Aromantic-Official will be hosting prompts and reblogging a few responses for Arospec Awareness Week! Each prompt can be answered with a original creation, like writing or art, or you talking about your personal experiences. You can answer as little or as many of the prompt questions as you’d like. The first three prompts have two days to complete each one, for those with limited time or making very involved responses. Post in the tag #ASAW 2019!

Prompt 1 | February 17-18 | Discovery

How did you learn you were aromantic or arospec? How long did it take to find the label and to accept it? Did it click immediately, or was it a journey of denial and/or mislabeling? How has learning you were aromantic or arospec changed you? Your perception of yourself? How you act around others? Your personal relationships?

Prompt 2 | February 19-20 | Visibility

How has representation (coded or explicit) in media helped you? How has a lack of it harmed you? What would your ideal aro/arospec representation be? What do you think the aro community could do to make ourselves visible to others?What would you like more people to know about aros? If aromanticism and its spectrum were widely known, would you be more open about your arospec identity?

Prompt 3 | February 21-22 | Community

Do you feel the aro community has supported you? Has it helped or hindered you along your journey? Do you interact with other aros often, or seek out spaces with them? What do you like or dislike about the community? Do you like or dislike the greater queer community, and has it helped or hindered you overall? Do you like how small and connected the aro community is, or is that stifling? Do you create your own community spaces?

Prompt 4 | February 23 | Free day!

Stuff you didn’t include in previous prompts and want to talk about, aro-related content, personal stories, experimental creations, anything goes!



Again, we’ll be reblogging a few responses, and if you want us to see yours, tag it with #ASAW 2019!
