Gracie's That Girl! @ogpears - Tumblr Blog

Jayme Lawson as Pearline.

“She is a performer. She is a sharecropper who was married off young to an older gentleman and seeks to find her life in these kinds of juke joints. That’s where she seems to come alive. That’s where she tends to have some level of freedom.”-Jayme Lawson.

Sinners (2025) │ Directed by Ryan Coogler.

Is this a guardian bell? Yeah, I did some, uh, incredibly limited research in there. Well, they told me that if you hang this on your chopper, and, uh, I guess the ring-a-ling, it, uh, wards off these evil spirits if you're on the open road, so... Yeah, that's exactly right.

You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.

You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT. 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 way—not 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 don’t 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 happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.

Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?

I think a lot less people would feel threatened by the prospect of a character being aroace if they learnt how to conceptualize and write character relationships and dynamics outside of sex and romance. Because as long as people think no longer being able to write both characters in their favourite dynamic being sexually and romantically attracted to each other means a loss in intimacy and closeness, they're going to see any aroasexuality as an attack on character dynamics they care about and get upset when characters are confirmed aroace, unless those characters are unshippable side characters they never really cared about so they never accidentally get invested in an aroace character.
