#asexuality headcanon

[omegaverse-seeker]

you're like, the go to omegaverse blog, so i was wondering if you had any ideas on how asexuality/aromanticism would present itself in the omegaverse, definitely something i've spent sleepless nights pondering

As a confused ace, I think it varies.

There can be people with heats/ruts but don't feel the need to share it with another person. Maybe they want someone to be there but not do anything sexual. They could actually have sex. Who knowssss.

They might not be driven by their instincts like other people are. It doesn't take away the fact that they are an Alpha, Beta, or Omega or female, male, or trans. They just are.

I would think, like irl, there are just people who are like "you just haven't met the right person" or "when you have sex, you'll change your mind". Sure, maybe that is applicable to some people but that still doesn't erase their ace identity and who they are attracted to.

So I hope this helps!

Ace in the hole...

i even came up with the context: it's 80s or early 90s, one of the overlords organised party for other overlords

Rosie just slays in blue i tell you. but she's still doesn't quite understands what's Alastor's deal (and is trying to rizz him last 40 years) (he's dodging it very well)

i'm gonna make little follow-up comic for this!!!! stay tuned

Alastor is trying to apologise: |part 1| - |Part 2| - |Part 3 (soon)| - |???|

Rosie's revenge

p.s oh no they are just like that other couple of my toh oc........ but platonic........ oh.

To me, Alastor AND Rosie are aromantic. They are just on complete opposite spectrums

Rosie: romance-favourable. She lives for the tea. She wants to hear all about how the fourth husband treats you so much better than the first and especially better than the second husband.

Alastor: romance-repulsed. Wishes to be anywhere else when relationships are discussed, or to dissociate right then and there. He has to keep it together and use willpower on 1000% capacity so to not kill anyone when someone flirts with him or even implies something. He took Charlie to Rosie partially so he wouldn't have to hear her ranting about her relationship problems anymore.

I strongly believe it's acephobic to bend ace characters into being allo, whether its a headcanon or fanfic. Whatever the case is, it's still erasure. People seem to be more willing to slide past it bc they don't treat asexuality seriously.

Translation: Junior, I have told you several times that Lily prefers to be single, remember?

Lily is the new aroace icon. That's all.

people will never understand regulus black the way i understand regulus black.

he hates flashing lights bc they make him feel like he’s having a seizure.

he hates loud noises but still has music up as loud as it goes.

he hates PDA but the second he’s alone with barty or evan or pandora or james he’ll make sure he’s as close to them as possible

his gay awakening was remus lupin and he cried bc he thought sirius would kill him (sirius never found out)

he spent his entire life being pushed away so his immediate instinct in the lake was to grab onto one of the hands because finally someone was pulling him in

he’s not an idiot. he knew what he was doing. he climbed into that lake willingly. he left his shoes and tie in his dorm because they could be used for someone else.

he loved pink and dresses/lace/ribbons but knew that he couldn’t because nobody would see him as a real boy.

barty and evan stole bandages from the medical wing so he could bind.

he spent A LOT of time sat on his bedroom floor in dark silence

he cried at films that weren’t sad.

he wouldn’t talk to anyone he didn’t know properly or didn’t trust so at family events he’d have to whisper to sirius or his cousins and they’d talk for him (for a week after his first argument with walburga sirius had to talk to her for him)

he didn’t want to die he just wanted a different life.

he tried everything to keep his family together

(modern) he never blocks people, he didn’t block sirius or james or evan or anyone just in case they ever needed help so he could be there.

he used to find cool rocks to give to sirius and when james took him to the beach he gave him all the best shells

when he jumped in that lake he imagined being pushed because it made it easier

the last thing he thought about was his socks getting wet

he wanted someone to find him he didn’t want to be alone in death, he didn’t want to be a mystery

he was sex repulsed.

It’s incredibly telling how the characters that are more wildly headcanoned to be ace, by allos as well as aces, are almost always the non conventionally attractive ones

Like yeah we’ll let this one be ace because we don’t want to bang them anyway.

This hot one though? With the gorgeous eyes and flowing hair? Couldn’t possibly be ace. No way in hell. Because then we’d feel guilty about wanting to bang them.

And yes, of course people can headcanon whatever they want, but after a certain point the “asexuality when convenient for them” of it all feels offensive.

And then when we headcanon a character as ace who is considered hot, people are so quick to jump in with the “ummm actually…”s because they don’t like it when you bring up the possibility of someone they’re attracted to being ace. It’s a headcanon. People have their own opinions. Shhhh.

Hot people can be asexual. People are not just asexual at your convenience. People are not just asexual because nobody wants them. Someone else finish this thought

[lemoncakedoodles]

I think it would be hilarious if Alastor had a habit of saying things like “I swear to Lucifer.” Or “Oh my Lucifer!” Before him and Luci even met, so when they do meet it’s like:

Alastor: Oh my Lucifer!-

Lucifer: Oh your what.

