Aroace people are aromantic too, please remember that

Tags :

thank you for saying this it's bc of this i feel closer to the asexual community even when i labelled myself as aromantic first me being ace does not and cannot erase my aro-ness i should honestly call myself aromantic because my aro-ness is more definite and unwavering than my ace-ness i've seen that most people say that 'x is a universal aro thing/experience' and forget that aroaces exist i get that aroallos have different experiences and i 100% respect that and understand that they need their own posts but a lot of those 'x is a universal aro experience/thing' posts somehow forget that aroaces can relate to the aromantic part as well on the other hand a lot of posts that focus on universal asexual things/experiences do include at least one aroace related tag lgbtq lgbt aroace aromantic asexual aromantic asexual aro ace aromanticism asexuality that's so inducore

Dark academia but instead of wearing blazers and reading classic novels, I’m wearing my pajamas and reading fanfiction til 4 am

Tags :

i really wish i could achieve the regular dark academia aesthetic but i like this one as well. mainly because it's the only one that is poss tbh i don't think i could even wear all those blazers and jumpers; the indian sun would boil me alive the only thing i have that's related to dark academia is a few classic books i like to read from time to time and knowing a lot of useless facts about obscure subjects chaotic academia dark academia fanfiction ao3 gifted kid burnout burnt out gifted kid that's so inducore
