#o sex education

[inezrable]

Happy ace week folks! To celebrate, here are my top 3 ace characters

3. O from sex education. She was such a cool character and I wish they'd explored her asexuality more! If the show had gotten another season, I'd have loved to see her openly ace and happy

2. Crowley and Aziraphale (they are a set do not separate) from good omens. Yes I know they aren't canonically asexual, but it's a common enough hc. They're just so sweet, and the perfect example of a love story that doesn't need sex

1. Jonathan Sims from the magnus archives! The word "asexual" is said about him by writers, and when asked if she was hooking up with him, Georgie (his ex girlfriend) says that "Jon doesn't". He is biromantic and in season five is dating martin blackwood

very quick but the student counselor/sex therapist competition between Otis and O is so dumb. "It's not good to have two sex therapists" WHY?? There was a long queue of patients both for O and Otis so clearly two "therapists" (because no one here has actually studied to become one, as season 2 brilliantly highlighted) would benefit everyone. They don't even ask to be paid so it's not a matter of income either!

Just make it, idk, a competition to access a scholarship for Uni since understandably there needs to be a season-long issue guiding the events

I'm sorry but it's so unnecessary and it irritates me

Just finished the series finale of Sex Education! I hate to see this marvelous show go, but all good things must come to an end. Here are some of my thoughts:

- This show had the best ending for all of the characters. The thing I admired most was how realistic it felt. Literally none of the oc’s ended up with anyone by the end of the show except Aimee and Isaac, Cal didn’t feel comfortable yet due to dysmorphia, Maeve will probably never know if her brother is okay, etc. I’m such a sucker for realism in shows when it’s done well, so I enjoyed that aspect

- Everyone had fantastic growth, but my favorite was definitely Ruby and the Groff men. Absolutely loved that they weren’t fully at their best potential by the end, but it’s obvious they’re trying, and I love them all for that

- I felt bad for Ruby and Maeve the most during the whole season. Both are facing loneliness in different formats

- I like that Maeve stood up for herself against the writing teacher

- I actually don’t like that a good chunk of the cast just straight up wasn’t there for the final season, but the show did a good job with the new characters filling in their spots

- This is a continuation of the first point, but I loved that Ruby didn’t end up befriending Otis by the end since she realized he’d always unintentionally make her feel bad about herself. Usually shows go for the happily ever after and enemies to friends thing, but this show kept it real. Good for you Ruby

- This show is really good at making antagonist. O pissed me off so much

-Loved Isaac and Aimee’s relationship a lot

- Adam was so adorable and so were his parents

-Such a sucker for the estrangement period Otis and Eric went through cuz that happens sometimes when two friends realize just how different they are

-Eric’s storyline was so much fun when it came to the whole Christianity Vs sexuality debate. I loved that they made god a beautiful black goddess (literally)

- Glad Viv got rid of that loser before it got worse

- I feel like we still didn’t get a lot of Cal, but that could just be me

- That was the most unserious yet serious funeral I’ve ever seen and that woman needs to be fired cuz how do you mess up the deceased’s name before the service in front of the dead’s daughter???

- I like the realism of Jackson’s father rejecting him. Sometimes the birth parents just don’t accept you. It sucks ass, but it’s something a lot of ppl unfortunately face when they search for their birth parent(s). Glad he has his moms at least

- This season made me realize how many enemies Otis has lol

- Watching Joanna and Jean’s scenes gave me life tbh

- I loved the protest for making sure the school provided proper care for disabled students. It’s ridiculous they didn’t fix the elevator or ensure deaf students are catered to when there’s alarms ringing, etc.

- The final scene was the perfect send off for this show

All in all, great season finale for a great show. I will miss this show with every fiber of my being, and I hope Netflix will create something as good as it in the future. I might add or subtract to this list, but for now, this is it.

is no one else gonna talk about how wildly inappropriate it was for Jean's radio show to bring a 17 year old onto a show where adults call in about their sex lives??

I support O's asexual wrongs.

So... I binged Sex Education S4. SPOILERS AHEAD.

Jumping straight to the point, I liked it more than the previous instalments. I loved the arcs of Maeve, "O", Adam, and, by the end, Eric's, too. I initially hated, then felt very conflicted about "O" being the antagonist asexual rep.

