning aspecs come be aromantic with me i’m kissing you tenderly on the forehead #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aro positivity #aspec #chitchat #(<— thinking ab a talking tag. need one of those) #talking

Growing up asexual is actually so funny because all of a sudden people all around are like ‘oh my god what if I don’t know how to kiss??? I have to practice!’ And start doing unhinged things and the whole time you’re like

#mine #asexuality #and also the wanting to get with someone thing #and also to an extent the wanting a romantic relationship et all but I haven’t decided if I’m aromantic or Demi romantic soooo #i can’t believe y’all got this to 1K #oh good lord now it’s at 1.5k #holy fuck we’re at 2K #I’ve really loved reading everyone’s ace experiences #very comforting to remember I’m not alone

[demi-romantics]

Truly experiencing the opposite of a gay panic, the aro/ace dread, when I think somebody has a crush on me

#like I’m flattered but also makes me very uncomfortable #I totally borrowed aro ace dread from #@our-aroace-experience #aromantic #asexual #demiromantic #demisexual #graysexual #grayromantic #joke #but also true

[laomelettedufromage]

One of my pet peeves after having gotten very into swing dance as an aroace is seeing videos of people swing dancing or really doing any type of partner dance and over half the comments just being stuff like “how are they not in love😳” or “friends🤨” like please free yourselves, you can have a lot of chemistry and fun dancing with someone and it doesn’t have to be anything more than that!! Just fun!!! I’m not saying a little bit of lighthearted friendly love can’t be involved but it’s not always that deep, it’s just having fun!!

#also in reality half the time I’m dancing with men old enough to be my dad ahskajaksks #and they’re very fun to dance with!!! #and like yeah I’m a type of person who I’d say I fall in love with random strangers a lot and that can carry over into dancing #using the term love very broadly here obviously #and that’s okay if you’re that type of person but also… it’s not that deep… just two people having fun #do I make sense here? #aroace #swing dance #partner dance #east coast swing #west coast swing #aromantic #asexual #by yours truly the omelette of cheese

[fawndlyvenus]

You know what’s funny? How I can say that I headcanon a character as somewhere on the ace spectrum and/or aro spectrum, and within minutes I am being treated as if I am somehow very unintelligent and know nothing of the world.

#venus speaks #ace #acespec #asexuality #aro #arospec #aromantic #asexuel #Seriously tho let me live in peace #and bonus points for people trying to tell me – someone on the ace spectrum – that I don’t know what those really are #I’m just so damn tired of not being allowed to talk about and/or bring my own headcanons to the table anymore #And it’s also not just me. I see it everywhere and it’s honestly making me upset and uncomfortable as hell

[animit-y]

Hot take:

If a character doesn’t have a canon Sexuality and/or Gender Identity there isn’t any harm in having your own headcannons.

Specially Changing a characters Canonical Sexuality/Gender Identity so it fits better with your ships is disgusting behavior.

I’m looking all you Radio/Whatever shippers in the eyes when I say this.

Alastor is Aroace.

If he were in a relationship with someone, it would be a QueerPlatonic one. He wouldn’t be having kids with anyone. He wouldn’t be kissing anyone. He is Asexual and Aromantic.

And it’s getting increasingly frustrating as an Aroace person with even Less representation in Media than other lgbtq+ sexualities/identities, to see what little representation we do have get changed and disregarded.

It isn’t even about Alastor at this point, there’s so many Ace and Aro coded characters, or canon Ace characters, who get ignored, overlooked, or have their sexualities changed to something else and I’m so tired of it.

Asexual and Aromantic people aren’t any less valid than any other Sexuality. We deserve to have representation in the media, and we deserve to have that representation respected by other members of the lgbtq+ community.

“oh this character i previously headcanoned as just aromantic showed interest in someone so i guess i gotta headcanon them as allo/demiaro/grayro now” what’s stopping you from continuing to headcanon them as aromantic and writing that relationship anyway you can do whatever you want

#this is not a jab at demiaro/grayro headcanons but i’m just saying you don’t need romance for a meaningful bond #or hell even attraction #also don’t worry about blorboposting. this post is about miles edgeworth who i headcanon as aroace #kiwi’s calls #aromantic #kiwi’s aspec posting #aspec #found this in my drafts so im posting it

“OMG THEY ARE SO HOT” - said the person who never felt attraction to someone in their life.

#I know you can find people attractive if the look good I’m just stating something silly #can also apply to asexuals and aroace better #aromantic #aro #aromantism #aroace #asexual #aromanticism #ace #aspec

Afterwards, they do a race. They don’t talk about it, but it’s there, between them still. Something settled between them. Cleo doesn’t know how to say it; they never know how to say things like this. Still, they need to, so they wait until Ren’s race is over and then hike through the jungle to go sit on top of Etho’s base and wait for him to show up as well.

He doesn’t. He’d gone to their base. Instead of just showing up for each other, they have to somewhat awkwardly coordinate over text which base to meet at. It forces everything to feel more real.

When they finally meet up, it’s in the shopping district, leaning against the button. A dangerous game in theory, but Cleo’s not fully convinced it can explode at this point, so.

Cleo breathes. They’re both quiet for a moment.

"Okay, so like, are we doing this?" Cleo says.

"I don’t really know, uh, what this is," Etho says, "but I… care about you. I think. So I think we’re doing that."

Cleo nods once. "You know I don’t fall in love, right? I’m not going to fall in love with you, I don’t do that. Might say something about loving you, but it’s not the same thing. Different sense of the word. It’s different, loving people and falling in love, got it? And I won’t do that second thing. I’m never going to do that second thing. I don’t--"

"Okay. I know," Etho says.

