In Beacon
Mercury: I am telling you Emerald. That Arc kid is gay. No way he is straight and that oblivious to one of the hottest girls hitting on him.
Emerald: If you are so sure he is gay why don’t you go ask him out?
Mercury: Fine I will just to prove you wrong, But I have no interest in dating him.
*7 years later*
Mercury: And that kids is how I met your Daddy.
Jaune: Wait Pyrrha was hitting on me?
Mercury: Jaune.
Jaune: What?
Mercury: Jaune.
Jaune: W-what? Did I do something wrong?
Mercury: ... *Sigh* You know what, if it wasn't for your density we wouldn't be together, so I'm just counting my blessings.
Jaune: ... okay then?
Ace (Cad Kid): Well that's a lame story.
Mercury: How about I tell about our first date? I kicked a guy through a wall!
Jaune: Honey.
Ace: Did he bleed?
Mercury: A lot!
Jaune: Dear.
Ace: What'd he do?
Mercury: He shoved Jaune, so I kicked squre in the chest! He was lucky I didn't fire a slug off!
Jaune: Mercury!

It'd been so long since he'd felt warm.
Sure, he'd felt the warmth of the sun. Of fire. Of lava. But external heat rarely thawed internal frost. And he had been cold for so, so long.
He had felt a brief warmth in the company of his two friends, only to be snuffed out by the one they'd called teacher.
After that? Eleven years of numbing frost had crawled through his insides, shutting off everything but the bare minimum.
He thought he'd never feel the warmth again. Had made himself content with the frost, for that would be all he'd know for the rest of his life.
Until it wasn't. Until the frost cracked and broke, shaking off little by little.
As he met a little goblin girl as filthy as he was. His loyal companion who did not belong to the skin she had been forced into.
As he met a blue tiefling girl with her love for pastries and unwavering devotion, a handsome half-orc with a loyalty that ran as deep as the oceans he dreamed about, and a brusque human woman who was running from her past with the same fervor as he was.
As he met a giant aasimar woman whose fearsome countenance was belied by her gentle nature.
As he met a beautiful lavender tiefling who sparkled brightly in order to bring joy to everyone around them. Their brilliance was so strong, he could not help but be drawn to them.
When they lost the lavender tiefling to powerful enemies.... Well, he had thought the frost would come back to stay. Felt the edges of a familiar coldness return and prepared for the worst.
Then, a wise firbolg taught him that death is not the end, that there are many, many ways to honor those who have passed.
He felt the last of the frost thaw completely, and he finally allowed himself to mourn. Allowed himself to trust. Allowed himself to love again.
And oh, how he loved.
He loved his friends, his family, the way a well-fed fire burns: brightly and unceasingly warm.
He loved his partner, his beautiful and intelligent and flawed partner, the way the stars shine: luminously and without end. For as long as they should live.
And as he lays here, on his deathbed, Caleb Widogast cannot help but think how lucky he is to be able to love and to be loved. How lucky to have known and seen as much as he did. How lucky he is to be filled with a warmth that so many spend their whole lives searching for.
I have lived my life well, he thinks, heartbeat slowing. I have no regrets.
And as he exhales his last breath, he smiles. I have so many stories to tell you, Mutter und Vater.

Upcoming (Potential) New A-Spec Characters in TV
Luffy from One Piece (Netflix)
Not really canon but as long as in the adaptation he doesn't feel attracted to anyone fits the criteria
Alastor from Hazbin Hotel (TBD)
Canonly aroace, has a line that can be read as indicative of his asexuality in the Youtube pilot
Vernestra from The Acolyte (Disney+)
Canonly aroace, hopefully they don't erase her orientation in the TV show
Ekundayo from Raybearer (Netflix)
(fanart by @/souldagger )
He is asexual biromantic in the books
Please add more potential a-spec characters coming to TV if you know any, I know WicDiv (which includes asexual character Dionysus) had an adaptation announced in 2015 but it's probably cancelled by now), with so few a-spec representation I just want to know of any potential characters coming to TV in the future!
