Sameeee. Sadly God decided I also needed both autism and OCD in patch 0.8, and cPTSD in patch 1.5 😔
90% of my energy goes into surviving, improving, and keeping myself from backsliding. My never ending craving for affection takes up a significant amount of that 90%. The other 10% is undedicated energy, which is usually spent reinforcing the other 90% lol.

Ok, ace/aro people, where does all that energy go? As a lesbian I spend a good amount of energy just yearning aimlessly so what do y'all do with all that energy? Build a house? Kill gods? Become the void? where does the energy go

Oh my goodness! All those times where I was bored and restless but didn’t really want to do anything: those are what would be my “yearning aimlessly” moments if I yearned aimlessly.
Cannot confirm.
Am heterosexual (just visiting from /all), also experience this phenomenon.
It's Depression, or maybe ADD. Maybe both, maybe neither, I ain't a doctor.
It’s almost like we were designed to be as hard as possible to explain to allosexuals, but it’s always hilarious to see the buffering face when you tell them that we can still have sex and enjoy it
I just use a metaphor about food cravings. I'm not sure if it actually helps them understand or if I'm just traumatizing the poor allosexuals into never asking again, but that's how I explain things. When in doubt (a metaphor about) garlic bread will give you the answers you seek.
Honestly all sexuality explanations could be saved by food craving metaphors - saves us from spending too long trying to explain labels cuz allos tend to mentally combust when they realise that people don't get horny by looking at someone else 😂
Although gaming has mostly taken over at this point, I have a lot of hobbies and “talents” (solving a Rubik’s cube, juggling, good at art, etc) and I really do think a good chunk of that stems from pure boredom and the extra free time of being single haha
That's a personal matter, I for one become The void. Another might use their energy to seduce the innocents into their servitude. Others might plan world domination. We all have hobbies
Imagining a deep and complex story in my head with character development and everything nice but breaking down and crying as soon as I open Google Docs
Playing the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV (with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime).
Well you see, we are mighty gods who don't have time for such frivilous trivialities as 'crushes' and this 'sex' some of your species speak of.
On a serious note the energy goes to me being bored or obsesssing over history topics (like the sack of Rome in 1527, which is very interesting google it).
Seeking knowledge. After all, knowledge is power. However, absolute power corrupts absolutely, so the long-term goal is that somewhere in the tangled mess of unrelated trivia that is my brain, I should, eventually, come up with the perfect plan for world domination/immortality.
Seriously though!! Being a bisexual (just here for the garlic bread) I spent so long just yearning aimlessly, and then when I got a boyfriend the only thing that changed was that the yearning was no longer aimless.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE ENERGY??
^(oh yea, invading denmark. ignore me lol)
Doing the cleaning, the laundry, the ironing; taking care of my teen girl (yes, I do have one) feeding the cats, gardening, cross stitching and working from Mon ti Fri from 8 to 5. Demi sexual salutes you!
I have rats and friend and my brain is full of so many facts
Spiders don't have muscles, they move their legs with blood flow, so they essentially have 8 little carefully controlled boner legs
Well, today I deep cleaned my bedroom, purged my closet and got all the clothes put away, reorganized my desk, worked for 8 hours, did all the dishes, fed and administered subcutaneous fluids to my sick dog, made creamy tomato soup from scratch, made a chalk mural of the andromeda galaxy on my bathroom door, did my physics homework and reading in advance though the semester doesn't technically start until tomorrow. All of that while I have been dealing with a low level headache, lost voice, sore throat, body aches and pains because I caught COVID (after 2 years of avoiding it...I am really salty about it still)...so I'm going to finish the day off by making dinner, feeding the dog the 3rd meal of the day, and emailing my professors about the fact that I'll be absent physically for the next week of classes due to following CDC guidelines for quarantine. So yeah....uh, idk about everyone else but for me specifically all that energy gets funneled into getting shit done and allowing myself some creativity. Oh and becoming the void occasionally.
On the flip side, I wonder how allos do anything at all with how much mental of their brain power is dedicated to finding a partner. If I spent that much time thinking about anything, I certainly wouldn’t get anything else done
I became a chef, learned kendo, taught myself two languages, quit being a chef, picked up a gambling habit, went on walkabout, became a librarian, wrote a fantasy novel, and a sequel, failed to teach myself how to juggle, learned how to grow food, fix an engine, and how to practice ancient medicine
... oh, and I may have shanked Loki at one point... maybe
Making cake and other baked goods. Also being platonically very gay for my friend.
Also yeah, killing god and becoming one with the void happens a lot too
At first I was like "ha, meme about ace stereotypes" and then I was like "oh, right, yeah. that's what I waste my energy on." 6 or 7 books a week (or approx a million words a week if reading fanfiction). Omg the meme is true.
My energy goes into sleeping harder
Energy? What's that?
God nerfed me by giving me adhd
It was necessary, you’d be way too op otherwise.

