happy asexual awareness week !! always remember ... BE ACE EAT CAKE
Happy Halloween & Asexual Awareness Week!
Here’s Gwenpool cat prepping for spooky season.
Here are some bonus alternate versions I made with different shading and some recolored with the colors of the asexual flag, using the color gradient tool on Procreate.
I wanted to do something for Asexual Awareness Week. Wanted to show appreciation by posing with the two characters that have grown with me over the years: Syre and Tyberius. They are an asexual couple who have had ups and downs and are completely comfortable with one another through a very close friendship. I have other ace characters but I wanted to showcase these two more since they have a very special place in my heart.
I’ve identified as ace/aro for most of my life. I didn’t really understand what it was until recently when I heard the term asexual. For the longest time I felt weird and out of place among all my friends, who were experiencing romantic and sexual attraction, and I wasn’t. I was never interested in a relationships and anytime someone showed that interest I would get really uncomfortable and uneasy. How people would always tell me “You just haven’t met the right person yet,” or “You’re a late bloomer, you’ll change your mind.”
Now I understand what it means to be ace/aro, that I can love platonically and that’s okay. Friendships are more special to me than romance or sex. That I don’t find people attractive in the slightest. Coming out to my parents was a little hard since they didn’t understand what it was (and they still don’t). But my parents show their support the best way they can and I am also surrounded by positive people who I can call friends. Friends that respect me and my orientation. So I thank you friends (you know who you are :D). I love you guys with all my little heart and in my own special way.
For Ace week I will be posting about as many Asexual identities under the umbrella! I did Ansexual but now lets do some more!
(I'm Ansexual and Aegosexual, I personally think it's gross- but whatever floats your boat I guess....)
First the Asexual Flag! An Asexual or commonly Ace is someone who feels little to no sexual attraction.
Next Aceflux! Acelux is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum. It is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum. An aceflux individual may feel very strongly asexual one day and less asexual another day, they might feel demisexual or greysexual at times. Some aceflux individuals may feel like they are allosexual at times. (Yes I copy and pasted it, :p) There Are three flags, all three apply and if you choose or realize you might be this then you can choose whichever!
Nowwwwww onto Aegosexual. Aegosexual, also known as autochorissexual, is a term used to describe individuals on the asexual spectrum who feel disconnected from the subject of arousal. Although they may partake in such actions having to do with it. You can search up and learn more from other sources on the internet as well!
Next up is Autosexual, people are more attracted to themselves than to others. I'm giving basic descriptions on them and you can continue further research! Here's those flags!
Onto Cupiosexual. Cupiosexual are people who have a desire for sexual activity but do not experience sexual attraction
Swinging towards Demisexual, Demisexuals are Individuals who only experience sexual attraction after forming a strong emotional connection.
That's all for now!

The "A" Stands For Aro-Ace.
Happy Ace Awareness Week! I actually made these about a month ago as a project for my social design class, but I decided to wait until now to post it.
The last slide may be a bit confusing because...there is no link in my bio. At least on Tumblr. This was made to be an instagram carousel.
BUT, I will post the link right here! It has the sources I used to make this, as well as some others that have more information than I could get into in 10 slides (instagram limits you to 10 images per post). Feel free to check those out!
Enjoy!

