I strongly believe it's acephobic to bend ace characters into being allo, whether its a headcanon or fanfic. Whatever the case is, it's still erasure. People seem to be more willing to slide past it bc they don't treat asexuality seriously.

i will always dislike the stereotype that cisgender men are just beings who only think / care about sex, so my cis men out there who are asexual or just genuinely don't think sex is that important, you are seen and will always be valid :D /gen

Itâs crazy how many people just donât understand why a lot of aro and or ace people donât like that Alaster gets shipped. Itâs not that hard to understand we donât have a lot to let ourselves lose. I mean can you name 10 asexual characters? 5? Can you name two aro characters. Thereâs the guy from Archie who they made have a sex scene in a movie version. Thereâs a few books. I think a background character in Heartstopper? Do you see the theme here??? Youâre all queer people, do you not get it? How it feels to have nothing? Is it so wrong to be upset that thereâs finally an outwardly aroace person in popular media and instead of people embracing that theyâre fighting on the internet about why itâs ok to ignore it? And I will never in my fucking life have anything against the people who are aro and or ace and portray him in THEIR experiences, even if it is a romance or sex favorable experience, but it is obvious that way too many of you guys are allo and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I donât even like him as a character that much, he isnât even made by an aroace artist. The show isnât even that fucking good, I just want to keep someone like me for once in my life. If there were a million other aroace characters I wouldnât care, but it just hurts seeing erasure coming from my own community. It just sucks, man, I donât know. It just sucks

Every ace person NEEDS this freaking book
It has a dozen fiction stories with ace characters all over the spectrum and in so many genres. Im talking ghost stories, supernatural, drama, sci-fi, you name it. I've literally cried three times while reading it I feel so seen
This is the representation ace people need. In every category. We need full length novels dedicated to the ace experience because this would've SAVED me as a kid.
If you're on the aspec, this books is for you.

I appreciate a lot of parts of The Outer Worlds but one thing I really fucking love is Parvati
Talking to you about being asexual but yes she still wants a girlfriend. No sex isn't on her mind, that doesn't make her a child or emotionless even though people have told her it makes her "cold." She has plenty of love to give and that doesn't really connect to sex for her and I just. Thank you outer worlds I love you đ„șđ„ș

Desexualized & Asexual are 2 different things
Recently read a take that Isaac in Heartstopper is bad fat rep because "the only fat character was made asexual which is a negative stereotype" & I am BEGGING folks to understand that desexualized & asexual are 2 different things. Plus fat Aces exist & fatness is often used to invalidate asexuality.
We thought that Isaac was just OK for ace rep. We talked about our feelings at length on episode 32 & episode 98 of our podcast. All in all, we just didn't think that his character was anything new or groundbreaking, but with how often aces in real life hear "you're not asexual, you're just fat", it's such a shame that folks out there don't understand that fat aces have their own unique challenges and also deserve rep.
It feels like shockingly similar to when people get mad at Disabled Aces because "disabled people don't have sex" is a negative stereotype. Yes, disabled people are often DESEXUALIZED against their will, which is harmful, but that doesn't mean that some of them aren't ASEXUAL.
Aces come in every flavor, because we're real people. And real people deserve to see aspects of their experience reflected in media without someone else implying that their very existence is inherently harmful.

Shrike pt 1
[Hazbin Hotel reader insert as Alastorâs âdarling life and death partnerâ I did my best for an ace x ace relationship, based on personal experience. Both parties are moderately sex favorable since writing from my own experience is easiest, so Iâm not sure if this counts as QPR. Written mostly in spite over all the Alastor smut. And overly innocent reader inserts. I donât mind some smut but câmon people.]
[Part 1/2 Word count 5506/12026]
[cw: blood, violence, mild gore, attempted sexual assault, fluff]
Behind every great man is a great woman? Well, behind every sophisticated murderer is an equally charming murderess. Maybe not as accurate a statement but thatâs how you and your partner were. You met Alastor during prohibition. You werenât the headline performer at the speakeasy he liked to frequent. You were attractive but other girls there were more stunning.
