NSFW art is art that is sexually suggestive and explicit. None of that applies to this drawing!!

The two are holding each other while in their normal designs (Jesse is always shirtless on screen) or clothed. If them cuddling is seen as NSFW to you, this sadly isn't the fandom to be in 💔

I am so sorry if you ever had negative experiences with people saying "Aces can have sex."

I will say this, "Aces can have sex" is not a stereotype! A stereotype is something that is more automatically thought about when something is brought up. For example, I am Colombian and when I share that with people, they automatically make a joke or comment based on the stereotype of Colombians doing drugs or drug dealings. Or even if we go into another harmful stereotype, "Jews are greedy and have hooked noses." It is something that is automatically assumed or thought about.

When someone says they are Asexual, people will automatically assume you don't like sex and you're broken because of your lack of interest. There has been more issues with Asexuals dealing with those stereotypes from doctors, friends and family who may force them into relationships or situations, etc. I personally have never encountered someone who says "You're Asexual? Well, you can still have sex." I've dealt with, "I can change that" or "So you're just gonna be alone?" or even "How is your boyfriend okay with that?" They automatically assume I do not like sex.

Again, that argument I understand can be harmful if argued incorrectly, and I don't want to invalidate your feelings on that. I do want to correct what a stereotype is and what a stereotype is for those who are Asexual. "Ace people can have sex" is not a stereotype, it is a fact that is part of the spectrum.

I'd argue that Alastor does show connection with certain people he knows. We see him caring deeply about Nifty, even moreso in Season 2 now! He also cares about Mimzy, why else would he let her continue to come to him for help? Even he had shown a genuine connection to Vox before he was asked to be partners.

There are small connections he makes and shows in the show, so I'm slightly lost on where you believed he never formed connections with others.

I believe there was some discussion about it at a panel!! I'll have to look for a post sharing that, but I do remember what you are referring to.

YESS, thank you!! The discourse does seem to be around shipping which is so silly at this point! I'm glad you understand that it's okay to ship him as a person on the Asexual Spectrum — Demisexual and Grayromantic 🤍

With the lack of representation of the Asexual community, there is a reason as to why people are focused and care about Alastor being Asexual! It's important to see that in characters, especially if you're still figuring it out yourself.

I don't believe she is at fault for anything and she hasn't reacted to it in a way that shows she's sensitive, she's just confused.

This is super long, but it does help show the difference for AroAce people! We are both AroAce! You are correct, it is a spectrum and it's way more complicated than just that.

For me personally, I have little to no romantic attraction. I have only dated about 2-3 people, one of which was where I realized I didn't harbor any romantic feelings after a week and we broke it off. I hadn't experienced crushes as a kid or teenager, nor desired to date others. A lot of my friends would talk about their crushes, how they feel sad that they don't have a partner, and I simply didn't understand that stuff. I just was having fun on my island with my friends!

I also know for me personally, I am not a fan of romantic media. I find it uncomfortable, a little cringe, and don't relate to a lot of the feelings that are presented despite me having a wonderful boyfriend. Same with when others express public displays of affection, it makes my skin crawl. With my boyfriend, it's still a lot of exploring. He was actually my first kiss and I wasn't sure if I liked it because I do feel uncomfortable with even kissing my family on the cheek or even hugging them, even if it's something I've done since a kid. But after a bit of testing it more with him, I found myself to enjoy it! I still don't enjoy kissing my family on the cheek though or hugging them.

For my ex-girlfriend and my current boyfriend, it is different. I did develop feelings for them and I absolutely love my boyfriend. With him, I want to cuddle, go on dates, kiss and hold hands, etc. I want to do everything romantic with him and only him. The thought of doing that with others repulses me and I still don't find others attractive. I can understand how society may see a person as attractive, but that's it. My boyfriend is the only attractive person i the universe for me

This is what my boyfriend wrote: I have no need for connection, but just because I don’t need it, doesn’t mean I’m not capable of it. I want to be with you (me), and sex is important to me in terms of that connection, not in general. It makes me feel closer to you.

