#I'm just throwing him on the ace spectrum for now

[the-heart-of-leo]

Nick's so far under the bus that they might as well change the oil while they're under there.

Okay, because I'm a bit of a masochist and I have adblockers...

I'm going to count how many times James throws Nick under the bus:

@2:40 – 'This fell upon Nick as well, as a non-binary person on the ace spectrum, they wanted to include asexuality and non-binary representation to our videos. But because Nick's experience is not universal – There is no universal experience – people felt that we were delegitimizing their own experiences because we focused on Nick's.' (The reason we were acephobic was because we (meaning Nick) didn't think other ace people had problems and when it was pointed out to us by The Ace Couple that ace people did, in fact, face discrimination and conversion therapy, we (meaning James) accused them of homophobia and sicced their followers on them.)

@6:38 – 'The work Nick and I were doing on the channel...' (Because Nick was here too! Not just me!)

@10:46 – 'I was much more interested in the production of the videos than the writing of them, at this point. So after three or four videos, I brought Nick on as a main writer for the channel. The idea is that they would write the vast majority of the scripts. I would film, voice, and edit the videos and we'd split the money that came in.'(Nick was the main writer for the channel! In case you forgot...)

@14:40 – 'And then my mom died... and I became completely useless. I couldn't think straight, at all, so Nick had to completely take over writing duties.'(DID I MENTION NICK WAS THE MAIN WRITER. ALSO MY MOM DIED; FEEL SORRY FOR ME)

@19:44 – 'When Nick got back, he believed the script needed a first page rework. This was also when he told me he was going to be moving back to Ontario permanently soon as he wanted to live closer to family and live in a bigger city with more opportunities. This was a punch to the gut for me. We'd been living together since 2015 and had become quite dependent on each other. I felt like there was no way I could make this movie without him.'(We couldn't make the movie we promised because SOMEONE DECIDED TO MOVE and since I'm co-dependent on him, I moved with him and screwed up everything. Oopsie.)

@26:32 – 'But by accepting as many sponsors as we did, which became very important when Nick and I started living apart and suddenly had two rents to pay, we ended up needing to produce even more videos. Which, along with the work on Telos and making sure everything was okay with my dad while living thousands of kilometers away meant I had even less time for writing – putting more stress on Nick and leading to even more copy and pasting from me.' (See what you did, Nick?! We have to pay TWO rents now and we need to make even MORE videos. I'm not creepily co-dependent on my asexual ex-roommate at all!)

@32:50 – 'I know what misinformation had made its way into our past videos. That was not something we intended; in some cases it was information I was told by people I considered experts. In other cases it was information that we had researched. In other cases it was things that Nick had learned in university.'(Nick told me some of this stuff! ((which is fair because NICK ADMITTED HE DOESN'T DO RESEARCH)) In other cases it was because I assumed I knew what happened because I'm the smartest person I know so of course Lesbians had it easier! I just forgot that Radcliffe Hall's books were banned and destroyed because of that head injury I talked about earlier.)

And here's an honorable mention where the smug “I'm smarter than you” BS comes to visit:

'To those who say I plagiarized the plot from the novel Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix – Read the book. It's nothing like the plot of the movie. And 'The Final Girl' is a trope in horror movies so if using the Final Girl trope is plagiarism then basically everyone who's made a slasher movie since Texas Chainsaw Massacre owes the Toby Hooper estate some money.'

So, much like how James doesn't understand why people aren't upset at him because of citation issues, he doesn't understand that it's not the fact that he's using the 'Final Girl' trope... it's the fact that he stated the book as a favorite of his and then... suddenly he's writing a movie about the aftermath of the Final Girl. And given the plagiarism, it can not be taken in good faith.

First off, if you just google 'First Final Girl', it just says Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the earliest examples. Another possibility for the 'First Final Girl' was actually Black Christmas which was released the same day in Canada so it is literally tied.

Secondly; the final girl trope is not required for slasher movies. One of the first 'proto-slasher' movies was actually Psycho so there were a few good decades between that and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (I could try and make a case that Lila Crane should count as a Final Girl; maybe even Mrs. Bates/Norman as a subversion... but I'm not that invested or interested.)

So... James was true to form, he just wanted to be a smug asshat and try and seem smart over something easily googled.

Okay, so I wanted to discuss the situation with Alastor, his canonical sexuality, and fans.

I have seen the two sides alot.

So one side ships Al with numerous characters and sees this as casual fun.

And the other thinks this is disrespectful cause he is ace, or Aroace.

(I believe that he is Aroace. His va said so, his character has shown no interest in romance, and Viv may have confirmed it at some point)

Now, I am sex repulsed ace and I'm aro. And I have strong opinions. Alastor is my favorite character in Hazbin Hotel, he is also the FIRST confirmed ace character I've seen. (This doesn't include subtly implied characters) Because Al is the first and I care for him he is very important to me.

My opinion is really mixed because on one side it's; yeah, it is a fandom, and fandoms ship. It's what they do. Its also kind a rude to judge someone for their favorite pairings and stuff, in my opinion.

On the other side though I'm hurt. I am a queer person with basically no rep. And I hadn't realized how upset I was by this until I saw discourse over this character. I had FORGOTTEN that it was possible to have confirmed canonical ace characters. I had gotten so used to that just being a head cannon. And not only just an ace character but also an Aroace character. And not just that but a seemingly non sex favorable ace character. I would even argue he is sex repulsed.

My real problem with all this is:

Yes, I KNOW ace characters can have sex. But do you know who else can? Literally every single allosexual character. I KNOW aros can date. But you know who else can? Everyone else. The appeal of ACTUALLY having characters with the same sexuality as me is that they would be like me. Cause I and other aces like me never, ever get stories like that. So many times in media I would be enjoying a character who had shown NO interest in sex/romance and would suddenly be partnered up with another just for the heck of it. This has happened SO many times it's not even funny. It's incredibly frustrating.

So, the point I'm trying to make is that; YES, there are aces who have sex. HOWEVER, a large number of us do not. And it's like everyone forgets that. Your not writing Alastor having sex with Angel cause your showing the vast spectrum of asexuality. Your most likely writing it cause it's sex between two hot characters. It's simply maddening.

(One thing I wanted to say was, despite the fact that Al is ace i don't think it's bad to find him attractive. He is very pleasing to look at so I understand allos finding him hot. However I'm not sure where I stand with people sexualizing him. I think I'm leaning towards, 'please don't do it'.)

Now, the worst thing though is when I'm looking for content to enjoy. When I found out Al was canonically ace I was so happy and excited. I'm pretty sure this situation wouldn't make me nearly as frustrated if it weren't for the overwhelming amount of sexual content for Al. Some would be fine. I could just scroll past it if this were the case. But it is not. Content for Al is MOSTLY sexual. That's why I don't believe people when they keep saying they aren't invalidating aces because almost every time I go looking for a fic I have to scroll for HOURS just to find few non ship fics.

I can't even use the Asexual Alastor tag because all that does is bring me to a bunch of fics where the author is like 'he's ace trust me,' then proceeds to write smut.

Why can't I even use a tag made for aces without being drowned in smut. It's so frustrating! Like I'm getting to a point where I wish the authors would stop using the tag and openly admit they made him not ace for the story. Like I know your trying to not throw away his canonical sexuality but I mean at this point I think it'd be better if you did. And if someone is going to write sex favorable ace Al then please leave it to the aces. I trust us to at least weave it into his character instead of stating it and acting like it's there when it's not.

So basically: I don't mind if you ship him, just don't say he's ace or Aroace if your neither of those in ship/smut content. I'm sick of trying to find content that isn't sex/romance in Aroace tags!

I don't want to judge people for liking a ship. But I'm really tired.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I would love to see content with Al and Lucifer. Like them hating each other to like frenemies. It would be so funny.

Anyone have any platonic content with Al and the rest of the cast???

I'm just gonna throw it out there cuz idk how many people have given you crap about this:

1). Solar labeled himself a "cousin" at EARTHS INSISTENCE. He straight up says that thinking about it in a "familial relationship" way doesnt work and is confusing see KC Eclipse Lunar Bloodmoon etc and hes only told that to Earth. Frankly, I think he, Moon and Sun think of Solar as "member of this family". Also, robots.

2). Moon can still develop feelings for someone, even if he's still aro/ace. I cant see Moon as EVER being the romantic type, and pretty much everyone in THIS show finds any sort of "physical" relationship weird and/or gross. Frankly, I read Solar as aro/ace too, cuz while the dude is CLEARLY capable of pining he really doesn't seem like the romantic type. So shipping Moon and Solar doesnt invalidate anyone's identity, especially since falling in love doesn't have to be romantic or physical *glares judgingly at society*

Also, imagine Solar and Moon going on non-romantic dates. Like they go to an anime convention or something and Moons completely needing out and Solars just like "you're a loser *heart eyes*"

WAIT NO BETTER IDEA!

