👀 HI HI! it was an absolute joy to read your thoughts on aroace Senku! And I hard agree on romance-repulsed and sex-neutral because I swear that’s LITERALLY how he’s written, I love it
About season 2 and 3! I watched them and I’ve also binged the entire manga. Spoiler, everything about him remains the same LOL. I do highly recommend watching Dr. Stone because familial love is a big focus and his aroace moments are ✨gems✨ Senku as an aroace icon is one of the reasons I kept up with this series haha
AROACE(spec) KOHAKU!!!!
I haven’t really given this much thought but I AGREE!! Spoiler, she shows some interest in Senku towards the end but it’s kept light/casual because they’ve always been like that - a long relationship built on familiarity. She never hesitates about loving him, but she also doesn’t show that love romantically. Maaaaybe implied but never aloud. Also, they are so funny when put in romantic situations together, it’s AMAZING. And when we spotlight their relationship, it’s very heartwarming (season 3!). Even the people around them agree their relationship is not romantic in nature. GAH they’re both so aroace coded.
Realizing I often don’t appreciate their friendship verbally because I know they’re shipped together. :,) it’s nice to talk about! Plus I LOVE Kohaku as a character, she’s fantastic.
I’m put my Gen analysis in a new post djfjskkd this is LONG
Well this definitely made me want to watch Dr Stone, maybe I'll start watching it again or I'll start reading the manga! Platonic and familial love and the found family trope is something I love, one of my favorite tropes. And I also absolutly love how much aroace is Senku, such an icon, it will be more funny to see it now that I know I'm aroace.
KOHAKU AND SENKU, THE AROACE DUO. They are both such good characters and I always loved their dynamic, strong girlboss and nerdy chief scientist. Their friendship is just so wonderful.
I will be waiting for your Gen analysis!!
