#aroace saiki k

[tdlosk-confessions]

i love love LOVE headcanoning saiki as aroace like yeah!!!!!!!!! that guy in the show who says he's uninterested in romance despite his many potential love interests, including the most beautiful girl in the school??? he's still uninterested by the end of the series!!!! it's such a win for me as an aroace person to see his disinterested approach to romance and sex just never waver throughout the series, even as his tsundere tendencies break down more and more when it comes to his friends. so many shows/movies/etc would see this as something to be "fixed" when the perfect love interest comes along, but not saiki k!!! it just means so much to me <3

also, to me, saiki is exactly the kind of aroace representation i wanted. like i feel like there's two extremes of canonical aroace rep i see, where on one hand you have characters who are canonically aroace, but it'll either be mentioned once or confirmed off-screen, and then it doesn't actually affect the character at all. which feels a little bit too little, or like it doesn't matter... and on the other hand you have characters for whom their aroace identity is the whole focus of their story and character arc. and i guess this is good? but it can feel a little bit too on the nose? at least, to me? er, anyway.... saiki, even though he's not canoncially aroace, sits in this firm middle ground where his lack of interest in romance and sex is important and you get to see it sort of "at work" rather than just hearing about it once, but of course this isn't the Whole focus of the story. i also just find him and his relationship to romance and sex ("don't want it, never have, don't try and convince me that i should because i just don't") personally relatable which is nice.

ANYWAY SORRY FOR THIS LONG PARAGRAPHS BUT i get so excited about his adventures in avoiding romance because he's my absolute ideal kind of aroace rep... even if his identity isn't canon. to me it doesn't even matter that him being aroace isn't canon because whatever he has going on still represents my OWN aroace identity so well. anyway you can pry aroace saiki from my cold dead hands <3

Aahh real!! I've always appreciated the aroace Saiki hc too because it just feels.. natural? (I think that's how to describe it)

Like he actively shows signs of him being aroace through dialogue and actions but its never said actually or spelled out in front of your face which I like cause it kinda feels like show, don't tell

But yeah aroace saiki is pretty cool :)

Saiki's pocket ripped! What a disaster!!!!!

[sweetescence]

the day aroace characters stop getting shipped constantly with the entire cast is the day i will be in peace

[jollywasnthere]

Am I the only one who noticed this? I think Mao Mao also fits in on the aroace part, what other characters fit in?

unfortunately the kubokai brain worms are taking over

We need more comedies like Romantic Killer and Saiki K where the plot revolves around the main character actively avoiding romantic interactions and still not being interested in a relationship by the end. It's just so funny and one of my favorite tropes.

Aromantic and/or asexual characters

New addition!

[cammy-mcspammy]

Who is a character (state media they are from) that you headcanon or is in canon Aro/Ace?

Mine is Kusuo Saiki from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Who I headcanon (and is not confirmed but alluded to be) AroAce!
