is it good to say that I hc Keigo Takami and Shota Aizawa as both aroace ? like I love their ship, DabiHawks and EraserMic, but while watching the show, I totally saw the aroace flag behind them when they were on screen (same for Bakugo everytime he was on screen).
→ Hawks is aroace s3x-neutral and romance-repulsed,
→ Aizawa is aroace s3x-repulsed and romance-neutral,
→ Katsuki is aroace s3x-neutral and romance-neutral/repulsed (depends on the time).
And for the ships, they are more queer-platonic to me :
• EraserMic live together because of taxes and are raising Eri together,
• DabiHawks I see why people ship them together and I like it but I don't really ship it like on an insane level (also Dabi scream aromantic to me everytime I see him),
• BakuDeku seem just platonic soulmates best friends to me, like they are childhood friends and then became best friends after the war.
So there, here my new headcanon. Please, be nice in the comments.
Ok, I just finished MHA and MHA Vigilantes (gonna watched the movies now), and I saw that the trans!Shoto is pretty popular in the fandom, so let me just say that I totally agree on this hc.
Because, in canon, the Todoroki siblings are in that order boy - girl - boy - boy. So having Shoto as a trans ftm would mean that Endeavour and Rei would have 2 boys and 2 girls biologically, and then one of them transitioned.
And I'm thinking that Shoto transitioned maybe in middle school and because everytime he look at the mirror, he see his mother more than his father (even with his scar) : before transitioning, he looked more like Rei than Fuyumi did.
Also, his backstory and his character himself just screamed trans ftm to me while watching the anime.
Some AroAce Jason and Damian headcanons (with some projecting on my part):
Neither of them actually uses a label.
Upon discovering the other shares his general disinterest in getting into a relationship,they immediately re-enact the pointing Spider-man meme.
Everytime the topic of romance is brought up by someone,they either groan or proceed to silently retreat into a corner (and usually making themselves busy by reading a book) and hope nobody drags them into it.
Neither of them has a real problem with romance in books if it creates good drama (even if stupid sometimes),but they may go back to disliking it once the drama ends and the story gets boring because of this. They sometimes apply the same logic to real life if the conflict is interesting enough and it doesn't concern them.
They harshly criticize the romance quality in every piece of media they consume and especially dislike how almost every movie/series has some of it. If they came to watch the bloody fights in a movie belonging into the "action/thriller" genre,then this is what the movie needs to deliver (not more than half the plot being about the main lead pin after and rescue a damsel in distress for the Nth time when she should have spent that time learning to throw a few punches herself).
Jason constantly fluctuates between HATING being single and LOVING being single. He just wants someone in his life who he can 100% trust without the risk he may regret it later (and with who he can be as emotionally intimate as possible without it seeming weird). Meanwhile Damian doesn't give a shit about all this and believes Jason is just being dramatic with his intimacy-cravings ("If Todd is feeling so lonely at home,he could just adopt something! So what is all this fuss about?").
While Jason may not be actively looking for a relationship,he can still develop a romantic attraction for someone he has spent a lot of time with and had formed a strong emotional bond (something which doesn't come too easy due to the walls he has built around himself). He also gets extremely attached to that person and wishes to share every moment of his life with them.
Damian LOATHES the existence of Valentine's Day and gets mad about it every year on February (but he does like the discounts being made). He also dreads the thought he may not be able to completely avoid seeing couples being romantic (he swears they get twice as annoying during this time of the year).
Damian's goal in life is to end up living like an old lady in a house full of cats,but instead of JUST the cats he gets a whole zoo with at least one exemplary of every animal that lives on Earth (and he even manages to get some that were supposed to be extinct).
Once Damian gets of age,Bruce begins with the "When will you give me grandkids?" bullshit. If Bruce wasn't his father,then Damian would have killed him the moment he brought up this topic for the first time (but he does consider getting him some birds to shut up about how the manor is too empty and quiet). Bruce previously tried this with Jason too,but quickly gave up because he kinda got self conscious about not exactly having the rights to comment on how Jason lives his own life when he is the one who mostly messed it up (so now he only pesters Damian with this since that kid is actually related to him by blood).
hello i would like to hear your thoughts on aromantic jason todd. or asexual, or aroace, you didn’t actually specify. either way i would like to hear the thoughts please?
OwO I'm guessing you saw my tags on this post ! I'm happy to talk about it, but I am gonna put it all under a read more because it's long, and also I am wary of getting hate 😅
So for anyone reading who isn't fond of aspec Jason Todd, keep scrolling lol
I'm gonna focus on canon interpretation rather than fanon, mostly because I don't seek out much fanon with him being shipped with anyone. It's complicated and would probably need a whole separate post to explain, but the short of it is: not my jam.
