Let’s Talk About The Fabulous Aromantics Out There

reaction pics everyone will still understand even with the text removed

I am an aroace person who knows that if they could, they would have the passion to romantically love enough for a million people.

Gods fear what I would be able to do if I could romantically love.

It would be stronger then the suns, stronger than the seas and the stars.

So I spend my days alone knowing if I could, I would love so hard the world would buckle under the weight of my sheer will.

So, the next time you think of yourself as an alien, for not loving, don’t.

Your romantic love would be too strong to let exist in the world.

You are no less human then they are. You just would love too strong for the world to withstand.

Monokuma: "No man can defeat the killing game!"

Shuichi, a confused genderfluid dude who doesn’t remember how a sword got in his hand: "Uh, oh. Nobody told me that. Uh, can you check back tomorrow? Can we... can we reschedule? I’m not really... like I might be a different gender this evening. Does seven o’ clock work for you? It might... be different then."

I’ve got another allistic ND person asking me if it’s okay for them to stim.

These questions break my heart, because so many of them seem to be told that it’s an autistic-only thing, that their stimming is somehow disrespectful to autistics. So many of them ask in fear and anxiety, needing the resources offered by general stim spaces or the use of stim toys, yet so afraid of offending me because they’re not autistic.

All I see is an ableist message of folks (usually allistic themselves) telling allistic ND folks that they shouldn’t behave or move like autistics. That they’re denying ND people access to tools, aids and behaviours that might help improve their lives. That they’re making the world less safe for me to stim in public by insisting that stimming remain shoved in the box marked “autistic”, consequently denying me normalisation and acceptance in wider society. That they’re, in the end, just using my diagnosis to justify their ableism.

It is in fact disrespectful to me, as an autistic, to tell an allistic ND and/or disabled person they are not allowed to stim. It is the direct inverse of the respect and support I need from allistic society, and I am tired, so tired, of the harm it does to allistic ND and/or disabled folks who need to, and have every right to, stim.

In 2018, I want to see the making of a world where no disabled and/or ND person ever feels like they need to ask permission of an autistic to stim, use stim toys and interact with general stim communities.

In 2018, I want to see allistics stop making comments on the matter of who has the right to stim.

Because this autistic, and most autistics, will tell you: stimming is for anyone who needs it.

I’m genuinely surprised that no culprit in V3 thought to murder the detective, who everyone knows is a detective, who keeps leading the class to the real culprit in the trials, and who isn’t nearly as intimidating as Kyoko.

The ahoge plot armor is strong.

who broke it?

The way that exclusionists treat ace and aro people often reminds me of how the average person would treat me when I started being open as non-binary. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, we are not enemies. Our experiences do not oppose each other, they are intertwined. If you’re ace, if you’re aromantic, if you’re any variation thereupon; your home is here. You belong here, too. You are beautiful, and powerful; and you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You are a valued part of this community.

oriented aroaces and what i associate with them:

aroace lesbians: a hug’s warmth, the crackling of fire, the way boots sink into fresh snow, crystal formations growing upon rocks

gay aroaces: silken fabrics, the scent of a garden in full bloom, a seashell’s song, the feeling of cold stone under bare skin

bi aroaces: neon lights, crickets chirping in the night, a crisp forest breeze, scenery reflected in water as if a mirror 

pan aroaces: the scent of bubblegum, sunglasses, shade in a hot summer day, wildlife rustling within a tree’s branches

catra things idk

glimmer: “so i looked it up, and having an animal companion technically qualifies you as a princess.” catra: “i will literally eat your entire face.” 

the princesses have to start the whole “teach the horde kid how to be a person” process all over again 

catra: “wtf is a brunch?” 

adora: “it’s a part of a tree, catra.” 

scorpia: “wait, i thought it’s something you eat.”

adora: “you can eat tree branches!?!”

bow has an entire album filled with photos of catra doing cute cat things and has a will prepared in case she ever finds out he has it. adora contributes most of the content. 

perfuma goes around etheria saying how great a meditation buddy catra is but catra doesn’t have the heart to tell her that she’s just napping the whole time 

adora spread a accurate rumor that catra was the little spoon and everyone gave her so much shit for it she went off the grid with melog for two whole days. 

catra brainstorms with adora on how to get mermista to warm up to her after the whole salineas thing, and what eventually does it is helping mermista take down the hit man who’s been stalking sea hawk for like three weeks.

mermista: “she’s like…really good at setting things on fire.” 

adora: “so i’m chaperoning all of your friend dates ok?” 

catra has a whole wall in her closet devoted to finding out netossa’s weakness because she won’t let the spray bottle incident go 

an entire princess alliance meeting was devoted to deciding whether catra should grow her hair out again and it got so ugly they had to throw the minutes out. 

afterwards, catra asks melog how hard it would be to create an illusion that would make her look bald for the next meeting

the only princess that catra is scared of is frosta and she will take that shit to her grave 

They’re coming after us now
