Ace - Blog Posts
l am Demisexual and Demiromantic but l hope it still proves your point :)
I need to prove a point to my mom. Reblog if you can realize you’re asexual/aromantic in your teens.
Happy Halloween & Asexual Awareness Week!
Here’s Gwenpool cat prepping for spooky season.
Here are some bonus alternate versions I made with different shading and some recolored with the colors of the asexual flag, using the color gradient tool on Procreate.
what about sex-repulsed aro-ace people who like making lewd jokes and innuendos for the sake of irony? (me)
Reblog this if you support sex-averse and sex-repulsed aces, including:
Aces who never want to have sex
Aces who had sex in the past but don't desire it anymore
Aces with sexual trauma who feel like their trauma ties into their asexuality
Aces with sexual trauma who don't feel like their trauma caused their asexuality
Aces who don't want to talk to you about sex
Aces who don't want to hear about sex
Yes even aces who do not want to engage with any sexual content and don't want it in their own personal spaces
Yes even aces who express the desire to have more spaces for queer adults where their boundaries are met (on top of the queer spaces that exist, we do not want to sanitize your existing spaces ffs)
If you cannot be normal about these people existing, if you believe they're a threat to our community and to how we're viewed by people who aren't aspec and the rest of the LGBTQ+ community, you are not an asexual ally. Yes, even if you're aspec yourself. Especially if you're aspec yourself.
Because it's been pride month for 4 days and I'm already seeing people trying to throw us under the bus or pretend we don't exist because that makes the ace community more palatable to exclusionists and people who swallowed too much "aces are puritans" propaganda.
Happy Late International Ace Day! :D
Take a slice, guys ☺️
funny story i was reading your bio and my heart genuinely stopped when i saw aro-ace exclusionist like. HELLO?? and then i remembered the start says DNI
thanks for the support man 😭😭
Of fucking course! I'm ace so I totally understand how frustrating it is to see others exclude us and aro people so I wanted to make it known that anyone who wants to exclude aro and/or ace peeps aren't allowed.
ACE FEI IS CANON WE WON
Actually screaming on the inside at how they basically told queerphobes and exclus to please fuck off and explicitly included us aspecs even beyond aesthetics like the pride flags and nail polishes
This, just this.
"Amatonormativity permeates more than TV shows and books. It is woven into our legal rights, creating forms of discrimination that become more and more apparent as people age. Romantic love within marriage confers privileges that other forms of devotion cannot, including over 1,100 laws that benefit married couples at the federal level. Spouses can share each other’s health insurance, as well as military, social security, and disability benefits. They can make medical decisions for each other. Companies grant bereavement leave for spouses, no questions asked, but there will be more hesitation if leave is requested for a mere friend. It is possible to marry a stranger and give them your health insurance but not possible to give health insurance to a parent...
Criteria based on sex made sense when the main purpose of marriage was to merge fortunes and produce children, but today...marriage is more about a match of devotion than a match of trade. In many cases, the point is no longer to create an heir and a spare. Plenty of married couples don’t have children (or sex, for that matter), and bad marriages with little caring are common...
Offering legal and social benefits only to the romantically attached suggests that the mere presence of romantic feeling elevates the care and deserves special protections, even though friendship and other forms of care, which can come with less obligation, can include more love, more freely given. Therefore, the legal and social privileges of marriage should be extended to all mutually consenting adults who wish for them...
'In terms of policy, marriage law really reaches into all areas of law, like tax and immigration and property,' ... 'It doesn’t matter if it’s different-sex only or same-sex marriage, so long as we restrict marriage to romantic and sexual partners we will ensure amatonormativity.' Reforming marriage law by abolishing it altogether or extending marriage-like rights to friends (to small groups or networks) is one way to eradicate discrimination."
Angela Chen, Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex
I feel very much the same way. I have a sad feeling that my friends will never know because the thought of non-sexual love will never cross their minds.
I want to be out but I don’t want to have to come out over and over again I don’t want people to question my sexuality when I tell them I’m ace I want the world to already know what asexuality is/what it entails and just have it be a chill, accepted thing I don’t want to be thought of as a freak or made fun of for not wanting sex
Bachelorette Party
My friend is getting married, and I’m a bridesmaid. Now I face my newest pressing fear. The Bachelorette Party. I am dreading this thing. I am not sex repulsed, more of a sex neutral, but still not a fan. And this party is going to be awful. Mostly because of the Thing. Penises. Lots and lots of penises. There will be cakes, straws, confetti, banners, games, fake ones, and (of all horrors) real ones.
I feel like I only have two options. Play along, pretend I’m interested and having fun, or decline the penis themed objects and food and be a buzz kill (story of my life). The last thing I want to happen is to be strong armed into explaining my orientation. I know these women; add booze to any occasion and they will nag at me until I give in and ‘enjoy it’ or explain myself.
