Making a poll that caters to one of my overly-specific niches. Had to redo it because I accidentally put "aromantic" instead of "alloromantic" on the first one 😂🤦♀️
Aroallo joy exists and you deserve to feel it

16. do you have any arospec OCs, if so tell us about them?
I do! I have Addie, she is alloaro and a twin to Arthur who is Demiromantic. I started drawing/ writing them when I was around 12, so they grew up with me lol. I love them!
19. Are you allosexual, if so what’s your sexual orientation?
I am, I’m pansexual!
20. if you fall under one of the arospec umbrella labels, which ones do you use and can you define them for us?
I tend to lean toward alloaro, allosexual aromantic, or really just the main term of aromantic. Aro is not experiencing romantic attraction! Alloaro is experiencing sexual attraction without romantic attraction, to me at least!
Thank you for asking!

this is a message for everyone who is 22. if you’re 22 please stop worrying. take a deep breath eat a bagel maybe. everything that feels impossible is going to work itself out. have a great day
do u have a message for 25 year olds
uhhhhh 2 bagels?
I'm 32. When I was in my early twenties, I overheard a pair of 50ish year old women talking about the ideal age to stay at permanently. One said, "Everyone says 25. I wouldn't want to be in my twenties forever. Everything is hard and you get upset too easily."
Hearing her say that helped me so much. I thought about it countless times. Every time things felt overwhelming, I remembered what she said. The words of this total stranger, who wasn't even talking directly to me, brought me a lot of comfort, so I hope they can help you, too.
“Tell me more”
I headcanon Mabel as being a walking encyclopedia of all lgbt+ words. 🌈
LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS!!
Shout out to gay people who are aromantic. Shout out to trans people who are aromantic. Shout out to asexual aromantics. Shout out to allosexual aromantics. Shout out to lesbain aromantics. Shout out to bisexual aromantics. Shout out to arospecs. Shout out to people who say queer when they mean aromantic because its easier to explain. Shout out to aplatonic aromantics.
Being aromantic is great.

society: you have to define your sexual attraction
alloaros: no, I’m just allo
society: you have have to use the SAM
non-SAM aros: no, I’m just aro
society: you have to feel some type of love
loveless aros: no, love isn’t universal
society: you have to fit my understanding of an aro person
aros: no, we don’t
