#canon aro

[haileygonzales]

Aro rep in my books:

Take Me to Your Nerdy Leader (Bowden Anime Club): main character Paige is alloaro. A coming of age YA novel about friends, first times, anime, finding your confidence, and art.

Strange Worlds (Jensen in the Multiverse): The main character is aroace. He vaguely thinks about it in book 1 (where he learns about the identity) and confirms it in book 2. There’s other aro and ace characters. A portal fantasy: Jensen used to be a thief. Now he’s on a quest to save the multiverse from the evil Overlord.

Ancient Magic (Gray Stone Witches): Side character turned main character, Rachel, is alloaro and bisexual. This is confirmed in book 2. In book 3 and onwards she has her own POV. An urban fantasy novel about college witches who struggle to survive in a dangerous magical world while an enemy lurks in the shadows.

Luvian Code: main character, self-love Cupid, Theodosius is aromantic. A cozy urban fantasy novella about him reluctantly mentoring a fledgling Cupid, Kai, and teaching him the equality of the seven loves.

i like being silly on my account but i saw a post that really annoyed me today

people who only identify as asexual, can still have romantic attraction towards other people.

people who only identify as aromantic, can still have sexual attraction towards other people.

someone can be aroace. but some people are only the aro or ace. they mean different things and they’re both valid whether you identify as only one, or the other, or both.

#allosexual people never make an aroace headcanon again #they don’t mean the same thing #but they can overlap #it’s okay to head canon characters as aro ace #but know what they actually mean #we are real people #asexual #aromantic #asexuality #aromanticism #aroace #aroace artist #asexual artist #arospec #aspec

"we need more aroace characters" actually we need more aro characters. like just aro because every time a character is aroace the aro part of their identity is conveniently forgotten

#not to be mean or salty but like. every aroace character either is canonically just ace or is corrupted by fandom to just be ace #yes i'm ace yes i want more ace rep but i NEED ace rep to stop overshadowing aro rep ok #aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #acespec #aroace #aspec #1k

dunmeshi things. i've finally fully accepted that i can't be regular abt laios on main. also, mau! my oc! everybody make dunmeshi ocs naow!! <- my royal decree. (id in alts)

#dungeon meshi #labru #laios touden #kabru #lycion #niksartstuffs #ocs #the post-canon labru situationship is Real. fundamentally i think foils is sooo fun. but also fundamentally i do see laios as aro. #ik ik im super in love with him. but im also aro. and i have a vision. i know the path. #anyway im still posting this at 1am bcos im a little 😳😳. yknow. #this Does Not Mean that i will be posting my previous unposted laios drawings those are.... those are too much.

something interesting is that so many ppl are quick to ship alastor/vox and alastor/lucifer but when it comes to alastor/rosie everyone's sooooooo adamant that they're just friends lol

#and i say lol with a grimace #like #if ur hc'ing him as arospec (i wna say canon but amir said that not viv) then its all or none imo #like i personally dont ship radiostatic or radioapple but i rlly like radiorose #i just think its hypocritical to ship the former two with ur whole heart then turn around and go NO ITS JUST PLATONIC w rosie #like i see the most 'chemistry' between him and rosie anyway #like with vox*** and lucifer it Genuinely just reads as annoyance #hazbin alastor #hazbin vox #hazbin rosie #radiostatic #staticradio #radioapple #appleradio #radiorose #roseradio #hazbin hotel #ace #asexual #aro #aromantic #aroace

“They’re canonically x you can’t ship them with characters they’re not attracted to”

Vs

“I know they’re canonically aroace but I like the ship and x character is hot”

Shit like this brings the movement down.

Everyone validates queer representation until the character is aroace.

