'''Angled aroace''' refers someone who is on the [[aromantic spectrum]] (arospec) and the [[asexual spectrum]] (acespec), and experiences a form of attraction other than romantic or sexual that is significant enough to acknowledge alongside their aroace orientation. The label is used by people who are arospec asexual, aromantic acespec, or arospec acespec.<ref name="AUREA: All Terms" /> The term "angled aroace" was coined in 2019 by Tumblr user black-aros after finding out that the oriented aroace identity did not include aroace-spec individuals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://official-angledaroace.tumblr.com/post/626716768687226880/angled-remake|title=Angled (Remake)|author=official-angledaroace|date=August 17, 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220302030202/https://official-angledaroace.tumblr.com/post/626716768687226880/angled-remake}}</ref>

Aroaceflux can be an orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, someone could identify as aroaceflux and gay, meaning when they do experience attraction, it's usually towards the same gender. The term "aroaceflux" was coined by Quora user Ezrasberry in October 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theresultofinsanity.quora.com/Coining-a-not-so-new-term|title=Coining a (not so new) term|author=Calrissian, Willow}}</ref>

The aroace flag, also referred to as the sunset aroace flag<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/aromanticasexual/comments/ipwmgr/the_aroace_flag_debate/|title=The Aroace Flag debate|archivedate=20220331022233}}</ref>, was created by Tumblr user aroaesflags on December 11, 2018. The flag was created "with the experiences of aroaces who don’t split their attraction in mind", which is why the flag does not contain purple for asexual nor green for aromantic. It is meant to represent anyone who is on the asexual spectrum and aromantic spectrum together.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://aroaesflags.tumblr.com/post/181034758671/revised-aroace-flag-after-some-conversation-among|title=Revised Aroace Flag|author=aroaesflags|date=2018-12-11|archivedate=20220319070218}}</ref> The specific meanings of the sunset flag are as follows:

−

* '''Two shades of blue''': Represents "the aroace identity as well as the spectrum of aroace identities and experiences". The choice of color here is intended to be between green, for aromantic, and purple, for asexual.<ref name=":0" />

−

* '''White''': Wholeness. This is meant 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".<ref name=":0" />

−

* '''Yellow''': Love and relationships that exist outside of more conventional ideas of romantic and sexual relationships.<ref name=":0" />

−

* '''Orange''': Community. Similar to the use of blue on this flag, orange is in between purple and green, for asexual and aromantic respectively. This represents "both the unity of ourselves as aroaces as well as our places in both the aro and ace communities".<ref name=":0" />

There are other alternative designs used as the aroace flag, most of which are some combination of the individual aromantic and asexual flags. In addition, some of these designs were also created before the sunset aroace flag.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aro-neir-o.tumblr.com/post/184671635170/aroace-pride-flags-a-collection-post|title=Aroace Pride Flags: A Collection Post|date=05-05-2019|author=aro-neir-o|archivedate=20220615195510}}</ref> An example of this is the design shown to the right, which was published on December 6, 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Aroace-646132640|title=Aroace|author=Pride-Flags|date=06-12-2016|archivedate=20210521043306}}</ref>