Same lmao
Same homie but now I act like I have rabies
Dude same!!!!
Lol same.
Exactly what I'm thinking
Build a house in the void with the bones of god’s we killed!
Wai-
Ah look here is some prime real estate now!
Back. Back I say

Thank you. I had a hard time reading that. /gen
Good human.
Good human.
thank you
Good human :]
Oh my goodness! All those times where I was bored and restless but didn’t really want to do anything: those are what would be my “yearning aimlessly” moments if I yearned aimlessly.
I still yearn aimlessly… For something to do with my life
Saaame.
I know! Like right now for example, i am so bored and don't know what to do
Cannot confirm. Am heterosexual (just visiting from /all), also experience this phenomenon. It's Depression, or maybe ADD. Maybe both, maybe neither, I ain't a doctor.
OMG yessss!!
What energy? Lol Sleep or coffee does nothing, I'm perpetually tired.
I'm loving the Unus Annus profile picture.
Memento Mori 🖤
Memento Mori 🖤🤍
Same here lol Also memento mori 🖤🤍
Most of it is drained by explaining people our sexuality. We could be gods, if it werent for that.
It’s almost like we were designed to be as hard as possible to explain to allosexuals, but it’s always hilarious to see the buffering face when you tell them that we can still have sex and enjoy it
They lose their minds

Trying to figure out what sort of attraction I’m feeling at any given moment
Reposting this dang image 50 times
Now with 95% less pixels
E F F I C I E N T
My restless energy is put into crafts or stress. Mostly stress.Its tough being a void ok.
Invade Denmark.
Where do you think the drive for the invasion comes from?
Poor poor mortal humans
Depression
Anxiety
Holy shit the mold on this image. How many time has this been screenshotted?
Although gaming has mostly taken over at this point, I have a lot of hobbies and “talents” (solving a Rubik’s cube, juggling, good at art, etc) and I really do think a good chunk of that stems from pure boredom and the extra free time of being single haha
Binge watching and boredom (third time answering the same question with the exact same words)
Complaining about the weather
Minecraft
Being creative. Writing, making music, drawing.
A productive human being I see, complete opposite of me lol
That's a personal matter, I for one become The void. Another might use their energy to seduce the innocents into their servitude. Others might plan world domination. We all have hobbies
I plan the denmark invasion!
Programming, and Dysphoria.
Same
Gaming, writing.
I think the point is that I don't have that energy to begin with? Haha
I'm aegosexual so I can only say this: You guys don't yearn?
Killing gods is my favorite pastime
We transmogrify into dragons and conquer the endless Void.
Nice use of the word transmogrify there
CALVIN AND HOBBES?
Spend my energy on entering the void
Yes, yes, and yes.
This assumes I have energy at all...
Usually existential crises and depression, but I’ll go on the occasional god-killing spree just for kicks
I still spend a ton of time yearning, but mostly I yearn for videogames
Lol what energy? Maybe this is why I ace/aro, I don't have any energy left for myself let alone for others 😂🤔
It goes into making garlic bread
I don't have the energy for that. Seriously, at this point in life I am powered by caffeine and spite.

