Alright..... I'll bite. What are your reasons behind y!marik/marik being aroace? :)c As an aspec person who loves Marik, I have to know.

SLAMS HANDS DOWN ON THE TABLE Okay, I'm excited to share this (note that I view yami malik to be aroace while I view malik to be gay. okay anyways)

A lot of it to me is just a matter of how Amir's psychological development works, as his brain is essentially just a garbage disposal for any of Malik's repressed thoughts or feelings; assuming that Malik hadn't repressed any romantic desires (either before or during battle city), it could be assumed that Amir either wouldn't have any ability to experience romantic attraction (depending on how someone imagines his psychological development to function after some kind of 'sever' with Malik's psyche, what with him being sent to super hell and all; that's also something I write and think about a lot) or no interest in it. He definitely experiences sexual pleasure to some degree, (considering how he was behaving in some of his duels, most notably before his duel with Yami Yugi) but I don't think it really has anything to do with the individual he's interacting with. I have thoughts in my brain about him!

Any ship that I imagine him in, I more or less see as Two (or more) Freaks Doing Fun Freaky Shit Together, as opposed to an established romantic 'dating' kind of relationship, if that makes sense. I've written more in-depth and cohesively about this in a yugioh analysis doc that I have, but this is the general gist of it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spread my Amir Aroace Propaganda (thank you @cr-ingefail for enlightening me to the concept)
