#CW ace discourse

[ace-beast]

I’m sure this will be passed around and shared here in the oncoming weeks, but this is an EXCELLENT discussion/essay.

I got here after the first huge surge of “discourse” so I’m not traumatized by the discussion of it, but for others, I think she does a great job of going over it all from a factual, historical standpoint that isn’t too triggering. Worth a watch whether you were a part of that or not.

[aromantic-pantyanarchy]

I wasn't sure if I wanted to be the one to bring it up. But, I think the news has spread anyways.

I guess I would just like to say that I would caution against defending asexual people by saying "what are you mad about, they literally don't even DO anything!"

For one, that's their argument, right? That ace people don't do enough, that they haven't "proven" that they've "earned" the right to claim oppressed status or whatever? I think this line of discussion is only going to bolster TERF and exclusionist talking points in the future.

But also, like, trans people don't DO anything, gay and bi and queer people don't do anything, not in the regards of what gatekeeping transvestigators ought to care about. Everyone here is just minding their own business. Ace people DO what any other queer person DOES, publicly advocate for a life and relationships that make them comfortable and happy. That's the point which makes these people outraged.

Jokes are fine and all, and I'm not trying to hold anyone accountable, I'd just like to put this into the conversation and maybe curb some statements which maybe imply that ace people, like, should be unseen? Won't become visible targets in the coming years? That kinda thing.

It's upsetting to see "don't tag as aroace" in aro or ace post like why

I get where you're coming from anon, I can completely understand why it would be upsetting to see smth like that, esp as an aroace person. But at the same time, I get why ppl would be doing this as well, and tbh I can't really blame them.

Thing is, at least in the posts I see that have stuff like this in them, "don't tag as aroace" isn't an attack on aroace ppl or their experiences. Moreso it's about OP being tired that aro and ace are treated as interchangeable terms, and ppl assuming that if someone is aro they MUST be ace as well and vice versa, essentially erasing any experience that is specifically defined by the person being ONLY aro or ONLY ace and not the other. It's OP's way of trying to say "my experience is NOT an aroace one, please stop trying to erase my identity and my experiences by assuming I am aroace just bc I said I was aro/ace".

So in short, and I mean this in the kindest most reassuring way possible, it's not an attack on aroace ppl. You're allowed to relate to it even if you're aroace! But by putting the #aroace tag onto a post that's explicitly not about being aroace, you're signalling to the OP that either you haven't noticed that it's not an aroace post, or you don't care that it's not one, even if that's not your intention with it. It might feel to OP that you, whether intentionally or not, are contributing to the erasure that non-aroace aspec ppl already have to face enough. It makes sense this is smth people might also be upset by, and I think ppl are allowed to have boundaries about it.

Of course there's nothing stopping you from going against their wishes. But it's a boundary that's really not that hard to respect imo, even if you don't completely understand where it's coming from. And if it still feels too upsetting, you can always just not reblog posts like these.

A-spec discourse is stupid but especially if you’re not a-spec stay the fuck out of a-spec discouse. No one wants to hear what you think about sex favorable aces Natalie

[luminescentmoth]

I know a lot of people see ace discourse as being a purely online thing but there really is a certain raw pain in having your friends debate in front of your face whether or not you "count" as queer. Then you get home from school and open up social media and every positive post about asexuality has been coopted and twisted to make fun of people like you. You want to make a presentation for a debate competition about asexuality but AVEN isn't listed as a website you're allowed to source from. There aren't really any resources you can use, not unless you're willing to risk disqualification. You try to get other queer/LGBT students to join your effort to get AVEN put on the list. They say "i just don't think asexuals are an oppressed group." "Idk if asexuality is something we should grouping with LGBT."

People were less cruel and vitriolic irl than online, but there were still real life consequences to the discourse around asexuality. It wasn't just some petty terminally online bickering we can look back on and laugh.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

Hi, I just saw a blog have a DNF for 'ace discourse blogs' and was wondering if you could explain what that means? Back in my day, if someone hated ace discourse, it was because they were aphobes. Is that still the case or is it just the youth misusing the term the same way they misuse proship? Thanks! 🤍

Yeah, I'm not good at deciphering how people mean these things a lot of the time either. In a case like this, what I'd do is a search to see if they've posted anything about asexuality or aces. And if it's positive, I figure we're good, if it's negative or I can't find anything then I don't follow. (There may be an innocent reason for there being nothing, but sometimes too past ace exclusionists will have purged their blog so people don't know they used to be part of that whole thing, so I always figure better safe than sorry if they have a thing like that in their description.)

If you're not sure how to search type username.tumblr.com/search/asexual into the url bar and repeat for ace.

All the best!

[kanenites]

why was everyone posting abt ace discourse a few hours ago It is 2023 . that is a 2018 discourse. why do you still care. like i have my opinions on it but its literally pointless to discuss bc no one in real life gives a fuck

Why Is Misdemeanor Of the Heart's Reader...

White Coded?

Yep, I said it. Come, take a seat and get cozy in the Fox Den while Mamma Kit answers some questions.

