#duke is aroace

[echosbento]

My boyfriend and I were talking about how each of the batfam make a good allegory for different queer orientations so y'all getting the list <3

Bruce: closeted homosexuality, despite the skin tight leather I actually did wind out settling on the idea that Batman is the het masking and Bruce is the true queer self

Dick: out/open homosexuality

Cass: aromantic allosexuality or transgender

Jason: demisexuality

Tim: bisexuality

Steph: pansexuality

Damian: aromantic asexuality

Duke: heteroromantic asexuality

Note this does NOT equate to my actual headcanons for their orientations, that's in the tags, it's about the way I associate their stories with the way people see and/or experience different queer/lgbt+ orientations. Reblog with your own thoughts on how you think their stories could be allegories for diff queer identities if you want! If you're cooler than me you could put some reasonings, instead of just the horrifying realization that they might've been right when they said Batman was the hetero to Bruce's homo

people asked for a continuation of a spin-offy sequel one-shot to Drinking Buddies and Diaries where Hastur gets a completely unrequited pash on Muriel. And I am really susceptible to peer pressure so lol

Here’s a TWO+ SHOT following the events of DB&D. Chap 2 is just more of Crowley n’ Muriel hanging out. ✌️ there’s some ineffable fluff in there, too. There will be a chapter three. Hopefully not a chapter four. There could end up being a chapter four.

sorry to be a part of the problem. I know Muriel x Hastur is an abomination but I am a sick woman and my brain is a swamp. And I think a pining Hastur and oblivious aroace Muriel is hilarious. Considering the fact that I have apparently originated the Hastur/Muriel relationship tag on AO3, I might be the only one 🤙🤙

Here's some of the headcanons I have for Robot Trains characters as drawings

We have:

- Duck in a goth phase as a teen (I tried)

- An aroace eating cake and garlic bread aka Duke

- Selly, the ultimate chess master with her natural hair

- Alf with painted nails because he's good at that

- Maxie eating raw cookie dough

- A blind Genie who has had her glasses stolen from her

- Kay happily singing a Japanese song, even though the lyrics aren't wholesome

Two characters I haven't talked much about before is Tyr and Greyson and just how like...unknowingly intertwined everything in Parallel U is.

Cause at first you just see Tyr, a very outgoing, friendly, Advisor and Councilor to the students who probably could have been an Uncle in another life, and Greyson, who's the mute assistant to Judas, acting basically as a Secretary.

And then you find out more about Tyr. He saved Castor and is Castor's adoptive father. He used to be in a Queer Platonic Relationship with an Ex Councilor Member who died because of Lucifer. He was raised in a Viking Village and tells stories around campfires and you can **tell** something's off about him. That there's more to the story that he's telling you.

And the only thing you find out about Greyson is that he dislikes Castor and Tyr, likely because he doesn't like that Tyr took Castor when he should never have been at Parallel U, and that he's taken a vow of silence, but no one knows *why*

And then Season 3 comes around.

And we see that Castor wasn't just taken from a random world, he was taken from a world that got ***Neutralized*** so it no longer exists. Tyr didn't just take Castor, he saved him from being erased. Castor at this point in time shouldn't exist, but he does because of Tyr.

And then you find out that Tyr was in a relationship with Sloane, an ex-council member during the time of Holly. And that Tyr accidentally gave Onyx the idea on how to lure Holly and Aaron into a trap. So he, in a certain sense, is responsible for what happened to Holly and Aaron.

And Tyr was *MAD*, to the point where he boiled over. He was too blinded by rage. He was sent on a mission with Malachi to a world with instructions to report to it's base and grab a vial. And when they did, Malachi revealed he was Neutralizing the world. It became too much, and he knocked out Malachi, and took a kid from nearby because he felt horrible an wanted to save someone. And so he left a fellow Council Member behind to die. And he took a kid with him. Castor.

And then you find out Sloane didn't die by Lucifer's hand. Judas and Greyson killed her.

And then you find out Greyson had his own plans, while everyone else had theirs. And his focused on one thing: getting back at Tyr. Sure, he helped Judas out with his plan of getting Lucifer in custody, but that was because he had to. His real goal was getting back at Tyr at every angle known to man. Killing Sloane, setting Castor up so he could never be a Councilor, ensuring students that Tyr took a liking to would never become Councilors, slowly but surely breaking him down to the point where Tyr would inevitably betray the Council, and then he could swoop in and take his revenge.

But simple revenge of killing Tyr wasn't enough. The other Councilor wanted the Viking to suffer. And what better way than a simple device that could further both his own plan and Judas' plan? A device that could convince him to attack Castor and Lucifer, and by the time he realized what happened, Greyson would leave him on Tyr's own world marked for Neutralization. Poetic Justice.

Too bad the universe had it's own Poetic Justice to deliver before that could happen.