To clarify, I see Jason as aroace, though I don't think he knows that about himself or particularly cares about it. Part of the reason he gives off strong aroace vibes to me is that in pretty much all of his stories, both pre-death and after, he always has more important things to do than date/hook up with people (and by important, I mean more important to him). Jason is a meticulous planner, and he just doesn't have time for All That. He does not really seek out romance or sex without prompting, and when others come to him seeking those things, his reactions range from annoyed to indifferent to initially intrigued before finding other more interesting/pressing/important things to do.
Additionally, though he has had some "Canon romances" (and I use that term lightly here), none of them have really lasted beyond a few issues or a given writer's fixation. Granted, DC is not generally the best at developing good romance subplots IMO, but other characters' relationships have more continuity and staying power, even if they aren't always together (e.g. Bruce and Selina, Oliver and Dinah, Wally and Linda, Dick and Barbara or Dick and Kori, etc etc). In many ways, Jason having had several relationships that ultimately fizzle out is more evidence for him being on the ace/aro spectrum(s), as it's not an unusual aro/ace/aroace experience, especially for someone unaware of being aspec.
Another reason I find aroace Jason compelling is that he is a) morally EXTREMELY complex and b) cares so deeply it hurts him. Lots of asexual characters are often treated as.....well. innocent, pure, childish, etc etc. That happens less these days than it used to, but Crime Lord Has Killed Many People Jason Todd being asexual is, if nothing else, refreshing. On the other hand, aro characters are often treated as cold and emotionless, and Jason Todd has SO MANY feelings in an extreme way. He is passionate, but romantic feelings don't factor into that passion.
There's a lot I could say about Jason being a fundamentally lonely character and how that relates to a common aroace experience, but it's a little sad and convoluted, so I'll leave it at that.
On a more positive note, aroace Jason being 100% immune to honeypot schemes is just the cherry on top. A plot failing because a villain wore tight pants and said something suggestive? Couldn't be Jason. Getting betrayed by your lover you thought you could trust? Not a problem Jason has. He's got 99 problems but a—well, you get it. Whether he’s aware of being aroace or not, the concept of people trying to seduce him and failing every time never fails to amuse me.
I have collected some panels from my own reading and tumblr (thank you aroace Jason Todd tag, small though our numbers be), and while some might say "those are out of context" my response is that I am free to interpret evidence regardless of authorial intent. Also, I don't think anyone needs canon proof to have a fun headcanon, but in case anyone wants to see where the few aroace Jason Todd truthers are coming from, voila.
Close friends can't imagine him dating
This is his reaction to Isabel kissing him (eyes open, looking away? Not a great sign). But maybe he just wasn't that into her?
Oh. But then, this is his immediate reaction to Kori kissing him. "What the hell" and "sit down". Hmm.
Here is how he responds to casual flirting. Though the handsome might be tongue-in-cheek, there's no acknowledgement of it at all.
Here he is put off by other people's romantic displays, even minor.
Here he is again, very much Not Into Romance.
Here he is very much opposed to even entertaining the idea of sexual attraction.
And one more example featuring Isabel, where his response to flirting and getting a number is confusion and, possibly, a bit of panic.
Jason "unlike some people I have more pressing things to do than flirt or watch other people flirt" Todd, everyone, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
aroace culture is telling yourself that you're bi throughout all your teenage years to fit in thinking that you experience the same attraction to all genders equally but then discovering you're actually aroace and experience no attraction to all genders equally
THIS IS A PERSONAL TAKE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME, BUT PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL IN THE COMMENTS !!!
I personally see Chad and Chloe not as siblings, but more as closed cousins because their dad are brothers.
Like, Chloe is the daughter of 1997's Cinderella (so Brandy Norwood's one), while Chad is the son of the Disney 1950's Cinderella (the Classic Disney).
But their dads are both brothers and sons of the King Charming : like in Ever After High with Daring, Dexter, and Darling, if you see what I mean.
And so everyone thinks that Chad will be the new Prince Charming and Chloe the new Cinderella but, both of them are going to be the new Princes Charming because Chad is a Daring variant and Chloe a Darling variant.
Plus, Chad and Chloe grew up together because their dads stayed closed and their moms became closed too, bonding over their story and how different (or not) they are. That's why everyone thought they were siblings.
I've been watching tiktok about trans!Robbie Shapiro, and as much as I love this hc, I think Nickelodeon really meant to played on stereotypes (and I mean all of them : the religious ones, the lgbtqia+ ones, the cultural ones etc.)
Except they played on stereotypes very much — maybe too much — that they ended making a trans ftm character without knowing it, along with others lgbtqia+ characters.