Sun, who IS a romantic type, is like "I want my brother to have the best so I'm gonna help you guys get together" and Solars just like "pls no" and Sun tries to help make the perfect date, but both members are AGGRESSIVELY romantic and by the end Solar and Moon ditch Sun and like go play God of War or something X3

AH!

Surprisingly, no one has been giving me crap about much. I'm actually surprised with how chill everyone has been and how much on board they are with my silly little ship train idea. I'm actually happy everyone has been really cool and accepting so far.

And yes, this is true, and I went into a few posts about it. One post I went into specifics on the flexibility and "subject to change" nature about relationships in Robots. But agreed.

2. And yeah! Exactly. Back in the Early days of the show, Sun tried to pair Moon up on dates all the time, so it could have been a possibility that the old Moon was Romantic, or he wasn't, and Sun was just misreading the situation.... Also I never got his goal in trying to ship his brother with Roxanne other then to just be a voyeur because he's the one who liked her

And the only reason in my shipping Scenarios why Solar doesn't test his boundaries isn't cause he's acephobic in a majority of my scenarios. but moreso he doesn't want to violate Moon's trust or test his limits. Moon has given him so much, he doesn't want to ruin his friendship or the only home he's ever known.

Also NewMoon said he's "Questioning" right now, and that's also fine. And most likely i'll just draw from my own demi/ace experiences in a lot of ships I like/portray. Because I only know how to write my own experiences. It's not to invalidate others. I'm not every ace person in existence and it's such a wide spectrum so I can't account for everyone. I just write and brainstorm what feels right to me.

And. 3. gehaoghawefh Cute idea.

So I'm calling it, it took 13 years but Cole is now LGBTQA and I don't care what others say, their dynamics working towards it and we will most likely have full confirmation in Pt 2, I am mostly crying because I wish Kirby could be here,

When asked years ago about the lgbtq fans surrounding Cole and adopting him as one of their own Kirby was asked what was his reaction be if they decided to make that Canon and he said he would have been honored,

Oh Kirby I wish you could be here you would be like a kid at Christmas cheering with us for this massive rep win

Also I said lgbtqa because asexuality ace represention is important I know however the ace Spectrum can be it's own little subset into itself, so we may not see any kissing between them because they are Ace but they don't mind holding hands it just depends on the person.

So please don't discount that if you are one that HCs this, they haven't said directly what they are and I think they're doing that so people can make it their own

However I better not see anybody on the ace side getting after those who might see them as just gay

gays you also must respect if I see anything like infighting I will be pissed we can all coexist with our headcannons together

Homophobic people deal with it we all knew this was coming you were just in denial it does not ruin anything it does not do anything. Only you can decide to stop watching Ninjago, complain and throw a temper tantrum about it there is a Multiverse for a reason.

Mildly obsessed with how they're throwing out repeated 'hints' of Guillermo's sexuality the way they would have on shows in the late 2000s or something, back when it was more rare to have a queer character. Except it's something most of the audience already knows, and it's this show, where Laszlo casually invited Nandor to plow him as he plowed his wife and Nandor's horniest moments during the Bachelor montage were with male-presenting people.

But we also have Guillermo being super close-mouthed about the fact that he's dating a guy, and having a 'shrewd and insightful mind for the penis stuff', definitely seeming interested in what Nandor is packing. And Laszlo, of all people, loudly proclaiming that it's every young man's dream to do something like seduce the Guide, "what's the matter with you? it works, doesn't it?"

Like we could get the reveal that Guillermo's somewhere on the ace spectrum, but I think we've got enough hints he's interested in sex with the right person. (Though if I'm wrong that'd be fucking awesome too, an ace fat Mexican ultra-badass? A homoromantic asexual slow burn as the vampire fuck mansion's featured OTP? Hell yeah.) I think it's just a very, very interesting way of highlighting how he's just that compartmentalized, just that private in his sexuality even now, and the problems he'd still run into back in the family he came from. That a lot of people obviously still deal with all the time.

But now he's healing his own neglected and unsupported childhood stuff through being surrogate parent to Colin. And both literally and metaphorically helping to repair a home up around his chosen family. And it's all just genius. I'm so excited for what this season is going to bring.

[nagisasstunningpersonality]

What’s this about koro Q and karmagisa?

Okay strap yourself in. This became a Karma sexuality meta. warning for koro q spoilers.

This centres around Bitch Sensei and her 'charm' ability. Note that Nagisa 'charms' (read: he doesn't actually, everyone just thought he was hot) 3E in chapter two, but what I'm talking about here is the sort of mind-control ability, which is consistently represented by a heart around the head.

This section of the panel speaks clearly. You can only be charmed if you're attracted to women. Hell, "are you gay" is right there (I don't have access to the Japanese rn so I can't double check the exact wording).

We see later that Karasuma is unaffected. Again, I can't check the exact wording right now, but I imagine the original Japanese is pretty similar. I think here, the implication is that Karasuma is somewhere on the ace spectrum.

We get to a point in the chapter where all the 3E men are enchanted. It works on EVERYONE except Karma and Nagisa. Now why might that be, hm? So at this point, the inference we can take from this is that neither of them are attracted to women.

(okay, Korosensei was pretending to be infected, but he has magic big bad powers so he doesn't count)

She even throws them off a tower for it. Maybe Irina moonlights a writer for the CW.

Amazingly they still continue to argue about it when everyone's safe. They address that it's a little abnormal for Karasuma to not have been affected. But... Karma and Nagisa are just stood there, in the same boat, and this is never addressed. Interesting.

So that's Evidence One, right.

So Evidence Two, which is the juicy bit, is actually on the last ever page of Koro Q. And lemme tell you, I bought this book the day it came out (physically, in Japan) and my jaw dropped. Yet nobody really knows about it and it's honestly upsetting.

Basically, Nagisa says something wholesome and Okajima and Mimura are like 'oh no he's hot'. Which I mean, Nagisa's adorable I can't blame the guys. What's important to note is that they use the exact same design as with Bitch Sensei, which implies it follows similar rules.

But then we get to the holy panel.

Yes, Karma is infatuated. With Nagisa. Official adjacent material where Karma is explicitly attracted to Nagisa. I think it's pretty obvious why this is kind of a big deal. And also why I headcanon him as gay nowadays.

But, you might point out, he said he liked Okuda in Kyoto!

...Okay what you have to understand about Japanese is it's reaaaaally vague and contextual sometimes. So when you translate the meaning to English, it comes off with a slightly different nuance. In other words, I think it's a little stronger with implied romance in English.

Maehara says "Ki ni naru ko iru?" which is translated as 'is there a girl you're interested in?'. And yes, this is accurate, but even despite the obvious context the phrase 'ki ni naru' can also mean 'to care about', 'feel anxious about', or even interest in a non-romantic way. So there's that to contend with.

Either way though, Karma's reasoning is that she can make him chloroform or something. What he actually says in a nutshell is like 'the scope of my schemes can widen'. I don't reaaaally take that as much of a romantic admission. I stan their friendship though, to be clear.

TLDR, that tangent aside, to me at least this is the single (close to) canon 'no way of denying it' instance of Karma being attracted to anybody. And it's glorious. Hence, Karmagisa is at least half canon in Koro Q.

I say half because we never get any kind of confirmation that Nagisa likes Karma. All we know is he's not straight.

(I mean, there's also that time where the uh official card game chose to promote an event with shirtless Karma and Nagisa posed beside each other, and Isogai looking fucking horrified. They made it worse when, in the game, a line I can only translate as "what do you want to do with me Karma?" appeared beside said shirtless image of Nagisa).

Woah...

Uhhh...

Okay Wow brain reboot please what the fuck

This... This might have awaken something in me????

Truth be told I've never been sexually attracted to something (idk if it's I'm on the ace spectrum or just lack of experience or whatever, trying to figure that out) even with guys or celebrities that I find good looking, including Nick as himself, who is fucking gorgeous

But my first reaction upon seeing this was

1, to throw my phone onto the bed and laugh, shouting "HELLO SLUT"

2, think "I wanna straddle him and bite his lip off"

... Yeah so I guess that's a thing now thanks George!

