Asexual Pride - Blog Posts
How about instead of "Netflix and chill," we share our artwork with each other and talk about our favorite books/shows/anime/movies/etc?
Yeah, that sounds a lot more fun!
Here’s day 5 of trying to make pride art every day for pride month!
Today we have; sapphire and ruby!
And in honor of aromantic visibility day…
Peridot! In all her aroace chaotic glory!

Asexuality is a spectrum. No two asexuals are the same 🖤🩶🤍💜
of course it is? why would it not be?
Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.
I'm trying to prove something.

I’m a day late but sai crashed last night just after I was done with the sketch and I did not feel like drawing it again at that moment.
Ace pride day was yesterday! And so I felt like drawing all my Asexual ocs. We got:
Simone - Aromantic Asexual
Sinensis - Panromantic Asexual
Charon - Demiromantic Asexual
Jo - Demiromantic Asexual (with a bonus pin of the demi girl flag! cause Jo is a demi girl)
I hope ya'all had a good ace pride day! (Oh I almost forgot! Jo uses they/them; Sinensis and Charon use he/him; and Simone uses she/her)
Arthuriana has so many major aspec characters, and it’s fabulous
Here are a few characters who I interpret as aspec:
Dinadan!!! He is an absolute aroace icon. In a source whose name has slipped my mind, Isolde comments on how he ought to be in a relationship and his reaction is something along the lines of, “Yeah, hard pass. How’s that working out for you, by the way?” (Read it with sarcasm).
Galahad, Bors, and the Grail Heroine all seem quite happy about the eternal chastity thing. None of them have any close calls with demon ladies, unlike poor Percival, the one allo person in the friend group. (Yes, Bors has a son, but a cursed ring was involved there, which is why as much as I do not stand Bors’ Morte misogyny, I will always pity him).
Kay is very rarely ascribed romantic relationships, and in one Welsh source, his father prophesies that Kay’s heart will be “eternally cold”, which could be interpreted as never enflamed by love.
Any others who come to mind?
alright then, were doing this

You find a magical bow and arrow—what/who do you aim for, and what happens when you hit your mark?
I shoot the barrier between time and space so that when it breaks, not only will you be able to cross to fictional dimensions, but it will also free me from my fear of time

Happy Ace Week!
I'm Ace! Who else is?
Re-post!

as an asexual who likes to imagine sex but doesnt actually like having sex, sometimes it just feels like sex isnt real but i wish it was. and post
I was around 16 and was watching a collab between Rowan Ellis and Alice Oseman in promotion of Loveless' release. They were going over common misconceptions about asexuality and sharing personal experiences, and it was the first time I had ever really learned anything about the label. Alice was sharing bits of her experience as an ace/aro person and I found myself relating a bit too well. That video sent me down a rabbit hole of other wonderful content creators, including the living legend Yasmin Benoit herself, and it's to them that I credit my aroace awakening.
In honor of pride🏳️🌈
Let's talk about our gay/queer awakening moments!
Mine was when I was like 16 scrolling through tumblr and saw a joke that said something like "If you used to make all your sims gay then you're queer now" and that just hit me like a ton of bricks lol
Also when Jade started counting in "Take a Hint" on Victorious 🥵
What's yours?
Happy Ace Week 💜 Here's your regularly scheduled reminder that asexual people belong in the queer community because WE. ARE. QUEER!
If you like my lil ace bunnies, I have them as stickers in my shop!
Being Ace is Not a Choice Asexuality ≠ Celibacy! Many Aces TRY to feel attraction despite being unable. This can make them feel broken, wrong, and confused. It can take young Aces many years of suffering before they finally figure out that their sexuality just works differently from others. Being Ace is Not Just Low Libido Aces have a range of libidos. Many have a low libido and abstain from sex, but others have high libidos and enjoy sex for a number of reasons. Libido is your sex drive; the urge to partake in sexual activities. This urge is separate from attraction, which is WHO you feel sexual desire for. Aces are Not Heterosexual Heterosexuality = “attraction to the opposite sex”. Since Aces do not feel attraction to ANY gender or sex, they don’t fall under this definition. This point requires some nuance because many Ace sub-labels (such as Demisexual) CAN experience attraction in a limited or fluctuating capacity. However, the way that these labels experience sexuality still falls outside of what heterosexual society deems as “normal” attraction and can cause compatibility issues in relationships with non-Aces. That being said, some Aces still choose to identify with the Heterosexual label if it resonates with them. You can be both Heterosexual AND Ace, but being Ace is not the same as being Heterosexual! Discrimination/Struggle Happens Many people claim that Aces do not experience any discrimination and thus they don't belong in the queer community. This couldn't be further from the truth. Corrective assault, “it’s just a phase,” getting called mentally/physically ill, “you haven’t met the right person yet” are just a few examples. On top of the blatant discrimination listed above, Aces also deal with other struggles in our very sexual society, particularly when seeking romantic relationships. Aces who are sex-repulsed struggle to keep their partners satisfied in bed. Likewise, non-Ace partners often feel rejected and uncomfortable with the notion that Aces don't find them attractive. This disappointment from their partners can weigh heavily on Aces and make them feel broken/wrong.
Thank you for coming to my Ace talk hehehe. If you're Ace I hope you feel validated. If you're not, I hope you learned something!