CW: Discussions of race and racism in a historical context and me being a wordy ass bitch

I've seen some discourse around Human!Alastor readers and writers and have gotten some of these questions myself over the last few months.

Firstly- I am white. I'm so fucking white that I use SPF 100 sunscreen. I grew up in Alaska. The history I learned growing up wasn't African American history; it was Alaska Native history. I didn’t learn about how we fucked over African American people in America’s early history. Instead, I learned how we fucked over the villages of the land I was raised on.

Why does this matter? The current accepted fanon for Alastor's human life is that he was a Black or mixed-race radio host who died in 1933 and reached his mid to late 30s or 40s. We know he had a successful career and was also a serial killer. He favored jazz, and rye is his drink of choice. He exists somewhere on the ace spectrum.

Time for a little math. Let's go with the middle ground—he was 40 in 1933. That means he would have been born around 1893. Let’s assume his mother was 25 when he was born. She would have been born in 1868. Using the same age for her mother, Alastor's grandmother would have been born in 1843. Remember this—it’ll matter in a minute.

For MisD and all of my human Alastor writing, as well as the works of many other human Alastor writers, we approach Alastor's life through a historical lens. I, like many others, enjoy exploring a time period rich with change—dynamic and vibrant with energy, money, and hope.

What does this mean? This means Alastor would have faced significant amounts of racism. Being Black, mixed-race, or how well he could pass as white would all drastically impact his life. It affected what opportunities he had, the education he received, and how laws were applied to him.

Ready for a history lesson? The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It declared all enslaved people in rebellious areas of the United States to be free. Alastor's grandmother—based on the ages we used earlier—would have been a 20-year-old woman at that time.

Alastor would have been raised by a first-generation free woman. He likely wouldn’t have had access to public education, instead being taught in group homeschool-like sessions by those who had learned to read and write.

If he was mixed-race, he would have faced significant discrimination from all of society.

The Civil Rights Movement in the USA didn’t begin until the mid-1950s—a full twenty years after his death.

The reality is that we don’t know a lot about the Black experience during the early to mid-1900s. Much of this history wasn’t recorded by (white) historians. Instead, it was passed down through stories from parents to children, and so on. Only now are we starting to uncover and listen to the histories, stories, and experiences of Black Americans during this time period.

Remember how I mentioned at the start that I’m white as fuck? I don’t have grandparents I can go to and ask about the Black experience when they were children. First—my grandparents are all dead, and second—they were somehow whiter than I am. Their perspective wouldn’t help me because it isn’t my family’s story to tell.

What I can do is look at what we do know, listen to the voices of Black Americans who are finally being allowed to share their stories, and reflect that in my version of human Alastor. I can spend the time to research and learn. For instance, Alastor would have been ahead of his time—the first Black radio host was in 1929, a man named Jack L. Cooper from Chicago. He hosted the first Black-produced weekly variety show and showcased Black entertainers.

I can listen to stories of how mixed-race men were afforded the privilege of their lighter skin as long as they were useful to their white employers, only to be scapegoated the second anything went wrong. I do my best to reflect these stories in Human!Alastor's experiences and behaviors.

Why A White Coded Reader? I cannot even begin to hope to understand the Black American experience as it is now, let alone how it was in 1922, when MisD is set, or in the late 1910s, when my other Human Al fics take place. What I can understand on a deeper level is the white woman's experience, the experience of poverty, the experiences of abused women, and what it’s like to view the Black experience from the outside looking in.

And so that is what I try to highlight with my Human!Alastor fics. Yes, when I’m writing a Human!Alastor fic that deals with racial, class, and social politics as one of the themes to be explored (such as MisD), the reader is coded as white. It is through a white reader that I can have conversations with Alastor about why he feels he has to be perfect, why he straightens his hair, and so on. I cannot do proper justice to these feelings on a deeper level from a Black perspective because I can’t even begin to hope to understand it.

I cannot truly understand what Alastor’s Blackness would mean to him or how he would feel about being mixed. However, I can learn and understand how it impacted his life from the outside looking in. This is what I strive to do—to shed light on what Alastor’s accomplishments would have meant and how much his mistakes would have cost him.

I would love to see more Black writers in the fanfic space, especially within the Human!Alastor space. I would also love to see fewer readers written as blank slates. The Black experience in America and other white-dominated cultures is still not spotlighted often enough, both in present-day and historical settings.

These are stories that need to be told—perspectives that need to be explored, seen, and heard. However, they are not my stories to tell. Personally, until I am far better educated on the matter, I feel it would take away from these stories and be disrespectful to the lives of the very real people who lived them if I were to write from a perspective I cannot hope to understand.

I will continue to strive to write readers as racially neutral as often as the plot allows. However, I also ask that readers respect that, when the plot deals with racial, social, and class divides in a historical setting, if the reader is coming from a place of privilege, their skin tone is often the reason for such privilege.

