Asexual Aromantic - Blog Posts

When I was twelve or thirteen and thought I was bisexual, I started reading Tomura Shigaraki x readers, but stopped because I realised I just wanted to hang out with him and be his friend instead of be his gf, and that these fics were twisting his character in my mind. That probably should have been a sign of my aromanticism and asexuality, but no, I wouldn’t figure it out for a while.

At school we had yearly letters that we would write to ourselves, and in one from when I was perhaps fourteen, I wrote something akin to ‘no crushes yet, but I’m hopeful’. Reading that when I graduated and got the letters back was fun, I enjoyed laughing at myself.

shoutout to nine-year-old me who was very much aroace but didnt know the difference between hyperfixating on a character and having a crush on them so for the next few years i told everyone that the only crush i ever had was on lord voldemort

I made my first full(?) drawing on procreate today :DD

I’ve been using ibispaint for like 3 years so it took a while to get used to

here’s another thing I made of my oc!!

This makes sense, considering how only about 1-2% of the population identify as aroace. The thing is tho, we are out there! I’ve met multiple people through pride events and other things in my life.

aroace people really said "the closet? no no no, i'm gonna hide in caves, in the woods and even underneath rocks, i'm gonna be the best damn hide and seek player in the world" because i have yet to find one aroace person in real life

people:

me, a young aromantic:

I love how I started out writing a comic book, while thinking I must be cis and pan, and now that I’m nearing the end of it, I’m trans, non-binary, and aroace. Granted, before that I thought I was cishet, and kinda just denying way too many fucking things about myself. Upon admitting them through storytelling, I somehow feel much much gayer. This is probably because I feel more comfortable in my skin now. Thank you for my TEDTalk.

No, you misunderstood. When I said I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction I wasn’t complaining, I was bragging.

Music artists made the best melody and beat known to man only to make the whole song about sex.
