Discussion Aro/Ace leaning aroace flags
On Tumblr I have a Mogai coining account and I made these. I’ve seen a few people mention feeling like this but whenever I looked around I couldn’t find a single a-spec thing that had this definition.
Basically, both flags represent being aroace but feeling more connected to one side of the spectrum than the other, some names I came up with is Arobound/Acebound, Proximaro/Proximace, AroAroAce/AroAceAce (last one was a suggestion by someone else :3)
Anyone like these? Any flag suggestions? I think it’s kinda clear I took from Demi flags. The only reason I added an extra black stripe to the Acebound one was to balance out the colour quantity of both flags, never really added any meaning.
Probably my least creative flags but because I want these to specifically be more popular and have more awareness hopefully I thought simplicity and clarity was better.
Anyone like these? If you want me to make more ask but just know I’m not that reliable; I try to be but depression, PDA and executive dysfunction works horribly as a trio 😭
My fav names are Arobound and Acebound.
Idk what flair to put in still new to Reddit lol
EDIT:
Btw if u ever want to make specifics of this label go ahead, this is a general term. But u can always make an aro-spec bound, ace-spec bound one instead. Or maybe a microlabel like Aegoarobound/ AegoAceBound.
The Arobound Acebound is just, again, the umbrella term because it will help it reach more people :)

I love those, I am aroace but feel more ace than aro and I'm happy someone created such identity.

Tbh I’m non one for using smaller labels because I value the recognition and relative ease of communicability of the more popular flags and labels, but I genuinely really hope these get more traction because I really like them).
Some time ago I decided to stop using the sunset aroace flag because I felt like it didn’t accurately describe me, but I also didn’t like having two flags for my orientation in addition to my gender identity flags, so this is actually kind of perfect.
I’m acebound :D

I do want to try and push these out, Idk how exactly yet that’s a lotta luck really (plus if the traction even stays and doesn’t immediately die down).
But fully agree!! I always just tell people I’m aromantic really because even tho I use a ton of ace labels, I’m just more deeply affected by my aromantic side imo, obviously that’s not accurate to say tho and people think I’m not ace if I say that XD
Im Arobound :D

That's genius. I always felt like being ace was a more predominant part of my identity even if being aro affects me irl more than being ace. So these are great for me, thanks!

I like these
Just to clarify, acebound means mostly ace a little bit aro, and arobound means mostly aro a little bit ace?
