"Cale is THE AroAce of TCF"

I (extremely respectfully, keep on sharing those delightful headcanons gang) disagree.

Choi Han is THE AroAce of TCF. No, I'm serious. Give me a few paragraphs of your time?

Cale is not Currently the AroAce of TCF... By virtue of how Cale hasn't thought about his sexuality or romantic alignment due to the partial curse he was under for 36 years (loving and immediately losing doesn't give you much wiggle room to categorize) and he hasn't had time to start now. He's either plotting for the survival of his family or disassociating. Cale is by virtue of not even assuming one way or the other while calling nearly everyone he likes that he meets handsome, pretty, beautiful, or making elves look like squids, still in the process of Questioning. He also excels in the art of lying to himself about love. Love that he basically gave himself a mental illness to trick the curse inside him.

I can see him ending up AroAce of course, but for now, he is using his favorite coping mechanism of Not Looking At It. That's called Questioning or Avoidance in my experience.

Meanwhile, Choi Han, who has been asked by his disassociating liege to break the bed, sneak into his room, and strip, has not once thought about sex or romance. He's not in the habit of remarking on the appearance of anyone with interest outside battle or general wellbeing... Or insults. Although he has forgotten much about his upbringing, he knows different forms of love as he was clearly raised with so much of it. He also is deeply aware of the fact he will live so much longer than other humans ever will, or most other races for that matter. The knowledge that the loss he thinks of is always friends and family, never the great angst of having a lover and losing them.

Raon is his great soulmate, the one he will live to the exact millisecond of life's end. Basically, he dedicated his lifespan to his favorite nephew! (As proven by the latest chapters of Vol 2, sorry Jung Soo.) He has no regrets about this- in part because it helped Cale, but also because he didn't want himself or Raon to live alone. Not for one second. And it never crossed his mind that in the future he might fall in love, to ask for that prospective future partner's lifespan instead. Or children of his own.

So, Choi Han is AroAce.

Ya know being on the "no..?" scale of everything, gender, sexuality, romantic attraction, is honetsly genuinely painful

I see other trans people finding who they are, going from A to B, and being so incredibly happy, even if "B" takes a long long time to get to and realise and work through, there is an end to the road and that end is a happy one

I see other queer people finding who theyre attracted to and being overjoyed there are people like them, and they can recognize themselves with others and love how they were always meant to, feeling free in some regard

I see people, any people, love and do it with their full chest and feel so comforted in that feeling, in that category, being in love and doing so proudly.

And i look at myself and find no point A to point B, i find no goal im going toward, no growth, no change in perspective of myself, i find isolation from everyone else and confusion in myself as I stumble along, not fitting into anything others do, void of a feeling others describe as amazing, i only miss it because others show it off with a big smile. I only know im lacking because others are not

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

[ID: Two versions of a pride flag with seven symstrical stripes of: seafoam green, robin’s egg blue, purple, black, purple, robin’s egg blue, and seafoam green. The first is square shaped, the second is much wider than it is tall. End ID.]

An aroace agender flag that’s more than just a combination of the ace, aro, and agender flags, because it’s its own distinct thing, and more than “just” three things put together, and it deserves its own flag :)

Feel free to use for icons, headers, moodboards, redubble designs, literally anything you’d use a pride flag for, no credit necessary!

The second version should fit as a tumblr header!

Evbo "What's a pronoun" Any Pronouns Pansexual Polyamorous (mind is blown the first time she/her is used for them "you can do that?")

EPN she/they called Niamh send tweet

Amethyst Snitch/Evbo's Fighter Ally they/them GreyroDemiace

Shapeshifter Evbo but he doesn't know for ages because shapeshifting requires the kind of energy starvation doesn't give you (gives off uncanny valley vibes to everyone he meets bc of it until he finally learns how to shapeshift and then everyone's like "oh makes sense checks out no notes")

PanPolyAny Parkbo Vs AroAceAgender PvPbo Vs GayTransGreyro Vaultbo Vs AroAlloIt/They Redbo FIGHT!!

