💚💜Turning Out |🤍| Complete Aro/Ace Anything MAP💜💚

[@Bolitamurcielago]

AHHHH I WAS IN CLASSES WHEN THIS PREMIERED I COULDN'T BE THERE DAMN :C ANYWAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME IN THIS PROJECT, my aromantic identity was actually first reflected in the character I used, before I even considered myself aromantic I already added that label to my character, It was not really a decision, my character just sort of told me that he is aromantic, and by growing up with this character I realized that I'm as well aromantic, this is why I love the idea of this map so much: many times, is characters who tell us first, either our sonas, our ocs, or characters we love from other media, Characters have such a great power of helping us grow and learn, to not feel alone or to have something on screen or on your own paper/mind and say "OH! I feel this way as well" or "OH! I love this character, it resonates with me in a way that's so special to me", using an anything MAP to let aro/ace express this feeling is such a great tool, and you can feel in every part this experience, this love towards this identity we share. And even if we share all one thing in common, the way we experience the aro/ace experience is diferent between each other, which is also the magic of MAPs: everyone has diferent styles, diferent stories, diferent ways to portrait these stories through visuals! this is why I'm extremely thankful to be part of these, and I sincerely, with my whole heart, thank you for doing this

[@HarvestBrook]

This is exactly what I was hoping to get out of this MAP, and I'm so glad it means so much to you!! ❤ I had the exact same thing with one of my OCs, who I made aroace and used to vent and express myself before figuring out years later that I was as well, which is why it's always been so important to me to write character like this and why I wanted to host this!

[@BluezPlant]

Dang this is one of those comments i'm gonna reminicise a lot throughout my "OC phase" and life in general

[@MilettyAnimations]

Your comment made me a little teary eyed. You put it in a way I had never seen it before. I watched the MAP again after reading your comment, and it felt so much more meaningful this time. (It was great before, but this time it was amazing!) Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@Aurora_Animates]

Thanks for this. I consider myself straight rn but sometimes I feel a bit behind or confused. So mabey I am aro ace. But in the end it won’t effect me as a person :)

[@canvas4708]

So true though! I crafted an OC (now sona) for an OC art competition and randomly decided to make them Panromantic and Non-Binary. Two months later, I came out as Non-Binary and realized that I wasn't Lesbian; I was in fact Pan. I was oblivious to the fact that my character had the same orientation and gender as me until I saw this comment. 💀😂😊So thanks for enlightening me

[@whatdoinamemyself8300]

Im so glad aro/ace people are getting more recognition. I told my friend I was aro and ace and she went on a whole rant on why the sexuality was invalid. Knowing theres other people like me makes feel alot better about the situation :) Thank you for hosting this beautiful MAP!

[@notaurea]

what??? I genuinely don't understand how your friend thinks that. And yeah, this MAP is beautiful!

[@Firefly_MakesArt]

This is such a sweet, emotional masterpiece. You can rlly feel the emotion. Phenomenal work to everyone. I'm so happy it's finished! I've been waiting for this.

[@caveworfs]

SEEING EVERYONE'S PARTS PUT TOGETHER GENUINELY MADE ME TEAR UP everyone did such an incredible job with telling their stories and the love and care in these parts shows so much... this project is so so beautiful, thank you so much for hosting and it has been such a pleasure to have been a part of it!!!

[@Blizzardheart12]

As an aroace kid I’ve always wondered why every character I saw got pushed to have a love interest. It was always frustrating to grow attached to a character I relate to and then they suddenly get a partner or crush. Thanks for this MAP, it makes me feel a lot better that there are others who are aroace as well

[@xavier_prince9903]

I love how all the animators have represented the aro/ace community! As someone who's questioning whether they are aromantic, this beautiful piece made me tear up. I really feel like there should be more stories focused on friendship being equal and displayed like relationships, but on top of that, just generally being able to openly express ones friendship without being labelled as 'dating' or 'partners'. I thank each and everyone of the people who worked on the team to make this awesome M.A.P, and thank you all for helping me refelct. Along with representing and bringing this M.A.P to life! Have a good day/afternoon/evening/night

[@villax5376]

"just generally being able to openly express ones friendship without being labelled as 'dating' or 'partners'." Say it louder for the people in the back!

[@thatoneaveragepal]

As an AroAce individual myself, this is really touching to watch! And it's really relatable for me as well. The artists did fantastically and it was done so soon! Great work to everybody who contributed to this project

Seeing Hollyleaf portrayed as an ace/aro character makes me love and relate to her even more.

