It’s almost that time of year again! Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week is February 16th-22nd 2020!

I’ve been posting the Aro (and Ace for that matter) Awareness Week Fandom Challenges the past couple of years because it is a tradition that I don’t want to see die out. You are welcome to post your own prompt lists too if you have other ideas!

You can respond with any type of fanworks; fanfic, fanart, meta, edits, playlists, etc. You can make content for any characters who are canonically, or you headcanon as anywhere on the aromantic spectrum. Use the tags #AroAWFC, or #ASAWFC, and the more general tag for the overall event, #ASAW

Sun 2/16: Post about canon AroSpec characters

It's funny, or more like, really sad, that I hardly know any. The only one to really come to my mind so far is Jerome Jackson Trent from the webcomic Otherworldly.

He is one of the changelings who enrolled in the program to find their birth parents (as far as I know, he hasn't yet). He is very clever, and also anxious, and his main challenge (also, as far as I know as I am somewhat behind) is that his neighbour slash old friend decided to uncover the truth behind supernatural people living amongst us. Jerome is aro ace, as confirmed by art drawn by the creator. His asexuality has already come up before the point where I'm at, but his aromantism hasn't.

For day 4 of the aromantic awareness week fandom challenge, I’m posting about grey-aromantic headcanons! I headcanon Ultra Magnus | Minimus Ambus as grey-aromantic! Though grey-aromantic isn’t referenced explicitly in the text, I touch on some of my thoughts on Magnus being grey-aro in they don’t write songs for you, which is a post-LL7 au fic, angst-with-a-happy-ending, with the happy ending being centered around found family.

Rating: Gen

Fandom(s): His Dark Materials (Books and TV)  

Warning for spoilers for TV fans and/or those who haven’t read The Amber Spyglass

Summary:  Sometimes, it's good to look at things from another perspective. One might just learn something new about themselves, if they do - even people as in tune with themselves as Lee. Basically, a canon-divergence story after the events of His Dark Materials where Lee survives, adopts Lyra, and finds out he’s aromantic.

The main series (Tales of Tomorrow) focuses on Lee surviving the events of the trilogy (as in At the Edge of the Abyss) and short scenes into his life as follows where he adopts Lyra (Just North of Oxford). Most chapters in Just North of Oxford are simply one-shots, though some follow small narratives (such as Chapter 6, which is the premise of this particular story). 

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week to everyone in and outside the HDM fandom!

ASAW Fandom Challenge - 2/20: Post about Demiromantic Headcanons

Let me tell you all about demiromantic Wedge Antilles!! This started out as “the only ‘major’ aspec identity I haven’t headcanoned someone with is demiromantic” and casting about for a target and finding Wedge, but it’s gained so much traction in my mind! In Legends canon, we only ever see Wedge involved in three serious relationships - Mala, Qwi, and Iella - and showing interest in a few others that don’t go very far. I like the idea that this is because Wedge has to make a solid emotional connection with someone before he starts feeling romantically attracted to them, and with the way he lives and how long that takes for him, this is hard to do. For a very long time, Mala was the only relationship he’d ever had, and he was fairly young. The Star Wars 2013 comic mentions him having feelings for a lady pilot who died at Yavin, and I can see this being devastating for him because he managed to develop those feelings only to lose her before he could even tell her. Then there’s Qwi. By the time he meets her, Wedge is aware it takes him a long time to fall for someone, even if he doesn’t quite understand why or have the word. But he likes her as a person, and he hopes those feelings will come with time. But they never do. He can’t force them. I’m very fond of the idea of their amicable breakup involving her gently calling him on this and asking about his experiences, asking if he’s ever heard of demiromanticism, and this being how he finds the explanation for how he’s always felt. And then of course, there’s Iella - his demiromanticism perfectly explaining why it took so very long for his feelings for her to come to fruition and the relationship to get off the ground.

You also get this passage from The Krytos Trap with some very validating factoids: ~Since the death of his parents when he was young, Wedge has given “little thought” to romance and relationships ~He’s found companionship with various women but never an actual partner ~He can’t explain why not

Sounds a like a good arospec boy without the vocab to describe his identity to me!