What caught his attention was the passion in your voice. You were deep and sultry as New Orleanâs summer nights. Your notes slipped into his core as inevitable as the Big Easyâs flow. Combined with your poise and aura of untouchability, he felt drawn to you. The lean radio host had never felt a pull like this to anyone.
But he noticed other men drawn to you. But they had no appreciation for you, just your flesh and the pleasure they might take from you. So he took to following you home. At a discreet distance; he hadnât yet introduced himself. At least a dozen times he intercepted ruffians that moved to harm you. They werenât nearly as cautious and thorough as him.
One night Alastor had just prevented another uncouth man from approaching you and was wiping off his hands when he heard your voice. Not how he normally did, trained and melodic. No this was harsh, panicked. Fuck! Another one?! There really was no end to the lowlifes.
You had screeched at your assailant, âGet your hands OFF ME!â You were shrill enough to make him wince, but only for a second. He was stronger and just gave you a dark grin with more teeth missing than not. âLetâs have some fun babycakes.â He started dragging you to an alley.
You managed to stomp on his foot with your heel. âAugh, you bitch!â He shoved you up against the brick wall. âYouâre gonna pay for that,â he growled.
âI believe the lady has made her opinion clear,â came another voice in the foggy night. âLet her go.â The voice was vaguely familiar, something you heard regularlyâŠ
It distracted your assailant long enough that you could reach for your hat. It was a tad out of style but had itâs advantages. Namely, needing a nearly foot long hat pin to keep it in place. You pulled the pin out while he looked out at the other man.
âFuck off before I kill yo-â his words were cut off by the sharpened steel pin suddenly piercing his eye. You jammed it into his eye socket with all your strength. Maybe you could have hit what little brains he had but the other man ran up to slit the bastardâs throat.
The man gurgled desperately before falling to the ground. He twitched, blood flowing from his neck and eye. You leaned back against the wall, chest heaving.
The tall lean man seemed oddly calm. He cleaned his knife before pulling your hat pin out of the corpseâs head. Blood fountained out from the eye socket as he cleaned the gore off your pin. He turned, presenting you the slim steel by the decorative knob.
âAre you all right cher?â You took the pin back but didnât replace it. You didnât want any leftover gore in your hair.
âAlors pas! Give me a moment cher.â You took a few deep breaths and looked up to see a (thankfully dry) red tinged hand waiting for you. You placed your shaking one into it. The owner assisted you to your feet, guiding you away from the ever growing pool of blood.
âQuite a fright youâve had my dear!â His crisp voice, with its transatlantic accent echoed as he escorted you away.
You shuddered slightly, realizing how bad things could have gotten. âAt least it was just a fright. Thanks to you misterâŠ?â You trailed off, still trying to place his voice.
âAlastor.â
Your eyes widened in sudden recognition. âAh! Youâre the radio host!â
âIâm flattered you remember me! Iâm afraid I have you at a disadvantage. You are Y/N, correct?â Dazed, you nodded. âIâve been enthralled by your performances for months now, I had to learn more about you cher.â
âWhy thank you, Iâm glad youâve been enjoying them.â Suddenly you felt dizzy and stumbled along the path. Alastor swiftly caught you.
