I have an aroace character in my object show (Book) and seeing how fandoms treat aroace characters makes me want him to randomly look at the camera and say “I’m disgusted by the idea of being in a romantic or sexual relationship with someone” in the middle of an chapter, and then the chapter continues like normal after that. I also want to put an aroace sticker on him, it was in one of his earlier designs but I kept forgetting it so I just took it off. But even if I did both of those people would try to find some subtext that makes him not as disgusted by non-platonic relationships and just make him ‘broken’ like they view all aroace people
He doesn’t want a relationship. He feels no attraction. He likes seeing other people in a relationship because it makes them happy and he likes to play matchmaker, but it’s not for him. I don’t want to see him shipped with other characters, also partially because he’s a minor and the cast is mainly adults with like 3 minors total outside of flashbacks.
Yes, aroace people can be in relationships, aroace is a spectrum and isn’t just “I feel 0 attraction whatsoever and want to vomit at any relationship I see”, but not all aroace people want to be in relationships or feel attraction. He doesn’t want to be in a relationship. Also this:
I know at the end of the day he’s fictional, but I have this representation for a reason. Stop erasing representation for aroace people that don’t want a relationship at all

For this one, we have Rye Oak. She has sort of a protector complex. She's always looking for something to shield and protect, and when she doesn't have anything to keep safe, she has no idea what to do.
Pronouns: She/Her
Species: Floral elf
Identity: Aroace
Story They're In: Evergreen
(Here's her backstory, if you're interested.)
She was the first child of Lily Oak. Her mother had had her as an older teen and the father had left the relationship and ditched her when he found out about the pregnancy. So Rye grew up thinking that if her mother got into any other relationship, she'd get betrayed again. So she actively pushed away every man her mother tried to form a relationship. This failed with Forest Hazel though. He kept staying no matter what she threw at him and treated her like his daughter. Eventually she learned to trust him though, after she saw that he really loved her and her mother. Eventually, Lily got pregnant though, and Rye was certain Forest was going to leave them. But he didn't, he actually stayed and got to see Rye and the new baby, Fern, grow until he died when Fern was 5 and Rye was 11. The family mourned him, and Rye lost yet another father. A year later, their village was raided by humans, and Lily was killed trying to protect her children. None of the adults in the village survived, and the children were captured and brought to the human kingdom to wait in the dungeons till they were twelve and old enough to be sold. Rye was the oldest of them, already being twelve, and the king wanted to give her to his daughter as a playmate since she was Rye's age and her former playmate had escaped while the king was away at battle. That former playmate had killed the queen during her escape, and the king needed to make sure his daughter was safe with Rye, so he threatened Fern if she didn't comply. She ended up serving the princess to keep Fern safe though, and served her for many years till she escaped and joined a resistance to free the elves from human rule and get her brother back.
“at first I thought that meant I was pansexual, because I was equally attracted to everyone—which meant … not at all. Having a temporary crush on a celebrity or a fictional character like Gojo or Levi has been the closest I’ve ever been to feeling any sort of attraction. But it feels too removed, like a faraway fascination.” - Shapes of Love; LV Penalba

Happy pride month, Tulren is hardcore aroace no romance or anything 🖤🩶🤍💚🖤🩶🤍💜
Idk, he just doesn’t and there’s no greater reason besides he just doesn’t got the want or need to.
The only bonds he cares about is familial, I mean like he chose that to be a hard principle. Look feelings are hard man and I’m not aspd expert but there’s like this unseen, shapeless idea that says this person is important and you care about them. and he so happens to pick his papa as #1 person in the entire world, all principles and values he really sticks by comes from him. Don’t be stinky, don’t be rude and your 1st family is your number one priority. Be ready to throw everyone else under the bus-
World's Most Dedicated Third Wheel-Lucy Quinzell — Aro/Ace Pride Month One-Shot
Summary : Lucy Quinzell's favorite hobby is following Damian Wayne and Katherine Kyle around and making their lives significantly more chaotic.
Five times Lucy third-wheeled the spooky couple and one time they returned the favor.
The Gala
"Thirty minutes."
Damian looked up.
"What?"
Lucy pointed across the ballroom with a stolen shrimp.
"Katherine is currently in the south hall pretending she isn't checking her phone every thirty seconds."
