ACE WEEK COMIC...3!!
Aphobia is actually so wild though. I’m literally just chilling. Just going about my silly little life. And billions of people decide that my existence challenges their worldview and they’re not okay with that. That’s so funny. We have too much power.
Happy pride, y'all!
I hope everyone is having a fun and safe time! I wanted to do some pride art celebrating my fellow Aro/Ace folks :)
Just heard the sentence "non practicing bisexuals" for aroace people and I'm losing it

Happy Pride…2!!
Happy Pride
it's all coming together
October 22-28 is Ace Week 2023, so I’d like to give a spotlight to some manga I have enjoyed that have also touched on asexuality.
I Want To Be A Wall by Honami Shirono
A 3 volume Josei manga about the lavender marriage between Gakurouta, a closeted gay man who pines for his childhood friend, and Yuriko, an aromantic, asexual BL fangirl.
She Loves To Cook, and She Loves To Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki
An ongoing yuri Josei manga with a TV adaptation about two women who bond over food. The series recently introduced Yako, an asexual lesbian, and it’s possible that protagonist Nomoto may be on the ace spectrum as well.
Is Love The Answer? by Uta Isaki
A single volume josei manga about Chika, a young college student who has always considered herself an “alien” because she has no desire for romance or physical intimacy, but finds community with people like herself.
Our Dreams At Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare by Yuhki Kamatani
A 4 volume Seinen manga about a closeted gay boy who gets to know the patrons of a drop-in center who all turn out to be part of the LGBTQ community. Someone-san might be considered a deuteragonist of the story.
I’d also like to mention two yuri manga I haven’t finished yet- I have only read the first volume of both- but because of what others have said I know they feature asexual characters!
Catch These Hands! (murata)
Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon (Shio Usui)
new hat :)
there’s this post going around that’s like ‘what if alien languages had pronouns that didn’t include gender information!’ and there’s about five different enthusiastic replies and like, i get the excitement but i’m begging you to learn about languages other than english
An incomplete list of languages that don’t have gendered pronouns (based on what people mentioned in the notes/tags:
- Mandarin Chinese (spoken)
- Cantonese
- Japanese (they exist but are rarely used)
- Korean
- Indonesian
- Malay
- Tagalog
- Swahili
- Xhosa
- Farsi
- Turkish
- Armenian
- Finnish
- Hungarian
- Estonian
- Sámegiella (& most other Sami languages)
- Yaqui
- ASL
Let’s be real here, English is highly unusual among languages in having grammatical gender align so precisely with the social concept of gender. In many other languages, not only do you get “masculine” or “feminine” inanimate objects, but you also get words that are gendered socially that don’t take the grammatical gender you expect. German Mädchen “girl” is neutral. Latin virtus “manliness” is feminine.
KiSwahili and isiXhosa arguably do have grammatical genders—more than a dozen of them. None of them have anything to do with the social concept of gender. In the Dyirbal language of Australia, there are four genders: “masculine” (which includes most animals), “feminine” (which includes fire, water, and violence), fruit, and miscellaneous.
