Milo Lamoree is livinโ the glamorous life of a sex shop sales rep, forever explaining to grown adults what they should and should not be sticking inside of themselves and/or others. Heโs not doing any sticking himselfโhis demisexuality hasnโt exactly enticed any โhot young singles in your area.โ Considering his clienteleโs wackadoo misconceptions about anatomy, etc., itโs not like Milo has the leftover energy to fall in love, anyway.
โฆWell, too bad.
Stevie Hart has heard it said that being bisexual means you have more options, meanwhile sheโs experienced that not at all. Her love life is all unsolicitedโahemโpics (you know the ones) and straight couples looking for an experimental third. No thanks. When youโre already managing your own agoraphobia, who has time to deal with whateverโs going on with those people? Falling in love isnโt worth the mess.
โฆUntil it is.
Along with their meddling mutual friends, Possibly The Worst Ex In The World, and a totally banginโ soundtrack, Stevie and Milo hit every major identity crisis (sexual, spiritual, existential, you get it) on their way to finding each otherโand themselves.
(And if they happen to also find the best title of an adult film while theyโre at it? Thatโs just the rainbow sprinkles on top.)
I spend a lot of time, like, pontificating here, so if you just want the answer: Itโs the โWell, he must be gayโ ~zinger~ re: the MMC, and t
[โฆ] The MMC is to some degree aloof or mysterious or seemingly uninterested in the FMC or, sometimes, her "ballsy, badass bestie" who decides to hit on him first.
Conclusion? "He must be gay, because no man can resist a hot girl who offers him a no-strings hookup" (GOD FORBID we think for the splittest of seconds that the FMC isn't the hottest woman to ever live, and ditto for her BFF who's probably starring in book two, and nobody wants to read about normies gettin' railed so don't you even consider the possibility).
just saw someone on twitter saying that they feel like something's wrong with them because they don't feel sexual attraction and comment after comment saying stuff like "you're in my brain," "finally someone put it into words!" "so it's not just me?" "I don't get why I'm like this"
and it breaks my heart
I found the asexual community pretty young so I always knew that there were other people out there like me. Even so, there are plenty of times I've felt broken because of my asexuality
to think about everyone out there who thinks they're alone, broken, a freak, wrong, that there's something wrong with them because they have never heard the term "asexual" or who have only heard it in aphobic contexts... my heart breaks for them
aphobia is real. aphobia is identity erasure, denial, hatred, suppression. aphobia is isolation, alienation, heartbreak. aphobia is a society that tells you that something is wrong with you, that you're broken, that you need to try harder, if you don't experience sexual attraction.
periodic reminder that the queer liberation library is an awesome non-regional library you can add on libby to access hundreds of queer titles. NO LIBRARY CARD NEEDED. i just found an audiobook for a pretty new release on there with no waitlist. also everyone use libby for your local library too NOW

You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.
You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because โaro/ace people can still date/have sexโ? Okay, then. LETโS DO IT.ย
I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same wayโnot romantically.
I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.
I wanna see the two demiromantics who donโt even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.
I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.
I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happyโฆbut their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.ย
Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?ย
