taylor johnson 〄 19, hillman university sophomore criminal justice young adult league

also hailing from cavalier cove, brindleton bay, taylor is the child of two veterinarians. he actually did not know lennox before they came to hillman, but instead met her at a party when he started dancing to 'my goodies' by ciara and lennox joined him -- a dance battle ensued. his life was pretty simple growing up, nothing too crazy; he grew up with two dogs, sadie and sally, and an older brother, so life was pretty cozy for him. while his parents would've loved for him to follow in their footsteps and become a veterinarian, taylor genuinely did not like the idea of being a veterinarian. to him, the most painful part of an animal's life is seeing them pass away. did he wanna deal with that?

no.

currently a criminology major, taylor wants to become a deputy sheriff back home in brindleton bay, as he wants to stay closer to his parents for a little while. his parents are a little bit older, so he personally just wants to spend as much time with them as possible before he can't anymore. he is currently apart of hillman's criminal justice young adult league, an organization created for students within the major to congregate, network, and attend events around the city for when they do graduate and make it to the next step in their careers. eventually, he wants to move to san seqouia when he gets more established in his career with his parents since he'll be out of the house by then.

while he focuses the majority of his friendships on lennox, rya, and sage, he has a group of guy friends outside of them that you'll usually catch him with when he isn't with them. which, speaking of, he splits his time pretty evenly between the two separate groups; he leads the most simple life out of the bunch and is usually who they go to besides each other when they're having boy issues. according to them, he understands a man's perspective and will also tell them when they need to stand up and stop being stupid (re: lennox and bryce, sage and dillon).

〄 he does not drink nor smoke, and is usually the designated driver. 〄 what is an apology for $500 alex? taylor is awful at apologies (but he's getting better!). 〄 him and rya have a very interesting relationship; kind of like if toad and toadette were in a constant state of bickering but simultaneously in love while calling each other asshole. 〄 he wants to live a genuinely simple life, and he's fine with that. in his mind, he wants to settle down in the future with a partner, 5 kids, and a huge plot of land in henford. 〄 he trained in jiu jitsu up until the 11th grade. he figured he'd learned all he needed to know and he was fine with that. 〄 if he wasn't going into criminology, he would be going into medicine to become a plastic surgeon. 〄 as far as his sexuality goes, he really doesn't know what label to give himself; he likes women, he's not opposed to the idea of men, and he's not overly hornied out like some of his peers. he thinks he's just...taylor. 〄 please don't ask him how to get somewhere. he has an awful sense of direction. 〄 he was an emt over the summer, which intensified his decision to work as a deputy sheriff later on after he gets his degree. 〄 his favorite food is corn. roasted, on the cob, elote; you name it, he's gonna eat it.

seventeen year old creature-boy Light Yagami, who is Totally Interested In Women And Definitely Not A Serial Killer, looks at porn magazines (porn magazines is generous; he's looking at scantily clad women, really) in the privacy of his own room and is so supremely weird about it that L, the man that has been Intently Observing Him Through Hidden Cameras, sees him doing it and goes, "oh. something is wrong." meanwhile, Light is internally monologuing himself into a frenzy. "ha!! take THAT. what're you gonna do now, L!? I look SO normal!!" but he doesn't. he never has. he never will. he's just used to everybody around him being too distracted by his artfully styled bangs and extensive collection of soft knitwear to notice his incredibly off-putting demeanor. he is So used to it, in fact, that he doesn't quite grasp that someone might find the image of him lounging around on his stomach and kicking his feet in the air while he stares at breasts to be. a little different. maybe even. disingenuous. oh no. shock and horror, shock and horror.

"Omg I wonder what Arthur's reaction would be if he saw the kinda content people make of him-"

TIL that theres aphobes on Tumblr trying to claim that Jughead Jones has actually been gay coded the whole time and that saying he's ace is homophobic I fucking hate it here

[cxlandine]

'gay buddy dawn' this, 'buddy dawn gay awakening' that, can i introduce you to 'aroace, secretly glad for the excuse to be abstinent and single buddy dawn'?

i'm just saying a place where abstinence is seen as holy and is celebrated and in fact attraction is the sin? that sounds like a good place to be asexual without having to label it and face discrimination

[auteurdefeu]

So I feel like it’s almost collectively agreed upon that Fabian is not straight. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about him probably not being cis either, I’m personally on board with he/they Fabian.

Now allow me to present my headcanon:

Fabian being on the asexual spectrum. Not as sex-repulsed as Riz, probably more neutral to it, but still. I’ve brought this up before but this time I’m doing it outside of the context of specific ships.

I can’t find the specific instance so someone please tell me if this didn’t actually happen, but. I could’ve sworn there was a time someone (probably Kristen) was talking about having sex, a comment was made about how Fabian could learn from that, and he insisted that he already knew how to kiss. Which, buddy… completely different thing. But it is always “getting his kisses in”, when it’s shown that the Bad Kids/Intrepid Heroes don’t usually censor themselves when it comes to that.

He’s been very awkward when it comes to any actual advances, as seen especially with Mazey this year. To be fair, that is a pretty normal thing for teenagers but for someone with his confidence, he seems skittish when it comes to proper relationships. In my experience as someone aroace-spec, I love romance and take no problem with the idea of sex in the abstract, but as soon as any of it feels personal or directed toward me, it leads to a similar kind of panic/discomfort, unsure how to engage.

My personal take on it, overall, was Fabian trying to live up to his father’s legacy. Bill got around, and Fabian spoke proudly of it in Freshman Year (only to later have to deal with the fact he apparently had a lot of half siblings that have since been eaten by Captain James… oops). Given everything else in his arc, it would make sense that he sees it as an expectation to follow in Bill’s footsteps, because that’s how to seem ‘cool’ and ‘fit in’. It seems more like something he has to do than something he actively wants.

