I donāt like feeling so attached to a ship that it feels like my enjoyment of the show is deeply and intrinsically tied to that ship. It sucks. It narrows my field of view for all the amazing character dynamics and makes me feel like media is nothing without shipping. Like thereās no depth or fun to be had outside of romance. I generally feel that way sometimes and I hate it.
Itās like my brain thinks āWell, if I donāt write a romance fic, what is there really to write about? What will people even like about it if itās not romance centered/heavy?ā
I have spent my entire life of fandom nerdage being so obsessed with ships and romance that I canāt say for sure Iāve ever honestly written more than a drabble that was non ship or romance related. 98% of my art gallery is ships. And I personally feel saddened by this, putting it into perspective.
Iām not saying that I think itās bad to ship, or that I should just never let myself enjoy couples in media. Itās okay to find joy in romantic narrative, however, if itās at a point where Iām seriously asking myself the above questions and wondering if I would even still love YJ s1 so much if Wally and Artemis werenāt a thingā¦ thatās really bad, imo.
Artemis and Wally are not my favorite characters because they are a ship. Theyāre my favorite characters because I enjoy them themselves first and foremost. I loved YJ before Artemis was even introduced, so it stands to reason I love the show beyond a romantic pair. I love superhero shows for the powers, the characters, the fights, the superhero drama, the fams(Batfam, flashfam, etc). I loved Teen Titans because I loved Beast Boy, and I loved the team dynamic, the silliness, the fights, the pseudo anime style, the tone. I enjoyed Terra/Beast Boy and Starfire/Robin, and it was a big āFinally!ā when the latter got together, but I never ever felt my happiness or enjoyment of the show hinged on those pairings, even though the former ending sadly did break my lil heart.
I love Young Justice because I love the tone, the setting, the characters, the dynamics, powers, the over-arching plot. I enjoyed the covert ops style of the Team and found it a refreshing take on the superhero cartoon genre. I love how grounded the series is while still being wild and fun. I loved getting to see the Team as normal teenagers that happened to have very grand extracurriculars. I loved the animation and character designs.
Artemis is my favorite. I love her because she has such a great design. Sheās cool, she looks cool. Sheās snarky and kind of jaded, she takes no shit, she knows what sheās about and what she wants, and no one, not even Batman, is going to stop her. Sheās a tough girl, sheās insecure and hides it with confidence she might not always feel. Sheās one of a kind, sheās the white sheep of her family. I love her back story. Despite everything, she is who she wants to be, she never lost sight of that. I love her relationship with Jade, how she loves her sister despite being on opposite sides and Jade ditching her. Sheās passionate and observant and smart and badass and she wants to love and be loved. Thatās why Artemis Crock is my favorite. Not because sheās with Wally. And even though I enjoy her dynamic with Wally, Artemis would still be Artemis with or without him. Neither character is a half of a whole, theyāre perfectly whole alone and just happen to work well together.
I just donāt like feeling so beholden to shipping, to the point itās all I engage in and it feels like if the couple ends Iām just gonna fucking lose all interest. Blech. Itās something I want to get away from.

just wanted to talk about some of the tropes i'm an absolute slut for so here goes:
anything involving gestures of affection and i mean anything, we're really using broad strokes here. i'm talking hand holding, i'm talking hugs, i'm talking goddamn knowing each other so well that they've just incorporated things into their routines. tending each other's injuries (big sucker on this one especially if it's major injuries and they start getting mushy about how they don't want to lose the other). they could literally be sitting silently in a room but god forbid they look at each other with even just a fraction of fondness and goddamn am i down bad.
hurt/comfort. and angst. but please have a happy ending. unless i'm feeling edgy then we can have unresolved angst. but most of the time angst with a happy ending because going through the angst makes the happy ending all the more sweeter.
anytime they confess something to the other. it doesn't even have to be abt liking the other person, it can literally be any tender moment where they share a conversation anf the world is just them.
and of course fluff. tooth rotting, coma inducing fluff. they just talk about life and cuddle. what more does anybody need?
