I really like the idea of Micah being aromantic. Specifically aroallo.
He doesn't seem to actually be interested in dating or traditional "love" (while he also makes sexual comments and does express that he's attracted to Abigail)
Though, I'm sure SOME PEOPLE will say that this is a terrible headcannon and that this is just making him a worse guy but idc
I like the idea and think it fits him.
I mean, really, looking at how he acts in game and comparing it to my own experience as someone who is aroallo, I see it.
have my favorite guy and their sniffling and shivering friend of a friend <3333
Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I’d really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer!
https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8
Here are some reasons to partcicipate:
Science and stuff
Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction
Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction
Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)
It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)
Uhhmmm…
Please?
The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous
Reblogs are appreciated!
We have heard all about cishet aro men (and i am grateful for that) but shoutout to cishet aro women too. I'm sure this "discourse" hasn't been easy for you either and just as much as aro men aren't "fuckboys", you aren't "sluts" for experiencing non-romantic, sexual attraction. You are queer too and the intersection between aromanticism and womanhood makes your voices a valuable part of this community.
ever notice the devastating lack of fanworks that involve aromanticism without asexuality? so have i, so after a brief contemplation period i’ve decided to host a fanwork event specifically centred around non-asexual aromanticism. this is kind of spur of the moment and i’m still sorting a few things out, but, i’m confident enough in my planning to start the blog today and post up a spread of how it’s gonna go down!
but first, a little bit about your host. i am Ace (as in, thats my name), but i alternatively go by Ivory. my pronouns are it/its and neopronouns. where i fall on the aromantic spectrum is still to be determined, where i fall between strict asexuality and strict allosexuality is even less determined.
prompt submission: May 4th to May 10th prompt voting: May 11th to May 17th prompts posted: May 18th (probably wont have fancy formatting) downtime to pre-write/pre-draw: May 19th to May 31st posting week: June 1st to June 7th
1: anyone can participate! whether you’re non-ace aro or otherwise, so long as you create works that focus on aromanticism without asexuality then you’re welcome!
2: please tag your works properly! smut is allowed and welcomed, but it’d be nice to have a little bit of warning when i’m scrolling through works
3: don’t worry about posting “late”! i’ll be scrolling around for things posted late through all of June, aim for posting during the week but it’s okay if ya don’t
4: any fandoms and any “ships” are allowed! this is a multifandom event, and, truthfully, the more the merrier
5: most importantly, have fun with it!
annnnnd that brings this post to a close!
i hope that this fandom week brings the non-ace aro community a little bit closer together, that it spreads awareness within fandom, and most importantly, that the people have fun with it.

I most certainly agree with this
starts punching and tearing at everything in a blind rage. i want AROMANTIC characters i want characters with not an OUNCE of romance about them i don't JUST want aroace characters i want AROMANTIC characters that AREN'T ASEXUAL i want people to headcanon characters as AROMANTIC not just aroace i want fandom to treat AROMANTICISM as AROMANTICISM, and not a SUBCATEGORY OF ASEXUALITY. RRRAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH

Local aromantic asexual here to give non asexual aromantic/aroallo people my support
Giving every aroallo, just aro, and non-asexual aromantic person a respectful nod, hug, high five, handshake, or smile
I personally love it when people do this, assuming it is done right. As an Ace and Gender fluid person I often feel othered, and making a character like idk an alien or something helps me relate more. Because that is a literal way to other the character. Good example of nb alien imo, Double Trouble, there is plenty of other representation in She-Ra so it's pretty clear it was done with no bad intention. Of course, if it is done in a way that equates a lack of conformity to being inhumane then that's another issue. It means the writer doesn't know what they're talking about and should shut up.
Basically, if represented in a positive light, muah, love it, thank you, you get it. If it is negative, boooooooo, get better at writing, you suuuuuccckk.

Reblogs appreciated for this one.
hello, tumblr user. before you is an aromantic character. they have never expressed any hint of asexuality. your task is simple: do not refer to them as an "aroace" or get mad at people writing smut about them. the duration of this task is the rest of your life. if you fail at any point in the future, i will personally shoot you.
good luck.
I reblog!

As an aromantic I do not experience romantic love like other people and would still hate it if I got eaten!!!
saw a post abt "if you must eat animals eat bugs not mammals and birds because at least bugs dont have the ability to love!!!" and ok first off, rude to bugs. lots of bugs participate in relationships we would recognize as similar to the ways we express love. and also i do not think that not experiencing human-y emotions makes an animal less deserving of life, that is weird. second off, you cant justify eating things by only eating shit that "deserves it" or doesnt meet ur alive-ness standards. theres no way to cut that off, everything is always more connected and mote aware and more interesting and more intelligent than we think it is. only way u are going to get not-experiencing food is if you eat fruit nectar honey eggs and mushrooms exclusively. plants are alive and they love each other and they enjoy their existences and experience a lot of complex things! there is no cut off of a living thing being a weird automaton that makes it non-living enough to be edible. you will always be eating a being. u have to get used to reciprocity. u are going to get eaten some day! u can make the world a nice place for other things that are eating each other and having a nice time! its ok. eat.
anything you can get from my pfp?
OH and can you get anything (besides the obvious lesbian flag on atrocity's sleeve) from atrocity or vendetta
some aro/ace headcanons bc my family is aphobic and i need to cope
I’ve already done some of these on my main, but I wanted to do some more on my actual colorpicking blog.

G7G (gender leaning gender) - A term that describes attraction to a certain gender alignment, similar to sapphic or achillean, without the implication of love! Coined with loveless alloaros in mind, but anyone may use!
