Welcome to my links directory! Let's start this off with the question you probably want to ask:

What’s a Bi Aroace and/or an Oriented Aroace?

In short, bi/gay/pan/etc. aroaces [oriented aroaces for short] experience attraction that’s neither romantic nor sexual, but is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. Most often, this attraction manifests as the desire to form committed partnerships with people of one’s preferred gender(s), but other experiences with non-romantic/sexual attraction exist as well.

Anything else that's important to note?

This label was specifically created for aroaces who do not experience any kind of romantic/sexual attraction, though it fully welcomes those who do not know whether they feel such attraction or not. To avoid confusion between oriented aroaces and folks on the aroace-spectrum (demi/gray/etc.), please use "gay/bi/pan/etc. a-specs" for the latter group.

More information on me, my blog, and oriented aroaces like me in the links below!

Terms Of Interaction

Disclaimer:

Understand that this blog is fundamentally a personal blog, created with the aim of boosting my self-confidence. That said, I will not bar anyone from following [provided they fit my criteria], nor will I discourage it. On the contrary, if people wish to follow me because they think this blog could help them in some way too, then I’d be thoroughly honored. All I ask is that you remember that this blog is a personal one, and that you treat it as such. Thank you.

Terms of Interaction:
Don’t interact/follow if you’re an exclusionist, otherwise anti-ace/aro, or just don’t “entirely agree with” my identity. I created this blog to feel better about myself, not to fend people off. Please respect the boundaries I set. Don’t try to start a debate about me either behind my back or to my face. If you don’t like what I’m doing, please just move on. I won’t engage anyway.Aside from that, anyone can follow so long as they have good intentions. You don’t need to be a bi aroace, or even aroace at all to follow.
Extra Notes:
I am subject to impromptu social hiatuses, meaning that answering asks/interacting with people may sometimes be difficult for me. Feel free to send me asks nonetheless, as I really do want to help– but please understand that sometimes, I just won’t be able to.

About This Blog

What to expect:
This blog is a repertoire for all things bi aroace, so do expect to find bi aroace content, along with content for other types of oriented aroaces because solidarity warms my heart.This blog is 100% confrontation-free, meaning I will not intentionally try to incite debate, actually engage in debate, or play into other people’s sealioning tactics. Despite not directly engaging in discourse, I am still fairly vocal about my pro-ace/aro and inclusionist stances; in other words, even if they weren’t written by me, do expect to see inclusionist and otherwise pro-ace/aro posts here.Most of this blog’s content will be positivity-oriented, though!! Alongside bi aroace positivity, you will find other types of ace/aro/aroace positivity, lgbt+ positivity, and general positivity.Do not expect me to post much content of my own directly onto this blog. Like I said, this blog is a repertoire, meaning I’m more focused on gathering existing posts together into one concrete source.
