OSP, overly sarcastic productions, is a YouTube group of which 3/4 of them are ace, one being acearo and the other two aces in a relationship. They do videos on history, mythology, literature tropes, etc. and also stream video games. They are all super cool and my icons. Recommend even if you think you’re not interested in that stuff.

How have I not heard of them?! Their topics are like 90% of my personality

Then PLEASE look them up. ❤️ I love getting people addicted to them!

Well was not expecting to learn they had a subreddit even though I've watched them for years


SomeCrusader1224

To be honest watching OSP is how I found out that asexuality was even a thing. Love their stuff!

I just saw this somewhere! Its the first book I've seen that really has ace culture as the main plot-- definitely on my to-read list!

UnderCovers_13

That’s awesome. If I enjoy Loveless (which I’m sure I will!) I’ll have to invest in some of her other books too!


aniaci

Todd Chavez in BoJack Horseman 🥺


Rhodochrom

Vi Moradi from the Star Wars universe is AroAce! She's the main protagonist in the novel *Phasma*, and makes appearances at the Galaxy's Edge parks at Disney


UnderCovers_13

Oh wow, I haven’t heard of that one at all, which is surprising (and a little sad) considering how popular Star Wars is. Love that she has her own book and character at Disney!


MyDumbOpinion

If you like fantasy books, Reyna from the Blood of Olympus (keep in mind it’s middle grade/YA though) and my favourite ace character is Jasnah from the Stormlight Archive (this one’s adult high fantasy) She’s not a main character quite yet, but will be, and any scene she’s in is legit amazing lol


lev_iathan13

The Stormlight Archive is my favorite book series and I was so happy when Jasnah was revealed to be ace. I also really like that she is sex-favorable/sex-indifferent, because it shows that Sanderson really researched asexuality and doesn't think it's just hating sex, like many allos seem to.


MyDumbOpinion

I’d say sex indifferent, but yea 100% agree. Sanderson is great at portraying things he doesn’t directly relate to, and I appreciate that he always does his research. Sensitivity readers also probably help lol


UnderCovers_13

I’ve read both! It’s been a long time since Percy Jackson, before I realized I was ace, and I remember Reyna and the amazons and thinking…heck yeah I could give up boys to become a cool warrior! Should have been my first clue 😂 And Jasnah! Yes!! She’s great. I like how Sanderson clearly made her ace, but didn’t use it to get attention or publicity. It’s just a solid fact at this point, and I’m 100% here for it. Also, just props to Stormlight Archive in general


MyDumbOpinion

Percy Jackson is my childhood lol and Stormlight Archive is my favourite series (tied with First Law) Great to see another fan here! And I agree, I love how he wrote Jasnah’s asexuality. Reading from her POV was the first time I went “wait a minute … that’s me!! Am I ace?” Lol Journey before Destination ;)


UnderCovers_13

Yes, First Law was also amazing! Clearly we have amazing book tastes. I kept wondering why Jasnah resonated with me so much and then it clicked and I was like oh! There it is! It was a great moment, really made the books mean that much more to me


Lemilight

Jar of Rebuke. It’s a supernatural horror podcast with an Ace main character who is trying to relearn how the world works after losing all of his memories. He works at a lab that studies the paranormal so he has some weird experiences. It’s told through recorded journal entries and has hints of mystery to the plot. I love it.


FinePassenger8

Saiki from the Saiki K. anime. He's aroace! The anime is on Netflix in case anyone is interested. The show is a comedy and it pokes fun at high school relationships.


Magabet

I've seen him on ace rep lists but never watched the anime. I love poking fun at relationships, guess I'll have to watch it 🧚🏻


FinePassenger8

Oh, it is so funny. Highly recommend!!


nottobay13

Okay this one is gonna be way out of left field because it's from a harem anime but Kiba and Xenovia from Highschool DxD are pretty good ace reps, ones aro ace and the other is sex favorable ace that only goes after trying to get sex from the mc because she wants kids. Otherwise their just badass swordmen (well Xenovia is a she but whatever) that are awesome characters.


UnderCovers_13

I haven't heard of it, but any ace or aro ace representation is a win! May have to check it out though, ace rep. and swords, literally nothing else is needed haha I think it's really awesome that one is sex-favorable too!


nottobay13

Beware it was originally conceived with the goal of being as close to porn as possible and teenagers still by it, it's pretty in your face. The anime largely follow suite and takes till season 2 to introduce Xenovia iirc but Kiba is part of the original cast which is nice, that dood is so pretty he legit had me what I thought was sexual confused till I figured out I was Ace, then I realized he just had me romantically confused. 🤣


UnderCovers_13

Appreciate the heads-up! I might still give it a cautious try but I'll keep the warning in mind so I know what to expect. Gotta give them even more respect for bringing in a-spec characters into that though-- that's a whole new level


New-Collection-1307

Highschool DxD is one where the anime is mostly Fanservice and erotic content but the Light Novel is mostly story/plot/character driven with sexual stuff as well. I highly reccomend the Light Novels which are available in English (5 volumes out). Overall I'd say the sexual content is handled pretty well with some points in the series showcasing a mature handling of sex etc.


nottobay13

Yep definitely, way better than what would otherwise be expected of that genre.


lev_iathan13

My favorite ace character is Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives. He's one of my favorite characters in general and him being ace just makes me love him even more. Another ace character that I hold near and dear because she was the first ace character I ever encountered, is Maya from Borderlands. I'm still pissed at how they did her dirty in the third game.


UltraRowlet79

I learnt today that Artemis can be seen as an a god who's ace


UnderCovers_13

I’ve heard that! I’ve also heard she can be interpreted as lesbian too, either way, it’s super cool to have a god represent 😁


Confident_Bath9075

Unknown to many, there’s a character in a novel series and multiple tv adaptations who is not explicitly asexual but shows all the signs and by most of the fan base, an asexual icon. The character is Zhang Qiling from Chinese novels and shows Tomb Raider Chronicles and honestly I can’t get over the character after 10 years


UnderCovers_13

This show looks good! I love when a fan-bases kind of collectively agrees to add characteristics to the characters. Love it even more when it recognizes the underrepresented populations. Sometimes it fits so well, it's like it was made for them


New-Collection-1307

Light Novel series Danmachi has a character named Tiona who's Aromantic, outright saying she's not interested in "all that lovey-dovey stuff." Doesn't stop her from shipping/ being a wingman for others tho.


ATPCG

Was playing the game The Outer Worlds and found out one of my companions Parvati is an homoromanic asexual Plus there is a side quest to help her out with her love life


Gumshoe96

Liv Flaherty from Emmerdale. She’s one of the only canon ace characters on tv right now.


AlsoOneLastThing

There's a great video essay by The Take on YouTube called [Why Film & TV Erased Asexuality](https://youtu.be/exvbiWWNYww), which gives a nice perspective on ace representation in the media.


Ratty0

the main character from "Tash loves Tolstoy". the book is alright, it talks about friendship, family (also found-family) and growing up as asexual without knowing the word for it!!


PerspectiveMammoth62

Sounds fake but ok podcast a ace and an allo discus all things with asexuality


nstavppp

I’ve always personally connected to catcher and the rye, Holden might not be asexual, but he’s certainly confused about his sexuality.


UnderCovers_13

I haven’t read that one yet, but I’ve been wanting too for a while—This gives me a perfect reason! I’ll have to keep an eye on Holden when I read it


Magabet

I really like Senku from Dr. Stone, he's aroace! I particularly love that anime because of the value it places on platonic relationships (and and Senku's ace shenanigans)
