[faithfromanewperspective]

yes i know tsc's aspec representation and how it often seems accidental is a meme but can we also acknowledge that james 'i thought perhaps it was not in my nature to want' herondale is as iconic a line as raphael 'sexuality is not interested' santiago

[fallenrocket]

Got started on my International Asexuality Day post a bit too late. I'll post it today and go back and add pictures tomorrow (update: pictures and alt text added! Cue Todd Chavez-style "Hooray!") These are some of my favorite fictional aces, canonical and otherwise:

The Doctor (Doctor Who)

While we can’t ignore the factor that the Doctor is 1000+ years old and an alien, or the BBC’s old “no hanky-panky in the TARDIS” rule from the classic series, the Doctor is still one of my favorite aspec headcanons. I love that their romantic orientation and gray-to-ace-ness can vary a little with each regeneration, and I adore how much weight is given to the Doctor’s friendships.  The relationships between the Doctor and their companions are so always so strong, always take pride of place. In fact, if I ever have a platonic partner, I hope our relationship is a lot like the Doctor’s with Donna!

Varys (Game of Thrones)

Varys is notable for being one of the few canonical aces on this list that I didn’t have to seek out.  With most shows that confirm their asexual character’s identity onscreen, I’ve watched specifically because I heard it had an ace character, but with Varys, I was just watching an ordinary episode and he came out.  While it’s a brief scene, it’s a good one.  It handily addresses a few myths about aceness (if he’s not into men, he must be into women, “everybody is interested in something,” etc.) emphasizes that Varys being asexual predates his becoming a eunuch, and importantly, establishes that Varys 100% likes being the way he is.

Jughead Jones (Jughead)

I’m beyond thrilled that such an iconic, longstanding character has identified as asexual, and that it actually fits his 75+-year comic history.  More than that, I love that Jughead is a smart, funny hero who’s perfectly happy being ace—there’s only room in his heart for burgers, and that’s the way he likes it.  I also appreciate Jughead for being as flirting-illiterate as I am and, although I have issues with the arc overall, for giving me my first story about an ace trying to figure out how to turn down a date without hurting his friend’s feelings.

Todd Chavez (BoJack Horseman)

For other LGBTQ folks, stories about characters realizing their queerness, struggling to accept it within themselves, and slowly starting to come out are old-hat clichés, but for asexual characters, that narrative is still largely unexplored.  Todd is the first ace character I encountered who has a storyline figuring out his sexuality.  Even if other queer characters don’t need any more of these narratives, aces do—it was so affecting to watch someone on TV go through the same thing I did.

Voodoo Dunacci (Sirens)

Though she’s a relatively small character on the show, Voodo makes a big impact as an asexual character.  She’s unapologetically a romantic ace with no “hey, wait a minute!” moment as to how her romantic orientation reconciles with her asexuality.  Thanks to Brian’s curiosity/ignorance about aceness, we also get some real Ace 101 moments, like our triangle symbol, that pretty much never gets play in mainstream media.

Raphael Santiago (Shadowhunters)

When an asexual-coded character is in an ace/allo relationship, they and their partner can run into some issues when addressing the idea of intimacy: because they don’t have words to describe who they are, it’s difficult for them to talk about what they need.  Luckily, the show is overt about Raphael’s identity, and he has no problem explaining to Izzy that he’s not interested in sex (and that, like Varys, he’s always been that way—it had nothing to do with becoming a vampire.)  I like that he’s so comfortable in discussing it, and I love how his attraction to Izzy is so plainly romantic but not sexual; it’s beautiful to see.

Alice Johnson (Let’s Talk about Love)

Alice, my beloved! When I read Let’s Talk about Love, my overwhelming reaction was, “Can you have a crush on a book?”, and a lot of that is down to this utterly lovable character. I like that she falls head-over-heels for Takumi in such an asexual way, and I like that, as powerful as those feelings are, her close friendships are still just as important to her. Special shoutout to her being biromantic—most of the folks on this list are either aro or heteroromantic, and I love seeing more variation!

Krel Tarron (3Below)

Aroace-coded king (in waiting)! Krel is an alien, but that has no bearing on his orientation—both Aja and Varvatos have no issues with dating humans, while Krel couldn’t be less interested in the whole venture. I’ll love him forever for, “Ugh, dating! While you all mash faces together, I’m going to break the laws of physics!” Iconic.

