old meme alert

i cant put this into words but. yeah. you know.

boa hancock from one piece is asexual (headcanon)

submitted by anonymous

Ace: Your crew has ignored me my entire life. I don't owe antyhing to any of you. Rayleigh: You're Roger's son. Ace: I'm Dadan's son! Rayleigh: Who's Dadan? Ace: She's the one who cared enough to call herself my mother. And the one who raised me! They weren't here! So fuck off Rayleigh.

Real Talk: Ace Didn't Need to Ask For Help, It's On Garp

i always hate when i see comments about how ace was an idiot or ace should have just asked garp for help because, no? like dawg wtf do you mean?

the one thing we have been told repeatedly across the manga and anime is that ace could have lived his entire life being perfect and he still would have ended up on that podium

he could have become a marine, a police officer, a teacher, a chef and all of that would have been reduced to nothing the moment his parentage was discovered

yes, ace became a pirate of his own volition, but sengoku never mentioned his piracy

he never mentioned all the criminal activity ace did as the captain of the spade pirates or even later as the second division leader of the whitebeard pirates

you know what sengoku did bring up though the moment he got on that damn podium? ace's parentage

he mentions nothing that gained ace his bounty to begin with when he gets that den den mushi in his hand. why?

because it doesn't matter that ace is a pirate. what matters is that they are eradicating the last gol d roger's bloodline

bear in mind that they were killing pregnant women and young children who could have even had the slightest possibility of being roger's lover or kin

akainu deadass says that he doesn't care if every other pirate at marineford escapes as long as ace and luffy died and he would ensure their deaths personally. and for what? not their piracy. none of their crimes. not even for ensuring that the truth that certain countries and lands that were actually saved by pirates instead of the marines never got out

but because their fathers were gol d roger and monkey d dragon respectively

solely because of that, he deemed neither of them deserved to live

and as far as garp goes - i love garp as much as the next person but garp has never done anything for ace to trust him enough to ask for help even if he felt he deserved to ask

garp's negligent parenting coupled with the abusive words ace grew up hearing led ace to believe he didn't even deserve to be born. when he even asks garp if his being born was a good thing, garp can't even tell him 'yes'. he just says 'time will tell'. my brother in the blue seas, that is an elementary schooler questioning his right to exist

ace is defeated by blackbeard in episode 325 (chapters 434-441), luffy hears about his execution being set in episode 416 (chapter 522) and then finally ace is killed in episode 483 (chapter 574). that is 158 episodes and 140 chapters total and in that time what ace receives from garp are conversations that boil down to

"you did this to yourself"

"i just wanted you to become a fine marine"

"i don't have sympathy for criminals but i do have sympathy for family"

and garp actively preventing those who wish to save ace from reaching him. yes after akainu strikes ace, garp does react viscerally with instinct to protect his grandson, but that's too little too damn late at that point

garp having his moral dilemmas mean nothing when, however long ace spent in impel down, he isn't trying to help him

garp having his 'wishing things had been different' thoughts mean nothing when garp is preventing people from saving his grandson

there's a reason garp lets dadan beat and berate him when they reunite in windmill village and it's because he knows she's right

over the course of 20 years, garp has consistently chosen work over ace and luffy. as much as i love dadan and co, bandits are not a good choice to have raise your grandkids and then be the surprised pikachu meme when neither of them wish to become marines

garp's inability to see past the system he disdains yet clings onto actively shoots him in the foot

prevents him from seeing that ace is right when he says he never could have become a marine

luffy could have never become a marine. i do hear arguments saying that luffy might have had a fair chance considering garp is biologically his grandfather but i say that's truly up in the air considering how, even with that knowledge, akainu still wants to put luffy on a poster

but that's all to say, asking why ace never asked garp for help is ridiculous

the fuck would ace look like asking the man who has done nothing but

unintentionally fostered ace's resentment towards luffy in their early childhood

told ace it was his own fault he landed where he did

falcon punched marco halfway across marineford

for help?

and that's not even mentioning the fact that up until that point, ace didn't believe he deserved to live. he didn't think he had the right to exist. the only thing that kept him going up until that point was hoping he'd find an answer that justified his being born and his love for luffy and sabo. ace tells luffy in his dying breaths if it weren't for the two of them, he would have gave up on living a long time ago

yes, garp loves ace and luffy

he loves them both dearly but he is also incapable of putting them before work, before his ideals of justice. these two truths can coexist at the same time. garp's stubborn to a fault and his moral dilemma resulted in both inaction and the prevention of ace's escape

so to say that marineford would have gone differently if ace had asked is seriously undermining the character work. because in reality, it's up in the air on whether or not that would have done anything. ace asking garp for help could have gone either way and that's the beauty of the gray area regarding garp's actions during the summit war

and yes, i can get why it's frustrating that ace turned around to fight akainu when he could have just left and got it back in a blood a different time

but aside from ace having a temper about specific topics, we do get an answer as to why he couldn't bring himself to runaway when we finally are able to dive into his past with luffy and sabo:

he doesn't want to run away from any situation because ace is deathly afraid of losing something if running away ends up being the bad call

and in that moment, luffy was behind him

even if akainu hadn't talked down whitebeard, ace would have inevitably turned back around because he wouldn't have been able to shake his fear of losing something or someone he cared about

as long as there is something precious for him to potentially lose, ace will never run

he was doomed from the start

his being the son of gol d roger doomed him from the start

and that's what makes ace so tragic

I just told someone I identify as queer and they got all pissy at me and said, “no, you’re just gay.”