Raphael Santiago

Orientation: Aromantic Asexual

Where: In the book series, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

―      Cassandra Clare, Son of the Dawn 

  “I’m not gay,” said Raphael. “I’m not straight. I’m not interested.” “Your sexuality is ‘not interested’?” Alec asked curiously. Raphael said, “That’s right.”

―     Cassandra Clare, The Red Scrolls of Magic    

Sources [1] “Raphael was bisexual, like Magnus? Raphael was Asexual.” [2] “I should have also said aromantic.” There are references in Born to Endless Night, Son of the Dawn, and The Red Scrolls of Magic.

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week Fandom Challenge 2018

So I think ASAW has had the same fandom challenge for the past few years, and so it seems like interest in participating has dulled a bit. So I wanted to get some new prompts out there! These are based on the AAWFC prompts I posted, but they’re new for ASAW!

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week 2017 is February 18 - 24!

Responses can be canon, headcanon, a simple statement, fanfic, fanart, aesthetic/moodboards, photomanips, playlists, meta, analysis, gifsets, quotes, etc.! Any kind of fan produced content that you believe fits within these prompts is welcome! Let’s generate as much content as we can!

As always the tag is “#ASAWFC”.

Sun 18th, Day 1: Post about canon and headcanoned aromantic/spectrum characters in books and comics.

Mon 19th, Day 2: Post about canon and headcanoned aromantic/spectrum characters in shows and movies.

Tues 20th, Day 3: Post about canon and headcanoned aromantic/spectrum characters in games and any other media not mentioned in the previous days.

Wed 21st, Day 4: Post about how a canon aromantic/spectrum character came out or how you believe a headcanoned aromantic/spectrum character would come out. Or post about them not coming out and why they haven’t.

Thurs 22nd, Day 5: Post about how a canon aromantic/spectrum character shows their pride or how you think a headcanoned asexual/spectrum character shows their pride. What kind of merch would they wear/display, would they go to pride, would they talk about being aro/spec, etc.?

Fri 23rd, Day 6: AU day! Post about what canon/headcanoned aromantic/spectrum characters from different fandoms that you would like to see meet. What would their meeting would be like, why would you like to see them meet, what sort of relationship do you think they’d have, etc.?

Sat 24th, Day 7: Post about aromantic representation in general. What does it mean to see aromantic/spectrum characters in the media you consume? Why is it important to you to see aromantic/spectrum characters in the media you consume? What sort of stories/plotlines would you like to see about aromantic/spectrum characters? What genre do you really want to see aromantic/spectrum characters in? How would you like to see aromantic/spectrum people represented? What sort of relationships would you really love to see aromantic/spectrum people in and navigating?

I meant to get these out sooner, but ran out of time. Sorry! I did get it out just in time for ASAW, though!

Mon 2/17: Recommend a fic featuring an Aro character (headcanoned or otherwise)

I am usually in fanfics for the shipping, so I haven’t really read any with aromantic protagonists. I haven’t written too many, either. I mean, Sherlock Holmes is always going to be aro in my fics, but it hasn’t been important to the stories in any way in the ones I’ve written. So the only one I really have is this Lone Ranger fic I wrote last year.

Uncle John

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20893127

I have written both John and Tonto as aromantic asexual and in a queerplatonic relationship, which is my personal favorite way of reading them. This is the part of the legend where they only just adopted Dan Reid (John’s nephew), and the three of them have to get used to each other. Because you can never have enough “superheroes randomly adopt children” stories. Also because I love seeing them as a family.

I have tried to write it in a way that you should be able to understand without knowing too much about the Lone Ranger mythos.

Caduceus Clay

Day 2 of the  AroSpec Awareness Week Fandom Challenge:

Mon 2/17: Recommend a fic featuring an Aro character (headcanoned or otherwise)

Ok so this is not a fic, but I headcanon Caduceus Clay from Critical Role as Aro (and Ace). Caduceus Clay is a firbolg cleric who worships The Wildmother. He was created and played by Taliesin Jaffe.

Cad is a sweet, gentle soul who worships nature and there is wonder in all he sees. He gives the best hugs, and is always around for a good chat or a shoulder to cry on. 

I tried to do a little drawing of him :D

The GIF is from the opening sequence of Critical Role
