Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.

Yaaaay! I feel like I haven’t gotten too many asks regarding them.

So let’s go in order.

Dropletshine is a Molly, she’s very uninterested in romance, it’s not out of the realm for her and she’s open to having a mate. But unless someone asks her about it, she doesn’t think about romance. I could see her being demisexual with no specific preference.

Kelpjay is also a Molly, and she is very interested in romance. She is only interested in toms and would love to have a mate or two in the near future.

Coralheart is a Molly and she’s probably the most normal about romance. To her it would be nice but it’s not something she’s perusing or thinking about often. She has a preference for mollies but is open to gibs and toms.

The catch is I’m AroAce. I truly don’t think I’ve ever felt that way towards anyone. My comphet relationship swiftly turned into friendship when we broke up as I began realizing who I was. So swiftly I’m confident I never romantically loved him, we just have a strong platonic bond.

So to have these dreams where I feel those butterflies, that warmth when I see them walking towards me, the fire when we kiss…. Only to wake up and realize it’s only a fantasy for me.

Maybe I’m wrong. Actually I would love to be proven wrong and have someone enter my life and dismantle these labels I’ve identified with if I could feel those ways in reality. But after almost 30 years and that’s never occurred? It’s unlikely.

And it hurts to be reminded of what I don’t have; what I don’t feel. It helps that Alice Oseman posted a comic perfectly depicting this feeling. I feel less alone.

And that’s all it ever was…

…A MIRAGE

Original artwork inspired by Alice Oseman’s “Loveless,” and the feeling of discovering you’re aspec

Georgia's story is my story. I love reading and writing fanfiction, I enjoy shipping, I live my life imagining my favorite characters falling in love different scenarios or having happy lives together.

I also figured out I was aroace in college, I would wonder if I would find a guy like the ones that made me sigh during those late nights reading reader insert fanfiction or on the movies and TV series I enjoyed, but the times guys approached in a romantic way I turned them down I thought it was because I didn't like them specifically, now I know it's because those experiences have never been appealing to me.

Been thinking about the book Loveless lately, so I couldn’t resist drawing some fanart of Georgia!

After I started reading Heartstopper, my friend recommended Loveless to me. All throughout I related to Georgia even more than I had any fictional character in the past. During the scene when Sunil was telling Georgia was asexual and aromantic meant, I teared up.

That was the moment I realized I’m aroace.
