#aromantic spec hc

[zerochars]

I have never seen something and genuinely almost thrown up because of it but the zuko and katara ship in the OFFICIAL ATLA chibi shorts just did that to me

I don't see their personalities lining up! I'm only halfway through with Book two so obviously the characters haven't really interacted much but.. not katara.

Also I hc zuko as on the aromantic spectrum so maybe I'm projecting but.. yk

Seriously though. "Katara! My heart burns for you!" in Zuko's voice scares me

I don’t think you guys UNDERTSNAD how important Edwin and Charles’ relationship is to me as an aroace person. THAT is what I want from a relationship. Something such an obvious mix of romantic and platonic and I-don’t-even-know that all the lines blur bc the only important thing is that you love them like you’ve loved nothing else and are so devoted that you would do nothing else but love and protect and cherish them for all your worth. isn’t it the love that matters more than what type of love it is? why do their labels need to be so cut and dry? why does it need to be anything more? why can’t they just be? why can’t they love each other how they want to love each other? why do they need to be anything else?

Aromantic Aether (Genshin Impact) Icons, Requested By @/celestialreflections

Notes; omg my first time making pride icons real.. im soso sorry these all vary in style I was just trying to figure out how to make these look good without being too "aggressive" or not aggressive enough w the pride.. so there's some very simplistic ones, some more complex ones and some pngs for the sillies cuz I felt like it :D This is already getting long but uhm! Hopefully these look good enough that people will keep requesting em because these were super fun to make.

reblog + credit if you use!

htf headcanons list, bitte 🦌

I'm just curious and wanna hear more about your takes on them

OH I HAVE SOME!

I drew some of them but theres some that i will put below and others that are more domestic stuff or characters relations yk that i might just make other fanarts showing It >:D

- I really like to HC Handy as a trans woman even tho i mostly HC Handy as a trans man depends on the day!

- HC Mime as ace because his colors always remind me of the ace flag

- I HC sniffles as aroace that goes "actually 🤓☝️" and reather prefers THE KNOWLAGE out of that romance

- I HC Shifty as a trans guy too!

- I HC that Toothy is gay idk he just gives gay vibes

- HC that Petunia, Handy and Cuddles are bi!

- Lammy is a Lesbian

- Truffles is totally Aroace 👍

- Giggles is Pan so is Flippy :D

-Flaky is Non Binary they dont really care for pronouns they go by They/She/He

- i can see the Mole being on the ace spec

- i see Splendid as Aromantic! He has very aro vibes for me

-Nutty... Its something... I think he wouldn't label himself neither for gender or sexuality he would just go "candy."

- Lumpy is queer but idk what spectrum he would be maybe Aroace or Pan but cant decide It

- Pop and Disco Bear are kinda funny for me because i see them as like Bi4Bi and If Disco Bear is taking care of Cub It would be like this:

I can totally see It that way

i love just randomly making characters asexual. (my sexuality hc’s for characters change pretty much every time i think about them)

so obviously there’s ace evan rosier, hes always ace in my head, thats i think the only character im consistent w their sexuality. then ace or demi sirius? but no one knows or thinks about it bc theyre always flirting and stuff (or being nice and it being perceived as flirting, which i actually like the idea of more) aroace regulus?? my love?? in a qpr w either james or lily or both?? he has my heart.

then, different fandom: obviously we have demi neil josten, love him, great demi rep. i just saw a post about ace aaron so yes, that. aroace kevin?? yes yes yes. also renee. i hc her as ace or demi too.

feel free to add more asexual spectrum/aromantic spec characters / characters you hc as aro and/or ace :))

[mirrorcatcreditcard]

If I'm getting bashed someday, I might as well die on a hill of supporting my community, so hear my truth:

Till gives me the impression of being on the aromantic spectrum.

If you're going to say something about his feelings as an excuse for why he cannot be, I'd like to point out that he idolized Mizi because of what she meant to him and cared for Ivan for sticking by his side (but came off as awkwardly with both of them as he did everyone else). I think all the reactions that he has can be put under the aro umbrella respectfully. And if you want an essay, I don't have one for you. I don't think that I need one to share a headcanon. I think the point of a headcanon sometimes is to put on the hc goggles, rewatch your favorite media with those goggles, and enjoy.