I know he and Aelwyn apparently canonically had sex. if Siobhan hadn’t leaned into it and acted like Adaine was an unfortunate witness, I’d say it wasn’t above Fabian to beg Aelwyn to lie for him to make him seem cooler. But I digress. It’s all headcanons anyway, and asexual people can still have and enjoy sex. Just senseless rambling over here 🫡

If I had a nickel for every time Steven Moffat gave a historically aroace male character from a legacy property a female love interest because he believes that, quote, "There would be no tension in [an aroace lead], no fun in that," despite the fact that even when he writes them those romances are the least interesting parts of the character, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

So the problem with queer representation is that the representation we HAVE are tv shows about a gay main character dealing with life in high school.

Meanwhile, the representation I WANT is a gay asexual archivist that feeds an all-seeing eldritch being, and his boyfriend going through the apocalipse. Can I please get more of that?

[taxi-boi]

the vees are so funny because you know val would say some aphobic shit like "what do you MEAN someone can form meaningful bonds that transcend sex and even romance but especially sex. what do you MEAN not everyones lives revolve around fucking and sucking or atleast like loving if your into that shit"  (romance nuetral arospec allosexual)

meanwhile his on again off again boytoy fuckpartner vox has never truly been sexually attracted to anyone in his life (high libido sex positive ace demi-aro with a propensity for alterous attraction *cough one-sided radiostatic cough*)

and the both of them are in a commited platonic/business relationship with velvette who has absolutely no sexual or romantic interest in either of them (idk if shes a lesbian or aspec or bi and they're just not her type in that way; but its all the same result)

and yet none of them view their partnership as anything below or lesser than compared to the romantic and sexual relationships they do have. if not outright being more important than those (QPR-cule) 

and ofcourse vox and vel will be standing right alongside valentino as he says this, nodding along without a hint of sarcasm or self awareness because they also genuinely think they believe the same thing.

and if you try to point this out to any of them (and somehow convince them that what they have going on is queer platonic and aspec in nature) they'll just be like "yeah but we're The Vees, we're overlords, we can just do whatever the Fuck (or lack there of) we want" and you know what they're right

Todoroki thinks he and Izuku have been dating since the sports festival. He knows that they are not very demonstrative and there were no specific big declarations of love or official 'asking eachother out', but they didn't need that. It was obvious. There is no reason to question it and so he doesn't. He's very happy and secure in this relationship and feels very fulfilled

During 2nd year someone is talking in front of him about 'We all know Deku is in love with Bakugou. Its so obvious.'

Todoroki thinks about this for a little bit before announcing to Izuku (very casually, while they are doing homework) That its okay with him if Izuku wants to date Bakugou

Izuku: (is very moved by his best friends support and uses his encouragement to finally confess his feelings to Bakugou)

Todoroki: (now thinks he is in a poly thrupple with Izuku and Bakugou)

"but wouldnt he be able to tell once they leave school?"

NO because they are all roommates

"But wouldnt he notice Izuku doesnt kiss or have sex with todoroki but he does it with bakugou?"

NO because todoroki believes that the relationship is asexual on their side (but highly romantic and passionate) and hes cool with that.

"Wouldnt izuku notice?"

izuku has never known how normal people interact a single day in his life

"wouldnt bakugou get jealous?"

Bakugou ALSO thinks they are all poly

"why would he think that???"

because he ALSO thought todoroki and deku started dating during the sports festival

"oh so todoroki and bakugou have talked about it, thats why they are both so convinced!"

no. never. not once

"But wouldnt he notice that he sleeps alone?"

NO because todoroki is the perfect sleeping partner and he sleeps in the middle

"does Izuku ever find out?"

Yes, when hes like 25. A stranger mentions that hes well known for being in a poly thrupple and Izuku thinks they are insane. He goes home and realizes that apparently HE is the insane one and vows to never let on that he didn't know. 10 years after he started dating todoroki they finally have their first kiss. Todoroki is completely chill about it.

Can someone confirm that the entirety of Baron's scenes are in this clip? If so, then there's SO many ways you can interpret Riz and Baron beyond "Riz is AroAce and wants absolutely nothing to do with romantic relationships".

Same thing regarding the conversation with his dad.

The "ace talk" basically starts around 20 minutes in, and Riz only discusses his lack of sexual attraction. Romance isn't even brought up, just sex.

Again, I'm not denying Riz's possible aromantic identity. However, as many fans have pointed out many times, lack of desire/interest in romantic relationships doesn't mean a total refusal or disgust of them. To claim there is only one way for Riz to be AroAce, or that a single person's interpretation is more valid because they feel strongly about it, does nothing but dismiss the experiences of fellow Ace and/or Aro folks.

Extremely late and lazy post for international asexuality day but. Goku is literally an aro/ace pride flag and that's all the proof I need to shamelessly project onto him :>

Watching Bad's vod where q!Foolish, q!Cellbit and q!Baghera are trying to set up q!Bad with q!Forever, now with CC!Bad's comment about his character being oblivious in an aromatic way is great

The others talking about who to ship q!Bad with while he sits in his chair, the aromantic and skephalo flag slowly fading into the background because this man will not be with ANYONE unless it's Skeppy

And I love that about him. They're currently talking in metaphors and q!Bad is just "????? I don't understand" and I love him for it.

Foolish: we're talking about the emotions in your heart right now!

Bad: Diamonds are forever!

Either he did that on purpose or that's the best coincidence to ever happen