Of course, I encourage readers to suspend disbelief and insert themselves into the fic regardless of their personal skin tone. I write from a historical setting, but as readers, you can imagine a set of historical laws or circumstances that allow for the same dynamics without requiring a white reader.

Can I do better? Absolutely—we all can. We’re always growing, improving, and learning. I was blessed to be raised in one of the most diverse places in the country (over 45 languages were spoken fluently at my high school). However, since leaving, I’ve struggled with the realities of having that bubble burst—not that Alaska was without racism.

I always welcome respectful discussions about the themes in MisD and all of my fics, as well as the reasons things may be portrayed the way they are. I prefer to write dark content, and with that comes the opportunity to educate and shine a light on topics many people avoid discussing. I simply ask for respect in return for the respect I give.

Much love, Kit

DRDT Chapter 2 - Murder Theory Crafting

👋Hello. I would like to share my perspective(s) on the murder of chapter 2.

Spoilers Below. CWs below.

CW: Suicide, Hanging, Murder, Death

Here are some basic statements about the case.

The victim is Arei Nageishi.

Arei died in the playground.

Arei died during the morning after 7:30 AM and before 8:00 PM.

Arei died by having her neck snapped.

All theories here will be operating under the assumption that all of these statements are facts. It's helpful to understand that this post will be trying to most closely align itself with what has been established so far, and will not challenging commonly held beliefs about the case. As such, gently, I request that no discourse be held over the validity of these statements on this post; or more specifically, that you express disagreements with grace & without being confrontational. Thank you. ^^

Now, let's move forward: Who? Who has the capability of doing this. Some characters have alibis which make it impossible for them to have committed the murder in the morning, so let's assert who these characters are.

(Teruko will be discounted from all lists, implicitly.)

J

David

Veronika

Hu

Nico

This means that:

Charles

Eden

Ace

Rose

Arturo

Levi

Whit

Could have murdered Arei. Problematically, this is 7 people. How do we distinguish which of these 7 are the murderer?

Let's return to the crime scene. On the scene of the crime, there's fish. These fish came from the relaxation room. Knowing this, someone had to take them. We know that the fish were last seen on Day 3 by Nico, after they fed the fish, after they ate dinner. This does not give an explicit timeframe, however it does reveal that, because the Relaxation Room closes at 10 PM, and doesn't open again until 8 PM, the killer had to have taken the fish after Nico last saw them.

Because we do not have an exact time for the last time Nico saw the fish, we cannot assert that this is true, but - if this was some time around 7:30, we know who could not have taken the fish. That being, anyone who had an alibi during night time. This brings our list down even further.

These people could not have taken the fish:

Charles

Eden

Hu

Veronika

J

Arturo

Whit

Those who could have are:

Arei

Nico

Ace

Rose

Levi

David

Cross referencing this with the previous list of alibis, that makes those who have no alibi at all:

Ace

Rose

Levi

Here's a graphic:

Let's Recap:

Teruko, J, Hu and Veronika could not have collected the fish or committed the murder.

Eden, Whit, Charles and Arturo could not have collected the fish.

David and Nico could not have committed the murder.

Rose, Ace & Levi could have both collected the fish and committed the murder.

The question we have now is: Does the murderer need to have collected the fish?

The answer is no. There can be an accomplice (knowing or unknowing) who collected the fish. In the scenario that the accomplice is knowing, they need to be willing to die for the culprit. In the scenario that the accomplice is unknowing, they did not choose to pursue the fact that somebody in the group asked them to collect the fish in spite of this being related to the crime. Also, assuming that the murderer did not collect the fish, those who do not have morning alibis need to be murderer. This means we are back to suspecting 7 people, and that cross referencing the alibis does not help.

Who can be an accomplice:

Nico

Arei

Ace

Rose

Levi

David

All combinations of accomplices & murderers are as follows:

Eden-Nico

Eden-Arei

Eden-Ace

Eden-Rose

Eden-Levi

Eden-David

Whit-Nico

Whit-Arei

Whit-Ace

Whit-Rose

Whit-Levi

Whit-David

Charles-Nico

Charles-Arei

Charles-Ace

Charles-Rose

Charles-Levi

Charles-David

Arturo-Nico

Arturo-Arei

Arturo-Ace

Arturo-Rose

Arturo-Levi

Arturo-David

Rose-Nico

Rose-Arei

Rose-Ace

Rose-Levi

Rose-David

Ace-Nico

Ace-Arei

Ace-Levi

Ace-David

Levi-Nico

Levi-Arei

Levi-David

This is a total of 29 combinations of accomplice-murderer routes. Let's remove ones in bad relations or with no relations for the sake of simplicity:

Eden-Arei

Eden-Levi

Now we're left with 2 combinations. Hooray. 🎉

These combinations conclude that Eden is the murderer. This means that Eden has to have asked Levi or Arei to collect the fish, either directly with the known intent that she was going to kill or indirectly, without any given intent at all. Regarding the former scenario, Arei can not have been knowingly an accomplice because her wrists were bound. Let's disregard that scenario. In this case, we've reached the first three possible theories regarding this case:

Theory One 1 I

Eden Tobisa murdered Arei Nageishi. Levi Fontana willingly chose to aid her in this process by collecting the fish for her. Levi Fontana is willing to die for Eden Tobisa.

