OC Pride Day 30 - Aromantic [Demiromantic] Pride

Okay, let's cover what we missed.

Day 26 was questioning pride. This is a day for people who don't know their exact identity yet, whether that be their sexual orientation, their romantic preferences, or their gender identity.

Day 27 was homoromantic pride. Romantic attraction is something usually (but not exclusively) clarified by someone on the asexual spectrum of attraction. Ace people may not experience physical/sexual attraction, but some still seek out/want romantic relationships. Romantic attraction is also sometimes clarified by people who are attracted to multiple genders, because they may only be romantically attracted to certain genders. For example, someone might be pansexual, but homoromantic. Homoromantic pride is a day for people who are romantically attracted to the same gender as themselves.

Day 28 was biromantic pride. This is a day for people who are romantically attached to two genders (usually the two binary genders).

Day 29 was panromantic pride. This is a day for individuals who are romantically attracted to people regardless of their gender.

And now, day 30, which is aromantic pride! This is a days for people who don't experience romantic attraction.  I don't technically have an aromantic character, but I have a character on the aromantic spectrum; Czechia [Hetalia] is demiromantic, meaning he experiences romantic attraction only after a strong emotional bond has been formed.

Question of the day: are you afraid to be alone?

I think Czechia's answer would be no. But as the author, I know the honest answer is absolutely. And ironically, it ties into him being demiromantic. He doesn't experience much romantic attraction nor does he seek it out, but he craves some kind of companionship. That role used to be filled by his sister, who was like his partner in crime, but they've grown apart in recent years. He's definitely scared that he'll never have that moment where it clicks in his head and everything falls into place with that one special person.