First off, who does this person think they are trying to tell me what my sexuality is and how i should identify myself? The nerve. (Im aroace, not gay)

Secondly, people who erase the term queer are also erasing All the other LGBTQIA+ labels like asexuals, aromantics, bisexuals, pansexuals, intersex, agender, nonbinary, and trans, etc.

*side note- if someone doesn’t feel comfortable using the word queer, that’s fine (if they don’t like the word, then they don’t have to use it, but to tell someone else not to use it at all even to identify themselves is peek wacko behavior) and if they don’t want to be identified as queer, that’s fine too, but I draw the line when someone disrespects somebody else’s identity. If a person is bothered because someone identifies as queer, that’s their problem, not to mention queerphobic. Also, trying to erase an entire word from existence is ridiculous.

no but actually this meme I made forever ago and never shared outside school

*jigsaw voice* your next challenge is to hold a normal conversation without mentioning how horny you are once

AROACE AND QUEER (OR NOT) PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP OR NOTHING. ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Waiter! More aroace representation in modern media, please!! And add some extra queer platonic relationships on top!!

sex and love is for the weak (insert aroace flag slowly fading in)

AroAce Umbrella

In this post, I will discus the following terms: AroAce, Angled AroAce, Oriented AroAce, AroAceFlux, and AroAceSpike.

Let's start with AroAce.

A person who identifies as AroAce experiences little to no romantic or sexual attraction. They don't look at someone and go, "Oh, they're cute. I wonder if they're seeing someone. And if not, I wonder if they'd like to go out with me." They don't look at someone and go, "Oh, they're hot. I wonder if they're down for Netflix and chill." They may, on the other hand, get to know someone and go, "Oh, they're such a cool person, and they share many of my interests. I wonder if they'd like to be my best friend for all eternity."

Now, let's move on to Angled AroAce.

An Angled AroAce experiences some romantic and sexual attraction, but this attraction falls solidly within both the aromantic and asexual spectrums. The romantic or sexual attraction they experience may feel nebulous and complicated. "Oh, that person's good looking. Would I want to ask them out on a date? Maybe not." In addition to experiencing some romantic and sexual attraction, they may also experience tertiary attraction, such as platonic, emotional (alterous), physical (sensual), and/or aesthetic.

Next, let's look at Oriented AroAce.

Oriented AroAces experience little to no romantic or sexual attraction, but they do experience a strong tertiary attraction. Many who identify as oriented AroAce will also identify with another orientation label, but they only identify with this label in a nonromantic and nonsexual way. For example, a lesbian oriented AroAce may look at an attractive woman and go, "Oh, that woman's hot. But not in a sexual way. Most definitely in an aesthetic way."

On to AroAceFlux.

Note: I don't know if this is the correct flag.

AroAceFlux individuals experience a flux between their romantic and sexual orientations, but it always stays on the aro and ace spectrum. The flux can occur simultaneously or independently of each other. One day, you could experience no romantic and sexual attraction; and the next day, you could experience some romantic and no sexual attraction; and the day after that, you could experience no romantic and some sexual attraction. As the name implies, attraction is always in constant flux and motion. You may see someone and go, "Damn, I wonder if that person's single." You may see that same person at a different time and go, "They have nice eyes, I guess."

Lastly, let's look at AroAceSpike.

Note: I don't know if this is the correct flag.

AroAceSpike individuals generally don't feel any romantic or sexual attraction, but they will occasionally feel a strong romantic or sexual attraction for a brief moment of time. Some will use only this term to describe their sexual orientation while others will use an additional orientation label. They'll use this additional label to describe the type of romantic or sexual attraction they periodically feel. For example, a biromantic AroAceSpike individual will periodically feel romantic attraction towards the opposite and same gender as themselves; whereas, a homosexual AroAceSpike individual will periodically feel sexual attraction towards the same gender as themselves. They may see someone and go, "Oh, they're so pretty. I could just drown in their eyes." A brief moment later, they look at this same person and go, "Oh, never mind. Whatever I felt for them before has gone."

I would like to close this post by saying that I fall solidly under the AroAce term. Never in my life have I experienced sexual or romantic attraction. I have experienced emotional and aesthetic attraction but not necessarily in regards to people. I react to a beautiful painting the same way that I react to someone who has very beautiful eyes. "Ah, that's pretty." And after that brief thought, I simply get on with the rest of my day. As a result, I may not have given the best descriptions or examples of Angled AroAce, Oriented AroAce, AroAceFlux, or AroAceSpike.