âI believe youâre a tad unsteady after being handled so roughly. May I?â Confused, you nodded and he immediately swept you into a bridal carry. âIf youâll permit me, Iâd like to escort you home.â He paused and added, âI will need directions of course.â
The thought of a man you just met bringing you home made you flush all over. No matter how gallant he was, the radio host was a stranger. But you didnât think your legs could support you long enough. âIfâŠif you would please.â You glanced back at the alley. âWhat do we do aboutâŠâ
âHmmm,â Alastor hummed as he strolled away. He had no difficulty carrying you. âI suppose a dead man is an inconvenience but I believe getting you somewhere safe takes priority. Certainly over a lowlifeâs corpse.â
It was hard to argue with that logic. You directed him to your apartment, amazed that he was able to carry you that long and with ease. Once there, you allowed him inside. Once inside with a lamp lit, you realized what a mess both were. Your coat was splattered with blood and grime. Your dress was stained wherever the coat hadnât covered it and your hat was long gone. The hat pin in your hand was mostly clean, but you spotted some blood and gore by the finial. Your shoes werenât worth mentioning.
Seeing the result of your ordeal made the bile rise in your throat. You barely made it to the sink before vomiting. Thankfully you hadnât eaten before leaving work so it was just bile. You faintly heard clinking and water being poured. Alastor appeared with a glass of water for you. âMa cher, you look like you need a wash up. If you like, I can stay in the main room or I can make my way home. I wouldnât want you to feel unsafe.â
You found yourself asking him to stay as you cleaned up. Maybe you were being naive but he did just save you and you felt he didnât have anything untoward in mind. When you asked about him, he merely chuckled and told you not to worry.
After you were cleaned and dressed in a nightgown and housecoat (and had added a torrent of tears to the bathwater) you emerged to find Alastor reading the newspaper in a chair. Heâd made jambalaya for you both. âMy motherâs recipe! So good it nearly killed her!â he quipped. Once youâd eaten you couldnât keep your exhaustion at bay.
âYouâre welcome to spend the night Alastor. Iâd hate to send you home in the middle of the night.â The only problem was there was only one bed, yours.
âThat is much appreciated Y/N. I can make myself comfortable in the front room for one night. Iâll leave you to rest while I clean up myself.â He pressed his lips to your knuckles and murmured âBonne nuit, cher.â
Alastor left your sleeping form and made use of your washroom. He cleaned up methodically; it wasnât the first time heâd had to wash up after a kill. His jacket was ruined, but at least the rest of his clothes were in decent enough shape. At least he wouldnât scandalize anyone on the way home tomorrow.
Still, he was surprised that you had fought back as much as you had. Evidently that passion from your songs emerged elsewhere too. And the way you dispatched your attacker⊠he shivered at the beauty of it. The unexpected metal gleam in your hand, the furiously graceful arc as you swung and your perfect aim into the lowlifeâs eye.
Alastor wasnât much interested in pleasures of the flesh, he never had been and wasnât still. He wanted to see more of you like that. Not scared and in need of rescue, but the hunter he recognized in your eyes.
âIt seemed the songbird Iâve admired has talons.â
âââââ
The next morning you insisted on making breakfast; biscuits and gravy. Alastor seemed to enjoy it but he didnât leave after eating. You thought he would need to get home before heading to the radio station. When you asked he said he was staying âjust in case.â
Just before lunch there was a knock at your door. Alastor was closer so he answered it, almost like he was expecting it. Two policemen stood on the other side. âWhat can we help you with officers?â Alastor asked jovially.
âIs this the home of a Miss Y/N?â At your affirmative nod, the stockier of the two continued, âWeâd like you to come down to the station Miss. We have some questions to ask you.â
âAh, this must pertain to the dreadful ordeal my dear Y/N went through last night,â Alastor interjected. âMa cher, why donât you grab your things and Iâll accompany you.â
âAnd who might you be?â The lanky officer asked.
âAlastor, my good man. You may have tuned into my radio show!â He smiled thinly as the short one had a flicker of recognition. âI rendered some assistance to Y/N, so itâs probably best if Iâm there as well. It would save you gentlemen a trip to my home to escort me in for questions, ha ha!â
By then you had your shoes and bag ready. âDear you look lovely. Do you have your pin from last night, Iâm sure these gentlemen will want to examine it.â
âOh, thatâs an excellent point Alastor.â You placed it in your bag, making sure the cover was on the tip.
