I know and understand why a lot of allos don't get how big a deal it is to some of us that Ryland Grace is aroace coded, cause it doesn't seem as big as being gay or trans coded. but like. it's a huge fuckin win for us to have a wildly successful, fabulously done movie star a very aromantic asexual coded character. we don't get rep like that. at best, sometimes good shows have aspec characters, but they're like robotic and weird (usually bc only autistic coded characters get ace coded, and often poorly). but yes!! aroace, queerplatonic, (agender,) and autistic coded characters!! in a big-fuckin-deal movie!! it's so cool!!
it's in the book too, which is awesome by itself, but movies often get muuuuch more recognition than novels.
