It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
I am currently working on the second draft of my first Science Fiction and Fantasy novel. The main character will be aroace and there will be plenty of further LGBTQ+ representation too, throughout the coming series.
When it is ready, the book will be available for free download to anyone prepared to review it on launch.
If you are interested, watch this space.
a gentle reminder that no one else has any say over how you label yourself.
you think you're queer? then you're queer, and that's absolutely amazing!
you use microlabels? that's dope as hell and totally radical!
you're questioning your identity? that's totally okay! you're cool as fuck and i hope you figure yourself out soon!
you can't quite find a label that fits you? that's okay! and remember it's okay to use your own terms if there's nothing out there that you vibe with. you're fucking awesome, i love you, and i hope you get there soon!
sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if we’ve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall we’re done

Blooming cheek! I mostly follow fan art, which you are not allowed to profit from. Get a grip, Staff!
Mspec culture is solidarity with aspecs
Aspec/mspec solidarity flag made by @polkapersondanceparty
Beautiful flag!
Happy pride specifically to the heteroromantic aces, and heterosexual aros. I love you all. You are wonderful human beings and an important part of the lgbtqia+ community.
Love the positive responses to this! I see pride posts for almost every other identity, and since I'm an ace blog, I figured I better make one for my aros and aces (acknowledged that not everyone on the spectrum is hetace/hetaro).
*remember the spectrum! The above identities exist on a spectrum along with many, MANY more. Love EVERYONE on the ace and on the aro spectrum!*
My good people, I give you: Amatonormativity.
She fidgeted with her coffee cup for a few moments. “The thing is – I’m fine with being ace. I like being ace. But I think I’d like to be in a relationship with someone, too, and how am I going to find that if most men feel the way Charlie does?”
“There’s no simple solution to that, I’m afraid,” Mr. Fell said. “But there are certainly people out there who don’t think that way, if only you can find them. You may even be lucky enough to come upon someone who doesn’t require such things in a relationship either.” He smiled fondly at Crowley, interlacing his plump fingers with his husband’s thin ones.

Aziraphale and Crowley prove relationships don’t have to be physical to be valid
Really great read. Glad I found it.
sorry for the negativity, but it's been really disheartening to see these ~new pan flags~ being spread around so much both by people who are actively malicious and people who are just very, VERY misinformed. an artist i like who happens to identify as pan posted some art of one of their characters with the original pan flag, and they got a bunch of messages "correcting" them and telling them that jasper is a lesbophobe and they ended up changing the art to have one of the new flags. i'm just.... so tired.
ugh that's so frustrating. i hate that so often exclusionists are the loudest, so uninformed and well-meaning people get fed biased and inaccurate nonsense before anything else and they think it's legit, or it drowns out the actual facts and history. it's truly fucking exhausting.
also, you don't have to apologize for venting or ranting, even if it's a "negative" topic or emotion. i'm always here for this kind of thing.
I don't usually post this kind of thing here, but...seeing as my most popular post is about solidarity between aces, aros, bis and pans, I couldn't see this and turn a blind eye.
The aces, aros and demis have already been on the receiving end of this and I've seen well-meaning people get caught up in it and agree that perfectly good flags are Problematic and need to be changed because Exclusionists, TERFs and the like said so.
Please. If you see a post claiming that a flag is Bad, please look into it and talk to members of the community that the flag belongs to before you jump on the bandwagon.
Ace Omens Rec List!
In honor of Asexual Visibility Week, i wanted to put together a list of ace authors and fics for Good Omens! I’ve never been in a fandom with such an active ace community and I want to share the love. :3 Author: Rattatatosk Shameless self-promo! I am aro-ace and write 100% asexual GO fic, although that’s usually not the focus. Some of my favorite pieces: What God has Joined - T/ 8k - 300 years after the failed Apocalypse, Heaven captures Crowley and makes Aziraphale an offer he can’t refuse. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/22872370/chapters/54667819) the sacred simplicity (of you at my side): (Aro-ace Aziraphale, Ace Crowley) Quite possibly the softest thing I’ve written. An accidental confession fic where they actually have an adult conversation instead of running away.
Never Leave Your Side - T / 30k - an alternate history AU in which Aziraphale actually is recalled to Heaven in 1800 (in the deleted bookshop scene). An angsty start, but ends with lots of soft crimes.
