"It's not fair. I would do anything. Why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"

Heartbreak High have done it again. Ca$h Piggott is the most beautiful asexual representation. I have never related to anything more. He is trying so hard, but he's staying true to who he is.

And that is so important to see.

Why isn't everyone talking about Pavarti from the game "The Outer Worlds"?

Like she literally a canonically sapphic asexual female character that you as the player character can bond with over being asexual. How is Tumblr not losing it's mind 24/7 over that?

She is literally the first companion you meet too! You literally get a mission to wingman her into dating the captain of the biggest non-corperate trade hub in the system!

I mean, sure the game is old, but I'm having a blast!

(please don't spoil anything for me beyond the point where Pavarti starts dating that captain and the unreliable takes flight, I've only just started playing the game really)

How I think the Archives Gang met eachother [+ their sexualities imo because]

Jon - he falls on the demi-romantic spectrum somewhere. I feel it in my *bones*. [And ofc Asexual. That being canon is *SO SO* important to me.]

•Him and Tim meet during their Research Days. They started around the same time. Tim was the first one in their department who listened when Jon spoke, and Jon was the first one who took Tim seriously. They weren't *close*, but they were friends. They were eachothers support in this new environment, and when Jon got promoted to Head Archivist, he was adamant about bringing Tim with him.

•He met Sasha through Tim. Tim met Sasha one day when he had to go to Archive Storage to follow up with something, and then he promptly dragged Jon there with him the *second* they had a break because he insisted they had to meet. They got along great, bonding over a mutual love of academia and disbelief of the supernatural nature of most of the Institute.

•Jon doesn't officially meet Martin until he's assigned to his Archive team. But his reputation proceeds him, and leads to Jon being hesitant and extremely stanfoffish. It leads to him being rude, until Jane Prentiss attacks him and he realizes that he's just as scared as him. And now he can *do* something, he can help. They further bond while Martin is staying in the archive.

Tim - bisexuality takes human form. And this man *FUCKS*

•Tim and Jon go back to their Research Days. Tim latched to Jon, maybe more than he'd ever admit. It was nice to have *someone* firmly in his corner.

•Tim met Sasha and it was an immediate spark. He knew she was important, he knew he wanted her in his life. [And naturally he *had* to introduce her to his #1 Guy. And when they hit it off he was So Excited]

•Tim knew *of* Martin before they all got reassigned to the Archives team. They'd interacted in passing, water-cooler talk type vibe. Once they were working together he decided Martin was cool. Jon's distaste for him led to slight disinterest, but he realized quickly it was more than likely the stress of the new position so he decided to befriend Martin

Sasha - She's both panromantic *and* aromantic and I can't explain it. The woman exists in multitudes

•She met Tim when he stumbled into her workspace while trying to find an item to fact check something, and instead ended up talking with Sasha while she worked because she made an offhand comment about being a bit spooked working up there alone

•when Tim showed back up with Jon in tow, Sasha knew she was doomed[/pos]. And then Jon was so much like her, but also so unlike her. He fascinated her, she had to know more.

•Sasha met Martin before Jon or Tim did, but also not long before the Archives team was assigned. She met him when he got lost in the shelves of artifact storage, and she found him while organizing when she *literally* ran into him. He got flustered and ran off so she didn't think much of him until they were assigned to a team together.

Martin - Panromantic demisexual. I'm right. Anyway.

•He meets Sasha when she runs into him, dropping the Box of Things she was moving around. He apologized *profusely* and then ran off. They meet again more formally when hes assigned to the archives team, and she's incredibly kind but her academic viewpoint intimidates him

•Tim is someone Martin has Heard Of before. And he's chatted with him in passing/in a larger group before, but nothing formally one on one until the team assignment. He thinks Tim is SO Cool. But he's got that scary ass cat hovering behind him

•Jon TERRIFIES him at first. He's his new boss, and before they've even met,he's decided he's not qualified [which, he's right but he doesn't know that so why is he being mean??] The concern he shows when he hears Martin's statement though? It gives Martin a glint of hope

If there's implications of polyarchives here, maybe so but mind your business.

I think Jon and Tim definitely met eachother first, because they were in the same department. Then it's only natural Tim would find another highly intelligent academic skeptic in artifact storage and what's he gonna do? Not introduce the only other person he considers a friend to her? Of course he's going to introduce them, even if he has to drag Jon by his arms [which he damn near does]. I stand firmly in the court of 'Jon, Tim and Sasha were all much closer Pre-Archives and that was intimidating to Martin because they work so well together'. They're like a well oiled machine. Jon and Tim know eachothers work habits down to a T after working caddy-corner from eachother and and doing so much feild work. Sasha is so fast as finding necessary information and she's still got most of Artifact Storage memorized so she finds stuff up there almost before she's asked. The three of them can almost communicate without speaking, just a few pointed looks or hand gestures and they understand. Sometimes Tim or Sasha will walk in and Jon's hand is up/out for the folder without even lifting his gaze from his own work.

But still, calling them close isn't right. They don't know eachothers personal lives. Sasha only knows where Tim and Jon live from her spying but she's never been to their flats. They've never gotten into the nitty-gritty of their personal reasons for being at the Institute. But they're fine with that. They don't need that to work well together and to trust eachother, so they don't see it as necessary.

