I want to thank Tumblr and the internet for introducing me to the concept of being aromantic and giving me a word for why I’m just not that into the idea of being “in love” for myself.
Day 3: A character you see as grey-a or demisexual
Jean Valjean // Les Misérables
❝With the exception of Cosette, that is to say, with the exception of a childhood, Jean Valjean had never, in the whole of his long life, known anything of that which may be loved. The passions and loves which succeed each other had not produced in him those successive green growths, tender green or dark green, which can be seen in foliage which passes through the winter and in men who pass fifty.❞
are ACE and ARO people part of the LGBTQ community?
Yes yes yes!
You are welcomed and loved

transcription:
“So, there’s been this big debate lately, are aro and ace people part of the LGBTQ movement? are asexual, and aromantic, and some other people, under our umbrella?
And the answer is: YES. OF COURSE. YOU ARE.
OF COURSE. YOU ARE. WELCOME.
Of course! And there are two things to remember with that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the community, YES: if you want to be.
Right?
I am not ace, I am not aro, and so it’s not up to me to decide who I want to work with, and who I want to align with.
But if it’s up to ME – I’m genderfluid – YES, we need to do work together, and we need to band together, and of course you’re part of my community!
The, the… the other thing to remember is, this is not a battle of ‘gay people versus everybody else,’ or ‘trans people versus everybody else,’ this is that, like, insular, we’re-better-than-you, heteronormative, like, homophobic, like, regular people that’s in every movie, every ad, every single bit of culture, and has been dominant for so many years….
being dismantled. [laughs]
Which makes me happy.
And of course we all need to work together to do that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the LGBTQIAA+ community? Yeah. Of course they are. It’s a big tent. It’s a big umbrella. Let’s work together.”
Hey, can someone who knows their way around an image editing program please modify an image from Space Invaders to be the colors of the asexual pride flag and change the name to Ace Invaders because we are so damn dangerous and clearly don’t belong in LGBT+ areas and we just love “invading safe spaces”. I may make the design into a shirt and wear it always just so people don’t mistake me for something I’m not.
I did the thing
I read that as change it to the asexual pirate flag instead of pride flag
GRAPHICS PEEPS, CAN WE GET AN ACE PIRATE FLAG, TOO?
A common ask we get is where can I get an ace ring? Where can I get one without my parents knowing? Well I found these at Walmart for really cheap! They also had white ones but I didn’t have time to take a photo of it. (Sorry!) If you need cover you can get a set that has school colors, sports colors, or maybe your just fav color. Happy shopping!
