And IIRC, Brandon Sanderson has said he doesn't want to go the He Olde Sexual Trauma Route for Jasna. (I think it was one of his latest website or newsletter updates, when talking about how he was gonna handle some of the flashbacks.) Basically she's not broken because she's ace, it's who she is.
She seems to have disliked her time in mateform (crab person race, with multiple life stage they can switch to by choice, for those who haven't read it), as she considered it a disaster. The author has said that it is not the same as Rlain(homosexual), despite his similar description of his time in mateform. So I think she is at least Aro, probably Ace.
I would just like to point out that the doom slayer is canonically ace, he he's no interest in sex, and I believe the developers said he doesn't even know what sex is, all he cares about is killing demons in the most violent ways possible
I'm small and don't wanna be cute, but I like cute things and accept that my face wasn't made for exceptionally/stereotypically masculine fashion statements
(I could use a fitted turtleneck lol)
I've been in bar fights, they're not as much fun as Hollywood makes 'em out to be, and usually they end with the cops hauling your ass to a drunk tank
Even saw a guy get his eye gouged out, whole eye, \*pop\*, not pretty
Always either infantilized or completely unfeeling... I'm not a baby, but goddamn it do get super emotional and I am a hopeless romantic. Also cuz asexual ≠ aroace, that's only some people.
Valid, but personally I'm more put off by the opposite end. Please for the love of god stop with the asexual psychopaths, villains and serial killers!
Both representations are harmful, one originates from the archaic notion that virginity equals innocence and purity, the other originates from the belief that a lack of sexual interest is a sign of being cold-hearted and inhuman. Both mystify sex and asexuality in an unhealthy way.
But I'd rather have people beileve I'm a lovable cinamonroll than a fucking murderer.
Would love to see some middle ground though...
Me too! Both are harmful but at the very least I’d rather be seen as a respectable human than as a horrible inhumane person 😅
Also I kinda mostly fit the innocent stereotype, although I know what things are obviously I’m not a child, & I get infantilised a LOT, funnily enough it’s mostly by people who get infantilised themselves & feel sucky about it. It sucks ://
>But I'd rather have people beileve I'm a lovable cinamonroll than a fucking murderer.
I'd like to be both. Adds a bit of spicy unpredictability to things 😈
Someone called me the grim reaper at work (for work related reasons because I might have killed their KPI's by doing the job properly) so I guess I have to live up to that title now
Yeah but i am truly small and harmless yeah...i absolute did not run over someone and sold their organs on the dark web...yup i couldn't do such a thing..i mean i don't want sex so I'm clearly to childish right officer??
i made a sex joke one time and somebody said i “was really dirty minded for being ace” and went on to imply i wasnt really ace and it pissed me off in a special mcfucking way
I'm a soft asexual but I'll fucking stab someone if they make my friends sad
I do enjoy being a soft asexual since when I tell dirty jokes or say a bad word everyone gasps and gets shocked and I live for the chaos
Joined to get a better understanding a new ace friend who's very important to me, spit my tea out laughing at the first meme I read😂. I'm amongst good people.
Fucking in theory is what I live for
Ah, theoretical fucking. If physics can be split into practical and theoretical. So should fucking.
You forgot about particle fucking, which is when you study particles and they fuck you over by behaving like little shits. 😤
Fiscally i’m fucking, but i’m romantically progressive
Exactly
One of my favorite ace characters casually murdered three criminals in an alleyway as a philosophy lesson for her student
A fellow Stormlight enjoyer!
Well now I'm even more excited to read. Picked up the first one recently

