A collection of my silly little medieval valentines from previous years, for your enjoyment <3

#valentines day #feel free to send to who you will #I wanna make some aro & ace ones but we’ll have to see if creativity strikes first #I’ll post ‘em later if it does #valentines #medieval #medievalcore #medieval memes #i’ll be on my merry way now

“They’re canonically x you can’t ship them with characters they’re not attracted to”

Vs

“I know they’re canonically aroace but I like the ship and x character is hot”

Shit like this brings the movement down.

Everyone validates queer representation until the character is aroace.

#taking into account of course that aroace people can date #but it is NOT! HOWEVER! A back door to disregard aroace characters. #get creative people. indulging in fantasies abt characters within the respectful bounds of their identity can be done! #hazbin hotel #I’m looking at you lot #hazbin alastor #Alastor #alastor the radio demon #Hazbin #aroace #asexual #aromantic #aspec #aro pride #ace pride #hot take #shouldn’t be a hot take but whatever #ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESPECTING A CHARACTER’S CANONICAL IDENTITY SHOULDN’T BE OPTIONAL #oops was that too hot? #I don’t care #yeah it’s a Bo Burnham reference

This is something of a sequel to my original essay on being loveless.

It's also a discussion of the ways love is wielded against allo-aros, the a-spec community's ongoing conflation of love and attraction, and the impact allosexual aromanticism has on my lovelessness.

Because too often, unfortunately, I see loveless aromantic identity communicated and celebrated so as to exclude me, and other allosexual aros, from it.

I hope that's something we can begin to change this Aro Week.

Why are asexual, aegosexual, and aromantic people so good at writing romance stories? Because sex and romance are fantasy fiction for us; just like there's magic in fantasy fiction about fairies and dragons, we know to add . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ magic . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ to the romance story.

Mephisto climbing his way to become one of my favorites characters after lesson 31:

#“Well then you should be able to understand why MC wants to go back home to the human world and how that must feel shouldn't you?” #******SOBBING********* #MEPH MEPH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH #and I wanna kiss you so bad rn ( in the most platonic way possible cause we aro here ) #-> me gently picking up mephisto and putting him in the “faves shelf” together with lou sat sol and beel #also him getting all worried over mc when the train made them fall was genuinely heart warming ( man acted like we were DYING ) #obey me #obey me nightbringer #omnb #omnb lesson 36 #obey me nightbringer spoilers #obey me mephistopheles #☙ no creativity for names ✾

"Friends don't act like this - they HAVE to be in love!" idk I think you're just a coward and boring.

#text #aro #aromantic #amatonormativity #like sorry you don't have enough braincells to imagine relationships beyond romance? hope you get well soon xoxo #like bro open up your mind get creative get imaginative #see the complexities of a relationship that doesn't have romance in it at all #i think you need to enter spore creature stage and start growing a brain #im being petty tonight lmao

“you’re on the shipping website you can’t be mad about people shipping characters” is a truly beyond shitty way to respond to people who are venting about people disrespecting their boundaries and laughing about it lmao. just say you wish aromantic people would stop existing where you have to see them and spoiling your fun and go.

#gav gab #not really about the comic i reblogged earlier itself idk the op or what they’ve said or if they’re aro #if they’ve directly asked people to stop making shipping comments or not etc #but it’s sure happened to me a lot #and to every other aro who doesn’t do shipping content i know #and the response to any attempt to talk about why that’s shitty and it sucks is always met with #DONT CARE DIDNT ASK ALSO THEYRE DATING HAHA #or like THIS IS THE SHIPPING WEBSITE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE #it’s unreal lmao. do you hear yourselves #the immediate panic of some shippers when asked to consider that maybe the entire world doesn’t revolve around them #and it’s entirely possible sometimes things are Not For Or About You #is truly incredible #being directly catered to by all of fandom and creative spaces sure makes people fragile huh

[arromantica-lucha]

people can headcannon an aro person as in a relationship the same way you can headcannon a straight person as gay, a cis person as trans, and an allo person as arospec. but if someone is doing it to "fix" that character then kill them

#obviously a joke #aromantic #arospec #aroace #aroallo #alloaro #aspec #queer #you can actually do whatever you want and it doesnt matter at all UNLESS you think its a 'waste' to make a character aromantic #as always you can disagree with me and i completely understand but to me only the intention can be harmful not the act #if you just want to explore a dynamic then thats cool thats how creative brains keep working #but absolutely dont fucking act like being aro is something that needs to be changed and isnt worthy of real characters #they would not be better off not aro. no one would be

I love romance. I want to write romance. I want to create little romance stories about my blorbos and ocs.

Yet at the same time, I am aromantic. I have no fucking idea how romance works. I don’t really know what’s realistic.

This is my eternal dilemma.

“I’m in love with you.”

The words weren’t meant to come out. They just did.

The villain managed to push the hero into a wall, pinning her steadily to the surface, and something in their closeness made the words tumble out without her usual filter. The hero’s staring at her like she just got stabbed—startled and hurt.

“What?”

It’s too late to take it back. “I’m– I’m in love with you. I think.”

The villain’s confession is met with stark silence. She can hear the whirring of rush hour traffic blitzing down the road behind her, louder than either of them dare to be. She can hear it so well that she momentarily thinks the hero might’ve stopped breathing.

“I can’t love you back,” the hero says into the quiet after a moment.

“No, I know, but—”

“No, no, I can’t.” The hero’s voice rises slightly in despair. “You don’t get it, [Villain], you never will—”

A nervous laugh escapes the villain accidentally. “No, I do get it, I don’t know why that came out.”

“Just shut up a second, please,” the hero cries, and the villain backs off slightly in surprise. “It’s not because of what you think. You– I think you’re genuinely really nice. I do. Redeemable, even. I just physically can’t.”

The villain frowns slightly, completely lost as to what she’s getting at. “So it’s… not a difference in morality?”

The hero snorts, almost amused. “No, it’s not that.” She heaves a deep breath, equally tired and anxious. Her eyes lower to the ground at her feet. “I don’t like people. I’m aromantic. It’s not just you.”

Her confession doesn’t get a reply for a moment. When she finally finds the courage to glance at the villain she’s staring past her, the slightest crease in her brow. “Okay…” she says slowly after a moment, and the hero feels like admitting anything was the wrong choice. “So you don’t… date people.”

How is she meant to explain this to someone who doesn’t understand? “Well, I do, but I always want to make sure people know what to expect from me. I like doing the relationship stuff but I don’t get feelings beyond, like, intense affection.”

The villain lights up slightly. “So you would theoretically go on a date with me?”

The hero can’t help but laugh. “Yeah, I guess.”

Her nemesis nods quickly, clearing her throat like she’s about to monologue like she always does. “Okay, then, [Hero],” she opens dramatically, “I was hoping I could take you out sometime. Beyond taking you out in dark alleyways, at least.”

The hero hums like she’s thinking, but a slight, traitorous smile cracks on her face. “I’d like that.”
