#Boo! It's sex

[a-side-character]

Sort of related to my last post, but here's a list of all the explicitly/canonically aspec characters in media I can think of who have fulfilling relationships (romantic, platonic, familial, etc) and lives with or without sex being a part of it. Media does a lot to push the idea that asexuality is a flaw, so it's always nice to see positive aspec representation.

Books:

Ekundayo Kunleo (Raybearer) - Major side character, Asexual

Fleet Captain Breq Mianaai (Imperial Radch) - POV character, Asexual

Medic (Imperial Radch) - Side character in the last two books, Asexual (implied aromantic? Don't quote me on it)

Podcasts:

Arkady Patel (The Strange Case of Starship Iris) - A main character, Grey-Ace

Sir Fitzroy Maplecourt (The Adventure Zone: Graduation) - A Player Character, word-of-god confirmed Asexual

Jonathan Sims (The Magnus Archives) - Protagonist, Asexual

Comics:

Tori Spring (Heartstopper/Solitaire) - Major side character/Protagonist, Asexual

Isaac Henderson (Heartstopper) - Side character with relevance in season two of the TV show, Aro-Ace

Uncle Jim (Cool Uncle) - Main Character, Aro-Ace

Kim (Boo! It's Sex) - A main character, Asexual

Rae (Always Human) - Side Character, Aro-Ace

TV:

Raphael Santiago (Shadowhunters) - Major side character, Asexual

Lilith Clawthorne (The Owl House) - Major side character, word-of-god confirmed Aro-Ace

Peridot (Steven Universe) - Major side character, word-of-god confirmed Aro-Ace

Feel free to add more if you can think of them!

SEX - PROLOGUE (2015) dir. SAYO YAMAMOTO

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

My memory is terrible so I wanted to do a breakdown of my stuff every once in a while. Might be monthly, might be whenever I feel like it. And also. Spoilers and opinions below, read at your own risk.

QL - Currently Watching

🇯🇵I Hear the Sunspot [1/12] - I'm so grateful that I get a new jbl just as I'm mourning the end of the last one. I didn't read this manga but I've watched the film, and I really liked it even if it felt unfinished. Hopefully with 12 episodes it means we get the full story. This was a very good first episode, I feel like we established the main relationships dynamics and got a good insight into the main characters core. Taichi is my new child.

🇹🇭 Knock Knock, Boys! [6/12] - I continue to enjoy this group. Jane turned out to be a great addition instead of what I feared, but Peak really needs to step up so I can keep rooting for him and Thanwa, cause I'm also not a huge fan of the ex coming back as an obstacle for the couple. Latte and Almond are really great together and I'm curious how Almond will deal with his feelings for Latte, when he actually realizes he's having them.

🇹🇭Love Sea [4/12] - Before anything else, I love the ocean and I love when shows get out of the city. Also I like Mut. Now. I'm not a Mame hater. I'm a 'trauma is the only way to write deep characters' hater. I'm also a 'trauma gives you an excuse to be an asshole' hater. But most of all, I'm very much a 'love will fix you' hater. So just don't give me 3 out of 3 and it's fine. Also this last episode, all the talk about money and contracts made me feel some kind of way, although it doesn't seem to bother Mut so... And as much I like having Aya on my screen, Mook is really testing that line between cute and incredibly annoying. I'm not sure how long I'm staying with this one.

🇹🇭My Love Mix-Up! [4/12] - So... this is not good. The technical aspects of this are actually bad. Considering the number of sponsors is actually kinda incredible that it's so badly put together. The sound, the lighting, the editing, overall just... not good. Now, the rest. Look I don't want to ruin anybody's fun, so I'll keep watching this one quietly, unless something outrageous happens. But for the record, and this is all I'm gonna say, they are ruining the best parts of these characters and this story, and even if I ignore that (which I can't because it's an adaptation), it's pandering and it's a lazy attempt at recapturing the magic of msp, with a worse script and recycled material. Also I cannot believe they didn't put Atom in a trashing bag.

