OP you might like Claudie Arsenault’s aro/ace resources, if you don’t mind prose fiction

https://claudiearseneault.com/aromantic-books-recommendations/

And also a character database:

Aro and or Ace Characters

There is so little representation that I don't know where to look for it, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? Even just characters you headcannon as aro/ace, and I would love to hear why! Take this as your opportunity to rant if you want! I headcannon Alistair from Dragon Age Origins and Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3 as asexual. Maybe I'll edit this later to explain why.

(Please let me know if there's any tags I missed, I'm still learning how to use tumblr.)

Yatesbert for the ship game!

hell no | how about no | eh | kinda cute i guess | that’s adorable | omg omg yes | otp | you’re fucking kidding right i’m dying because of these two

fdsafsdfsafs I will DIE on the hill that Ghostbusters ATC is the story of two women who fight their way back to each other because they’ve always been in love. It just took them a while to realize it because they hurt each other while they were young and scared. 

proposes - Erin. Of the two of them, she’s the one who can find her voice when Big Important Feelings are overwhelming. Abby is 100% Overwhelmed and definitely cries during and after the proposal. 

shops for groceries - I feel like they’re both so bad at remembering to do this regularly, but I’m gonna go with Erin. Abby dislikes cooking and could happily live off of soup and takeout, and Erin isn’t about that life. 

kills the spiders - Both, but Abby is the one who will take them outside rather than kill them. 

comes home drunk at 3am - Erin gets drunker faster than Abby, and invariably always either cries over the time they lost or aggressively snuggles and gushes over her when she does. 

makes breakfast - Neither, omg they’re both such a mess ESPECIALLY when they’re together. They tend to get wrapped up in their work / thoughts and forget to eat breakfast at all. They might get coffee and donuts on the way to work if they happen to remember they should eat before noon. 

remembers to feed the fish - Erin. Her energy is a little less chaotic than Abby’s and this woman thrives off of routine and schedule. 

decorates the apartment - Abby, because she feels more strongly about breathing life into their shared space. Erin’s utilitarian, minimalist decor has always suited her just fine, but Abby finds it unbearably lifeless because it reminds her of the Erin who left her. Abby’s apartment has always been a cozy, mismatched accumulation of memories. So, when they move in together, Abby lets Erin have her matching furniture, but she hangs lots of pictures and tucks weird little spooky knickknacks among their bookshelves. 

initiates duets - Erin. God, she’s silly. When she’s really Happy !!!!! it just oozes out of her and splashes onto everyone around her. Duets? Dances? All of the above. 

falls asleep first - Abby, because after all these years, she can finally rest. She knows Erin will be there when she wakes up. 

sends the most selfies - Abby, but neither of them quite get the hang of selfies at first! Erin tries very hard to take cute pictures of herself and only sends them if she really likes them. Abby very quickly ceases to care. She delights in all the weird angles and faces she can make to make Erin laugh and randomly texts her whatever she’s doing or thinking just because she can. 

makes the first move - Erin, it has to be Erin. Maybe it takes her some time to recognize what she feels for Abby is romantic love - or maybe she realizes it in the split second before she jumps into the portal after her. Either way, Abby has always known, and she also has a deep-rooted fear of doing anything which might cause Erin to run again. 

plans spontaneous trips - God, they’re both so impulsive, but I’m giving this one to Erin. Sometimes she learns Abby’s never done something despite all the years she’s lived in New York and Erin just makes a surprised Pikachu face and decides they’re going RIGHT NOW.

[stholtzmann]

Holtzmann: You love me, right, Patty? Patty: Normally, I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere and I don’t like it.

Holtzmann: Oh just so you know, it's very muggy outside Erin: Erin: Holtzmann, I swear, if I step outside and all of our mugs are on the sidewalk... Holtzmann: *sips coffee from bowl* Abby: I am not out of control! I'm a law abiding citizen! Erin: Really? Name one law Abby: Don't kill people? Erin: That's on me. I set the bar too low.