The bride knows I am asexual, but the rest of the bridal party doesn’t know. I don’t have a particularly good relationship with a few of the bridesmaids and in simple terms: I NEVER want to talk about it with them.
A proud Claudette for ace week in a more round style ive been trying out!!
I headcanon her as ace (more specifically aroace) and i’m glad I got around to this! I love her so much
I’m so glad I found asexuality as a label. It’s helped me a lot, and finding people like me was just so reassuring. Wishing everyone (and especially my fellow acespecs) a wonderful rest of the week <3 <3
IT’S ACE WEEK!
finding a term that you’ve never heard before but it resonating with you so deeply is a really cool experience
and that is why research on queer identities, whether gender, sexuality, or romance, is so needed!

charlie dalton is a closeted sex repulsed/neutral asexual.
i'm not taking criticism.
Why the hell am I only hearing about this at 23:02?!?!?
HAPPY ACE DAY BABES!!!!
Hey what if we reblogged out ace specifications to show the diversity of the ace spectrum?!
I’ll start and if ya want let’s keep it going!
I’m AroAce and I personally am sex-neutral. I wouldn’t have sex but I’m not repulsed by it and even enjoy reading smut on occasion. I don’t really like the concept of being in a relationship but am open to QPRs.
Love y’all!!
🖤🤍💜
today is the first international asexuality day! on this day, we celebrate those that are under the ace umbrella, including demisexual, gray-asexual, and all kinds of other ace identities.
asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity.
asexuality is valid. asexuality exists.
if you are an allosexual person, check in with your friends that are in the ace spectrum today! let them know you are with them every step of the way. and educate those who do not know what asexuality is.
and for us in the spectrum, let's use this day to celebrate our identity! we are in this together, let's not lose the community spirit. we have enough love for everyone.
sending love to my people, happy asexuality day!
So this is the beginning of a story I wrote. I wanted it to be more visible so I’m posting it here. Art will eventually be posted with it. It has been edited.
So I present to you,
Demons and Drag.
The flickering lights of their crappy agency was annoying the demon who was gazing at her reflection in the dirty mirror as she applied her lipstick.
"Surri, hurry up. Boss said he wants this job done before midnight," her brother called into the room while passing by.
"Yeah, yeah, Anitri. I'll be right there." She called back.
She brushed her fingers along her foxish ears, making sure there hairs were all facing the same direction, and arose from her seat. She walked out of the room, hips swaying with her tail, the way any sucubus in this industry would.
"Ready?" She asks her brother.
"Always," he answered, his fangs showing with his sly smile.
***
"Lemme get this straight," Jem said, in full drag attire. "You want me, to let you, someone who has no experience, go up on my stage and sing your pretty little heart out because your 'daddy' will pay me to?"
The girl nodded, insistently.
Jem sighed, placing a manicured hand to their face.
"Listen darling, that's not how it works here. We have people who have been doing this for years performing, and if they're new we've screened them, they've auditioned, and we've scheduled their performance. We don't just let anyone who wants to perform on a whim on my stage. If you want to perform on my stage, we can discuss this later but right now I've got a show to start." They finish and turn to take to the stage.
Dress billowing, Coco Rose stands center stage and starts the night.
"Welcome all you morally ambiguous people!"
***
"We're here," Anitri said, glancing at his phone. "Target is Dr. Nano Gunther. Has been proven to overdose patients with mal intention, forcing patients to add him into their will then killing them off, purposefully botching surgeries, this guys a sicko. And he's all yours."
Surri glares at him, his smirk still on his face when she faces the door.
"Piece of cake," she says as she strides into the club in her short black dress.
She walks right up to the bar and takes a seat, glancing the stage where a bubbly drag queen was preforming a rather childish song. When she returned her attention to the bar another queen was to be seen, mixing drinks. She had on a rosy dress that poofed out from the waist down.
"What can I get you, darling?" they asked.
"A glass of wine would be marvelous," Surri said sweetly.
"Coming right up, sugar" the queen said.
While the queen was working on getting the wine and glass, Surri's eyes scanned the club for her target.
"Who you lookin for?" The queen asked, pushing the wine towards Surri.
"Oh no one, I just like to people watch."
"Well, people round here are pretty interesting, I'm Coco Rose."
"Surri, Surri Turazora."
"Nice to meet you, Surri."
"Likewise."
Coco leaned over the bar and whispered, "You shouldn't leave your phone on, he's in the third booth from the bathrooms."
Surri's eyes widened and she quickly turned off her phone, then her eyes watched Coco Rose to see what their reaction was but they were cleaning glasses a few feet over.
Surri got out of her seat and walked away, shaking her head at the interaction.
