Aroace

Aromantic Asexual, often shortened to Aroace or Aro Ace, is a term that refers to a person who is both Aromantic/Aro-spec and Asexual/Ace-spec. Aroace can be used for any individual who identifies with both spectrums. For example, an Aromantic Asexual, an Aromantic Demisexual, an Acespike Frayromantic, and a Lithromantic Greysexual can all be described as Aroace.

Some Aroaces may experience other forms of attraction that are neither romantic nor sexual, such as queerplatonic attraction, alterous attraction, or sensual attraction. If they feel that this attraction is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their Aroace orientation, they may identify as Oriented Aroace or Angled Aroace.

Flags
One of the most popular Aroace flag was made by tumblr user Aroaesflags, attempted and finished between October to December of 2018. The final design was the third revision of the original attempt. The colors of the original were, top to bottom, two shades of purple, green-ish pale yellow, and two shades of blue. It was said to be heavily inspired by biaroace's oriented aroace flag. The first revision changed the purples to pinks and the second revision changed the yellow to white. The final flag starts with an orange stripe at the top, followed by a yellow stripe, a white stripe, and two shades of blue.

The color meanings are as follows : Orange, community. Like blue, it is in between ace purple and aro green on the color wheel, just in the other direction. This represents both the unity of ourselves as aroaces as well as our places in both the aro and ace communities. Yellow, love and relationships that exist outside of conventional and amatonormative ideas of romantic and sexual relationships. White,  wholeness. Used to represent aroaces who are aplatonic, nonamorous, or otherwise not seeking a committed partnership, and also how we are all whole people on our own. Two shades of blue, the aroace identity and the spectrum of aroace identities and experiences. The color is between aromantic green and asexual purple.

This is one of the most popular aroace flags, as it's unique design shows that the aroace identity is something unique and is not just a combination of asexual and aromantic.

Aside from that, there are a lot of other flag designs that have been proposed to represent the combination of the aro and ace umbrellas. Most designs combine some elements from the aromantic and asexual flags, which feature green and purple, respectively.

In 2016, a design was posted by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags that combined the aromantic and asexual flags directly. Another design was later posted to the same account, embedding the aromantic flag in a heart shape, using an older (yellow) design for the aromantic flag.

In 2017, a design was posted by DeviantArt user decaykid, using one less stripe and slightly different versions of the same colors.

In June 2018, two designs were posted by Tumblr user llonnoll, mirroring the fused aromantic and asexual flags to have an equal number of colored stripes.

In July 2018, a collaborative design was posted by Tumblr user itsrainingsomewhereelse, created by themselves and Tumblr user vass-rieh, now vass-junk. This design placed the black stripe at the top, followed by purple, gray, white, pale green, and dark green. The whole flag is for the people who want to use it, are aspec in any way and like the flag.

In August 2018, two more designs were posted on the joint Tumblr account milkshakeflags. These designs both placed white horiztonal stripes in the middle, surrounded by two gray stripes. In one version, the white-gray center was bordered by two purple stripes on top and two green stripes on bottom. In the other version, the top purple stripe and bottom green stripe was changed to black.

In late December 2018, a design was posted by Tumblr user aromagni. This design placed a purple stripe at the top, followed by blue, pale green, white, and gray stripes. According to the introduction post, the blue represents the "intersection of having both ace and aro identities," and the white represents "unity and inclusion."

In April 2019, a design was posted by Reddit user dog_of_society. This design combined the asexual flag with a spade symbol on a green triangle.

In November 3, 2019, tumblr user imoga-pride created an aroace based on this asexual flag. With blue representing aroace-ness and no white stripe (which represented allo allies).

In August 11, 2020, reddit user iyote6 created an aroace flag by combining the green of the aro flag and the purple of the ace flag, with a black spade symbol in front of a diagonal of white grey and black stripes in the corner.

In September 2020, a design was posted by Tumblr user pastelpansies. This design combined varying shades of pastel purple and green, placing a pastel purple stripe at the top, a slightly lighter purple under it, white in the center, a pastel teal stripe, and a slightly darker pastel teal under it. According to the tumblr post, the purple means "acceptance", the lighter purple means "love", the white means "unity", the lighter teal means "peace", and the teal means "dependability". This design combines the colors of the original aroace flags, but does it in a way that's unique enough to show that it is its own identity.

Two alternate aroace flags was made by reddit user elhazelenby on December 14, 2020. One using the dark aro green and the purple from the ace flag, another using the light green of the aro flag and a purple that matches.
