my friend recently broke up and i was blankly like okay. just kinda awkwardly sat and in a moment of desperation sent her a bunch ok break up songs i found in a playlist, a few articles on how to get over a break up, and a few tip videos as well as one of those hoodie-sunglasses-wiimusic videos because i didn’t know what else to do.
My best friend rants to me about her crush and stuff and I’m just kind of like “okay…” But I’m one of those nosy best friends so I actually care about her love life and need to know every detail but I’ll never understand the struggle
I love that scene from brave. I am not aromantic but I am so tired of people putting marriage in such a high stool. Sure. It can be great. But let's talk about individuality first.
Yeah even before I realized I was aromatic I have always new marriage is not for me the thought of engaging in a system based on ownership of woman is gross (in the past :origins of marriage ) no hate to anyone married I just find it creepy and unnecessary
I agree. As an aromantic I'm fully capable of sympathizing with people who posses Romantic interest of all kinds. Romance has its lace in fiction, I just don't think it needs to be soooooooo heavily prioritized
I literally just realized more than ever that Will is definitely an Aromantic Ace and embodies exactly how I feel about friendship and relationships. All these clips are just me.
I think Will in the second season was just trying to recapture much simpler, more innocent times after going through the trauma of being kidnapped and almost killed. His friends are growing up and he wants things to remain the same. He could definitely still get Aro-Ace.
Okay but why is no one talking about the iconic Sherlock scene?! For me, he was the first character I saw that didn't put romantic relationships above everything else.
Never thought of Will being aro... makes a lot of sense actually. I had the same issues, wondering why everyone were obsessed with relationships while I just wanted to play video games with them.
I've never watched Stranger Things, but I related to that clip on a spiritual level and it got me in the feels SO hard. And I headcanoned Merida as aroace super hard before I ever knew the terms "aro" and "ace" existed, which was one of the reasons I liked her so much.
True, but what he says is a call back to someone asked when he was going to settle down and he said he wasn't like his friend to fall in love at first sight, to just go up to a random person and say, cue him saying that whole speech to the closest women, then going back to his friend like nothing happened. That scene fits better there but he said that because he's a womaniser and his marriage fell through going back to being friends as the arguing was ruining their close friendship (bare in mind this is like 5 10 mins after their wedding in the episode due to a 2 year jump, in a season dedicated to their wedding weekend, after a season on their engagement, all showing how perfect they are together. And their not even the main character. It's supposed to be about his best friend meeting the future mother of his children. Which they very barely touch until the last season/8, but until almost the end it's just flash forward and narration, talking about how they are perfect for each other. But like the married couple this ends in the final episode with an undefined flash forward of her suddenly dying slowly from an unknown condition at the end, with the very end being him getting back with his ex, his best friend's ex wife who he had dated years/seasons ago. And the worse thing is that they planned that ending a decade previously as they kids were the same age as the pilot episode, it was a popular show, they didn't have to do it like that, they choose to stretch out the seasons then do a 180 in the final episode and have it more like how I met your step mother.) *Sorry for the fangirl rant sidetrack I actually did have something to say about the actual scene shown* It's even more meaningful when the character in an earlier season started a new holiday after a "near miss" called Not father's Day and through a party. There was a call back to it while he was in the waiting room when the nurse came out and he thought she was going to say it wasn't his, he set off a party popper put on a party hat and shouted happy not father's Day everyone. But then the women corrected him and said it was a girl, that he had a daughter. Then he goes still and goes to meet her and gives her that speech. It's possible the party is a cover up as his mother claims he does want kids and he is just playing tough like always.
I loved that stranger things scene I really relate to that like all my friends talk about is romance and I'm like "damn I'm trying to kill this giant lava gorilla and you want me to worry about girlfriends?"
allosexual/ alloromantic people: let's kiss each other, go on dates, and do romantic uwu things aromantic asexual me: but why....why would you do any of that?
