oh-good:

It’s a amazing, whenever people talk about their asexuality they’re told it’s their Romantic Orientation that truly matters, and when people talk about their aromanticism they’re told it’s their Sexual Orientation that matters. What they’re really saying is that the A aspect of a person doesn’t matter. Who we are doesn’t matter. We are what they say we should be and our place is where they decide it is.

My asexuality is not a modifier, it is the most prevalent part of my orientation. Do not tell aces or aros that those aspects of their identity are just modifiers to the other part. If you are not ace/aro you have no business defining those orientations, and even if you are ace/aro you have no business defining other people’s identities for them. Your asexuality may be a modifier for your romantic orientation but it may not be the same for others. Stop telling other people how to identify.

manicfemme:

s/o to all the demisexuals who:

~are too afraid to come out

~are out and proud

~hear “oh everyone is like that!”

~are laughed at/made the punchline of a joke

~feel unsafe in the queer community

~get asked if demisexuality is really a thing

basically just s/o to all demisexuals!

acesthetic-of-hearts:

I like you.
The idea of holding your hand gives me butterflies.
Your hugs are amazing, I’d like them all the time.
The thought of kissing you gently makes me blush.

I’d like to maybe ask you out.

Because I like you.
Your personality.
How we share interests.
And I think we’d be good together.

But I’m terrified of it all.

Because what if you don’t accept that I’m asexual.
What if we start dating but then you think I’m leading you on.
Or worse, what if you think you can change me and force me into a situation I’m uncomfortable with.

What if we’re just not compatible as a couple because I’m ace and you’re not?

I don’t want to lose you as a friend because of that.
But at the same time, I don’t want to be just friends with you.
Because I like you.
I really like you.
But just not sexually.

Books by ace-spectrum authors with ace-spectrum main characters

asexual-representation:

When it comes to asexual representation in books, I’m most
interested in reading ace main characters written by ace authors. Ace side
characters are always great, but I really love getting the ace character’s
point of view, and I believe authors who are ace themselves are best equipped
to pull that off realistically. Thinking about this, I ended up making the
following list of all the books/series I could find that have an ace-spec MC
(or at least a point-of-view character) and were written by an ace-spec author.
Click the links for more info and discussion. If you know of any I missed, I’d
love to hear about them!

I’m
also posting this list on a static page, and I’ll be updating it there as I
find more books/more are written.