"Do you?" Cleo asks.

"I mean, not entirely, but I’m frankly surprised we’re having this conversation in the first place. I never expected you to be in love with me."

"But I’m not," Cleo says. "I’m attracted to you, and I love you as like, a companion and friend or whatever, but I’m not in love with you. I’m. Ugh. I wish I knew the right words. I just--I also don’t let go of things so if we’re doing this you’re going to have to get used to that real fast. Me not being in love with you but me not letting you go, both of those things."

"You're attracted to me? Aw, Cleo," Etho says.

"Don't be an ass," Cleo says.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just, geez, this is--a heavy conversation, huh?"

Cleo sighs. "We'll work on the deflection."

Etho rubs the back of his head and looks away. "Uh, in that case. If I'm maybe a little in love with you--"

"I can't--I can't reciprocate that, Etho," Cleo says, and their voice cracks as they do.

"I know," Etho says. "I just want to make sure it's okay, then."

"You can't help that, can you? Just like I can't help that I still sort of want to kill anyone who hurts you."

Etho seems to think about it for a while. Cleo resists the urge to fidget. She's a zombie. She shouldn't have the urge to fidget; she should be too dead for that. Besides, it's hardly like it's a secret she doesn't fall in love, exactly. It's just... it's only relevant sometimes. Feeling like, as she watches Etho and Bdubs dance around each other, she's on the outside looking in. She'd kill to hold their hands, to protect them, hell, even to kiss them--but that's different. She just can't summon the same emotion of... she doesn't know.

Martyn had almost gotten it, for all he didn't get anything else, in the end. Scott was never going to fall in love with her in the first place, for obvious reasons. Whatever attraction she and Pearl have going on, it's definitely not love.

But this...

"Okay," Etho says.

"That's it?" Cleo says.

"I mean, does it need to be anything else?" Etho says. "It's not like we can just... not do this. I think it's too late for that. Whatever 'this' is. I'm in love, and you aren't, but we'd both be pretty upset to lose this, right? So I'll... figure it out."

Cleo swallows. They feel small. "Will you? Do you understand?"

Etho shrugs. "I understand that it's you, and it's you that this happened with, not anyone else."

"Okay," Cleo says. "Okay."

"Is it okay if I kiss you? Just to try it, I mean. Not like, as a--this is a bad time, actually, I don't want to try to make any kissing we do romantic, I mean, you just told me this won't be romantic, I--"

"Yeah, sure, you can kiss me," Cleo says, and he leans in to kiss them. It's nice. A little soft for what they'd want, really, but nice. He leans back. He looks them in the eyes.

"I get it a little more now."

Cleo is baffled. "How? Kissing is just like, a thing we did? How does that have anything to do with any of the rest of this."

Etho laughs. "I definitely get it a little more now. What do you want to tell the others? I know they're definitely gossiping."

"Ugh. Can we just, like, not?" Cleo says. "I don't want to have to explain it."

"I'll just be confusing then, got it," Etho says, and Cleo can't help but laugh themselves.

"This is why you're my favorite," Cleo says, and they think maybe this will work out okay, after all.

do any of my friends know the love I carry in every word i say to them. When I add too many words, drag on a joke that’s over, when I message them despite the fact the conversation barely ended five minutes ago? every word i speak is an intimacy that’s laced with outright adoration for them as people and all the little details that make them who they are. Do you know I love you? Do y’all know how much of you I try to commit to memory? How much I try to make you smile? do y’all know the love I feel for you?

listen. I have never watched Riverdale and never will. but that doesn’t mean I’m not sO FUCKING PISSED at the polycule ending.

I’m not mad about the polyamory (I would like to stress this point for anyone who wants to come after me for this post), I’m mad that Jughead Jones, one of, like, the two aroace characters in media people have actually maybe heard of (the other being Yelena Belova) is part of this romantic, sexual relationship.

he’s ace!!!

he’s aro!!!

and it fucking stings that the writers thought it was okay to erase that aroace rep when there’s next to none for us to begin with.

fuck your amatonormativity and fuck your queer erasure. we aspecs deserve better.

[glitchedcosmos]

I am obsessed with the idea of two characters growing into love instead of falling in love, like they wouldn’t instantly love each-other, they would learn with time how much they deeply mean to one another, on all their good and bad days they would choose to love the other , learn new things they like to do together, live their lives and wanting the other by their side always,they’d grow into a live they made all by themselves. growing into a sense of love that isn’t exactly romantic , but a love they made together, a bond that they wouldn’t break for the world

Does anyone else on the aroace spectrum ever feel like

I’m in my twenties and I WANT these big epic romances I see in movies and tv and books and even in my social circles but

I literally feel no attraction to anyone

Like I feel like I’m missing out on this life experience but I can’t help it

#and then the one person I did ever like didn’t like me back so there’s that #I’m demisexual btw #asexual #ace #aroace #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #aromantic #ace spec #asexual spectrum #demisexual #demiromantic #gray asexual #graysexual #queer #also the amount of people trying to diagnose my identity from this post #I know you mean well and are trying to be helpful #but I was trying to make a relatable post about a feeling I’ve had lately #and ngl some of the identity suggestions come off a little condescending #esp when I already put my identity in the tags #idk

[octolingplush]

even though i’m aroace i will continue to be feral about fictional characters because

1. i thought people were joking so i went along with it

2. if anything, i am committed to the bit
