Hate to ruin your HC but Eliza was a one night stand not a girlfriend/SO/partner. 0 reason to bang her other than Art just wanting to have sex.
I'm not sitting down to write a whole text on how society influences and drowns people's innate traits and/ or sexualities.
I am not.
I also won't explain that asexuality doesn't necessarily come with lack of libido. And hormones, especially in amab people, can influence your decision making, even more so when you are drunk.
I will not.

But I will say that don't "worry", you didn't "ruin" my headcanon.
In fact, Arthur's now the most ace person in any media ever.
He had no idea what his balls are there for or why the hell he gets morning wood until he was told. And he thought that the prostitutes in saloons are just eccentric ladies that just like to dress that way and the men that they bring in their rooms are there to just, I dunno, do a closer inspection of the fabrics. Until he was explicitly told otherwise.
When Sean and Karen go wild at the party, my guy's first thought is that they're just doing a very intense Irish dance.
Arthur is ace.

Okay so I know I've been reblogging this a lot lately, but today I've just been reminded why it means so much.
Who are we to decide what people are and aren't? Who are we to put people in boxes and tell them they can't step outside of them? Stop telling people what they are and aren't because it's not up to anyone but them.
To me, being exclusionist means you just. Can't accept people for what they are. Isn't that the problem as is? So if you say you're not exclusionist but then can't deal with the terms someone else uses to describe themselves... are you ANY better?
To me, you're not.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand why some lesbians are offended by the word "dyke", and I'm not lesbian myself so I can't really speak for the whole "reclaiming of slurs" for this particular one, but I was raised by a man who used the word to refer to the tool most people now call by its proper name diagonal cutters. Long before I even knew it was possible for girls to like other girls in that way. I still refer to the tool as "Dykes" in my head, it's that ingrained in me.
Knowing this, I'm sure you can understand my confusion when I see homophobic posts online that are using the slang term, because my initial reaction is always "What do you have againsts dykes? They're useful!"
Even so, I still try to not say the word out loud around people who I know will take offense, even if I'm referring to a physical object and not a lesbian.

Allos are so weird about hugs and it's pissing me the fuck off
We LOVE hugs and physical stuff, can't get enough of them
So NATURALLY, we hug people we care about. A lot. And very "intimately" (aka for an extended period of time and very tightly) or we just generally cling and hold onto them
Or like, hold hands and stuff a lot of the time
Our friend kept looking at us like we were making out sloppy style right in front of her because we hugged our other friend who was upset "too intimately". And because we hugged/ held onto another one of our friends
She keeps making comments (not jokes. Comments.) about us looking like lesbians with our friend too and it's so fucking infuriating
1) why would that be a bad thing?????????
2) I WAS JUST HUGGING HER??????? At MOST you could call it cuddling but like??????
Like I'm FUCKING SORRY you don't get hugged enough??????
she doesn't like touch and I completely get that, we only are okay with being touched by people we trust/know too, but her not wanting to hug people ISNT MY PROBLEM??????
she also freaks out about other "intimate" things like our friend fixing our septum
anyways that was my aroace rant, goodnight chat
