Question: is it okay to have Gwen still kiss but not do anything else, since she’s still indicated she’s okay with kissing and just that? Not even romantically, just for the love of the game (said in Walton Goggins’ ghoul voice for the narrative).

yeah of course, the thing about aro + ace identities and sexuality in general is that it is different for everyone. A big saying in a-spec communities is that attraction does not equal action, which goes both ways. Though a big motivator to kiss someone is being attracted to them, that doesn’t mean that people cant kiss and want to kiss someone they aren’t attracted too, if you get what im saying

This is my video essay series on movies with asexual and/or aromantic characters.

My channel also has other stuff relating to aspecness, like qpr and ace group representation, what is it like to be aro and ace specifically in Finland and aspec ring journeys.

Aspec Video Essay Masterpost

This is a resource masterpost intending to compile together the video essays pertaining to asexuality and aromanticism and affiliated topics online! I'm only going to be including videos that are 15+ minutes long (to qualify as a 'video essay') - of course if anyone has suggestions please feel free to contribute! This is a community project!

Compulsory Sexuality, Comphet & Asexual Alienation by Evie Lupine - slightly less of a video essay and more chatty but she does talk about academic articles on compulsory sexuality. She also did a podcast episode with @theacecouple (here: Asexuality and Kink ft. Evie Lupine) which was very interesting!

Amatonormativity by Tara Mooknee - one I've recced on here before! Definitely a bit 101 and aimed at an allo audience but still worth a watch!

The hell of "sad singles" set ups & the need for found family by Bryony Claire - sent to me! I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet.

is love a social construct? by oliSUNvia - recommended to me by a friend! Again, I haven’t watched it yet but I know pertains to the wider discourse around romantic love + amatonormativity.

Are Aromantic and Asexual Representation Queer Enough? (Buddy Daddies) by VIKA - I haven't seen this series but it's an aspec reading / analysis on the main relationship in the show!

Rowan Ellis has a few here:

the chronically online state of asexual discourse - I've recced this one before on this blog and I still highly recommend it!

The Rise of Asexual Representation

They've also done an interview with Alice Oseman about aspec representation but it's more of a discussion than a video essay, so I haven't included it.

Spacey Aces (their entire channel is dedicated to discussing aspec topics so check that out if that interests you!) - most of their content is more chat/101 focused and not so much video essay-y but I've picked two which I think qualify:

A-specs vs Amatonormative Media (and the world)

Lavender Marriage | a history of purple and relationship anarchy in the queer community

David J Bradley has quite a few essays, here:

Alone. Not Alive. | A Queer Reading Of Company

Sherlock Holmes: Asexual Icon

That One Time House Cured Asexuality

Maybe You Haven't Met The Right Person Yet | An Asexual Video Essay

Asexuals and Sex - more of an explanatory 101 video but still felt like I should include it!

Meghan Sandor has some here:

Polyamory, Relationship Anarchy & Queerplatonic Partnerships: Are They Really the Same Thing?

Asexuality and Kink: Why Do So Many Aces Love It?

Love Unlimited Gwenpool #47 (2023)

She actually isn't a fan of kissing-kissing.

While the overall point is true, when it comes to Gwen it would be better to not have her kiss people.

Question: is it okay to have Gwen still kiss but not do anything else, since she’s still indicated she’s okay with kissing and just that? Not even romantically, just for the love of the game (said in Walton Goggins’ ghoul voice for the narrative).

yeah of course, the thing about aro + ace identities and sexuality in general is that it is different for everyone.

Please expect fantasy and fairy tale motifs, trans and multisexual characters, a dash of autism, a great deal of amatonormativity, and a pervasive struggle for recognition by family, society and community.

2024 Tournament Winner Flag Wars: Round 1, Bracket 4

[arojenniferwalters]

I can hardly believe it but the amazing Leehama is publishing a webtoon about two aroace protagonists, so like. Go read it !!!

I loved her webtoon Gourmet Hound and it didn’t even have aspec rep (it did have a lot of diversity though, and there was a very very minor aroace too), this is going to be amazing.

You can find it on Webtoon Canvas!