Hi, Nora....My friend and I made a list of ace and aro characters from BL, and then we get to Love For Sale. We think Sieon is aro, based on he never regret his previous relationships until he is with Namwoo. And how he felt so indifferent about them. But what do you think? Also, do you have any BL characters that you think are ace or aro?

Great question! And thank you for giving me a chance to talk about Sieon. I'm always happy to do so. If you want the tl;dr answer, I don't consider him to be one. However, as is always the case on Wild Wild Web when you express a thought or preference, people take it as me condemning all the other thoughts/preferences. So here's a PSA: if you consider him Aro, good for you! You can interpret him however you like.

Also, lots and LOTS of spoilers for the uninitiated.

As for how I read his character. I think Sieon is hard to understand for a lot of people because they expect him to be either this or that and try to put him into categories he doesn't fully belong in. It's one of the reasons why I'm so enamored with Love for Sale as a whole, and Sieon in particular. Dal Hyeonji, even though this is their first commercial BL work, does an absolutely fantastic job in this character study.

Back to the point. When the story was still being released, I entertained a similar idea myself about him that, maybe he's demiromantic. Not a romance-aversed aromantic, but still a part of the spectrum. Then I kind of abandoned that as well.

We are a melting pot of our environments, cultural codes, family, and our characteristics. That's why most of the time, it's hard to make out whether you've become something due to some external force or you were that something before anything else. A very lame example would be, do I find red lipstick sexy because I find it arousing, or is it because it was marketed in such a way that I am conditioned to think it's sexy? Similarly, it's not always easy to tell apart whether your feelings are genuine, you feel like you have to feel certain ways towards certain people, or something impacted you in such a way that you don't feel a certain way anymore. I know I'm being vague but hopefully, it'll make more sense now.

Sieon, having to shoulder her mother's emotional well-being and their reversed parent-child roles, has found himself in a position where he seeks gratification through the things he can provide to his partners so he can feel 'needed'. The comfort he can provide for his partner becomes his purpose to be in that relationship. I was throwing him bombastic side-eyes very early into the story where he never expressed any type of preference and was very evasive whenever Namwoo tried to probe. Naturally, it was quite frustrating for Namwoo. As for me, it was as if Sieon was trying to erase himself from the relationship and be there for Namwoo as a combination of 'bank account + lips to kiss + a hand to hold' and blend into the ether as a person.

That's also why his relationships ended the way they did. He knew his mom wasn't happy, and even if he tried to alleviate her pain, it ultimately didn't work, thus, the one last good deed he could do for his mom was to let her go. To not be greedy. To not be selfish and say "I need you, don't go." This is the root of his letting go of his exes 'too easily', rather than him not 'loving' his partners.

Here's where things get tricky. Ideally, a romantic relationship requires you to be vulnerable, communicative, diplomatic, etc. Ideally. But none of us are exempt from carrying our baggage with us into the next relationship, no matter how big or small. In that sense, should we say that just because Sieon hasn't been perfectly vulnerable or has been avoiding conflict, he was never in a real relationship before? I don't think we can. 

One of the moments my heart ached for him was during his conversation with his close friend. He reiterates it later on when they're having the talk with Namwoo, but he desperately tries to convey that, no matter what his partners felt, whether they were satisfied on their own account or not, he was always genuine. Has always been. It may not fit the mold of grandiose, shouting-from-the-mountaintops, I'd-swallow-a-sword-for-you kind of love we are constantly sold in the romance genre, but that doesn't mean he isn't capable of love either. On the contrary, I think he does look for romantic companionship, but he just doesn't know how not to intellectualize his feelings.

So, in my opinion, "he didn't love anyone else before Namwoo" is not exactly the correct way to read him. Up until Namwoo decided that he was going to hold onto Sieon and 'show him a selfish love' in Sieon's mom's words, their relationship was following the pretty much same direction as the others. At first, Namwoo is content with what Sieon provides, but then he develops feelings for him and expects Sieon to return them in a way he can't. The same old story that is bound to end with a break-up.

Emphasis on 'in a way he couldn't'. The way I read it, his way of loving is different from what others deem as 'romantic love', so he's convinced that he can't reciprocate others' feelings. If that's love, and his feelings don't look like that, then he must not be in love after all. And when Namwoo shows Sieon that it's okay to be needy and selfish at times, and it's okay to be vulnerable and honest, we see that was the wake-up call he needed all along. 

The verdict? If you consider his past partners through the "he wasn't able to genuinely love them" lens and interpret his "not being able to reciprocate romantic feelings" literally, you can think of him as an aromantic who's not really averse to dating. But as I've tried to elaborate, rather than not feeling romantic love, he does feel love and seek companionship but doesn't know how to handle conflict and can't break free from the behavioral patterns ingrained in him in childhood. 

About aro/ase characters in BL. There's only one work that comes to mind which, interestingly, makes asexuality/demisexuality one of the core themes it explores and that's This is Love by Ziki Masaya. I have reviewed it before (click me) and I highly recommend it! I can maybe mention Sangwoo from Semantic Error, but then again, I think he's just autistic and his approach to romantic love for another guy is different from his normie boyfriend Jongchan because of that. I can't really think of any other works with Aro/ace characters as there's always romance/sex involved. Or maybe I just haven't paid enough attention! Let me know about the list you two came up with ~

PSA: I added the intro because the original link needs you to login to Lezhin as it's a Mature title, but you know the drill. Read on the official platfrorms!

hello aspecs i have a question. how do i tell my long distance boyfriend that im on ace spectrum/have trauma/both? we got together just the other day when we got to see each other irl and before that we spent a year doing 5-hour discord calls talking about anything really. i have pretty much no filter so he’s informed about some of my mental health struggles and successes. i consider myself sex-neutral and i don’t mind suggestive jokes, however now there is some expectation behind them.

so, on one hand since we’re long distance and wont be able to meet up irl for a while it’s not a pressing issue, i can always deflect/laugh it off/etc. on the other hand, i want to communicate that i am very slow in the intimacy department due to reasons stated above as soon as i can. (btw we’re both queer but in a straight-passing relationship) please send help

Yeah, these things can be hard to talk about. One thing that helps people sometimes is don't be afraid for it to sound awkward, focus instead on what do you want him to know or understand. So this can include things like if you need any boundaries, possible triggers, what he should expect (such as needing to move slowly with intimacy for example), what about your trauma do you want him to know, if you need anything from them, etc. And just start, just say something like 'there's something I want to talk about' and just go.

If can help sometimes to write out what you want to say beforehand too, or even practice saying it out loud. (You can even send an email if that's what you're more comfortable doing.) One of the big advantages to writing it out first, even if you don't share the written version is that you can come back to it and make sure everything you want is there, and referto it for future conversations.

You don't have to tell him everything all at once either, this can be a series of conversations where you can open up slowly if that would be easier for you (though of course if getting it all out at once is what you feel would work better for you, that's good too).

It can also help to take time to figure out what you don't want to share, just because you're dating someone doesn't mean you have to tell them everything. It can help to figure out ahead of time where you're going to say 'I'm not ready to talk about this yet' or 'i'm not comfortable talking about this part' if you get asked about it.

It can also help to encourage him to ask questions and try and encourage communication and discussion in general. (But of course remember to enforce any boundaries you need.)

I'll also invite followers to throw in their own advice/thoughts/experiences if they have any.

All the best and good luck!

I saw a post the other day about someone being pissed that people were calling Eddie gay instead of bi only because they couldn't handle more than one bisexual person on a show. Now, I didn't make Eddie gay/demi, he was born that way, BUT it got me thinking, because the whole crew feels very fruity? SO, I want to get your guys' opinions on what you think the rest of the characters are. (JUST the characters. We're not speculating on the actors. We all know this.) I'm going to put mine below & I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts :) These are by vibes only. As a definite demisexual and probable bi woman, idk how great my gaydar is, but sexuality is a spectrum & straight isn't the default, so let's go!!

Bobby - 0% fruity. That is a straight, middle aged white man (affectionate) if I've ever seen one.

Athena - Also straight.

Chim - Chim feels very straight to me, but that scene with the bachelor had me peering at him a little closer, because I've never watched the Bachelor, but it looked like Joey (I think that was the bachelor's name, right? I've never watched a single episode of that show so I have no idea) had been around before, so I couldn't tell if he was like, starstruck, or "Wow that's a pretty boy and it's making me feel things" -struck 😂

Maddie - I don't get many vibes from her either, but I also have a vague fic idea of Madney breaking up in s4/s5 and her ending up with Shannon instead, so idk, maybe she's just unlabeled but somewhere on the spectrum of queerness?

Shannon - Bi vibes

Taylor Kelly - 100% bi, I refuse to hear any other argument.

