I have tried to find a way to word this that isn't accusatory because that is not my goal here, but after writing and rewriting this a dozen or more times I've given up. I'm just upset about it all but I don't intend this to be taking it out on you specifically. I am truly sending it in good faith!

It's been incredibly difficult to be an ace fan with ace headcanons lately because of constant "Let. Them. Fcuk!" shouts from all corners, as though A/C must have sex on screen for their relationship to count. There are many posts insisting all headcanons are valid followed immediately by more posts insisting they have to be sexual creatures because of this or that reason and any thought to the contrary is just wrong. My "favorites" are the ones arguing that because they love human things so much then of course they must want to have sex because all humans want to have sex!

Needless to say as a human who has never once in my life wanted to have sex I find that incredibly othering. It's not the only argument that's been verging hard into acephobic and exclusionary rhetoric lately either.

Ace people can and do have sex. Ace people can also be sex repulsed or just uninterested. Aziraphale and Crowley could easily be any of those things just as easily as they could be sexual beings. What we see in the show and the book are two beings who canonically have demonstrated nothing about their thoughts on sex and sexuality. There are things some take as hints at a sexual nature but those same things can be read as something entirely nonsexual. As Neil said, sometimes an oxrib is just an oxrib. Canonically and textually all that scene shows is the birth of Aziraphale's hedonistic (in the philosophical sense of the term) desires. And yet, as hedonistic as that scene is, it is still not inherently sexual. It's one possible valid reading of the subtext to be sure but also not the only possible valid reading. You can take that scene to mean Aziraphale's gonna screw Crowley's brains out the second they avert Apocalypse 2.0 or you can take it to mean he's gonna drag him on a whirlwind tour of the dessert trays of every good restaurant in town instead. Both are valid interpretations of what Aziraphale going to town on that rib could be representing and neither is more correct. Both readings fit under the hedonism umbrella but true hedonism does not and has never mandated sexual activity. Aziraphale is a fine example of an ethical hedonist and yet his canonical hedonism is not concrete proof that he must want to have sex, as I have seen argued. Hedonism can include sex but it can also be entirely focused on food and drink or art and music or philosophy. Yes, you can be asexual and a hedonist, they are not contradictions in terms.

As a final note I just want to add my own stance on it. I personally think they may be idly curious about sex, perhaps enough to indulge now and then, but it's not something either feels they need in their relationship to feel valid and loved. I also feel I must say that I don't agree with the faction that says they'd be too pure as non-humans to even consider sex as an option. I find that just as othering, in a different way, as saying they must want sex because all humans do.

And so finally I come to my question at the end of all the rambling. If every headcanon is valid as canon does not show their thoughts on sex one way or the other, then why is it fine to see them as sexual and insist it has to be in the show and yet worthy of mocking to see them as ace and to not want a sex scene?

Good faith recognized and accepted, so no worries on that front.

I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to send the message in the first place, it's one of the reasons I always have anon asks on. I don't mind playing middle man (gn) for fandom discussions.

Edit: I just realised I might not have made it clear enough, but I'm alloaro myself, so same hat and all.

If every headcanon is valid as canon does not show their thoughts on sex one way or the other, then why is it fine to see them as sexual and insist it has to be in the show and yet worthy of mocking to see them as ace and to not want a sex scene?

The short answer is that it is not fine to mock or attack people for their headcanons, and I really wish I could tell you that it's simply a matter of kindness or working through some aphobia, but it's so, SO much more complicated than that.

I will try my best to explain my interpretation of why the above happens, but if I lose anyone at any point, don't hesitate to ask questions! Hopefully my red string will hold though.

The problem you describe is not specific to this fandom, it will pop up in literally every single one at some point or other, and in some corners it turn into queerphobia on all sides just being thrown around.

With Good Omens in particular, the canon Neil gives us is incredibly pliable, everything and nothing can apply, and you are not restricted by gendered subtext or implications. It's great! It really is! BUT it also means that people start projecting heavily on a character, headcanoning their specific labels for them, etc. which by itself isn't a problem.

It becomes one when a headcanon that does not align with theirs suddenly feels like a personal attack—as if headcanoning that character as something you aren't is invalidating your identity through that character. I hope that makes sense, simple version is people project a lot, and it gets very messy very fast.

Queer sexuality has a long and complicated history, and I really recommend to everyone to read up on i at least a little. In the media, you usually get one of two depictions of it: predatory or pornographic. Both suck, both are bad representation, both further already existing stereotypes.

However, that means any depictions of queer people that are not one of the above tend to be non-sexual to a point where the intention behind certain choices is very clear. Queer sexuality is bad and dirty, it should be hidden away, and is only allowed to exist if it can be consumed by cishet people or used for their amusement.

