Introducing Nathaniel, the love interest of my upcoming romance novel, The Tengu And The Angel! Bio:

Name: Nathaniel Azrael Bythesea

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Occupation: Fashion designer/owner of a Victorian gothic online store called Black Rose

Blood Type: A

Likes: Victorian novels and fashion, tea, white roses, tabletop RPGs, his boyfriend's cooking, electro-swing

Dislikes: Christmas, dogs, especially pitbulls, horror movies, the beach, being yelled at

Sexuality: Demiromantic homosexual

Ethnicity: Black-British, but has Haitian ancestry on his mother's side

Friends: Tamara Cato, Layla Cato (Best friends), Kunio Yoshioka (Roommate, and later boyfriend)

Relatives: Unnamed father (deceased), Unnamed mother (Disowned)

Personality: Described as 'gentle, yet radiant' (By my beta reader lol), Nathaniel is an extraordinarily kind and gentle person, who goes out of his way to help others, especially those he feels he can relate to. Having been abandoned by his mother at the age of three, and grown up in fostercare, he often feels as if there's no point in him being alive, as nobody loved him, or wanted him as a child. He is an excessive people-pleaser, and his self worth is mostly dependent on what others think of him. He believes that if he can make everyone like him, then maybe someday, someone will love him, however, this belief has lead to him being trapped in a toxic relationship with his ex 'best friend', Theo, who is emotionally abusive towards him. Will he ever realise his own self-worth, and escape Theo's clutches?

Welcome to the canon aspec swag showdown

Where your favorite canon aspec characters will go head to head in a battle of strength, wits, and most of all, canon aspec swag.

SUBMISSION RULES: 1. Characters can be asexual, aromantic, aroace, demi-, grey-ace, or any other aspec lablel

2. Real people are allowed if they're publicly out as aspec and I feel like including them. Or if it's funny enough.

3. Characters must be canon aspec: confirmed in text using an aspec label OR confirmed by word of god OR expressed disinterest in sex and/or romance in text

Why only canon characters? I wanted to highlight the canon aspec characters that are out there and introduce people to new media with canon asexuality, aromanticism, and more.

4. One submission per character per person. I encourage people to submit multiple characters, and multiple people can submit the same character, but don't spam your favorite character.

5. Don't fight on my posts or in my inbox. If you need to complain about whatever characters people are submitting or that people aren't voting for your blorbo, vagueblog about it like a civilized person.

6. Propaganda is allowed. Encouraged even.

Help I keep making all my OCs asexual

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

If there is at least one thing I can credit FE for doing better than Tales in localization, it's not trying to actively go out of their way for an entire game to avoid subtext or direct text between two men that is romantic or implied romantic. Funny when it's so present that the attempt doesn't even work; infuriating that it was attempted to begin with.

So as much as I often have issues with some of FE's localizations, at least they have a leg up on loc Tales for that.

It’s Valentine’s Day, so today is the perfect day to do a shameless self promo for my book, The Tengu And The Angel! If you don’t have plans this Valentine’s Day, how about spending it in a comfy place, while binge-reading a slow burn romance about two geeky best friends slowly realising that they’re meant for each other? My book features:

-Friends to lovers

-Mutual pining

-A very sweet slow burn romance

-Found family

-Demiromantic rep (Nathaniel, the love interest, is demiromantic)

-Asian rep (The MC, Kunio, is Japanese)

-Black British rep (Nathaniel is black British

Still not convinced? Here’s a brief plot summary:

Eighteen year old Kunio has just run away from his abusive mother, and he's journeying up north in search of a new home, and a fresh start. He's armed with nothing but his dreams of being a successful artist, and his vivid imagination. He thinks of his new adult self as a tengu; strong, proud, and capable of things his child self could only dream of. 

Twenty year old Nathaniel seems to have it all; he's gorgeous, he lives in a beautiful apartment in the centre of Newcastle, and he's the owner and founder of Black Rose, a Victorian gothic online boutique. Kunio thinks of him as an angel; he's faultlessly polite and kind, and he goes above and beyond to help him, even though he doesn't know him. Nathaniel is also painfully insecure, and he lives under the thumb of his toxic 'best friend', Theo. When Nathaniel takes Kunio in, the two form a close friendship, which slowly blossoms into love. Can the two of them learn to put their pasts behind, and make their relationship work?

Let me cook,,,, potential slow burn polyamorous

[leafpool-loves-ashfur]

oh look im actually doing something for pride month for once skjvsjkdfs

okay but its not my fault every Burning Thistles main character is gay

....its my and @firealder2005​ ‘s combined fault, okay?

anyway here’s Lightningfur, aka Luna in Waca canon! She is Lesbian Arospec Ace. What does that mean? WELL! If you wanna ~simplify~ it, you can just think of her as AroAce or Lesbian Ace. Simply put, she is NOT interested in anything sexual (it is very ew icky “why would you ever DO THAT?!” to her; she has never been able to grasp the concept), and has a similar belief towards romance (she gags at any sign of affection, truly). BUT! She does hold a small semi-romantic/not-completely-platonic attraction towards gals.

She is not exactly AWARE of her not-so-platonic attraction towards she-cats up until a certain character points it out to her in BT. Spoilers, but her best friendship with Silverstream was actually a pretty big... Well, I’m not sure crush is the best word, but it’s like, Silverstream was the one and only person (who wasn’t her kin) that she would both kill and die for, that she wanted to spend every waking and even sleeping moment with. She was comfortable with physical affection from Silverstream and even desired it. She got jealous when other cats spent time with Silverstream (needless to say she wasn’t the happiest with Silverstream and Graystripe’s relationship, but she kept it secret because it made Silverstream happy). Silverstream was her everything.

Sucks that Silverstream’s gone, huh?

Yeah, she wasn’t even aware her own feelings for Silverstream were so intense. And she’s very good at repressing when it means she feels powerful, in control, and closer to reaching her goals. So... she may never truly realize the extent - that she loved Silverstream as more than just a best friend.

...But she will get a nudge in the right direction. No spoilers, for now ;)

....except, spoilers for now because there’s spoilers below the cut lol. Spoilers for a future Lightningfur design!! Includes two major details that are very easily spoiler-y, and have not occurred as of BT Chapter 101.

and since you’ve already spoiled yourself to these little details, I guess I can spoil a few more things, hm? Albeit vaguely.

Anyway, Lightningfur WILL realize she holds attraction towards she-cats (she just doesn’t like doing overly romantic, if anything at all, and DEFINITELY not anything sexual with them). And she has confirmed other love interests.

And one thing she does know she finds herself attracted to - once she realizes she’ll never have a best friend like Silverstream again - is power and being mean.

And being attracted to assholes doesn’t exactly make for the best relationships.
