kids these days don’t even wanna work anymore (look through every single aromantic-related entry of the LGBTQIA+ wiki until they finally find one specific word that encapsulates their entire relationship with romantic attraction)

#anyways yea now i got the kind of autism where i can look at anybody’s vaguely non-conventional experience with gender sex &/or attraction #and give them one very specific word to describe it that maybe one or two people other than me will understand #why couldnt i have the math autism instead #aromantic spectrum #aromanticism #aromanitc #aromance #aromantic #aromantism #aro

thinking about making a survey that asks any aspec people how their ace/aro-ness interacts with their thoughts and feelings surrounding sex and romance and all that good stuff. if that already exists, can someone send me that link? and if not,,, keep an eye out i guess?

There's a poll going around asking people if it's "alloaro" or "aroallo" and it lets aroaces specifically answer that question and it really rubs me the wrong way.

Firstly, the only ones who should get a say in OUR label is alloaros. We are the only voice who matters in that debate and the fact that aroaces are included in it makes me furious.

Secondly, I really hate that the community is leaning towards "aroallo" instead of alloaro. Someone in the replies of that poll put my thoughts into words pretty well. Linguistically, if you un-shorten the words "alloaro" and "aroallo" the second word in that label is the noun with the first one becoming an adjective.

"An aromantic allosexual" and "an allosexual aromantic"

In alloaro, the adjective is allosexual applied to aromantic.

In aroallo, the adjective is aromantic applied to allosexual.

To me, there's a huge difference in those two terms.

There's also the fact that alloaro came first. We were alloaros long before people started switching it up. And our community of alloaros sparked the beginning of the use of "alloace" for aces. (Whole different topic for another day)

But now... People are insisting that it's "aroallo" but aces still get "alloace" why is that?

Maybe it's not that deep, idk. I still don't like it.

#i am an alloaro not an aroallo and i want to make that very clear #aromantic #alloaro #aro #arospec #aspec #aroallo #aromanticism #alloarophobia #aromantic spectrum

did anyone else have a cringy phase where they just realized they're aro/ace so they become so aggressively 'anti-love' to the point they were annoying. I remember rolling my eyes everytime someone would try to ship two characters together and yes I would go "noooo can't they just be friends :(" Anyways now I ship two characters who even so much as glance at each other I love shipping I love making ship fanart yaoi yaoi yuri yaoi

When I was in high school my friends and I were helping our teacher sort a new display for the wall and the theme was love and we all had to write on a postcard what we thought love is and I legit wrote ‘love is foreign’ and it took me 28 years to realise I was aromantic hahahahah

thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'

thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet

thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE

thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band

thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better

thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography

thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart

thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.

thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.

thinking about Lovejoy.

People treat characters being AroAce like they're being forced to eat vegetables despite the fact that a character being aspec instantly makes them 300% more cool and interesting.

I know it's kinda selfish, but can I have more asexual charactes that aren't aromantic? One who stands up and says that you can love without sex, and that they deserve love without having to engaging in something they prefer not to?

Also a aromantic character that isn't asexual? One who doesn't feel guilt about needing and wanting people, but not seeking a romantic relationship with them? One that is open and proud, and in no way ashamed for their lack of love and need of sex?

Please?

Edit: I realize some aroace people got frustrated at this post due to having next to no representation already, and I admit it was blind of me to phrase it how I did.

I was (unfairly) annoyed when I made this post because I kept seeing people write ace characters I really like to be aro as well. (Which is more then fine to do btw!)

This tumblr dwelling feline was a salty bean who didn't think anyone would see this.

Thank you to everyone who gave recommendations in the comments!

And please don't start arguments.