Alastor: Nothing.

Lucifer: I’m your what.

Alastor: Nothing.

Lucifer: Do you want me to be yours, bellhop.

Alastor: Go away.

if you see a male character kiss a male character, you assume they are gay.

if you see a female character kiss a female character, you assume they are a lesbian.

if you hear a character say they don't feel like their gender, you assume they are trans.

so why do a-spec characters have to jump through so many loops?

a character saying they've never had a crush or don't want a relationship or that they don't understand romantic love is so often ignored or used as fodder for other queer or autistic headcanons (reinforcing stereotypes that aroace people are secretly gay or always autistic)

why is it that our stories are always "up to interpretation"? why do we have to wait for the words aromantic or asexual to be said to be taken seriously? why is it that even when characters say they don't want relationships, fans will scream and cry about sex/romance favourable aspecs and qprs?

when it comes to gay and trans characters, even the likes of bisexual lighting is often treated as though it canonises their sexuality. for aroace characters, even the most explicit coding possible is swept under the rug in favour of other "interpretations"

i'm so tired of fighting for representation just to have it ignored and minimised by fans. let characters be aroace. please.

Asexual Jason Todd is actually the secret weapon of Batman.

Let me explain.

Every major female foes of the Bat used their sex appeal at one moment to distract the police, Arkham guards...

But, imagine Ivy increasing again and again and again the power of her pollen and Red Hood does not react. Maybe sneezing.

Circea trying to play whith his mind and

"Wtf are you doing ? Stop moving your hands like that."

Every teen heros getting caught lurking on Kori or Power Girl and he doesn't understand why those idiots can't start the meeting. Wtf does "My eyes are here" even mean.

Evil foreigner billionaire sending a spy to seduce the oldest boy in the family still in Gotham to steal informations on WayneTech and after a party of dancing and talking, with innuendos bigger than his arms, the dude takes back the girl in his plaza room to be sure she's safe and fall asleep on the floor.

Meanwhile the spy doesn't know if she lost her talents of if Jason has a really strong mind.

If Jason was Batman from the start, first encounter with catwoman, take 1 :

"What arrre you going to do, arrrest me ?

- Yes.

- Wait, what ?"

Jason going to college and always being invited to girls night when they're going to bars or nightclubs because they have a 6'6 werewolf with them to dissuaded the other guys and they feel secure because they can't recall one time he tried something that made them uncomfortable, or just something in fact.

Never hit on a girl, loves litterature, takes great care of his body...Jason Todd is the only gothamite unaware he's a gay icone.

*headcanons your ‘hyper-sexualized by the fandom’ character as asexual*

Dance with Radio Demon

Lilith was forsing him into dancing with her. She was trying to make him want her and never let him have it, but Alastor just...isn't into that, and Lilith is kinda confused. Al could consider it a win, but he'd prefer never had this situation at all

And now some comfort...

Soo... yeah. I want to traumatize him as much as posible and then give him comfort with Rosie. They are literally everything.....

[starlighz]

I love Rosie's and Alastor's dynamic.

Rosie 100% knows that Alastor is aroace. Romance is her thing. He doesn't have a single trace of it.

But Alastor doesn't because he simply doesn't know that it's a thing.

He thinks that other people are weird about sex and romance. It's such a simple and, in his opinion, dumb weakness. Easy to use for manipulation.

A guy gets rejected in public

Alastor: HA HA HA, sucks to be him I guess. Not that I care!

Rosie: Now now, Alastor. That must have been quite devastating for that gentleman!

Alastor: It's hell, Rosie! Where the violent, sexually deprived brutes live!

Rosie: Naw, that's not the only kind of people who come here! You know I support your lack of interest for the subject of romance, but I don't appreciate making fun of one of the things I am best at!

Alastor: 😀 What?

[crypticcozycorner]

I love headcanoning characters as asexual or aromantic because you really can’t argue against it.

“Well this character is in a relationship” they could be alloromatic asexual

“Well this character has canonically had sex!” They could be sex favorable and do it for pleasure, for their partner, etc

“Well they’ve shown sexual attraction before!” They could be graysexual or demisexual. Ace is a spectrum after all

The same could be said for a lot of aro headcanons as well!

“The character is in a relationship” they could be grayromatic or demiromatic! Aromantics can still have relationships!

“They’ve shown the desire to be in a romantic relationship” again, aromantic people can still like romance! They could be cupiormantic or just an aromantic who likes the idea of romance, even if they themselves don’t have those feelings for a specific person.

“Well they’ve had se-“ shhhh aromantic allosexuals exist and are valid as fuck.

All I’m saying is asexual and aromatic headcanons are simply too powerful.
