X line: Straight, Straight Leaning, Bi, Gay Leaning, Gay

Y line: Allo, Positive, Neutral, Negative, Repulsed

Z line: Real, Conventional, Conditional, Unconventional, Fantasy

Draw this in the middle of a piece of paper with the Z line a bit away from the X and Y so that when you fold it upwards it makes a corner.

This is the Ace Cube. There are many coordinates across the cube. Some people move their coordinates over time and experiences, others have more of a graphed area that describes roughly who or what they are

There is no problem with being 1,1,1, it's just as respectful as any other point in the cube. The problem is when you try to take the cube and remove multiple dimensions from it to the point where it's just the one dot. The 0th dimension if you will

I don't know if you'd be willing to visualize this, but I think it would be really cool if you did. (You can alter the lines/labels as you see fit)

Heya!

First off, thank you so much for the image, honestly I can see it clearly just based off your description and the point about how harmful it is to remove multiple dimensions is just so good, I really couldn't agree more. It's really as simple as that.

With that said, I think ima hot-potato the visualization to anyone who would like to do it, if y'all would want TwT I have several reasons for that, the first one being that this sounds like the kind of visualization that would be best done by someone who's good at geometry and/or 3D modeling, which I am neither of. TwT

Second, and this is a dumb one, but I like drawing comics best, with characters that have faces, so focusing on something that doesn't involve that might deplete my motivation.

Third, even if I do have express consent from you here, I don't necessarily feel comfortable drawing other people's ideas and post them here as if they were my own – especially if this was sent on anon and I don't have a name to give credit. That's also why I've never worked with a separate writer as a comic artist, among other things (the other things being, I don't have sufficient skills). The only exceptions would be if it's something I really feel I could illustrate well, like in my gut, or if it's out of specific conditions like that DTYIS challenge I made on my insta where the prize was a comic.

Sorry for the long message, just wanted to explain my reasons again TwT And sorry for said reasons, I know they're self-serving and subjective, but I hope they're understandable nonetheless TwT

Q-spec – Queer Spectrum, an umbrella term encompassing any queeric experience and any identity that is queer in nature.

It’s meant to be more inclusive than just being queer in the sense that some q-spec folks could identify not integrally/explicitly as queer, e.g. genderqueer, which is indirectly/implicitly queer by its suffix.
