#specifically in before we disperse like star stuff there's also two trans characters!

Ray Walker: is a bisexual Lakota man

me: oh, some bi and Indigenous rep! that's cool

also Ray Walker: has "never been a romantic" and "never expect[s] anything long-term" from relationships, feels like "romantic" is an inaccurate description of his relationship with his ex, and asks another character if they can be friends who have sex sometimes

me: oh wait holy shit, is he aroallo???

#tre reads #homesick #before we disperse like star stuff #nino cipri #ray walker #aroallo #aromantic #the word “bisexual” is specifically used but “aromantic” is not so i can't be 100% sure here #but those descriptions do seem to imply that he could be at least arospec...??? #he specifically says that there's no word IN ENGLISH that describes his ex relationship #he doesn't specify if there IS a term in the Lakota language/culture that better describes it or not #but. still #even if i'm wrong about this possible aro rep i still love this story and the collection it's in so very much #y'all please go read it #there's a lot of non-aspec queer rep in all the stories #specifically in before we disperse like star stuff there's also two trans characters! #the author themself is trans/nonbinary and has some super intriguing story premises imo #everybody should go read their work right now dshfjkdf
