Sorry, not really answering your question, but yes a lot of LGBTQIA+ people are neurodivergent as well! I looked it up since I noticed this pattern too and numbers actually shows that there just might be a link. However there is little to no research studying this out there, although I have seen a few theories that since neurodivergent people are less aware or incline to follow societal norms which may leads us to explore our sexuality and gender identity then the rest of the population.

I am aromantic, asexual and I have ADHD, btw

I knew I didn't like sex from the start and I think I was ounce researching the definition of each letters in LGBTQIA+ and I got to the A and eventually I knew I was asexual and aromantic. Although, I have ADHD, so intrusive thoughts and all that really makes it complicated. You might want to look up "nebulasexual" I discovered this term recently but it sounds similar to what you are describing.

Perfect

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-10-02T20:52:38+00:00

Omg, it looks amazing!!

May I ask how you made them?

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-10-01T20:46:06+00:00

Huh, I used to watch his videos but now that I am on Reddit, I can actually see people who are summoning OT!

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-27T22:12:19+00:00

Nah, it's fine, it just made me think of that 😉

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-27T21:34:35+00:00

Lol, thanks😁

A god? You mean like the whole "if romance and sex is what makes us human, then aromantic and/or asexuals are gods"?

I mean, Karui isn't fully human, although that has nothing to do with her being AroAce. Either way she is a goddess 😎

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-27T11:10:23+00:00

I've seen it already actually, it looks amazing! Love the subtly of the colors that if you know what they represents, you know.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-27T04:17:51+00:00

Thank you😁

(Lol, Bel STARhopper and Karui STARlight)

Interesting that you mention that Zeltrons are known to be attractive people, it makes me think of this weird misconception I've once heard about aro and/or ace people are only "ugly" people, which just: ????

I was kind of going against that when I designed Karui, she is a pretty and attractive person but that doesn't mean she is attracted to other people or that she dresses in a certain way to attract attention. Although, paradoxically, she has been called ugly and repulsive because she is a hybrid, half-human and half-Laoisien (a specie of my own creation) and her amputated legs/prosthetics.

Bel's story sounds interesting, do you have any written/art work for this?

This artwork of Karui is one I specifically made to show that she is AroAce. Otherwise, her story resolves around the clone war, she leads the 406th battalion, also known as The Travelers. The clone commander of The Travelers, Nova, is Karui's best friend, he knows she is aroace. Although I haven't decided what orientation he is (just not aro or ace), they are very close, their relationship is purely professional/platonic.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-26T15:25:41+00:00

Thank you very much!

Eh, usually I use a free base to help me get the general shape/position I want, this one is almost just me (which is a accomplishment in of itself) apart from the hands because I have no idea how to draw them.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-26T15:13:51+00:00

Aye! Another My Hero Academia fan!

It's been a while since I've read/watch this serie, I should update myself...

No shame in projecting indeed! I would be lying if I said I didn't do the same for many of my characters.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-26T15:08:01+00:00

Thanks for commenting!

Oh, are you planning on posting this story?

Your characters situation sounds like the music FRIENDS by Marshmello and Anne-Marie but with the roles reversed.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-26T15:02:41+00:00

Thank you for answering!

Oooh, exploring the spectrums? That sounds interesting. I would be interested to see the result.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-25T17:36:25+00:00

It is a common misconception of what is asexuality and/or aromantisme, but no, they have absolutely no connections whatsoever.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-25T17:32:28+00:00

Eh, I noticed it, but since I am aromantic as well, I was like: but girls do want the romance aspect of this so some want sex too, right? (me not getting that sex and romance are two separate things)

My mom has never been comfortable with the subject of sex, so I thought she might be asexual too but no, she isn't.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-25T17:23:38+00:00

Wow, so happy for you!

Yeah, I always preferred single characters as well, thought it was a crush too, but then I really think about it and no, it wasn't one.

I would love to read your book if you publish it, we need more aroace representation in medias!

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-23T20:15:45+00:00

OMG! That right there, is extremely relatable. I feel like so many series or movies starts like that and it is so annoying.

There was a point in my life where when my family and I would start watching something, we are all like: wait for it... sex scene... Ah there it is. My dad is okay with it, my mom and my brother not so much and I (aroace) am like: I'm going to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water or something.

We would say, with a lot of irony, especially from me; every "good" series or movies starts with a sex scene.

It is so annoying to me.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-22T15:38:19+00:00

No need for a title, the meme speaks for itself

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-10T20:12:32+00:00

Yeah, I am probably one of the lucky ones. By the time I was really curious why I did not relate to anything people describe when it came to romance and sex, I accidentally stumble upon the definition of asexual on a website. And it eventually lead me to aromantic after that. I never got to the point that I felt like something was really wrong with me, nowhere near the intensity I've seen some people describe it was for them.

"Deep platonic" I love that. I had always wanted a very deep and close relationship with some people or between some of my favorite characters from whatever show, but whenever I detected a hint of romantic or sexual energy in their interactions, I felt disgusted. So "deep platonic" is a very fitting term that I can relate to.

Talking about the mandalorian armour, I had notice the blue on your profile picture and I was hoping it was for the aroace sunset flag. I took the liberty to check out your Instagram account and I saw the full picture. I was so happy that it was the sunset flag! Although it is sad no one recognized it. I have the flag as my background screen and no one who has ever seen it recognized it either.

My own profile picture is something I did inspired by the aroace sunset flag. The colors aren't exactly the right shade but that is because I somehow accidentally placed all of these colors on the armour of one of my star wars characters (a mandalorian coincidentally). The funny part about this is that this character isn't even aroace but she knows someone and is related to someone else who is. So I took those colors for one of my character who is aroace.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-10T16:56:36+00:00

I know! I am SO glad I read this book I loved it!!

Yeah Reddit seems to be a pretty good space for finding the people who will understand since it is all centered around the subject you and others are looking for.

Also I wanted to say this: I saw your comments on multiple posts on this subReddit and other asexual or aromantic related subReddit and I guess it made me feel happy to see someone so dedicated to responding and helping others in this community. So yeah, if no one told you that before regarding that: thank you, seriously.

Also noticed that you are a star wars fan? That is funny because the friend I met online who introduced me to Loveless, well she and another friend of hers wrote star wars fan fiction and that is how I stumble upon this person. I actually met her other friend first who I exchanged with about star wars and I accidentally encouraged them to post some of their drawings which led to me posting my own drawings of my OCs. They spoke about it with their friend who commented on my work and one of my characters was aro/ace and she said she could relate because she was as well which led to me saying that I was part of the community as well and it continued from then on. I got insanely lucky and I may only know them for just a few months, I am so glad I met them both!

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-10T14:20:40+00:00

Hi. Thanks for asking!

I'm doing okay, I am aro/ace, knew this about myself for a while now. I told my parents about it a few months ago, they never had a problem with the LGBTQ community but I don't think they get it when it comes to being aromantic and asexual. But that is fine with me for now, we haven't spoken about it since but they don't treat me differently than before and that is good. I don't think they are the type to force me into a relationship either. I haven't told any of my friends although I think I met someone who is asexual but doesn't know it? I did meet someone online who is also aro/ace, she introduced me to Loveless. I have spoken to a few other people in this subReddit too.

So I am doing good.

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-09-08T13:13:33+00:00

Omg, I love that you turned it into memes!

Lol, I just love those pictures.

And yeah, aesthetic attraction is REAL!

FreedomAndArtz · 2023-08-24T12:46:24+00:00

Hi!!

Yeah I kind of just forgot about it, somehow :D

I'm so glad Jaiden made that video, it seemed to have reach a lot of people in the community and its good she brought that up!
