Aroace Experience - Tumblr Posts
I was goin to pull this on an aro or ace culture inbox, but I stopped n said “nam, too intersectional to put in only one space” so I'm typin this all to post here now.
Btw, content warning for romance and sex mentions.
All this patifaria started yesterday, when the school general (cuz I study in a civica-military school, so we got a general) made me n my classmates watch a movie (I think it was “the brightest places”, “the bright places”, smthn like that. I forgot even the portuguese version of that name, for y'all to have an idea) for yellow september/suicide prevention month.
Until the fateful moment I'll talk about later, all right; it was really selling me that it was about awareness for suicide, with all that setting in yellow, and the boy savin the girl from jumpin off the bridge, n tal & tal & tal. Aí, when I think it's a no: unsolicited romance.... *Sigh.*
It was horrible, becuz I didn't want no romance bullshit, and to get it worse these two little pieces of shit were kissin in a french kiss. “But Angelle! How did you know their kiss was more intimate if your coward ass was turning your face around becuz you was cringing so bad?” ......The 5th grader spirit of my class didn't let that shit slide. Nuh-uh, their immature asses would not be seeing a fuckin tongue kiss and be normal about that. If they did that, that would never be a brazilian school. Not even in a thousand years.
And the worst wasn't even that, it was the fact that this movie had a sex scene two millimeters of minutes later.
Now imagine: you. In an auditorium. Full, IMPISTIATED! Of brazilian middle and high schoolers, with the maturity of 5th grade children... And all of the sudden: The general pauses the movie to skip the scene, and the next thing you know is that the female protagonist is making a pleasure face on the fuckin screen...
Only God... Only God and anyone who went through somethin like this knows the embarrassment I felt at this very fuckin second, and I cannot understand how these niggas choose to play a movie like that to a bunch of hormonal teenagers (n not hormonal in the sexual sense, I mean it in the “shrimp head” way!). At least they skipped that scene, WHICH IS THE BARE MINIMUM!
Enfim, resumin the opera, I got no classes for the second half of the day, I got slapped with unwanted allorose shit, and of break, the ending was weak asf, bcs I still don't know if that nigga killed himself of if it was an accident.
I just get leñed, huh, I deserve it.... 🤦🏽♀️
Thankyou for sharing your experience! I don't get why we cant value our friends as highly as other relationships!
You know, when I used to listen to music when I was little I used to think, “huh, why do most artists only sing about romance and sex? You could sing about anything! If I was an artist I would want to focus on platonic relationships”
Probably was a sign that I’m AroAce (and now my writing and art gravitates around those experiences) 🧡💛🤍🩵💙
Calling the Queer community! Especially the AroAce!
I have made an animatic based on an AroAce character of mine! I want to make a novel or comic on this premise, and to explore the broad AroAce umbrella and amornormativity 🩷
I would really appreciate any support! I love this community and want to make content that increases Aroace representation 🩷
