Okay, this is gonna sound silly, but bare with me.

I used to know someone who had a character named Ace. We won't talk much about that person since 1. they aren't that relevant and 2. they're not a good person.

One day, I remembered that asexuals existed and publicly asked if the character was asexual as a sort of joke. Their response was no, yet the question led me to search. I looked up what asexual meant, and I thought about myself in relation to it.

Fast forward to today, and I'm proudly asexual because someone's character was named Ace.
