Ace Positivity - Blog Posts

My second comic for Ace Week!

From Jughead, Issue #224 (January 1974). Reprinted in Archie 1000 Page Comics-Palooza

You are valid, don't let anyone tell you you don't exist

Just punch them in the face and ask them if that's real enough for them

I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT

To prove something to a friend, please

REBLOG IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES

LIKE IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS DON’T BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES

Concept: bi/pan/ace kids feeling safe and welcome in their community.

Aces and aros have always existed, in every era, in every culture.

I made a tiktok for this! I’m drawing one aro character a day for aro awareness week!

Friendly reminder that Alastor is aroace. I personally think you can ship him however much you want, I can’t control that, but it’s disappointing that a majority of the fandom choose to romanticise and hyper sexualise him. It makes it so that he’s only portrayed as aro/ace in a minority of the fandom. A lack of sexual or romantic attraction isn’t boring, it’s not uninteresting. I want it to be normalised. Yes you can ship him but respect his canon sexual orientation, as much as you’d respect any other part of the community 💜

If anyone for some reason want to use this as any kind of profile picture you’re totally welcome!

Dessert

Didn’t have much time today but ate cake for breakfast! Here’s a character sketch I made based off a cake

Masterpost

I made this a while after pride month and finally decided to post it! Don’t mind me making my faves say aspec rights. I also decided to add plushies of the others because why not! 💜🤍🖤

If you can’t tell: Lion= Roman, Owl= Logan, disturbing looking frog= Patton, spider= Virgil, snake= ...Thomas and finally Octupus= Remus 💚🤍🖤

You don't have to fit under a label neatly to use it. It being useful is enough.

HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS

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

It funny how I was able to accept that I was ace, granted I was in denial about it for some time. Then I realized I was aro and was like...”NONONO...I know I have no desire to date anyone, but NONONONONONONOnonono....I haven’t dated anyone...I don’t know what a crush feels like, let alone attraction!!! I’ve never had any fantasies!!! Wait-...people fantasize ABOUT ONE ANOTHER?!! I wouldn’t date any stranger or my friends!!!” and then I had the most funny thought at a certain point (before I knew the term aromantic) and it was, “Well maybe if I move countries I’ll be able to fall in love!!!!”, and meanwhile when romance/sex would show up in media I’d be like “Where is the plot?! Why did we lose the plot?! People actually want this?! WAIT-?! Do people act like this?!”. I also thought people were just deadass lying when they said they experienced crushes in kindergarten, which they probably weren’t lying. I will say though I do love food. I mean pesto is an absolute god. Chocolate is amazing (though if don’t like chocolate that’s cool too, same with any other food). But bread...oh my god! I love naan, rolls, and most breads.

Am I gonna talk about my aroace-ness again? Yes, yes I will

I fucking love being aroace. I may be a teen and others may be falling in love and doing the big sex (I find sex funny cause I don’t get it, but good for them). I am perfectly content with all my friends and I love them to the earth, the moon, the stars, the vast universe, and all the way back again. I love to hear their stories and their perceptions. I could gush over all my friends all day. I’m glad that I don’t have to deal with as much drama due to lack of interest and attraction. Also good for other aros who feel little attraction and good for aros who still want relationships, ya’ll do be swell. That about wraps it up :)

Supporting bisexuals is ace culture

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! No matter where you are in the world, you are seen, recognized, and loved!

Coming out is a personal choice, and something that should be done because you want to. You don't have to come out if you don't want to. You don't have to come out if you're not ready yet.

Yes very mmm much

P.S first reblog

There is no right path to figuring out you're ace/aro or identifying as ace/aro. Everyone's story is different.

Also, again, queer is still so much easier. I’m not obligated to sit down and explain that I’m panromantic Demisexual, because most people don’t fucking understand what those terms mean, and:

Hello to you too acephobia!

And don’t get me started on the “isn’t bisexuality and pansexuality the same thing?” Argument people sometimes start. Technically no, there are more than just two genders and pansexuality means you literally do not care about that. It doesn’t matter to you what they identify as or what’s in their pants, and for some Bisexuals that might actually matter to them, even if to most you meet it doesn’t.

Here’s the other thing:

I don’t feel like having those conversations in public.

When I had to try and explain that to my mom upon coming out, that was exhausting enough. A stranger or even some family aren’t entitled to my explanations of my existence. Sorry, that’s up to me to decide.

So yeah. Queer it is.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

there’s a lot of like lesbian vs ace stuff and how they hate each other so

i’m ur local lesbian here to tell all ace people that I love u and u deserve to be in this community !!! i will throw hands with anyone who harms u!!!

Reblog if you think asexuality is a real thing that actually exists.

I'm trying to prove something.

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals

shout out to ace and aro kids who are constantly bombarded with the opinion that sex and romantic love are directly connected to living a happy life.

reblog if you wear an ace ring, an aro ring, or you understand the symbolism of an ace/aro ring

Just doing some spring cleaning (it's spring in Australia)

If you're anti aromantic get the f*** out

This is not a place for you

You need to leave

Context: I recently came out as aromantic I realise some people are NOT cool that.

So I want to make it clear you can be aromantic and still have sexual attraction you can be aromantic and a lesbian, you can be aromantic and gay and bisexual, you can be aromantic and straight, you can be aromantic and not feel sexual attraction but most of all you need to be respectful of others. To all my aros I love you I appreciate you you don't gotta love no one but yourselves. WE ARE VALID

To all the biphobes your viction notice was last month. I don't know why you're still here but you need to leave.

This is a no bigot zone and you've had your warnings

Remember cleanliness is important and to spring clean your blog every year

Happy Asexual Week of Visibility!

My dear lgbt+ kids,

Whenever you’re reading this, during Asexuality Awareness Week or not, it’s a good day to

- be proud of and comfortable in your identity as an asexual person

- question if you might be asexual (and no, you’re not too young, too old, too whatever!)

- support asexual people. Asexuality is real, there’s nothing wrong with it and asexual people belong in our community!

With all my love, Your Tumblr Dad

Jody!! 🖤🤍💜
