what with Flo posting the video about being on the thunderbolts set, I thought it was an appropriate time to mention that YELENA BELOVA IS CANONICALLY AROACE! not only that, but she is one of FEW aroace characters in ANY form of media, and i stg she better stay that way and yall better respect that
I don’t think they’ve confirmed it, but what is confirmed is that Yelena Belova is canonically asexual/aroace (im not 100% sure if aro is confirmed). it’s just sad and disappointing to see the possible erasure...
The assassin's out of the bag: I'm writing Yelena Belova, the White Widow, in her own series at Marvel!!
The delightful Alessandro Miracolo is bringing her to life, and we're kicking things off with this fabulous David Marquez cover!!
I love Yelena so much and I'm beyond excited to share her story with all of you. It's a wild honor to be trusted with the work of bringing the White Widow into her own world on her own terms. I can't wait to share what's in store - it's gonna be killer.

Yelena learns a lot about emotions while spending time with Kate. Now, how to deal with them? That’s another story.
*Guest appearance: Susan Gilbert (Dickinson) But in the marvel universe.
Chapters 4:
Just as Yelena has begun to process and accept her own feelings, another discovery is thrown into the mix when she has to perform an emergency rescue... courtesy of Susan.
I just saw a leak say Bucky and yelena will have a romantic subplot. No. We don’t want that. You can’t erase aroace rep and say that women are interchangeable with each other.
How Natasha and yelena view romance and sex is very different. For nat that’s something that matters a lot to her and is a part of her central story. Yelena has never shown any interest in it. She’s said that she isn’t interested in it.
Natasha and Yelena are separate characters and treat them that way.
Also not to mention they literally set up for Bucky to get with Sarah in fatws.