5:05 I know this scene is supposed to be nonsensical regardless, but this is how it truly feels like when someone who I just met had been so platonic to me, or who has been my friend for a while, just randomly confesses romantic feelings to me out of the blue
Gaius: ”Grunhilda has shown a certain interest toward me.” Me: ”She likes you? Well that’s great, right?” **being all positive and happy for them** Me on the inside: ”Oh, that is disgusting. Imagine.. Imagine if they kissed eachother. Ugh!!”
Sherlock is my all time favourite, he's just so relatable~ And 'isn't it romantic' is so good is me when my sister starts going off about her latest love interest 😒
Let me guess: At every love interest she had either been dumped or rejected by them and comes crying over to you everytime, then immediately goes after somone else?
I know the show is probably setting Will up to be gay, which is fine. and he can also be Ace or Aro and Gay. But that scene with Mike, when he talked about just wanting to hangout with his friends, play games and nothing changing , totally screamed Ace/Aro to me.
@@blacat2168 this is short but it’s basically styles of behaviour expressed by a person in an intimate relationship. they’re not a permanent label so much as a helpful set of information on issues you may need to work on when it comes to intimacy with others. the most well-known types are the avoidant attachment style, and the anxious attachment style, avoidant types here will express reticence towards direct affection, may be emotionally unavailable when the time comes to offer intimacy and have put up emotional walls to distance themselves from vulnerability. they’ll be seen as heartless, withheld or maybe cold. looking up the attachment style will offer more information on the behaviour, why and how it occurs, and possible advice on overcoming these barriers. hope this helps! :)
I thought it was a good movie. The character is not actually aro but that particular scene is a very aro move and the whole movie is a parody of romantic comedy
I remember when I was a little kid and I would watch a movie with my family and two characters kissed each other, my father would often say "ew! they're biting each other's faces!" and I know it was more of a joke but I personally think it's a very aromantic thing to say
Honestly now that Will is a confirmed gay character and if he also wasn't hinted (confirmed too) that he is in love with Mike i would've took the aro will hc with no problem
When I watched the stranger things scene I thought Will was in love with him ( which is why he didn't want a gf and wanted to stay and be with him). But this makes more sense. (I'm demi-gray aro and asexual) :)
I'm here to understand more about aros and I don't understand how the clip from How I Met Your Mother is aro, can you help me? Is it because sweet is different from romantic? Or is it just the sweetness with possible partners that is unwanted? What he said to the baby was so adorable, but isn't it romantic too? Maybe being italian doesn't help with understanding the difference between sweet and romantic in a relationship but im trying. Btw I always thought that character was aro because of him not looking for a stable relationship and for how he acted while in one. I just.. don't get why he's percieved as aro in this scene? Did I just miss the point?
Aromantic is about not feeling romantic love. He's saying lines that are usually used for a romantic partner, but saying them instead to his daughter. Reminding us that there are other kinds of strong love than the romantic one.
The scene is from the last episode when Barney meets his daughter. Earlier in the episode he told his friends there would never be anyone that was the love of his life but when he meets his daughter he says those words to her. Reminding us that other kinds of love can be just as strong as romantic one.
that barney one was definitely not aromantic. Guy is in constant relationships through the shows, would've been with the mom of the child, and who is to say that he wont get in another relationships. wack.
I think one can say Barney only rarely feel romantic attraction. So he fits on the aro spectrum. But I also just in general choose scenes with aro mood. It's not necessarily that the characters are clearly aro since there are very few canonically aro characters.

I *loved* brave when I was younger, Merida was the aro rep I desperately needed back then
Someone Unknown Merida was my favorite disney princess
and now I am starting to understand why
no marriage and freedom?
sign me the fuck up
I loved that film so much, even before realising I’m aro
Back then I didn’t know aromantic was an option
Friend: *Crying hysterically*
Me: What’s wrong?
Friend: My boyfriend broke up with me!