jessica rabbit is literally a sex symbol though she can't be asexual?
she is in romo with a rabbit because he makes her laugh and aside from using her looks to get things out of people she literally never once shows interest in anything or anyone sexually through the entire movie and is clearly appalled when anyone makes advances towards her like there is canonical evidence that jessica rabbit from the classic motion picture who framed rogger rabbit is an asexual character
Yuuri Katsuki is Demisexual
First off a real quick definition of Demisexual for those who may not know about it:
Demisexuals are characterized by a lack of sexual attraction toward any person unless they become deeply emotionally or romantically connected with a specific person or persons. The level of connection it takes for sexual desire to form is dependent on how close the relationship is rather than initial attraction.
Reasons why I think Yuuri is Demisexual:
-The entire show is advertised and described partly as ‘a sexual awakening ‘ for Yuuri
- at 23 years old he has not dated or had sex or really put much thought into actively having sex appeal
- when presented with a sexy routine , he doesnt know how to define sexual attraction
- laments and repeats the definition of sexual attraction over and over again to the point he associates ‘losing all senses of reasoning’ with the gluttony of eating his favourite food dish
- honestly tries to equate craving food with craving sex because thats how far out there sexual desire is for him (which from all of the rampant ace cake jokes in the asexual community this is a pretty common expierence)
- privately scolds himself thats hes a man and 23 and should be able to have sex appeal ….if he only wanted to (which screams toxic masculinity and societal expectations of everyone being interested in sex , something of course the show explores and rectifies at least in the aspect of gender roles via Yuuri’s genderfluid eros outfit and mindset towards performing in a feminine way not masculine because hes more comfortable in that role )
- eventually figures out how to channel sexual desire into his routine by imagining seducing a playboy (a.k.a Victor who he is romantically attracted to)
- blatantly states that he wants Victor to watch him perform this routine , in a way that makes it clear hes thinking only of him/ only cares about his response
- Victor specifically helps Yuuri perfect this routine by stating things like ‘skate like youre trying to seduce me’
- as he gets more comfortable with Victor he becomes more receptive to Victors affectionate advances as well as his suggestive ones like look at episode 2 compared to episode 8:
- which is really important because a lot of the early part of their relationship is spent with Yuuri rejecting Victor , which confused a lot of fans because they are obviously romantically interested in each other
-but when you look at the specific scenes scenes Victor is rejected there is always a sexual element involved (Wanting to sleep in the same bed together , The offer to be whatever role Yuuri needs him to be , specifically be his boyfriend : in the context of power dynamics of coach and student its pretty easy to allude he means he’ll sleep with Yuuri to motivate him. ) versus the advances Yuuri accepts is more comfortable with and grows to repricate (hugs , affection touching , holding hands)
- the more time passes , and the more evident it is that Yuuri is falling in love with Victor , the more natural his Eros routine gets for him (and more intricate we go from flirty eye contact to licking his lips to blowing a kiss as his opener) :
- Yuuri establishes with words and gestures before every Eros performance that he specifically is performing and thinking about Victor. and this evolves as he gets more in his element of his sexuality , not for the audiences consumption , but for Victors
- Its obvious even looking at how Yuuri interacts with Victor before he performs the Eros routine at different points of time in the show , sexual awakening indeed:
- last thing that really clinches the idea of Demisexual Yuuri is the Eros routine itself compared to other ‘sexual’ routines ( Specifically Seung Gil-Lee and Christophe Giacometti’s. )
- Chris’s routine is overtly sexual in the body language that its clear he is sexually interested in anyone who will provide him sexual gratification , the routine is very ‘come hither ye who dare’
- Seung Gil-Lee on the other hand is much more so a focus on being a conduit of peoples sexual desires , but having no agenda himself in his performance except to win presentation points (his body language and face tell very different stories , and he establishes the audiences reaction means nothing to him)
- Yuuri on the other hand no matter what he uses as a story bases for his routine , ultimately thinks of Victor , of seducing him and only him , and the audience just happens to get to watch that seduction. This is visually established with the opening of the routine where Yuuri turns and looks at Victor and only Victor before dancing
In conclusion : Yuuri is Demisexual , have a nice day.
Seggesting a character might be ace.

My Asexual Story, 2018.
Another little autobiographical comic I whipped together (this was drawn in like two hours tops so don’t judge the drawings lmao). To clarify, I am in a happy long-term committed relationship with a non-ace girl and we’re both very happy with our relationship, and I have never had bad experiences with relationships because of my asexuality. Being ace isn’t a big deal to me - I barely think about it - but asexuality is something that a lot of people seem to have trouble fully understanding, so I wanted to take some time to describe it the way I see it in my life and from my perspective. Every story is different - here’s mine.
Heyyy woo! I’m finally ready to share this online~ This has just been my experience being Ace. I’m selling these at cons and will have them at MSP Spring Con (at the MN state fair grounds, yo!)
But I’ve also been trying out gumroad too - so you can get a pdf of it off there too if you want~
because the valentines are coming and people are asking questions
This time of year can be frustrating for people in the aro/ace community.
I will be here, whenever you need to talk.
