I personally am not Aromantic or Asexual, but I do believe that people who are don't get enough rep. I feel like a lot of show/movies do this because their just HAS TO BE A LOVE INTERST FOR EVERY MAIN CHARECTER (not saying it's bad or anything just kinda annoying sometimes). It's also why I think the people who are Aro/Asexual are usually side characters. I do agree with you about Saiki K. I feel like he is a great way to show people that main characters/characters in general don't always NEED a love interest. A story can still be good without the main cast being in romantic/sexual relationships with each other. just saying. o_0
That was a nice touch to put on the timestamp for what hunicast episode did you get your information good one ,also I like the ace colors on his bowtie
Omg the way you described how your experience attraction is exactly what I experienced :O The girls always sideeyed me when I said "i have no type" and never a crush on any actor or character. When I thought about all the people I found attractive, it I didn't find any of them attractive based on looks or stuff. It mostly was their character and values that drew me to them and I started to find them attractive as a person - as a whole so to speak. Ngl I really wish for one of those badass and savage characters as a show lead, but they don't end up in x romances and one nightstands, but just don't give a damn if they could get the boy/girl
Yesss exactly! When my friends in college told me how they experience attraction I was like 😅😃🤔😨 WHATT 😂😂😂 And I realized all but like one of the so-called "crushes" I had growing up were just me thinking people were cool or really nice and thus wanting to be friends/closer with them, definitely NOT a crush lmaoo 🤯 I do believe I experience romantic attraction, but it's clearly very different than most (likely because of the whole ace/panromantic thing and since I'm autistic lol) And I agree!! I wish we could have more characters and shows like that too 😞😞 The fandom would probably ruin it anyway, but it would be so cool
One thing to point out as an aro ace person, I don’t think it’s wrong to like ships that go against a cannon orientation. Generally it’s not because someone wants to erase the rep, but because they like the way the characters interact. It’s a problem if someone is going “I like this ship and they can’t possibly be aroace” it’s fine imo if in a fan piece you want to explore dynamics in a way that goes against cannon, that what aus are for.
i dislike it because the sexuality is completely disregarded. if it was a few ship posts that would be tolerable but if i go into a fandom and there are like 3 posts about the character's aroaceness and a million about shipping them then its annoying. its the exact same as shipping a lesbian with a man, its just weird to me and erases rep.
@@chriscintron3320 oh I get that, I avoid pieces that do it, but I don't think it's a big huge "you're a bad person" thing that it's often made out to be. It's uncomfy 100% and reflects a concerning real life trend, it's still not something I think anyone should be harassed for.
@@Yourlocaltrashgoblin i wouldnt harass anyone for it but i also dont think its right. no ones a bad person for just shipping characters but it does actually show how little being aroace is respected.
@@chriscintron3320 I agree, but as pointed out in the video, there’s a weird amount of harassment and overarching personhood claims thrown at these people. I thinks it’s annoying, but ultimately fine (as I said it reflects a real life trend, and that is unfortunate) but I don’t think policing fan pieces that don’t directly cause harm, will do any good.
My situation with Alastor ships is weird lol. I also can't really see him in relationship but I got somehow attached to Radioapple against my will- Love the drawings btw
A game I love called In Stars and Time has some great ace representation (along with other lgbtqia+ ). It takes place in a fantasy world where a king is freezing the country in time and you're following a group that are going to stop but the main charactet gets stuck in a time loop
Im currently doing a playthrough, so Ima read dis later! I wanna figure out who is aorace (probably either Mirabelle or Siffrin, because Mirabelle disliked the idea of the earrings)
@@sophiarafferty Update: Finished the game just now! It is literally, probably, the most narratively satisfying and engaging game I have played. The pacing is 👌 perfect. I think it is even better than Omori for me, like a lot a lot better.
I absolutely loved this video! Also, thank you SO much for the chat about Alastor. As someone who's Aroace and ships him, it is so annoying to see THOSE comments. I really hope that people learn that Aroace is a spectrum and that his sexuality is up to interpretation! Anyway beautiful art! I subbed right away ❤
Yeah, people get really passionate about crapping on people for their ships. Just let people enjoy what they enjoy man 😞😞 And thank you! That's so nice of you 💜💜
Omg I’m actually quite happy to see this vid and that Aromantic, and the Ace spectrum is being represented in characters I do love! I’m asexual:) the art is amazing too! You draw better than me :’)
I personally headcannon Alastor as aroace but I don’t mind people shipping though the sexual stuff is … umm strange because he seems like he doesn’t like that suff. But I think thank people are aloud to have their own ideas on it. Also I love radiosilence lol.
