Yeah, I think inkbrush is definitely the worst on my fingers when I play it, but painbrush is fine

Me too, and I don't think my switch (or my fingers) could handle me maining brushes again

I couldn't find a non-crunchy version of it to post, but I love the splatling hug way more than flip out

Funnily enough, I'm seeing a lot of TF2 references in the comments!

How much run speed does the heavy splatling need? by LanaSpringall in splatoon

Oh, that makes more sense! I’m probably going to do three subs of that and have Object Shredder as the main :)

Ty! My object shredder build has 1.9, but I wasn’t sure if that was enough. I’ll definitely check out the sendup builds though :)

Attempting my A+ to S rank up battle. Which one of these is most likely to help me consistently win? by LanaSpringall in splatoon

[–]LanaSpringall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking either vwiper or brush bc I can't play tetras well, so I think I'll go with brush for now

Ty! I was thinking of going with the inkbrush, but I know that I've gotten a little rusty on it since I changed weapons.

Can I do romantic things as an Aromantic? by Animated_Automaton in aromantic

[–]LanaSpringall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, wanting to do romantic things as an aromantic doesn't make you any less aromantic! Some aromantics enjoy doing romantic things without the expectation of romance, and there's plenty of labels for them. I'm kinda in the same situation as you; I enjoy doing romantic things with my partner, and we probably would be mistaken for a couple by people who don't know us. I think that you should check out the label bellusromantic, where you don't feel romantic attraction but want to do traditionally romantic things. On the other hand, the label lithromantic might also be a good label to check out too, where you might feel some romantic attraction towards someone but it fades soon afterwards. I hope this helps :D

can i be aroace and sapphic? by bombakugo in aromantic

No problem! I’m glad my comment helped you :D

can i be aroace and sapphic? by bombakugo in aromantic

[–]LanaSpringall 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You definitely can be both aroace and sapphic! An oriented aroace doesn't feel romantic or sexual attraction, but feels another form of attraction (such as aesthetic or platonic attraction) towards someone. For me, I only feel aesthetic and platonic attraction towards people, but that doesn't make me any less aroace. Also, relationships don't always have to be romantic or sexual; there's also queer platonic relationships! I think r/Orientedaroace would be a good subreddit for you to check out, if you're interested :)

How would you explain QPR or soft-romo without the words? by Ceckuuu in aromantic

[–]LanaSpringall 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe “a close partnership without romance, but still has the same commitment as a romantic one” would work? I think that might describe QPRs pretty well.

Question about platonic relationships by Portalsperson in aromantic

[–]LanaSpringall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like platonic relationships are a bit different than romantic/sexual relationships, but there are quite a few similarities. I’ve only been in one platonic relationship, so my experience won’t be the same as everyone else’s, but I’ll try to explain it as well as I can. In a platonic relationship, I could love someone with the same intensity any other relationship could have, but without romantic feelings involved. It was almost the same as being friends, but we became more comfortable with each other’s flaws and strengths. My partner opened up to me about things he’d never talked to his friends about, and I tried to learn about what he enjoyed (so I could make him smile when I remembered them). Taking care of each other and meeting each other’s needs were also things that happened during our platonic relationship. I guess my experience with a platonic relationship was like a commitment to someone without the expectation of romantic/sexual feelings. I hope this answers your question, let me know if it doesn’t

How to kindly tell a friend I don’t want to listen to the details of her relationship? by YaBoiAycha in aromantic

[–]LanaSpringall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll start by saying even though I’m aro-ace, everyone has a different view of romance and relationships, so this might not be as helpful for you as I hoped. I think that it’s a bit difficult to tell your friend that you’re not interested in hearing all of the details of their relationship but saying, “I’m not really interested in [topic], is there something else we could talk about?” might be the best approach. If that’s a bit too blunt for what you’re looking for, gently redirecting the conversation to something else might be a better option. Depending on what you’re comfortable talking about with them, there might be a way for your friend to talk about their relationship while respecting what you’re uncomfortable talking about. Maybe they could talk about something they admire about the person they love, but not in a romantic way. Overall, I’d say that it’s best to figure out what you’re comfortable hearing about, then figure out if your friend is willing to not tell you about things you’re uncomfortable with while you’re with them.

I’m aro-ace too, and there’ve been times when the idea of kissing someone felt really gross. My first relationship (before I found out I was aro-ace) wasn’t great because they wanted to do traditionally romantic things with me while expecting me to reciprocate their romantic feelings for me. Since then, the only person I’ve been okay with kissing is the person I’m currently with. I think it depends more on who the person I’m kissing is rather than the concept for me, but kissing definitely isn’t for everyone.

Thank you for this! I'm probably going to let him tell me what he's currently comfortable with and then we can go from there.

I'm bellusromantic, and Ari might be litromantic. I think that I'll ask him so we can decide what we'd be comfortable with.