(the idea of how revenge doesn't actually help in anyway and can actually make life worse for you in the end)

What your favourite nevermore character says about you 🫵 (personal edition)

Lenore: you’re a hopeless homosexual

Annabelle lee: you’re a hopeless homosexual but with a very bad taste in women.. (type of person to pet a venomous reptile)

Duke: you’re a sucker for sidekicks aren’t you? you’re praying that he won’t die (again) aren’t you?

Pluto: you’re a furry and all of your Original characters have a tail and cat/dog ears (I see that mcr t shirt in your closet you can’t hide it)

Berenice: Nothings wrong with you you’re perfect (please let my family go now)

Eulalie: So,,, how’s that autism diagnosis process going?

Montresor: You think he’s hot and you’re desperately waiting for a redemption arc (not happening buddy.. sorry)

William: you didn’t have many friends growing up did you..? stop hanging out with people you don’t like just because you’re afraid of loneliness

Ada: No amount of tiktok “share and they’ll fall in love with you” videos will save you from your very bad talking stage (you’re also hoping for redemption aren’t you?)

Morella: you have definitely unironically referred to yourself as a smol bean/potato in the past and own at least one frog related item

Prospero: he’s your AroAce kin isn’t he? (i don’t blame you, i see it)

Theo: … you’re sad he isn’t in more panels and desperately trying to find fandom content about him

[kara-zor-els]

Honestly the thing about male bats* for me is that they should either bitchless (Bruce, Dick) or aroace (Damian, Jason)**

* I don't know enough about Duke to categorize him yet.

** Tim gets a pass for winning the DC twink lottery.

[imlivinginyourtrashcan]

Hi hello and howdy

Since I can't contain my thoughts here's all the "Mirage" logicistics. Basically they either swap or enhance ones personality, heres a few examples:

Mirage Lenore is way more looney and impulsive, with a practically nonexistant off switch having to be dragged off screaming before she sets anything on fire, her group mainly sticks with her for fear of their own lives and she and Annabel are ALLOWED TO BE GAY!!! HOORAY!!! They still have the pretend to hate each other thing but thats mainly due to Annabel's paranoia

Mirage Duke is a shit magician who constantly looses parts of his tricks, he's also like WAYYY too overdramatic, the kinda mf to fall over if you steal his chip,

"MY CHIP!!"

"Its... its just a crisp.."

"I WAS GOING TO EAT THAT!"

"Oh my god..."

So yeah, pathetic cringefail looser LMFAO, but he is the kinda person to pull a "OMG MY BEST FRIEND! MOVE!" And shove whoever out of his way

Mirage Pluto is if you took a wet cat and made him a golden retriever. He's very hyperactive, social, easily distracted. Mf is like "wanna hear abt my hyperfixations?!" Talks and doesn't wait for an answer a neat thing i did with some characters Mirage's is i inverted stuff abt them like hair, emblems, all that. He still thinks M! Duke's magic is cool

Mirage Berenice is a feral little creature, constantly biting or nibbling on things (mainly Eulalies arm, or her own. I dont think chewlery exists in the victorian era). She's also the queen of being unhinged, in spectre form shes somewhat normal at least. For the most part she's in her own world

Mirage Eulalie is the mean autistic, less into creepy/old things n thinks their lame and/or weird. She's the one dragging Berenice around and keeping the gang from falling apart. Her and M! Morella really out here sharing the only group braincell, shes also blunt as fuck and wont hesitate to tell you you look bad. I wanted to lean more into the japanese part of her character so she just kinda- speaks more of it now (lol idk how else to explain it)

Mirage Morella, like M! Eulalie, is a mean autistic. She's less emotional, and more of "I dont give a damn just get me out of here.", sticks with whatever group she's feelin that day tbh. Won't tell you you look bad, will probably just call you a dumbass and leave

Mirage Annabel is kinda like regular Annabel but without the "Life is like chess" mentality. So more jumpy, kinda a walking talking mental breakdown waiting to happen. Excess paranoia and increase of hallucinations cus pookie and I decided we aren't giving her a break

Mirage Prospero is no longer fancy and polite, he is sopping wet germaphobic wet cat. He will go through great lengths to avoid disease, faints around blood and puke, screams at the sight of his own rats (or just rats/bugs in general), actively raising his and Annabel's blood pressure with how scardy he is.

Mirage Montresor is imo the funniest one cuz he's just a polite little gentleman, doin all the chivalry shit like opening doors, pushing chairs in and out, saying his pleases/thank yous/welcomes, he's even calling everyone "Sir" and "Ma'am". He's still an asshole, but you really gotta provoke him to see that

Tbh, I didn't think much abt Mirage Will since Will to me is kinda just there as Monty's lackey who gets kicked around. SO he's less of a pushover, more demanding, up and refuses what people tell him, bullies M! Monty, he tried bullying M! Ada and M! Morella but bro got his ass kicked. On top of it, he's unfortunately more sexist and stubborn. No more people pleasing ig 🤷‍♀️

Finally, Mirage Ada. What I wanted to do for her is have her be an absolute girlboss who is always serving 100% of the time. Everything she does is her choice and for her and her friends, and and and shes Aroace too, pretty chill when she has to reject someone just like:

"Hey i like u"

"Oh! I don't feel the same but we can still be friends?"