So where does that leave us with Good Omens?

Many people are desperate for good representation, myself included, and with the way Neil is writing the show, everything is possible, and some things even likely. He said himself that one of the reasons for the kiss was the destruction of deniability of their relationship.

We need to have queer sexuality on our screens because otherwise it will always be seen as other, and queer relationships will be denied on the basis of a 'lack of intimacy'. It sucks, it is completely inaccurate, and unfair, but that is where we are.

If we take this information and tie it back to the projection issues I talked about in the beginning, I think it's possible to understand the point I'm trying to make.

Suddenly it is no longer the character's sexuality that is not shown but their own, and that opens Pandora's box for all kinds of difficult emotions.

Everything above also applies to aspec people, just that most of us are usually looking for a lack of something rather than a presence, which is not better or worse than wanting queer sexuality explicitly shown. People end up butting heads—and it gets incredibly personal way too quickly—because you have group A, who want to see a sex scene because of above reasons, and then you have group B, who would prefer for that not to happen.

While that's a perfectly fine headcanon to have (and it SHOULD be respect, every hc should be), some people from A will see a post about them never having sex and interpret it (mostly subconsciously, I presume) as an attempt to repress queer sexuality from being shown.

The 'solution' (easier said than done) to the problem is learning when to step back and how to recognize when one is getting too caught up in their character(s)—or simply how to not be an asshole and scroll past something. Tumblr has great blacklist and blocking features, use them, people.

Bottom line, harassing people for their headcanons or other fandom ideas is rude, inappropriate, and makes you an asshole that needs to log off and go on a fucking walk.

It’s kind of messed up that Adrien fell in love with Marinette when she thought he was a statue and treated him like an object because:

At the time Adrien was working as a model, selling his body, and being treated like an object by his father and fans (and it gets worse when he’s turned into a literal object for Alliance).

I’ve said it before, but Adrien is narratively a girl. There is a VERY distinct femininity to his character. They literally put him in a dress and call him a princess. Having your girl coded character fall in love with someone because they treated him like an object has unfortunate implications.

Adrien is a Sentimonster, which have historically been treated as objects. (Looking at you, Gabe). Sentimonsters can be created and destroyed at the whim of their creator. Whoever has their amoks can control them like puppets. (Still looking at you, Gabe). Having a person who is canonically a member of a magical slave race falling in love with someone when they treated him like an object has unfortunate implications.

And to backpack on the previous points, Adrien is an abuse victim. His father isolated him, controlled every aspect of his life, emotionally and mentally abused him, and treated him as a life sized dressup doll. You know, like an object? More unfortunate implications.

And it didn’t have to be like this! They could have had Adrien realize he fell in love with Marinette during literally any other time. (I would have chosen Umbrella scene 2.0). Heck, the statue scene can even stay canon, if they continued to acknowledge that it was a cringey cringefest and moved on.

But no. Magical slave race girl coded abuse victim who has been treated like an object by his father and most of the people in his life falls in love when he’s being treated like an object. The writers really thought this one through.

So is that salter just ignoring the fact the only reason Marinette became interested in Adrien in the first place was due to the umbrella scene????

Yeah exactly like.

Marinette hated Adrien at first due to thinking he was just Chloé 2.0.

Then Adrien apologized and opened up to her a bit, and she fell for him when she saw that he's actually quite sweet.

For the headcanon prompt, could you do Satan for 14 & 21?

Of course ^-^

The link to the headcanon prompt

14-Guilty pleasure headcanons

Reading until late into the night. He is perfectly aware that he shouldn't spend all night reading when he has classes to take the next day but he physically can't fall asleep if he doesn't know how the book ends.

Going on long tangents about his favourite books. He literally transforms into Levi 2.0 when he finds a book or a TV show that he likes. He only feels a little guilty after he realizes he kept someone on the phone for 3 hours so he can keep talking

Buying too many books at once. He can't help it since so many good books keep appearing every day. He buys more than even he can read but can't stand the thought of letting a good book go. He tells himself that since he is a demon he has enough time to read them

Hoard things. Especially books but he also keeps magic, detective and cat related stuff. His room is more like a library than a bedroom. The others gave to intervene every other 20 yearss and make him donate some of this stuff.

21-Pda headcanons

For the most part is pretty reserved about it. He will kiss MC and hold their hand but won't do anything more in public.

There will be exception, he isn't strict on these rules. If he is jealous or just missed MC he will be way more affectionate in public.