(side note, but i'm just now realizing that a lot of the tropes i like can also be construed in a platonic way or a queerplatonic way rather than just a straight up romantic way and maybe that's why i like these so much as an aromantic person)

i find this really interesting as someone who is aromantic, and a bit opposed/disinterested in what society claims is friendship. (i wouldn't claim the Aplatonic label for myself though)
My definition of friendship is someone you would drive 40+ minutes for to make sure they hadn't killed or wont kill themselves, people who you had fought tooth and nail to stay in contact with when your parents blocked them and then that friend fought just as hard to stay in contact too. Etc. (These are just personal examples, but it boils down to people who will fight for you and are loyal to you, and you would do the same.)
ANYWAY
This description fits in the sense of how i know i care for a person. Be it a "selfish" care because its my routine to send the person rambles about my writing, or wanting the person to be happy and getting pissed at whatever is ruining that for them. I would be very unstable without human interaction, and especially if torn from contact with my bestie (i will bust your kneecaps if you judge me for using that to refer to them). Bestie is a part of my life's routine, i always text them anything new i make and ramble about it. i wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for them.
As a whole i say "fuck you" to the word Love, because of its societal connotations, but i like this definition of it.
I asked a friend who is a sociopath (diagnosed with ASPD, he refers to himself as a sociopath which is why Iām calling him that) what love feels like to him and how he knows when he loves someone.
I loved his answer. He said āRoutine. If they are a part of my routine and feel familiar and comfortable and I would feel like something is missing if they werenāt there, then I think I love them.ā
I have bpd with ASPD traits and I think his answer was so cute. I think that is what love is like for me too but Iāve never heard it so succinctly explained, perfect summarization.
#tw sui implied#aromantic perspective#actually aspd#aro#being mentally ill and neurodivergent has definitely skewed my views on what i define as friends#but fuck it#friendships shouldn't get sidelined by romance

Hello, don't mind me, I just need to vent for a second.
First off, I just wanna say, as an aroace person on the ace-spectrum, feel free to ship Alastor all you want. Ship him with anyone. Have fun with it. Sex repulsed. Non-sex repulsed. Grey-ace. Demisexual. Pure unadulterated smut. Whatever, have at it. I love that shit.
Just please do it without infantilizing ace-aro people.
The amount of art, fics, and takes I've come across that's so patronizing to Alastor and his sexuality. Thing's like Alastor venting to Rosie about his feelings for a character with the caption "Alastor feeling love for the first time." Or Alastor wanting to have sex with a character and having feelings about that, and someone commenting "That's called a boner, sweetheart. That means you like them š¤"
Like??? Like do ya'll not see how patronizing that sounds? Being ace-aro doesn't mean you don't know your own body. It doesn't mean you don't understand the functions of your body.
It doesn't mean you've never experienced intense emotions. It doesn't mean you've never experienced love before.
And, look, I know these are meant to be jokes. I know. People are joking. I laughed at the first few I came across, too. It's not meant to be harmful or condescending; no one means it that way. But there's been so much with such...bad takes recently, and I don't know about any other ace-spec people (I don't speak for all ace-specs. Hell, there are probably other ace-spec's who don't mind, enjoy it, or are making content like it themselves. I just speak for myself) but GOD it's getting uncomfortable.
Alastor is in his late 30's-early 40's in human years. That is the established age range we have for him. Do you really think that he'd go that long without ever experiencing "love?" He went through puberty just like everyone else, do you think he doesn't understand his own body???
Being asexual, or sex-repulsed, or touch-repulsed doesn't mean you automatically don't explore these parts of yourself. It doesn't mean he's never, once in his life, touched his own dick, or pussy, or whatever genitalia you're giving him. He can still very well be a "virgin" (which in and of itself is a social construct) while also knowing his body and confidently handling any "sexual needs" he has.
Do you really think he doesn't know what a boner is? That in all the years he's been alive and dead (on Earth and in Hell), he wouldn't have experienced these things once? (And you know what? Maybe he hasn't! Perhaps there are ace's out there like that! But you're telling me he doesn't KNOW what that is??? Really???)
