Ace Culture - Blog Posts

You mean others aren’t immune to “sexual attractiveness” what ever that is?

Ok, so we’re not plants we are all dragons with magical powers, and like cake. I think the only things forgotten were world domination and that we also like garlic bread.

Ace culture is hearing allo people describe a thing you thought was innocuous as sexy and being absolutely gobsmackled

Why the hell am I only hearing about this at 23:02?!?!?

HAPPY ACE DAY BABES!!!!

Hey what if we reblogged out ace specifications to show the diversity of the ace spectrum?!

I’ll start and if ya want let’s keep it going!

I’m AroAce and I personally am sex-neutral. I wouldn’t have sex but I’m not repulsed by it and even enjoy reading smut on occasion. I don’t really like the concept of being in a relationship but am open to QPRs.

Love y’all!!

🖤🤍💜

today is the first international asexuality day! on this day, we celebrate those that are under the ace umbrella, including demisexual, gray-asexual, and all kinds of other ace identities.

asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity.

asexuality is valid. asexuality exists.

if you are an allosexual person, check in with your friends that are in the ace spectrum today! let them know you are with them every step of the way. and educate those who do not know what asexuality is.

and for us in the spectrum, let's use this day to celebrate our identity! we are in this together, let's not lose the community spirit. we have enough love for everyone.

sending love to my people, happy asexuality day!

asexual sex workers are braver than any US marine

CASTLE SWIMMER S2 SPOILERS AHEAD

Seriously don't read if you're not completely caught up!

I just got caught up on Castle Swimmer and HOLY SHIT THE REUNION WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE!!!

I cannot wait for next season! Now that the two found families have collided we get MEGA FOUND FISH FAMILY!!!

Also I was so pleasantly surprised with the ace/aro rep this season! I already found the hints of backstory interesting but that coupled with the emotional breakdown and fan theory fuel in the last few chapters just made me connect with Neths character so much more. Really well done Wendy👏👏👏

So fans of Anne Rice have probably heard of the new series being made on Interview with a Vampire. I did not have high hopes for this from the start for many reasons. I'd seen so many adaptations and remakes absolutely screwed that at this point it never excites me to hear one is being made. The more I heard about the changes that were being made the more disappointed I was.

I saw nothing wrong with changing Louis's race as it seemed to fit the time period and story. Then I heard about the changes made to Claudia's character and I was pissed. The whole point of Claudia is that she is forever trapped in a child's body while her mind ages. Changing her age to late teens completely erases everything about the character and that entire storyline. It's a pointless change and it takes away the originality of the story.

This last change just made me sad. It recently came out that this series confirms Louis and Lestat's relationship and will heavily rely on sex between them. Now I was actually very happy to hear about the relationship confirmation (I've always shipped them so this was awesome news) but what disappoints me is the sex part. In Anne Rice's series the vampires cannot have sex. Now maybe they changed this because they thought it would draw more people in or maybe it was for representation. Either way it upsets me because this was the perfect opportunity for some asexual representation. It was right there! They wouldn't have had to change anything! To have an asexual relationship represented in something so well known would have been huge! Instead they actively chose to change that part of the lore and its sad. Asexuality is already barely represented and when it is its often poorly represented so to see this choice made when we were so close to something awesome is just...disheartening.

This. This exactly ^

Every fucking time.

Ace culture is someone asking "hey is this person hot?" and starting your answer with "Well, theoretically-"

Fr though. Like bitch I read more smut than you could fathom. Some of the shit I've seen would make Jesus cry. I've traveled to the depths of a03 and come out the otherside unscathed! I am a God amongst men and you shall respect my knowledge! I. AM. NOT. A. BEAN.

Hi so uh, please don't call asexual people innocent or adorable for not liking or being interested in sex? It's patronising and feels icky.

Please though?

Ace culture is wanting to live with friends without having to date or have a crush on them. Just let me and my friends live in a big house together without any assumptions.

-?

It honestly made me so unreasonably excited when I saw she came out. To see that representation in someone I've admired since long before I even came out? It was awesome! Anyone who watched her video knows she kept alot of personal details private but just the idea of seeing someone I relate to on the same journey I went on is really nice I guess? It was like one more thing to relate too.

WERE ANY OF YOU GOING TO TELL ME THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PHYSICAL REACTION TO HOT PEOPLE??? LIKE HEARTRATE RISES AND ALL THAT. THAT’S REAL??

Whenever i hear my friends talk about crushes or relationships i get really confused. Like, one of my friends was talking about how this guy (one he's hard-core pining for) called him "dear", and how happy(?) he was about it. And i'm just ???What???? Why is that good?? it just sounds really uncomfortable to me,,, Like i get platonic(?) crushes, i've had many of those, but i lack much understanding of romantic ones...

i've never really understood what people meant when they said they find people "hot" or attractive. i've seen people as pretty and nice to look at, certainly, but i've never quite understood the concept of physical attraction. i <3 being in a QPR, though, those are wonderful.

Supporting bisexuals is ace culture