She found the booth and walked by with her head held high, her hip out and her tail a-swaying. She can feel the Doctor's eyes on her as she heads to small table by the stage. She spots her brother in the corner of her eye, talking to Coco Rose, the drag queen from earlier.
After a few minutes, the doctor slides into the chair across from Surri.
"Hey, babygirl," he said, trying to seem attractive.
He was thin and tall, with short black hair and dull blue eyes. The only interesting thing about him was the scar that was on his jaw.
"Hiya handsome, come here often," Surri asked, in her sweetest voice.
"From time to time, you here alone?"
Red flag.
"Oh yeah, I was scouting the place out for my friends bachelorette party."
"Good," he said, sliding closer to her.
She cringed internally, he's just like most of her marks. A totally creep, who wouldn't know how to except a no if it kicked him in the nuts.
He chats her up a bit while the drag queen finishes her song and asks her if she wants to come with him somewhere a bit more private.
Spotting her opening she agrees and goes along with him, trying not to gag as his arm wraps around her waist.
They head to one of the private rooms that he apparently rented out.
'This is it,' Surri thought to herself as the Doctor sat in a chair, legs apart, patting his lap.
She walked up to him, placed her hand on his shoulder and sat in his lap.
He leaned close to her.
His sudden intake of breath was heard clearly through the room. He pushed her off of him and clutched his side.
She flicked her dagger to get some of the blood off it before turning her gaze back towards him.
"But I thought you were into pain, Sir," she said, knowing full and well that he wanted to correct her but as her poisoned laced dagger had made its mark, he knew it was a fruitless effort.
"Why," he breathed out as he crumbled to the floor.
"Because you are a disgusting creature that no one deserves to encounter."
And with that she stabbed him through his head.
...
Jem is watching the entrance to one of their private rooms that they saw that Surri chick head through with that creep. They let out a very soft sigh when they saw her leave the room, unharmed, but alone.
Jem watched Surri approach that tall, lanky fellow they meet earlier. Anitri. They look similar, twins perhaps?
They left after a few words.
Jem slide out from behind the bar, signaling for Delphine Lulu to take over.
They walked over to the room and opened the door slowly, hand ready to grab their pepper spray from their skirt if necessary, only to be shocked at the sight.
The creep lay crumpled on the floor, head twisted, two stab wounds; both of which were green and foaming.
Dead.
"Now I have to replace the carpet again," Jem muttered.
...
"Anitri, are you sure about this?" Surri asked him as they entered the lobby of the apartment building. They were going to meet with a person who was looking for some new roommates.
They stood in the elevator, Anitri swaying along to the music while he fiddled with the sleeves of his crimson sweater. Surri just picked at her nails, she had got blood on them the other night and it wouldn't come out, so she just made a design out of it.
The door opened and the walked a ways down the hall and knocked on the door.
The person to open the door had short black hair that faded to a vibrant green. They were taller than Surri but shorter than Anitri and had dark brown skin with a blotchy pinkish birthmark on their left shoulder. They looked unimpressed.
They stared the twins down for a second before they spoke.
"Oh, your the ones who murdered that guy at my bar."
This is probably the only thin I’ll ever post but here we go.
Asexuality.
It’s completely normal. Just likes it’s completely normal for some people to be interested in sex.
Sex is like... a side quest. Y’know in video game.
It’s not necessary to complete your goal most of the time unless it’s a specific goal, and even then there can be ways around it, that could be likened to cheat codes. Some people enjoy side quests, some like them occasionally, others like to play them constantly; sometimes hindering their process on their main goal. And some people hate them in general.
That’s not to say ace people can’t have sex or that all are sex repulsed, it’s just an example. Some people don’t typically do the side quests but will occasionally endulge in them. Whether because they want to or because they want to share the experience with someone. That doesn’t make them any less of an gamer in that sense, so why would it an ace occasionally having sex make them any less ace.
As an ace, I’m not met with prejudice on the daily, unlike some people, but having people tell you that your sexuality doesn’t exist because you just haven’t blossomed yet is... Brainwashing. That’s probably not the best term but I can’t think of a better on. Drilling the idea that sex is something that you are supposed to o and except and like to be fully developed is a horrible thing to insinuate.
I don’t expect people to get better about this, people are horny, but that’s my two cents.
BEWARE— I mean BE AWARE!! ♠️💜
it is ASEXUALITY AWARENESS WEEK so you are all LEGALLY OBLIGATED to be FULLY AWARE of me at ALL TIMES.
He's not JUST Asexual. :3 (Ansexual)
An absence of interest in any form of s3xual attraction, pleasure, or engagement, whether one engages in it themselves or observes others doing it, is known as ansexuality. It can also be used to express hatred for the idea or practice of having s3xual feelings. This does not indicate that the person despises others or themselves; rather, it just means that the person abhors the idea of s3xual attraction in general and dislikes or even despises the way s3x and/or genitalia are presented.
