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
Hey, shout out to them Ace and Aro spec boys of All Ages out there. 18? 24? 30s? 40s? You aren’t broken, and there’s nothing wrong with you, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Just keep being you, okay? I’m proud of you. ♤♡♤
Submissions for the first Aro/Ace Collective zine are open!
I have been wanting to do a project like this for a while now to raise awareness of aromantic and asexual identities so I’m very excited to get this ball rolling! That being said, the theme of the first issue will be “Awareness”; awareness of aromonaticism and asexuality in oneself, awareness from others, awareness as an orientation, the interpretation is up to you!
Rules of Submission:
A short comic (no minimum length) by creators who identify on the aro or ace spectrum regarding the theme of “Awareness” and aromanticism and/or asexuality
Digital, watercolor, charcoal, any medium!
Content that is rated no higher than PG-13 (in order to allow the greatest number of people to enjoy the zine)
Original work, please do not submit art made by anyone but yourself nor can it be fanart based off another person’s work (collaborations are totally fine!)
Any genre! Fiction, non-fiction, autobiographical, fantasy, all fair game
Other Info

This article is from 2005 and was at a time of controversy surrounding a video Nickelodeon put out supporting diversity and tolerance of differing family types. While SpongeBob has been confirmed ace, I’m still a fan of the idea that he’s a gay ace or at the very least in a qpr with Patrick.
with thanksgiving on the way, i hope all of you make it through the awkwardly invasive questions about your love life that your relatives will send your way