"Guilty as charged."

They put up their hands for a moment in mock surrender.

"Though I'm a triple A battery to be exact. Which sort of puts me out of my depth in specific relationship advice. Hm."

Hm, haven't heard from Shield in a while

*Time to go find the guy*

It looks like you didn't have to look too hard, as you'd soon find the guy (gender-neutral) walking around in the distance. They seem to be wearing clothes too. They notice you and give an excited wave!

"Is that you over there Medic?"

Infrequently Asked Questions

What is the Dawn Expanse, and why does it exist?

The Dawn Expanse is an aroaceagender worldbuilding project created by @roguetelepaths.

It can best be described as an act of radical imagination— if we only ever see ourselves as outsiders in an allonormative, amatonormative, binary world, then we have no choice but to accept our marginalization. If we build worlds with ourselves at the center, we can become confident enough to center our own needs and aims in this world.

Queer worldbuilding projects of all kinds are important and often neglected tools of empowerment, and this blog would love to connect with others running similar projects.

What do you mean, "aroaceagender worldbuilding project"?

The Dawn Expanse can be loosely compared to Aristasia (though without the reactionary and imperialistic overtones of that project) — a femme lesbian subculture based around a fantasy country where femininity and relationships between women were considered not just default, but a fundamental law of nature. I should note that while this subculture has been made up of people with varying and often abhorrently conservative political positions, it no longer really exists and those I've seen talk the most about it these days are mostly left-leaning trans women. There is no real-world subculture based around the Dawn Expanse, or at least, there isn't one yet, however, the basic principle is the same. The Dawn Expanse is a world in which everyone is aroaceagender. More precisely, it's a world in which gender, sexuality, and romance never had a reason to exist, and therefore do not. The project aims both to provide comfort to those who have the specific experience I'm representing here and to explore the unique social structures of such a world.

So do you hate gender/sex/romance, or people for whom those things are important?

If this blog was devoted to cat videos, would you ask me if I hated dogs?

I'm not aro, ace, and/or agender. Can I read this?

I'm not a cop.

I'm not aro, ace, and/or agender. Will I enjoy this?

I don't know. Will you?

Are you some kind of aroaceagender separatist?

No. The number of different experiences under each of those labels, the incredibly small subcategory of people who fit into all three, and the even smaller fraction of that group that experiences their identities in the same way I do would make an honest to goodness real-world "aroaceagender separatist" position both a laughable one to take and an impossible one to execute.

I am, however, an aroaceagender person who prioritizes my relationships with those who either share my experience or are willing to show that they respect and affirm it.

If the Dawn Expanse doesn't have 🌶️🌶️ spicy romance 🌶️🌶️, what does it have?

Literally everything else? Idk man, is your world so narrow that you think a piece of art has to have that to be interesting? You've got BookTok, 99% of AO3, and many, many sites specifically devoted to written erotica if that's what you're after. Let the rest of us have one thing.

But to answer the question in more detail, the tone of the Dawn Expanse aims to be tonally similar to animated series such as Steven Universe, The Owl House, or She-Ra and the Princesses of Power in its approach to balancing interpersonal conflicts with higher stakes world events. Thematically, it aims to explore community bonds, sense of place or lack thereof, and the false dichotomy of order and entropy.

Can I write my own stories in the Dawn Expanse setting?

Yes! I'll be writing a more detailed post about what to consider when doing this at some point.

Can I run a tabletop campaign in the Dawn Expanse setting?

Absolutely. In fact, one of my eventual goals for this project is a system-agnostic RPG setting guide. (Though, knowing me, it'll probably be biased towards the Cypher System, my favorite do-it-all RPG ruleset.)

You're really mean in some of the replies to these imaginary questions. Why?

I'm tired. That's why. The good news is that if you actually take the time to talk to me in good faith, I'm not nearly this much of an asshole. So the rudeness is probably not directed at you.