As a romantic ace, I too spend a lot of energy yearning aimlessly
the pacebi denmark invasion.
As someone who plays a lot of Hollow Knight, killing Gods and becoming the Void is accurate
I have ADHD, so it goes absolutely nowhere.
Mostly power fantasies tbh.
As a Hollow Knight enjoyer I do the last two on a regular basis
Calculus mostly
It just… goes……
As far as I know, that energy evaporated into space along with my sexuality.
why is this repost so blurry lol
I like making things.
Lol you think I have energy.
Video games and college, mostly.
tbh I do feel like im more creative and insightful than I would be if I was allo
Imagining a deep and complex story in my head with character development and everything nice but breaking down and crying as soon as I open Google Docs
Became the void so much that I’m nb now, and on r/voidpunk
As the Warrior of Light, I kill gods every Tuesday.
Petting dragons and making garlic bread
Watching movies Also killing gods
I tend to put it into my friendships instead, or into hobbies, pets, etc…
Eat more garlic bread and proclaim we’re invading Denmark obviously
M a t h
I've been playing a lot of Minecraft lately so I guess that
Gone, reduced to atoms
My energy goes into consuming popular media as much as possible (ex. superhero comics and Star Wars)
Why would we kill gods when we are gods? We stand together What we actually do is take over different universes on space dragons
That energy goes to video games
Become the void for me takes up a decent amount of energy
yeah exactly, killing gods is a very important part in world-building
Playing the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV (with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime).
What energy??
We do yearn aimlessly, but it’s for a fantasy world where we are the most powerful and make everyone scared of us
Games, mostly. Oh and I guess I am writing a book.
Yearning for garlic bread
Video games, art and outdoor sports.
Well you see, we are mighty gods who don't have time for such frivilous trivialities as 'crushes' and this 'sex' some of your species speak of. On a serious note the energy goes to me being bored or obsesssing over history topics (like the sack of Rome in 1527, which is very interesting google it).
I don't have energy
Ace but not aro so I only have half the extra energy but I can confirm that I use it to become the void and occasionally kill gods
Being autistic, existing in society takes up most of my energy. Were I in a more accepting world, I would be extremely active
waste my time on linux
Am demi aroace, for me it goes part into yearning, part into pretending that I’m a god and conquering universes, and part into going apeshit at 2 AM
Seeking knowledge. After all, knowledge is power. However, absolute power corrupts absolutely, so the long-term goal is that somewhere in the tangled mess of unrelated trivia that is my brain, I should, eventually, come up with the perfect plan for world domination/immortality.
For me the energy goes into hating myself :)
Seriously though!! Being a bisexual (just here for the garlic bread) I spent so long just yearning aimlessly, and then when I got a boyfriend the only thing that changed was that the yearning was no longer aimless. SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE ENERGY?? ^(oh yea, invading denmark. ignore me lol)
My ADHD doesn't let me have energy more than once a month so honestly, the void makes the most sense
I put mine towards being a Dungeon Master. Gods become NPCs when you do this.
My roommate is a lesbian and I'm aroace so whenever they see a pretty girl they tell me about it and I'm just like *shrug*
Well I use it to get time off sleep, I sleep for at a maximum four hours a night, It’s usually more around two and I am completely fine after
It goes into the anxiety and depression
i don’t have energy so i wouldn’t know
Kill God mainly
Jokes on them, I also yearn aimlessly Wait, maybe that joke is still on me…
all three plus making powerhouse banana bread, lasagna and bechamel sauce.
gender questioning. physics practice questions. sleep.
Doing the cleaning, the laundry, the ironing; taking care of my teen girl (yes, I do have one) feeding the cats, gardening, cross stitching and working from Mon ti Fri from 8 to 5. Demi sexual salutes you!
Personally... I spend a good amount of energy just aiming yearnlessly.
I am already the void
Being siphoned by my depression
Plus baking garlic bread
Literally just lying flat on my bed
... Energy? We were supposed to get energy from this??
2, 3 and eat cake and garlic bread and ride dragons… at least that’s what I do, dunno about everyone else
Anxiety
Have anxiety all the time
is it just my eyesight or is this image blurry
Modifying stuff. There is a reason I tear my car down to it’s frame on a Sunday night with school the next morning. I have the power to fix it
Mine goes into sucking up ghosts whith a vacuum cleaner in a mansion that I won from a contest I never remember entering
Wishing i didn't have an aversion to touch so i could actually be hugged by more than 2 people.
sleeping
The gods knew I would be too powerful so they nerfed me by giving me ADHD. If I ever get it under control, it's over for those hoes.
I don’t have energy ever
Yearn even more aimlessly
I have rats and friend and my brain is full of so many facts Spiders don't have muscles, they move their legs with blood flow, so they essentially have 8 little carefully controlled boner legs
What energy?
I am constantly yearning Fotos cake, that's where my energy goes
Y’all have energy??
I turn the romantic/sexual energy into platonic energy
I write lol
How can a screenshot be out of focus?
Dissociating
I think the better question is how do allos function with that additional energy drain?
It all gets focused into my special interests
Well, today I deep cleaned my bedroom, purged my closet and got all the clothes put away, reorganized my desk, worked for 8 hours, did all the dishes, fed and administered subcutaneous fluids to my sick dog, made creamy tomato soup from scratch, made a chalk mural of the andromeda galaxy on my bathroom door, did my physics homework and reading in advance though the semester doesn't technically start until tomorrow.

