The Hazbin Hotel cast discussing Alastors aroace identity. The compassion when talking about aspec identities and the points raised are so good, the whole discussion is wonderful

It's all "you guys need to understand how SUBTEXT and CODING are usually the only confirmation of representation queer people get in media especially in older media" but once that subtext and coding is used to say a character might be aro or ace coded/have aro/ace subtext then suddenly it's not a valid way to claim representation. Then it's only "headcanon" or "not confirmed" like do you all hear yourselves? It'd be so much easier to say you hate aro/ace ppl at this rate!

#text #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #'thats not what the creator intended' when has that ever stopped queer ppl from finding queer rep?#its just obvious a lot of queer ppl dont include aro and ace ppl as queer #it was so blatantly obvious with out everyone threw the idea of subtext and coding out the window #when it came to ppl complaining abt riverdale erasing jugheads aroace identity #suddenly subtext and coding didnt matter when it was an aroace character #suddenly 'different iterations always change the characters sexuality! there is no canon!'#and it only happened to shut up aro and ace ppl who were rightfully upset #that our identities were thrown to the curb on one of our only representation in medua

I'm scared to voice my headcanons in fandom spaces because as an aroace person the most intense love I experience is for my friends. When I see two characters that are deeply connected to one another but not dating in canon I see the kind of relationship that is most meaningful to me, but if I keep that interpretation instead of treating them as a ship I'll be read as a homophobe in fandom spaces

#aroace #hilson #malevolent #gigolas #asexuality #aromanticism #Don't get me wrong I also like the ships but seeing the way I love treated as the cowardice or homophobia of creators or fans isn't great #theine soaked syllables #orufrey

"Aroace people can still date"

Yeah and aroace people can also bash your skull in and thats what this aroace person is gonna do if you keep using this as an argument to ignore a characters identity

I wish there would actually be more alloaro characters.. and non sam aro, and neu aro, aromid, aroqueer, just aro, etc.

#Im going to explode if another creator claims a character is aromantic then you know just decides the only way #that can be is if the character was aroace #like thats not the only way to be aro.. give us aro rep that doesnt hinge entirely on asexuality this is frankly disappointing #aro #aromantic #non ace aro #arospec #aspec #sincerely an alloaro who wants some actual fucking rep #it gets a little tiring seeing the aroaces and alloaces get so much rep while we have like scraps of rep...

I think one of my “favorite” things is when people misinterpret what it means to be aroace. Watching people so clearly not understand the complexity behind the spectrum of aromatic and asexuality and then proceed to say they “stand with” aroace as an ally is so hilarious to me. Especially when they use this to start bashing on a perfectly fine ship, especially because said ship gets in the way of theirs.

Aroace does not mean no attraction. The plastered poster face for it is people who don’t feel ANY types of attraction, but that does not mean everyone. Aromantic people can date and fall in love. Asexual people can fuck. Aroace people can do both.

Yes, aroace rep IS needed. But we still have it via Luffy—just because Luffy kisses someone (hypothetically) doesn’t mean we just yeeted the aroace label off of him. He is STILL aroace. You know who else is aroace? Bon Clay, for one. Zoro as well. Yet I don’t see people screaming that shipping Zoro with someone completely erases the aroace label, now do I?

Ugh, I’d totally make a whole ass essay about this, but it’s half till midnight. It’s just. Been on my mind for a few hours and I need to say a little shit

#iykyk #zolu #I got so worked up reading that one post lol #as someone who used to not ship zolu because Luffy felt aroace to me I found it hilarious #while also quite insulting #says someone started bashing on a ship that’s done literally nothing wrong #plus they also started bashing on zonami and said it’s because Zoro’s canonically gay #like ??? no??? he isn’t???#“never explicitly said but heavily implied” is ridiculous really #Zoro is Zoro. he is a fictional character who is up to interpretation until the original creator states otherwise #also the “straightwashing Sanji” comment had me dead I’m sorry #like did we WATCH the same anime/live action?#sanji’s been straight from the start. if anything opla made him less straight with all those soft looks he was giving Luffy #like dudes bi at most #but truly Zoro is so aroace to me #that dude has nothing on his mind but being the best swordsman #booze #and making sure his captain doesn’t die like #seriously. people need to understand that aroace is much more complex than they think it is #oh and yes #we definitely need more non-dating aroace rep

Wild how fast alloros will loose reading comprehension the second that the idea of asexuality out of the split attraction model exsists

Like someone will use ace as a way to say aroace bc either they identify as a non sam/whatever aroace, or someone who’s not super knowledgeable with aspec terms will use asexual the same way they would use bisexual for example, including romantic and sexual attraction under one term. And then you have alloromantics fighting tooth and nail to insist the person ONLY meant asexual and aromantics were NEVER mentioned even when it’s painfully clear the person meant aroace

#I’ve seen this when someone mentioned they were ace and described being aroace #and people ripped them appart in the comments over their own identity #bc some stranger thought they were wrong about how they identified #and I’ve seen this over and over again when ppl try to deny aro rep bc the creator said ace when they actually meant aroace #i hate it #aromantic #aro #ace #asexual #aroace #void screams

Ace rep in Monstrous Agonies!