Ah, no, it's all because he just hasn't found the right person yet, right? It's not until Lucifer/Angel Dust/Vox, whoever found him, and they gave him these feelings, and oh no, poor Bambi is feeling twitterpated and horny for the first time, isn't that romantic!
Honestly, not really. It just sounds like the same, stupid shit ace-aro people hear from family, friends, and acquaintances about their sexuality. You know, the tried and true: "Oh, you just haven't found the right person yet. You'll want all that eventually, you'll seeš"
Do you not see how frustrating that is?
Look, I am all down for Alastor exploring parts of himself. I want him to navigate different relationships, feel them out, figure out what kind of relationship he wants and what he's okay and not okay with doing. But there are ways to do that without treating him like a little UwU silly baby boy who doesn't know his own body, or his own emotions, or his own relationships with other characters. Like he needs someone to teach him about himself.
How about instead, he finds someone he feels comfortable exploring these elements with? Instead of them "teaching" him how to fuck, or masturbate, or whatever the hell you want to call it, they're giving him the room and safe-space to explore it at his own pace??!!
It comes across as someone who isn't on the ace-spectrum "teaching" an ace-spec character about their own sexuality which puts such a gross taste in my mouth. Or, at least, that's how it comes across to me.
And the thing is, I know people aren't going to stop. I know they're going to keep infantilizing Alastor and his aro-ace identity, and I wasn't originally going to make this post, because you can't control what people do in fandom.
So this is mostly just a post to say: HEY! Hello! Ace-aro person here! I hope you all are having fun and I love that you're exploring Alastor's asexual/aromantic identity! Especially those who may not be in the ace-spectrum themselves, as you're learning about us and our experiences! That's awesome! Can we just do that while also treating Alastor like the adult he is? Can we do that without being infantilizing and patronizing about his sexual identity? Please?"
That's all I really wanted to say. I just needed to get this off my chest instead of letting it fester. This isn't an attack on anyone, this is just the perspective of an Alastor multi-shipper who loves exploring his relationships with other characters (sexually and non-sexually) and deep-diving into the dynamics of the show.
Thanks for reading.
#there are so many different ace-aro's with so many different experiences#im sure they all don't share they same feelings as me#but while I wasnt originally going to post anything cuz i don't want to rock the boat#i came to the realization that HEY! Im ace-aro too! I can't control what people do but I can offer a different perspective#honestly I know the best I can do is block and move on#I just wanted to put this out there#im tired of Alastor being infantalized#I'm tired of asexuality and aromansticm getting infantilized#its grating on me more and more#siigh#thanks for reading anyway#asexual#asexuality#aromantism#aromantic#aroace#acespec#asexual alastor#asexuel#aromanticism#arospec#allastoredeer thoughts#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#the radio demon

Deromanticize holding hands, deromanticize kissing, deromanticize intimacy, deromanticize long-term relationships, deromanticize love.
Normalize platonic intimacy and queerplatonicism. Please.
#text post#soda rambles#hopeless nebula#aromantic#nebularomantic#arospec#queerplatonic#aromantism#aromantic love#this goes for fiction/fandom too. Write more queerplatonicism and have more in-depth perspectives on character relationships.#āthese two characters are close that means theyāre romantically involvedā no be more complicated than that.#also either get normal about queerplatonic ships or come up with a version of the term āshipā for queerplatonic shit#Just. Deconstruct the concept of love itself. Itād be really fuckin awesome.#Also normalize not wanting any of these things at all#thatās also super important#I just donāt want people to get stuck in the mentality of āromantic love or no loveā those are not the only options

As an aspec person who did eventually "find the right person" it didn't suddenly erase my aro-aceness like so many aphobes believe. Being in a happy, loving relationship & feeling genuine sexual attraction for the first time in my life has done nothing to change how I feel alienated from the majority of the world, the panic spirals about not being "allo enough", the constant confusion at how love & sex focused allos can be. If anything, having a proper basis for romantic & sexual attraction has made me MORE aspec, not less. I finally feel confident in actually using these labels for myself. Aromantism & Asexuality aren't something that can be """fixed""". It'll always part of a person even if they don't seem it from the outside.
