#aromantic representation
To all the idiots who think the “A” is for allies:
I hope you step on really sharp legos. Over. And. Over. And. Over. Again.

With the Percy Jackson show out I want to remind/inform both old and new fans that Artemis and the huntresses are canonically aroace.
Cabin 8 is not “for the lesbians”, it’s for us. Rick stated that NO romantic relationships are allowed, and if two huntresses fall in love (like Emmis and Jo), they have to leave the hunt.
Let us have our representation. We do not and should not need to share when our representation is already extremely limited.

Rant About Alastor and him being aroace
I've seen a lot of people just blatantly disrespecting Alastor and his sexuality with these ships and fanfics. And I just wanna say as a aroace person y'all suck.
He is aroace through and through. The main argument I've seen people use to ship him is "aroace is a spectrum" and yes it is but Alastor lies on the very end. He doesn't want anything. And saying "I'm not erasing his sexuality" while shipping him or writing smut of him doesn't matter YOU ARE STILL ERASING IT! Believe it or not there are people who don't want anything romantic or sexual and Alastor is OUR representation and it sucks to see it being ignored and erased just because y'all can't keep y'all's dick in your pants.
If any other character's sexuality was disrespected like this y'all would be up in arms but just cause it's a sexuality you don't understand y'all just let it happen?
Stop erasing representation.

Marvel character Gwendolyn “Gwen” Poole aka Gwenpool has been confirmed aromantic and asexual!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gwenpool will come to terms with her sexuality in next week’s issue of Love Unlimited: Gwenpool, her current series which is made by an acespec creative team.
Acespec creators Jeremy Whitley @jeremywhitley, Bailie Rosenlund @bailiesartblog, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Alanna Smith @alannawrites and Kaitlyn Lindtvedt discuss Gwenpool’s asexuality and aromanticism in this new interview for Marvel.
It’s a really great interview, highly recommend reading it!
“Acespec people aren’t often shown in media and when they are, it’s often shown as a trope of being a broken thing that needs fixing. The more diversity and stories we can tell, the better.” -Kelly Fitzpatrick
Tumblr media
Love Unlimited: Gwenpool is available now from Marvel Unlimited. The concluding issue of this 6 part limited series will be out next week.
Tumblr media
Check out this reading list for Gwenpool if you’d like to read more of her comics!
Gwenpool is the second Marvel character to be confirmed asexual this year, although she will be the first to have her asexuality shown on-page.
Morgan Red was confirmed asexual back in March and his asexuality will be addressed in New Mutants Lethal Legion #5, out in July.

Remember when 20 motherfucking years ago a character got created who said "my first and only love is the sea" and then the writers and producers actually committed in validating said characters aro allo identity and didn't give him a romantic love interest even though there was pressure from the audiences to have him settle down and said character proceeded to become one of the most popular and beloved movie icons of the century. Yeah...

You, a monster fucker, have finally found a vampire… except that there’s just one problem.
“What do you mean you won’t suck my blood?”
“Does it look like I’m a blood sucking vampire? I’m a fruit bat! I don’t drink blood, that’s disgusting.”
“But… but my fantasies…”
“I’m more than just a kink! Ugh, humans and their fetishes.”
And then they were roommates.

“Rick did Artemis so dirty in PJO shes not aroace bla bla bla”
It’s almost like PJO isn’t completely accurate and they’re still characters for him to write. The fact y’all are so hurt by a character being aroace says a lot too.
Artemis is aroace. The hunters are aroace. It’s canon in the PJO universe go cry somewhere else because I’m not taking the aphobic shit

The more I engage with the aro community online, the more I feel that we just need.
More.
There's so many different flavors of aromantic and what that means for each person and it's sad to see infighting over what is and isn't valid representation and my advice to upcoming creators is to just.
More. Have more.
Aros who partner Aros who don't, Aros who like sex, aroaces, loveless Aros, loving Aros, Aros who focus on non romantic relationships instead Aros who focus on no relationships and find their own thing. All kinds. The microlabels too - did you even know of some of them? I bet you didn't. There's aromantic people who feel rom attraction only if it's reciprocated and vice versa! There's Aros who can't tell the difference between different types of attraction and so don't label anything. There's aros who only feel attracted after forming a deep bond. Who only rarely feel attraction. Or only under specific circumstances. There's so much variety in aromantic world. Have more representation. Just more.
I'd honestly say this for almost any type of minority rep (though there are nuances to approaching it). Bc when you have more, it's not so much pressure on getting it quote on quote "Right" at once and all your rep isn't riding on one character. Variety is always good. It avoids tokenization and coming across stereotypical

could we agree not to use the “not being able to feel romantic love is a curse and we need to find the cure” trope in fiction? like ever? it feels very dehumanizing
