#aroace characters

[am3ya]

the issue with shipping aro/ace characters isn't putting them into relationships, it's the fact that no one adds how their sexuality impacts the relationship at large. And how it'll always be different from your average romantic relationship in some way.

loved the little part where Isaac says that a relationship seems nice in theory but it isn't what he actually wants and James goes "so you're aromantic?" and Isaac absolutely lights up with a smile and he says "you know what that is?"

the funny part is that when James said that my face also lit up with a smile and my thoughts were "he knows what it is!!" even while watching fictional characters. the fact that our identity is so unknown and invisible makes this such a universal aro experience.

Canon asexual characters are the coolest and deserve more love

AroAce people: YAY! We finally have some representation in the media! The representation:

Aroace Clay and JD aroace Clay and JD

aromantic and asexual people deserve representation. we deserve to see characters who feel neither sexual nor romantic attraction. we deserve to see characters who only experience romantic or sexual attraction. we deserve to see characters who experience different types of attractions at different levels. we deserve representation for the variety that is the aromantic spectrum and the asexual spectrum.

“Rick did Artemis so dirty in PJO shes not aroace bla bla bla”

It’s almost like PJO isn’t completely accurate and they’re still characters for him to write. The fact y’all are so hurt by a character being aroace says a lot too.

Artemis is aroace. The hunters are aroace. It’s canon in the PJO universe go cry somewhere else because I’m not taking the aphobic shit

personally, i don’t think anyone should ship aro/ace/aroace characters with anyone unless they know how those relationships work (or are on the aro/ace spectrum themselves). sure, some of them can be similar to a relationship where neither person is aro/ace/aroace, but a lot of times they are different in some way. unless you can grasp what that means for the aro/ace/aroace character i feel like it’s going to be straight up mischaracterizing them, and not in a funny way. (this is mostly geared towards if people post a lot about whichever character/relationship or if they make art/fanfics of that type of relationship)

(this is my personal opinion, and i’m not saying you have to agree with me)

edit:

i hope people realize i was mostly talking about shipping pre-existing characters specifically. ones that already have established that they’re aro/ace and people either ignoring that, or acting like their relationship wouldn’t differ from most relationships due to them being aro/ace. that’s different from making your own aro/ace character, whether you are or not.

my whole point was just that aroace relationships are different from allo relationships. i apologize if it didn’t come across that way but i did specifically say “ship” so ??? i’m confused if the people reblogging it are addressing that or something else :')

"No, I know they would be [supportive]! Honestly, I... I just can't be bothered to give everyone a vocab lesson" IS SO FUCKING REAL AAAHSJAHJHJHISJHJHK

[sourpatchgrapes]

"They're bi and no one wants them" boring, insufferable,why make them bi to begin with and then say no one wants them. Seems like you're playing it safe not to piss off the biphobes.

"They're aroace and no one wants them" hilarious,it's less annoying, they don't want anyone to begin with. And it's a great way to confirm them being aroace by having them mention that they're really not interested every time someone goes like "Ew,you have a crush on me or something?". Or when someone assumes they're in a relationship with/has a crush on their friends or enemies.