Theory Two 2 II

Eden Tobisa murdered Arei Nageishi. Levi Fontana chose to aid her in this process by collecting the fish for her, without knowing the intent. Levi Fontana is not saying anything about Eden asking him to collect the fish.

Theory Three 3 III

Eden Tobisa murdered Arei Nageishi. Arei Nageishi chose to aid in this process by collecting the fish for her, without knowing the intent. Arei Nageishi could not have said anything because she is dead.

Under both of these theories, the following pieces of evidence remain unaccounted for:

Missing Tape

Missing Glove

Broken Light

Starch Ball

Floor Scuffs

Missing Turpentine

Note Spelling Errors

Stalking Eden

In order to account for these pieces of evidence, let's assume that both of these theories are false, or flawed. If we discover that they still work with these pieces of evidence, they they will be reaffirmed. If we discover they do not, they will be false.

Missing Tape

Let's begin with the Missing Tape. In episode 6, a roll of tape goes missing from the background of the Ace Markey Assault scene. The only two people capable of taking this tape are Eden & Ace. Ace could not have taken this tape because if he could, then Teruko could have as well, and during the trial, it will not be possible to distinguish which of the three took the tape. By having Ace account for Teruko and Teruko account for Ace, Eden becomes the only possible individual who could have taken the tape. The tape was used directly during the murder so whoever had it had to have been involved in the crime. Because Eden could not have been an accomplice (collected the fish) this means that she can only have been a murderer. The tape reaffirms both Theory I, Theory II & Theory III.

Missing Glove

Ordinarily, Arei Nageishi wears a bowling glove on her left hand. Her corpse lacks this glove. Someone had to have taken it. We do not have a reason for why it would be taken, or what it would be used for. This piece of evidence has no effect on any established theories.

Broken Light

A light above the rafters in the playground is broken. Something on the level of the rafters had to have hit the lights and broken them. We do not know what this would be. This piece of evidence has no effect on any established theories.

Starch Ball

A ball of Teruko & Hu's old clothing was bound together using a sticky substance. We do not know what the function of this ball is. We do not know what substance was used to bind the clothing. This piece of evidence has no effect on any established theories.

Floor Scuffs

There are scuff marks on the floor of the playground. The floor was damaged by something which scraped against it. We do not know what scraped against it. This piece of evidence has no effect on any established theories.

Missing Turpentine

The turpentine used to knock Ace unconscious is never accounted for. Arei's body has no signs of a struggle or injury. The turpentine could have been used to knock her unconscious before the murder. If true, the murdered had to have been in possession of the turpentine in order to murder Arei. This piece creates some friction with Theory I, II & III because Eden has no access to the turpentine - Ace's attempted murderer does. This however does not prove any of these theories false, and is not an impossible truth to coincide with.

Note Spelling Errors

The note has several spelling & grammar errors. This suggests that the killer either has poor literacy skills or that the killer was in a rush while writing the note. The note was placed into the trash intentionally with the intention of framing Arturo and Eden. This piece of evidence has no effect on any established theories.

Stalking Eden

On Day 2 before Teruko & Eden find Ace's body, Eden remarks that someone has been following her. Applying this to both Theory I & Theory II creates some friction. There are two scenarios here: Eden is being stalked by a third party who is unrelated to the murder as a whole or Eden is being stalked by an established party in this case. In the former scenario, the existence & participation of a third party has to be justified in the case's structure. In the latter, two people could have been stalking Eden: Arei or Levi.

Let's consider both of these possibilities:

Arei is stalking Eden and she ended up the victim of this case. Eden murdered her.

Levi is stalking Eden and he ended up the accomplice of this case.

In the former, the justification of this stalking would have been that Arei stalking Eden eventually culminated in Arei's murder. The flaw with this is that Arei's murder premeditated, not spontaneous. Also, Eden collected the tape, so, if she was planning on killing it would have been before she discovered who was stalking her. Let's disregard this scenario.

In the latter, the justification for the stalking would have been that Levi stalking Eden eventually culminated in Eden forming an alliance with Levi for the murder. This is an issue because, the fish were used to create an alibi for the murder. This necessitates the existence of an accomplice who can collect the fish for you. The murder is premeditated, so this element was also, premeditated. Eden had already conceived of the plan because she was collecting the tape. If the accomplice did not come into existence before Eden conceived of the plan then Eden's plan does not work. This dissuades the possibility that it was Levi stalking Eden.

Let's return to the third party - why?

In the scenario that Eden murdered Arei on Day 4 during the morning, and that Levi was her knowing accomplice on Day 3 or that Levi or Arei were her unknowing accomplice on Day 3, what would be the purpose of having a third party involved in this case?

Or more specifically, what evidence would there be that there is actually a third party involved, at all. Going through all the evidence, there is nothing to suggest that any third party is involved other than Eden being stalked. So - Why? Why was she being stalked? Who would have a vested interest in stalking Eden?

