both very funny and awfully frustrating that people will be like “just because this character is aromantic doesn’t mean they can’t be romance-favourable / in a romantic relationship 🥺” and then the character in question is canonically like “i hate romance so much it’s unreal”
i say this as someone who’s aro and as romance-favourable as they come btw. like if you’re not aro and are absolutely dead set on shipping aro characters, fine i guess. can’t really stop you. but somehow ppl are always doing it to the ones who are like “i despise romantic advances from all genders. the idea of being in a relationship with someone makes me genuinely sick. if anyone flirts with me, i WILL kill myself” like come on man 😭
#a bit random but#the Eternally regressing Knight#is the first almost canon aro/ace character I've ever seen#he never says it out loud and is build like a yaoi protagonist#but he is so uninterested and oblivious to romance and sexual attraction he has to be aro/ace#there is this whole joke romance between him and an elf where everyone assume they are an item#and she starts getting on the joke#and now it's a running gag between them that they've been married and divorced a few times now#but there is ZERO sparks between them. They are just barely buddies. It's more a matter of trust than anything#anyway#I can't imagine this guy in a romance#he never says anything that prevents it. But he's just... like... not even in the game