He lives for taking walks while holding hands with MC. Especially when it's raining so MC has to hold onto his arm because he has to hold the umbrella in his hands. It reminds him of one of the romantic scenes in his books

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me x mc #obey me x reader #obey me headcanons #obey me satan #obey me satan headcanons #obey me satan x reader #obey me satan x mc

I need to talk about the statue scene in Puppeteer 2. It reeks of rated-G SA and Adrien went into fawning trauma mode when Marinette got upset. Like bro, she felt you up, pulled your hair, and kissed you without your consent. And Adrien is the one who apologizes for it. And that’s when Astruc decided Adrien should fall in love with Marinette. Unbelievable.

Hi!

To be fair, that's typical for the humor of this show. It's not supposed to be taken seriously. That's why I don't really consider Marinette being a stalker or anything like that an actual criticism of her character. It's just part of the exaggerated humor of the show and it's not supposed to be literal. That scene really isn't meant to be serious. Marinette really thought he was a statue, and Adrien realized the joke backfired and apologized because the situation was awkward. It wasn't really a big deal. It was played for laughs more than anything. It's completely understandable to find it distasteful, but it's not meant to be serious and doesn't really reflect on the characters imho.

That being said, your point does work when we talk about the episode overall. The episode started with Adrien calling his friends over because he was lonely, but it ended up focusing on Marinette anyway. I didn't really like that, because it's just another instance of the narrative not being able to not make it about Marinette again. And yeah, it's so strange how they made that the scene where Adrien fell in love with Marinette, and not, I don't know, the umbrella scene 2.0. It's one of the retcons that is clearly made to justify all the criticisms fans have of the show. Marinette is a stalker? It's because of trauma! The statue scene was weird? Sike, that's when Adrien actually fell in love with Marinette! Even though the episode where it happened showed them both being super weirded out and ended with Adrien talking about his love for another girl with no hint whatsoever that he began to view Marinette in a different light since then. But yeah, that's when he started to like her. Suuuuure.

Thank you for your ask!

My thoughts on season 3 of The Umbrella Academy and just like the show it's messy. Probs not in order.

Warning: spoiler, violence, sexual assault, bad words

16 woman, what happened to 43.

Why are they dancing? Oh my God, they are dancing! Oh wait it's just Diego hallucinating, isn't it?

I was right.

Hey, look Delores.

Thank the writers that they didn't keep emo Ben.

Fei is hot.

Alphonso sounds and looks like Mark Ruffalo.

Jayme is hot.

Luther you simp.

Viktor's transitions is so beautiful, I am crying.

"Do you feel loved" oh my heart

Poor Allison, wait did you just sexually assault Luther. I don't like you right now.

I love Fei's outfits.

Sloanne is cute, I like this relationship.

How is Luther now likable and Allison so awful.

Why is Diego's son white? Are you sure that's his son or casting did a bad job.

I was right not at all his son.

Klaus being Amish makes total sense.

Oh, so the problem is that they don't exist. I bet Viktor and Harlan had to do something about it.

I was right.

Viktor-3, world-0

Lila's interactions with the other character is so sweet.

Allison is sad that her daughter is dead. Tries to feel better by killing Viktor's stepson. Yeah, this villain arc is not forgivable.

Lila and Diego are so cute together.

Wait, Klaus is immortal, makes sense. I thought he just had really good plot armor.

I kinda love the weird father-son montage between Reggie and Klaus.

Drugged Reggie is kinda adorable.

Oh shit Diego's fingers.

Here is a bunch of thoughts on the wedding episode:

Aw Viktor is the Best man.

I love the bachelor party, poor thing that Ben 2.0 wasn't invited.

Hey 10 people left and 80% of them have the same birthday.

Aw the wedding was so cute.

Stop excluding Ben 2.0, I get he is a dick but like it is the end of the world.

OMG everyone is drunk drunk this is funny.

I love the scene where they are just admiring the blackhole consuming the universe.

If you look closely you can Klaus wrapping his arm around Ben 2.0's arm and then just leaning which was cute.

Five drunk is funny. I think he forgets he is small and can't drink as much.

I just realized they haven't put Five and Viktor next to each other that much to not show that Five is getting taller.

Wait, did Klaus and Ben 2.0 have sex. I mean that is really awkward. I don't think Klaus remembers too well but I bet Ben does. I don't know how to feel about the ship. The thing is Ben 2.0 grew up without Klaus and has no attachment. I mean seeing that there is another Ben at the end makes me think they are going to establish dead Ben is alive and make them 2 very different people. Still, they have the same face and genetics. To be honest, I am really just looking forward to the chaos of that situation unfolding.

What the fuck was the ending? I am so confused.

I bet season 4 they are going to try to cause an apocalypse for the new Hargreeve world because of Five's arm coming back.

It actually makes sense that Five is the founder because his powers seem to be the basis of the science of time travel and that was too much of a coincidence.

I think Hotel Obsidian is Paradox resistant, causing it to be the last thing standing.
