Shout out to the people who thought they were late bloomers, but turned out to be non-flowering shrubs.

okay okay okay, so I recently had a brainwave that I literally can't stop thinking about and I feel the need to put here for no one cause why not-

one of my FAVOURITE character tropes in media (as an ace person) is the asexual dumbass (eg. Peridot, Lilith Clawthorne, WALL-E, Gyorik Rogdul (drawtectives) etc.) (not necessarily because they're not smart, but that they can be goofy as hell)

AND IVE JUST REALISED WHY.

Ace characters are nearly always portrayed as either aliens or robots, immediately making them the 'other' before we even scratch the surface. these characters are seen as 'above pleasure' - which is cool sometimes, but gets boring SO FAST when its done everywhere*.

these robots, aliens and even human ace characters are then written to be calculated, cold, and technically minded (once again, can be cool, but when its the only representation you're getting it gets boring (and stereotypical) as hell)

So if ace characters are usually portrayed as inhuman, how do we invert that stereotype? how can we make a wider spread of ace characters for people to enjoy? We make them the most human thing you can be - A TOTAL DUMBASS. A SCREW UP. WE MAKE THEM INCAPABLE OF KEEPING ANYTHING IN THEIR LIFE TOGETHER BUT SOMEHOW STILL DOING A LIL JIG IN THEIR TRASHED APARTMENT AT 2AM WHILE MAKING THEMSELVES A CUP OF MIDNIGHT CEREAL.

so, this is my petition for more dumbass asexual representation in media. Whether it's for an actual reason or just because I'm a dumbass asexual, we may never know.

much love,

ghoul.

*edit: someone mentioned the hints of purity culture in this sentiment of 'above pleasure'. and that's the truest shit ever actually. so yup nvm, that trope is actually both boring AND uncool. fuck purity culture <3

Anyway, as I was saying:

X years later and I’m still fucking queer– eh, well, non-fucking queer but you get me

Just had a cringe memory about how my coming out in my high school yearbook was botched because the editing team didn’t know the word “queer” and instead of asking me they edited it to “queen” (my handwriting isn’t THAT illegible!)

You've heard of "be gay, do crimes." Now get ready for "be ace, instill fear."

(No rhyme because the original didn't rhyme either)