Lucy Donato - This is a pansexual woman if I've ever seen one, you cannot convince me otherwise. (Also, the most interesting AND likable of Buck's female LI's, argue with the wall. Lucy, they'll never make me hate you bby 🩷💛💙.)

Lena Bokso - Lesbian vibes, for sure. I don't think there was ANY romantic undertones with her and Eddie (Which, I'm not saying that's the only reason I think she's a lesbian. She can like men and not like Eddie. Even if she did, Eddie wasn't in a place to do anything with those feelings, but I saw a post about that pairing recently & wanted to throw my 2 cents in)

May Grant - May also gives off queer vibes, and I've seen other view her as full wlw, but I think she gives off more bi/pan vibes?

Ravi - This man is soommmeee kind of queer that I just cannot put my finger on. I've seen him HC'd as gay, pan, & ace in some way, and I can honestly rock w/ any of the 3 of them. All I know is that he is not a straight man lol.

Albert - Also unsure about him, but if someone were to tell me that he was bi, I could definitely see it. I think that's influenced by the fic that had him, Ravi & May in a throuple, which was genuinely so cute.

Ana - Dr. Flores doesn't give off queer vibes for me, but that could be bc she was criminally underdeveloped & we know practically nothing about her.

Natalia - See above ^^

Ali Martin - Same ^^ although I could see her just being queer and not being more specific than that. Maybe she's straight, who knows. I literally forgot about her until I was looking up actor/actress names 😂

M*risol - straight & homophobic lmfao

Abby - Literally could not care less about her, but I wanted to include her so I could talk about her possibly being Tommy Kinard's ex-girlfriend and her coming back to LA for whatever reason and finding her ex-boyfriends happy & having totally forgotten about her predatory ass.

Also, obviously not speculating about any of the children, bc they're still children, even if they're fictional. It's icky.

I think that's all the main/reoccurring characters that we don't already know about, let me know if I missed any.

Talk about being the gay firefighter show, how accurate lmfao.

[panthera-tigris-venenata]

Disastrous Hook household in the 1920 mafia AU:

Their combined bodycount is at least a dozen. They will gladly elaborate if asked.

You might end up traumatized though.

They ended up adopting Claudine Frollo after Uma dragged her to Harry, like: „She wouldn't survive on the streets. She's your problem now.“

Harry, of course, is unable to say no to Uma.

And Harriet just throws her hands up „Well we are not gonna throw her out, are we?!“

And when CJ comes back from her honeymoon (with her husband still alive, to her eternal annoyance), the conversation goes like this:

Harriet: „CJ, this is your new sister Claudine. She is legally dead. Say hi to Claudine!“

CJ: „Hi Claudine!“

CJ: *slowly turns at her siblings*

CJ: „Why is she legally dead?“

Harry and Harriet: „Hey! She was like that when we got her!“

(It was Frollo's fault. Fuck that man.)

„Claudine?“ „Yeah?“ „You grew up in a cult.“ „...Oh.“

This conversation takes place at least once a day.

Uma knows what do the sisters do for living. That said, she doesn't care. It makes for pretty interesting family dinners though:

Uma: „So, CJ, how did your husband die?“

CJ, smiling sweetly: „Natural causes.“

Harry, choking on his drink: „You pushed him off the roof!“

CJ, smiling wider: „Yeah. Gravity is natural.“

Harriet is just siping her wine throughout the entire conversation.

Ok, now, CJ's first husband was Gaston Junior (I'm sorry & rest in peace). I'm mentioning this only because he is/was mostly immune to wide array of poisons due to his sheer size, never even mind physical attack, and I find the image of fairly petite CJ getting increasingly pissed that her dumb husband just won't die hilarious.

At the end, she got him drunk and dragged him to the roof to go stargazing, since it's so romantic activity to do on such a beautiful night, no?

And eventually, he... Slipped. Gravity is natural, after all.

Harriet is also harbouring fugitives in one of her completely legally inherited manors. (Here is where Sammy Smee comes into play )

She is using another one of these for her rendezvous with Ginny and Anthony.

Harry tried persuading Uma to take another of those properties as housing for her gang (because of course that Uma collected a gang), but luckily for him, she was fine where she was. Luckily, because he didn't ask Harriet first.

Uma ends up crashing at his flat pretty often, though, so he isn't complaining.

And yeah, in between Uma herself, her gang of street menaces, her wide folder of blackmail and wider array of favours owed to her, Harry, who is gonna get pissed on her behalf, and his sisters, who will back him up... You don't wanna fuck with Uma.

CJ is on the ace spectrum in this, because I said so. It makes being a black widow a good bit easier, and, like, good for her.

Freddie does have a bit of a crush on her though. There isn't gonna be anything, because a) CJ isn't one hundert percent into it and b) Freddie would know better than to hook up with a black widow anyway (unlike Ginny Gothel and Anthony Tremaine.)

Harry has been trying to figure out whether his younger sister and the singer are hooking up or not for the better part of the last year. Unsuccessfully.

They hang out pretty often, but they do other stuff. Normal stuff. You know, do eachother nails, hair, gossip about fashion, play with the Ouija board a bit, bitch over the price of arsenic on the black market... You know, like you do.

They are having fun.

And yes, CJ is an arsonist in this AU too.

That particular hobby of hers was sparked when she helped her older sisters start a completely accidental fire in the office of the match factory her third husband owned. ...While said husband was inside. What a terrible tragedy.

[eskelwolfed]

I wanted to keep quiet about this since I have a paragraph on smut in my rules, but I guess I have to be very direct about it once more.

I love smut. I love writing it, I love reading it, I love it when a story is 90% smut and 10% plot. I'm so super comfortable with smut happening, that's why I have a multimuse that's smut centric and I literally have a succubus OC. You can't play a succubus if you're uncomfortable with smut.

BUT ladies and gentlemen and fellow enbies,

that doesn't mean we have to write it if we're active partners. You want a story driven plot? Gimme. You like to fade to black? Alright! You need some time to open up and be comfy with smut? VALID. You're ace, sex repulsed, hyposexual or WHATEVER and you just don't want to write smut? VALID AS HELL GUYS.

Just don't -- don't shame me for being a lover of filth. Don't act like you're holy, because smut is a rare thing for you. Don't put yourself on a pedestal and preach how you need a "connection" or "chemistry" to ship or write smut.

BECAUSE guess what. I'm the same. Sometimes I don't feel the smut. Sometimes just throw your muse at mine and they be fucking in reply no.3. It doesn't matter really! As long as we vibe and respect another! I can write 90% plot and feelings and 10% smut OR LEAVE IT OUT COMPLETELY. I'M A SKILLED WRITER Y'ALL. I'm doing the tango since I'm 14 years old!

We all roleplay for the fun of it, or as an escapism or exploring something you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole in your own personal sexual expression. ALL OF THIS IS VALID. It doesn't matter why you RP, but it matters how you treat your partners, especially when you have different opinions about smut.

I'm allosexual and queer and yes, for fuck's sake, I'm sex positive and I'm ship positive and some of my muses are hella promiscuous. If you demand respect for your choices, you'll have to learn respect other people's choices, too. It's that simple.

Also btw, since the old reblogs confused some of you:

Eskel is not gay. Eskel is not Geralt shipping only. Eskel is not hypersexual.

He was planned that way, because ep. 2.02 broke me, guys. I wanted him to have a happy ending obviously. When I started writing him I did not have in mind to make him my primary muse. But I got so entangled with him, I love him so much, he just became what he is now.

Eskel is pan- and demisexual, I ship him with boys and girls and enbies, I ship him with human characters, with elves, werewolves, demons... but even the amount of sex he has -- you have to keep in mind that all of the threads are technically starting off a 'clean slate'. Means, when he meets a girl and he hasn't felt for a girl in AGES, he'll be surprised, because he is mainly still a little more attracted to men - every thread will handle the connection he has as unique. He has like half a dozen verses, but in every thread it basically starts off in a different timeline.

I still ship him with Geralt, but man, all the amazing OCs of my partners? *chef's kiss* and even though they never met canonically (in the show), right now I'm much more enamoured by Jaskier/Eskel. I love the potential angsty ship Lambert/Eskel.

In my opinion, he indeed shifted from being very hyposexual on the spectrum to the middle.

I started playing him as a massive submissive bottom, and that's still his usual preference with male partners, but he can also take the lead.

Overall, characters aren't written in stone. The longer you write a canon character, the more he becomes "original" as you drop stuff you don't like about the canon portrayal, etc. And we all agree that Witchers are horndogs, right? They're canonical horndogs. ALL OF THEM.