That's where I'm at too. I'm fine with people shipping him with folks, but it doesn't feel right to make it sexual. Canonically he IS ace, and that alone makes it a gray area. But honestly, I'm not gonna jump in and say that to em. It's not my life, they can do what they want, I have no say 🤔🤔 (and I adore radiosilence, it's so tragic lol)
Me tooooo! I know when someone is attractive, but I don't feel... sexual interest (?) I don't know, I feel in love with personality and not with physical apparent. 😅
One of my most favorite podcasts ( The Magnus Archives ) is chock full of amazing representation, including asexual. The main character is ace, and the way they handle it is absolutely amazing
I'm a huge fan of Saiki K. It's such a good show and I find Saiki really relatable, and seeing you draw him makes me really happy! I really love your drawing!! (Really wish for the show to come back)
As an Ace Hazbin fan myself, I love the idea of Alastor's ships being viewed one-way or platonic. However, I have read takes from every side of the umbrella. Life's too short to be harassing others over shipping. Al's not real, he's not going to get mad at fans for interpretting his interactions in whatever way we like. Love the rep, and as long as fans aren't infantilizing him for his identity, I'm all for the ships.
Also, I’m going to confess something, I was a really big anti ship Alastor person at the time, but overtime I kind of realize that… why would I want a psychopath to represent me but also it’s not really any of my concern, as long as no one is forcing me to feel this way, then why am I even hating in the first place? I feel like it was mainly just because I see a lot of characters that represent me and media, and to see Fandoms ruin it by constantly sexualizing or romanticizing them made me feel unhappy because it reminds me that I am not really valid within most communities (- -;)
BRO IM SO HAPPY I DIDNT KNOW ALASTOR (ONE OF MY FAVE CHARACTERS) PERIDOT (MY COMFORT CHARACTER) AND SAKI K (A FAV CHARACTER) ARE ALL AROACE OR ASEXUAL OR AROMANTIC (IM AROACE 😧😧😧😧😧) i might have spelt character wrong idk
Aro/Ace Alastor for the win!! (He's my only Aro/Ace rep). And I think I ahve one more ace charater for you: Ford Pines from Gravity Falls. If you look into his charater I'm sure you'll see what I mean. Also I'm Aro/Ace too so I'm happy with this. Also your art is really cool
Here are some others if anyone's interested! Canon: Lilith Clawthorne from the owl house is aromantic! Monkey king from monkie kid is aroace, Gwenpool is also aroace! Not canon: I headcanon Stanford Pines from Gravity falls as aro and Donnie from rottmnt as ace Might add more later :)
Omg yeah, it's crazy how much love this series has gotten! It makes me so happy 😭😭😭 And I unfortunately couldn't find many agender characters in my search (or that I knew anything about), so I couldn't fit it in the series comfortably 😞😞 I am gonna be talking about other identities under the nonbinary umbrella in the next video though 🤔
THESE DRAWINGS OF MY FAV CHARACTERS ARE SO COOL!!!! (ESP BEING AN AROACE PERSON MYSELF) just sad you didnt draw lilith from toh tho -_- (shes canon but not really shown) ALSO PERIDOT PERIDOT PERIDOT PERIDOT PERIDOT
I agree what you said about alastor mostly but it really isn't down to "personal perspective" because in the past faust (i can't spell their full name 😭) has stated over and over Alastor is AroAce and the creators are just too scared to say it. Aswell as when Vivziepop was asked this question she gave the really weird answer of "i don't want to say because i don't want to trample shipping" which many interpret as a light conformation. But yeah just thought id say. All your drawing are so cute btw AAA i love Saiki so much you did him justice fr
Yeah, I think they're writing him with the idea that he's aroace in mind, but don't wanna ruin the "fun" or anything. And I saw that they quote-unquote "retconned" what Faust said after they left the team too :/ I kinda wish they'd just make it official that he's aroace cause it feels odd they'd write him that way, but not say it's canon 🤔 Plus, aroace people deserve more love and representation, so it's sad.. almost like the crew is trying to protect themselves from losing viewers or hate or something - thinking of themselves and the shippers instead of their aro+ace viewers, which Alastor SHOULD be for 😓😓 but alas.. I did end up going with him being ace in the vid just because that's the portion that's "officially" canon instead of just implied. I even personally believe he's aroace as well 🤔 but I decided to stick to him being ace. I also thought it would be a good to talk about the toxic ways people attack shippers because I understand the frustration of seeing him in a romantic relationship, but I don't see why people have to be so hateful and aggressive (or passive aggressive) about it all. Just let people like what they like 😞😞😞 Anyway, it's really hard when a creator or team is so ambiguous and confusing cause it causes a lot of problems for viewers :/ Either way though, I really appreciate this comment. I appreciate you bringing it up honestly! Also, thank you so much for the compliment 🥺 and I also LOVE Saiki K 😭😭 It's so special to me, so I'm glad I managed to do Saiki some justice aha 💜💜
