not to be dramatic but Blane functioning as a "rivals/enemies to lovers/friends" story, while not only having no "sexual tension", but also having them be asexual is so so special to me.

I think the reason I've disliked so many enemies to lovers stories is bc they've been very hetero and allo normative, and as a trans ace person, Blane's story thus far and them being canonically ace is means sm and I love it. They aren't even my main RO but their story is very important to me, thank you sm for writing this, even in an environment that unfortunately often sexualizes these kinds of characters.

I'm rambling but I love this novel, this was just one aspect that caught me very off guard in the absolute best of ways

This is a topic I could go on and on about so I’ll try not to go on too much of a tangent, but the reason I wrote Blane as asexual is because 1) I’m asexual myself and saw a lack of representation that I wanted to fill 2) the representation I did see was either little to none and very one-dimensional.

What I mean by this is asexuality tends to be tied to aromanticism, which, while perhaps is a common occurrence, leads to a lack of portrayals of asexuals experiencing romance and love. That’s why I made Blane. Aside from the fact that I personally feel a deep connection with them, because asexuality is often demonstrated one specific way, I wanted to branch out and showcase that it’s much more nuanced that people think.

The rivals to lovers trope can be masterfully (I hope) crafted without sexual tension and asexual people don’t always have to be aromantic. Blane, though sex repulsed, craves affection just like anyone else—and I think that’s wonderful and beautiful and they deserve it.

That all said, I’m still incredibly grateful for the portrayals we do have and I’m so glad to see the media slowly start to embrace more identities and sexualities, but it gets tiring sometimes. And I thought hey, if I’m not seeing more representation, why don’t I just make one?

So yeah. All in all, thank you. It’s always a pleasure to read asks like this and see so much support for Blane. I know their sexuality hasn’t come up in game yet but it warms my heart to see them be embraced by the community in this way <3

"the more time we spend together, the more i realize blane's sharp edges can be dulled."

"it's the kind of thing i hold onto now."