Once at the station, you found out the trail from your attackerâs body to your apartment was fairly obvious. Some blood on the bottom of Alastorâs shoes led the way. As for what happened:
âThe man accosted me on my way home. I tried to fight back, but he was ever so much stronger. It seems I was loud enough to grab Alastorâs attention. Iâm so grateful he stepped in! The beast was distracted and I was able to get ahold of my hat pin. My mother always said not to leave without one and she was right! I meant to just scratch him but Iâve never had to do such a thing before; I hit his eye instead. Before I could do anything else Alastor was between us and then the ruffian was dead.â
âIndeed! I heard Y/N order the lout to release her and I ran up to assist. I had just been dealing with another lowlife who had also been following her. To think there are so many neâer-do-wells on our streets! In any case, I dispatched the man and assisted Y/N home.â You hadnât realized there had been another man following you. You shivered at the thought.
âAnd why were you in the area Mr. Alastor? Records show that neither your home or place of employment are in that area.â
Alastorâs eye twitched but his smile never faltered. âIâd had a lovely evening at the jazz club and felt a late night stroll was in order. I wasnât even paying attention to where my feet were taking me! Perhaps it was providence guiding my way so I might save the ladyâs virtue.â
âWhy didnât you report this to the police?â
âI could barely manage to walk, I was in such a state. Alastor had to carry me home; I was in no condition to report anything, officers.â
âThe lady had been assaulted on her way home and forced to defend herself. I felt it would be unworthy of a gentleman to leave her alone in her time of need.â
After a barrage of questions and a thorough examination of your hatpin, Alastorâs knife and the minor injuries you had suffered while being manhandled, the officers let you both go. They would provide all the evidence to the district attorney. But it seemed unlikely that either of you would be charged. You had been defending yourself and Alastor had defended you.
The charming radio host escorted you back home. âWonât you be late for work at this point?â His broadcast covered a good portion of the afternoon and early evening.
âHmm, perhaps.â He patted your hand nestled into the crook of his arm. âI still feel your wellbeing is more important however, my dear.â You felt a blush warming your cheeks. âOn that subject, I believe youâre due to perform again tonight?â You nodded, he really did enjoy your performances if he knew your schedule. âI believe I will go mad with worry cher, might I escort you there and back home?â
This man was insinuating himself into your life so easily. Perhaps killing a man together had that effect. âPlease do Alastor. I donât believe I will be able to go on my own after yesterday.â You had reached your apartment while talking. âThen I shall return after I complete my broadcast. Until tonight cher.â He kissed your knuckles and saw you through the door before leaving. You turned on your radio and tuned the dial to Alastorâs station. About ten minutes after his broadcast normally began you heard the crackle of his voice.
âSalutations listeners! Thank you for your patience ladies and gentlemen, I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting the show. I am Alastor, a pleasure to be sharing this time with you all.â You sighed in relief. You would have felt terrible if helping you jeopardized Alastorâs job.
You left the radio on, letting his voice fill the apartment while you took care of minor tasks. Eventually he signed off with his normal outro âUntil next time dear listeners, thank you and goodnight!â You didnât know how long it would take for him to get from his station to your apartment but you felt it best to finish getting ready.
So you were dressed for the evening when he arrived. That was the start of a new routine for you both. Alastor walked you to work and back, enjoying the illicit beverages and your voice. Sometimes he would stay the night in your front room but he mostly dropped you off before making his way home.
He was a lovely conversationalist and those walks were much more cheerful than they had been. You felt easy around him in a way that was foreign but fulfilling. Eventually your friends and coworkers at the speakeasy asked if you two were courting.
You honestly couldnât answer. Youâd never had a beau before. According to friends over the years, you had been asked out by a lot of fellows and turned them all down. Was that why none of those men talked to you again? Apparently you hadnât realized their intentions.