@@cudalynns ships don't really bother me unless they're using them to sexualise alastor or if they're claiming he couldn't be aroace because "he works so well with ___!" I really wish they would confirm it too, it's causing so much unnecessary drama in the community. More than just saying he's aro would in my opinion I appreciate you drawing him only with the ace flag too. I drew him with the ace and aro flag for pride last year and the only thing people in the comments wanted to talk about was his sexuality and it made my comments section a huge argument. Nobody was talking about the characters I just spent hours drawing 😭😭 Aswell as Saiki being Aroace many say hes Trans too. Which would make me and him matching perfectly lol. He's so real for immediately switching his gender when he was born. Whenever I'm down saiki k is one of the only shows that can make me feel less shitty again so I'm happy someone else shares that same place in their heart for it. Alot of drawings of him depict him with other expressions alot which isn't a bad thing but it's nice to see his iconic flat face
@@lucid_3938 Aw, I'm sorry that people were being so toxic in your comments, that really sucks 🥺🥺💜 And yeah! I love that Saiki's trans, I wish more people noticed that fact or talked about it more cause it's amazing 🙏 I genuinely love that show and it actually made me so happy to see so many people in this comment section saying they were glad to see him in this video 🥰🥰 Also, I agree with you about his flat face - it didn't feel right to have him posing or emoting lol he does NOT wanna be here lmaoooo
@@AmetistJones Panromantic flag has a heart in the middle and the alternative: blue (binary men), green (individuals who are genderless or gender-neutral people), orange (genders that are in-between the binary and outside of the binary), and red (binary women). -wiki
@@Auspop Yeah, I saw combos like bisexual flag with aromantic heart or progressive flag with panromantic heart but I didn't know they have "default" look... More to know...
Yeah, I know there's another panromantic flag, but I just prefer the one with the little gray heart I guess 😓😓 It's probably hard to see with how small my avatar is on a screen though 😭
Can you please do Non-binary next? I don't care if it's the episode right after this or the next one but I just want to see it! I feel like not a lot of people know/care about people being Non-binary, I've even had personal experiences but please do Non-binary one day.
That's actually a part of my next video! I wanted to make one focusing just on gender identity and expression instead of just sexuality since those are kinda forgotten about a lot in the community
Thank you so much! I totally agree with that, I try so hard to find gender pride things and that sucks. I may not know anyone else who's gender pride like I am (Non-binary) but I still would like more gender pride to be known and shown both IRL and in media overall, even before I became Non-binary I still wanted more of gender pride to be shown.
I totally accept and understand the Asexual Peridot headcanon/canon, but I don’t agree that her reaction to fusion is a clue/reason for it. Fusion isn’t just a sex allegory, it’s meant to represent any deep or significant bond between two individuals- it can be romantic (Garnet), familial (Steven+any crystal gem), somewhat platonic (Stevonni at first), etc.
Edit: 1] woops forgot for a second that fusion can be between more than two individuals And 2] this is just MY opinion. But I really think that the show wants us to see fusion more as a special bond than inherently a sexual thing
@@caracaracat2958 I personally agree with you, fusion is simply an intimate thing about trust and bonds, not anything sexual. But I remembered a lot of people in the fandom had asked whether or not she was ace, just BECAUSE of her reaction to Garnet's offer (though this was roughly S2 era fandom, so we didn't know a lot about fusion yet) And because of that, that scene came up as the only indicator of her being ace when I was doing my research for this vid. Probably shoulda just left that tidbit out in hindsight though, cause you're totally right. Sorry about that 🙏
Personally on the topic of shipping, I dislike shipping at its core. It’s toxic, and it usually leads to discourse and problematic behaviors in communities. This leads to my views on shipping queer characters; I dislike it, especially if there’s already a canon paring with any character, I dislike shipping. (Think Zelink being canon, and people shipping Sidlink, or Charlie being lesbian, and with vaggie- but shipping Charlie and Alastor) I especially dislike shipping confirmed Aro/ace characters, they already don’t get enough rep, and shipping them is basically a form of erasure.
