#i actually take melanie explaining jons asexuality as jon being a guy who doesnt label himself. which is canon according to jonny

[magpod-confessions]

in response to another ask, i actually really like the ambiguity of jon's asexuality, bc many other ace people (including myself) can project our owns expiriences and feelings while not being confined to canon.

like, if it was said that he was repulsed, completely utterly, finds it disgusting, etc., then myself and many others on the less repulsed side of the spectrum would have a harder time connecting and liking the character, especially if, like myself, are Jon kinnie's, then it would be even harder.

and on the other side of things, if it were said jon was more positive or neurtal, it would still have the same effect of being hard for all ace people to connect with.

i do also believe the way his sexuality was handled was a bit... off?

like, saying all ace people "don't" is an over exaggeration. some people do have those activities (look i may be ace and on the more neutral/positive side of it but i can still skirt around the words, ok?) and some dont, and it just feels weird. having an ambigous ace character while giving the hint that they might be repulsed/indifferent/etc., towards doing certain activities just feels weird to me.

ofc it could also be read as melanie just learning about it from georgie and never thinkin to ask Jon himself, thus causing ehr to draw her own conclusions, but yeah, a bit weird, but yk. it is what it is? not sure how to close out these thoughts-

.

#yea i like it being ambiguous #i actually take melanie explaining jons asexuality as jon being a guy who doesnt label himself. which is canon according to jonny #so he doesnt say hes ace he just says he doesnt have sex much #and to keep him ambiguous you can say that was his relationship with georgie but he later learned more abt himself #and then elaborate on that #idk personal headcanon for me #magpod #tma #the magnus archives #jon sims #jonathan sims #asexual #asexual character #magpod confession
