As this year comes to a close here's hoping for more (I.e. any) Morally grey aroace protagonists in (adult) fiction. Because as much I love Ymir by Rich Larson, I can't just keep reading one book over and over again. I'm starving for Dirtbag Aces in media.

#books #asexual #booklr #ace #asexual books #aroace #ace books #I honestly feel so alone in wanting more villainous or at least not 100% squeaky clean moral paragon ace characters #especially bc the rest of the community has decided that those type of aces are “bad representation” like yeah there's a history of villains #being coded as asexual to emphasise their evil bc appearantly not experiencing attraction = evil #but God damn it is so demoralising seeing other queer identies getting to have Good(!) messy/morally derelict representation that has #dedicated subcultures that clamour for and celebrate such #but the ace community is still on that infantilisation type beat where ace characters have to be the most blandly inoffensive #can't so much as say a mean word goody toe shoes or it's “bad rep”#pheww I went off a bit there but uh yeah if you want a class traitor drug addicted cyborg alien monster hunter ace mc then read #ymir by Rich larson #and if you also appreciate a good villainous ace then let me know so I'm not the lone ace who likes the “bad rep” aces #also i don't dislike good/nice characters and I genuinely hate the edgelord sentiment that good/nice (queer) characters are boring ugh #I'd just like to see more variety in aroace characters and not see every halfway decently written villainous ace character get dumped on for #“bad representation” by the ace community #so yeah I love me some #dirt bag aces