AND ANOTHER THING just because I'm a massive smut slut I'm not less of a skilled writer of what happens inside a character (and I'm not talking about the penetration here). Angsty-Shippy threads can have a much more in depth character building and analysis than a monster killing thread.

This is the very last time I'll speak about this. I'll add a statement to my rules and everyone who follows me and comes complaining about Eskel or any of my other muses being "sex crazed" will just get a block. I'm tired of being shamed for enjoying smut.

[acespec-ed]

hi :) before i begin, i'd just like to thank you for this tumblr, it's been really helpful <3. i'm ace, but i think i've been experiencing sexual attraction to my bf recently. like before i wanted lots of hugs and kisses, and still do, but now i wouldn't mind if that led to sex. i have bad self esteem and stuff and haven't actually had sex with anyone, but before i don't think i would thought about having sex at all. idk if i should identify as ace anymore because of this. like are allos

hi i'm the ace now attracted to her bf sorry this is getting rrly long :/ (continued) attracted to someone because they'd like to do sexual things with them? because initially i didn't want to but now i do. but also my feelings towards sex aren't that strong like i wouldn't mind it but i don't think i'm explicitly like really wanting it? but then again like i haven't had sex so like wouldn't know if i'd like to do it or not. i've talked with my bf abt it but still a bit ambivalent on if i'm ace.

hi i'm the ace now attracted to her bf this is the last bit :/ (continued) he supports me anyways because sex wasn't an expectation in our relationship, but like what genuinely counts as sexual attraction? like i've been riddling with this for days and i'm still not sure whether i feel it or not. thanks in advance for answering my very long ask <3

Sounds kinda like how things turned out when I first started dating my boyfriend who I ended up being sexually attracted to. I didn't know I was ace back then, but a few years later, I stumbled upon the term "demisexual" and identified with it for a time. I just want to throw that out there.

As for sexual attraction, it's possible you are feeling it. There's, like, a sort of scale to how strong sexual attraction can feel. For me personally, when I feel it, it's ridiculously over-the-top strong. But it turns out I'm acespike, which is when you rarely feel sexual attraction, but when you do, it's strong af. Allos don't always feel it strongly. It's an individual thing for them. Some feel it strong, some don't. But also, some acespecs feel it strong, and some don't. Whether or not someone wants to call themselves ace for feeling it on the weak end is up to the person. Some people who feel it weakly still identify as ace because they still feel othered by it, or relate to aces more than allos. Allos, even those who feel it weakly, don't. It's a personal decision. If you are feeling sexual attraction, it's probably on the weaker end.

Generally, sexual attraction involves feeling urges to do sexual things with a specific person. If you're feeling those urges towards your boyfriend, you're probably sexually attracted to him. If there's no urges, and you just feel willing to have sex with him in general, then it's probably not sexual attraction. You can have sex with someone to make them happy, or to satisfy your own libido, without being sexually attracted to the person. (Satisfying your own libido would be, being turned on in general and willing to have sex to scratch that itch. Sexual attraction would be feeling a carnal need to have sex with a specific person.)

Judging strictly off the information you gave me, I would say you're either experiencing sexual attraction weakly, or simply changed from being disinterested in having sex with your boyfriend to being open with having sex with your boyfriend. These things can happen.

If it is sexual attraction, and your boyfriend is the only person you've felt it towards, you can still be on the ace spectrum. You could be demi, or you could be gray asexual. Or even "asexual with one exception." It's up to you how you want to identify. So don't feel like you have to turn in your ace card just because you're sexually attracted to one person. I know how hard it is to feel ace when in the throes of sexual attraction. I've been there a couple times. But the gray area of asexuality covers those who rarely/weakly experience it, or only under certain circumstances. So you can still call yourself ace regardless. But again, only you can make that final decision. 💜

[heartstringsduet]

happy nice ask day! i absolutely love your fics and love seeing you on the dash!! i’d love to know about your writing process—anything from music you listen to, to what inspires you, etc. also, what does your dream storyline for any character on lone star look like? —maddie/reyesstrand <3

Happy one day after NAD <3 Thanks for asking and the sweet sweet compliments. I'm glad you like my writing and my chatty online presence! I can say the same about you <3 Soooo, inspiration is 80% music, 10% tv shows, 10% the modicum of horniness of someone on the ace spectrum lol And let me tell you about my writing process: I have a vague idea. Let's say: story about why TK likes lizards. and maybe one more plot point like: he saw one at rehab he found comfort in. That's it. That's when I sit down to write because I promise you, my hands lead me somewhere if I want them to or not. I often write 2k+ words (for a 10k story) that meet the snippet graveyard because those scenes make no sense for the storyline. It's really hard for me to stay focused, have a throughline and it's the thing that I love, how fun and surprising it can be to see, wow, I didn't even have an idea for this but within seconds, it sprang up on me. And I hate how it makes me feel like I truly can't write consistent stories the way I admire others doing. Know that it is the one thing I'm super jealous of for literally every fic I read by you all. Someone once said, Danger Zone is all over the place and super confusing and I was like...girl I know??? It made me quite sad because it's something I'm aware of and sometimes I'm fine with it and other times I want to throw my stories in the garbage because with how I write, I sometimes only find the true core of the story on page 150 and then would have to rewrite a LOT or just live with it being a subpar story. I planned out First Aid chapter by chapter. I tried. Now I have like 7k to delete at least and it's near impossible to stick to the storyline with how spontaneous I write. Oh welllll. Wheeew. Another nack I have is making everything wordy and dramatic instead of light hearted. 😬 Oh god I already wrote an essay over here but for the last question, a storyline I'd love to see is TK reconnecting with Enzo and Jonah and having him visit and see how Carlos and him can care for him for a bit. I don't necessarily want them to be parents actually, but I love TK so goddamn much and that guy deserves to have a bit of actual family. And how fun would a single episode be of the chaos a toddler can bring? I just need a bit of light-hearted fun again for Tarlos.

[whatimdoing-here]

weird personal update under cut, mostly for those who've been around awhile. i guess i can put an intro too.

honestly there are so many new followers here i'm assuming for gif reasons but... like.. sorry guys. it's a fairly rare thing. others do them better and quicker than me for the most part. my poor 7 year old laptop i make them on is a struggle. new person intro to me below, but first let me get to the part where i journal so it's off my chest.

i use tumblr as a journal of sorts. and honestly it's thanks to tumblr in general i started questioning my sexuality when i was in my mid 20s. living in a very white, conservative state - even if you live in a liberal family, that shit just gets ingrained. i was never homophobic or anything, just didn't consider anything other than straight an option. long story short, figured the bi was the best label for me at that time, definitely made me feel better, and more like myself. my partner (husband) was like yeah that's cool all good i support you let me know if you need anything from me and it's been great since.

another... long-ish story in a shorter form... i started struggling the last year or two with all of it again. just feelings and s.x feelings and whatever, a big reason of why i started therapy. basically come to the decision i land on the ace spectrum somewhere. i know much less about being asexual, and it definitely doesn't feel as "good" coming to this realization. i think i probably fall close to the demi- label. but labels and feelings are hard. and since 1) i'm pretty uneducated and 2) no one wants to hear about my sx life, i'm not going to go into things. i just wanted to throw out there that... i'm still figuring shit out. this convo with m was a lot harder, went a lot worse. then there was a better second convo. he's still supportive, it's just harder for reasons that are personal to him so i won't delve into. our relationship is okay, he doesn't want to open our marriage, and not much has changed honestly. i'm still trying to figure out my boundaries, and where my 'am i doing this because i want to or feel like i have to' lines are. it's... not fun. adding to that that if things ever came to the point where our marriage wouldn't work... that completely changes not only my life in a large way, but the kids, and m's. that is the fuckin scariest thing. sexuality discovery would be way less scary if i wasn't scared it will eventually negatively affect people in my life. i'm very much a "i will accept this thing that's not great for me and be quiet to keep the calm and happiness of those around me" in most cases. i don't like taking up space for myself. it's been a rough couple months.

anyway if i had to label i'd go with biromantic, asexual (with some ace labels i may or may not ever figure out)

getting older is a fuckin trip. you think you should know what you want and who you are but no one really knows. and life changes us and we discover more about who we are. for those newbies that are not even 20... your 20s and 30s are great. just... be prepared to shift and change and evolve and be okay with that.

anyway. new folks. i'm alex. i live in the middle of the us. i have two kids (boys, 8 and 5) that... i've been on tumblr longer than either of them have been alive. i work from home in (broadly) a data role within a corporation. i enjoy my work, its flexibility, and just data in general. give me numbers. i've been married for 14 years this june, and i'll be 34 in july.

i watch nwsl and uswnt for sports mostly. working on reading more novels again. obviously my tv obsessions are clear within minutes of looking at my blog. i talk parent stuff too sometimes, it's obviously a big part of who i am, but i'll leave their names and pics off the blog for their safety. i'll show my stupid face here though. sometimes i'll talk about seizures (i have them occasionally, unfortunately, and my brain isn't feeling great right now) and other medical stuff if it's bothering me because this place really is like a journal release for me. i hold some stuff back but yeah. i'll tag with 'personal nonsense' if you want to mute. sometimes i post and delete because i read it again later and decide no one needs to read that shit.

you're always welcome to say hi. i'm fairly harmless, but also keep walls up until i know you better.

uhhh i think that's it. mmmbye

#personal nonsense #it's long under the cut heads up #i've seen some 18 year olds follow me and honestly yall are gonna be so bored here #i didn't reread this and it was very much a ramble so good luck

[lowkeyclueless5137]

Spider Ace au, because I really am a clown ;-;

I have the most wierd brairots ever... :3

Bc I woke up one day and said 'Spider-Man Ace and Deuce as MJ'

In here everyone is  human so ye...