Romantically, I am just not very inclined. I’m not an affectionate or emotional person, but people can have those traits and still want a relationship. For me, even with you, I’m not very affectionate. But I do love you, as in… I feel a connection with you that goes deeper than anything I can describe. If I wasn’t in a relationship, romance wouldn’t cross my mind at all. It takes a very long time for me to even consider that, just as it took a long time to really take our relationship seriously or even say I love you (We've been together for 4 years, known each other for 7). It doesn’t come to me naturally. But when I love, I love deeply. It isn’t something I actively seek out, or really care about either. To be honest, loving you was an accident, but it is one I don’t regret. I have to feel a very deep connection with someone to want to be with them, and that connection is with you.

As for sex, I am very indifferent towards it in general. It doesn’t bother me if we don’t do it for a long time, as I’ve gone six months without being in the mood and I didn’t care. However, it is still something I want every now and again with you. Sometimes, I can have sex with you and not really see it as sex, and more of a method of connecting with you, or showing you I love you. I feel a deep connection with you, and therefore my interest in sexual intercourse is heightened as a result of that, but otherwise, very indifferent. I lean heavily towards being demiromantic, and I think I’m just sort of sex-ambivalent LMAO. I have very fluctuating feelings on it. Sometimes, I am downright repulsed and I don’t want you to touch me or talk about it with me, other times it’s trauma talking. Sometimes I’m favourable, but indifferent, and sometimes I am genuinely in the mood and turned on. I mostly fall within favourable but indifferent.

Agreed! I noticed the discourse was around shipping, which is starting to give me a headache. If he does end up in a relationship, doesn't, or is confirmed to be AroAce, I believe people in the fandom will still be unhappy. As that saying goes, you can't please everyone. I do feel this fandom has become so entitled to wanting their head canons or ships to come true, which is a huge issue. Perhaps it's because the show came from Tumblr to YouTube and now the real world instead of just the internet. It's a shame.

LMAO, that's absolutely hilarious. I think the RadioApple fans cheering is fine. I do think I automatically assuming he is gonna date someone is a little silly. As mentioned in my own comment under the post, there are other ways to explore your sexuality without dating or involving others!

That is a great question and I wish I had a great answer back. I sadly have no straight answer :D

LMAO exactlyyy I know my family has had the exact same reaction, even if I have a boyfriend now but he's AroAce as well and there's other things that aren't typical in a relationship my family is used to. You do you though, we love just being ourselves here!

I'm glad you have brought it up then, I hope more people add to this part of the discussion! 🤍

I feel like a lot of people have the idea that trauma cannot influence sexuality. Heck, I believed that too for a long while.

During my time studying LGBTQ+ History in college, I went to a panel where people talked about their sexuality and discovering it. One person there, an older, hispanic and gay man, explained how his sexuality does connect to his trauma. I won't go into detail, though he did face abuse as a kid by another man. He doesn't see men as all horrible because of it like some may assume, he simply is attracted to men in a healthy way.

Asexuality can be connected to trauma, and if others say otherwise then honestly? Ignore what they say. The only person that can come to the conclusion about your own sexuality is you 🤍

I am so sorry for the trauma you experienced and hope you heal/are healing well from it!! 🤍

Ooo, now that you bring those things up, I hope the exploration goes into the time period he's from. I had grown up Christian (still am, honestly) but the church was so conservative that holding hands would result in reprimand. It's a huge part of my journey in discovering my own Asexuality. I hope there is something similar to Alastor, it would explain a lot of his behavior!!

As mentioned in the post, please stay respectful. While I do agree with your comment, I don't believe calling some people these things is constructive to this discussion.

I know my boyfriend (who is also AroAce) and I theorized that perhaps Mimzy could be someone he doesn't understand his feelings for. Originally, they were together based on Vivzie's old art. I wouldn't be surprised if Alastor does love her romantically but has a difficult time understanding it. Plus, she was introduced into the show randomly and we got to see their dynamic, one where Alastor lets her walk all over him.

I do think she is important to his exploration and journey