🇹🇭 My Stand-In [1/12] - For a number of reasons I'm waiting to binge this one. I do love watching the gifs on my dash though, pretty is pretty.

🇯🇵Ossan no Pants ga Nandatte Ii Janai ka! [9/11] - It's so good. I love them all. This last episode I was close to tears in several parts but the street proposal ended me. It's definitely one of those shows that I'm grateful that I get to watch even if I can't always find the words to talk about it. These characters have my whole heart. [everyone should be watching this and the wonderful @isaksbestpillow has made that possible with her subs. Here is the post with the latest episode. ]

🇹🇭SunsetxVibes [3/12] - It's ridiculous, it's fun, it's cute. Sun is such a simp. Man basically proposed before they were even dating. And yeah the way it started was not amazing, with the lying, but these two actually communicate about their expectations and what they're feeling which is better than a lot of shows right now. And I adore the sides.

🇹🇭The Rebound [2/12] - Everyone is gay and naked. And they play a sport of some kind.

🇹🇭The Trainee [1/12] - OffGun are back! I really liked the set up for this. It's only the first episode but I really like how they are walking the line between the comedy and the seriousness of the workplace. I love a good friend group so I'm looking forward to seeing how the relationships between all the interns grow. Poon is once again playing the silly brainless child of the pack but I don't care, I adore that kid for some reason. And next week we already got Gun crying so what's not to like?

🇹🇭 Wandee Goodday [10/12] - I already talked about my feelings regarding the last episode. I'm here for Oyei/Cher and Plakao. I love Inn and Great, they deliver with the chemistry but the DeeYak storyline is just a mess for me right now. I am also not looking forward to the inevitable redemption of the terrible parental figure.

🇹🇭 We Are [13/16] - The friendships are still great and mainly why I'm watching. I have a really good time watching those scenes. Only 3 episodes left and ChainPun continue to be the tinniest of crumbs. I don't expect much from this couple at this point and I'm a bit disappointed. FangTan are so cute and such good communicators. They are my favourites. QToey are cute. Now, Phum and Peem. Look PondPhuwin are really good at looking at each other like they're the only person in the universe. However. There's only so many times I can enjoy them staring at each other in slow mo. Once per episode oughta be enough I think. Hopefully now that they're actual boyfriends it gets a little less annoying.

QL - Finished

🇯🇵25 Ji, Akasaka de - What an incredible journey. I have to say it has been a while since a show surprised me this much, for the positive. For most of it I wasn't sure where it was gonna go or how it would end or who would be doing the running. The way they played with the show within a show was so well done. I loved the change in pov, which I always love in jbls, but it not only gave us the opportunity to see how Hayama's crush started but also we were allowed to see behind the mask that Hayama had been keeping up. Speaking of. I love him, one of my favourite characters of the year. And Komagine Kiita did an incredible job. I can't wait to watch him again when Tengu returns. If I had to say, the one thing I wish I had was more of Shirasaki's backstory. I wanted to understand better why his self-esteem got that bad. But that ending was great and honestly, I earned it.

🇵🇭Marahuyo Project - Well that was excellent. This show is beautiful. I want to hug them all and walk next to them. I really don't have the words for it right now so just go watch it. Because these characters are incredible and the visuals are stunning. All episodes here.

🇹🇭 Only Boo! - This is getting tiresome. Here it goes. Why? It was so great. They were the cutest shit and I had a smile on my face the entire episode. Even with the singing. It was wholesome and the mains delightful. And then... Heartbreak, time skip, no consequences, unearned happy ending. I mean Moo is a great character still, and Kang is the best boy, but I'm tired.

Rose Watches OJBL

Mood Indigo (2019) - I liked this one slightly better than the first. I think the visuals are stronger and there are some incredible shots throughout. The sex scenes are some of the best shot that I've ever seen. I love Kijima so even though I'm not always on board with prequels, it was great that we got more insight into him. Obviously we know this relationship was doomed from the start, and Kido has a lot to do with how we find Kijima in the beginning of The Novelist, but I can't help but feel for Kido. He is a mess that is struggling between the expectations that are on him (put there by others but also himself) and the affection and desire he feels for Kijima. And even without watching The Novelist there is always an air that this will not end well. For lack of a better phrase, it just wasn't meant to be. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this series.

