ranboo my beloved
This is hands down the most personal comic I ever made. Peridot has always been dear to me, not in small part because of how many aspects of her story warmed my little green heart. This is based on just one of them. Iâve been working on it ever since Peridot was confirmed to be aroace and I really wanted to get it out for pride month, but life said no so youâre getting it now instead of some ace jokes.Â
Happy Ace Week to everyone on the ace spectrum!Â
A funky pun for my aro followers đâïžâš
okay, iâm finally getting around to writing this, and uhh ill say its for aro week too. this is written as an aro person directed at alloromantic people. when i refer to writing, iâm kind of using it as a general term for creative works. Hereâs me throwing my hat in on the question:
Can you ship aromantic characters?
and my answer is,,,,, actually a question. Why do you want to ship aromantic characters?Â
I want alloros to realize that for a lot of aros, we do not get to see ourselves represented often. I can actually count on like one hand how many popular canon aro characters there are, and on the whole, none of their identities are respected. people constantly try to weasel their way out of actually writing aro characters, or they just ignore or deny their identity outright. fandom spaces (hell creative spaces in general) are at best not welcoming to aros, and at worst actively hostile towards us. So when the first question brought up when a character gets canonically confirmed as aro is âokay cool but can i ship them???â or âthatâs nice but how can i still write about my fave ship that involves them??â i want to fucking scream. its a slap to the face and it shows that people really do not give a shit about aros. you say stuff like that and all i hear is âmy fictional ship is so much more important than representing your marginalized minority identityâ so instead of me just sitting here and saying âyes you can totally ship aro characters, as long as youâre respectful!!!â iâm saying âcan you stop and think why you want to shove an aro character into a romantic relationship at the first chance you get?? maybe you have some arophobia you havenât worked on?? maybe since we live in an amatonormative world, youâre letting that influence your views??â because that question being the first thing out of your mouth when you see a character you like confirmed as aro? thatâs already disrespectful towards aros in my book.
So back to my question, Why do you want to ship aromantic characters? is it because you canât write characters without them being in romantic relationships? or because you think a character without a romantic relationship is boring? Because if so, thatâs a bad reason and it sounds like amatonormativity is rotting your brain.Â
Is it because you just really like a ship with the aro character? Because you can write two characters with a strong relationship without writing them as a couple. A strong friendship can hold just as much power as a romantic relationship.
Is it because fuck aros, i will write what I wanna write and I donât wanna write this character with their canon identity? because then youâre just an arophobic asshole that needs to work on your shitty opinions. aro representation is just as important as any other lgbtqia+ representation.
Now if youâre reading this and thinking âwell i heard aros can be in queerplatonic relationships!â I want you to think for a second. Are you writing a qpr or are you writing a romantic relationship with the serial numbers filed off? Have you talked to aro people or read stuff actually written by us? because, yes, some qprs can look a lot like a romantic relationship from the outside, but thatâs just it, youâre looking at it from the outside. qprs are more than just âromantic relationship with extra stepsâ, and i think itâs really telling how many times i see alloromantic people saying theyâre depicting an aro character in a qpr, not a romantic relationship, but then they never ever make any effort to distinguish the qpr from any other romantic relationship they write or draw. It just feels like qprs are getting used by alloros as a gatcha any time an aro person objects to how they depict (or donât depict) aromanticism. if you want to write a character in a qpr then go for it! but you need to actually do research, talk to aros, get multiple opinions and not just take the first opinion that agrees with you and run with it.
