#look if it's not clear enough - I headcanon Soma as an aro-ace lesbian

[mass-convergence]

Headcanons about the sexuality/lack-there-of of Soma under the cut. It’s entirely SFW but I just am an anxiety riddled potato who’s gotten/seen blowback in the past over shit like this so yeah.

Aro-ace lesbian Soma. I don’t know why but after watching some more playthroughs of her mission and stuff ... I just have gotten that vibe from her so I’m running with it. I mean it could be me projecting but what are fictional characters for if not to project your shit onto?

Most of her heart has been taken up by her love of Grantebridge but that doesn’t mean she has no space to love another

She also just really has never had much interest/never gave being in a relationship like that much thought? 

She is def aesthetically and platonically attracted to women. Like shit, I’ve seen the way she looks at Eivor. Granted I think everyone regardless of sexuality has heart eyes for Eivor “I’m Sexy and I Know It” Varinsdottir.

But say you (making this a reader-insert just for the sake of simplicity) were in a long-term committed relationship with the lord of Grantebridge:

She’d definitely be a caring, compassionate, and somewhat doting partner. Like aro people don’t have interest in romantic relationships (in the most simple, basic definition of the term) but it doesn’t mean that they can’t love people.

After a long day of whatever you do as a job ... she’d totally massage your sore shoulders and ask you about your day

Sometimes you’re the one rubbing her shoulders and beckoning her to bed as she sits at her desk, up late at night reading over missives from other lords and requests from her people

She is affectionate, maybe not with loud and grand romantic gestures but she still does little things that make you feel good and appreciated. She’ll greet you in the morning with a kiss and maybe a cuddle in bed before you both have to get up for the day

After she comes back from a battle... once her drengr’s wounds have been taken care of and once the celebration in the longhouse has since died down and everyone is passed out drunk on the floor ... you take her into her private chambers and patch up her own injuries (because you know she hides that shit from everyone and used to take care of it on her own until you came along)

Gods help any poor soul who hurts you or wrongs you in some way. She will tear apart the countryside to find them and wreak bloody vengeance.