And also author has super limited knowledge about the MCU universe... Like I got lost around the whole 'multiverse and past shit'...

so you can tell me if I'm wrong(facts-wise), but this au will be probably very far-fetched from the MCU universe as I want to give another take on it than just following the cannon... So if it's not your cup of tea, Please don't read

But I still enjoy mindlessly watching the movies. :3

Now let's get onto it! Under the cut it would be the main plot plus some of the characters that I already polished enough to say 'yeah... They have a role in this au'...

Ace's brother worked in the science field, at a renowned Company along his gf(who's in another branch, so Ace has to suffer through his brother's ramblings about that girl)

So in his first year of high school, Ace had a field trip to that company. He was praying to the Gods that his brother won't embarrass him. So like... An experimental spider got out and you know where this is goin... Ace Gets bitten and everything. But the effects start to kick in a bit later, when he has to return to the dorm.

He was rooming with Epel so when he saw the wobbly ginger, Epel just dragged him around. At one point they passed by a confused Deuce.

Epel told him that 'it's totally not a corpse...' before dragging the unconscious Ace again.

So Ace Gets his powers and Epel is the first one who caught onto it because 'I killed that mf spider that was crawling out of your damn hoodie... So get your fucking clothes cleaned yourself'

And Ace Gets to be the totally not dumb Spider-Man.

Meanwhile... Deuce was just your average boy... He was trying his best to keep that honor student impression. But he sometimes slips and punches the shit out someone who decides to pick on him or his friends: Jack and Sebek.

So one day, Jack presents to the other 2 his bf Epel... And bc Epel was a lil shit and knew Ace's big af crush onto Deuce... He decided to drag the ginger along.

Ace was so flustered that his powers acted on their own and he was sticking onto everything.So he unintentionally starts a food fight in the cafeteria when one of his webs(yes... Ace can make webs like in the first movie... He uses other substances made by Epel to give them additional effects) caught onto a food tray and he yanked it, hitting Jack in the face, which made Epel to throw hands with any poor unfortunate soul that owned that tray.

Ace literally just doesn't want to face Deuce because of the sheer embarrassment.

But at night... Ace was just patrolling around (even if Epel told him no) when he saw on a more dark alleyway that Deuce got in a gang fight and was losing due to the number of enemies.

But Spider-Man saves him :D

And they have that iconic upside-down kiss... And Ace really gets his hopes up with that.

But we need a villain... At least one...

Well... Lately attacks of a misterious beast were found. Some theorised it was an animal which broke loose from zoo. Other said it was a terrorist organisation. Only thing that is known is that no one was wounded, but extremely big material damages were done. Along that... At the place of the crime... Flowers were found. They were beautiful, but not registered as any kind of known species...

On the other end of the spectrum... Floyd had some bad days... He lost some interest in the tests, which again made his grades to flop. And his boyfriend, Riddle, was more panicky lately, since his mother wanted to visit him and inspect his dorm(he was sharing a dorm with Azul, which was a big relief) and he couldn't really get out of his head the memory of that failed experiment he had on a plant for his assignment.

Deuce befriended Riddle by just standing up for him against some bullies of the redhead. So they were hanging out, Riddle tutoring Deuce at biology and chemestry.

It was when of those tutoring days, where Deuce was at Riddle and Azul's dorm that Mrs Rosehearts decided to 'pay a visit'...

Riddle wasn't expecting that surprise inspection, so he forgot to hide his little window flowers. It was a little hobby of his to take care of them. Azul suggested it since it's not really that demanding.

Mrs. Rosehearts didn't really like that her son found other occupations other than studying. Nor that he associated himself with someone 'with bad influence' like Deuce... Riddle feels extremely embarrassed and angry when his mother just nags him in front of the really confused Deuce.

Boy came only to study at chemestry and maybe chat a bit with his friend...

So when Mrs Rosehearts slapped Riddle... Imagine the shock and fear Riddle had on his face. It wasn't because he was embarrassed... No... That wasn't it. He was starting to panic, telling Deuce to run away as fast and as far as he could.

Because a beast came after them. It was big, scaly, with a long slimy tail and it even had water adaptations.

Mrs Rosehearts wanted to throw away those pots with plants when suddenly the plants themselves wrapped around her hands and immobilised her completely, exactly when the beast broke in.

It was a little side effect from that failed experiment that Riddle rather not shared with anyone. And that was that plants listened to his demands now...

And that whenever he would spiral in panic, the gigantic beast appeared.

So Spider-Man comes on the set... To save Deuce first...

Since Riddle had lost it and now was searching for comfort from the beast itself, trying to catch Ace with his plants because he was attacking the monster, which Riddle wouldn't allow.

Deuce finds a chair and just smacks the beast with it, but the enemy dodged it and threw the chair at Mrs Rosehearts :3

Being in a small space, Ace had little space to move around and dodge... So the beast managed to claw at him when Ace wanted to protect Deuce, getting his stomach aera first. Getting the smell of fresh blood the beast entirely lost it and now was going apeshit.

Seeing this, Riddle had no other option than to summon out of his hand that wierd flower and put it to the beast's nose, to smell it.

That unknown flower was actually Riddle's own creation. It was meant to have a calming scent, which he used to clam down the beast and force it to return to normal, which was just a tired Floyd.

And Deuce is a lil shit and after bandaging his saviour a bit sloppy and letting him leave, the blue head filled a confession as a witness that indeed, Mrs Rosehearts was responsible for this.The next day... Ace was more wobbly onto his feet. Epel bandaged him and told him 'ya shouldn't play romeo so often'... (yes... Epel will be that iconic sassy mf) but Ace had none of it.

Ace wanted to tell Deuce how he felt!

But Deuce rejected him. It wasn't because of how Ace was... But it was because Deuce's heart belongs to someone else. (Jack passed by with Epel and mouthed to Ace 'Spider-Man' as Epel was snorting a laugh)

Ace wasn't heartbroken, knowing that Deuce loves him... He just loves his alterego who saved him several times and had an upside-down kissing session. So Ace was in his dorm room after classes, walking around the ceiling and contemplating how to tell Deuce that he's Spider-Man. Epel just smacks him in the head and tells him that it's a very very dumb idea.

But before continuing... Ace Gets a phone call, that his dad was returning in here... Mr Trappola was working aboard so of course it was really important when he came over. He came over with the sole reason of spending time with family. So still being awkward with Deuce... Ace decided to get his mind off for a bit by having a night stroll... The news of his father coming were actually great news for Ace... Which helped his mood a bit.

So for a few days... Ace dropped by his home to stay with his bro and Mr Trappola. But one day, Ace forgot his dorm keys and phone in there.

Mr Trappola offered to drop by and leave to Ace the said objects.

Ace on the other hand, passed by an convenience store, bumping into a wierd man when he entered. Epel nagged him all day that they didn't have anymore milk. So Ace had to do groceries after a failer rock-paper-scrissors match. Meanwhile... Deuce bumped into Mr Trappola, the older one recognising Deuce from Ace's bg phone photo, where him along Deuce, Jack, Sebek and Epel were making a selfie after a hangout.

Deuce recognised the other from Ace's photos and stories. It was wierd, but nonetheless, the 2 went a bit onto the side to chat a bit, as to not disturb the passer-bys.

And it was a bad thing the 2 got on the side. You know that wierd man who bumped into Ace?