Patty: I currently have 7 empty notebooks and I have no clue what to put in them. Suggestions? Kevin: Put spaghetti in it. Patty: I'm currently taking suggestions from literally anyone but you. Holtzmann: Put spaghetti in it. Patty: I'm currently taking suggestions from anyone but you two. Abby: Put spaghetti in it. Patty: I'm no longer taking suggestions.

Holtzmann: Whaddya call a fish with no eye? Patty, not looking up: Myxine circifrons Holtzmann: Holtzmann: fsh

Kevin: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast? Holtzmann: Several traffic violations. Abby: Three counts of resisting arrest. Patty: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks. Erin: Also, that’s not our car.

Cop: You’re receiving a ticket for having three people on one motorcycle. Holtzmann: Shit. Erin: Wait, three? Cop: Yeah? Patty: OH MY GOD ABBY FELL OFF!!!

Holtzmann, banging on the door: Erin! Open up! Erin: Well, it all started when I was a kid... Patty: No, she meant- Abby: Let her finish.

Kevin: I’m an idiot. Holtzmann: Abby: Patty: Erin: Kevin: Holtzmann: If you’re waiting for us to disagree, this is going to be a long day.

Kevin: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life Erin: Self-esteem, haven't seen you in years! Abby: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this! Patty: I knew I lost that potential somewhere! Holtzmann: My moral code, is that you? Kevin: Kevin: I was just gonna show you this cool trunk my mother left me but do you guys need a hug?

Erin: What do you think Holtzmann will do for a distraction? Abby: She’ll probably, like, make a noise or throw a rock. That’s what I would do. *Building explodes and several car alarms go off* Patty: ... or she could do that.

Patty: I can’t believe you live nearby, and you won’t let anyone crash at your place. Holtzmann: You people already know too much about me. Patty: I know exactly three facts about you, and one of them is that you won’t let any of us crash at your place

*The group is getting into the car* Holtzmann: I’m driving. Kevin, out of view: Shotgun! Abby, turning to face Kevin: Aww! But you had it on the way here- Everyone except Kevin: WHOA- Kevin, holding a shotgun: No! I found a shotgun! And I want the front seat! *pumps gun*

Holtzmann: Change is inedible. Erin: Don't you mean inevitable? Holtzmann, spitting out coins: No, I did not.

Kevin: *gets down on one knee* Erin: Oh my god, it’s finally happening. Kevin: *falls over* Holtzmann: The poison is kicking in.

Erin: WHAT’S YOUR TYPE Holtzmann: Anything, honestly, but nerds especially Erin, desperately, as Holtzmann’s bleeding intensifies: YOUR BLOOD TYPE Holtzmann: Oh! B positive. Erin: DON’T TRY TO CHEER ME UP JUST TELL ME YOUR BLOOD TYPE Holtzmann:

Erin: This is a mistake Abby, enthusiastically: A mistake we're going to laugh about one day! Erin: But not today Abby, still enthusiastic: Oh, no. Today's going to be a mess

Abby, standing with their back turned: I’ve been expecting you, Erin. Erin: How did you do that without turning around? Abby: ... To be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you.

Holtzmann: I turned out perfectly fine! Abby: Holtzmann, this morning you thought a ghost made your toast Holtzmann: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN! YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN!!!

Holtzmann: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died- Jennifer Lynch: Twelve, actually. Holtzmann: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that? Jennifer Lynch: Yours! Holtzmann: That's right: no one's.

Holtzmann: I learned some very valuable lessons from this. Patty: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away. Holtzmann: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically God.

Erin: Goodnight moon. Erin: Goodnight tree. Erin: Goodnight ghosts that only I can see.

I got a super sweet email a few months ago about Nothing in This World is Safe, and it meant a lot to me. I wrote back to the person and said I’d be returning to the fic series soon.

And I meant to.

I had the energy to.

I even got started on it.

Then everything just went to hell, health-wise and otherwise, and so I haven’t touched it (or my actual novel!) in months. I was dreaming of maybe spending all day yesterday and today working on Chapter 21, so that I could upload it before, you know, it’s 20-fucking-20, but it didn’t happen.

I did manage to make some progress today. So maybe that bodes well for the new year. I hope so.

Anyway, I’m still here on this planet, and so are you, and I’m glad for that. Happy New Year!

Let’s go.