==//==
Author: @kedreeva: Fandom bird mom teaching us all how wings work and writing ace wingfic Symmetry in Favor - G / 8k - Five times Crowley preens Aziraphale’s wings, and one time Aziraphale preens Crowley’s. Siren’s Song - T / 100k+ - Siren!AU. Crowley, a lone siren, calls a ship to wreck upon his reef, but finds when he meets pirate captain Aziraphale that sirens are not the only ones able to lure another creature to their heart’s desire. (Aromantic Aziraphale, Ace Crowley)
Like a River Flows - T / 15k - Five times Crowley was not allowed to love Aziraphale, and one time he succeeded.
==//==
Author: @ineffablefool: Creator of The Soft Zone TM, many many fics featuring soft ace content with a side of trans feels and fat acceptance. If Not Now, When - T / 90k - Human AU - Anthony Crowley has learned by now that anything that makes him happy will be temporary at best. His quietly desperate routine is challenged when he happens to strike up a conversation with a customer at work, and he starts realizing three things, in this order: 1. oh huh this Aziraphale guy is actually interesting; 2. he can’t stop embarrassing himself by accidentally flirting with him; and 3. oh no this Aziraphale guy is actually extremely attractive what do I do.
But it Wouldn’t Be Make-Believe - T/ 30k - Human AU, fake dating. Crowley wants just one visit home to see his mum without her trying to fix him up with some nice young lady. He also wants very, very much to kiss Aziraphale, a lot. If only there was some way for him to accomplish both of these goals at once without having to actually ask Aziraphale out, which he is one thousand percent too chicken to do.
==//==
Author: @zehwulf: mix of non-sexual and sexual fics, with asexual A/C throughout
Choose Your Princes Wisely - Fairy Tale AU. Crowley is a snake demon trying to con a hero into gathering the ingredients for a human corporation spell, and Aziraphale is the Questing Hero who shows up to take the job. Too bad Crowley quickly catches a bad case of Inconvenient Feelings. It’s Getting Hard, This Holding Back - T / 13k - Crowley decides to lure Aziraphale into Explicit Gestures of Romantic Affection. Aziraphale sets a cuddle trap
Incongruous States of Being - T / 8k - “Who would win: Aziraphale or Crowley.” “Oh!” Aziraphale startles. “Well—such a question. It’s not as though either of us has engaged in so much as fisticuffs in ages, and one does need to keep up practice with these sorts of things.” His fretting dies abruptly when Crowley cuts over him clearly, baldly: “Aziraphale.”
==//==
Author: @wingedspirit: Harbours of My Own - T / 30k - Crowley knows that, as a demon, his freedom is limited. He doesn’t get to have a home; he doesn’t get to love. Aziraphale would very much like to change that, but he, too, is limited in what he can do. It takes the better part of six thousand years, but they’ll get there. A Meddling of Houseplants - T/ 6k - Ophelia (a peace lily) is tired of Crowley and Aziraphale’s hopeless pining, and takes matters into her own leaves. Sweetest in the Gale - T / 3.8k - Gabriel can sense Aziraphale’s love for Crowley, and confronts “Aziraphale” about it before his execution
==//==
Author: the_pen_is_mightier: Long Night’s Journey into Day - T / 3k - They take the bus home. Crowley crashes and burns; he’s been through a lot today. Aziraphale is there to take care of him. Gently, gently - G / 3k - Heaven is cold and lonely. Hell is filthy and crowded. Aziraphale badly needs to be touched; Crowley needs fresh air, and light, and space. They can’t seem to connect on days after they’ve returned from their respective head offices.
waking up to you - 12 fics of extreme softness
==//==
Author: @ghostinthehouse has over 100+ fics in their Professors AU, each 666 words, featuring Aro Crowley and Ace Aziraphale, as well as Aro + Ace Adam/Warlock
==//==
Author: Bookwormgal: Angst and intense hurt/comfort.
