Yknow The Thing With Being Aroace Is That Sometimes People Don't Recognise That As Queer. I Be Talking

Yknow the thing with being Aroace is that sometimes people don't recognise that as queer. I be talking with some acquaintances and they ask if I have a boyfriend/if me and X are together. My response is usually "No, I'm Aroace and not interested in relationships" and then I see them in a week and they ask the same question again.

It's frustrating, that just because I'm not gay/lesbian/bi/pan that my identity can be brushed off like it doesn't matter, that just because I'm not the aforementioned identities I'm not queer.

Don't send me condolences for being Aroace, I'm not broken or in the wrong for being aspec, that's just who I am. I won't "find the right one" because I'm a romance repulsed Aroace person.

That's why aspec representation is so important, so that people like those can learn that aspec identities ARE valid and DESERVE respect! The A doesn't stand for ally!

(no hate to gay/lesbian/bi/pan folks, dw :] )

I freaking love Vinnie from Ramshackle. The charisma. The confidence. She's like a wolf protecting her pack. I feel like she'd burn down an entire city if it meant protecting her friends. And she has a "I am the manager" line. My favorite character, honestly.

Something I touched up from a whiiiile ago in celebration of pride this year lmao

I also took this as an opportunity to add the grey in her hair this time around because I forgot to add it when i first shared this AAAAH

Polites was the therapist friend before therapy was a thing.