"Ok"

EPIC HIGH FIVE

She also beat M! Will up, good for her

So uh, yeah! Thats all i got. If you have questions, feel free to comment or ask in the askbox. :)

[professional-termite]

What Star Trek headcannons do you have?

*cracks knuckles* tng headcanons infodumping time (i havent finished tng yet but i have projected very very hard onto several characters and also made everyone on this ship bisexual bc i can)

picard:

worlds grumpiest polyam gray aroace bi man

i think if he had a grape fanta he would simply Die. not in a good way. actually any soda i think i could kill this guy with a baja blast

hes absolutely not dating riker but like half the ship thinks he is. also theyve screwed like twice but platonically dw abt it

hes dating both dr crusher and q. because i say so

riker:

TRANS MAN RIKER SUPREMACY!!! RIKER IS SO TRANS BC I SAY SO ‼️‼️

hes polyam and also arospec. i think hed like the label aroallo but gray aromantic allo bisexual is more accurate

hes dating like Everyone. data, troi, dr crusher, worf, geordi. my mans is absolutely rolling in romantic/sexual partners

he takes time to take every single one of them on dates catered to them and is absurdly romantic whenever he gets the chance. think rose petals and chocolate and violins

he doesnt ENCOURAGE rumours that he and the captain are dating but he doesnt DISCOURAGE them either

geordi:

pathetic little bisexual man. puts him in the oven

hes dating riker (everyone is dating riker lmao) and in a borderline romantic qpr with data (he calls data his boyfriend but also likes to clarify its not quite Dating since data is aroace)

data and geordi have sherlock holmes rp date nights. this one isnt even a hc actually pretty sure they literally do this in canon

worf:

aroallo bi worf is real and true i would know i was the enterprise

he acts like he hates rikers stupid romantic bs whenever he takes worf on dates (usually they end up just going to a holodeck and duking it out homoerotically afterwards anyways) but then he lays awake at night thinking about riker like 😳

i think he likes drawing skulls. i have exactly 0 canon to back this up but i think he would enjoy drawing skulls

data (can you tell hes my favourite lmao):

spends literal hours researching romantic/sexual relationships so he can be a good partner to geordi and riker even tho he considers himself aroace. usually comes up with something stupidly cheesy (even worse than riker) for dates and they both absolutely adore him for it

polyam aroace bi, and also he/him agender. because i said so

data likes to bonk his head on his partners as a show of affection. its like a kiss on the cheek/forehead except youre getting BONKED by an android

one of my moots (data la forge maybe?) said something about data purring and like thats actually canon as stated before i would know i was the enterprise

also he likes to lay his head on geordis lap. because I Said So

he is included in Girls Nights. he and keiko and troi and dr crusher all get together and he listens to their gossip while they paint his nails and do his makeup

troi:

troi tops. 100%

shes in a relationship both dr crusher and riker, and also had a thing going with tasha yar before she died

i think she considers herself poly bi with a preference for men, but she usually ends up in lasting relationships with women

i feel like she and riker are more of a qpr/fwb situation rather than a romantic one. theyre besties who are also soulbound and also love each other and also fuck nasty sometimes

dr crusher:

pansexual. did you see the way she literally did not care about gender when her parasite lover became a woman?? this is a pansexual

she likes helping data get ready for dates n stuff. they hang out in her quarters and she does his hair and picks out outfits and gives him advice

wesley:

him and his gf from that one episode (robin i think her name was??) are t4t. i base this on my Divine Intuition

summons a large eagle to carry him off into the night

q:

i want to call this man every slur i know. horrid creature. kisses him on the forehead

has no connection to gender identity or sexuality. hes probably aspec but identifies only as queer bc Q

he and picard have fucked nasty at least once. theres no way they havent

[roboticchibitan]

I am writing a new story! 35 year old lesbian gets isekai'd into the body of a 21 year old noblewoman in a fantasy world and becomes the holy maiden of three different gods in a world where transmigrators show up when the world is in great danger. She convinces an aroace Duke to be her beard simply by being accepting of aromantics. She's minding her own business trying to improve the lives of the common people in this country, to use her money and privilege for good, and finding a lover to heal her broken heart, when the Demon King starts invading this plain of existence and she has to learn real fast to fight in a war. Also she is Buddhist and clinging so tightly to the five precepts in order to save what's left of her home on earth in her heart.