#aromantic#acesexual#demiromantic#grey ace#arospec#acespec#aspec#aroace#Ive never posted about my aroace experience before so hopefully those tags suffice#Just thinking about how annoying the youll find someone phrase is even from the perspective of someone who does experience a teeny bit#of attraction like once every few years

It's rly annoying seeing people try to describe QPRs in a detailed way that will make sense to everyone. Like, I'll see people explain it as this intense commitment and I'll even see people say that it's prioritized over all other relationships (and that totally may be true for some and that's totally fine!!)
BUT THAT JUST ISN'T TRUE FOR EVERY PERSON'S VIEW OF A QPR. A queer-platonic relationship can be a deeply personal and different thing from individual to individual
As an aromantic with no connection to romantic attraction whatsoever a QPR is just any relationship that is outside of what is considered societally "normal". Ffs, I'd consider a noncommittal friends with benefits relationship to be a qpr for me.
Also, the whole idea of a specific relationship label making that relationship take priority just feels like repackaged amatonormativity. How about we not put relationships on a generic societal pedestal maybe? Each individual will decide for themselves what is most emotionally important to them and I think trying to explain QPRs to people as if they're romance-lite isn't the best way to go about it.
I truly think that pushing "you don't have to understand something to respect it" is soo much more important and useful for our community than making people understand every aspect of an identity
#im open to other perspectives on this#but i have seen it done multiple times it just kinda finally clicked why i didnt like that method of explanation this time#this is just my initial reaction to seeing someone try to explain a qpr and thinking the way they did it was odd#aromantic#arospec#aro#aroallo#amatonormativity#queerplatonic#qpr#queerplatonic relationship

platonic and romantic are not some sort of binary that relationships have to be divided into. theyāre not even two ends of a linear spectrum. theyāre fully just abstract concepts made up of culturally-dependant social behaviour and expectations that are continually forced upon people to reinforce religious, legal, and broader societal/cultural norms, often and repeatedly to the detriment of non-normative groups including, but not limited to, the queer community. and I am sick and tired of those norms being replicated in fucking fandom discourse, of all places
#this is coming from an aroace person#who is not only v autistic which is undoubtedly a contributing factor to this#but I also literally study queerness for a living#idk I saw a post trying to put some superiority onto emphasising platonic relationships over romantic ones#and thatās great!#it definitely counteracts the alloromantic norm!#but god I wish we could move past the concepts entirely#I understand all abstract terms and what have you are literally there to communicate these things#but idk idk#as someone who has to navigate this bs every time I have a close relationship with a non-relative Iām so tired of it#like even in self defined qprs sometimes romance and sex happen!!!! that does not mean it isnāt a qpr/ isnāt platonic !!!!!#why is it if youāre best friends with your romantic partner you have to refer to them using the romantic terms of not alloromanticism#on the same vein expecting aromantic ppl to never want or enjoy any acts or behaviour called āromantic is such bs#like what is romance ? what actions are romantic that cannot also be platonic?#why differentiate relationships so strictly if not for religious/legal/etc regulations and norms#is this perspective called something#thereās no way Iām the only person to have this pov#like is this relationship anarchy ? idek if thatās a term but itās what comes to mind#aromantism#aroace#aro pride#arospec#qpr#qpr concepts#relationship anarchy

Being aroace and liking a character design that everyone simps for is so funny sometimes. You like that guy because you think theyāre hot. I like that guy because I think their character design is appealing and conveys their personality well. We are not the same.

