#aro comic

The difference between romance and friendship is subjective so pls don't treat this as the way to differentiate between a crush and a squish

Please enjoy this little snippet of a scene that’s been rolling around my head like a loose marble these past few days.

It feels good to draw the heroes reborn kiddos again. Also I love Hamish & Cassie’s friendship.

Definitely check this out if you’re aro, questioning, or simply want to know more about what that looks like. I relate to this as a greyromantic, so I really love this 💚💚

I wanted to include asexuality in this comic, since it’s asexual awareness week, so I went with the theme of ‘invisible identities’. Being nonbinary, being asexual, and being aromantic are all things that are... not well known. Coming out often involves a vocabulary lesson, people sometimes accuse you of making the whole thing up, or you’re pressured to choose a side: male or female, gay or straight*. But they’re all real things, and the people who really care about you will put in the effort to understand.

The flag badges appear in the order I realised they applied to me: first ace, then aro, then nonbinary.

*Bi and pan people get that too, but this comic focusses on my own identities.
