chantsings:chantsings:it’s aromantic spectrum awareness week and i am obsessed with them.love (left) is queer and greyromantic. he’s romance repulsed when it’s directed at him in certain ways, but is otherwise generally romance positive. dogwood (right) is gay and demisexual. he needs a while & a strong bond with someone for sexual attraction to form. he’s not sex repulsed.they first met during vytali love to see aromantic allosexual & romantic asexual pairs because life or society will tell us that this combination is impossible or unhappy, as if relationships are just a math problem, as if chemistry and care are wholly dependent on sex and romance. when i say that these two had some immediate chemistry. they both had to unlearn certain scripts and expectations of what a relationship should look like in order to make theirs work. they were also long distance a lot due to living in different kingdoms, vacuo and mistral.after they started dating it took love a very long time (two years) to feel comfortable shifting his label from aro as an umbrella term to specifically greyromantic, which accommodates feeling romantic attraction very weakly, infrequently, or ambiguously. he had a bit of a crisis over it, feeling like it’s not normal to take literal years to start feeling definite romantic attraction for someone you’re already dating, but dogwood was very understanding about it (: -- source link