'local' aroace guy finds out that ge doesnt like recieving physical touch unless he initiates it
meanwhile 'local' autistic guy finds out that more than two displays of physical touch from another human is too overwhelming for an entire week
each man looks into the mirror beside them and realize they are the same person (me)
#yesterday one of my friends started to be affectionate w/ me#it was okay and then it was almost constant and it overwhelmed me lol#it also put into perspective the kind of touch i prefer#(with consent) i hug you#but you cant hug me (unless i do it first)#probably a mix of my autism and aroace identity#or bc i dont like when other men are close to me like that#idk#aroace#autistic things#touch aversion#??#asexual#aromantic#tav rants

any thoughts/opinions on vikdecai?
i donāt believe i have any complex thoughts that havenāt already been said by the community at large! mostly my opinions just correlate to a very fond i like them, since mordecai kneecapping viktor in order to save himself from having to hurt him later is really one of the first things that humanizes his character. makes you realize heās not nearly as cold or practical as he tries leading you to believe -- a front that unravels further given his atlas obsession. and i like that! my favorite thing about mordecai is his subtle longing for the lackadaisy crew, how much he doesnāt wish to hurt them, and how venomously he loathes his current life ā¦ what heās doing now isnāt what he wants to currently be doing, but merely what must be done for his goal, one which is already layered in lackadaisy sentiment. so his bond with viktor is important to me, given how much it highlights this inner struggle and earnest truth within his character. but then again, this can also be applied to mordecaiās relationship with mitzi, atlas, and ivy, so let me discuss them in a more romantic sense. which iām sure is what this question is trying to get at!
romantically, i view mordecai and viktorās dynamic as ā¦ favorable? itās entirely plausible there were feelings there, an intimacy only they shared as men inside atlasā arsenal, people who were entirely knowledgeable of the lackadaisyās nasty underbelly. itās their slaughter of people deserving and of many, many innocents that help their bossās speakeasy run, and this violence ( this constant watching one anotherās back ) would only breed closeness in spite of the horror itās built on. and, of course, they have core things in common outside of their job and efficiency for bloodsport! like their love for family, their devotion towards those who matter most, and how out of place they equally feel on this soil - - in this world and era, where everything feels like itās out to get them in some way or another. their ability to connect beyond their surface level traits and quirks ( mordecai and viktor are very much opposites on their surface, and they have a habit of bickering about these differences, albeit lightheartedly ) demonstrates the profoundness of what they have and what theyād do to protect it. they care for one another in little gestures, insignificant to most but in a way that truly matters to them ā¦ as they can see the genuineness in it, since theyāre putting themselves into the careful actions and arenāt just doing things for politeness sake. for example, mordecai tries adorning them in matching cloth so theyāre two equal halves, symmetrical, and then we have viktor who pocketed mordecaiās glasses to give him later when they were done with their mission. i like to imagine there are more things like this in their relationship! stuff that isnāt as severe as life or death, like saving your friendās skin by a mere inch or dragging each other to a finish line every day. any of atlasā men can offer that. itās the extra things, done out of agency and personal desire, that bring them closer than any other regular joe on atlasā payroll. itās rather clear that they were close canonically, and that viktor was perhaps mordecaiās closest friend in a way that atlas could never be due to the pedestal he was constantly put upon. and while we have less insight on viktorās feelings, iād imagine the betrayal has never, and will never, fully heal. it is not a wound he can easily patch up, and it isnāt something one could just forget either. how can you dismiss someone who used to be your hands and eyes and ears? when you two functioned as another manās extra body in your entirety? you may as well have shared a mind when out on the field, and thatās a closeness and a trust which is hard to lose. viktor hardly lets anyone in as is, just as anti social as his spectacles wearing companion, so to lose that in such a violent was is an unspeakable pain he bears, iām sure. mordecai took whatever remained of his life from him with that shot. heās permanently robbed viktor the ability to defend the last few hairs he cares to protect. his purpose is now up in the air. and all this anguish from someone he completely and utterly believed in ā¦ there is a lot of hurt, is what iām saying. a hurt thatās too deep and life altering for it not to be supremely personal too. itās deep and festering and viktor ignores it, and mordecai ignores it, mostly, but sometimes his paw strays near his wound and he itches at it, and it reopens the ache all over again. there is metaphor to be found there! an abandonment and a departure that leaves you bloodied from maiming or being maimed. it is very easily a multi-layered sentiment!