Yeah... That man bumped into Mr Trappola and because he and Ace were so look-alike... That man confused Mr Trappola for Ace... And in a sudden rage... He attacked him with a knife. Deuce, being took aback, but having a history of gang fights, riposted too.

All 3 of them ended up toppling on an alleyway. Mr Trappola had a chest wound from the knife and Deuce was trying his best to keep the attacker far from the wounded.

Ace was passing by when he sees this and doesn't even spare a second to change... He just shoots his webbs onto the attacker and punches him into a wall in that sudden rage he had. Deuce had to take Ace off the attacker as to not kill him. The blue head called an ambulance as quick as he could while Ace was desperately trying to just patch up the wound.

When the medics arrived... They couldn't do anything more... Mr Trappola lost too much blood. They were too late.

He was dead...

It all came crashing down to Ace when they told him that. If only he was faster. If only he didn't forget his things... If only, if only...

Deuce could only offer a hug to the other as Ace was snuggled in his embrace, crying. He lost his father. And he couldn't do anything about it...Ace couldn't anymore. Especially since he did show his powers to him. He told Deuce in private that yes... He was Spider-Man... Ace was too heartbroken by his father's death to even care anymore. Deuce was there only to comfort him, since it was traumatising for him too...So after the funeral... Ace had that gloomy period... He still had episodes where it haunted him and it pushed him onto blaming himself, but Deuce was there to remind him that 'hey... It's not your fault that guy attacked first'...

Yes... Ace and Deuce end up unconsciously dating... They realise it after months...

I also really wanna tackle far from home too... Since I do have and idea about it. But it won't really have anything to do with endgame or infinity war... Like nothing... Nada...

But side-note: Kalim is Iron man in this... Boy is a genius, but most of the time he gives the impression that he isn't. Jamil is his secretary and soon-to-be husband (they are engaged)OK... So in here... It was a a year or so since all that shit happened. Ace's class and another one who was one year above them were going on a field trip through Europe.

But since Kalim was in a mission throughout USA... Leona(who's fucking Nick Fury (nick furry sorry, but it must be said) in this) wanted Ace to join in the Europe mission.

Ace said no, since 1. Epel will throw hands if Ace dares to ruin this trip for him. 2. He wanted a romantic trip with Deuce, who lately was took as a pupil by a Doctor... (Ace didn't really ask about it more, he was just happy for his happy bf)

First stop: Italy, Venece(did I write it right?)

Ace really wanted to get for Deuce a souvenir and also get with him on a romantic boat ride... But since their teacher(Crow man for F'S sake. Divius was there too just to sigh in done with life) got them in a rundown hotel... The vibe was a bit not romantic.

By insisting on being put in pairs of 4, Jack and Epel roomed with Adeuce, while Sebek was a mf who roomed with Silver, Ruggie and Floyd... They partied hard in there.

But Leona shows up. :3

And he knocks out only Epel. And Deuce, since Jack was an agent of his. Ace really doesn't wanna... So he refuses a second time.

And maybe Ace should have joined that mission. Since apparently a water monster appeared when they were with the gondolas. Adeuce were ready to kiss... Come on!

Imagine Ace's surprise when Deuce summoned a portal straight to their room, so Ace can get his suit.Deuce tells Ace to just 'shut up and save the day' because it wasn't the time to explain shit. Deuce just kicks Ace's ass through the portal :3

So a misterious superhero appears, which Ace really has no more chill and social battery to deal with.

Meanwhile. Ruggie knocks out passer-bys who saw the beast form Floyd while Riddle was chasing after him with his flowers to calm him down. Ruggie works for Leona too.

But he gets dragged anyway by Leona to explain him what's going on. Deuce arrives a bit later at them, at Leona's insistence, since his mentor was occupied too. (Yes... Dr Strange is Deuce's mentor... I thought it would be fun if Deuce got to kick ass with magic.)

Leona is really so done with Ace being all like 'no... I don't wanna'. Deuce promises to Leona to convince Ace to join in the mission...

Meanwhile Epel throws hands with Ace the moment he enters the door, since Jack filled him up with everything. Jack had to give Ace a little gift from Kalim... It was a pair of sunglasses...

Ruggie comes over the gays and tells them that they should pack, since they are going now to (IDk where it was... But I believe it was at some festival or smth...) to see an opera.

Ace fucking knows that it's Leona's doing, but at least he hopes they'll go somewhere nice...So they get busted again by the said elemental monsters. Deuce knows something is fishy since his mentor really didn't tell him about those monsters at all. And he did study first the said threats of the earth.

Ace discovers that those sunglasses from Kalim were actually operating an army of super high tech satellites. Epel is so hyped about it that he wants to see how those glasses work.

But they can't, since that wierd superhero they were paired up with, steals those glasses. So... Ace Gets thrown in Olanda... And boy gets found out by Jamil...

Jamil found Ace because of Jack calling him, Deuce being held hostage by that fake hero... And Epel throwing another table through the window because he had to track down Ace.

And also because someone guessed that the glasses password was 'coconut' and now they broke the security code.

Epel fancies a more durable and better spiderman suit for Ace along Kalim who puts his imput from time to time, while Jack is trying to get a grip onto Leona.

Meanwhile... Deuce obliterated some poor enemy soul's nuts. And Silver just vibes with his newly acquired boyfriends.

Sorry Leona... Ruggie is busy having a more successful romantic life than u.

That's an omage to Boris(on Discord)... Who introduced me to that chaotic Silver who gets the equivalent of a harem.

They have to bust that trickery illusion of a mega monster and everything. Deuce still tries to get out, but he needs his ring to make a portal to escape. Ring which was at the 'fake hero' who claimed that Deuce was killed by the monster. (Leona groans in the distance, knowing what nagging will come from Dr. Strange for putting his dear pupil in danger)

Jamil holded Kalim from intervening as this was Ace's fight. Now Ace was invested in this because they got his bf... They will pay :3

So getting in the eye of the storm, Epel guides Ace until in the middle, where he loses contact because of the drones which were making the communications hairwire...

Ace fights with the said fake hero, as Deuce tries to get back his ring. Seeing that his bf was trying to get something from the enemy, Ace manages to snatch the sunglasses and deactivate the drones, then proceeding to tie up with webbs the said enemy as Deuce got his ring back and the 2 got outta here.

Epel used a rocket launcher onto some drones and now he fell in love with it. Jack really is exhaling in the distance. So now that everything is settled... And finally Ace was left to finish his trip like he deserves...

He goes with Deuce onto the big bang and have a little romantic date under the moon light. That's where Ace gives to Deuce his gift: A silver bracelet. He picked it up from Venece as a gift for Deuce. He wanted to give it to him on the boat ride, but they got busted over and over again.

And they kiss...

Meanwhile Leona exhaled again when Silver respondes accidentally on Ruggie's phone. They had a nice night too... Leona... Deal with it. Your workers got a better romantic life than ya.That's it... The gays... Silver getting the start of his harem(he will eventually get Kalim and Jamil by the end of the trip, when they meet with Ace to give their best wishes and congratulate him along Jack, Epel and Deuce on their good job.) Crowley getting karma... Crewel... Existing... Floyd just causing mass property damage and Riddle smacking him with flowers...

The rest of the boys are somewhere around there... Living la vida loca sparkles.

So... A smol recap: an half-assed thought of mine that turned into a full blown mild au with Adeuce as main focus. Everyone is human... (so and so)... Ace is Spider-Man... Deuce is MJ and everything stays up to a somewhat formula(fighting bad guys, getting on dates, shit happening)

Now I wanna present the characters into somewhat depth... :3

1.Ace- the totally not idiot Spider-Man

Ace was your average boy. Interested in sports, trying to keep afloat with studies. Having crushes and everything. His family situation is actually nice. His brother is already working as a scientist... His Father works aboart... His mother has a little flowershop...

It all takes a turn when Ace is in a field trip and gets bitten by a radioactive spider.

From there on, the story becomes as we know it: Fighting bad guys, having crushes, fighting more bad guys, getting a kiss... And dealing with more bad guys...

Ace abuses of his powers a lot: weather he uses his webs to prank on his roommate, Epel, or having his 6th sense kicking in so he could avoid fights or collateral damage. Ace totally takes advantage of this.

But eventually he will learn that responsibilities always come in the package. His father's death was what marked him as a wake-up call to reality. From that incident on, Ace was taking things more seriously.

1.Deuce-Ex delinquent and now a pupil to a misterious doctor

Deuce knew about impressions. And with his dark past as a delinquent... Deuce wanted to turn in a new leaf in high school. Study hard and Excell into something as to make his mother proud.

