You can still want queerplatonic relationships and you can still prefer one type of queerplatonic partner over another.
Aroaces can experience a non-romantic, non-sexual attraction to men, women, neither, both, all of the above.
There are aroaces who identify as lesbians because they are female/female aligning wish to share their life with women/feminine aligning individuals.
There are aroaces who identify as pan because they wish to share their life with someone regardless of gender.
There are aroaces who don’t identify as anything else because they don’t feel the need to.
There are aroaces that use the term aroace as shorthand for aro-acespec, arospect-ace, aroacespect/aspect, demisexual/demiromantic, quoiromantic/quoisexual, grayace/grayaro/grayaroace, alterous, quasiromantic/quasisexual, etc etc etc.
There’s a reason it’s called aspec and not a-that’s it it’s this nothing else.
Because It’s a wide range of individuals who don’t, don’t usually, almost never, sometimes, sometimes under specific circumstances, or simply don’t know the difference with some experience of sexual and or romantic attraction.
And just because someone falls on the asexual or aromantic spectrum, doesn’t mean they don’t experience other types of attraction. Platonic, queerplatonic, alterous, sensual, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic attractions are all real and sometimes need to be better understood by those who doesn’t experience the main stream sexual or romantic attraction.
So yes, you can be a gay aroace, or a bi aroace, a pan aroace, you can be a lesbian aroace or a poly aroace. Because it’s a complicated world out there and there’s nothing simple about attraction.
Dean’s favourite coffee shop, The Graveyard Shift, is only open after the sun goes down. Which is perfect for him, because that’s exactly when he craves coffee the most while doing the overnight at the fire hall. The coffee shop’s owner is pretty perfect too, but it’s kind of a bummer that Dean never gets to see Cas during the day. In a world where the supernatural live more or less in peace with the rest of humanity, it’s a little impolite to ask Cas just what he really is – or what his dark past entails.

Sam “It Matters to Me” Winchester will take time out of his day to show kindness and consideration for people even when his greatest fear is free in the world, and that is why I love him.
Okay…so…I’m not really sure how Moosiel got started…we were thinking of angel names for Sam, I think…anyway, I got my birthday present to myself gift today of an art tablet, and I had Moosiel on the brain, so here is my first official drawing with my first ever official art tablet.
I don’t care if you’ve never written before or if you’ve written hundreds of fics.
I don’t care if your fic is 100 chapters or just one.
I don’t care if there’s too much dialogue, or not enough.
I don’t care if your character drinks “a hot cup of coffee” or “a steaming well of carefully brewed fair trade Ethiopian single origin organic beans, contained in an antique blue willow cup with one tiny chip on the edge and mild cracking in the glaze.”
I don’t care if you use the same pronoun over and over or if you use the word “persnickety” eleven times over the course of ten pages.
I don’t care if your historical references are accurate, or if the characters speak in a way that doesn’t fit their environment.
I don’t care if your romantic pairing makes love on a bed of roses at sunset or if they bang up against the wall in a changing room at Walmart.
I don’t care if your stories are nothing but fluff, or nothing but smut.
I am going to read your fics, and I am going to enjoy the hell out of them. So please keep writing, and ignore comments from assholes. We, the readers, love you.
