The TENTH weapon in the Orientation Armory–Longbow Aro!
I had too much fun designing a suitably colored bow and arrow for this one! Inspiration was taken from many black and white birds. Keep romantic overtures FAR away with this hot new weapon!
Colors inspired by the Aromantic flag.
Choose your weapon(s) and wield them with pride!

In aid of Asexual Awareness Week, I’ve decided to make a post about autochorissexualityand just what it is.
The term ‘autochoris’ was coined by Anthony Bogaert, and essentially translates to ‘identity-less sexuality’. It is a sub-section of asexuality, which he describes as:
A disconnection between oneself and the object of arousal; may involve sexual fantasies or arousal in response to erotica or pornography, but lacking any desire to be a participant in the activities therein.
Essentially, we like the idea of sex, and/or enjoy reading/writing/watching sexual content, but don’t actually experience attraction or want to have sex with anybody.
You might be autochorissexual if:
You get aroused by sexual content but don’t actually want to engage in any sexual activities yourself.
You masturbate, but are neutral or repulsed by the idea of having sex with another person.
When you fantasize about sex, you envision people other than yourself, and/or you view it in third person, as though you’re watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through your own eyes.
You predominantly or entirely fantasize about fictional characters or celebrities, rather than people you actually know.
You identify as asexual and feel no sexual attraction to people, but enjoy masturbating, are aroused by sexually explicit content, and/or have sexual fantasies.
This isn’t an exhaustive checklist, and ultimately nobody can give you a label but yourself. But hopefully this post has brought you a little closer to understanding autochorissexuality, whether you are asexual, grey/demi, questioning, confused, or just wanting to raise awareness.
Here are some further resources if you want to learn more:
If you’ve found this post informative, please signal boost to help raise awareness and understanding about all the different aspects and subsections of asexuality!
I saw this magazine in a grocery store and I immediately started freaking out. I have no idea what the article is about, because I was leaving checkout and had to rush out of there, but just knowing that asexuals are spotlighted in one that’s carried in stores makes me very happy.
There are asexuals who find themselves attracted to television characters as they get to know them over the course of a season, but feel no stirring in their loins for the actors who play those characters.
That explains so much
If you don’t understand asexuality please read this. It’s so great and you get to see what an asexual is thinking in the midst of it all
Here are the inaugural TEN weapons in my ORIENTATION & GENDER ARMORY series! Each weapon was designed using the flag of the orientation represented for inspiration!
