For this year's Asexual Awareness Week, my dear friend @gardeninthevoid asked that I draw his OC. But since I also have an ace OC, I thought "Hey, why not draw them together?" And that's how this came to be!

A little about the girls in the drawing: On the left is Pandora, @gardeninthevoid's baby, a rock musician werewolf. She's hot-headed, rebellious, and tries to seem badass and intimidating (and usually succeeds), but in reality, she's quite a bit of a disaster. Besides music, her main hobby is getting into fights with random strangers. She's a gray asexual, bisexual trans woman, and her feelings about sex change a lot, but she's very into her girlfriend. Said girlfriend is the leader of their pack, but what she doesn't know is that Pandora will usurp her one day. She was initially created as a sim soon after TS4 Werewolves came out. On the right is Serena, my baby, an extremely extroverted half-mermaid who refuses to put on dresses and skirts. She's insanely charismatic and friendly and constantly forgets that personal space is a thing. She studies fashion design and plans to help her father be seen as the great tailor that he is. She's asexual, biromantic, and doesn't really have an opinion on sex. She forgets that it's a thing as often as the fact that not everyone likes surprise hugs. She never really thinks about it, but wouldn't mind pleasing someone she loves deeply. I made her years ago, and she has gone through so many revisions and changes, and her current form has to be my favorite. She's been with me for so many years, and she will stay for many more.

Hi! I'm Mushki, and I'm showing off my two aspec blorbos for ace week!! They're both from my comic~

Leif on the right is acearo, and through the events of the comic, gets into this slow burn queer platonic relationship with an archer named Epotch.

ALSO HES A WEREWOLF

Sepa is on the ace/aro spectrum, but is harder to explain. She's more family oriented and will just adopt whoever she likes, rather than get into any kind of special bond relationship =)

Happy ace week!!!

Here's some links if you want to see more of them!!

Patreon (has comic, art, and maybe someday soon, some spicy art)

Ko-fi (you can buy physical copies of the comic here~)

Peripety website (its not the prettiest website, but it'll do for now!)

Discord (A server for my comic! We're a tiny and kind community <3)

My Oc Mara for #aceweek2023 !!!

She's from comic I will do someday... Its a very light futuristic slice-of-life with a bit of action.

She's from a lunar colony and used to be a profesional fighter, but now she's a body guard at nightclubs. She has a very strict sense of justice and will help anyone who needs help but she also makes rushed decisions that keep on getting her in funny situations. She's very kind, but very nosy as she gets bored easily.

Shes bi-ace and is currently living with his pal Ubjaux, with whom she gets in trouble with.

Aspec OC Event 2023: Sojan from Blood Night

The wonderful event was introduced here

I decided to make a post for each OC since there are only from the WIPS I am working on right now.

Sojan is the demiromantic and graysexual main character of my high fantasy story Blood Night. You can find the WIP blog over @lagawood-guildhouse

He makes a living as a monster hunter from the continent's hunter guild, wandering the land with his trusty friend the giant wolf Parin who is also his mount. Only a few know he is actually a lust demon, among them only the hunter comrades from the guild house at Lagawood where he usually stays over winter. Since his kind makes a big deal out of sex, it never occurred to him how different he is, especially because the term lust demon was given to them from the other races because their uncontrolled magic causes non-demons to go into a sex frenzy.

It wasn't until the fellow monster hunter Desssielle brought up the topic of his views on sex when the bard Lyran started flirting with him, Sojan began to question himself at the ripe age of 562 years (which is basically around 30 in human terms).

Finding yourself is already complicated but even more when the end of the world hangs above you, caused by your own father who already caused great pain and trauma in the past, but somehow Sojan managed, also with the help of his sister Arritit and the patience of Lyran, who also had his own trauma to deal with.

Under the cut, the conversation between Dessielle and Sojan when they merry gang stops at a small city for a few days.

After another night in which Lyran was tormented by nightmares that he partly woke up from them, Sojan was also just tired. He didn't mind if they both got more sleep. But for now, he needed to stretch his legs after a day at the inn, and maybe he could find a merchant who had some candy. In any case, he had to find something to make Arritit feel mellow again after he had moved the lesson to the afternoon.