If you are AroAce and disagree with any of my definitions or would like to share your own AroAce experiences, please leave a comment in the notes. I just love connecting with all my fellow AroAces out there in the digital realm.

And if you're not AroAce, I'd still like to hear from you. Especially the other folks on the aro and ace spectrum. ❤️

Well, that's all I have for today. Until next time, take care and stay curious.

Agree !

I never met an aroace person in real life unfortunately...💔

I wish I can know what is it to felt comfortable around someone without being stress and uncomfortable...

I feel kinda lonely as an aroace person for about twenty years now. 😔

Plus, I don't mind to be in queer platonic relationship with another aroace person, regardless about their gender or non-gender identity.

all i can think to say rn is that it's insane how safe it feels to be around other aroaces

"aroace people aren't a part of community because they don't get oppressed"

dudes/gals/comrades, you literally are an example of aroace oppression.

like

you know, there's a thing called amatonormativity. like. sex-normativity or what is it called, ykwim.

and the fact you're denying our oppression is ironic.

Crocodile's "my children and/ or my man are up to something" senses are tingling.

I have no idea what kind of AU this is but I just wanted to draw this idea X'D

Luffy's around somewhere, probably wandering off while Crocodile is in his meeting.

I gave up trying to draw Iva how they look in canon before I even started. You get Steffi style Iva.

all aphobia is connected

allonormative people think that a “full” relationship needs platonic attraction, romantic attraction, and sexual attraction.

their view is challenged when someone’s idea of a full relationship doesnt include them all. it feels not full to them. so they think the person who lacks their ideal relationship isnt full. they assume they are broken.

this is a phenomenon i have seen over and over.

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HIM.

ughh him at 40 is so MMMFHGGFHUJVKUVIFHKDJDSLK the way we're growing old together :3 WE DO IT EVEN WHEN HIS BUSH HAIRS TURN GRAY or idk maybe i really REALLY like him with stubble BUT?? HES HOT WITH STUBBLE LIKE IM SNIFFING THE SCREEN SO HARD UGHH I CAN SMELL HIS MERA MERA

Well, they clean up nice!

I want to read fluff and smut heacanons and fanfictions about A͟k͟a͟s͟h͟i͟ S͟e͟i͟j͟u͟r͟o͟ X͟ R͟e͟a͟d͟e͟r͟ X͟ N͟a͟s͟h͟ G͟o͟l͟d͟ J͟r͟ i͟n͟ a͟ p͟o͟l͟y͟r͟o͟m͟a͟n͟t͟i͟c͟ r͟e͟l͟a͟t͟i͟o͟n͟s͟h͟i͟p͟ BUT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ONE AND YES I COULD WRITE SOME MYSELF BUT WRITING IS NOT MY STRONG POINT...!!

I have an Oc in a polyromantic relationship with these two and can writing about them but I'm lazy, don't have the energie and like I said, writing has never been my strong point so...

Still hoping to find at least one well-written one day... ;-;💔

Wearing your rival face on your crotch to assert dominance.

Bonus their wedding ring close up!

aphobes, queer or not, are inherently insecure people; they can't imagine someone not wanting to date them because their self-worth is tied to their dating/sex life. it's a symptom of amatonormativity, which is ingrained so deeply in society. it's both sad and infuriating.

Why do my friends keep coming to me for relationship advice, literally all you will get from me is either "communicate", "break up", or "leave him in a ditch to die"

“Are you gay?”

“No I’m not”

“It’s okay to be gay!!”

“I know it is but I’m not”

“You don’t have to hide!!”

“I’m not hiding I’m just not gay”

“Take pride in who you are!!”

“I am proud”

“So you are gay?”

“I’m not gay”

“Why aren’t you dating anyone?”

“I don’t want to”

“But why?”

“Because I don’t have to”

“Are you gay?”

“No.”

"well actually repulsed aro/aces can still be in relationships/have sex" SHUT. UP. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. I know! IM ROMANCE REPULSED!! but if you even tried to ship me (and a few of you did) i would come at you with KNIVES. STOP SPEAKING FOR "all aro/acespecs" YOU DONT. SHUT UP

As an Aromantic, Asexual and Agender person i have made only one decision in my entire life and that decision was

✨ NO ✨

Serious question and just to know :

Is there a country where arocace people can feel safe, are not discriminated against and are protected ?? Especially a law that protects us or etc ?

I know that anglophone aroace people talk about Denmark because there are apparently a lot of people on the aro and ace spectrums.

Just asking cause I'm fck tired of allo society every day since many years now and also tired of all arophobia et acephobia on social media in the first place. 💀

And in my sh*tty country it's always "lgbT", hOMo, bI and transgender. WHAT ABOUT THE D*MN + ??????? ALWAYS ABOUT ALLOS PP FCK DAMMIT. 💀

(Of course : generality =/= globality !!!! Cause I don't hate all allos pp obviously. Some are decents, respectfull , share same values as mine and infinity open mind.)

•°•°•°•°•°•

My mood :

Second gif is for allos bigots, allo society and all their fck pathetic and disgusting sh*ts.

I hate you infinitely.

his world getting more colorful? Gross
