#AceSpacers

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Ultimately, the Inspector and Emerald were unable to save anyone from AceSpace,

since the AceSpacers believed that their youth was enough to protect them from whatever the world outside of the dome had in store for them.

‘We could save you lot, if you just let us. You don’t know what’s waiting for you out there.’

I got an account on acespace a week ago and so far it's going about as well as I expected. (I don't mean this in a bad way.)

It's really cool to be able to see so many ace people on the same website, especially since I'd guess around half of them are from other continents. I feel a lot less like a freak knowing that there are others out there.

Anyway, matched with 5 different people after liking ~40 profiles and have been conversing with 1 of them consistently.

The two biggest downsides are people leaving information in their profiles blank and people not checking their notifications. The former is likely going to remain an issue, and the latter will probably be solved once the app is released for beta testing.

In conclusion, I'm hoping I'll get at least 1 friend out of this, and it's helped me feel more like part of a community.

Recently on Reddit I learned that there is a dating/friendship site just for a-spec people! It's called AceSpace. I wanted to share it here to help spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

It does not follow the swiping model popularized by Tinder. Instead you search all users (with filters)! There no limit to how many people you can like, match with, or message. There is also a built-in social media feed that anyone can post to. Because of the small community, it's a very relaxed place.

All the main features are free, and they're going to stay that way. Anything you have to pay for is either purely cosmetic or not necessary to enjoy the site.

You are not required to have a profile picture, although that is strongly recommended, but it doesn't have to be a photo of you. One of your pet, or a Picrew, or something like that is fine! You are also not required to use your first and last name.

Right now it's browser only, but a mobile app version is in development.

It's pretty small at the moment because it's fairly new, so don't expect to find 50+ people in your area. I think right now word-of-mouth is the main (or only) way people are finding it.

It's also friendly to all of these people!: Aromantics and anyone on that spectrum People looking for Queerplationic relationships People looking for Polyamorus relationships Sex-repulsed people Romance-repulsed people

Link to AceSpace

Under the cut is more info for how it all works!

Okay, let's go through this one tab at a time!

Home:

This is the social media feed I mentioned earlier. So far my experience is "it's like if Facebook wasn't full of old conservative people, unfunny memes, and clickbait." Which is to say it's mostly life updates, asexual memes, and "Hi! I'm new here." Everyone on AceSpace is allowed to post here.

When you post, you have to option to specify that the post is relating to one of your interests. It's the button inside the text box that says "AceSpace". Only people who have the same interests on their profile as you will see these posts. For example, if I change it to "crochet" only other crocheters will see it on their feed.

You can filter your feed by your interests and your location, but some locations and interests don't have any posts right now.

Discover:

This is where you find and match with people! Since the userbase is pretty small, searching all users is not as overwhelming as it sounds. Especially once you have a few filters set the list of people will become much more manageable.

On the left, there's a sidebar with the current filter settings. By default, the filters are set to what you specified you're looking for on your profile. But you are free to adjust them as you wish.

If you set your profile to relationship only, only people looking for relationships will see you in search results. Same with friends only. So if you're only there to make friends, you won't have any people who don't stop to read trying to flirt with you.

Right now most of the userbase is in the US and UK, but there's a handful of people in other countries.

Messages:

Pretty self explanatory. Just your standard DMs. No limit on these, nor do they expire or close after a certain time.

My Profile:

The profiles have a ton of room to give a detailed description of yourself, your interests, and what you're looking for in a partner/friend. You also have more than one text box to fill out, and you can title those boxes whatever you want! Although there are preset titles to get you started on what to write.

On the right is a sidebar that gives the basics for what you are looking for in a partner/friend. Specifically age, gender, and their repulsion-favourableness towards sex and romance. Unlike for your own attitude, you can set this as a range. (e.g. Indifferent to favourable towards romance.) If you want to get any more specific in what you're looking for, you will have to write it out yourself in one of the bio sections.

The rest of sidebar gives basic details about you, so you don't have to write them out in your bio. Not just gender and age, but your physical build, your education level, your feelings about marriage, your interests/hobbies, kids or no kids, your preferences with long distance relationships, your political leanings, how much you do or don't drink, and more.

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT LEAVE OPTIONS BLANK

Let's say you're indifferent about marriage. You'd be happy with whatever your partner wanted to do. So you just leave your feelings about marriage blank/as prefer not to say. Well, unfortunately this means anyone searching for "does not want marriage," "open to marriage," or "does want marriage" won't see you! Sadly, there is no way to say you feel indifferent with these options. The closest thing is "open to it."

So if you want people to find you, fill out all the options if possible.

(I'm only bringing this up because I've seen so many profiles where people only filled out half of the options. Or just the required ones. So I don't see them in search results unless I clear almost all filters, and the same goes for everyone else on AceSpace.)

Okay, but what is it like to use AceSpace?

I've been on there for about two or three weeks, and I'd say it's pretty slow paced and easy-going. You don't need to constantly check it or always have the tab open unless you're currently messaging someone.