One night, a couple months after the attack, you mentioned this to Alastor. âIsnât that strange, cher? They think weâre a couple!â
He stopped dead, his lips barely keeping their ever present smile as the rest of his features went blank. âIsâŠis this what courtship is?â He blinked down at the hand in the crook of his arm, the high heeled feet he had shortened his stride to keep in step with, the new gleaming hat pin heâd gifted you.
âIâŠam not really sure. Iâve never had a beau before.â You looked up at him, seeing the lips that gently kissed your knuckles every time you parted, the dark auburn hair you would stroke when he was stressed, the patterned bow tie you had given him the same day he gave you the pin. âAlthough, if this is what courting is, Iâm glad itâs with you Alastor.â
âHmmâŠâ he resumed walking, this time humming one of the songs you sang that night. Once at your place, he finally replied. âI believe I agree with you my dear. Since we are a couple it seems, Iâm glad itâs with you, Y/N.â He not only gave your hand a kiss, but leaned down to kiss your cheek as well. âI suppose you can tell your friends tomorrow they were correct. Bonne nuit, ma cher.â
Roughly a month later, Alastor was spending the night in your apartment when you felt the need to ask a question that had been lingering in the back of your mind. âAlastor, cher,â you sat next to him, pulling his attention from the book he was reading. âHadâŠhave you killed other people before that night?â
He froze, which really was all the answer you needed. âAre you still?â
For a man so glib, it took him a moment to find his silver tongue. âAnd if I am?â He choked out. âWhat will you do, Y/N?â
You studied him, making sure not to move and not to touch him. âI would ask what sort of people they are. And if they are of the same mold as the men who attacked meâŠthen Iâd also ask you to be careful, cher.â
He relaxed slightly. âUnfortunately there are a great many like-minded men in the world, although a few less in this city in the past few years.â He paused. âI canât help myself dear. I see them acting as they do and feel the need to remove them from this life.â
Gently, you placed a hand over his. âI can hardly blame you for that. Especially after you saved me.â Your other hand turned his head to look into your eyes. âYour secret is safe with me, Alastor.â
The man was usually so composed; it was kind of cute to see him so surprised. He then cupped your cheek and lightly kissed your lips. Your eyes fluttered closed as you leaned into the kiss.
It was one kiss and it didnât last long. Pulling back from each other, he licked his lips while you pressed your fingertips to yours. âThat was quite nice.â Despite singing so many songs about love, you had never been eager to try out all the steps of romance.
âIndeed it was. Shall we add that to our list of favorable courting actions?â You smiled and pulled out a paper, a fourth of the way filled with a list. You added âkisses on lipsâ to it.
Before too long, you were helping him with his activities. Initially you assisted in the clean up, but then you started taking part in the kills. Alastor admired your channeled fury and impeccable aim. You admired his precision and calculated execution. The two of you had to be sparing with your activities however. You didnât want to draw suspicion. The kills were never closer than a week from each other.
Roughly a year after you met Alastor, the subject of marriage came up. It was while you two were disposing of another uncouth man; he made the mistake of trying to get you away from your beau and received knife stabs from both of you. You no longer had to rely solely on your hat pin; you had a stiletto blade of similar size now. Alastor finished covering the body in dirt; he refused to let you help with digging at all. Instead you kept an eye out as he did.
