I’ve noticed a lot of hate in the asexual and aromantic tags lately. So here’s the deal. Reblog this if you are anywhere on the a-spec. Put your orientation in the tags, and you’ll get a special message in your inbox :)

Orientation Bunnies!

Apologies as I haven’t included all orientations. I might try and do any not included here in the future!

They are all available HERE on Redbubble, and over time I will add more of them to the collection on there, as well as upload them.

lithromantic problems

Just don’t love me back

Drawn by my friend @mymuseisanidiot

Based off a conversation I had with a friend one evening while walking home together through the neighborhood with only the streetlights to illuminate our way. She was asking me how I found out about my various orientations but there wasn’t much for me to say. I didn’t really question my lack of romantic and sexual attraction before. Finding out that I am genderfluid was something I stumbled across by accident while doodling. There was not big revelation and I didn’t quite know how to tell her that. 

I’ve also been trying to figure out a way to express the feeling of not feeling anything and suddenly leaving your body and reality. I’m not quite certain if that’s dissociation, but it feels close. 

for valentines day i’m gonna hand our cards that say “i’m aromantic and i’m going to profit off the candy sales tomorrow”

The Love Poem of an Akoiromantic

He’s not looking back at me,

His eyes clouded by his dreams,

His heart thumps for his true love,

His body swaying with hot blood,

And damn, he’s so pretty,

And God, so is she,

Watching them is like watching the stars,

Watching them—knowing who they are,

It makes me ache with fondness,

It makes me want to prolong this,

And so long as they don’t look back at me,

So long as they don’t see,

So long as I can have my own dreams,

I’m fine,

Yeah, I’m fine,

Don’t believe me?

Can’t conceive me?

That’s fine, too,

I can tolerate you,

Someone’s got to

Be the first to tell the truth,

I’m fine

Feeling affection without attention,

I’m fine

Standing in the distance, being your reflection

I’m fine,

If you let it be and do not see—let us dream separately

Then I’m fine

Don’t ruin this for me, I’m fine

Please don’t look back at me, I’m fine

God, if either one of them sees…

I’ll be forced to grieve for the dream

So, I was randomly inspired today to write a quick poem about akoiromantic/lithromantic affection (I personally prefer the “akoi” label, but whatever). There’s also some polyromance in there–kind of, in a way.  Akoipoly??? Lithpoly????

Anyway, this poem is actually about a content akoiromantic, which I haven’t heard a lot about. I’ve been viewing this as a song (hence all the “I’m fine”s in between the lines), but I’m musically challenged, so I don’t know what beat/rhythm you would sing this to. Meh, oh well.

Hope you guys like it. :D

Qpr’s come in all different shapes, sizes and ways!

It may be straight or really really gay!

Or also any orientation in between!

Affection may or may not be seen!

Maybe kissing, hugging, or none of the above!

With or without romantic or platonic love! 

Qpr’s are customized and up to you!

Qpr’s are amazing through and through!

I’m too Aro for this

Hello!

I’m relatively new to the community but have been seeing seemingly everywhere I look a certain negativity when it comes to lith/akoi romanticism/sexuality. Because it’s kinda new on the scene there’s no exemplar way to handle being lith, there’s no happy ending to aspire to. This means that it can be difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel, or at least that’s what I’ve found. But positivity is key always, and I’m determined that we will just have to go out and make our own happy endings. This blog is here to remind you of that on days when it doesn’t seem very likely, because we all have those. It going to be okay.

Reblog if you identify as lithromantic or lithsexual. I need more of y'all on my dash!

would anyone be interested in a podcast called ‘aro diaries’ where i talk about different aspects of being aro weekly

YES PLEASE!!!

i love the concept of living platonically (or not) with a bunch of pals instead of getting married…. like tht sounds so much kinder than spending my life with a person i must devote myself to. i’d rather live in gentle love than romantic love