*ASEXUAL PANIC* thank god we are finally getting representation within aromantic and asexual community! i love every participant involved in this and i appreciate this map for showing our sexuality

[@iialxveii]

as someone who is aroace im so happy to see that theres a whole map about the aro/ace community. this made my day!

[@BumbleTus]

This turned out (hehe) so LOVELY!!! Everyone's parts were so beautiful and packed with emotion. Been excited for this one and it's just great.

[@TumblingDarkling]

This was such an amazing project to be a part of, thank you all for letting me join, every part was so beautiful and just a great representation of the community!! Brings tears to my eyes and I know this will be a video I will return to multiple times!! 🖤💜🤍

[@azulortelli8384]

As someone who literally just came out as asexual, having this MAP just makes me super emotional. It's so beautiful and everyone did so good with their parts!!! It makes me feel really seen and validated for who I am, thank you all

[@alywayart]

projects focusing solely on aro/ace representation is so rare, so thank all of yall for this. it means a lot to me

[@SharpScales]

As someone who is still figuring things out but who thinks she might be aroace, this is wonderful! Everyone who worked on this did such an amazing job, and the representation is lovely!

[@NettIefang]

Oh wow, this finished fast! This project is really touching, it's always so awesome to see some aro/ace content since it's so underrepresented in media!

[@kinnoyu8448]

As someone who identifies as asexual but struggles deeply with it I always heavily appreciate ace rep. I'm in a serious relationship, but my body just doesn't _react_ to anything really. I feel like I'm even more fucked up and I need more medication just to be what I'm supposed to be and react how I should. I struggle so much with reminding myself that it's okay that my body doesn't react to intimate behavior and that I'm not prone to it and that's fine that my body is like that. But it can still feel so isolating and it's so hard to believe that there's nothing wrong with the fact that I don't have a physical reaction regardless of how much I want to. It's always a bit of a relief to see asexuals (and of course aromantics!) Receive validation. Thanks, this was a beautiful MAP put together by such talented people! ❤

[@wompwompwompwompwompwompalienz]

all blessings to you man!

[@motheatencrow9654]

i personally have no idea why but this map made me emotional but i would like to think that its because of the song used. it strikes something into my heart that made me tear up and then just pairing it with everybodys part of their journey of realizing their identity is super powerful. big cheers for everyone who was in this map, its very touching and theres a lot of love in each part :]

[@bluesusername]

SAMREEE LOL idk why it made me emotional usually I don't get emotional over animations🧍‍♂️

[@rockyclouds2]

Who else just resonates with the line 'you say I turned out fine, but I think I'm still turning out'? Or is it just me and my confused self?

[@ratter1023]

FUCK. I knew it would made me emotional, but now I'm sitting here crying. There's still so little aspec things out there and to see myself in a map is just something else.

[@Xenyca]

This MAP is so incredible. The song fits so well, and the color pallet is amazing. But the animation--everyone did so incredibly amazing! So much effort was clearly put in, and it turned out so incredibly well! Great job everyone! And the thumbnail is so cute. I'm also so happy to see aro/ace rep in such a beautiful form, something we rarely get. Thank you 💜🤍🖤🤍💚

[@MilettyAnimations]

This map was a DELIGHT, both to watch and participate in. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

[@Sunnyfall]

Wasn’t able to make the premiere but honestly, I’m glad, because now I’ve had the chance to watch and rewatch each part and how they all flow together with the music and little details. It’s truly gorgeous, and of course heartwarming. As an aroace person myself it felt especially poignant but even with my own identity aside, the song and parts all feel so raw, emotional, and open about the uncertainty, discomfort, and joy that can all come with just finding out and being who you are.

[@phantomcat7990]

Ah yes yes yes! Oh its gorgeous! Asexual characters are so underrepresented in media, and Aromantic characters like, don’t exist in media at all? And in the rare occasions when an aroace character does pop up, the writer just ends up “fixing” them and giving them a partner in the end. Or making them meet “the right person.” Or writing that character to face no issues with their sexuality. Aromantic and/or Asexual people _do_ face issues. The feeling that there’s something wrong, that we’ll never be happy because things like experiencing romance and bedroom stuffs being perceived as the “end all be all” of life, and that we’ll never know true happiness otherwise. Remember all, that isn’t true. We don’t need those things to live our lives fully and happily. And love comes in many different forms, and can be expressed in many different ways. And also remember that it’s tough to be a god!