Damian immediately started walking.
"There he goes," Lucy sighed.
Twenty-two minutes later Dick appeared.
"Have you seen Damian?"
"No."
Dick narrowed his eyes.
Lucy took another shrimp.
"He could be anywhere."
Across the ballroom, Damian and Katherine were hiding behind a marble column sharing cheesecake.
Lucy considered this community service.
Patrol
The click of heels echoed across the rooftop.
Robin froze.
Stray froze.
Lucy waved.
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?" Katherine asked.
"What are you doing here?" Lucy replied.
"We patrol."
Lucy looked between them.
"You don't usually patrol together."
Katherine coughed.
Damian looked away.
Interesting.
Lucy nodded.
"Good talk."
She turned around.
"Wait."
"No."
"Lucy."
"Nope."
"You're literally on patrol."
Lucy stopped.
Slowly turned.
"And you're literally patrolling with Katherine."
Silence.
Lucy smiled.
"Tell your boyfriend I said hi."
"KATHERINE IS NOT—"
Lucy's grappling hook fired.
"Sure, Damian."
Coffee Shop
Three exhausted college students occupied an entire booth.
Damian studied organic chemistry.
Katherine highlighted legal documents.
Lucy decorated a dinosaur with glitter.
"Lucy."
"Hm?"
"Why is there glitter in my coffee?"
Lucy looked down.
There was glitter in his coffee.
"Magic."
Katherine laughed into her textbook.
"You're both horrible."
"You chose pre-law."
Damian pointed.
"You chose pre-med."
Lucy added another googly eye.
"Elementary education."
The other two stared.
Lucy smiled.
"I get paid to use glitter glue."
Neither had a response.
Post-Performance Flowers
Lucy's ballet recital ended.
Everyone got flowers.
Parents brought flowers.
Partners brought flowers.
Friends brought flowers.
Lucy sat backstage drinking a juice box.
A shadow fell across her.
Damian stood there holding a bouquet.
Behind him, Katherine held two more.
Lucy blinked.
"What happened?"
"You deserve flowers."
"For what?"
"You performed."
Katherine sat beside her.
"Damian discovered nobody bought you any."
"He looked personally offended."
"I was offended."
Lucy stared at them.
Then at the flowers.
Then back at them.
"You two are weird."
"We know."
Apartment
A crash echoed through the apartment.
Lucy looked up from the couch.
"...Huh."
Another crash.
Followed by yelling.
Followed by Katherine screaming.
Lucy wandered into the kitchen.
Nightwing was bleeding on the floor.
Robin was threatening him.
Katherine sat on the counter holding an ice pack.
Someone's shoe was hanging from the ceiling fan.
Dick pointed.
"You don't live here."
Lucy looked around.
Then back at Dick.
"Neither do you."
Katherine laughed so hard she nearly fell off the counter.
Emergency Room
Damian almost didn't answer the phone.
Unknown number.
Late at night.
Usually he ignored those.
Tonight he didn't.
"This is Thomas and Martha Memorial Hospital."
Damian was already standing.
"We have Lucy Quinn here."
"What happened?"
There was a pause.
"She attempted to jump from a second-story balcony into a bounce house."
Damian closed his eyes.
Of course she did.
Twenty minutes later he and Katherine arrived.
Lucy sat in a wheelchair with a broken leg and a stuffed dinosaur.
"What happened?" Katherine asked.
Lucy considered this.
"The bounce house moved."
"It was inflatable."
"It betrayed me."
Katherine laughed so hard she had to sit down.
Damian pinched the bridge of his nose.
Lucy smiled.
Some people got romance.
Lucy got two idiots willing to pick her up from the emergency room at midnight.
She thought she got the better deal.
Author's Note
Happy Pride Month! 💚🤍🩶🖤
This fic is part of my Pride Month challenge and my aro/ace spotlight for Lucy Quinzell.
Also, because I write a lot of poly ships, I feel the need to clarify: Lucy is not part of Damian and Katherine's relationship. She is simply the world's most dedicated third wheel.
The expanded version of this fic (with much longer scenes and significantly more chaos) will be posted on AO3. This Tumblr version is the condensed edition.
I love Lucy. I love Katherine. I love their friendship. And I wanted to write a story about an aro/ace character being deeply loved by her people.