âBut what about headcanoning a character as arospec?â now i will say before i go into this, i am aro, not arospec, so if an arospec person wants to come in and correct me at any part here im happy to listen. but my problem when alloros bring up arospec identities is a very similar problem to how qprs are often depicted. I remember when Peridot Stevenuniverse got confirmed aro (she did, do not argue this with me) people were jumping over themselves to assure everyone that âa character getting confirmed as aro just means they are any arospec identityâ which,, uhh,, not true? i mean if an arospec person wants to see a canon aro character as, say, aroflux, iâve got no problem, aro and arospec people can do what they want really. but, i do have a problem with all the alloro fans who were spreading this. because, do you really see the character as demiromantic? or are you using that identity to deflect criticism from erasing aro identities? are you actually trying to write a good depiction of a demiro person? or are you just writing normal ship stuff and slapping a âuwu ive never felt romantic attraction until i met you! and now i will act exactly like any alloromantic person!â at the beginning? being in fandom spaces, i do see the occasional fic actually depicting an aspec identity (i say aspec her because aro is so rare that most of these examples iâve seen have been acespec identities rather than arospec) but like 99% of the time, thatâs written by someone who actually shares the identity. before you use our terms and identities to cover your ass when you erase us, consider not fucking doing that. consider listening to all aros and getting our thoughts and input.Â
And last here is âbut what about romance positive aros?â now i think most of what iâve said previously can be applied here. the only thing i wanna add is, i think its very interesting that almost every time i see non aros depict aros, they always write them as very into romance, very open to be in romantic relationships, and very quiet about their aro identity. despite the character in canon not showing any of these traits. romance positive aros are good and important, but not every aro is romance positive. thereâs quite a few of us that are romance repulsed, and alloros only depicting aros as super romance positive no matter what is suspicious to say the least. if an aro character is shown to be open to participating in romantic activities in canon then of course write them that way. but if an aro character is shown to be uninterested in, or even actively against romantic activities then respect that too.
so, to wrap up my thoughts in this ramble: please ask yourself why you want to ship aro characters so bad, because if the only reason is that amatonormativity has brainwashed you into not being able to write, or draw, or do anything with a character without them being in a romantic relationship, then you uhhh need to work on that, thatâs honestly a writing/creative flaw imo. if you like the relationship dynamic between an aro character and another character, consider making them friends. friendship is not less powerful than romantic relationships. nobody is ever too old for the power of friendship trope. If youâre erasing an aro characterâs identity because fuck aros, then fuck off somewhere far away from me and work on your bullshit. qprs, arospec identities, and romance positive aros are all very real, very important parts of the aro community, but please talk to other aros about them and actually make an effort to understand how these things work, dont just assume. And also donât use these things as a way to erase aro identities and cover your ass if get called out. its disrespectful towards all aros.
The most important thing to do before writing or creating work with aro characters is to talk to aros, and not just the aros that agree with you. look up what a qpr actually is, learn how aros experience their arospec identities, talk to aros with multiple outlooks on romance. and if you canât bring yourself to reach out, at least read through our own writings, whether thatâs fiction, or informational posts, fuck, look through our memes if u wanna. Just please actually make an effort.
So, Can you ship aro characters? its complicated. look at trends in your fandom, question why you want to, and do research. Be an aro ally, listen to us. Thatâs really the most important thing.
I didnât see anyone talking about this, but itâs nice to see that someone working on the show came out and said that Peridot is aroace!!!!
steven universe future sure is hammering in the amatonormativity so I made this meme to express my feelings about it
all of your faves are aro
hot take cause at the moment this fandom is being pretty damn annoying :)
I meant to get this done much much earlier in pride month but then Life Happened so I only just finished this now in the last half hour of the month
Anyway yeah listen to Peridot
Sheâs aroace!!! đđđ€

ok but hear me out:
Next big lore event techno or dream or whoever threatens tubbo while everyone is watching and ranboo steps out and goes "STEP AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND" in serious lore voice and everyone loses it BC THEY NEVER TOLD ANYONE ON THE SERVER THEY GOT MARRIED
i see your âmanhunts are dsmp canonâ and â[insert smp here] is dsmp canonâ and i raise you. tommyâs mod videos are canon. every weekend tommy, phil, charlie, ghostbur, and sometimes schlatt and quackity go out to a random field and commit atrocities together
tubbo with a beeÂ
a tubbee if u will
đ
this was really fun to drawÂ
enjoy :D
-
(PLEASE DONâT COPY/EDIT/USE/REPOST, REBLOG INSTEAD)
when the fanon designs are so banger the ccs canonize it
strange (and canon) dream smp trivia that will deeply confuse anyone who doesn't watch the smp:
- dream murdered his mexican alter ego
- a fusion of wilbur and schlatt's ghosts exists
- ranboo can generate infinite cake
- jack manifold has twitter, but it's unclear if anyone else does
- tommy survived murder by a literal nuke because he was too busy collecting spruce logs
- schlatt's body parts were on sale at targay (gay target)
- ranboo has stated that he does not know if his character licks his eyelids like a gecko, but has not denied it
- tubbo has many alter egos, including drubbo (drug tubbo) who has compared fundy to a peach and complained that fundy shouldn't have bones as he is, after all, a peach

Happier days.
wanted to try out a diffrent style owo