[@ticholopeluche]

I don't think I faced issues with the fact that I'm asexual and aromantic, but the problem is that everyone else does. What I mean is that everyone expects you to be sexually and romantic interested in other people and as you said it's like "the goal of life" having a stable relationship and start a family in our sociaty, when that might not been for everyone (being virgin is an insult for many people). I literally don't care about sexuallity, if you ask me what I am the last thing I would mention is aromantic or asexual because I just usually don't even think about that. I think everyone is so concern about others sexuallity that they forget that not feeling sexual/romantic atraction is one of the posibilities. There are so many other things that are much more important for me, that I really don't feel part of lgtb+ community. I don't like people asking again and again if you like girls or boys and that is perfectly ok, not even considering that you might not like either or if you have "discovered who you are" like if sexuallity is the most important thing and you can't be happy with yourself or know who you are until you know what is your sexuallity. Or everyone trying to find out who you like in school (like classmates, friends,parents, etc) specially if you are a teen, and when you answer that you don't like anyone they said "I said the same when I was your age, you'll see that when you grow up you'll eventually like someone" or that you are lying, when I knew I was not interested in that, I didn't feel that and I also didn't feel the nessesity to feel that. I remember being surrounded by other girls talking everytime about who they like or a date they have and it was quite anoying, until I found good friends that despite not being asexual they talk about many other things I like spending time with them. I think the only issue I face myself is that I don't want anyone to fell for me obviously, because who likes breaking someone hearts? Specially if it's a good friend. Fortunalely I haven't had that problem. But I just never feel bad about not liking anyone but everyone around me seems to think that I should, however, my friends and my parents are ok with that now.

[@ticholopeluche]

Also, about representation in media, I feel that many times is the fandom who pressures the author to give every character a couple (asexual/aromantic or not). I feel that a lot when I see Peridot for example, it's like nobody wants her to be asexual/aromantic and are convinced she is in a relationship with Lapiz just because they get on well and are room mates, when in reality how many people are roomates with friends to pay the bills easier when you move for the first time? Also many people were convince Spongebob was gay when he was announced to be part of the lgtb+ community but it turned out he's asexual 🤣 That's just what I see from my point of view but I honestly don't now many cases of ari ace repensentation and less cases about aro ace representation that was "cancelled" in the end by giving that character a romantic partner. Do you know cases in which that happened? Honestly, I don't, so please let me know if you have more info, I'm curious 👀

[@phantomcat7990]

@@ticholopeluche hello! To answer your question about media, it’s less of a ‘character was confirmed to be aromatic’ and more of a ‘character that had been shown to be uninterested in romance or even disliking the concept of it finding out they were “wrong” to feel that way when they find love in the end’ kind of thing. I can definitely see that the way I worded it isn’t the greatest, but I’m not really sure how best to rephrase it? I mean, I guess I just did rephrase it a moment ago, I still don’t think I phrased it well. (I’ve always had issues with expressing my thought process sorry) But the examples you gave basically sum up what I was thinking. With characters who are seen to be friendly with each other, or spend lots of time together being loved by the consumers of that media more because they would make a cute ship rather than being loved because they have a lovely bond. But in regards to the creators of the media themselves, it’s again more of them making a character that seems disinterested in the idea of having a romantic partner, then giving them one randomly with no build up to this relationship at all. It’s can sometimes feel like a punch to the gut y’know? Because often times I find myself becoming invested in a character, someone who is well written and interesting and has an interesting story and personality. And then, if this character gains a romantic partner, it feels all sorts of wrong. Their personality completely changes, if they’re a witty character they become a bumbling idiot. If they’re a introverted character they become an extrovert. If they have priorities and issues they have to deal with, it’s pushed to the back so we can get a romance subplot. Often times this subplot including the person in love acting terribly to their friends and family for the sake of this love interest they barley even know. And this is generally viewed as a positive thing. When you love a character, you tend to project onto them. Not everyone does this, but I do. It feels.. comforting. Finding a sense of relatability to someone you admire. And often the main thing that makes me drawn to a character is when they have a lack of interest in romance. Whether it be explicitly stated or just implied, it makes me feel seen. So when that character is reduced to something that you can’t even recognize due to the incessant need for a romance side plot, it’s… disheartening to say the least. I’m really sorry if this didn’t answer your question, I know it’s a bit rambly, but I’m not really sure how else to explain how I feel when this happens. I don’t think I quite scratched the surface to how I feel about it, but hey, feelings are complicated and untangling them is too.