How to Woo a Demon - T / 23k - Aziraphale tries to court Crowley with demonic wooing techniques to avoid miscommunication, and ends up with one very confused snake demon. (They figure it out eventually.) Chosen and Unchosen - T / 71k - The apocalypse may have been averted, but not everyone is relieved. Heaven and Hell may not believe that they can execute the traitors, but they also cannot let Aziraphale and Crowley go unpunished. Unfortunately for them, two not-quite-so-normal boys have some rather strong opinions on the topic.
==//==
Author: @aethelflaedladyofmercia - mostly ace A/C, mix of angst, h/c and softer themes
The Whole Truth - G / 17k - An ancient, mysterious tome bearing a powerful curse arrives in AZ Fell’s - and Aziraphale is tasked with finding out why the demons want it so much. But his strange behavior quickly suggests that the curse is affecting him, too.
Sawdust of Words - 11 fic Series, incomplete. Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship through the ages; Crowley is physically unable to say he loves Aziraphale. Boundless Love - 54k / G - collection of short fics for the Ineffables Advent Calendar Challenge
==//==
Author: @5ftjewishcactus 64+ fics of soft ace Aziraphale/Crowley
I’m sure there are more people I missed, so feel free to add on to the list!
Imma go ahead and add two of mine for good ace content! I am only comfortable pitching these cos of the comments I’ve gotten on the fics saying it felt like good rep, I myself am not ace but I feel like Aziraphale is so I try to come through with it occasionally
Try On Some Pride For A Day
They agree to a competition to tempt each other into the sins/virtues. Post apocalypse. Miscommunication into communication. Mostly fluffy with a dip into angst in the middle but it ends nicely. Some vaguely sexual chapters, but Aziraphale is straight up ace. There’s conversation about it
Not Quite Human
A sexual fic, but Aziraphale’s motivations are not exactly sexual, more just overwhelmingly physical. The pov switches around but I believe it’s pretty clear whose pov your in at any time. I think this is the best angel and demon vibes I’ve written, they’re not normal people. The ace Aziraphale and demi Crowley vibes are subtle but I was committed to it in the writing
Happy ace week, y'all are wonderful and deserve so many good things
I have some demisexual Crowley content!
Cilice It To Say (E)
in which Crowley is demi and/or grey-a, genderqueer, and a masochist
ètude de la sexualitè in C Major (incomplete series, M as of 11/20)
in which Crowley is demi and gets turned on by music
both are about Crowley exploring his sexuality through trial and error, and both are A/C endgame
Hey, is it self-promo ace edition? I only write asexual Aziraphale/Crowley and all my fics are on ao3.
The fics dealing more overtly with queer themes are:
Parades Go By – Crowley and Aziraphale reminisce while watching the London Pride Parade.
and
You Can’t Use A Bulldozer To Study Orchids – Aziraphale has a complicated relationship with labels. Crowley is confused and amused by the ridiculousness of it all.
I thought sherlock holmes was canonically gay?? /Gen
You need to study the books with an aroace friend. Believe me, you'd see it.
Alternatively, you could just look at the tag "Aroace Sherlock Holmes".
This post from Canon LGBT Characters might help:

Thank you!
Hi! I work in a school where we have a pride group with some Aro/Ace students. The staff are looking to find some Aro resources/ social media accounts (preferably not tumblr) to share with the students. do you have any ideas?

ugh I'm tired of seeing posts saying "aphobia and arophobia" or "aspec and arospec" like dude no aspec and aphobia refer to both acespec + arospec and acephobia + arophobia and not just acespec and acephobia stop it
100% this!
Acceptable:
"Aphobia (especially arophobia/acephobia)..."
"A-spec people (especially aros/alloaros/aces/alloaces/etc.)..."
Not acceptable:
"A-specs and aros..."
"Aphobia and arophobia..."
"Aphobia affects aces." (No mention of aros — in this case, you mean acephobia).
"A-spec includes all aces! Even demis." (Again, if aros are not mentioned, you are excluding half of the A-spec Community — and you are cutting aroaces in half).
Ace culture is being genuinely surprised that allosexual people actually exist because you spend so much time in ace spaces you just kinda forgot not everyone was ace
If this post gets
60,000 notes by my 24th birthday (13th August, 2021) I’ll make/self-publish an art book with all my ace spec art in it...
If I do this I’ll call the book ACE OF ARTS or HUES OF PURPLE...
What do you think?
Hues of Purple sounds so poetic!!!