Me: Oh... okay...
Oh no! Anyway-
congratulations, you're out of a relationship that wasn't working, truly a situation to be celebrated with ice-cream.

I headcanon Sherlock as aro ace as he screams that to me
Yeah! I loved Brave, but I didn't realize it until that scene in Sherlock when he blatantly said it.
same
seriously! that scene was incredibly moving to me when i first saw it. i had no idea it was coming
He was aro/ace in the books so
I guess you could say that Merida is... arrow-mantic
Good one
lmaooo just like Artemis!
She’s maybe a aro ace arrow ace
Lmao that was actually funny
Aayyee

Lol my friends would say that im gay because i've never felt a thing or have a crush on a girl..
Stranger Things is pretty good. And in season 3, Will was the king of all aromantic people.
SAME everything SAME. im gonna watch strangers things too now xD
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
That isn't just an aromantic moment. It's a beautiful parenting moment. Profound love right there.
True, but what he says is a call back to someone asked when he was going to settle down and he said he wasn't like his friend to fall in love at first sight, to just go up to a random person and say, cue him saying that whole speech to the closest women, then going back to his friend like nothing happened.

Their priorities are not in check concerning the situation you are in
*Relationships are so overrated*
Ya
Yes
Yeh
True
I thought i was the only one who think like this
"Are you feeling what I'm feeling??!"
"No?????"
*Car crashes*
I think he felt that
The clip from 'Isn't is romantic' is exactly how I respond to people when they ask me out/being romantic 😂💚🤍💚
5:24 I remember me and my aro brother watching this movie and when this scene came up and he said, "she did the right thing, math before love"
Is she related to Athena in any way?
Search up Greek gods if you don't know
The awkward pause in the Galavant scene is so funny because that’s what it feels like
i cant stop watching the “i know it’s fine” THE WAY HE DOESNT FLINCH OR HESITATE YESSSSS
i nearly cried the first time i saw that scene, had no idea it was coming at all
ok but the scene in isn't it romantic is literally how it feels when you're aro and everyone is like "
allosexual/ alloromantic people: let's kiss each other, go on dates, and do romantic uwu things
aromantic asexual me: but why....why would you do any of that?
Ayy fellow aroace
5:05 I know this scene is supposed to be nonsensical regardless, but this is how it truly feels like when someone who I just met had been so platonic to me, or who has been my friend for a while, just randomly confesses romantic feelings to me out of the blue
That interaction between Rebel Wilson and the Hemsworth bro is EXACTLY how i feel when people flirt with me omg xD
Yo I've never seen the series but sherlock is a genuine mood when it comes to the romance stuff dang
Love that Merida is a positive aro ace representation :)
Gaius: ”Grunhilda has shown a certain interest toward me.”
Me: ”She likes you? Well that’s great, right?” **being all positive and happy for them**
Me on the inside: ”Oh, that is disgusting. Imagine.. Imagine if they kissed eachother. Ugh!!”
Sherlock is my all time favourite, he's just so relatable~
And 'isn't it romantic' is so good is me when my sister starts going off about her latest love interest 😒
Let me guess:
At every love interest she had either been dumped or rejected by them and comes crying over to you everytime, then immediately goes after somone else?
here you've dropped this👑
YES YES YES
I love this so much!
I remember seeing that Merlin clip and thinking about what an aro mood it was!
Gauis is so aro ace! :D
All the fandom pair Merlin with Arthur and I'm just sitting there thinking : Merlin is absolutely aromantic.
@@nanalove3819 I agree 100%
4:06 the mUSIC
I relate to that Flash moment so hard
I've never even watched Stranger Things but that clip hit way too close to home
man the scene from brave always made me cry for some reason. and now i know why
I know the show is probably setting Will up to be gay, which is fine. and he can also be Ace or Aro and Gay. But that scene with Mike, when he talked about just wanting to hangout with his friends, play games and nothing changing , totally screamed Ace/Aro to me.