[@zafrasaber]

This map deserves 1 million views at least. I pretty much never cry from anything, never really have before like this at least, and holy shit did this hit me hard. Even though we may seem to not go through as much as the rest of the lgbtq+ community, we do. WE go through just as much as the rest of them, have suffered just as much prejudice and hate, and are just as worthy of being proud and happy with ourselves as others. I love y'all, allies and fellow aro/ace friends. I wish you all luck on your life's journey and path towards finding yourself if you haven't yet, or, if you already have, stay proud. You deserve it.

[@strawberrystarviz5407]

I wish there was more representation of aroaces, almost everything excludes them, even the “love is love”, what about the people who don’t feel certain love feelings?

And to everyone out there who doesn't think they have support, look around a bit, you might find it in some unexpected places! You are valid and amazing, no matter what your identity is. Also, amazing art to all the artists involved!

This is a wonderful map, being Aro/Ace myself this hit home- the song, the characters, and the stories painted- just muah chefs kiss. Amazing animators, artists, and map creators all in this one project- my favorite part is always the splendid result! Being Aro/Ace is something that took me a while to accept about myself, but my friends around me are supportive and so am I in return. This is, and I’m being honest, the first Aro/Ace map I’ve ever come across. But frankly I’ve never gone specifically looking for one, yet I’ve been around on yt for years. I. Love. This. So. Darn. Much. Please please please, do some similar maps in the future- anything within the LGBTQ+ community is already in my favorites. And now this song is going to be put onto my playlist-

[@noirenard_]

I’m so glad I had the chance to be in this MAP ! The final result is stunning, everyone did such a good job ! I think it’s so great to get projects that are focused on aro/ace visibility, most pride month MAP are mostly about mlm and wlw relationships and characters so I think it’s good to have occasions to give some representation to less known parts of the LGBT+ community. Anyway, thank you so much for hosting this amazing MAP and well done to all the other participants (and also all those who did entries for the thumbnail contest) for making this amazing project 💚💜🤍

This is so wonderful! I loved watching all the individual parts come out, and now they flow so well in the finished project! It really surprised me to see a project like this come out tbh as it often feels like Aro/Ace people just aren't known about or validated, so seeing this project grow and be completed means a lot. I'm sure a lot of people including myself are gonna be able to look at this and feel supported by the amazing work shown here!

[@brew-berry-arts]

I love this so much!! It’s sad how little representation there is for us aro/ace’s. It’s a real struggle trying to find out who we are. I spent months flipping from sexuality to sexuality because I was lost, believing I was bi or pan until I found out who I truly was. Thank you so much for this it means so much to us! 💜🤍🖤

[@Naravayax]

This makes me so happy to see Aro/ace people being represented :D!

[@nitreonandfunchannel5678]

As a Demi-Bisexual, I’ve struggled for a while with my sexuality. I was definitely very Aromatic when I was younger(up until I was around maybe 15?)I would get made fun of and questioned by other’s as to why I never seemed to be romantically interested in other people. I didn’t feel really that attracted to other people or felt the need or desire to be in a relationship like that- I remember I tried dating a guy in middle school to try and seem “normal” and to maybe try and see what my sexuality was? I didn’t feel comfortable at all with him- I decided that I was Bisexual when I was 14 but I still didn’t care for romantic relationship’s- It wasn’t till I was about 16 that my sexuality took a big shift- I fell in love with my best friend. I didn’t really realize that I was- but when she confessed to me I didn’t know how to respond to it? I eventually decided to give it a shot. And now I’m 20 and we’ve been together since then, and I plan to be with her for as long as possible. After we started dating, I realized that I was still Bi, but that I was also Demisexual! But I feel like for years I never really acknowledged my Aromantic year’s- cause it was a big part of the beginning of my life- for almost all of my teenage year’s and all of my childhood- Sexuality is definitely fluid, but that doesn’t mean that all people who are Ace or Aro will change, some may stay that way forever and you know what? That is perfectly fine!😊

I’m crying this is so beautiful and made me feel proud of my ace identity for the first time!!

[@PawfulOfWaffles]

To be honest it took a really long time for me to accept that I was aroace. Asexual was easy, I knew sex was a no-no for me, but aromantic...? no, I couldn't be! Afterall, how could a girl so desperate for love not experience that attraction? Well, turns out, after a painful time of denial and hurting myself with a relationship I didn't actually enjoy being in, yes, I'm aromantic too. Not immediately, but shortly after me and my partner were able to maturely break things up. Him and I still remain friends, though.