You provided him with a cloth to clean off the dirt. âMerci, ma cher.â Once he was ready you put it back into your bag and linked arms with him. As you walked together, satisfied, he asked, âY/N, shall we get married?â
The question caught you off guard and you stumbled forward. Just like that first night, he caught you smoothly and lifted you into his arms. â Alastor, darling, where is this coming from?â
âSome at the radio station inquired as to our relationship. I was informed that a successful courtship as ours generally results in a marriage.â He hummed as he carried you. âAfter some thought, I realized the prospect of wedding you isâŠvery appealing.â
You nestled into his embrace. âI havenât given it any thought. It would make life simpler, you wouldnât have to dash around between our homes and work.â You mulled it over. You would like seeing him every morning instead of on occasion. The thought of your dresses next to his suits in the wardrobe, helping each other clean up after a kill, relaxing quietly on the couch while you both read⊠âYes. Letâs get married Alastor. Iâd like that.â
He smiled down at you, looking oddly tender considering what the two of you had been doing just half an hour ago. He leaned down to kiss you softly. âLetâs get you home and weâll work out all the details tomorrow, my dear.â
Initially the two of you planned something simple. But once both your and his coworkers got wind of the nuptials, they insisted on a grand party. Apparently they all felt the two of you were adorably hopeless. Neither of you had realized how invested those around you were in your relationship. You and Alastor concluded that resisting your friends well-wishes was as pointless as resisting a hurricane.
So while the ceremony was a small affair, the party after was held at your club and lasted deep into the night. The proprietors had managed to get a bottle of champagne for you and Alastor. Despite it being your wedding reception, you couldnât help performing one of Alastorâs favorite songs. He then kept you on the dance floor the majority of the evening. He danced as well as he talked. It was a good thing youâd had over a year as his primary dance partner.
You heard some ribald jokes about his stamina. At least thatâs what they sounded like. You still couldnât tell. Not that it mattered much to either of you. All you cared about was your husband was having a great time, out dancing everyone in the building. Once it was time to leave, he carried you into a cab, then carried you into his home.
Despite what the guests had suggested, he was tired after all that. Frankly you were too. So once divested of all the fancy clothing, he tucked you into the bed and climbed in next to you.
For the first time since you met him, he looked nervous in the faint starlight. Of course. This was so far beyond both of your experiences. You probably looked the same. âAlastor? May I?â You held out your arms to him. He gave you a nod and you embraced him, slowly nestling your body against his. âLet me know if itâs too much, cher,â you murmured as he wrapped his arms around you.
He started to relax with you. His breathing matched yours, your heartbeat synchronized with his. You felt his arms growing heavy, their grip softening. Alastor nuzzled your hair and kissed the crown of your head. âThank you for marrying me, Y/N.â
You smiled. âThank you as well Alastor,â you replied before drifting off to sleep.
The two of you did have sex eventually. The first time was a few weeks after the wedding. You were both back to work after a brief honeymoon; when you got back the other singers, the band, even the bartender were all curious about your bedroom activities. They surrounded you while Alastor was conversing with another patron. When all you talked about was how nice falling asleep with him was and the cute sight of him sleeping as the sun rose, they stared at you slack jawed.
Your coworkers consulted amongst themselves. You heard snippets of âdo we need to explain this too, did no one tell them about that, theyâre both such lookers too, I donât wanna tell her, you do it, no you, I ainât gonna tell her.â
After some discussion it seems Mimzy, another singer was appointed to talk to you. âY/N, sweetie, doll, did your mama ever tell you about the birds and the bees?â She guided you to the bar and requested drinks for you both.
âMimzy! I do know about sex. Gracious, Iâm aware of adult urges and where babies come from.â You threw back your drink. The curvy blonde breathed a sigh of relief; at least she didnât need to go over the basics.
âThat is usually what a honeymoon is for dearie.â Mimzy tossed back her own drink. âLook cutie, what you and your mister do at home is your business, but your friends donât want you missing out! You two are good together; Iâve never seen either of ya this happy before.â She downed another drink before hopping over to the stage.
Alastor came up to your side. âLooks like your friends are all in a tizzy dear.â You smiled up at him. âDid you have a strange conversation with your colleagues today too?â
âAh yes,â he leaned on his new cane, a wedding gift. âConcerning my bedroom prowess and your presumed enjoyment thereof.â You couldnât help but laugh huskily. âThe station manager even told me to âremember my duties as a husband.ââ
You gave him a peck on the cheek. âI believe youâre going above and beyond your duties cher.â He kissed your hand and held it while the two of you listened to Mimzyâs set. âIâd best get up there darling.â You gave his hand a squeeze before going to take the stage.
