As an asexual Good Omens fan

There's something I've noticed in this fandom that makes me really uncomfortable, and that is the way that Crowley and Aziraphale's possible asexuality is constantly being connected to and justified by them being not human.

I just honestly really hate that, because implying that asexuality is something that somehow "logically" follows from characters being nonhuman is ... not great. Like, I hate having to be the one to point this out, but asexuality is, in fact, very much a human attribute.

And unfortunately, most of the time when I come across this take, it doesn't feel like someone seeing themselves in the characters and relating to their experience, but rather an othering, this kind of otherwordly pure non-sexualness, where people put these characters above such trivial things like sexuality.

I am not asexual because I am somehow confounded by this oh so complicated human concept of sexuality, or because I don't ever think or care about sexuality at all (a lot of thinking was unfortunately involved actually before I finally came to a conclusion about my identity) it is just a fact of who I am, as a human being, it’s a part of my human experience.

And let's be honest, attributing asexuality to nonhuman characters is not the hot new take a lot of people seem to think it is — this trope has been around for ages. And it hasn't done a great deal to normalize asexuality. In fact I'd argue it's perpetuated an othering of ace people, but you take what you can get, really. (This is not to say that it is in any way wrong to identify with these kinds of characters, I definitely do, too! It's just sad that the topic of discussion is always about how "human" someone can be considered when they don't feel sexual or romantic attraction)

To be honest, I don't actually see A&C being asexual as canon — as a lot of people seemingly do — just because the author kind of suggested it in a tweet where he basically conflates "asexual" and "sexless" (for the record, this is not a dig at Neil, I just think the implications were kind of unfortunate, even if it might not have been intentional, which makes it all the more frustrating that a lot of fans just ran with it). And yeah, going around calling people aphobic for seeing the Ineffable Husbands as gay rep or any other identity, when they’re oh so obviously canonically ace, is honestly kind of insane.

I get that it might feel nice and tempting to be able to "claim" these characters and this relationship and being able to tell other fans off whose headcanons on their sexuality differ from your own because it is hard to come by any kind of representation when you're ace and there's finally a creator who's not only not contemptuous towards but even supportive of fans reading his characters as queer. And if you feel represented by A&C as it is then all the more power to you. But the thing is, it doesn't matter what kind of justifications there are or what canon might or might not say (bc when has that ever mattered in fandom spaces) or what the creator says, you cannot convert people to your opinion about a character, and you're going to have a bad time if you spend your time in fandom trying to do that.

And really, I am just wondering why we necessarily even need an explanation or justification for them possibly being asexual. Why does it have to be that all angels and demons are asexual by virtue of being nonhuman, and so A&C have to be too? why can't that just be an aspect of them that is completely unrelated to them not being human? Could these characters maybe not simply identify as asexual, not because they're nonhuman, but in spite of it? (btw, in the same vein it is equally stupid to argue that A&C can't be ace because they have "gone native", which is also an argument I've come across)

Honestly, I'm not even asking anyone to fundamentally change how they see these characters here — if you think they must be asexual solely because they're angels and have no concept of human sexuality, then whatever, I can't stop you and I don’t want to police anyone's headcanons bc as I said that's stupid and a waste of time. What I am asking you is that you maybe reflect a little bit on why exactly it is that humanity and sexuality are somehow so intrinsically linked in your mind to the point where you automatically use it as a way to distinguish between human and nonhuman characters.

Anyways.

Tldr: please stop equating asexuality with non-humanness thank you and good day.

High thought: does anyone wonder if non-human animals experience emotions we've never felt or considered as a human race? Like do jellyfish still experience emotions through their limited nervous system but they're exclusively jellyfish emotions that we could never comprehend?

Why do queer people seem so much more in love than straight people?

Like in general. I know that you can give examples of straight people being really in love, but in general queer people just seem happier together. They seem more free, if you know what I mean.

I want to know why.

American Christians are so funny sometimes they’ll be like ‘oh no what if they take away our right to worship sky daddy because we are always the victims’

and then they teach a Sunday school clsss to middle schoolers that’s like ‘if you kill gay people that’s okay because god hates them personally’

i was meant to be a poet traveling the lands, humming a tune to the birds that sang out their lives and lies back, feathers whispering their hollowed whispers along the forest floor. but i was born a few centuries too late.

i was meant to be a storyteller, weaving carefully constructed lies about reality in a way that caused others to reach to the stars, ever wanting to drink from the solace of loneliness. but i was born a few centuries too late.

i was meant to paint pictures of the mellowed sky, both with words and colors. they would cause people to hum and appreciate the world they lived in, stepping away with a new sense of self. but i was born a few centuries too late.

i was meant to cast my shallow voice into the sea, fishing up sirens that took pity on my floundering tunes, and nourished my dreams in exchange for luring the unaware to their cove. but i was born a few centuries too late.

i was meant to live life without needing to worry if i’ll be attacked for simply being different. without having people hound me for “not finding the right person” and “being broken”. it seems i might’ve been born several centuries too early, or perhaps too late.

in a world where the most meaningful words are the ones that flash upon a screen, blaring what’s right and wrong and how nothing can be questioned, because wouldn’t that make you wrong?, i was meant to be a poet.

i was meant to fear the crawling beasts and screeching cries. to duck for cover with a family of hands that didn’t match mine in any way, to meet eye to eye with people i could call my own. but i was born centuries late.

i wasn’t meant to find comfort in the terrors. i wasn’t meant to grasp at the blades of darkness that cut into my ancestors. i wasn’t meant to flee humanity, my own people, my own kin. but i was born far too late.

i wasn’t meant to be hunted, i was meant to sing praises of those who survived the hunt, i was meant to cry sorrows for those who didn’t, and i was meant to sound an alarm to those who wielded those claws of darkness for their own malicious acts.

but i was born far, far too late.