#taking into account of course that aroace people can date #but it is NOT! HOWEVER! A back door to disregard aroace characters. #get creative people. indulging in fantasies abt characters within the respectful bounds of their identity can be done! #hazbin hotel #I’m looking at you lot #hazbin alastor #Alastor #alastor the radio demon #Hazbin #aroace #asexual #aromantic #aspec #aro pride #ace pride #hot take #shouldn’t be a hot take but whatever #ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESPECTING A CHARACTER’S CANONICAL IDENTITY SHOULDN’T BE OPTIONAL #oops was that too hot? #I don’t care #yeah it’s a Bo Burnham reference

While I can't speak for other Alastor ships (but I'll tag you all and you can weigh in). But in the RadioApple/DuckieDeer fandom a lot of those making fanwork, including the smuttier stuff, are acespec/arospec themselves so maybe learn what is actually going on in these fandoms before try to gatekeep in their tags

#I don't like getting involved in discourse but this is getting annoying #I have been in fandoms with canon Ace/Aro characters before and NONE of them got this butthurt #and like I'm sure a lot of you are acespec/arospec too #and it's fine if you're uncomfortable #but block the tags/users #and if you MUST weigh in on this #then don't tag it with the various ships because you're not gonna change our minds #alastor hazbin hotel #radioapple #appleradio #duckiedeer #Radiodust #Chalastor #radiostatic #Radio Demon #Hazbin Hotel #Radiohusk #are there other alastor ships #this are the only ones I know #also sorry if they all have like 5 names like other hazbin ships #I only know the many names of the ships I'm in

It's all "you guys need to understand how SUBTEXT and CODING are usually the only confirmation of representation queer people get in media especially in older media" but once that subtext and coding is used to say a character might be aro or ace coded/have aro/ace subtext then suddenly it's not a valid way to claim representation. Then it's only "headcanon" or "not confirmed" like do you all hear yourselves? It'd be so much easier to say you hate aro/ace ppl at this rate!

#text #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #'thats not what the creator intended' when has that ever stopped queer ppl from finding queer rep? #its just obvious a lot of queer ppl dont include aro and ace ppl as queer #it was so blatantly obvious with out everyone threw the idea of subtext and coding out the window #when it came to ppl complaining abt riverdale erasing jugheads aroace identity #suddenly subtext and coding didnt matter when it was an aroace character #suddenly 'different iterations always change the characters sexuality! there is no canon!' #and it only happened to shut up aro and ace ppl who were rightfully upset #that our identities were thrown to the curb on one of our only representation in medua

i know everyone is allowed to have their own headcanons but there is just something about people ignoring neil's demisexuality that puts me off. this boy won't find anyone attractive at first sight, even if it is andrew. in fact, in the books he hated andrew at first, remember? he wasn't even into andrew until well into their truth for a truth game, he needs a strong emotional connection to someone for attraction to even come into the equation, so can we stop ignoring that?

#did we read the same books :/ #as smn on the aro spectrum #the erasure of neil's demisexuality makes me upset #yes everyone is allowed to have their own headcanons!!! #but why do we need to erase a character's canon sexuality for that? #neil josten #all for the game #the foxhole court #tfc #aftg #aftg rant

Happy late Valentine's Day or whatever

#art by me #ema skye #ace attorney #ace attorney fanart #''this cant be canon because she had a crush on edgeworth in rfta'' you have never been an aro teenager #aromantic #okay also this has to have been done before right. someone else has to know the vision here

[shmaroace]

so tired of people saying asexual when they mean aroace and aromantic when they mean asexual. they are not interchangeable words they have different meanings!!

#''asexual icon'' and it's someone who's aroace. ''canon aromantic character'' and it's someone who's asexual. #shut up shut up!!!!!!!!! learn the basic fucking differences it's a quick google search #aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #acespec #aroace #aspec

:( i wish fandom was more strict with maintaining/respecting characters who are canonically (aro)ace the same way that they are when characters are canonically gay/lesbian. the moment those latter characters are shipped with a character of another gender, it's "problematic". and yet, people still make ships for canon ace characters because "ace people can still be in relationships". while true, it happens too often i think, because people just CANT HELP but ship characters. they NEED to be coupled. if so, where does that leave non-coupled (aro)aces who want representation?

#idk. a thought.... #i do personally enjoy shipping sometimes #but im also upset when a canon ace character i like still gets shipped #the point is that not everyone needs to be shipped!!!! #maybe theyre happy staying single!! maybe theyre happy w their friends and family already!!! #Mhizzy's Words #Aromantic #Asexual #aro is in brackets cos i specifically see this for ace charas often. but it still applies
