The Joy of Friendship

This week is Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.

Aromantic people may experience little or no romantic attraction. Aromanticism is valid, diverse, and an important part of the LGBT+ spectrum.

#AromanticAwarenessWeek #AromanticVisibility

A comic depicting a character wearing an outfit with the colors of the aromantic flag, looking absent-mindedly into the distance. A narration box states: "I don't know if it's because I'm cynical, because I'm anxious about most things, or because I'm aromantic, but..." The character is revealed to be looking at two people getting married, together with her own spouse and an assembly. The narration continues: "I never understood how people can so confidently talk about their relationships like they're eternal." The bride getting married states: "We'll be happy together forever!" as the crowd, including the spouse of the aromantic character, exclaim: "Aaaaw!!" The aromantic character, still looking absent-minded, thinks to herself: "Huh... That's very extreme. I couldn't say that at our wedding..." The aromantic character is then seen in a different outfit, still with the aromantic flag colors, thinking to herself. The narration comments: "Incidentally, once in a while I have to remind myself that at the end of the day, romantic relationships are in about as much risk of ending someday as friendships are, so us aromantics aren't necessarily any less safe from loneliness than others. Romance is just put on such a pedestal of life investment and "foreverness" that sometimes I forget."

I guess "Till death do us part" still does a lot of heavy lifting today, huh.

I dunno. Random shower thoughts that kinda make me wonder where I stand in life sometimes. Don't know if any other aros can relate at all.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of the tarot card the Ace of Wands, done in Aromantic colours (dark green, light green, white, grey, and black), in the style of my Octopus Tarot. The wand is fluorescent yellow, as all magic items are in my tarot, and is the stem of a green and white flower, with a leaf and bud growing off to the right, indicating the flowering of new creativity. The wand is held up from an ocean by a black octopus arm, and a ribbon off kelp is wound around the wand, the end of which is blowing to the right. In the background is the shore, the beach, and the sand dunes beyond, all in grey tones, with the dawn just starting behind the dunes (just before the sun comes up), which shades from yellow to blue, with the last of the stars still visible at the top of the card. The flower has 12 petals, six pale green/white, six darker green, and the cardinal points of the compass are marked by letters (clockwise from top) E, S, W, and N. E is at the top, as the sun is about to rise directly behind the flower. The compass directions speak of choices to be made. Underneath the image is a band of of the Aromantic colours, then the card title Ace of Wands in grey letters on white, bordered by silver top and bottom. The entire card is bordered in metallic green. The Ace of wands signifies the start of new things; friendships or creative projects, maybe a new phase of life. Good things are on the horizon. The wand is blooming in anticipation of new opportunities to explore. References: Rider-Waite Tarot deck, “The Aces”, by Justin on Medium.com.

#postaday2025 #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart #art #Aromantic #Aro #LGBTQIA+ #Pride …I fixed the colour values on my Octopus Tarot Ace of Wands! I want to work on it some more, but I need to ponder. 💚🤍🩶🖤

The wand is glowing, b/c each magical item in the tarot glows. The background is sunrise.

Jiracu my green gryphon oc. His wings are seen spread out and brushing off closely to the viewer. She has her sharp beak opened and forest green crown feathers riled up almost like she is pouncing. He feathers are adorned by various jaguar rosette patterns. Behind him is a part of his wing with subtle aro flag colors fading out into the background.

🍃Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!! #ASAW 🍃
Can't do something more for arospec week this year but I offer my gryphon Jiracu who was designed based on the aro colors

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, February 15th-21st!

For those that don't know: while asexuality is a sexual orientation, aromanticism is a romantic orientation, and the two don’t necessarily correlate. Someone may be asexual but not aromantic, or vice versa, or (1/2)

a digital illustration of a chibi calico cat running at the left side of the viewer. She has a billowing arospec flag in her mouth and wears a aro flag with a golden heart pin bandana around her neck. arched text over the cat says "happy aro week!". Everything is on a lime green background.

Happy Aro Week (especially to the Black Aros)!

Happy #AromanticAwarenessWeek! 💚🤍🖤

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (ASAW) is an annual, international event meant to spread awareness and acceptance of aromantic spectrum identities and the issues we face, as well as making more people aware of our existence while celebrating it

A crop from an illustration commissioned from Kylee (kyleenim.myatproto.social) of Nakine Matsuba when she's young being carried by her father while she eats an ice cream reminiscent of a casteliacone. She has chin length blond hair, red eyes, and is wearing a raglan-like shirt with white chest and muted red sleeves and circular emblem in the center.

A crop from an illustration commissioned from birdko.art of Nakine Matsuba, a little older than the previous image (around 8 y/o). She is passed out on her back for a nap on tatami flooring and drooling. She is wearing a red floral yukata inspired dress. Hakumei, a shadow-cat like creature can be seen in the bottom right staring at her (or probably sleeping) as it generates a cool breeze in the summertime.

An illustration commissioned from nushdeco.bsky.social of Nakine Matsuba playing off the lo-fi girl image. She is seated at her desk in a muted brown and green sweater as she takes notes while listens to music next to the window, where Reinaya's skyline can be seen and the Vermillion Roost in the distance. Zero, her kuraima in a ferret form, unwinds from her shoulders to pour her more tea out of the way of her note taking.

A lightly cropped bust illustration of Nakine Matsuba commissioned from mimidrws.bsky.social overlaid a red sparkly triangle in the background. She is glancing at the camera with a blank if not lightly bitch faced (complimentary) expression. She is wearing a taupe shirt, her fancy headphones are around her neck, and a leather billed flat cap. Her blond hair is long and over shoulder length and she has loose bangs.

It's a new year it's a new #AromanticAwarenessWeek it's also time for more of Nakine art posting.
