Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.
this isn't really the same thing as intentionally/unintentionally a-spec characters but it is interesting thinking about how intentionality does dramatically change how characters read regarding a-spec identities and themes.
So: repurposed vaguely Kinseyesque scale describing your aromantic and/or asexual protagonist's awareness of and relationship to their own aromanticism/asexuality:
Unaware That This Is A Thing People Can Be. Type specimen: Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl. Has never once considered that "not wanting romance or sex" is a thing people could feel, let alone identify as. He is normal, which means straight. It's just a coincidence that his relationship with his girlfriend was a disaster and now he's just way too busy in this new nightmare dystopia world for any of that! Anyway!
Aware They Have These Feelings, Assumes Everyone Else Also Does. Type specimen: Doug Eiffel from Wolf 359. Firmly believes that his aro-allo experiences are universal and everybody else is just better at acting like a functional human being than he is. Being a huge movie nerd also leads him to believe that "romance" as we understand it is massively exaggerated for drama in movies and people in real life don't actually do and feel that stuff any more than they mind-meld or can use the Force. He's just a fuckup at everything; why wouldn't relationships be included in that? For most of the show if you told him about aromanticism he would NOT be comforted about it, he'd probably take it as a diagnosis that his fuckup-ness regarding relationships was innate and incurable. (This doesn't have to be negative; this is also where Andy Wheyface from Arden falls and he is having a GRAND old time.)
Aware They Have These Feelings, Realizes That It Sets Them Apart From Others, Doesn't Conceptualize It As Part Of An Identity. Type specimen: Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary. His reaction to other people having sex is mostly "why would you do that." His single attempt at a serious romantic relationship didn't work out and he has a nagging sense that there is something in him that can't maintain serious relationships; attributes it to cowardice and fear of commitment. Ironically he does know what asexuality is. He's a middle school teacher in 2020s California, he has absolutely gotten LGBTQ+ Sensitivity Education at least in "pamphlet listing queer identities" form, he for sure has students with pride flag pins on their backpacks and pride stickers on their notebooks, and he is also not immune from the Culture War Bullshit around gender in schools. Knowing that asexuality exists did not even slightly lead him to apply this to himself.
Aware They Have These Feelings, Considers Them Significant, Attributes Them To Some Existential Feature Of Their Existence Rather Than A Personal Identity. Type specimen: Murderbot from The Murderbot Diaries. Murderbot is very confident it does not want anything to do with romance or sex, and it attributes this to Being A SecUnit, and romance and sex are Human Things SecUnits Don't Do. Has not yet realized that this is an itself thing and not a SecUnit thing. Probably willfully at this point.
Considers These Feelings A Significant Aspect Of Their Selfhood, But Doesn't Name It. Type specimen: Sister Carpenter from The Silt Verses. Clearly confident in who she is and what she wants in her personal relationships, recognizes that as something that makes her different from others and out of step with what others expect from her, and is basically like, that's their problem. She knows who she is. Sometimes other people try to make it her problem but she has so many other problems that societal amatonormativity keeps getting pushed lower and lower on her list of Problems.
Recognizes Themself As Aromantic/Asexual As A Personal Identity. Type specimen: Nova NoStar from InCo. Clearly considers this part of her identity, but is allergic to talking about her feelings even at her therapy android's insistence and besides that's not anybody else's business is it?
Publicly Identifies As Asexual And Describes It With Period-Correct Sexual Orientation Language. Type specimen: Sally Grissom from ars PARADOXICA. The only character I've ever heard come out as asexual and lay out the definition in terms of sexual orientation and attraction to another character on-air that made me go "yeah she would do this, this is in character for Sally." Strongly feel like she would be an active commenter on the 2010s ace blogosphere. Would get in an argument about the correct definition of asexuality on AVEN.
X. Their Culture Conceptualizes Intimate Relationships In A Fundamentally Different Framework Than We Use. Type specimen: Breq from the Imperial Radch Trilogy. Whatever model of gender and sexuality the Radch is on it is NOT ours. Breq is still not interested though.
jhw's hour of judgment condition in late novel is kinda hilarious. okay hold on i gotta ask the groupchat if i can use my full power to beat your ass

Oh well!
My favorite Jin Ling moment is when Wei Wuxian is confused about Fairy's name. And you'd expect a thirteen-year-old boy, especially one like Jin Ling, to be embarrassed, right? But he responds completely unfazed, "Because I can't call her Little Fairy after she's grown up, dumbass 🤨😑". Amazing. Jin Ling, I'm proud of you.