You sang a mix of familiar tunes and a couple new ones youâd picked up on the honeymoon. To finish the performance, you sang the same number from your wedding night, which you had come to think of as Alastorâs song. Many of the patrons were familiar with the two of you, so listening to you sing to your husband made a number of them go misty eyed.
Once back at home, Alastor cleared his throat while unbuttoning his shirt. âDo you want to, cher?â
You continued to remove your jewelry. âPerhaps one day.â You applied cold cream to remove your makeup. âAnd you cher? Do you want to?â You asked back as you wiped your face clean.
He was putting up his suit, more intent on making sure it lined up on the hanger than usual. âPerhaps one day,â he echoed. He stopped fiddling with the suit and stood there in his underclothes. Alastorâs ever present smile was still there but his eyes looked lost.
You finished your nightly routine and went to him, asking gently before taking both his hands in yours. âMa cher, when have we ever been a normal couple? We already have almost a full page of physical affections we enjoy. If we want to see if sex will be on that list one day we can. But not unless we both want to try it.â His smile became more genuine and he pressed both of your hands to his lips. âThank you my dear.â
You gave him a playful look and started humming the opening bars to his song. Alastor gave you a quizzical look back as you started singing it. Before the first verse was over you pulled him into an impromptu dance. In the privacy of your bedroom, you and your husband danced into the night to your voice. To your delight, he joined you in duets and sang a solo for you as you slow danced together.
âAh, my sweet songbird. I am glad I married you.â
âIâve never really seen myself as a songbird before. If anythingâŠâ your eye caught sight of your hat pins on your vanity, âmore of a shrike.â He looked at you in surprise. âA butcher-bird,â you clarified.
âNo no, Iâm aware. I never thought of that comparison for you. It fits though, theyâre pretty little killers that impale their victims.â
âIâm glad you agree darling. Now, we should get some rest.â You put out the light and pulled him into bed. There was a bit of hesitation on his part as he laid down. But he was soon settling into what was becoming your normal sleeping positions: you nestled against his side with his arms around you.
A few days after that, he asked if youâd like to give sex a try that night. You didnât have any problems with the idea so almost a month after your wedding the two of you tried it.
Of course you were both terribly awkward; Alastor pulled your hair more than once and you elbowed him in the neck. But the two of you managed it. Multiple times that night in fact. Evidently that was what those stamina comments were about. Afterward, as he held you close Alastor mused. âHmmm, that was rather enjoyable. I still donât understand everyoneâs fascination but Iâm not opposed to the occasional romp as they say. What did you think darling?â
You thought back. âOnce we figured things out it was fun. I agree though, I donât understand why everyone is so obsessed about it. Itâs rather messy in the end. And I think we can add it to our list, as an occasional activity.â
He chuckled. âYou can add it tomorrow.â
The next day, you joined the other singers chatting before the sets started. One of them was gushing over her new beau and you realized this was a great opportunity to let them know. âAlastor and I had sex last night,â you stated, cheerful and straightforward. Again with the slack jawed looks. âMultiple times actually. Iâm glad Iâm in such good shape, it was more exertion than I expected.â
After a beat one of the girls asked âWell? How was it?â
âHm? Oh! It was fun. My legs are pretty tired so I donât think Iâll be dancing much tonight though. Alastor enjoyed it too, so we decided to do it again someday.â You heard the band warming up. âIâm up first tonight, best get up there.â
As you left the group they started talking rapidly to each other. âDo you think they actually did? Donât see why not, they are the strangest couple Iâve ever met, at least theyâre strange together, I thought for sure one of them would be more excited about doing itâŠâ
Your lives settled into a comfortable routine together. You both continued with your jobs; his broadcast was quite popular and as you increased your skill and song repertoire, you became more successful in the nightlife scene. He accompanied you everywhere which was exactly how you liked it. Every so often the two of you would kill a neâer-do-well or three. Occasionally you had intercourse. You often danced together, both at the club and at home.
