💚 🩶 🤍 🩶 💚
Reasoning: Um uh um uh....she just has the vibe your honour
Greyromantic meaning:
It describes those who experience romantic attraction with a lesser frequency, or with a lesser intensity, than would be considered average for an alloromantic person. People with a greyromantic identity come to feel a sense of relatedness to the aromantic spectrum due to this discrepancy.
Is he demisexual and demiromantic?
🖤 🩶 💜💚 🤍 🖤
Is she demiromantic?
🖤 🩶 💚 🤍 🖤
Reasoning: A sexually promiscuous woman who has struggled several times with more "serious"/long term/romantic relationships. Sometimes even sabotaging them herself. Even when her more romantic relationships do seem to work out, they never last more than one episode. Despite all this, she had been in a faithful loving marriage with her husband George until he died. Her actress has suggested that George was the love of Blanche's life, and that her promiscuity was in fact a desperate search for the next love of her life. Also "Devereaux" sounds a lot like "Demiro". Also Also because I said so. >:)
Is he demiromantic?
🖤 🩶 💚 🤍 🖤
Reasoning: okay hear me out. for most of the early seasons he seems super uncomfortable with going out with strangers and feels the need to nitpick everyone he goes out with to find some reason to call it off. the only people he's every really comfortable dating are janice, who he has an on again-off again thing with for several seasons and only seems to actually be genuinely interested in the third or fourth time they get together, and monica, his eventual wife who was his very close friend and neighbor for years before they started dating.
Is he aroace?
🧡 💛 🤍 🩵 💙
Reasoning: This show is so freaking horny and he doesn't get a ship in it. I know it's because it was too early for solid gay rep, but also he gives strong aroace vibes

[Note, this is referring to the book version of this character, not the movie version]
Reasoning: She's never been shown to give a damn about sex or romance, instead focusing on the familial love she has for her charges.
Am I gonna talk about my aroace-ness again? Yes, yes I will
I fucking love being aroace. I may be a teen and others may be falling in love and doing the big sex (I find sex funny cause I don’t get it, but good for them). I am perfectly content with all my friends and I love them to the earth, the moon, the stars, the vast universe, and all the way back again. I love to hear their stories and their perceptions. I could gush over all my friends all day. I’m glad that I don’t have to deal with as much drama due to lack of interest and attraction. Also good for other aros who feel little attraction and good for aros who still want relationships, ya’ll do be swell. That about wraps it up :)
It funny how I was able to accept that I was ace, granted I was in denial about it for some time. Then I realized I was aro and was like...”NONONO...I know I have no desire to date anyone, but NONONONONONONOnonono....I haven’t dated anyone...I don’t know what a crush feels like, let alone attraction!!! I’ve never had any fantasies!!! Wait-...people fantasize ABOUT ONE ANOTHER?!! I wouldn’t date any stranger or my friends!!!” and then I had the most funny thought at a certain point (before I knew the term aromantic) and it was, “Well maybe if I move countries I’ll be able to fall in love!!!!”, and meanwhile when romance/sex would show up in media I’d be like “Where is the plot?! Why did we lose the plot?! People actually want this?! WAIT-?! Do people act like this?!”. I also thought people were just deadass lying when they said they experienced crushes in kindergarten, which they probably weren’t lying. I will say though I do love food. I mean pesto is an absolute god. Chocolate is amazing (though if don’t like chocolate that’s cool too, same with any other food). But bread...oh my god! I love naan, rolls, and most breads.

Something I recently realized that helped me understand my aro-spec identity is that my "crushes" that I can remember weren't actually fueled by romantic attraction for the person. They were actually fueled by attraction towards the idea of dating/liking them, but not actually them as a person. I wanted to find my soulmate and as soon as I found someone that I thought fit that ideal, I would start daydreaming about being with them, but I wasn't really attracted to them as a person, just my idealized version of them and the relationship. As a result, I couldn't really name any traits about those people that I liked, aside from surface level ones like, "funny," "nice," and "hardworking." And while I was aesthetically attracted to them, I never really fantasized about kissing them or being super romantic with them (aside from maybe hand-holding or hugging), and if I ever tried, it made me uncomfortable and felt like I was violating them. Did anyone else have a similar experience or is it just me?
Was I the only aro-spec person who had the experience of thinking that I had crushes growing up, but looking back, they might not have been crushes because 1. I could never or only rarely name any traits that I liked about them (and those rare times that I could were traits that I simply admired), 2. I felt immense relief when they rejected me, or 3. I just wanted to have a crush, so I chose a person and consciously decided to develop feelings for them, not knowing that it doesn't work like that?
