When any character gives Arospec vibes:

[starkidsupremacy]

Character: I don't really want a relationship!

Me *already writing fanfiction*: ohohohohohohohoh

my addams family obsessed ass who has headcanoned wednesday as aro since i was a child sadly watching every single adaptation of the addams family be her falling in love and rebelling against the family

[writerswho]

I saw someone saying Wednesday has hetcomp and just wanted to slam someone.

First, tired of people using that shit created by a transphobic when heteronormativity exists. Second, Wednesday's case is allonormativity and mononormativity.

From the beginning, Wednesday hasn't been interested in either boy, but everyone keeps pushing her in their direction, not only that, but they keep telling her she has to pick one and try to be normal. At no point does it cross anyone's mind that Wednesday just isn't interested in romance, they think it's just her lack of interest in people in general, which it isn't.

The fact that Wednesday has trouble showing and interpreting emotions helps to force her to try because everyone thinks that's what she has to do, and even though she's rebellious, she still does various things just because people expect it of her [most of the time they're criminal things, but still].

So, she goes out with Tyler because everyone says that's the normal thing to do, even if she doesn't care about him or anyone that way.

Ah, the mononormativity is because the whole narrative revolves around choosing one, and at no point they thought it's possible to choose both.

I am so right about this

[d3ad-squid]

Every single fucking time… can’t you allos just be happy with what you’ve got????

[vaguelyaperson]

yes. yes yes yes. "It should canonically mean something." Especially if it's someone who has every reason to want to fall in love (never been brokenhearted, has healthily married parents, ect), but they're still disinterested. Even if something changes and they do experience attraction. Even if all it means is that the character is acearo-spec, they're still on the spectrum.

A character saying they will never fall in love is the aro equivalent of someone saying they are not attracted to the opposite gender. It should canonically mean something, the only reason it doesn’t is because so often such sentiments are only expressed for characters to “grow out of”

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

I’m going to start QPRing/non-shipping ships, and not just any ships, but the ships everyone “agrees” on.

Merlin and Arthur - QPR hardcore, kissing is okay, sex not so much, committed

Sirius and Remus - not romantically together, both aro coded HARD sex is 100% on the table, they’re committed but also just vibin no romo yes homo

Buck and Eddie - QPR. No notes

Enid and Wednesday - honestly Wednesday was always repulsed aroace coded to me, so maybe QPR but more friends who have a closer relationship

I have more I’m just tired but everyone add their own!!

[super-ace]

Never felt so seen 🖤 Wednesday is aroace in my eyes and I will not be taking any questions at this time

[floralcavern]

Wednesday is on the aroace spectrum and is attracted to rays of sunshine that she meets in places that she really doesn’t want to be at

(Although Joel is more of a slightly cloudy day with a little sun poking through)

[aretheyqueer]

Is she aroace?

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS FROM WEDNESDAY

Justification: “Girl doesnt like romance, its one of the 1st characteristics we're shown, yet she ends up in a love triangle?? And she dislikes both of the guys, mind you, only cares about the mystery happening, yet??? She kisses one of them??? She definitely shouldve been aro, it wouldve saved not only her character, but the whole series.”

[starkidsupremacy]

Hot take

When characters say they don't want a romantic relationship, we should stop treating it as a character flaw that they need to overcome by the end if their arc.

[audhdnight]

I’m watching Wednesday (yes I know I’m late to the party shut up) and I just have one question - why the fuck are we doing this god awful love triangle bullshit???

I mean I strongly dislike love triangles at the best of times because they’re never good and never poly, but I mean come on. Like we have:

Guy A, who is super weirdly paternalistic towards Wednesday and gets really mad when she doesn’t listen to him telling her to stay away from someone (because why would she?? she literally doesn’t know you dude???) and is also overly jealous for no god damn reason (again YOU TWO DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER????)

Guy B, who I actually liked as a character and as a friend for Wednesday until out of the blue he was mad that she was going to a dance with someone else because he “thought they liked each other” and “felt like she was giving him all these signals” which I did not see at all so I have no idea where he got that from???

Then there’s Enid who I know people ship Wednesday with, but who I still think would be better off as friends, though I have to admit they do actually have some modicum of chemistry, unlike the above mentioned guys who she has NO chemistry with whatsoever.

I mean why can’t she just be aro? Like the show starts off with Wednesday insisting she will not be anything like her mother, and I know that’s partially just to establish their conflict and Wednesday wanting to be her own person instead of a carbon copy of her parents, she specifically says she does not want to be part of a whirlwind romance or to become a housewife or mother. Like when are we ever going to let girls just not be interested in those things? When is a girl’s declaration of desire for something different in her life ever going to be taken seriously instead of a base point for her to “learn” and “grow” and accept that actually she does want those things because of course she does, every woman does.

Maybe it’s not that deep but god damn I’m so sick of this trope. Just let her be uninterested in romance instead of forcing her to conform.

Five characters I will defend as AroAce until my dying breath

5. Alastor

It's canon. But he's my least favorite because he eats people. :(

4. Wednesday Addams

The multiple versions of her make it harder to confidently say, but she is. That doesn't mean she isn't willing to have a relationship.

3. Daryl Dixon

I only watched a few seasons before giving up, but I swear the vibes are there. He's aroace and unbothered.

2. Bakugo Katsuki

Putting him at two would send him spiraling into a rage. But also he just is. I get no real sexual vibe. Just unchecked aggression.

1. Katniss Everdeen

I'm sorry, but the first-person POV in the books is so telling. I firmly believe she was content to be in a relationship, but she had no real drive for sex or romance. But she gave Peeta what she didn't mind to give. And he took what she was willing to give.

Wednesday Addams is aroace

Wednesday is such an aroace icon
