[thegeminisage]

cr*tical r*le takes under the cut i am NOT tagging this i do NOT wish to get into a debate if you message me to tell me how wrong i am im going to fly my hick ass up to ur house and bring u back to throw u in the south carolina BOGS. if you r*blog this post i will fucking come to your house and KILL you. ok. now that that’s out of the way,

i think caduceus clay being ace is GREAT!!! im so fucking thrilled, i was actually a little bit determined not to like him at first cause i was sooo sore about molly, but ive watched a few episodes with him and i DO like him, and now i like him even more (he’s pink! he’s goth! he’s ace! my kinda guy) even though i may never catch up with how slow i am (it's just so hard to sit down and start something i know will take 3-4 hours even if i put it on 1.5x speed lol when i know i have almost literally a hundred episodes ahead of meeeee augh)

i did watch The Clip and i feel like tal was also sort of implying a little bit that he might also be aro or arospec??? and like, i personally would be thrilled with an aroace icon but i kind of hope he either doesn’t clarify or says later that he’s not aro, not bc i don’t think aros deserve what aces got last night but bc i was in the tag on tumblr and twitter for only .5 seconds and already people are wondering If They Can Still Ship Him. i feel like, personally, As An Ace And Probably Arospec Person: yes u should still be able to ship him esp if it’s in like a complicated Authentic Ace/Arospec kinda way. arospec ppl will know what i mean. when it’s like ??? romance? friendship? what’s the difference if we’re not fucking/desiring to fuck? does it even matter? who cares!

i also don’t want to wind up in a place where it’s like, people who were really invested in caduceus ships Before It Was Canon (valid) vs people who want to respect that he’s aro (also valid), because all that’s going to do is get a lot of aphobia thrown around (like every time someone complains that we shouldn’t ship caduceus someone else will call them homophobic and cringe lol). so like, i think maybe he’s aro, i’d love for him to be aro, but also i very much do not want him to be aro. yk. i want it to be a nice thing, not a “exclusionists and shippers now resent aro/ace people because we ‘stole’ him and insist on respecting his identity and they’re going to be shitty about it” thing. that’s all. we can avert the entire problem by having him...NOT be aro, or at least just arospec and not like, fully uninterested in The Romance.

ok!! post over goodbye