Tbh I don't think its ok to do an aroace episode thing AFTER pride month it feels excluding like we DONT belong in the community- I don't blame you I blame the bad timing-
Representation is representation, regardless of what month it’s posted in. This creator states they too are Ace. I am confident they are not excluding your or their community.
@@LizzyIsMe159 You clearly don't understand....the community has been excluded a lot people saying they DONT belong in lgbtq+ because the community is about who you love and what you identify as and because of that people exclude them from the community them doing this AFTER pride month feeds into that idea that they shouldn't be celebrated DURING pride month
@@LizzyIsMe159 I sent a message but it didnt go through I guess...what I wanted to say is my sexuality has been constantly excluded because the lgbtq+ community is about who you love...and celebrating it AFTER pride month just is disheartening because were told we don't belong in the community and being celebrated after the entire community is celebrated feeds into that fact.
Okay yeah… I can totally see where you are coming from. I took your comment the wrong way. It sounded (to me) like you meant pride month was the only appropriate time or it’s excluding the community. I apologize. I too am Ace and was taken aback. I’m sorry you’ve felt excluded within the community. You are important and you are so, so valid. ❤

And I saw that they quote-unquote "retconned" what Faust said after they left the team too :/ I kinda wish they'd just make it official that he's aroace cause it feels odd they'd write him that way, but not say it's canon 🤔 Plus, aroace people deserve more love and representation, so it's sad.. almost like the crew is trying to protect themselves from losing viewers or hate or something - thinking of themselves and the shippers instead of their aro+ace viewers, which Alastor SHOULD be for 😓😓 but alas..
I did end up going with him being ace in the vid just because that's the portion that's "officially" canon instead of just implied. I even personally believe he's aroace as well 🤔 but I decided to stick to him being ace. I also thought it would be a good to talk about the toxic ways people attack shippers because I understand the frustration of seeing him in a romantic relationship, but I don't see why people have to be so hateful and aggressive (or passive aggressive) about it all. Just let people like what they like 😞😞😞
Anyway, it's really hard when a creator or team is so ambiguous and confusing cause it causes a lot of problems for viewers :/ Either way though, I really appreciate this comment. I appreciate you bringing it up honestly! Also, thank you so much for the compliment 🥺 and I also LOVE Saiki K 😭😭 It's so special to me, so I'm glad I managed to do Saiki some justice aha 💜💜
@@cudalynns ships don't really bother me unless they're using them to sexualise alastor or if they're claiming he couldn't be aroace because "he works so well with ___!" I really wish they would confirm it too, it's causing so much unnecessary drama in the community. More than just saying he's aro would in my opinion
I appreciate you drawing him only with the ace flag too. I drew him with the ace and aro flag for pride last year and the only thing people in the comments wanted to talk about was his sexuality and it made my comments section a huge argument. Nobody was talking about the characters I just spent hours drawing 😭😭
Aswell as Saiki being Aroace many say hes Trans too. Which would make me and him matching perfectly lol. He's so real for immediately switching his gender when he was born. Whenever I'm down saiki k is one of the only shows that can make me feel less shitty again so I'm happy someone else shares that same place in their heart for it. Alot of drawings of him depict him with other expressions alot which isn't a bad thing but it's nice to see his iconic flat face
@@lucid_3938 Aw, I'm sorry that people were being so toxic in your comments, that really sucks 🥺🥺💜
And yeah! I love that Saiki's trans, I wish more people noticed that fact or talked about it more cause it's amazing 🙏 I genuinely love that show and it actually made me so happy to see so many people in this comment section saying they were glad to see him in this video 🥰🥰
Also, I agree with you about his flat face - it didn't feel right to have him posing or emoting lol he does NOT wanna be here lmaoooo
The panromantic pin on your avatar looks like a pansexual pin imo
Aren't they same?
