i think alastor and striker should be friends and date in an aroace way so,,
alastor x striker for the bingo? :D
((also what do you think of the aroace striker hc??))
Tumblr media
I feel like these two live in too different worlds for the ship to work (like, they'd straight up never see each other because Striker is never in Pride) but I can definitely see the appeal. They're both very sex and romance indifferent/averse, they both have very strong values and enjoy killing to assert dominance, they're both tied to someone more powerful than them whom they hate... There's definitely something worth exploring between these two, whether it be romance or a different type of dynamic (allies? Killing buddies? Competitors?)
I really like the aroace Striker headcanon, because it just makes sense. Why wouldn't he be aroace? What else could he possibly be? I can't see him being anything else. From what we've seen so far, my reading of his character is that he is sex and romance averse, but he also knows how to use his charm to win people over (like during Sweet Victory, where he was clearly acting alluring towards the public but then kicked the girl who ran toward him—aka, he's fine with being seen as attractive from a distance, but has no interest in anyone actually coming close). I think he might also feel insecure about not fitting in with allosexual people (that could be why he has that statue in his lair, but who knows). I ultimately think his "relationship" with sex so far has mostly been used for comedic relief, which, mind you, I enjoy, but I can see why some people might not consider it evidence enough one way or another.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually became canon that he's aroace. I'd love that, honestly! Queerness shouldn't be reserved for the redeemable/likeable characters. You can be queer AND a pathetic piece of shit, you know what I mean? 😂
Yeah, those are my thoughts, I'd love to hear other people's!