This continued for a number of years. By now almost everyone around you was used to the idiosyncrasies in your marriage and just didnât question it.
One night in late summer the pair of you were in the woods, hiding the latest kill. As you kept watch in the humid air, Alastor was dumping dirt over the corpse. âAre you sure you donât need help cher?â
He grunted while lifting more dirt. âWhat kind of gentleman would I be if I made my darling wife fill a hole like this?â You could only shake your head in amusement. You shifted your feet but lost your footing in the process. Both legs swept out beneath you and you landed firmly on your rear. You did your best not to cry out in case your voice carried.
âCher!â Alastor dropped the shovel to help you up. âAre you alright Y/N?â You nodded as you grabbed his outstretched hand. âJust slipped, Iâll be fine Alastor.â
You looked up at your husband and noticed that the branches of the nearby trees gave him the illusion of antlers. You were about to mention it when the sharp crack of a rifle rang out and suddenly his forehead blossomed into a spray of blood and brain matter. âALASTOR!â His name ripped from your throat. He couldnât hear it though; his smile was wiped away as his body dropped to the ground.
âAw shit! I thought he was a deer!â The man who killed your husband yelled out, realizing what heâd done. You screeched and ran in the direction of the voice, pulling your hat pin out as you did so. The hunter wasnât far. You leapt at him, screaming and crying. He was bigger than you but he wasnât expecting a furious murderess to launch herself at him at full speed. He fell to the ground with you straddling his chest and you plunged the hat pin, the one Alastor gave you for your last anniversary, into the manâs eyes and throat. Over and over you shoved the steel into his face. The blood spray and viscera didnât scare you anymore.
You faintly heard, âJesus Mary and Joseph crazy bitch!â through your own screaming. You whirled in that direction to see the second hunter aiming his own rifle at you. You started to move toward him when you felt an intense pain at your brow, followed by nothingness.

Today on my dash I have been seeing alot of posts about Spider being demisexual, which yes I agree, but I just saw some comments about a little overlap in storylines between him and Ca$h and OH MY GOD I NEED IT!!
Picture the scene: season 3 Spider on a journey of self improvement and self discovery, offhandedly hears something about the asexuality spectrum and actually takes in that information for the first time and what that might mean for him. All this time he's been feeling "betrayed by [his] dick" (the note he buried in the feelings pit) but now he realises that maybe he just doesn't understand. So he goes to the only acespec person he knows: Ca$h.
Imagine the two of them engaging in this deep, probably quite awkward, conversation about sexual attraction vs romantic attraction, libido/sex drive, the social stigma of being acespec and internalised acephobia. I mean, this could be a mutually beneficial exchange too because Ca$h, despite being accepting of his own sexuality, is going through a really rough time reckoning with what that really means for him in terms of a relationship - specifically with Darren - and he has a lot to unpack and work through there and being able to talk it through with someone could really help. They might even finally say the word asexual.
I just feel like there's so much potential here. I have faith in the HBH writers that the demisexual coding of Spider was intentional (and even if it wasn't at first that they will hopefully seize the opportunity to make it intentional) and I think there are so many cool ways this could go in terms of character development.

I've noticed a trend in ace related posts where everything needs to be an educational post about every possible experience but I think what we need to realize is people are posting from their individual experiences and thus won't likely fall under every category
I think we have a very hard time finding representation so we try to make any representation a catch all but that isn't always the answer and feels like punishing people for their experiences not checking every micro label box.
This isn't the most coherent post but I just wanted to possibly start this discussion
Like replying to a sex repulsed alloromantic ace's post about their own experience with "well actually some aces do have sex" or "some aces are aro too" doesn't accomplish anything but put down a person for their experience not being all encompassing. Rather than that maybe focus on creating posts or pushing for representation in media of the different experiences.
