Don't forget this is the new asexual flag

Meant to be more intersectional

That doesn't mean you can't still use the ORIGINAL asexual flag. That's the classic. The one everyone recognizes.

But the new one is the one that's my profile banner (mostly because my previous banner was a flag that a follower made for me to include brown and black stripes to represent asexual people of color during the BLM movement, but this one was made by an actual black asexual person to be more inclusive so it's better)

So....

New asexual flag. This also includes other asexual people that don't feel well represented. Physically disabled asexual people. Asexual women. Asexual people that still experience a libido. Asexual people that experience low sexual attraction. Asexual people that don't fit the stereotypes of being "pure" or "prudes" (I know I write some of the kinkiest shit out there).

Love you all!

Things to avoid:

Any situation involving an abuser and a victim (for example, a psychically/emotionally anisove bully and a weaker peer).

A rush to romance. The story doesn’t have to be a slow burn per se, but the enemies have a lot to overcome before the can before lovers so don’t skip ahead to the end.

Why do they hate each other?

It’s important for your characters to have a concrete reason to be enemies, otherwise when they overcome their hatred and fall in love, nothing feels accomplished.

The reason can be broad (see the list linked below) or specific. As long as it’s any reason other than “they just despise each other”, you should be good.

Don’t make the reason they hate each other impossible to overcome. If it’s something completely unforgivable, they won’t be able to love each other despite it.

Reasons for your characters to hate each other

Why do they start to love each other?

Now that they hate each other, it’s time for them to fall in love.

When designing your characters, make sure they have characteristics in common to insure that they have some grounds for a relationship.

They need to overcome the thing that makes them hate each other, either realising that they had the wrong impression of each other or that their differences don’t matter.

They start seeing each other has humans instead of just enemies.

How to get them to fall in love

Enemies to lovers is slow paced. It’s really more enemies to understanding to acceptance to friends to lovers (most of the time). They don’t just wake up one morning and realise “oh damn, I’m in love”.

They realise they have things in common (childhoods, interests, goals, etc.).

One of them learns something about the other that causes them to change how they think of them.

On the way to falling in love, your characters will experience other feelings (denial, lust, etc.). Explore these feelings to help flesh out the characters, their relationship and make their romance more realistic.