Martin probably makes a joke about how close they all are once to Tim and Sasha and is met with blank stares from both. Which does nothing to help him in figuring out what is up with his new coworkers. At least Tim and Sasha are nice to him, that's more than he can say for Jon. Sasha insists it's the stress of the new job and the organization of the archives. Tim tells him to just give Jon time, he'll come around. But no matter what Martin does, it seems to be wrong for Jon. He doesn't know what to do. Other than keep pushing forward and do his job best he can.

And then Jane Prentiss happens. And Martin is trapped in his flat for so long. Alone. And he doesn't know what to do. And he finally gets out and gets back to the Institute, back to the Archives and no one seems relieved to see him at first. Everyone thinks he was out sick? And so he goes to Jon. He gives his statement. And Jon looks genuinely worried, the first expression Martin has earned from him that wasn't a scowl. And he offers the spare room in the Archives since Martin can't go home. And Martin thinks, 'yeah, this is progress'.

It doesn't take long to fall back into the old song and dance though. Jon's all the more stressed with the worms and the statements. And it seems like Martin can't stop messing up.

And then Sasha meets Michael. And Jon's on even higher alert. He's snapping more. Mostly at Martin. Because Martin is the only piece he isn't accustomed to. A new gear Elias rammed into his perfect machine for reasons he can't begin to understand. And it's not entirely fair to Martin but, it's what Jon can control.

This is so important actually. Too often characters (and people) are reduced to their sexual orientation, but like... no? We're so much more than that.

I can't stop thinking about the friendship between Quinni and Cash in Heartbreak High. I really hope we get more scenes between them in future seasons.

I can't stop thinking about Cash's face when Quinni is having her meltdown because he knows he can relate on some level. He's listening to her every word, and he is feeling so deeply for her.

His face when she says she doesn't want to be a burden made me sob. He looks so sad.

Quinni's words must have held some resonance with Cash, and I can't stop thinking about it.

Because he doesn't want to be a burden either, and he is trying so hard in his relationship with Darren and it still isn't enough.

Quinni says: "And then I find this thing, this one thing that I can control, that I can share with you all and participate in, one thing that I'm useful for, and I'm told I'm doing that wrong too. It's just not fair."

Cash knows how that feels. He's doing absolutely everything in his relationship with Darren, but he still feels like it's not enough. He's really letting her words sink in.

Quinni needs someone that can understand what she's feeling, and Cash can (in a different way).

I love that we saw Cash pick up on how upset Quinni was at the zoo. She needs someone that notices her, and Cash did.

Anyway, I love the scenes with Quinni and Cash together. And I hope we get more of their friendship in future. Because I think they understand each other on a very personal level. But maybe that's just my autistic, asexual self hoping they can find some solace in each other.

I resonate with Cash just as much as I resonate with Quinni, and I'm not saying that Cash is also possibly autistic but it's possible with his stimming, his mental health history, his deep empathy for living things and his struggles communicating how he feels. I'm running with this headcanon.

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Tir Tanagiri duology by Jo Walton

Well technically there is a third book, but that one isn’t about Sulien, so I’m ignoring it.

(My Pride bat plushie with the two books. The First one, The King’s Peace as Kindle edition, because I couldn’t get a paperback yet, and the second, The King’s Name, as paperback, because I could.)

The two books in the Tir Tanagiri series are a retelling of the King Arthur mythos, set in the “historically correct” time just after the fall of the Roman Empire, when Britain is divided into many warring clans, and Saxon invaders threaten them from the outside. It is, however, set in an alternate universe, that mostly consists of the names being different (Rome becomes Vinca, the Saxons Jarns, Arthur Urdo, etc), and magic being real. The main character is the King’s right-hand person, Sulien Ap Gwien, who most resembles our Sir Lancelot, and the two books are a first-person narration of her memoirs. They start when she was seventeen and first joined the new King Urdo and last over the unification of the land, the peaceful years, and finally, the civil war that caused Urdo’s death.

Sulien is an amazing character. She is amazing as a woman, who is a very complex person and naturally and unquestioned the best in what is in our world a very male dominated field She is amazing as a queer character, as she is very visibly asexual (though the term isn’t used). And she is amazing as a Lancelot figure. By setting the story in a different universe, Walton managed to free it up from at least some of the constraints of the traditional King Arthur retellings, allowing us a certain level of surprise and her to have a much gentler ending than Lancelot normally gets. All of this while also keeping all the major beats of the mythos.

Which leads me to The Warning: Keeping the beats of Lancelot’s storyline means that Sulien is raped and has an unwanted child. It is, quite literally, the first thing that happens in the book, and influences the way the story goes until its very end. Personally, I feel that it has been handled well. Sulien’s relationship with her son is messy, as she just leaves him in a convent and goes back to the army the moment she can. The man who raped her also gets to be a fully fleshed out character, and their relationship too is very complicated. Sulien gets to move past the initial trauma, and even has him as an ally. All of this having been said, it is a complicated subject, and others will feel differently about it.

Actually the books deal with a lot of complicated subjects. I feel like they do it well. You might actually argue that Jo Walton did a too good job, in that the first book is a very good structural replication of the medieval romances - meaning you get a lot of people riding around in different directions and doing things, then riding in a different direction, and you don’t see a clear progression of the story. As a consequence, it is a bit difficult to read. The second part is better in this regard.

There is also a third book, which focusses on the relationship of two major side characters. The books are out of print, but you can still get them as an ebook, or second hand. Here is the link to the series on Amazon.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