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SEXUALIZED I CAN'T EVEN EAT A BANANA ANYMORE
what's sad about being asexual and having three siblings is that i can't use the "the bloodline ends with me" joke to come out on our mum.

REBLOG IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES
LIKE IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS DON’T BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES
what’s the point of the “aro and ace ppl aren’t oppressed!!” card to exclude us?
like first of all, aros and aces ARE oppressed in such an amatonormative world, but even if we weren’t, isn’t it the biggest goal of the lgbtq+ community to not be oppressed one day? we want a world where gay and lesbian people are no longer oppressed, which is a great thing, but when that happens, are we suddenly going to drop them from the community just because they “aren’t oppressed anymore”?
since when has oppression played a part in whether or not someone is queer?? trans women tend to get more shit than trans men even though both are severely oppressed, so are the former somehow more queer than the latter? last time i checked, the answer was, and still is, no...
if you aren’t allocishet, then you can consider yourself a member of the lgbtq+ community; not because of the oppression you face, but because you deviate from the allonormative, amatonormative, monormative, cisnormative, or heteronormative structures of society. period
Quick rant but im sure other people can relate. To everyone who gets weirded out or confused by Asexuals.. Why tf does our sex life and sexuality concern you? We told you we don't feel sexual attraction or want to have sex, and you respond with "Well how do you know if you've never tried it?". Shut your fucking mouth, okay?🖤 We are not your little sexual objects, and on that matter, stop fetishizing the fact that most of us are virgins because of our preference. Ive dealt with men before who i told i was Asexual to, they only kept asking and bringing up my asexuality like it bothered them, and kept trying to pressure me. Quick tip from Mama, if you keep acting like someone's hatred or disinterest in sex bothers you...its pretty fucking clear you only want to get in their pants, and you have no respect for them as a human being with their own preferences and boundaries. Our sex life should **NOT** concern you. It's our buisness, and ours only. Its the same if i went up to you and said "Hey how often do you like to get pounded?" its weird. So don't ask/tell us: "They must've been bad in bed, i can change your mind." ,"How do you know if you've never had sex before?", "Oh are you a R@pe victim?", " But you've never been intimate before", "One night with me", "Have you even ever had sex before?" "Then how are you going to have children?" (I swear its like some people don't know what adoption is..). In no circumstance are these ANY appropriate things to say to anyone at that matter. Keep in mind, at the time when i first got comfortable coming out as an Asexual i was FOURTEEN. And i got asked these things. You were concerned about a MINOR'S... Sex life. Pretty fucking creepy. Not only that but i remember a conversation going exactly like this with a my aunt's friend who keep in mind is a 46 year old woman, asking a 14 year old this: Her: "Holy shit...I had to take a double glance because you are so beautiful. Looks like you came straight out of a vampire movie girl." Me: "oh thank you!" Her: bet you get the boys all riled up? Me: "Oh i swing more towards girls actually.." Her: "Oh thats hot, so do I.. How many women have you slept with?" Me: "...um. Im..Asexual, i haven't..like.." Her: "...so you've never had sex? Then how do you know?"
At that point my mom had to literally interrupt the conversation, because an adult should under no circumstance say that to a 14 year old. Now i don't know if she was trying to groom me, or if she was just being fucking weird. But before any homophobes talk shit because it was a woman saying this to a child, this has happened to me with BOTH men and women. People in general... Make me sick. So to anyone who is creepy like that, Fuck you.
Stay safe out there loves 🖤
