Yup that's right, Sonic the Hedgehog is an asexual (or aroace) in my headcanon and you can't change a thing about it. I'm right, you're wrong, go home. 😆

Come to think of it, hints of his asexuality stem from the fact that he has no time to slow down for a relationship. He's always out running across the world, foiling the notorious schemes of his arch-enemy Dr. Eggman. Plus, he doesn't have time to go out on dates with any of the girls canon-wise, especially Amy. And even when he does, he gets sent to the Arthurian world while waiting for her at a chili dog stand. It's all a pure coincidence. 😅

While he does have romantic implications, especially with Princess Elise (even if her debut game's events were erased by the end), I don't think he's quite ready to settle down for a long-term relationship yet. He's only 15, so that's a bit of a gap between the age of consent and all that. And even when he does become +18, he just loves to run around more than start dating someone out of the blue. It's just how he lives.

Odo is a shape-shifter, the only member of his species that he or anyone else on the Deep Space 9 space station knows of. Odo is also an asexual being - prior to the episode, "The Forsaken", he has mentioned multiple times (usually to Quark) that he finds any sort of sexual relationship a waste of time, an annoyance, and even repulsive.

In "The Forsaken", Odo is pursued by Lwaxana Troi. Odo goes to Sisko and not only tells him about Troi's unwanted advances, but explains how uncomfortable he feels, and he asks Sisko to do something about it. Odo is, clearly, a victim of sexual harassment. Lwaxana is harassing Odo - and her belief that it's "harmless fun" has nothing to do with it. Harassment is in the eye of the one being harassed. Odo is clearly not interested in a sexual relationship with Lwaxana. He isn't simply embarrassed by her unwanted advances: he feels uncomfortable, and it's even affected his work.

Yet Sisko ignores everything Odo says. Sisko does not take Odo's complaints seriously. He even suggests Odo should just lie down and take it. That Odo go ahead and have some fun with Lwaxana, and it will be a new experience. It's unclear if Sisko is so dismissive of Odo's feelings because he perceives Odo as "male" and therefore thinks a man cannot be harassed by a woman (which would be another problem) or if he's just clueless that as an Asexual Being, Odo just wants to be left alone in that aspect. And what makes it worse, is that in one of the earlier episodes of ST: DS9 we see Sisko counseling a Dabo girl, telling her that Quark cannot demand sexual favors of her as part of her job. Yet Odo is told that if a visiting ambassador wants to demand sex from him, well, he should lie down and take it?

Louis (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/UiNb/Zh47qq03cJ “ Got an impression that there is too little asexuality in fiction? Yeah, me too. So here's my take on it. Larry, an asexual young archaeologist, has a romantic interest. As expected, there are troubles on his way.”

Ya’ll!! So this is one of my favorite stories of all time, and as an a-spec person, it 100% speaks to me. I get so emotional every time I read it, and I feel the need to share it with you guys because it needs recognition. It makes me feel understood and like I’m not alone. None of you are either, and I hope that if you take the time to read this story, you can feel the way I always do after reading it.
