I Doubt My Aromantic Identity A Lot.

I doubt my aromantic identity a lot.

I want to date. I am very romance positive. I think I’ve had crushes before? Love is something I dive headfirst into - hell, I’ve even called myself ‘love incarnate’ multiple times. Shouldn’t I be, like, disqualified or something?

Like, yeah, my ‘crushes’ are usually sexual/platonic, any romantic attraction is very few and far between, and wanting to date is just nebulous and no attraction to anyone in particular (more just a vague yearn).

but it still feels…weird. I don’t relate with a lot of the community because of my experiences. It’s isolating. Yeah, I’ll stand with the rest of us - support every aro or support none of them - but it’s…lonely. I guess I just want to meet more people like me.

I know I’m aro. The label and its community has made a lasting impact on me, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see the world the same way again. (This is awesome!!) but I guess I just feel…alone, sometimes. For how it presents in me. This leads to doubt.

but in the wise words of punkitt - “do whatever you want forever.”

no one is safe

Simple comic featuring two characters labelled "favourite character existing" and "me" respectively. 'Me' raises their hand to blast an "aro beam" at their favourite character that has the aro pride flag colours.

Ace and aro little guys

I liked the idea of just making chill little guys……… that’s how I feel as an aroace person at least

(If they look blurry it’s cuz they’re really small lol I wanted to make them smaller stickers too to help with the Little Guy feeling)

I’m struggling with my redbubble rn it won’t let me log in but once it does I’ll start actually putting stuff up cuz it’s pride now :) happy pride month!

The most difficult thing to draw for me personally was the centipede. I had about 7 options on how to draw it. This centipede turned out to be the most successful.
