Constantly torn between loving bloodymary because it's a fun crackship that allows Simon to get a happy ending and Grace to have another human and being really annoyed as an aroace person. Completely understanding the frustration a lot of others feel in finally getting a story that is 100% about strong platonic relationships and yet. And yet. Every allo person ever saw it and then completely threw out the obvious aroace coding in favor of shipping. Like they literally always do. (*cough cough* remembering the *canonically* ace character of Jonathan Sims and look. He can have sex. There are authors/artists who show him having sex and still being ace, and try to be clear about how that affects things and I love them. But so many of you don't even consider how his ace-ness would change the way he views it and it's kind of pissing me off--okay sorry for the derail.)

So I am once again asking all allo people who write bloodymary to make it just a little bit less strictly romantic and/or sexual.

Look, you don't have to stop shipping. I don't like telling people what they can and cannot enjoy, because I think that trying to decide what is "acceptable" to enjoy sucks so much joy out of fandom. But please for a moment at least consider an aroace lense to this.

Make them platonic. Make them a qpr (and I do mean genuinely changing how they interact with each other, not just throwing the label on it and calling it a day--like for example maybe kissing is fine but they don't make out. Or maybe how open Grace is to physical affection changes based on the day and they figure out a rhythm.) If you're dead set on romantic feelings--weird hill to die on but okay maybe you just want to write/draw them being intimate--you could make Grace demi and highlight how unusual of an experience this is and how out of his depth he feels. I'm also a fan of Simon being some flavor of aroace too, and I can only imagine intimacy was something he never really got to experience at all, or pushed down in favor of his other duties.

Just. Please I'm begging you. Look, I love shipping. I'm here with you guys. But don't have that be the end all be all, because it can be really disheartening to be constantly told "you'll find the right person" and "it'll happen eventually" and to have every where you look be filled to the brim with romance and sex, as though just a few experiences could somehow be the pinnacle of human experience. I am enough on my own, but it's hard to remember that when all of society tells you that you need another person to be fulfilled.

Reblogging with my comment on another post because I had a lot to say. And I'm honestly scared to post this because I don't want to rock the boat or ruin anyone else's enjoyment of the ship, frankly feel free to ignore me and move on with your life. But this is also my Opinions Blog where I can say whatever the fuck I want.

Can you guys see how this is annoying for aroace people? I guarantee there are many of you who don't even see this as aphobia, because it's not intentional. But it is a noticeable pattern that everything needs to be about love and sex and I'm not going to pretend that that messaging doesn't get to me sometimes. Just something to consider.

when Arthur said, “it's difficult to explain, having a home,” and John said, “I can only imagine. I have a home, it just holds no sentimental value to me.” and then John built a cathedral out of the bones of the man he loved, and said, “I felt the meat of your brain pass through my fingers clenched in fists of rage, and I felt home.” and when John said “strange to be in my own body again. I’d be lying if I said it felt like home,” and then he said, “I felt more whole being your eyes than I ever have in this body.” and when Arthur said, “welcome back”, and John said, “to the house? or the home?”

I need an Iron Lung x Malevolent crossover.

Finding a blood ocean and then fishing out a welded shut submarine and finding a guy inside just seems like something that would happen to Arthur.

Simon would probably deal remarkably well with the bullshit Arthur deals with. And Arthur wouldn’t judge him for what happened with filament station.

John might freak him out a bit though.

scrapped painting,, thought i might as well post it

[nikoriis]

i want to put my thoughts behind this: this was supposed to be a piece for pride month, titled "you were loved". the sky is the color of the aroace flag (just upside down)!

basically, i wanted to show an aroace person — an old aroace person, to be precise. being aroace myself, i am always told that i will forever be lonely and miserable if i don't get a partner. so showing grace, who is aroace to me, as old and happy and fulfilled and oh so loved by his best friend, was really important to me <3

[ardent-w]

Sooo I finally caved in... and made a human John design

[insanepipin]

[undeadparished]

lets become something entirely your own with papa

[ravioliet]

yes i do ship those characters but i ship them in an infinitely more aroace way than you will ever be able to comprehend

[ravioliet]

they're not "dating" they're not "a couple" they're intrinsically connected and intertwined with each other for eternity. they're bound together like the stars. get with the program