Monstrous Agonies may be deservedly famed for its monsterfucking, but what if you're more in the mood for monster cuddling? Monster hand-holding? Painting miniatures with your monster while you listen to a podcast together?

Have no fear - there's plenty of asexual and aromantic rep to be found in Monstrous Agonies too! Here are four big ace moments in the show so far, with quotes from the transcripts.

You can listen to Monstrous Agonies wherever you get your podcasts, or check out monstrousagonies.co.uk to listen online and for full transcripts for every episode!

Episode Twenty One - Love in the Ace-pocalypse

The first time a character describes themselves as something akin to asexual is an admittedly blink-and-you'll miss it moment in Episode Twenty One, during a letter from someone worried the relationship that seemed so promising during the apocalypse now seems to have stalled a little...

I don't mean sex. Well, I don't not mean sex. I mean, look, I don't even know if he- Personally, I can take it or leave it, but- [sighs] I just thought there'd be something, alright? Something different.

It's a small enough mention, but a gentle acknowledgement that sex is not actually what makes a relationship special! There's also a little easter egg in this episode for fans of a certain book/TV show popular on tunglr dot com, if I tell you that this letter, which mentions wielding a sword at the apocalypse-averting showdown, was tagged in the planning document as "ethereal/occult"... 😇😈

Episode Twenty Eight - Human Juice Box

The first unambigious, canonical declaration by a character of their asexual identity comes from a letter-writer affectionately known as Human Juice Box, with a question about how to make their queerplatonic partner feel more comfortable with the inherent intimacy of drinking another person's blood directly from their chewy meaty neck.

We already hold hands and cuddle and sometimes even shower together. But because neither of us intended it as romantic or sexual I've never considered it to be!

The letter-writer describes themselves as aromantic but not asexual, while their partner is asexual but not aromantic, and their letter explores what physical closeness and intimacy look like when sex is off the table. It also includes some fun world-building about NHS blood-bank deliveries for persons of haematophagic background 🧛

Episode Forty One - Mothman says Ace Rights!

Monstrous Agonies is largely made up of listener submissions, with some people writing in to riff off previous episodes and continue their ideas. Episode Forty One was one of these, where the in-universe letter made mention of hearing about QPRs on the radio, and having their interest piqued.

You're not alone in wanting intimacy without sex, devotion without romance.

Let this be a reminder to us all about the importance of being open about the diversity of sexual and romantic identities. Hearing the writer of Episode Twenty Eight talking about their relationship reassured this reclusive creature (I'm not saying it's Mothman but it's totally Mothman) that they can be non-monogamous and sex-repulsed, and still be as loved and cherished as they deserve 💖

Episode Fifty - Sex-Worker Succubus

For this letter-writer, sex itself wasn't the problem. As a sex worker who happened to be a succubus, they could see how useful sex could be as a way for their clients to blow off steam, while bringing in a steady income and energy source. But they weren't interested in doing it when they were off the clock - something their romantic partners could struggle to understand.

Yes, I feed on sexual energy; yes, I have sex for a living; yes, I enjoy sex. And no, I don't want to have sex with you, my romantic partner.

They're feeling the pressure of other people's expectations about them, both as a sex-worker and as a succubus. But as long as they stay true to themselves and communicate their needs, they're sure to find someone who can love them and celebrate them exactly as they are.

These are just four canonical mentions of aspec identities in the show - but as always, every character is up for interpretation! Who are your aspec headcanons? Is there anyone I missed? Does the existence of asexual vampires problematise the ace community's use of garlic bread-based humour? Let me know! 🖤💚🤍💜

It's really funny that people CRUCIFIES those who ship alastor with someone bc he's aroace, but when it's a Ink, Error, Nightmare or XGaster ship no one says "don't ship them! [Said character] is aroace!" Like be for real girl☠️

#sans au #undertale #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #aroace #like it's no problem making ships w/ aroace characters tbh #as long as the creator is not uncomfy with u changing their sexuality or making them have a lil' of romantic/sexual attraction ofc #and please do not make ships w/ aroace charcters to mock aroace ppl #or to say “I can change them” ☠️#I say that being aroace myself

i was wondering why people were making it out to be such a huge thing that alastor is aroace canonically....and then i tried to think of literally any other character i've seen that's canonically aro or ace....yeah i'm coming up empty 😍

#rave ramblees #hazbin hotel #i feel like a few warrior cats characters had the makings to be aroace and then got fucked over by the plot #iirc bluestar wasn't interested in romance? and then....oakheart 😩#I know Sunny wof is ace in popular *fanon*#OH WAIT PERIDOT #who was....only confirmed aroace in second level canon #by a storyboarder....yeah #apparently lilith toh was confirmed outside of canon by the creator as aro? it wasn't really touched on in the show tho-#there's saiki k who isn't confirmed in any way #but it's so heavily implied in canon i'm just gonna take what i can get >:)#so...yeah it's literally Alastor sitting on the throne for aroace rep in canon #AND he's a tumblr sexyman #and we love him for that #suddenly seeing why this is kinda a big deal to people now #and why they're defending it so hard #because there is NOTHING ELSE in other media apparently #outside of headcanons that is-
