nb people are members of the fae

a-spec people are our trickster emissaries

treat them with respect but be wary of any offers of food 

what, you thought it was a coincidence ace culture is based on cake and puns? how foolish. 

you know who else likes wordplay and tempting foods? 

Well, I guess you baker beware of all these cookies I made today. Looks like they’re going to go to waist whether you eat them or not. At yeast I’ll have them all to myself now…

PUNS AND TEMPTING FOOD, I TOLD YOU

#fun fact when you can only see the top of the pink letters it looks like it says enbies

someone Photoshop it

Okay this is amazing and all, but this also went from “a-spec people” to just “ace culture” really quick

good point! I’m aro, but while I associated ace culture w/ things like cake, dragons, puns etc, I don’t have many associations for aro culture! we just don’t talk about it enough. let’s fix that!

aro culture is ___________?

  • Yellow flowers, particularly yellow roses (symbolize friendship)
  • Plants in general
  • The void of space, stars
  • Mistaking an anxiety attack for romantic feelings
  • Green gemstones like malachite, emerald, serpentine
  • Discount chocolate after Valentine’s day
  • Arrows
  • Also dragons
  • Frog!!!

Other aro-specs add on.

MISTAKING AN ANXIETY ATTACK FOR ROMANTIC FEELINGS?!?

where’s the thing that says “I did not agree to this picture of me pls delete it”

I was seriously thinking just the other day about how many of my relationships were “I have to convince myself I’m in love with you because I’m terrified of making anyone angry or sad and so I’m utterly screwed here” and how I should write something about this

I literally. Told someone I was in love with him once. Because he had just said he was in love with me, and I’d said apologetically that I didn’t feel the same, and he was SAD.

So, being aro and not knowing it and having absolutely zero idea what being in love meant or felt like, I searched within myself to see if perhaps I could find some seed of liking him more than as a friend, that might be nurtured into love. And I convinced myself that I loved him enough to say that actually I DID love him. And WE DATED FOR NINE MONTHS AND EVEN MOVED IN TOGETHER. WHY GOD WHY

a-spec erasure has real & serious consequences!