B.u.t..

I do see a lot of myself in "O" and the portrayal actually reflected my experiences as an aroace person reasonably well, perhaps too closely for me to feel so strongly about it (and I LIKED that. More ace (and (explicitly) aro too, please) rep, please.)

Wait what happened? Did someone hack your blog or did tumblr delete it or something?

Nah, Tumblr straight up deleted it with a bunch of other blogs. Didn't even give me a warning. Haven't even answered my emails about it. I dunno what the fuck they were thinking.

(I understand why they wouldn't approve of inclusive sex ed, to be clear, I just don't understand why they decided to go on a full-on purge yesterday)

things I loved about season four of sex ed (spoilers ahead)

the amount of representation present this season. the disability rep, the queer and trans rep, how not shy the writers were confronting different trans and disability rights issues head on.

eric's arc with his religion and his gayness and how he was able to reconcile the two. this one really hit home for me as someone who is both queer and a person of faith. I love getting to see gayness have a place within faith, it just healed something for me, okay?

otis was so classically otis but he finally (FINALLY) acknowledged his own idiosyncrasies without just writing them off as being the fault of wounds in his life. by the end of ep 8 he was dedicated to making things better for himself and for other people and I'm actually so proud of him for that.

aimee's journey with healing from her SA trauma and how she navigated a new relationship with that. also I know it probably wasn't intentional but she's a very autistic coded character to me and watching her flourish as herself with isaac just did something so special to my heart. I would level cities for her.

and adam too!! him finally getting the closure he needed with eric and them communicating !!!! the scene at erin wiley's funeral when eric is able to tell adam how genuinely proud of him he is, just,,,my heart I love it when people get to heal !! also again with the unintentional neurodivergent rep, like come on - sitting undiagnosed by yourself, handsome? he's just like me fr.

I was worried the writers wouldn't do isaac's character justice, even though he was given a good arc in season three I was still anxious about where they would take it now that maeve was overseas and honestly, they didn't give him very much of a story outside of his history and who he was when he was with maeve. similar to aimee with him, I really liked watching more of his artistic traits pop out and I loved seeing him have a healthy friendship with someone. even better, I love it when the feelings he harbored for that person were mutual with no strings attached. I wasn't expecting him and aimee to be endgame but I'm absolutely not disappointed about it (you can tell he's my fav because I've written the longest paragraph about him so far).

cal and aisha and pk. need I say anything more? my only gripe is that I wish we could have had a glimpse of the three of them on a date or even see if there were other people in the polycule but that's okay !! I also just really loved cal's journey with themself and I loved getting to see them supported for their identity it meant so very much to me.

lastly but certainly not the least, I loved that otis and o ended on mutually agreeable terms with each other, it just really added to the whole theme of trying to heal and open new doors and be okay with things not being in control all the time. it was especially touching that he gave his position as therapist to her because he knew and acknowledged he had work to do on himself like !!! very rare otis w but totally welcomed. had the show continued I would have loved to see more development w him.

*once again, this list is a little shorter compared to the other entries due to the chronic under-representation and often times Ace erasure in media.

Ace rep is as important as any other rep for the LGBTQIA+community.

Miguel fic idea (crack and smut):

When Miguel first starts getting intimate in the relationship, he noticed how reader would rush to their phone or notebook, and start writing for... a while.

After a few times he asks about this weird habit and turns out they barely got any sex education, but they don't really want to learn out of hornyness, but in a scientific way. They even wrote questions in the notes that they were to embarrassed to ask about ( that's why they're doing this in the first place) and most of the questions being very stupid :l

And miggy being the nerd he is takes honor in teaching them

[teepussilakana]

I realize they needed to shake up Otis' and Jeans dynamic but how the heck is O able to get a job as a co-host without being a certified/educated therapist? plot hole???

O (Thaddea Graham) + ace ring (Sex Education 4x2, 2023)

[small-pleasures]

okay so I know not everyone was a fan, which I totally get, but to hear the words "I'm asexual" from a character with the same accent as me on a mainstream tv show will always have a special place in my heart

ANOTHER ASEXUAL CHARACTER IN SEX EDUCATION!!