@@AmetistJones Panromantic flag has a heart in the middle
and the alternative: blue (binary men), green (individuals who are genderless or gender-neutral people), orange (genders that are in-between the binary and outside of the binary), and red (binary women). -wiki
@@Auspop Yeah, I saw combos like bisexual flag with aromantic heart or progressive flag with panromantic heart but I didn't know they have "default" look... More to know...
@@AmetistJones yeah
Yeah, I know there's another panromantic flag, but I just prefer the one with the little gray heart I guess 😓😓 It's probably hard to see with how small my avatar is on a screen though 😭
I just wanna mention that Peridot is actually aroace and not just ace :D
Just wanted to let you Peridot was confirmed to be aroace rep by the creator
Can ya draw Columbia and Magenta from Rocky Horror next?? =D
Can you please do Non-binary next? I don't care if it's the episode right after this or the next one but I just want to see it! I feel like not a lot of people know/care about people being Non-binary, I've even had personal experiences but please do Non-binary one day.
That's actually a part of my next video! I wanted to make one focusing just on gender identity and expression instead of just sexuality since those are kinda forgotten about a lot in the community
Thank you so much! I totally agree with that, I try so hard to find gender pride things and that sucks. I may not know anyone else who's gender pride like I am (Non-binary) but I still would like more gender pride to be known and shown both IRL and in media overall, even before I became Non-binary I still wanted more of gender pride to be shown.
Sick.
in my heart daryl dixon is aroace i dont care what anyone says
(the spinoff series doesnt exist to me)
Ohh I've never seen anyone say that before, but I totally see it 😲😲
I totally accept and understand the Asexual Peridot headcanon/canon, but I don’t agree that her reaction to fusion is a clue/reason for it. Fusion isn’t just a sex allegory, it’s meant to represent any deep or significant bond between two individuals- it can be romantic (Garnet), familial (Steven+any crystal gem), somewhat platonic (Stevonni at first), etc.
Edit: 1] woops forgot for a second that fusion can be between more than two individuals
And 2] this is just MY opinion. But I really think that the show wants us to see fusion more as a special bond than inherently a sexual thing
@@caracaracat2958 I personally agree with you, fusion is simply an intimate thing about trust and bonds, not anything sexual.
But I remembered a lot of people in the fandom had asked whether or not she was ace, just BECAUSE of her reaction to Garnet's offer (though this was roughly S2 era fandom, so we didn't know a lot about fusion yet)
And because of that, that scene came up as the only indicator of her being ace when I was doing my research for this vid. Probably shoulda just left that tidbit out in hindsight though, cause you're totally right. Sorry about that 🙏
Alistor is canonically aro/ace, but I do think the ace colors on his bow tie look nice :)
Personally on the topic of shipping, I dislike shipping at its core. It’s toxic, and it usually leads to discourse and problematic behaviors in communities. This leads to my views on shipping queer characters; I dislike it, especially if there’s already a canon paring with any character, I dislike shipping. (Think Zelink being canon, and people shipping Sidlink, or Charlie being lesbian, and with vaggie- but shipping Charlie and Alastor)
I especially dislike shipping confirmed Aro/ace characters, they already don’t get enough rep, and shipping them is basically a form of erasure.
Personally, if there’s already a canon relationship, I have a huge issue with shipping them with other characters.

Tbh I don't think its ok to do an aroace episode thing AFTER pride month it feels excluding like we DONT belong in the community- I don't blame you I blame the bad timing-
wtf 🙄 like seriously shut up
Representation is representation, regardless of what month it’s posted in. This creator states they too are Ace. I am confident they are not excluding your or their community.
@@LizzyIsMe159 You clearly don't understand....the community has been excluded a lot people saying they DONT belong in lgbtq+ because the community is about who you love and what you identify as and because of that people exclude them from the community them doing this AFTER pride month feeds into that idea that they shouldn't be celebrated DURING pride month
@@LizzyIsMe159 I sent a message but it didnt go through I guess...what I wanted to say is my sexuality has been constantly excluded because the lgbtq+ community is about who you love...and celebrating it AFTER pride month just is disheartening because were told we don't belong in the community and being celebrated after the entire community is celebrated feeds into that fact.
Okay yeah… I can totally see where you are coming from. I took your comment the wrong way. It sounded (to me) like you meant pride month was the only appropriate time or it’s excluding the community. I apologize. I too am Ace and was taken aback. I’m sorry you’ve felt excluded within the community. You are important and you are so, so valid. ❤
