Bonus Episode - Check-In & QPRs
por Abigail Chandos
Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! We bring to you our first ever bonus episode which delves into aromanticism and asexuality, queerplatonic relationships, and the experiences of the aro and/or ace spectrum hosts of this romantasy pod. Also! This episode heralds the debut of Editing Cassie! "The queerness of being aro/ace comes not just from decentering the cishet couple but of rejecting the placement of the romantic & sexual partner at the top of a relationship hierarchy, and valuing platonic and other relationships just as intensely." - what Cassie might have said during the episode if she was more verbally eloquent, but she's a writer before being a speaker and didn't practice this speech beforehand.
