Asexual Awareness Week

[@beatm6948]

My upsetness at Jughead not being asexual is large. Apparently Cole Sprouse also wanted him to be ace, but NOPE. To be fair, Jughead isn't ace in every version of the comics I don't think, but it would've been nice.

[@devinaghose9318]

jughead was aro-ace, in some comics he was just ace, but HE WAS ON THE SPECTRUM and they totally erased his sexuality - if he was gay and the show turned him straight, it would've caused a big upheaval but for aro-ace eraser, nothing happens, cuz its NoT ReAllY tHaT sRs

[@TakaraoftheElves]

@@Ranahi_Itma Happy to help! (As a late-blooming aroace, I never quite realized why I liked Bilbo's character so much until I realized the following things): - Bilbo never expresses romantic or physical attraction to anyone, ever, in either the books or the movies (#Bagginshield is a crackship, born of Bilbo and Thorin's very well-rounded, emotionally laden friendship). - Bilbo never dates anyone, hobbit or otherwise, throughout his entire documented life - Bilbo never marries - When Bilbo does decide Bag End is feeling a tad empty, he adopts Frodo, a recently orphaned relative, who refers to him as 'Uncle Bilbo' from that point on - In short, although there is always room for creative imaginings and reading between the lines, Bilbo Baggins never has any canon romantic/physical relationships of any kind, never fathers his own biological children, and only ever cohabitates with his adopted nephew If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck.... #itsprobablyaduck/ace ;-)

I found out about asexuality a couple of years ago. All this time, as a religious person, I thought I was mastering the whole "do not look at another with passion or else you're committing adultery" thing like a pro. And those who wait until marriage or never marries have a natural inclination to being celibate or maintaining abstinence, despite learning it's actually a choice, not a natural inclination. And I considered myself to be a late bloomer during my teenage years. But when I learned about asexuality/aromaticism/demi. It all became clearer to me. 😆🥳🖤💜♠️💚

I love this! As an asexual its nice to be represented. But I would like to point out. (not being rude, I just wanna inform) being asexual is mostly not having /sexual/ attractions to people. We /can/ still have romantic attractions to people. Not feeling romantic attraction to people is aromantic. Not feeling romantic or sexual attractions usually mean the person is both aro and ace. I just wanted to point this out, because a lot of the dialogue in this was “I don't like girls or boys” And for me, I can't relate (I'm a hard lesbian) And I'm letting people know! I don't mean to be rude, I just wish to inform. I'm not hating on this! I'm very happy to see that these things exist, I just wish to help people understand us better :)

As someone who is asexual, I know this is years old but some of this is also coming across as aromantic. For example the one clip where she says something about “I just don’t like anyone.” I know the creator definitely intend on like that or Wtv. I just wanted to remind everyone that there is a difference between being aromatic (little to no ROMANTIC attraction), and asexual (little to no S3XUAL attraction). And I just see that the two are often combined into one, even though you can be just aromantic or just asexual or you can be both (me fr). No but just felt the need to ramble honest =)

[@randomstranger6577]

well my little confused friend, yes he has a wife, but asexual people can still experience romantic attraction and get married. He's likely much more towards not being interested in the act of sex itself, because Time Lords don't have sex to reproduce, its all scientific machines and stuff. And the reason the clone doctor who went with Rose might not be asexual, is because he's now human, and he got that human desire to have sex and reproduce through it. It does make sense because asexuality is very complex and it can cover most of the doctors behaviour, I'm not sure but if there ever are any mentions of him having sex before it could be because his partner asked and he wanted to make them happy, I'm pretty sure he can experience romantic attraction just based on actions through the show and yes I am just using "he" because I'm currently watching Matt Smith's series and also I think the doctor would be fine with any pronoun, given that they could be any of them.
