![A text post by user heartless-aro, June 16, 2024
One of my least favorite responses to discussions about arophobia in fiction is "That character isn't aromantic though! They're just a psychopath/sociopath/narcissist/[insert relevant stigmatized disorder here]". Being aromantic and having a personality disorder--including ASPD or NPD--are not mutually exclusive. The trope of "This person doesn't feel love, therefore they are evil" doesn't stop being arophobic the moment it's directed towards a character with a personality disorder (yes, even if they have one of the "scary" personality disorders). Ableism and arophobia often intersect in this way, and that doesn't make the arophobia any less arophobic.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ld42c24tsznfwfgrci3edac/bafkreiabnlrcqtibnufipwd5ymw23yzhbikgujh3icmyfxlatojmx2h6za)

Heartless-aro on Tumblr said it better than I could. The aro community has been instrumental in dismantling a lot of my unconscious ableism over the years. #aromanticawarenessweek

#AromanticAwarenessWeek is almost over but I wanna give a special shoutout to the aromantics who are just aromantic. Too many ppl think being aro isnt queer enough. You are queer. Being aro should never be reduced to โyou just donโt wanna date.โ Thatโs ignorant af. Aromantics are valid (1/2)

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of the tarot card the Ace of Wands, done in Aromantic colours (dark green, light green, white, grey, and black), in the style of my Octopus Tarot. The wand is fluorescent yellow, as all magic items are in my tarot, and is the stem of a green and white flower, with a leaf and bud growing off to the right. The wand is held up from an ocean by a black octopus arm, and a ribbon off kelp is wound around the wand, the end of which is blowing to the right. In the background is the shore, the beach, and the sand dunes beyond, all in grey tones, with the dawn just starting behind the dunes (just before the sun comes up), which shades from yellow to blue, with the last of the stars still visible at the top of the card. The flower has 12 petals, six pale green/white, six darker green, and the cardinal points of the compass are marked by letters (clockwise from top) E, S, W, and N. E is at the top, as the sun is about to rise directly behind the flower. Underneath the image is a band of of the Aromantic colours, then the card title โAce of Wandsโ in grey letters on white, bordered by silver top and bottom. The entire card is bordered in metallic green. The Ace of wands signifies the start of new things; friendships or creative projects, maybe a new phase of life. Good things are on the horizon. References: Rider-Waite Tarot deck, โThe Acesโ, by Justin, Medium.com.

I became aware of Aromantic Awareness Week today, & added the Ace of Wands to my Octopus Tarot in Aromantic colours.
Ace/Wands is all about new things on the horizon.

Image is of an aromantic flag against a blue sky. It has a blue and purple gradient with the GCN logo and the article's title that reads: "Exploring the different labels within the aromantic spectrum". At the bottom of the image, a message says: "Read more on www.gcn.ie at the link in bio".
From the archive for #AromanticAwarenessWeek, we have a look at the different ways people experience (or don't) romantic attraction. Read ๐ buff.ly/U9Ud4ld #GCNnews

A digital drawing of Mirabelle from In Stars and Time. Parts of her dress have been coloured in green to match the aromantic flag, and the white on her arms and bow have been shaded with light green too. She's smiling and holding up one side of her dress. The background is a ribbon of the aromantic flag, and random watercolour splotches in those colours.
Mirabelle from In Stars and Time for #AroAwarenessWeek!! ๐๐ค๐ฉถ๐ค
Please be aware of her :) she's lovely

This week is Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.
Aromantic people may experience little or no romantic attraction. Aromanticism is valid, diverse, and an important part of the LGBT+ spectrum.

First part of an aromantic meme labeled โRomance coming at me in the form of booksโ while showing a photo of a Black woman happily reading while lying on top of her bed with a mug in hand. Second part is labeled โRomance coming at me in real lifeโ showing a scared kid in tears while holding a cross in one hand and his free hand up, trying to get whateverโs approaching him to back up
Iโm the type of aro that wants to keep it fictional please & thank you ๐โโ๏ธ #aromantic #AromanticAwarenessWeek #aspecauthors
