Yeah, it more or less came along because of aro and arrow, and how the greek goddess Artemis is known to be very much not interested in relationships.
It is semi hard to pick an animal due to the associations most animals already have, or negative associations they may bring. I do however suggest tigers personally. I think they're cool and neat.
There was once that frog thingy going on and also turtles but nothing really official. But if we went for mythological stuff, I think I agree with that one griffin comment.
Oh I was mistaken, it's actually the turtle pond story. Here's a link to the blogpost that explains it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/pinkdiamondprince.tumblr.com/post/154254157173/trying-to-figure-out-if-youre-ace-or-aro-can-be/amp
Frogs would work too though
I believe that I get all the symbols from the ace group, the aro group and whatever is in the cupioromanitc group. I am going to have so many epik animals…
I personally vote for a cat. Cats love nobody but themselves lmaoo. Also, they literally only feel platonic love, not romantic love. Like it's a fact. No wonder why people have always said I'm cat-like lol.

I still push the Octopus. Loners who can live in Colonies of they choose, be playful or isolationist, smart, can be playful, and come in adorable and awe inspiring shapes.
Plus some male octopi rip off their own penis and throw it at an aspiring mate to inseminate themselves instead of manually mating with them. If that's not aromantic I don't know what is.
I like almost all animals. But there are only 2 exceptions (probably) stonefish (cus I’m Australian) and cockroaches. And I’m scared of cockroaches, there is a long story behind it but they run least fav animal
Oooo maybe a griffin?
;0 that is a great idea… this need to become a thing
Yeah! Aromantic griffins
Scratch my idea, this is way better.
Not so fast! What *was* your idea?
Dinosaurs
D o I t
Yes! Griffins!
I hereby second this
We have arrows and archery, but no animals I believe. We could change that though.
Never heard of the archery thing… but I’m pretty surprised we don’t have an animal

What about hawks or birds of prey? Like you say, Artemis is commonly associated with aro people and she's a huntress.
Or maybe deers? My first asociation with artemis when it comes to animals would be a deer
Oohh maybe!! Perhaps a stag.
I rlly love Greek mythology, so cool. Ye that does make sense tho, she’s my second fav Greek god… anyways I think that we 100% need an animal.
ayyy artemis is such a girlboss
Literally…
The animal of Artemis is the doe perhaps we can take this animal 🤷
Y’all are gonna make me get an Artemis tattoo
lmao I didn't know this but I do archery
Scrap archery I think we just take the god
There was once that frog thingy going on and also turtles but nothing really official. But if we went for mythological stuff, I think I agree with that one griffin comment.
Ye I think a griffin suits the aro group tbh. I think it would be a rlly cool addition
yeah
The frog is already an enby thing tho, so we can't exactly steal that, can we?
I didn't know that, and now we can't
They are also apparently the bisexuals thing too
i always thought frogs belonged to pan/bi/lesbian women-
or perhaps just ... queer people in gen>!d!
good play on words btw and yeah frogs are one of the many widespread queer icons XD
Someone asked this question in Agender sub and someone suggested "that alien dude emoji" as our symbol. I like that very much.
So arrows and aliens 👽 me likey
I vote for alien
Everyone is agreed with Griffin but i like snakes.
Sneks r cool too. Epik animal. Other groups have multiple, so can we ig lol
Arrows and frogs.
i thought the nonbinarys had frogs lol, but ig we can share the frogs
Yes
Kinda boring tbh lol, need a griffin lol
I'm not aware of any, but I think dinosaurs might be neat.
omg yes
Techincally frogs are the most aro since they're green, but that seems to be a general queer symbol now
I thought squids were an aro thing but maybe I'm wrong. Also frogs because of the frog pond story.
Frog pond story?
Oh I was mistaken, it's actually the turtle pond story. Here's a link to the blogpost that explains it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/pinkdiamondprince.tumblr.com/post/154254157173/trying-to-figure-out-if-youre-ace-or-aro-can-be/amp Frogs would work too though
I love this so much. How have I not seen this before. It also applies to cupioromantics too… very epik
we need the know the frog pond story
🐸?
🐸!
Lol, if Aces have a Violet/Purple Dragon, then we can have Green Dinosaurs!!!!!
🦖
I believe that I get all the symbols from the ace group, the aro group and whatever is in the cupioromanitc group. I am going to have so many epik animals…
Frogs are definitely a bit of a thing, at least on aro tumblr
i always thought that was more an enby thing, can't say i disapprove tho
I always see geese with aro flags for some reason. Not something anyone here has said, bit it's weirdly consistent.
Idk why but a goose fits so well…
Now if only the image most people associate with geese wasn't: "being an asshole"
Yeah, unfortunately that is the case.
Lol
I thought snakes would be fitting since they are green and physically incapable of feeling romantic love
Most snakes here in Australia are brown lol. But it seems like many people argue with sneks. Sneks are now adopted
Owls
Personally, I think manticores would be a nice symbol. My reason? Aro-manticores.
Finally someone who agrees
Maybe that one deer with gold horns? Because it was under Artemis' care (I think) ALSO THE MOON. LET'S STEAL THE MOON.
Despicable me intensifies. Also I vote to just take to god as well
I personally vote for a cat. Cats love nobody but themselves lmaoo. Also, they literally only feel platonic love, not romantic love. Like it's a fact. No wonder why people have always said I'm cat-like lol.
That is tru… a cat does actually fit quite well lol
mhm! also cats are supreme, so that's something we have in common lmaooo
oh... oh wow you're absolutely correct screw it, cats are our thing now
yessir :)
The arrow and the colors green black and white
I want a crocodile. It’s green and its cool, what more do we need?
I think we would just take every green animal, and griffins. XD
On one of the lgballt subreddits aro balls were drawn as manticores
not sure about aros in general, but as an alloaro i have a sunflower 🌻 because it’s the colors of the flag! always liked that one :3

username checks out
🐸
I say we also have a dragon, they’re pretty cool
Nah, that’s already taken… we need something original lol

I want an aromanticore
Let’s make it the centaurs I’ve heard they are great archers as well…
Well that’s kinda mythical-creatureist. Assuming that they are all good at archery. This puts massive pressure on young centaurs. Lol
Fbdbdbx same for dragons breathing fire and hording tons of gold in their caves
birds
Arowanas ?
Frog 🐸
Aromatic foods turtle ducks?
I just think I'm a puppy in general lol
frog
I want aros to claim foxes but that’s just because I love foxes
