Just looked up the number of characters identified as asexual vs aromantic according to Wikipedia and oh man the numbers are really.... not a lot tbh:
59 asexual vs 19 aromantic
59 sounds like kinda a lot but when you think about how that’s spread over tv, film, animation, video games, literature, web comics, graphic novels etc its almost nothing.
And then only 19 aromantic characters, with only 1 of those listed NOT also identifying as asexual (aka 18 are asexual aromantic).
Obviously there might be more ace and aro characters than this, these numbers are just what’s listed on the respective Wikipedia pages, but either way the lack of ace and aro rep in the media is just not good enough.
Ace and aro people deserve to see themselves represented in the media.
Asexuality and aromanticism are not intrinsically linked, one can exist without the other.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

It took me two weeks to do this because I've been busy with commissions. I will probably continue to make Tarot cards with the other characters, but these were the first!
Here’s a compilation of rock-y doodles for pride month that I completed last week! Merging flag motifs with a variety of rock shapes, shines, and textures was a creative challenge that I enjoyed.
Personally (and figuratively, if these rocks were tangible and real and sold in a gift shop of sorts) I carry the space-ace rock and have been eyeing both the nonbinary and demigirl rocks.
Next week, I’ll be posting on Instagram a little less due to some vacation plans. Expect mostly doodles from either my sketchbook or phone.
Be safe if you’re traveling, stay hydrated, and happy pride month!
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
