#Asexual Sims

Del Sol Valley Pride

Faith wasn’t a big fan of parties. She only joined, because her brother promised to help her with the cat shelter later that week. As soon as Honour’s date was here, she would be going home - Pride 2023

Nothing but asexual discontent.

I love how intricate asexuality can be. No sex at all? Sure! Just want to watch? Brilliant! Only comfortable with topping? You go girl! Only rarely feel aroused and when you do it's very touch and go? Wonderful! Kinky but not in a sex way? Coolio! Queerness is full of nuance and people are complicated and things never live in a vacuum!!

@jonmartinweek day 6: ace day!!!!! woohoo

i’m bi+aceflux and having the main character of one of my favorite series of all time be like me is. so cool. i’m bad at articulating my feelings so i’ll just leave it at that, but know that my entire soul is consumed by this podcast

anyway comics are weird. i would’ve made it longer and maybe colored it more, but i had already drawn way too much and i just couldn't think of anything else to write. also i am very angry at jon’s face in the first panel that angle caused me so much pain

ok im done so i’m just gonna throw this at you

Jon is such an asexual mood.

Jon, doing something illegal with the cop: I'm not doing anything illegal with the cop

Tim: lmao are you banging

Jon: wait no i'm doing something illegal with the cop. tim wait listen i'm doing something illegal tim please

Honestly? I really love how TMA handled Jon's asexuality.

Asexuality is complex and multi-layered. To understand it fully is to understand the many different types of attraction there is out there, and how to differentiate them from one another. Which is already a complicated enough task when you're ace/aro spec- But even more so when you're Allo, as most of those attractions seem to just morph together.

So, of course Melanie (and potentially Georgie) would phrase it as "He just doesn't."

While I would not have minded for asexuality to be name dropped, this is just as good- if not better. It feels in character, it feels realistic. It tells us something about the characters themselves and how they view and understand Jon's sexuality. That they see it in its most bare bone sense : not having sex.

Whether or not Jon is aware of his own sexuality is entirely up to interpretation as well. While I do have my own personal headcanons, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that he could have phrased it this way himself- Either because that is how he understands it, or just because it is the easiest way to explain it to someone who isn't ace.

All in all! In my opinion, this was really well handled, especially considering it is like, five lines of dialogue in a 200 episodes long Horror/Tragedy podcast.

One gripe I have with the tma fandom is that they will not stop sexualizing Jon aka the ONE asexual character and then be like “Well asexuality is a spectrum! Asexual people can have sex!” Which yeah, true, but they say Jon doesn’t period. Literally the direct quote is like “Oh yeah Jon doesn’t at all.” AT ALL. Now stop writing/drawing that man having sex so fucking much

jon being canonically ace makes me so happy :))

edit: i fucked up the stripes on the flag omfg

[sapphofrog]

a day late i think but happy ace week!!!!! <3

[cade-space]

Martin: Are you fucking with me right now?

Jon: The only thing I'm fucking is stupid so no

Martin: *sighs* You are not stupid.

Jon: No yeah I know, I just said it for the joke

Martin: ... The ace joke?

Jon: Ya it's pride month

Martin: ...

Jon: Happy pride mon-

Martin: We're in a fight right now

HAPPY ACE DAY, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS JONATHAN SIMS!

[kayotic-catgirl]

confession that could probably get me executed by the tma fandom:

as someone on the asexual spectrum (please keep this part in mind), i enjoy seeing all the different interpretations of jon's asexuality, instead of acting like he can only be asexual in one specific way like a lot of this fandom does.