I died the second Merlin appeared
this is such positive aromantic content, i've really been needing this. thank you so much for creating this. absolutely made my day.
The amount of crushes I have faked to be popular is unfathomable
" oh that is gross" ( cant say it right) got me dead XD
I can relate to Sherlock so much omg, this show was brilliant!
4:11 is the EXACT conversation i have with my parents whenever the topic of relationships comes up.
made me laugh, I am a demiromantic and I just love this
Thanks! Don't forget part two 😉
I love the scenes from stranger things, how I met your mother.
Also what's the name of the movie with the knight? 😁
It's from the tv-show Galavant. All the names are listed in the description.
Me cuestioning my sexuality and thinking that maybe I'm asexual: Sherlock being my favourite show now makes so much more sense
I'm not aro but that brave scene is my love
Man when I watched Stranger Things season three I related to Will so much
The only reason I'd ever get married: ✨tax benefits ✨
I can't believe you included Galavant. Amazing.
That scene from brave had to be the most relatable as an aromantic
i love this thank you
When you're a demiromantic + an avoidant type in a relationship 😬
What do you mean with "avoidant type"? Genuinely interested.
Omg bitch same 👁👄👁

💚🖤🤍 Aro club
Can I join
Really glad there is videos like these! Thank you for making this : D
i love that dean is included in this! i've always seen him as being aro
I low key thought Will was probably gay or something but it’s today that I realize he might be ace/aro.
"Merida! I forbid it!"
Forbid THIS, mom! *shoves aromantic flag in her face* LMAO
All these clips are so relatable 😂🥺
Don't forget the second and third part
This video was fantastic.
Don't forget to check out part 2 and the just uploaded part 3
Great compilation! Thanks :D
listen, I know the HIMYM scene is like really emotional and stuff, but the look on that baby's face got me cackling
2:27 Never seen that clip or movie but that's hilarious.
It's from the pilot of the show Galavant
The entire show (Galavant) is that hilarious.
I remember when I was a little kid and I would watch a movie with my family and two characters kissed each other, my father would often say "ew! they're biting each other's faces!" and I know it was more of a joke but I personally think it's a very aromantic thing to say
Omg the stranger things scene, I didn’t realize it. Now I love Will more
haha the Merlin one Iv'e always related to lol
It seems to me many aros have an inner Merlin voice even though they don't show it :D
This makes me happy
1:10 oh i felt this one...
that Classic who scene-oh yes
1:42 One of the butterflies has the aro flag colors
Wow good catch. Let's say it's intentional
Merlin is so iconic lol
I just want friends to do crazy shit together
now it makes sense why i loved merida
I'm tired of feeling like shit because I'm aromantic
2:20 the guy is me lol
it's so funny because it's so realistic to me xD
*Merida comes on*
Me: FUCK YEAAAAAHHHHHHH
The stranger things one made me sad
Me too I felt so bad for Will🙁
Honestly now that Will is a confirmed gay character and if he also wasn't hinted (confirmed too) that he is in love with Mike i would've took the aro will hc with no problem
5:06 OMG this movie is SO good
Aromantic 💚!
A lot of these scenes describe me as an aroace guy
*_MeRrridA, don't you lose anotheR aRrRo_*
"So , you Headcanon Mike as Gay Aromantic?"
Me: and Demisexual
I didn’t understand the baby scene. Was it meant to be a burrito?
I could probably do the whole arrow thing TBH
Kinda relate lol... Still confused tho I am aro or not
When I watched the stranger things scene I thought Will was in love with him ( which is why he didn't want a gf and wanted to stay and be with him). But this makes more sense. (I'm demi-gray aro and asexual) :)
I forgot Barry's mom was in Supernatural
I headcannon Ryu Bakura, from Yugioh! As being aromantic and Asexual.
Any suggestions of scene?