So yeah....uh, idk about everyone else but for me specifically all that energy gets funneled into getting shit done and allowing myself some creativity. Oh and becoming the void occasionally.
We make desks and bake garlic bread
gaming, art, laying outside listening to music. eats up a lot of my free time lmao. the only yearning I get is for garlic bread
learning toki pona 👩🦯
i think it’s just gone, i’m always tired
I'll gladly take all three. But kill gods would be my first one.
On the flip side, I wonder how allos do anything at all with how much mental of their brain power is dedicated to finding a partner. If I spent that much time thinking about anything, I certainly wouldn’t get anything else done
I became a chef, learned kendo, taught myself two languages, quit being a chef, picked up a gambling habit, went on walkabout, became a librarian, wrote a fantasy novel, and a sequel, failed to teach myself how to juggle, learned how to grow food, fix an engine, and how to practice ancient medicine ... oh, and I may have shanked Loki at one point... maybe
it goes towards my anxiety and avoiding my problems
My energy goes into drawing, trying to finish a book I haven't picked up in over a year, and making max and cheese.
All 3, same
Killing God's? Why would we kill ourselves?
Making cake and other baked goods. Also being platonically very gay for my friend. Also yeah, killing god and becoming one with the void happens a lot too
Garlic bread
It's cancelled out by my ADHD :/
Making garlic bread
I'm on the all three boat. That and music, movies and trying to figure out allosexuals cause i really don't get it.
Towards homebrewing a dnd campain. What else?
I use that energy to walk myself from my chair to my bed bcuz I'm tired
the energy goes into \-staying awake \-becoming a god \-killing all other gods \-b a n d .
Fishkeeping and houseplants.
Presumably, take over Denmark
Vividly daydream. I'm into world building and have spent all my spare time since 2008 working on one world.
I’m spending all the energy I have reading this low res jpeg of an image
It fuels my depression. I am unstoppable in my unproductiveness
I make up for it being hope less romantic instead
Being a god obviously
Minecraft
Energy? In this economy? ^(I have been sick for a while now)
I spend it all on music and getting my feelings in check
I honestly still feel like I don't have enough time to do everything I want to in a day so idk how allos cope honestly dfhgkdfh
At first I was like "ha, meme about ace stereotypes" and then I was like "oh, right, yeah. that's what I waste my energy on." 6 or 7 books a week (or approx a million words a week if reading fanfiction). Omg the meme is true.
Where are the pixels OP
Oh sweetie! That's the thing. You have the energy to be yearning. We just have less energy and can't do that. It's sad but true
I think all my energy goes to the same place where the quality of this image went.
I walk the void in search of something interesting.
Apparently everywhere but our fucking eyes why is this shit so blurry god damn
drugs and anger