And I cannot talk if this is accurate or not because I'm not trans, but as I am aroace, I can also talk about my hc of Beck Oliver being aroace because it is accurate too (Beck's behavior is so aroace coded/implied sometimes).
So we can somehow say thank to D*n Sch... (idk how to write his name, the problematic producer of most Nickelodeon shows) and Nickelodeon themselves for give us lgbtqia+/queers representation in our childhood tv shows.
Aroace culture is being awake at 3 a.m. in the morning questioning your identity because /surely/ I'm just exaggerating everything I'm feeling and this is how everyone functions?
Because seriously I literally have a doc called “figuring out what the hell I am” listing all the labels I think I am, and whenever I'm feeling doubtful I'd reread the description and be like “yeah nope. I'm definitely aroace.”
I'm rewatching Legends of Tomorrow (because it's my comfort show and I love them), and I was thinking that, with the new timeline and Behrad living the same life as Zari 1.0., does that mean the events of the “Séance and Sensibility” ep in season 4 happened but with Behrad instead ?
Did Kamadeva said “i have a thousand wives... But you will be the first husband !” to Behrad ?
I mean, the whole group are pretty much queers... Nobody is straight in that fcking team, not even Mick... Although, I'm thinking he could be the exception — a straight ally — but I don't think that man is straight (he's probably bisexual and have a crush on Snart or Nate).
Anyway, back to my thought, I need answers because the show said that Behrad lived the same events as Zari 1.0. so I was wondering because I rewatch the “Séance and Sensibility” ep and it hit me.
An headcanon that I have and wanted to share : Present Mic is a homeroom teacher too but for the 2-A (while Aizawa is the one for the 1-A).
I mean, I know I just started MHA and I'm new to this fandoms, but when I first saw Present Mic, I totally picture him as a homeroom teacher just like Aizawa.
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MAN ??? HE WOULD BE THE COOLEST HOMEROOM TEACHER EVER !!!
And the class 2-A totally love him : every Christmas, Mic get a “coolest teacher ever” mug/shirt/paint etc and he just show it off to Aizawa's face in the teachers' room.
Also, for the boarding school, Mic would absolutely have karaoke night with his students (probably every Wednesday night).
He's an homeroom teacher for real, and you cannot convince otherwise !!! (also, he personally asked Nezu to have the class higher than Aizawa's — so the class 2-A —, just so he could say sh!t like “my class is higher than yours, Shota !” or something like that.
I totally fall for the aroace!Catty Noir propaganda, but I want to add that Seth Ptolemy is also aroace.
I mean, when they lost their voice, they were literally like “oh well, I guess we're not in love anymore”, which makes me thing they are platonic soulmates (but the movies came out in the 2010s so the creators make them a couple).
Catty literally said in the movie that she “never had that kind of music in her heart”.
Seth literally was engaged to someone in never met before but never show any kind of interest, except for his music.
If the movies cames out today, both of them would totally not be interested in any type of relationships, just interested in music... Wait, actually they would still be in a relationship if the movie came out today but they would still be very much aroace coded/implied.
Aroace Beck Oliver who isn't interested in any kind of relationship except friendship, and Lesbian Jade West who only dated Beck because he's handsome and so she thought she was bisexual.
Like Beck never dated before and when he started at Hollywood Arts, all the girls (and boys), Jade included, found him handsome and wanted to date him.
But for Beck, he thought “dating” meant just hanging out with his friends and having fun moments. So when Jade ask him out, he said yes and discovered they have a lot of interests in common (or so he thought because Jade was faking having the same interest as him so they could be together).
So they started hanging out more often and Jade mistook it for dating, because they never went pass that part but it was ok for her (she was with the hottest guy of school).
But she's started to get very possessive and jealous towards Beck every time he would talk to another girls, which is something Beck didn't understand why she was like that, especially considering they were just best friends from his pov.
Then Tori Vega come on the board and Jade start developing feelings for her, later realizing that she's actually lesbian and in love with Tori.
MATT MURDOCK AND HIS HUSBAND FRANK CASTLE, AND THEIR GIRLFRIEND KAREN PAGE !!! THEY ARE IN A POLYAMOUROUS RELATIONSHIP !!!
• Matt is pansexual (the only gender he see is wh0re and it's just for himself).
• Frank is bisexual (he started to have a crush on Matt after the rooftop scene in Daredevil season 2, also him and Micro were arguing like an old married couple).
• Karen is bisexual (she have a crush on Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk because she now lives on the West Coast).
And Foggy desperately need someone in his life because he's working with a wh0re, and is tired of hearing Matt complaining about his love life while he got nobody.