To his surprise, Dessielle arrived just a few steps behind him. "Morning, on your way to the marketplace, too?" she inquired as she stretched. "That was the plan. I'm afraid I'll have to buy my sister's favor so she won't try to kill me. Dessielle's laughter filled the street. "I thought you just needed to brush up on the basics." "I was never very good at magic," Sojan confessed with a shrug. "I see, a man of action, eh?" "As a rule, yes."

She nodded a little, which almost seemed thoughtful to Sojan. "There is one thing that puzzles me about this, though." "Which is?" inquired Sojan. Dessielle had not yet distinguished herself as particularly curious, but that didn't have to mean anything. They entered the next street, which was also starting to get more crowded. "If you're a man of action, why do you keep Lyran away from you like that?" "You too?" The groan came from the bottom of his being, it seemed. She just smirked. "I just wonder." "Let me guess. Arritit is related to this?" "Kind of, yeah." Eyebrows went together as Dessielle avoided someone. "Kind of?" "She's the prime example of your tribe, you'll give her that."

Slowly, Sojan got an idea what was irritating Dessielle so much. To the others, it certainly looked like Lyran had made the first move every time, and it wasn't entirely wrong. He exhaled loudly. "Indeed it is. I'm the counterexample to that." As a merchant's cart passed them, they were forced to stop. "But you're not averse to it, are you?" "Sex? No, but I don't understand why everyone makes such a fuss about it either. There are other things that are great." She just nodded. Slowly, a smirk spread across her face. "You spent some time with elves, didn't you?" "I have. Why do you ask?"

At some point, Dessielle's thoughts had taken a turn that Sojan couldn't keep up with. So he could only wait to see what she revealed of her thought processes. "Have you come across the concept of loshal before?" For a few steps, Sojan tried to rummage through his memory to see if he had heard the term before. "No, it hasn't. What's loshal?" The smirk widened a bit, and she gestured him away to the left to enter the marketplace. "It's a little complicated. It means that the people in question only feel sexual attraction under very specific circumstances. It can mean that someone only feels it when they fall in love when the other person has been friends with you for a long time or has known you for a long time. It can also mean that feelings are more important than sex. And it can also mean that someone only wants to have sex in phases and the rest of the time is not interested in it. Or not at all." "Interesting concept…," Sojan mused aloud, "We don't have anything like that." "You guys don't have a lot of things," Dessielle commented with a roll of her eyes.

She was actually right about that. As a lust demon, you had to be interested in having sex, no matter how strong it ended up being. If you weren't interested, you were put to the test to see if something was wrong somewhere in your body. The other tribes were clearly more developed, even the humans. "You have no idea what all there is not. There are regular problems with the other clans." "What kind of problems?" Dessielle glanced at him briefly before returning her eyes to the road ahead of them. Of course, the closer they got to the marketplace, the more crowded it became. "Well, for other clans, lack of interest in sex is not a problem. Neither does not want to have children. For my clan, both are unthinkable. It's so ingrained in us that there's even a state where our entire existence is focused solely on producing offspring." She rolled her eyes, but nodded. "Sillatura. I know." A cynical half-smile appeared on Sojan's face.

The last 'A-sex Education' event was one of the very informative and interactive.

The best thing about this was the active participation of the participants and detailed discussion about the Asexual spectrum.

Thank you Nazariya Foundation for giving space to the Asexual people.

I know this is late, but in the sense of things, it's never too late to celebrate oneself. I myself am demisexual and a part of the asexual community. 🐇💜

Happy Belated Ace Appreciation Week Everybody! 💜🖤🤍

Phi is aro/ace!

i posted Phi’s character intro a week too early for Ace Week!!! i guess i'll use this post to talk about their asexuality.