The busiest the feed gets is one post every 15-20 minutes, but usually it's about one post an hour. I'm able to fully catch up on all the overnight posts in like 5 minutes. So yeah, you could easily just check in once or twice a day and be fine.

So far I've only had one person Like my profile and send me a message, but they never got back to me. (They might have deleted their profile, actually.) But! I'm not losing hope. This is pretty standard to see on any dating site. Lost of people come and go and come back again.

[templeofshame]

i think nb people should be able to message first on bumble? tbh i think men should too, why would being a woman mean i want the pressure of conversation-starting? should i only swipe on women so it's even. also i hate the time limit so i guess everything that sets bumble apart sucks. but Her is limited and not a great vibe, Taimi is Terrible, Feeld i literally couldn't get a single match, so that just leaves Hinge or i guess people do tinder?

Lex is hookups, yeah? I haven't tried it

[dining-and-pining]

Such fun to join AceSpace and see that basically everybody is like 8024 miles from me. Why do I live in the fucking North Pole

So, I ended up turning a dating site for aces into my favorite social media platform

I can't help myself, everyone in there is just so interactive

[purple-dragon]

i feel like i'm hitting a new low in my life if i'm seriously considering getting on dating apps to try and find more friends/a qpr

[goldenfire357]

Happy Pride Month y'all! I decided that this would be a great chance to show my OC here! Not manay details have been determined for her yet, but all I have made is that her story will be outer-space themed and she is in her early 20s.

Don't forget to check out my Newgrounds because that's where I mainly post my artworks! And PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM because majority of my artworks are only one vote away from getting a rating and that annoys me ToT.

So yeah Link in Bio and I hope y'all have a great day.

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

The fact that Johnny Shaker-Saltz seems a bit quick to dismiss Emerald because of her association with an ‘oldy’ and to rely on what his social-media feed gives him

shows that the AceSpacers are really daft about most everything, probably made that way by their reliance on the technology.

[tet-0]

I've been on an Ace dateing website acesapace for a little bit. Should really check back on it but I think more people should be on it. JOIN US. There is a main area where people share images of their cats. 18+ obviously but yeah! I've found it good for finding a QPR but MORE PEOPLE JOIN PLEASE (If you want.) You can also just use it to talk to other ace/aro spec people.

You can put if you are looking for friendship and or relationship and then how you feel about a QPR or Polyamory in the about you. Not looking, maybe, looking for.

Who is Glodis?

Art by @acespace42

"Greetings, Earthlings! I have come in search of knowledge and coffee!"

Glodis is a Globarbian from the planet of Globarb. They were wanting to go on a mission to the planet of Earth and gather resources and information, but the leader of Globarb, Sidolgus, denied them that chance.

Art done by EmeraldKamala

Then, one day, Glodis went to go see the rocket that would take the lucky Globarbian to the planet of Earth and in a series of unfortunate events, Glodis ended up blasting off in the rocket all the way to the planet of Crystalga.

Since that day, Glodis has adjusted to their new home planet and has made friends with a lot of interesting faces, including Chris the Zorua, Chrissy the Zoroark, Misty Hylees, and more!

Art done by @acespace42

Though they may be tall, standing at six feet and having multiple tentacles for traversal, Glodis is a gentle-hearted curious individual who wants to know as much about the world as they can. And yet, even if they need to fight, they wield a blaster with three settings: Pyro (which shoots out fire energy shots), Electro (which shoots out electrical bolts), and Hydro (which shoots out bursts of water).

As a Globarbian, Glodis can fall from any height, be cut in half, and maybe even get shot by various guns, and they will survive! However, their one weakness is fire. Globarbians have a natural weakness to fire, so one burn to Glodis, and they are toast!

Art by @acespace42

And while it may become apparent if you scroll down their Toyhouse profile, in another timeline and possibly another universe, Glodis is in love with Ace Starr, a character made by @acespace42 . The two are inseparable, and it goes without saying that AceSpace's favorite character in my Fictional Family is Glodis.

Art done by SkeletonKid5

One last note: Glodis is adopted. I adopted them on July 16th of 2019, meaning soon, it will be 4 years since they joined the Fictional Family. I adopted them from an artist by the name of Kokytea. If they are reading this post right now, I want to thank you so much, and you can rest assured, Glodis is still in good hands.

To see all of Glodis' art and more information about them, you can check out their Toyhouse profile!

If you want to read Glodis' origin story, you can read it here:

I've been trying AceSpace and my experiences so far are... interesting. It's very chill over there, but I'm not sure what I should be doing in terms of posting. I've never been good at just diving into a new community.

I think for now I'm just going to work on my profile, because that seems to be the thing 90% of people neglect on any dating and/or friendship app/site.

@acespace-spaceplace

crinoids are so insane what's up with them

????? plant

??????? plant whos schmoovin

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Another quite ambiguous situation is the origin of the Maneaters, which is never explained, nor really implied or guessed at.

Given that they’re seen on the AceSpacers’ planet, they could have originated on either the colony or the home world.