Initially, at the start of the trial, Eden is framed by the note which is signed under her name. This note is also significant because whoever wrote it had to have been aware of the infirmary conversation which happened on Day 2. If it was Eden who wrote it, then there would be no issue because she would have been present for the conversation. If it was a third party who wrote it, then we suddenly have a reason for there to be someone stalking Eden but we now don't have a reason for them to have known about the infirmary conversation. So, basically, in order for the third party to justify their existence, assuming that this 'third party' is actually the true killer, we need to justify why they would be aware of the infirmary scene to begin with.

For now, let's say this: Theory I, II & III are now dubious as a result of this evidence and we now have a fourth theory.

Theory Four 4 IV

The party stalking Eden killed Arei Nageishi.

Who stalked Eden?

Assuming that whoever stalked Eden killed Arei Nageishi, and assuming that, because Eden and Levi were the only two reasonable people to have been paired as murderer and accomplice with the current alibis, there cannot be an accomplice, that means there can only be three murderers: Ace, Rose & Levi. Let's discuss each of these stalking parties.

Ace

Ace stalked Eden. Ace collected the fish on Day 3. Ace forged the note which framed Eden and lured out Arei. Ace killed Arei on Day 4 using the turpentine to knock her out for the murder.

The flaws with this are that, Ace does not have access to the grip tape which would set up the murder and Ace does not have access to the turpentine which would be used to knock out Arei.

Rose

Rose stalked Eden. Rose collected the fish on Day 3. Rose forged the note which framed Eden and lured out Arei. Rose killed Arei on Day 4 using the turpentine to knock her out for the murder.

The flaws with this are that, Rose does not have access to the grip tape which would set up the murder and Rose does not have access to the turpentine which would be used to knock out Arei.

Levi

Levi stalked Eden. Levi collected the fish on Day 3. Levi forged the note which framed Eden and lured out Arei. Levi killed Arei on Day 4 using the turpentine to knock her out for the murder.

The flaws with this are that, Levi does not have access to the grip tape which would set up the murder, Levi does not have access to the turpentine which would be used to knock out Arei and Levi would not need to turpentine to knock Arei unconscious.

???

Why do none of these possibilities work? And, if they don't work, then what's happening? The key flaws here are that, only Eden could have accessed the grip tape, and none of them could have accessed the turpentine.

Disregarding Eden & the grip tape for a moment, let's discuss the turpentine because as is, this is the wild card - we don't know who does have access to the turpentine.

Or, supposedly we, do - Nico.

Nico Hakobyan

Nico tried to kill Ace.

How did Nico try to kill Ace?

Nico knocked Ace out with the turpentine, hung Ace to the ceiling fan using metal wire & a similar mechanism to the one which snapped Arei's neck and...

?

Took him down? Why? To strangle him after hanging him?

Also, there's another issue here. How did Nico access the metal wire? Or more specifically, from where did Nico access the metal wire There is one metal wire which has been set up in the story. In chapter one, the custom items list reveals that one person was given a metal wire: Hu Jing. So, the necessary progression from here to ask is - how did Nico get the wire from Hu? Would she have just given it up if asked unprompted? And, if yes then, how did Ace fall & why didn't Nico flee the scene after he fell? Why did Nico remove the wire from his neck?

To simplify things, I'll just say this: I do not believe that Nico set up the murder intended to kill Ace.

So then - who did? Things have been set up so that there's only one other person who would have access to the resources needed to make Ace's murder attempt. This person is Hu Jing herself.

Let's address the turpentine again.

Missing Turpentine

Nico had the turpentine. Nico had the turpentine because, they painted with Rose in the dress-up room. Rose left the turpentine out, unaccounted for, and does not know what happened to it. Teruko is the one who suggested that Nico stole the turpentine to begin with. Turpentine is a sticky substance with a foul odor which evaporates several hours after use - it's primary job is to be a binding agent. The turpentine was left out in dress-up room. Nico could have taken the turpentine; we however, do not know this. The turpentine, left alone by Rose in the dress-up room is, almost entirely unaccounted for. Let's assume for a moment that Nico was not actually the one to take the turpentine. Who else is capable of getting the turpentine that we would know about?

"Starch" Ball

The ball of clothing bound together by a sticky substance in the dress-up room is bound together using turpentine. This tool was used to knock both Ace & Arei unconscious for their respective murder attempt and murder. The person who made the "starch" ball got the turpentine by going to the dress-up room and finding it there. The starch ball was made shortly after this connection was made in their head. Who is an individual with a motive to clean up the leftover clothes as well as to use the turpentine to make an attempt on Ace's life? Who made this "Starch Ball"? Hu made this "Starch Ball."

This piece of evidence now suggests that the killer had to have known about and made the "Starch Ball" before Ace's murder attempt, during Day 2, after Nico and Rose painted together - so, after lunch time and before night time.

