if you see a male character kiss a male character, you assume they are gay.

if you see a female character kiss a female character, you assume they are a lesbian.

if you hear a character say they don't feel like their gender, you assume they are trans.

so why do a-spec characters have to jump through so many loops?

a character saying they've never had a crush or don't want a relationship or that they don't understand romantic love is so often ignored or used as fodder for other queer or autistic headcanons (reinforcing stereotypes that aroace people are secretly gay or always autistic)

why is it that our stories are always "up to interpretation"? why do we have to wait for the words aromantic or asexual to be said to be taken seriously? why is it that even when characters say they don't want relationships, fans will scream and cry about sex/romance favourable aspecs and qprs?

when it comes to gay and trans characters, even the likes of bisexual lighting is often treated as though it canonises their sexuality. for aroace characters, even the most explicit coding possible is swept under the rug in favour of other "interpretations"

i'm so tired of fighting for representation just to have it ignored and minimised by fans. let characters be aroace. please.

anyways one thing that I continue to think about regarding Gravity Falls is that Dipper wanted to find the Author of the Journals, and Mabel wanted an epic summer romance — and Dipper got what he wanted, but it was nothing like what he expected it to be, while Mabel didn't get what she wanted, but learned that she could still love herself and be happy regardless — without either of them being shamed for wanting those things in the first place.

The only dndads head cannon that i care so so much for is lark being on the aromantic spectrum. Like if sparrow is the love wolf he must be the lone wolf.

Another headcanon…

I don't often talk about my headcanons here but I was watching Dead Boy Detectives recently and I couldn't help but think Niko would be a perfect Aegoromantic character.

I mean, it's stated multiple times she "loves love" but never had experience and she looks pretty much uninterested in being in a relationship herself. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember her manifesting interest in anyone or being "I wish so much I was in a relashionship right now". Of course, it doesn't mean she wouldn't feel the attraction but we don't know specifically about attraction until the character say themself, so I'm basing my theory on the vague information we got.

And being aegosexual myself, I tend to headcanon her as aegosexual as well but no evidences on the sexual attraction part.

I also heard she's not in the comics so, maybe there's hope?

Y'know what I find curious about this season?

Some people may cry all they want about "payneland being queerbait" because they didn't end up together (and if that old interview is anything to go by, aren't goint to hold your horses I'm rooting for them too), but the fact is,

no one did.

There were PLENTY of romantic plotlines within those 8 episodes, I'm amazed just how packed with everything those roughly 7-8 hours are... back to the topic though. We have:

Edwin pining after Charles

Charles and Crystal's whatever-they-have-going-on (no srsly explain it to me like I'm five, way to make seemingly straight relationship not boring, they're queer af and I like it with all its awkwardness and uncertainty)

The Cat King pining after Edwin

Monty pining after Edwin

Simon pining after Edwin I think we've spotted the initial DISASTER gay, literally - who gets so frustrated their crush doesn't notice them that they end up sacrificing the crush and everyone involved to HELL???

The unfortunate date of Jenny and Maxine

Vaguely but let's count ep 5 too because it's basically based on romantic relationship drama

Esther? Should we count Esther's failed marriage? And her husband's affair? I'll go with count it

Now, that's about 6-9 romantic plotlines.

Does ANY of them, ANY AT ALL, get its proverbial "happily ever after"?

Nuh-uh.

I think Edwin and Charles have the most promising outcome out of all of them, actually. Yes it's as vague as it can get, but "literally forever to figure out the rest" is at least hopeful and gives a way for anything to develop.

Crystal set her boundaries pretty clearly. She may still have a crush on Charles but she doesn't want this to evolve into anything, she wants to be friends. Which is - yay, friends! No romance though.

Edwin also rejected both the CK and Monty in very clear terms.

Jenny's still single in september.

I believe you remember all the secondary lines.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. DBD said aro rights :DDD

tough love by gracie abrams but it's aromantic mary macdonald

[the1entirecircus]

Me, an Aromantic: isn’t there the slightest possibility you might be misinterpreting the fact that they are just friends?

Most Fandoms I’m in: *Eldritch screams of judgement and accusations of homophobia*

Me:…alrighty then.