Dangerous Drugs of Sex (2020) - One of my first thoughts when I was watching this was 'we are using the word unhinged too freely'. Cause Ryoji has little competition on that score. This is not an easy watch. I really liked the way it was shot even if at times that meant my view was too narrow so I couldn't look anywhere else but the 'uglier' parts. In completely different ways they were both stuck in an uncomfortable (yeah that's not really the best word but I can't think of another) place and I could feel that throughout. I'm not sure about the ending but they look happy, so what do I know?

Other - Watched

There's a lot airing so I didn't watch much outside ql. I finished Under the Skin and rewatched a couple of things. My watchlist got longer and I have a bunch of shows that I'll hopefully tackle during my summer holiday in July. Speaking of...

There is a lot coming next month, so here is a post with all the shows that have been announced for July that I updated to include Meet You at the Blossom that was recently announced. New jbl starts tomorrow!!!!

As usual my ask box is open for questions or requests. Have a wonderful week💜

Depollute me, pretty baby

Suck the rot right out of my bloodstream

Oh, dilute me, gentle angel

Water down what I call being grateful

Oh, you kissed me just to kiss me

Not to take me home

It was simple, it was sweetness

It was good to know

[sciderman]

do you think Tony Stark has a suit that like jerks him off? Surely he does right? Like, he's a super rich guy that makes robotic suits for a living, at some point he must've made a suit that can jerk him off. Maybe a vibrate function.

i think all his suits have that function as standard. and he uses it all the time when he's around people and on missions. he just sets the suit to autopilot mode so people think he's being normal. the suit has soundproofing and preprogrammed phrases so nobody interacting with him knows he's otherwise engaged.

[whitestopper]

Is the character 'casually representing' bisexuality? Or is it that the show is only using their same-sex attraction for laughs? Yes, this is about TGP.

Literally ended my fwb the day before we were supposed to hang out allllll day after we spent last weekend together and he texted me every day I was in Ireland for a month cause my friend saw him on a date last night and I realized fwb only works when it’s super casual and I caught a mega crush

Am I the female joker

Old me would’ve been toxic af and led him on and been like okayyyyy I don’t wanna be in a relationship but can we just have sex with eachother? But then I get locked in too smh okay oh well it was fun while it lasted. Bye bye!

[boo-trekking]

TOS Sarek was unreasonably sexy, like what was the reason? Seeing him makes me understand Amanda cause yeah I’d be gone too. NuTrek Sarek isnt worth a warm bucket of sucked on pennies. He looks uncomfortable at all times!

[rivercule]

The fact that #lgbt is trending and most of the posts are about that pirate show makes me sad

[munamania]

gross man fully swore at me (us) (lydia and a friend) bc we weren’t really laughing at his shitass jokes like ok be funny then

[whorejolras]

ajsjdkkfkf just saw a post that’s like: I’m upset because while I don’t like or respect drugs or drug users, I see that people I’m not in community with are doing drugs and I’m not privy to their conversations about harm reduction so I’m going to assume they don’t know anything about it and shame them while positioning myself, a stranger outside the community with no lived experience, as the paragon of harm reduction.” Baby. I swear to you the drug user community is practicing harm reduction and sharing harm reduction resources better than you, a non drug user ever could. The fact that you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, it just means you’re not invited. Probably because you’re no fun

Commeting on your faking orgasms.

I would never have sex again if I was booed. I'd be dead. Celibacy for life.

On one hand I agree with you but like. Would you rather have people fake their orgasm every time and never know that you're not good in bed? I'd rather go through the mortifying ordeal of being told I'm not good, so I can then get better, rather than never knowing and continuing to disappoint my partners