[@autumncolourss]

OHHMYGOSH HOW COME I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS?? The art, the emotions- this whole thing is incredible! I’m aro/ace myself, and seeing so many people relate and talk about it is really good to see ❤️ amazing job everyone!

This map never fails to make me cry

[@pigeonlegs7738]

oh my gosh this is absolutely gorgeous!!! as an aro/ace person you so rarely see yourself represented anywhere, and this really spoke to me! i really enjoyed all of the parts showing characters accepting other characters' identities or them suggesting that "hey this might be you" or "hey im like this and you might be too!" i also really liked how a lot of the parts showed the struggle behind realizing your identity as an aro/ace, which is something not a lot of people acknowledge. the failed relationships, the frustration from your peers, the frustration from yourself, all of that is typically just brushed under a rug, but it was all addressed here! anyways what a wonderful job done to all of the artists who worked on this!

[@candarus_collective]

Welp, this made me cry real tears. Ow. My eyes sting. Really nice to see some love for this song and the aro and ace communities.

[@owllosaurus]

As a fellow aroace, this feels soo nice to see 🫶

[@elisabethcheesedragon]

Mousefur from warrior cats helped me come out as AroAce and so many other characters have made me feel accepted since then.

[@warriorcatkitty]

This was AMAZING!! Everyone did a phenomenal job on their parts!! Aa, this makes me so happy

[@Deskwrapped]

This is such a beautiful interpeption of this song!! i absolutely love ajr, and its cool!! im not on both spectrums, but I am on the asexual spectrum!!

[@PlagueMoo]

[@crowla]

What a great MAP! I really enjoy how personal and honest all of the parts feel. Thanks everyone for sharing your worlds. It's beautiful and perfect and you never know who this will help.

[@peacecatis1923]

Its sad so many people dont understand ace especially because its a wide spectrum of people and feeling so its nice to see something like this

[@grobyna]

This song was stuck in my head forever, and listening to it in this context made TOO MUCH SENSE!! ( Almost Dollars lmao sorry ) This rep is also too important, I didn't know you hosted this beautiful thing, I only saw one part of this, But the color palette strangely fits!! Ether way this is my jam 🖤🤍🤍💜 🖤🤍🤍💚

[@Alfazoing]

I MISSED THE PREMIERE SADLY BUT AAA SEEING IT ALL PUT TOGETHER PUT THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE :]] Tysm for letting me participate, it was great to be on this map!! :D

[@VigilTheProtogen]

I'm not aro or ace but I absolutely love this compilation. Adorable color palette of lavender and lichen, so many beautiful art styles, so many different representations of friendship being enough.

[@Kestrelbee]

This MAP is fantastic, everybody did an AMAZING job 😭😭💜🤍🖤

[@Stripedfern]

AAAARGGHHH this is so good I started crying and now I can't stop :,)

[@MoodyDeathBeastPZ]

I am happy to have participated in this map! I cried with joy! you are all wonderful and cool!! thank you very much! 🙇‍♂️❤️🌺✨

[@LUNARTEMPEST]

ive watched this so many times. it almost made me cry so many times, cause we are all just kids ;-;. i used to listen to this in my childhood and it brings back so many memories, this is an absolutely beautiful project.

[@wompwompwompwompwompwompalienz]

i fucking LOVE THIS, i’m dating an asexual too! how could an entitled idiot hate someone for their discomforts? god. bless the aces with love.

[@lizardparty_]

for whatever reason ive only just realized i havent commented on this yet somehow so 🥹 this map means so so very much to me as a person who has only recently come to terms with being aroace. it just makes me so very happy and its amazing to see representation like this, as well as with a song that also means a lot to me. this map had prettyyy recently come out around the time i got into a relationship with someone in an attempt to repress my aromanticism and immediately realized how uncomfortable i was. this map was one of the first things i watched after and it comforted me a lot. thank you to everyone who participated for creating something so special, it truly means the world :')

[@phoebeisthebestest]

as somebody who's aroace, this map means so so much. Every artist did such a wonderful job.

[@EeveeKat035]

WOAH! THIS MAP IS INCREDIBLE!! I've been trying to find an aro/ace map (because I identify with it and need validation) and I'm SO GLAD that some actually exist! I'm currently thinking about rehosting my old aro/ace map. Anyways, getting off-topic. I really like this map and hope to see more aro/ace maps in the future :) All participants did a fabulous job!

[@hogtrot7955]

All of the art is amazing! This MAP looks so good!! Great job to everyone who participated!!