Floor Scuffs

There are scuff marks on the floor of the playground. The floor was damaged by something which scraped against it. If Arei was called out to the playground to meet with the killer, and the "Starch Ball" was used to knock Arei unconscious, then the scuffs (at the entrance of the room) would be from Arei scraping her feet against the ground in a struggle. This point of evidence now suggests that the killer had to be aware of the "Starch Ball" in order to knock Arei unconscious.

Missing Tape

This is the biggest killer of theory IV. Actually, this is the biggest killer of any theory which doesn't suggest that Eden killed Arei. Eden took the tape - almost unambiguously. We know that Teruko was close to Ace, and that Ace was close to Teruko, and that Eden was directly behind the two of them, and that Eden has a container which she could immediately hide the tape in. Not only does this interrupt the how of the case, because we know need to know how the murder could be set up if Eden did not kill Arei but we also need to know why - why take the tape to begin with?

Here's a suggestion: Somebody was stalking Eden. Somebody had reason to care about where she was. Eden, if she used the tape to set up Arei's murder, was already planning on grabbing it to begin with. By being put in a place and time where she was set to grab the tape, she was always going to find Ace's body first. Eden was asked to grab the tape so that she would find Ace's body.

Hu Jing

Let's review.

We're assuming the following:

The victim is Arei Nageishi.

Arei died in the playground.

Arei died during the morning after 7:30 AM and before 8:00 PM.

Arei died by having her neck snapped.

The party stalking Eden was the one to write the note framing Eden

Hu set up the murder mechanism which was used to make an attempt on Ace's life

Hu went to clean up the old clothes left behind in the dress-up room and found the turpentine left over from Nico & Rose's painting session.

Hu created the "starch" ball.

Hu knew where the tape was, because she set up the murder

Hu asked Eden to collect the tape so that Eden would discover Ace's body.

Now, there is one pretty major flaw with this. That being, Hu has an alibi - right?

For both the morning and the night she was with someone. During the night, with Eden, and during the morning, with Nico. We discarded the possibility of anyone other than Eden having an accomplice a while ago, since only Eden has had positive relations with any of the possible combinations of murderers & accomplices so far. So, Hu couldn't do it, right?

Hu is the only one who claimed she has an alibi for the morning time. Nico did not corroborate this claim. Hu alone substantiated it. If all above is true, then, the conclusion is clear. Hu lied about her alibi.

What kind of person is Nico Hakobyan. How do they deal with all conflict? When faced with a challenge, what does Nico do? Nico runs away. Nico, avoids the problem.

If Nico were to realize that they have been unconsciously complicit in the murder plan of another person for the entire trial, and this person was someone who consistently talked over Nico, minimizing their perspective implicitly, how do you think Nico would deal with this problem? They wouldn't say a word.

Now, let's say, Hu lies about her alibi - what does Nico do? Say, someone asked Nico to collect fish from the relaxation room, which just so happened to be used in the murder? What would Nico do?

Theory Five 5 V

Hu Jing used to the turpentine and metal wire to make an attempt on Ace's life. Eden was set up to find the body. Hu Jing was following Eden because she wanted to frame Eden. During this time, she saw Eden & Arei's exchange in the infirmary. When Ace did not die because of Nico Hakobyan's interreference, Hu Jing switched targets. Hu Jing murdered Arei Nageishi. Nico Hakobyan was her unknowing accomplice during this murder. Nico Hakobyan collected the fish needed for the murder and gave her an alibi for the murder. Eden was framed for the crime using the note hidden in the trash can. Hu would have access to the tape and the turpentine. Hu would have, by this plan, be given an alibi for both the night and morning time.

What evidence is left undiscussed with this conclusion?

Missing Glove

Broken Lights

Note Spelling Errors

The latter two can be explained if the killer was in a rush while committing the crime. The first cannot. I do not have an explanation for the missing glove. It's usage is not something I understand in this case.

In (my) conclusion,

Hu Jing murdered Arei Nageishi

A pig never hopes to grow into a human, because it know a metamorphosis like that is impossible.

(ace discourse CW)

there's been a lot of pushback against the "but aces aren't DOING anything why would anyone go after asexuals!" reactions and thank god, i get where the knee jerk reaction is coming from, i really do, but every trans and queer person is just trying to exist in peace in the world, and our only crime is that our existence is threatening the fragile illusion of a status quo where everyone adheres to a gender binary and gets heterosexually married and reproduces children LIKE GOD INTENDEDDDDD AND IF ANYONE STRAYS FROM THAT PATH PEOPLE WILL START QUESTIONING ITS LEGITIMACY AND IF THEY START QUESTIONING ITS LEGITIMACY THEY WILL QUESTION EVERYTHING ELSE AND IT WILL ALL FALL APART AND

takes a long drag from my imaginary cigarette, the evils of ace discourse past flashing through my eyes. the reason people like the disgraced children's book author goes after asexuals is because it's low hanging fruit. asexuals are one of the most grabbable items on the shelf if you want to go down the route of "those silly lgbt children are MAKING UP WORDS and PRETEND TO BE OPPRESSED". asexuals get used as a cudgel to delegitimize the movement (as are many other identities, there's a reason there used to be jokes about coalitions between ace, bi and nb people back in the mid 2010s). it's also why there's been so much discourse within the (online) queer community as well - the idea that if you get rid of all the fakes and the weirdos, the lgbt community will regain the legitimacy and respect our oppressors allegedly had for us until those pesky aces came along.