however, i could still take this or leave it romantically, hence my earlier statement of favorabe rather than unabashed gushing and swooning. this is a ship i like, but i donāt read mordecai as crushing on viktor per se? iāve always viewed his extreme relationship with atlas as puppy love thatās half bred from devotion, something not entirely genuine but also still genuine enough, which makes for a nice parallel between that and rockyās bond with mitzi. his rivalry with atlasā wife and his oddities such as wearing his bossās shirts read as girlish crush behavior, typical things one does when believing themselves enamored, you know? naturally his views and feelings for atlas arenāt quite that simple nor easy to parse, and iām not trying to simplify them in any way! i just believe he had a torch for atlas, and thus didnāt carry another for anyone else, at least not as intensely. whatever feelings he might have for someone would always be second to atlas, who was his very reason for living and breathing every day, who was his answer and justification and eventually? his obsession. in many ways i think mordecai was too wrapped up in atlas to properly develop feelings for viktor, even if there were inklings of something inside of him. ironically, the term something is what i love using when thinking about him with viktor or mitzi. mordecai is something with those two, he feels something, an unlabeled sort of thing he canāt really reach -- perhaps he doesnāt even want to, scared of what it might mean, what it could say. and it is different somethings! they are not the same feeling, what he feels towards those two, but itās not fully known to him in the way that his feelings towards atlas was. it is not as clear! especially now, with things as awful as they are and with mordecai so full of turmoil heās forcing himself to not share. he also has an intense aversion to emotions, obviously, which doesnāt help matters lol. this man could find some of the closure heās so desperately seeking if he took more than a glance inside of himself, but then he wouldnāt be apart of this tragic tale, now would he?
still, in a better world where the lackadaisyās gaggle of traumatized characters are allowed healing without any casualties or major losses, then iād enjoy seeing a viktor and mordecai slowburn. where they decide to remain steadfast by each otherās side like once upon a time before, and they deal with life as a unit. maybe when given the space for it, mordecaiās affection can finally cement into real love for viktor -- the romantic kind, something sappy and disarming and maddening all at once. maybe viktor will allow such indulgences, finally able to touch upon his heart again and use it in a way that he hasnāt gotten to in a couple ages. or maybe he wonāt share the specific feelings that mordecai possesses for him, but heāll enjoy creating an entirely new thing thatās only for them : he can compromise and he can bend if mordecai is willing to bend just the same. they certainly wouldnāt be your typical couple, their emotions too stunted for regular dates or typical pda, but thereās something more special and intimate to them carving out their own space, and thus having their own secret world. a mix of platonic and romantic affections, a healthy dose of selfishness and desire they couldnāt ever have before but now can hoard so entirely, in small bearable doses. and there will always be some things they both wonāt ever be able to shake ( mordecai disabling viktor, atlas, viktorās daughter, etc ), although they could manage these aches and guilt better together, which is the exact sort of happy ending iād want for them. if i may be so indulgent myself haha ( <- person who knows lackadaisyās ending will be mostly dark and tragic but likes playing around with hopeful scenarios and what-ifās regardless! )
#my asks.#lackadaisy analysis.#lackadaisy#vikdecai#iām still figuring out my opinions on things! still analyzing text and trying to figure out my own perspective ā¦#so i hope this isnāt too wishy washy or incoherent!!#basically. tldr : i think their bond is so important and i could see mordecai letting his fondness become more#and i love them so bad <333 idc if itās friendship or gay or whatever iām obsessed with them#let it also be known that iām a asexual mordecai truther#but i do think he likes men. like i donāt think heās aromantic ā¦ just asexual ā¦#anyway!! thank you sm for this ask!!! i love asks so i was very eager to answer this haha#hope this was okay!!!#( also i highly recommend the midnight special by shutterbird on ao3 btw!#wonderful read of mordecai and viktorās relationship#and is one of the rare fics iām using as a way to flesh out the characters and their relationships#so. a lot of my views probably allign with that fantastic read!! )#i also feel like i want to say more on this topic but for now thisāll do!
