Every ace person NEEDS this freaking book
Tumblr media
It has a dozen fiction stories with ace characters all over the spectrum and in so many genres. Im talking ghost stories, supernatural, drama, sci-fi, you name it. I've literally cried three times while reading it I feel so seen
This is the representation ace people need. In every category. We need full length novels dedicated to the ace experience because this would've SAVED me as a kid.
If you're on the aspec, this books is for you.

Posting this meme is well and good just make sure it’s not the version that says “asexuals are on thin ice”

little rant
Somethimes i think I’m faking being ace. And then I remember that I am surrounded by barely dressed people of all shapes and shades and genders all day at work and not once did I have any kind of attraction to one of them. I mean. If I was allo then I would take a (respectful) second look at Someone right? But no. The only double take i do is: Exuse me. That person has a tattoo of a what on their where? Did I see that right?
And then I hold my ace keychain and nod to myself. I’m legit.

Saw a reddit post today about a girl who was upset that her childhood best friend replaced a photo of the two of them in his wallet with one of him and his girlfriend. And while yeah, she was being unreasonable with a lot of what she was saying, I totally understand the sadness of a friend "replacing" you with someone they have romantic feelings for. Makes it worse when the top comment is this
Tumblr media
Every single comment on this post is about how family and romantic relationships always take precedence over friendships. I don't have anything more to say to this aside from the fact that... this is why it's hard for aroaces to imagine futures for themselves. Society drills it into your head that you're going to live in a world where you are no one's priority if you don't have romantic relationships and it fucking sucks

The response to "ace people are just virgins who can't get laid!" Shouldn't be "ace people can still have sex!" but instead " being a virgin isn't a bad thing."
The response to "aro people are just heartless freaks!" Shouldn't be "aro people can still feel love!" And instead be "not feeling love or other emotions doesn't make you a bad person."
Instead of pushing the idea that aspec people can be "normal like allos" we should instead be trying to normalize aspec experiences. Yes aspec people can be normal because aspec identities are normal. Some aros fall in love. some aces have sex. but they should not be the only valid aspec experiences. We should not use these experiences to make the aspec identity more palatable to amatonormativity and allos.

How to tell someone you're asexual:
"I'm asexual" ❌️
This is boring and not everyone will get what you mean
My blood line shall end at me" 👍
This makes you seem super cool and makes your point well
"The blood of my ancestors will cease when I eternally rest for I have no intention to breed" ✅️
Makes you seem Shakespeare-esque and articulates your point well 🧐

Did any other aspec person go through a point in time where you would discuss sexual attraction with another aspec person, but neither of you knew you were aspec?
So you both accidently affirmed that all people felt the same way and it took you forever to realize that allos do actually exist and experience sexual attraction?
Or is it just me? :]

I hate it when people's first reaction to me saying I'm aroace is "oh but don't you wanna have a partner and kids in the future, won't you be sad without that" Like no bitch I'm gonna be happy living alone in the peace and quiet with my cats and dogs and 1000 books to keep me company and I'm gonna be just as happy and complete as every other person out there if not happier.

So, luffy and ace with their crazy family lines. Most people consider them devils because of it. And sabo. Who has like super normal parents in comparison and doesn’t even have the “Will of D”. And yet, he still manages to be the most insane out of all of them?
