i love it and hate it when a character in a story is so obviously created to be cool and awesome and then i do think they're cool and awesome. like fuck, yeah, ok, they're fucking epic. swag as hell. you got me you coolbaited me ok? i'm coolbaited.

okay so we all understand that sexual attraction doesn't always lead to sex. are we ready to consider that romantic attraction doesn't always lead to romance.

[saveyourhelplessspite]

and i dont mean this in a "its for your own good we dont date" way, or a "they got turned down and are still friends" way, i mean it in a "there is romantic attraction present but the one experiencing it doesnt want to do anything with it" way. am i making sense. are you hearing the words im saying. it wont fucking kill you if you dont act on it. like obviously you should probably communicate it someday but you dont have to let it dictate you or consume you. its just a feeling.

I've had multiple hook up partners who were clearly very into my personality and stuff in a more than just sexual way, but knew I was aromantic so they'd just bend over backwards to say that they were so into me platonically, only platonically, they thought I was sooooo cool but only in a friend way. And it just was obviously not true. And I had to be like "hey. You are allowed to be romantically attracted to me, you know? That's a feeling. You don't control your feelings. Me being aromantic doesn't mean you're supposed to somehow stop having certain feelings? That isn't how it works? And you're not a dick for having feelings? You're only a dick if you expect them to be reciprocated or for them to turn into an actual romantic relationship when I made it clear that wouldn't happen from the start."

Like. It really troubles me that people apparently think they aren't supposed to have feelings for aromantic people because that implies they can't actually wrap their head around having romantic feelings and then not doing anything about it. And that's like. Really really troubling from a consent perspective.

Like. Alloromantics really don't seem to have the concept of "feeling romantic attraction and just not doing anything about it and seeing it as morally neutral because it's just a feeling" and I think that's a huge problem.

I'm just gonna add - without elaborating much - that this same idea is a huge thing in sexual attraction as well.

If you're into rape kink, you MUST want to act on it, so you MUST be a risk to other people you interact with in your day to day life.

If you're into being in a dominant position you must be abusive.

If you're into certain fantasy monsters you can't be left alone near pets.

But even just on a more common scale. A man sexually attracted to women must have to act on that and is thus a risk to women - instead of being capable of learning to accept a no, like any other living being. And so on.

[the-dracologist]

Some random headcanons to do with Adrian that I think would be fun

Zoologist, particularly focused on social behavior in various species. Studies social animals both in the wild and in captivity

Constantly refers to Grace's dome as his "enclosure", much to the rest of the team's chagrin. Grace thinks this is hilarious

General "call a spade a spade" attitude to using zookeeping terms when referring to everything to do with keeping Grace happy, healthy, and alive. Some of the others on the team misread this as depersonalizing and cold towards Grace, but it's just Adrian's communication style

Gets along with Grace like a house on fire. They terrorize Rocky together

There was a brief period of awkwardness where Grace and Adrian were trying to be normal about how badly they wanted to study each other like bugs

Relationship to Grace is like if your best friend was also an exotic animal whose enrichment and enclosure design was your responsibility, if you and said animal/friend were both gleefully studying each other

"My esteemed colleague, Dr. Grace, needs more novel and varied enrichment options in his enclosure"

Grace tells Rocky jokingly that he thought his message (blip B) was a bomb, and Rocky is genuinely confused because why would Rocky throw a bomb at Grace ship, question. And Grace tries to explain that back on Earth people are afraid of aliens and consider them a threat (which is weird, now that he thinks about it, because at the same time people have been desperately looking for any sign of alien life for decades. That's exactly why he's here). And Rocky is even more confused because why consider someone a threat if people have not even met them, and Rocky would never hurt anyone. Universe is one, and everyone is a friend.

And Grace thinks about this conversation a lot.
