#is Riz Aro? Probably! Do we need it said exclusively? no.

[hellish-riddles]

actually fuck u all i’m taking my anger out of the tags.

can riz be aroace? yes. could riz also just be ace? literally yes.

Can alewyn be lesbian? yes. can aelwyn be bi or pan/queer. literally yes.

When it’s not only implied but out right SAID it’s okay to canonize, even if later on it may not be true or retconned. YES it’s possible he’s not! YES it’s possible that he is. That’s all there is to it. Both answers can be correct.

the problem with hard marking a character or even a person as 1 thing and only 1 things is insufferable. Sometimes, oh my god hear me out. people will identify with things and sometimes, those things don’t mean the same to others. Is riz aroace? it’s implied and said directly by Murph and Brennan. Could that also change? Literally yes.

The people playing them are not aspec themselves and i encourage to extend leniency of their knowledge or interpretation of it within their characters. Was Ace the only one thing directly said? I believe so. Is Murph also implicating that he may also have the traits or feelings of being Aro? yes. Awesome! It doesn’t need to be said outright, maybe to Riz being Ace also means being Aro. Maybe it doesn’t.

This is DnD, this is fiction, all answers are correct. You think Aelwyn is just lesbian and Riz is just Ace? Cool! You think Aelwyn is bi and Riz is AroAce! Cool! guess what weirdos you’re both right.

all answers are correct. and even then, you can interpret a character any way you please. just don’t act like you are absolute in the characters/players thoughts wants and feelings.

“Riz isn’t canonically aro, no one has said it yet!” Do you need everything spelled out for you like a baby? Ya’ll can take anything a character does to argue they’re canon gay but suddenly not wanting to make out is too hard to think about?

ya’ll have literally decided Aelwyn is canon lesbian because of one line of dialogue but Riz saying several times how much he doesn’t want to have sex or kiss people and having a romance partner be his literal living nightmare doesn’t mean anything?!