With that new mindset and a bucket list full of self-expectations, Deuce got a new reputation as a 'goodie 2 shoes' from others. It was rare to see Deuce snap and completely K.O. A bully.

Which is why Riddle was the first one to see that part of Deuce. The 2 befriended, especially since Deuce stood up to the redhead. Riddle now tutors Deuce at biology and chemistry. And still does it up to this day... Even after that incident...

Eventually, Deuce gets roped into a relationship with Ace. It's wacky, extremely unpredictable and neither of them were actually aware they were dating until someone pointed it out months after they started to do it.

After that, Deuce accepted an offer for a summer internship. Ace didn't question him too much. He trusted Deuce. He knew Deuce wouldn't cheat or anything. Yes, Ace had some worries that Deuce might get hurt or something, but overall, Ace was supporting his boyfriend about it.

Deuce discovered that the one who offered him an internship was actually Doctor Strange(or Doctor Boris...) who wanted a pupil to follow his footsteps. Deuce started to learn from there, especially to use his magic for good.

2.Epel-The reluctant sassy mechanic prodigy

Epel got to that high-school through one of the many offers he got. Epel was a great mechanic, even though he wanted to study pharmacy. He still is pursuing his passion, mechanics being just a hobby Epel indulges in from time to time.

His dormmate is none other than Ace. The 2 quickly get along as a duo of troublemakers. But after Ace Gets his powers, Epel is the one that suggests to become a hero and everything.

Now Epel is your very tired and done with life high-school student who would rather stay with his boyfriend than deal with the ceiling webbed books Ace arranged for him. Because he realised he had to pursue his mechanics too, Epel gets to be tutored by Idia, a robotics genius.

Epel is intrigued by Ace's power to create webs... So he always has a little sample of them on his desk, trying substances and testing it in order to unlock new looks of it and new functions that Ace could use.

3.Kalim and Jamil-Iron man and his Jack of all trades Secretary

Kalim was gifted with a genius mind. He was very smart and could surpass other studious teens just when he was little. The problem was... Kalim didn't entirely use his entire thinking capacity. It's hard for him to concentrate so the genius comes out unexpectedly, leaving the impression that Kalim is just a dumb rich guy. In truth, Kalim's genius what what actually made the Asim company flourish. Kalim got the company for his own management, Jamil working as his secretary and later on becoming his fiance and Co-director...

Kalim also grew fond of Ace, him and Jamil treating the ginger as their illegitimate child. Sometimes Kalim would drop by with a lunch pack... Or sometimes Jamil will ask Ace about his homework.

4.Jack-Double agent and local puppy himbo

Jack is in a relationship with Epel. Not much can be told about him at first glance: takes studies seriously, practices sport, has a good family and financial situation...

But his little 'part time job' is really what one should actually question.

Jack works a young double agent, under Ruggie's guidance and Leona's orders. Jack would rather not rope Epel into this, nor sebek and Deuce, his roomates, but apparently his own boyfriend wants to get roped into danger.

It is an almost usual case when Jack is carrying a struggling Epel away from danger, confiscating his weapon.

5.Riddle and Floyd-the really out of control couple

If you were a student in that high school, you would most likely know about the famous troublemaker Floyd Leech. A music talent and even a swimming prodigy, who suddenly dropped out, despite his brother and friend's encouragement.

And what was more outrageous, was the rumor that Floyd's boyfriend was the cause of it. Which would be a stretch, since Riddle was focused onto his own studies and always supported Floyd to excel in at least something.

Riddle, opposite to his boyfriend, was a very serious and a model student. He was studying mostly biology, but Riddle had an interest into law. People who happened to have lab classes with him, would know that Riddle was working after classes at a project. He wanted to prove that plants can protect each other, not just themselves. If you heard that, you would probably consider him crazy, but Riddle still wanted to study that little experiment, hoping that he could win a reward at this year's science fair.

Of course, there had to be envy on that project, who actually was giving promising results. Someone sabotaged Riddle's substances withouth him being aware of it.

So one day, Floyd visited Riddle while the redhead was doing his usual project research. Floyd Brought with him a fish bowl since he was put by a teacher to bring the fish in there. (and Riddle will nag him if he refused)

Riddle was trying to put a substance on the said plant pot, when Floyd barged in and scared the redhead, making Riddle to drop all of it onto both him and the plat pot. Seeing that, Floyd wanted to wipe it off Riddle the said substance, yet the pot started to shake and the plants exploded, pushing both of them on the floor and Floyd actually digesting some of the substance.

After both of them woke up, Riddle realised that instead of Floyd, a beast was laying next to him, checking if anything was out of order. It took a bit of time and shaking the shock off to realise what happened. Especially since plants seemed to sprout and help Riddle back on his own feet, as if he commanded them.

So for a week or so, both of them had to call in 'sick'. Riddle polished better his newfound skill, ending up creating out of his body a special flower that can revert back to human his boyfriend. But when Riddle's emotions would get the best of him, the flowers would wilt and return Floyd to the beast he was once.

Now both of them had a looming fear of getting caught and who knows what would happen to them if that became real.

6.Azul-The revenge seeking octopus guy

In here... Azul is that nerd who suddenly got a glow up... Students among school did question how he changed so suddenly during summerbreak... He was an almost complete 180... Unrecognisible even.

Azul was excelling, similar to Riddle, in biology and chemistry, having a leaning towards medicine and drugs making... Azul's mother was yet to marry again(she was engaged) and the 2 lived at the beach, further from the city, so Azul would go over break in there, while he stayed on his mother's fiancé over school year (that man was a nice guy and treated Azul as his own son)after his first year at highschool, which was a disaster socially speaking... Azul was dead set onto changing... he made a routine he would try, a diet plan, but the unusual thing in that plan was a drug... which Azul strived to perfectionate so that it would make his body acumulate less fats and burn out more lipids.

Being at his home,with no lab rats, Azul decided the best course of action was to test the final product onto himself... at that time, his mom left him home alone for 2 weeks bc she had to make some important business errands.

Yet no matter how much of a prodigy he was... the excitement made him to overlook a few numbers in his calculus...

at first it was the weird carvings... then when he accidentally cut his finger, blue blood came out. Azul started to feel nauseous and making long baths seemed to be the only thing soothing his pain...

One day, strolling on the beach, Azul felt like his breathing became ragged, uneven... and it was that moment, when he realised that he needed water to calm down the pain. So he threw himself in the sea...

a few minutes, almost hours... and Azul wasn't back home... instead a ship from a few miles away was misteriously sunked...

That was Azul's doing... one would say he wouldn't do such a balistic thing... since he was sane at the time...

but he was filled with rage... on that ship... a few of his bullies were... they threw into the water some heavy objects, which triggered Azul(comparing them to his school year where the same guys would throw things at him)... and sunk the ship in response. Of course... sinking a bigass ship meant having an immense power... which azul has gotten... he was a gigantic octopus mer... all of his lipis and fats were turned by the drug into muscles... for that to happen... the legs turned into heavy and long tentacles...but that form was temporary, as the drug kicked in finally after the 4th dose.... so azul was back to normal, except when he has gotten out of the water... 6 of his tentacles were still remaining... now sprouted from his bottom back, like a tail, but very heavy and hard to control...

so for that... Idia comes on set, blackmailed into making a corset and mechanical frames for the tentacles, so that azul can move them at will.

Azul also had to learn how to control his new breathing sistem(closing and opening his torso gills) which was a challenge that bathtub proved to be a solution. He also wanted to perfection his drug so he could stay and control that gigantic tako form... because it was extremely powerful... and at this point, Azul was addicted to both the drug and power to make people that wronged him kneel before his feet(or tentacles)but everything gets turned upside down when he realises that 'oh shit i'm attached to some of this idiots'

yes... Azul will be your lil psycho powerhungry octopus guy who gets attached by some dumb lil humans.

And actually gets enough confidence into confessing to his crushes. Idia(one of the crushes) begged Azul first to stop with his revenge seeking, since it was peak insanity in his vision, but Azul was dead set onto it. It was by the time both Idia and Malleus stepped in that Azul had to actually stop and realize what he actually was doing.

And in that guilt, Azul decided to consume a dangerously big amount of his drug(basically all of it) and retreat to the sea in shame, in front of everyone...

Now Idia and Malleus are searching for him along the twins.

Yes... That kinda is the entire Au until now... I am still up to debate on who should be who... I considered Malleus to be captain Marvel at one point(and still do)... And with my very limited marvel knowledge... This will probably turn out to be chaos...
