no actually i’m gonna be vulnerable on main because i’m really emotional about the varient cover that only came out last week. when i was a teenager there literally wasn’t really visible ace characters in media which is when you need representation the most because without it you start to feel fucked up and broken and like there’s something wrong with you (in some cases, not all of course) and i still remember crying over todd from bojack horseman coming out even though i didn’t watch the show because i had literally never seen someone come be asexual in media ever. let alone on a popular tv show that people really love and in such a big scene. it was usually so hush hush or vague like when raphael from goddamn shadownhunters had his little not interested in sex arc and like that was all we got. god i remember just biting and clawing and grasping at straws trying to find someone like me. and then we had a couple more. there’s jughead in his own run of comics. we had that one character in that one episode of sex education. it started to filter into ya books and comics. there’s loveless and heartstopper. there’s some video games with side characters. and slowly slowly we’re getting more visible and it usually still sucks because people are so awful so frequently but now there’s a whole ass superhero with the fucking asexual flag right on the goddamn cover like oh my god that’s Visible !! you can’t miss that !!! and there’s probably still ace teenagers out there because we’re always out there and they get to have this now. we all get to have this now. holy shit our flag is on the fucking cover
