Maureen: Being asexual takes “ I don’t give a fuck” to another level.

Im potentially lithosexual and so Ive been trying to find out more about it. First, YES, litho- does mean "stone" or "rock". I think this is tied to the concept of people who are "stone", they like to give pleasure to their partners but do not want to recieve any in return. I see the phrase usually associated with lesbians, specifically "Stone Butch". Ive also heard of stone top or bottom but im not sure what that means. Im still not entirely sure about this word.

Wow! You found my old blog! Hello!

Yes, that is more or less what lithosexual means. Sexuality is nebulous and confusing, and the deeper you go the more complex it gets. I wish you luck in figuring it out!

Why has Intern Kareem survived over ten episodes like wtf is it just his beautiful ace powers shining through? Probably.

Headcanon accepted.

Hello! Um, I made some akoi/lithosexual merch (as well as tons of other pride merch) because there wasn't enough akoi/litho merch in the world. I figured y'all might be interested, but it's okay if you're not. <3 soluscheese(.)tumblr(.)com/post/148321438917

just a reminder that a lot of people supporting “light it up blue” aren’t aware of its negative connotations. 

a lot of people dont know why autism speaks is bad, and it never occurs to them to look up if it has issues.

it is none of our duties to educate these people during april, but keep in mind that people may not be malicious, just ignorant.

If you DO want to educate them, here is a 40 page essay about why autism speaks is bad, with works cited.

use this as you will

You are doing God's work (or at least the work of some unknown entity which we prefer to only acknowledge at the edge of our unconscious minds)

Our god is not a smiling god!

Bust seriously thanks. I’m glad you like the blog!

This isn't a question, but thank you so much for making an ace night vale blog. You rock!

Aww, thanks! I’m glad you like it!

Autistic Carlos who has a hard time identifying his feelings, leading him to identify himself as quoiromantic.

Autistic Carlos who meets Cecil and feels something strong toward him but has no idea what the emotion is or how to deal with it.

Autistic Carlos who acts awkwardly around Cecil and relies on businesslike scripts for his first year in town because if he doesn’t even know what this emotion is how can he know how to act? It’s best to deal with this once all data has been collected.

Autistic Carlos who only realizes that the emotion is romantic attraction when he hears Cecil’s voice break over the radio when he thinks he’s dead.

Autistic Carlos rehearsing the line “After everything that happened I just wanted to see you” over and over in his head and being grateful that Cecil doesn’t want him to say more because all these new emotions are really overwhelming.

Autistic grey aromantic Carlos taking time to figure out his emotions and Cecil respecting him 100% and giving him all the space he needs.

They (the man who is not tall and the man who is not short) are not allowed romantic relationships. This makes the job very popular with Night Vale’s aromantic population. However, over the course of working together and getting to know each other, the man who is not tall slowly realizes that he is in fact demiromantic and not aromantic as he thought. He is falling for the man who is not short. This is why the man who is not short has to die.

Someone has to be to blame.

Marcus Vanston is aromantic but not at all asexual. He has slept with most of the people in Night Vale. Having a one night stand with the billionaire has become a status symbol around town.

Consider for a moment: grey aromantic Janice Carlsberg.

At age eleven, she develops her first ever crush on Tamika Flynn.

She is embarrassed both by the fact that she has a crush and by the fact that she’s never had one before.

That’s why she burned the Registry of Middle School Crushes.

The hooded figures live as a collective aromantic community.

Aromantic Dana Cardinal who became an intern so she could tell her mother that the reason she wasn’t in a relationship was that she was focussing on her career.

Aromantic Dana Cardinal latching on to Cecil as a friend and mentor because he never seems to judge her lack of romantic attachment.

Aromantic Dana Cardinal meeting Maureen as an intern and learning about aromanticism from her. Finally having words to describe herself.

Aromantic Dana Cardinal and Maureen developing a queerplatonic relationship and both of them feeling safer knowing that’s all it is.

Cactus Jane, third most beautiful woman in Night Vale, is aromantic. Many people in town have tried to win Cactus June's heart, but she never felt comfortable with them. She knew they only wanted romance from her. The Traveler was the first man to offer Cactus Judy an alternative to romantic pursuits and loneliness. Their brief marriage was entirely queerplatonic. Frankly, that's what the Traveler prefers anyway.

Happy Aromantic Awareness Week!

I'm going to be out of town this week so if you send something in it may not get posted right away. But if you have any aromantic headcanons please send them and I'll post them as soon as possible. In the meantime I've set up a queue so you'll get one aromantic headcanon everyday this week. Enjoy!

Mild spoilers for episode 82 - Skating Rink

With this episode, we may have our first canonically aromantic character in the form of Maureen. She has previously said she doesn’t like boys, and was recently seen scoffing at the idea of dating in general. It’s not definitive, but it’s sure close enough that I will be latching on to it and never letting go. Aromantic Maureen for the win!
