Made a single ilustration for both of them not only cuz they shared a flag, but because their relationship is just very very important to me. They get to dance with queer joy

Snufkin: aroace/a-spec - bisexual - transgender

Moomintroll: bisexual - genderqueer

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.