widespread understanding and education about asexuality has increased a thousandfold since i discovered it as a teen, but a thousand times a microscopic fraction just makes for a bigger fraction. it's STILL astonishingly easy to convince people, especially people outside of the queer community, that asexuals are just some uppity holier-than-thou kids who are making up things to get mad at because of woke. easy to ridicule! easy to rile up! wow! the perfect toolbox for the up and coming transphobe looking to expand into more widespread queerphobia!

(i am trusting that You, Dear Followers Of This Blog, don't need me to explain the legitimacy of asexuality and the very real existence of aphobia, nor do i want to talk about hate crime statistics to justify the queerness of asexuality. but if you do want a good resource though, the ace couple podcast just did an episode on this situation which was pretty good.)

i think my first reaction to seeing the tweet was disbelief - not that someone outwardly bigoted did another bigotry, but that this 2015 ass tweet was from *this* year, fresh out of the oven. like, genuinely, this is such an embarassingly outdated, juvenile tweet. recreating some of the cringiest, stupidest tumblr discourse in the year of our lord 2025. disbelief, but not surprise. this might as well happen

sorry for the incoming rant.

(cw for: mainly arophobia but also mentions of acephobia and mentions of people shipping an abuser with their victim)

praying for the teens and pre teens who think hazbin is *the* show for queer rep or progressive in any matter. it scares me immensely. not only the blatant fetishism and sex negativity and whatnot, but the fact people are being taught that labels *don't mean anything* and that they can do whatever they want (with a character).

yeah, "i gave my characters labels but fuck those labels ship whatever you want" is SURELY a great sentiment to leave behind. surely nobody would erase or discriminate against labels and identity, right? surely people WOULDN'T repsect labels and identities, right?*COUGH* *COUGH*

seriously the amount of ace- but more aro-phobia in that cult/clusterfuck in that fandom is insane. i hate how the aro tag has been poisoned/infiltrated by red twink no. 45 because of shipping discourse, and these people are being enabled by their "leader", never being lectured correctly. these people will ONLY listen to anyone who either agrees with them or isn't part of said label/identity. im so pissed. aros have little to none rep AT ALL and even then people will erase existing rep or come up with shitty excuses (if i hear the phrase "b-but aros can still date!!" one more time im breaking something. you dont care about the AROMANTIC dating experience, you only care about your stickmen kissing. period.). its more than exhausting.

i am not the only aro and aro-ace severly pissed off by this but im afraid there's nothing we can do. these people ship a severly traumatized victim and their assaulter together so im not suprised. at all.

all i came to know is that nobody actually fucking cares about representation or labels- they're all hopping around in fanfiction-shipping wonderland and bullying people relentlessly if they DARE to think otherwise. and they're being enabled.

-an exhausted and "done" aromantic. (i'm also on the ace spectrum but that's not as important to me right now- even though striker- the only one that's not horny 24/7 and clearly sex-repulsed or at least disgusted, is played as a big joke, but i believe someone else already said that. but that alone should raise eyebrows.)

Honestly, I don't even know what to add other than...this fandom kinda sucks. Like first bullying someone into killing themselves over shipping stuff and now this? And the fact that Viv doesn't call out ANY of this shit at all makes it worse.

Look, I'm of the opinion that we should not blame a creator for having a shitty fandom, HOWEVER, Viv needs to stop enabling her fans and say SOMETHING about this behavior.....but she isn't. Like, she could just say "hey guys stop doing this pls" buuuuut no. She's too busy whining about people criticizing her shows to actually do that.

Alastor is aroace guys, stop trying to erase that part of him just so you can drool over him. Just do that for LITTERALY ANY OTHER CHARACTER. It's that simple.

[jesncin]

Honestly, you are like the most based person ever. A Martian Manhunter fan and a MAWS critic? F YEAH!

I'm so disappointed with MAWS' Lois :( Her romance with Clark could've been so good. SO GOOD. But they decided to go for fan service instead. She just gives off Lena (from cwsg) vibes and that's never a good thing.

Speaking of Supergirl, what's your opinion on the show? And on the show's portrait of J'onn. It baffles me how much hate the show got for the same things fans are willing to overlook now on MAWS. Aren't those some double standards, geez...

Aw shucks thank you! 2 incredibly niche but based things to be...

Sob! Call it the ace in me but whenever people think MAWS!Clois have chemistry because they're easily amused by seeing hot characters undress I lose life force. I didn't witness a couple that grew mutual respect and affection, I saw an insta-crush that led to Lois becoming so entitled to a guy she'd known for less than a week to the point of demanding full transparency of his private life before they even started dating. And then the narrative says it's Clark's fault for having reasonable boundaries, and then they're a couple. What is this.