Phi struggles with (a lot of things) self esteem, which i think would mix with their asexuality. they are pretty hard on themself, using words like "unlovable," "useless," and "fuck up" to name a few. he definitely has codependent tendencies and wouldn't be a healthy partner at all (sorry buddy :( ). but i digress.

a lot of aspec people struggle with feelings of 'brokenness' or that they're 'missing something'. Phi feels this way a lot (sometimes about relationships but mostly about life in general), so i think that experience would resonate with him.

a big overlap between the self-esteem issues and asexuality would be the fact that Phi just can't picture themself in a romantic or sexual relationship. they'd be pretty confused about how much of that is negativity and how much is lacking interest. it would take an incredibly long time and a lot of work for Phi to be in a healthy enough place to make that distinction.

i also think Phi's relationship with his friend Jason would be instrumental in his realization. Phi and Jason are very close, and as they grow together i can definitely see them having romantic phases. these wouldn't work out for a lot of reasons, but Phi using that space to experiment and realize that he doesn't feel attraction is only natural.

that's all for now! i hope you like my sad little guy 🖤 one day he'll feel whole, at least for the most part, and he'll know that being whole doesn't mean being allo, and being single doesn't mean being alone, and being aspec doesn't mean being unloved.

ACESPEC ORIGINAL CHARACTERS EVENT FOR ACE WEEK 2023!

ACE WEEK is from 22nd to 28th October this year!! That's around the corner btw.

Back in the old Twitter days, I used to summon acespec creators to join me in a thread of their own acespec OCs with the goal of meeting more ace creators, their OCs, their projects and making friends! I thought it would be a great idea to bring the event to Tumblr this time... WITH NEW RULES!

So, during the ACE WEEK 2023, I want you to show the world your ACESPEC ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!

I want to see artwork of them, especially if it's made by you, and please add some cool info about them, it can be any silly detail, but I encourage you to talk about their asexuality and experiences, and it would be super interesting to know if your own asexuality affected the creation of the character. Tell us about their story, if they have any, and if they belong to a project you are working on. This will take place during the whole week, so no rush. I'll be reblogging pretty much everything with my side martaslavendergarden

RULES:

ABSOLUTE RESPECT. The asexual spectrum is full of different experiences, all valid. If I catch you trying to invalidate any creator or character, be sure I'll go John Wick. Also, I'm fucking tired of the invasion ace meme because I'm very punk and absolutely dislike any imperialist shit, so please, let's keep this event free of white supremacist shit. Thank you.

USE THE TAGS. Use the tags #acespecoc and #aceweek2023 so your post can be found!

LIKE AND REBLOG! This event's main goal is to find other acespec creators and not just make friends but also to create a cool community, so I encourage you to spread out your likes, cast reblogs and write some beautiful comments in the tags when reblogging.

Some questions you may have:

The identity of my OC is complex or tagless. SOUNDS COOL TO ME. Is their experience somewhere in the asexual spectrum? You can join the party and I encourage you to talk about it! I'm sure they'll be a super interesting character.

Marta, I have 500 acespec OCs. SAME. You can join all of the characters in one single post or make several of them and post them during the week, organise it yourself, no problemo.

Marta! I'm not an artist! But I have these cute picrews of my ace ocs. Can I participate in the event? ABSOLUTELY! Also, you can share the picrew you used just in case someone loves it and wants to make their OCs too.

Marta, I have this comic/book/whatever featuring my acespec OC. Can I unapologetically use this event to promote it? GO FOR IT.

Oh, Marta, I'm not acespec but I have this ace OC... Can I join the party anyway? THE MORE THE MERRIER! And I'm sure you'll learn a lot from other artists and their acespec OCs.

Marta, I have this ace headcannon of this particular character. Can I join the event? Not today, this event is only for YOUR ORIGINAL CHARACTERS created by yourself.

MARTA, I have this acespec OC I made in a videogame through character creation or whatever. Absolutely valid to me. Please provide a screenshot of your cutie and all their background story if you can.

I made this AI/NFTSHIT stuff. FUCK OFF.

Feel free to DM me if you have any doubts. Also, spread the word, I want to see many acespec OCs on Ace Week on this site!
