You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.
You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT. I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.
I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.
I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.
I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.
I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.
Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?
UPDATE: Okay, wow. I had no idea this post was gonna blow up like this. 😂 Like THIS MANY people want these kinds of stories too? I'm shook.
So, uh...*pulls collar nervously* I actually publish stories like this? I'm the author of a YA horror-fantasy series called The Stormwatch Diaries. Long story short, I'm republishing the first three books to fully explore my main characters' asexuality and aromanticism.
So if you're looking for an aspec relationship dynamic that involves:
Being in love with your best friend
It's mutual
You're both ace
And aro? Demiromantic?? Qoiromantic??? WHO KNOWS
You're a bonded pair and cannot be adopted separately
Oh, and there's graveyard cuddle time
Then maybe *sweats*...maybe you'd like to check out my first book Legend of the Storm Sneezer, which is coming out on Asexual Visibility Day next year? (April 6th, 2026.)