Bisan says that among all the aid organisations working in North Gaza right now, Ele Elna Elak is one of the most effective, geared towards resolving the water scarcity and making clean water and vegetables available to Gazans.
Donate if you can and share.
🕊️Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle🕊️
Keep Hope Alive is a project that connects multiple families in need in Gaza with a pool of donated funds. Anybody can donate through their Chuffed fundraiser. Funds are then evenly divided on a weekly basis between all 7 of the families that the project works to sustain.
The project was born from the observation that Palestinians are made to share intimate details of suffering in order to be afforded help. Its operations are designed around the following principles:
Support Palestinian autonomy by letting them choose what to share.
Prioritize Palestinians' privacy and dignity.
Alleviate the burden of asking for help. Forced displacement & internet blackouts mean that most of the families can’t log into their social media.
Create reliable, sustained help through regular giving, rather than chasing one-off donations.
The organizer of this project is my best friend in the world and I trust her implicitly. I am also managing bank transfers for one of the individual families connected to the project and can personally attest to their veracity. The specifics of every single ingoing and outgoing transaction are recorded here.

13 September - next, URGENT needs to keep hope alive! 🚨 Next needs: 🚨 1. Evacuation from Gaza City: The primary barrier is money. $2,000+ for transportation south + rent or costs of a tent 2. Families staying in north Gaza: Rent, food & medicine (it's still a famine!) 3. Families in central and south Gaza: Rent, new tents to prepare for autumn We've set a higher goal this week but would love to exceed this as the situation gets more dangerous.
It’s unfortunate that MDZS isn’t mainstream enough to reference in casual offline conversation, because “this is what killed Nie Mingjue” is thee best possible way to describe an offensively grating piece of music and there is simply no normie equivalent.
What drives me to go get food is not being able to provide enough food to feed my children.
and you would think the chances of dying are so high that people would refuse to go there, but then i think about if people in my family, especially children, were crying from hunger in front of me i would not hesitate to go. and i also remember this essay, about hunger. you would do anything to end it, including take your chances with unseen, sadistic israeli soldiers lying in wait with their snipers ready.

MDZS transmigration murder game
imagine the following: one day, your soul/consciousness is transmigrated into the world of MDZS at the beginning of the cloud recesses lectures. you will inhabit the body of one character for 1 year; during this time, you will be tasked with killing another character.
Picker Wheel is a wheel spinner for a random picker. Various functions & customization. Enter choices or names, spin the wheel to decide a r
spin the above wheel once. this is the character whose body your soul has been transmigrated into. you will have full access to all of this character's abilities. for the 1 year of your transmigration, this character's consciousness will be dormant.
spin the above wheel again. this is the character you are tasked with killing. you must bring about this character's death using any means within 1 year; otherwise, if the character is still alive once your 1 year is up, your soul will be annihilated.
(for your second spin, if you get the same character as your first spin, then spin it again until your result is different.)
once your 1 year is up, if the target is dead, then your soul will be returned to your original body in the real world, in which no time has passed. meanwhile, the original owner of the body you inhabited for 1 year will regain full control of their body, and will have to live with the consequences of whatever it is you did.
can you do it?
yes - easily
yes - difficult but still achievable
yes - nigh-impossible, but still not completely impossible
no - it is impossible
no - i don't want to kill my target
no - i don't want to ruin the life of the character i transmigrated into
no - i'm killing myself to take the character i transmigrated into down with me
no - some other reason
some notes:
you will be stuck in your transmigration-stolen body for exactly 1 year, no matter what. that is to say, even if you successfully kill your target on day 1, you will still have to spend 364 more days in the MDZS world, and will only be returned to your original body upon the 356th.
if you die in the MDZS world, you die in real life.
if you die in the MDZS world, then the character whose body you transmigrated into dies as well.
the victory condition is that, within 1 year of your transmigration, your target character dies. technically you don't have to be the one to cause their death.
if you want to materially aid palestinians undergoing genocide, please consider donating to the zahrat alhanun mutual aid fund. i personally am in contact with some of the organizers and can attest to the work they do. they're currently low on resources for the palestinian students and families that rely on them. you can learn more about ZAMA here! please share widely!!!!!
