Click for quality!

Headcanoning Max as aroace and Maggie as Lithromantic. I think Max might be hesitantly wonder if he's aromantic for a while but be like "BUT I was in quarantine my whole life till now so MAybE I hAVen't FoUND thE RIghT PeRsoN"

But no in actuality he's just aroace regardless of the quarantine

And then Lithromantic: "A lithromantic person feels romantic love toward others but doesn't want those feelings reciprocated" or other definitions will be along those lines (quote from grindr)

I think another orientation that could fit Maggie is I think the term is Frayromantic, where you can feel romantic attraction to someone at first and it fades over time when you get to know them

Marissa Meyer is likely gonna go the romantic route for these two if/once the series gets an extra book. Seeing as Maggie has a crush on Max from what has been written at the end of Supernova and in Cinder's Adventure (which isn't canon but it's probably hints of what's to come). So. Tsudere Maggie. Not great, marginally different from Nodrian in my opinion. but whatever is written next for Maggie and Max, I'll pick it apart, take what I want for my platonic headcanons, and leave the rest for the shippers

While I'm here at the end of Aromantic Awareness Week I'll remind you all that we NEED to keep signing petitions, emailing and calling our representatives to STOP the Kosa bill from being passed!! It will cause massive censorship on the Internet and affect EVERYONE.

This post and this post have good links that you can use and most of these will take only a couple minutes if not less!

I know I say this on a post to a pretty small fandom on Tumblr from what I've seen but hopefully it'll still reach people

#i found slightly mixed results for lithromantic flag so i included the acespec and arospec to be safe #the red one seems to be acespec and much more common to be used and i saw some things label it as arospec #maybe an umbrella thing or convenience #doesnt really matter if maggie is just arospec or both ace & aro so i dont mind includinh both #renegades trilogy #renegades fandom #aromantic awareness week #arospec #aromantic awareness week 2024 #aromantic week #aromantic #lithromantic #maggie white #evie artino #max everhart #trinket duo #forgotten duo #MDN art tag #my art #maggie & max

This one is arguably very personal because I have no idea if other aros feel the same – but I've seen too many stories about a character being rejected where the person doing the rejecting is (accidentally or not) implied to be some sort of "bad guy" or "the one who has it easier", so I guess I had an itch to show my side.

Aromantic people and alloromantic people have such different views on what "true love" is that it's not about one or the other being "in the wrong" – it's just one big compatibility issue. All I can say is – as an aromantic, being confessed to romantically IS what leaves me heartbroken, for such reasons. Hopefully there will be a broader understanding of this in the future.

I wish a very happy aromantic spectrum awareness week to everyone on the aromantic spectrum! To me aromanticism is an orientation, a life philosophy, a political stance and a big fuck you to heteronormative and amatonormative society and I think that's beautiful! So shout-out to all aros, your experiences are worth sharing and your aromanticism should be celebrated!

I feel like some people within the aspec community need to check themselves for aphobia like it's seriously concerning. I'm not just talking about internalized aphobia btw, I'm also talking about straight up aphobia against other members of the community.

If you're ace, that does not mean you are immune to being arophobic. Same goes if you're aro, you are not immune to being acephobic.

If you're aroace, you could also be aphobic without it necessarily being what could be considered as "internalized" (e.g. being aphobic to a favorable aroace when you're repulsed, being aphobic to aroaces who are non-partnering when you're partnering, being aphobic to loveless aros when you aren't loveless or lovequeer aros when you aren't lovequeer, etc. etc.).

That's not even talking about the amatonormativity in the community either.

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! 💚🤍🖤 Celebrated the week after Valentine's Day, ASAW is a great time to learn more about aromantic identities and experiences, as well as the unique challenges aromantic individuals face.

Here's some basic information as well as links to further resources.

What is 'Aromantic' (Aro)?

Aromantic describes people who experience little to no romantic attraction, or whose experience of romance is disconnected from normative societal expectations, due to feeling repulsed by romance, or being uninterested in romantic relationships.

They may or may not experience other types of attraction and many have any sexual orientation

Aro is a shorthand for aromantic that is also commonly used as an umbrella term for people on the aromantic spectrum

Aroace refers to someone who is on both the aromantic spectrum and the asexual spectrum

The Aromantic Spectrum

While some aromantic people feel no romantic attraction at all, some people feel it rarely, experience it only under certain conditions, have trouble distinguishing between romantic and other types of attraction, or have some other pattern of attraction that doesn't fit the norm.

There are many different terms for these different patterns of attraction, but all fit under the broader term aromantic spectrum.

Other Important Terms

Demiromantic - describes a person who only experiences romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection beforehand.

Grayromantic (gray aromantic) - describes a person who feels romantic attraction very rarely, weakly, unreliably or gains/loses attraction in unusual or unknown circumstances.

Queerplantonic Relationship (QPR) - relationships that don't fit into the categories of what is traditionally considered to be a friendship or a romantic relationship. They many or many not be sexual, involve living together, raising children, shared finances & life decisions, etc.

About ASAW

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (ASAW) is a week meant to spread awareness and acceptance of aromantic spectrum identities and the issues they face, as well as a chance for the community to celebrate its own experiences and existence.

ASAW generally occurs the first full week following Valentine's Day; it began in large part as a way for those in the aromantic community who had difficulty finding space for their experiences in such a universally romanticized event to come together and celebrate their own unique experiences.