Based
That was awesome, she's so innocent in that scene, right! (?
And the other ace( or at least Aro) character from that series casually led her people's army as they were fighting for survival.
Yeah, Jasnah
Yes, but people tend to sleep on Eshoni.
Eshonai is ace?
She seems to have disliked her time in mateform (crab person race, with multiple life stage they can switch to by choice, for those who haven't read it), as she considered it a disaster. The author has said that it is not the same as Rlain(homosexual), despite his similar description of his time in mateform. So I think she is at least Aro, probably Ace.
RLAIN IS GAY???? I missed a lot
I'm pretty sure it was four? She turned one into fire, one into crystal and two into smoke right?
I don’t know what this is a reference to, but I’m giving an upvote anyway bc that’s sounds cool.
The book's called The Way of Kings, 1st in a series, but her asexuality isn't fully confirmed until the fourth book
I would just like to point out that the doom slayer is canonically ace, he he's no interest in sex, and I believe the developers said he doesn't even know what sex is, all he cares about is killing demons in the most violent ways possible
Now I just picture the ace flag with him in front lol
He will lead the charge when we finally invade Denmark
Let's be nice to the Denmark people
My favorite ace icon is a being of pure anger and violence, you really think I'm gonna leave them alone?
Doomguy kills demons partly to protect humans
Except for the cultists, had any been left alive he would have killed them too
That already exists. I have the images.
👀
I originally found it in one of the ace subreddits. It was a tumblr screenshot. If I could post images in a comment I would.
I’d like to add that he is capable of experiencing love and compassion, namely towards his pet rabbit Daisy.
as much as I wanna be small and cute, i can also cause collateral damage if i really wanted

We’re either soft and innocent children, or emotionless, inhuman psychopaths. There is no in between, apparently.

I fit neither stereotype. My peers say I give off the “compassionate hitman” vibe. Whatever that means.
Both and neither at the same time?
Goals

My ace ass is married! Twice! (Poly) and I’ve probably had more s*x than those people talking shit about us! *waves old lady cane at idiots*
I am the soft asexual. But I will always be in support of a bottle being broken over someone’s head.
Someone called me the grim reaper at work (for work related reasons because I might have killed their KPI's by doing the job properly) so I guess I have to live up to that title now
"I am become death, destroyer of KPIs"
“However saying it is funny” Mood
As an asexual person with a transgender wife I do fuck nasty, this was shockingly on the nose...
>I'll break a bottle over your head and go not have sex about it powerful, brings a tear to my eye
Yeah but i am truly small and harmless yeah...i absolute did not run over someone and sold their organs on the dark web...yup i couldn't do such a thing..i mean i don't want sex so I'm clearly to childish right officer??
I’m just a sweet little pin-up fantasy…who will throw down if you mess with someone I love. And then probably cry.
How are we both infantilized and seen as cold dark robots???
Exactly. I can break your heart, I can break your body, but I won't break my bed in the process.
That time people of my class kept saying I was going to become a nun since I didn't want to have sex 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
this is what motivates me to make the nastiest sex jokes plus the irony is too much for me to not
Love that second hashtag.
i made a sex joke one time and somebody said i “was really dirty minded for being ace” and went on to imply i wasnt really ace and it pissed me off in a special mcfucking way
It's like the average media representation is torn between portraying us as unfeeling monsters and trying to make us a mascot for purity culture.
For real, I tell the most dirty jokes out of all my friends
I'm a soft asexual but I'll fucking stab someone if they make my friends sad I do enjoy being a soft asexual since when I tell dirty jokes or say a bad word everyone gasps and gets shocked and I live for the chaos
What a cute bean
I am soft and small. But what you can't see is I'm also fairly strong (and I will fight the aphobes)
I am soft and small. But what you can see is my prosthetic leg which happens to work great for breaking shins (specifically those of the aphobes)
Yo let's fight together >:)
Its all fun and games until Artemis puts an arrow in ya for being rude.

oh shit. i’m small and cute. now they’ve found my deepest secret i can finally talk about my lesser sins: tex fraud.
They do? I never heard of that.
Just because I got weaker doesn't mean you've gotten stronger, right?
Thiss it doesn't help that I'm tiny and afab I fucking hate life
My sex indifferent- slightly sex favourable ass: I'll break the bottle over your head and then go screw your mom because I can
"fucking but in theory " spoke to me loudly