Anygays, y'all have fun with how you wanna see him. I will always write my boy as aro-spec. 💚🩶🤍🖤

[mothman-can-write]

heya! i also saw your tag about aro maria and ace natasha. i'm very fascinated about that. what's some of your takes on that dynamic? i've personally leaned towards ace/aspec, but it's always interesting to me when someone who identifies along there but more into sex or adverse to romance. just shows how diverse that spectrum is!

This is such a fun question and I'm going to preface it by saying these HCs are purely based on vibes and my own projection as someone on the aroace spec. I like to play around with their sexualities a lot bc it makes for interesting dynamics, but I'll stick to my thoughts about them being aspec for now haha. I can't promise this will be coherent and make sense but I'll try my best!

This got pretty long, so I'll put the rest of this essay under the cut:

A lot of my opinions of marvel characters are influenced by the comics, especially for Maria since we were given so little of her in the MCU. She has an interesting vibe to her that just... sort of screams being entirely uninterested in anything romantic. She's a very private person anyway, but never expresses interest in wanting romance, but she still wants so desperately to keep those she cares about safe. It's not that she doesn't care, because she does, a WHOLE lot. She just cares about everyone in a very platonic, dutiful way. And yet, somehow, she gives off the biggest lesbian vibes in the world. Therefore, aromantic lesbian. It also somehow just makes sense to me that casual physical relationships would be easier for her to keep as a crucial member of an international secret organisation. Outside of her own team who is she going to date? She goes to a nice bar and she drinks a scotch and she waits for the nearest femme to take her home only to disappear in the middle of the night. Satisfy some urges, and prove to herself that she isn't an evil monster to the naked eye, two birds one stone. There's no real evidence to her having any sexual relationships (that i can think of anyway) but the vibes just sort of work to me, or at least that she would have them. Sometimes i think she's too much of a loser to ever actually go home with anyone. So, in that respect, I can also see her as being aroace too. She just generally has more important things to worry about and isn't necessarily interested in things she deems so personal and unimportant.

I wish I could beam the vibes in my head directly to you because I'm doing a terrible job of explaining them with words, but generally Maria comes off as a very cold character who actually cares very deeply about those around her and that can hit home for a lot of aspec misconceptions and stereotypes. As far as I know, she's never been in a relationship either, which for marvel comics is practically an olympic feat. In one comic she says Natasha is the person she trusts most in the world because shes lonely too, and that shes the only person that scares her. what is that if not lesbianism aspec solidarity

As for Natasha, well we all know what her past is like, and I don't think it's a stretch to say that she might have some trauma around it. But honestly I just like to think she would always be asexual bc it's fun. She's really the character I have less evidence for, but I'm a sucker for the trope of a character who is sexualised by everyone around her actually being a big softy who would rather cuddle. That woman could count on her hands how many times she's been hugged in her life, I think she'd truly get the most out of a relationship where she is shown innocent affection. She's been treated as a physical asset her entire life and I think she deserves to be wined and dined outside of that. Maybe its just me trying to break her free and projecting at the same time but let that woman be the little spoon.

IDK man, she just gives me vibes. She's a cutie. She's a hopeless romantic thrown into a world of people that think she's hot. She's been forced to live up to a role that feels like an act, and is only able to play it so well because none of it has felt real from the start. Sexuality has always been a game, and she's so good at playing because she's always been outside of it. The second someone shows her genuine romance she doesn't know what to do with herself. She likes to give people flowers.

In terms of dynamics together, I don't actually tend to mix them together in this way, I usually pick one or the other because the fic is focussed on them having a functional relationship. I do, however, think Maria would be very accomodating of Natasha if they were in a relationship with this specific dynamic, because as characters they have a very similar need of wanting to be loved for who they are as a person. And to Maria any sexual drive is always going to be second to a real human connection for the first time in her life.

Honestly, the dynamic should be great for angst but I can't find a way to make it work because theyre very similar characters to me. Even if Natasha needs someone to love her whole heartedly for herself, someone to love her innocently outside of her body, Maria is still going to give that to her. It might not be romantically, but she is desperate for human connection anyway. The worst I can think of is that Maria becomes frustrated with the fact that Natasha wants more from her, whilst not being able to tell her the full extent of her own attraction, so theyre both stuck at a bit of a stalemate. Suffering in silence through their friendship because they both want something the other isnt able to give and both of them are too soft hearted to ever force it

I think that's about all that I've got in the tank right now, so I hope that answered some of the curiosities you had! Let me know if you have any more specific questions, because i'm always happy to talk about them :)
