CA$H PIGGOTT.

I need to talk about Cash Piggott and how important his character is to the asexual community.

I absolutely adore the fact that Cash calls people out on their acephobia and never, ever apologises for who he is. He doesn't think he's broken.

In season one, we see Darren say "you know what, I think there's something really fucking wrong with you, Cash," and Cash immediately, with no hesitation, screams "well fuck you then".

In season two, we see Dusty say that he's being selfish asking Darren to give up sex and he immediately stands up and says "fuck this" because he knows he doesn't have to listen to people making him feel bad about his sexuality.

And when he's talking to his nan about it, Cash says "it's not fair, I would do anything, why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"

In every single one of these scenes, we never see Heartbreak High blame Cash for his sexuality. We never see him apologise to anyone for not feeling sexual attraction, and we never see him feel guilty about it, or try to change who he is.

CA$H recognises that his sexuality might be difficult for people to accept and understand, but he never lets other people make him feel like he's broken, or flawed. And that's so powerful to see.

Because asexual people are not broken. And we can't be fixed. And we are not being selfish for putting in boundaries.

I absolutely adore Douglas Piggott. He means the world to me, and this representation is so, so important.

Black asexuals of tumblr (from the UK and Ireland), I need you...

to fill out a questionnaire about asexual tv/media representations, what you think about them, and what they could be doing better. Almost all questions are optional, so you can come and say as little or as much as you'd like!

Please help a fellow ace out, and help me make this research not be just another look at white asexuals...

Go to https://tinyurl.com/acetvquestions or the link in my bio

Please share, even if you don't wanna do the questionnaire, many thanks!

EDIT: this questionnaire is now closed!

I am so happy that most of us have the same headcanons

(Zoro is either Ace, Gay, or both)(I like the headcanon that says that Zoro using 🗡️🗡️🗡️ makes him Pan but I don't feel I fits Zoro)

It's Ace Awareness Week!!!

Jon is on the surface the stereotypical ace character- completley depraved of humanity, cold towards everyone around him and too busy for relationships, but through the story we watch him grow as a person, struggle with his own humanity and his disconnection with people around him. We see not just that he cares, but that he loves all those people around him and that he latches onto them till the very end.

I'm not that good at putting my thoughts into words, but I belive it goes without saying that, to me, as an ace person myself, who has struggled for so long with my own humanity purely because I've never seen a character like Jon, and to many other ace people, having a character like this, in somewhat-popular media, who has the same struggles as many asexual people (though ours don't feature the Eldritch horror, I hope), is SO important and so humanizing.

I don't know if Jonny Sims knew what impact making a main character of a horror podcast asexual would have on ace listeners - he probably didn't. But I hope that he found out.

Representation matters, you are not alone and stay safe.

Sorry for the rant,

Happy Asexual Awerness Week!

I love Kao on every single level. I adore him. I don't know him but he can officially Do No Wrong. I have pledged undying love and loyalty to this character.

I love him even more. Asexual and eyebrow representation! A+ a hero for the ages. And in purple! @absolutebl GMMTV might not be doing endings but they are doing representation.

alastor hartfelt x gn! reader IMAGE

I just absolutely love writing some fluff with our aroace king. So I really hope you enjoy this little image for him ^^

summary: dancing with Alastor is something not everyone can say they have done before.

The first time Alastor asked you to dance, it was a shock to be sure.

You weren't the best when it came to dancing, but Alastor was patient and waited for you to be comfortable in the position you'd dance in.

It was fun to say the least, even if you had accidentally stepped on his feet on more than one occasion. He wouldn't be mad, but would limp a little after the session.

Alastor always found it endearing how much you would try to learn the dances he would show you, and would try your hardest to not step on his feet. The latter part was harder said than done.

Sometimes, if he was in a good mood, he would cuddle up to you when you're dancing, with his head in your shoulder and arms wrapped around your shoulders.

He would never admit it, but these dancing sessions would remind him of his mother. You remind him of her, with how much you care for him and how much you show your love to him.

You had always seen Alastor as a son figure, he reminded you of when you were human and how much you wanted a child. You did get what you wanted, but it was in Hell that you felt you found the family you've always wanted.

Alastor thought it was sweet, that whenever he was down or showing signs of being aggressive, you'd always be there for him, and have always calmed him down, but would always respect his wishes to be left alone if he feels he's gonna snap.

The dances you and Alastor share, are memories the two of you would hold dear to each other for as long as you possibly can.

It's short, I know, but it's cute. Alastor has another parental figure (head cannon Rosie to be like a mother to Alastor).

Ps au ref!!!!! :DDDDD

This is an au I’ve been evolving for a while called the Personality Swap au! It’s kind of like a flip au except certain characters swap personality with other characters! In this case, Sun and Eclipse have swapped personalities, leading to a grumpy/feral Sun and a happy/nervous Eclipse.

The au also has major plot points changed, instead of Sun and Moon being the og daycare attendants, now it’s Moon and Earth! Sun is the other sibling who comes in later, having been thrown out in favor of Earth. Other characters come into the story in slightly altered ways as well.

I would like to note, I am not physically disabled. I’ve done some research but I’m still not familiar with all the things that are okay and not okay to portray. If I make a mistake I sincerely apologize, please politely let me know and I will try my hardest not to repeat it. Thank you for your patience!

Sun (here), Moon, Earth, Monty (wip), Killcode, Eclipse, Lunar, Solar? (wip), ??? (wip), Ruin (wip), Gemini (wip)

It begins with a benign comment during a night in watching a show with his lovely boyfriend, Louis, and leads Harry to a months long journey to understand himself better. Will Harry figure out what makes him feel so different from everyone else? And will he find the courage to tell his boyfriend? Or a character study into Ace Harry with the most supportive boyfriend, Louis.

Rule nr 1) Make sure your partner is ok Rule nr 2) Is said partner ok - it is allowed to tease them to the heavens for their own dumb decisions.

His shirt says 'feel the fear and do it anyway' and I love him so much it breaks my heart. Just look at him! He's trying so hard to explain himself. Best boy ever, Kao, deserves all the love and support.