Elijah (Big Mouth)

As an ace who was also raised in an evangelical Christian background under purity culture, I really appreciate Elijah as a character. He’s introduced on the show as a kid who’s super into church youth group, but over the course of season 6, we (along with him) slowly realize that he’s not “resisting the temptation” of sex, he’s just not interested in it. A couple episodes before the reveal, I started to suspect he was ace and was really happy to learn I was right! One moment that really hit me is when Elijah looks around the middle school where it seems like everyone is obsessed with sex and just sighs, “What am I even doing on the show?”

Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death)

Okay, so there’s actually nothing concrete I can say about Frenchie. There’s never a moment in the show where he brings up sex at all, where he’s confused by flirting, or where other members of the crew are wondering who, if anyone, he’s attracted to. But his vibes are just impeccably aroace. I can’t explain it, but if you know, you know.

Sarah “O” Owens (Sex Education)

Certainly not the most lovable character on this list, but a very interesting one. I like that O is kind of conniving and self-serving, and that she hurts others due to her own insecurities. And having an asexual sex therapist is a definite mood—the flashback of O’s “origin story” as a sex therapist is wonderfully done. Also, I appreciate that this is a show that’s introduced two different ace characters (Florence from season 2 being the other) who are in separate storylines in totally different contexts.

Pelé: Art, Life, Football

On 22nd September 2015, legendary footballer Pelé was at Halcyon Gallery in London to unveil Pelé: Art, Life, Football, an exhibition celebrating his 75th birthday and lifetime of sporting and humanitarian achievements.

Arriving in true style on a bespoke number 10 Pelé bus, the Brazilian hero unveiled the highly anticipated collection alongside internationally acclaimed artists including Lorenzo Quinn, Mitch Griffiths, Pedro Paricio, Santiago Montoya and Ernesto Cánovas at an exclusive pre-launch ahead of the opening on Saturday 26th September.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is Warhol’s original painting Pelé (1977) from his ‘Athletes’ series comprising ten portraits of sporting heroes. The renowned pop artist famously predicted that one day, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes, but it would be Pelé whose fame would last for “15 centuries.”

The exhibition, open to the general public until 18th October, will display photography, original paintings, limited edition sculptures and prints by 13 artists including Andy Warhol, Lorenzo Quinn, Mitch Griffiths, Ernesto Canovas, Santiago Montoya, Ronnie Wood, Russell Young, Raphael Mazzucco and Stuart McAlpine Miller.

In addition to the contemporary artwork on display, the exhibition will also include iconic memorabilia from Pelé’s incredible career; the world famous Jules Rimet trophy and his 3 World Cup Medals football - on loan for the first time ever outside of Brazil.

Commenting on the exhibition Pelé said: “I feel extremely blessed to be working with the Halcyon Gallery who have commissioned such an exciting collection to celebrate my birthday and my career. Art has played a big role in my life for many years and it has been a very humbling experience to have so many talented artists creating such beautiful work in my honour. I believe art can be interpreted in many ways much like football, Football is art to me and it’s a very nice birthday present!

Paul Green, President of Halcyon Gallery added: “If ever the expression ‘the beautiful game’ was applicable to one individual it was Pelé. And it is this beauty, this creativity, this human presence that we wanted this exhibition to capture and re-create on canvas, in sculpture and in print. When we open our doors on September 26th we are confident that the public will be able to experience something truly unique”.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a book which will include essays by Dr. Bernard Vere, Lecturer in Modern Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, and bestselling biographer Brian Winter. A limited boxed edition comprising a framed, signed limited edition print and book will also be available. Of Pelé’s enduring impact, Winter writes:

“Pelé is a beacon of simple, non-empirical emotion. Something about the man makes us happy, joyous, whole. We need not be fans of football, or even sport, to feel his magic. More than half of the planet’s people weren’t even born when Pelé played his final professional match, in 1977. Yet, somehow, he makes them smile too. He delights and inspires, even today.”

If these are popular I might do some for ships too (like Malec, Maiaphael, Raphaeliorn, Maiabelle, Isabeliorn, Saia, etc. Idk we’ll see.) but I’ve literally been making these since I got up [checks watch] holy SHIT I’ve been doing this for 12 hours now. Wow. The power of spite, everyone.

Anyway my hand is cramping like crazy because since I don’t have photoshop and don’t know how to use any editing programs I just used my sketchbook app on my phone to painstakingly remove all the backgrounds by erasing them little by little, by hand, with my stylus. Then adjusting everything with the touch screen. So like my hands and shoulders and back are hella cramped I’ve been hunched over like this all day lkgjfgfh oh my god

ANYWAY I’m gonna go stretch and idk treat myself to a soda and play some Bug Fables or something, peace, y’all. Hope literally anyone appreciates these even tho they’re nowhere near the usual crazy professional quality you see from the real artists and iconmakers on tumblr lmao