I've briefly talked about CW Supergirl before, but my takeaway is: if people think MAWS is genuinely good writing then they should absolutely watch CW Supergirl because it must look like high art in comparison to MAWS. Maybe people are less judgy when something's animated and that's not fair. If we want to take animation as a serious medium we should hold it to the same standard and not coddle it. As someone who watched a few eps when CW Supergirl aired and then revisited and watched the whole thing years after the show concluded, I feel that the misogyny surrounding people's discourse around the show has led to people judging the show based on a fanon idea of it rather than its own merits.

more under the cut!

CW Supergirl is a show with great highs and lows. This results in things being hit or miss. But when something hits- CW Supergirl is not given nearly enough credit as it deserves. As a Martian Manhunter fan, I believe that their take on J'onn is the most competent and well adapted in not just adapted media, but all of comics canon. That doesn't mean I like everything they did with his lore and character, but I can acknowledge that they actually bothered developing him outside of the comics/cartoon's fixation with making him mope about his Origin Story all the time. He gets to find love, have adopted daughters through Kara and Alex, reckon with what it's like to preserve aspects of a culture he doesn't fully identify with, deal with his dad going through Martian Alzheimer's disease, and most importantly MAKE PEACE WITH HIS BROTHER. CW Supergirl has hands down, the best take on Ma'alefa'ak in all of canon.

I think Lena is a great character on the show. She's dealing with the trauma of being constantly manipulated by her own family, the legacy her name carries and who she is in all that. But because the supercorp ship permeates the way people perceive the show, she's reduced to that by discourse. When Lena has drama over Kara's secret Superhero identity, it's something that's built up to and informed by trauma, trust-issues, and TIME. We are shown that she has these problems. It gets melodramatic at times, but it's still something that was built up to. Meanwhile in MAWS Lois just tells us she has daddy issues and that it's why she really needs the cute guy at work to spill all his personal info to her even though she gets to lie to him for her own personal gain multiple times. I appreciate what CW Supergirl did to bring more attention to what was an obscure character. Whenever I bump into Lena in the comics, it hasn't stacked up to the character I met on the show.

I've called this out before but while CW Supergirl isn't perfect by any means especially with their treatment of Jimmy Olsen as a love interest to Kara and a generally sidelined Black supporting character, they still discussed and acknowledged Jimmy's identity as a Black American man! Sure it was heavy handed many times, but that's way better than MAWS straight up ignoring Jimmy's Blackness and even making an unintentional jab at it!! Like cw Supergirl Jimmy knows bigotry and has experienced it. MAWS Jimmy thinks bigotry is being ghosted for a camping trip. I have seen the exact same critics call out cw Supergirl for Jimmy's treatment while gleefully thinking Jimmy's treatment in MAWS is so uwu perfect. It makes me sick! Am I going insane?? It's the double standards for me.

[our-aroace-experience]

(cw: one instance of swearing, breaking down a few aphobic situations to make a point. Also, this turned into a bit of a rant)

My aroace (& adhd) experience is feeling deeply frustrated and annoyed with the "you can't headcanon ND-coded characters as ace/aro/both, that's ableist" discourse and the chunk of its participants that decided it applies to real people too.

I know for a fact that my experiences are deeply connected(actually, learning that I have adhd was one of the things that helped me realise I was aroace - apparently, neurotypical allo people don't usually take a look at all the social rules around dating and go "no thanks; that sounds like a colossal waste of my energy".) but I very often feel that I can't mention that without other people trying to use it to invalidate them (for example, "oh, so you'd be fine with [insert sexual or romantic act here] if you didn't have those symptoms/traits?" One, I cannot remove those symptoms so keep your hypotheticals to yourself, two - even if I was more ok with it that's none of your business).

Finding good adhd rep is hard, finding good aspec rep is hard, finding both in one is almost unreal. And maybe allo people need to broaden their ideas of character interpretation instead of assuming that they all have active dating and sexual life off-screen.

Also, neurotypical allo people tend to take some of my symptoms and accomodations for them weirdly personally when it comes to romance and/or sex: oh, you need a break from socialising/you look tired or sad or spaced out? Your partner is going to think you're ignoring them or trying to run away from your date!(no, that's just my neutral face and I can't convincingly fake a smile for too long). You don't want to make out in a club bathroom/in a secluded spot in the park in summer? You're no fun! You're a prude! Your partner will leave you for someone down to make out!(first, that would be their problem, not mine; second, loud crowded spaces like clubs make my anxiety spike, being sweaty, let alone hugging and touching someone sweaty, is a sensory nightmare to me, and I heard you're supposed to enjoy making out, not vibrate with repressed anguish during it.) Basically, I would have to very carefully look for someone understanding and respectful of my boundaries while wading through tons of aphobic and ableist garbage, and I don't feel any strong need to have a partner to start with, so I skipped that step altogether.

This feels like a stone off my chest; Thanks for lending me your askbox and have a nice day!

i’m glad it helped get your feelings out! my inbox is always open if you need it!
