On the upper left a sketch of a tablet can be seen, showing a sketch of two people running away from an angry gryphon. On the upper right is a frog in the colors of the aro flag.

Today we wanna flood the internet with aro*spec vibes!
🐸 🌻 🦝 🍐 💚 🍍
Or at least as much as possible.😄

Whatever you can think of, something creative, a situation or other things – if it’s an aro*spec moment for you, we wann hear about it. (If you’re willing to share that is)

Use #myarospecmoment (and/or #myaromoment #meinarospecmoment #meinaromoment) and tag us @aromanticspectrumvisibilityday 🐸

As inspiration we’ve looked at the @aktiv_aro website aromantik.de, which is a website with german infos and stories around aromanticism.
The sketch in the upper left is part of a mini comic created during #asaw #aromanticspectrumawarenessweek. The promt was “Gryphons”. For @delfi___art this is an arospec moment cause it came to live solely through the prompt and hey, gryphons are a cool aro symbol. The poem on the right came to life as a reaction to @finn.between @fins_wordstorm an environment where an affectionateness-escalator (analog to relationship escalator) was omnipresent. It’s an arospec moment to Finn, cause this was when they felt repulsion about an act they made for the first time.
If you wann see the complete comic, read to whole poem and take a look at other cool stuff too, head over to aromantik.de

Picnic in Prater with AceAroWien (offline)

Sketch by @captain_bonnet showing a picnic blanket laying on grass. The blanket is violet white checkered. On top of it a violet strawberry cake, glasses and plates and drinks can be seen. There are also branches with spade shaped leafs. The whole picture is in green an violet tones.

After celebrating ASVD on August 25th a nice sunday picnic sounds like just the right way to end the weekend? And you just happen to be in austria?

Purrrfect! @acearowien want to savour the summer and celebrate ASVD with a picnic on Sunday 27th starting at 2 pm at the Prater in Wien.🧺🍽

They’ll be spreading their picnic blankets near tram stop “Prater, Hauptallee” (Lini 1). You’ll find the exact position on sunday on their instagram and twitter. You can bring snacks, drinks and picnic blankets.

Important note: This will take place no matter the weather. If neccessary it will be moved to a café. AceAroWien will let you now in that case.

The ASVD-Team wishes you all a nice picnic with sunny weather!😊💚

“Living as a marginal case”? What’s that even supposed to mean? Is it meant to implicate something? Is the title meant to be sarcastic?
