It's ACE week, I'm still Demi, and Gwen is still Aro/Ace

ICYMI, it's Ace week! ICYMI, I am demisexual and therefore part of the ace spectrum. ICYMI, I made a comic with @bailierosenlund.bsky.social @wastedwings.bsky.social & @alannawrites.bsky.social about Gwenpool coming out as ace and aro and you can read it! https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/love-unlimited-gwenpool-interview-creative-team-marvel-unlimited

The Archangel Uriel works as a librarian at a prestigious university. It helps him take time away from his real job: trying to keep balance and order in the universe. A job made harder by a drunk guardian Angel who was tasked with guarding the life of the messiah, who is the worst. In his free time, Uriel likes to read bodice-busting Harlequin romance novels and imagining he has a boyfriend. He likes to thrift and collect eccentric trinkets and is doing his best not to completely lose his mind with the stress of the job.

Uriel is one of the main characters of the horror/comedy webcomic I’m working on called “You Will Not Be Saved” about a wayward guardian and his charge. Uriel is the Angel you meet first and is less batshit then his counterparts. But that’s not saying much.

♥️💜💙 HAPPY PRIDE! 🖤🤍💜

A reminder that bi people in m/f relationships are still bi and are part of the queer community! Same with ace and aro people!

It’s frustrating being a bi creator with a bi story featuring a m/f lead. It doesn’t make my story an “auto success” and doesn’t protect me from rate bombing and hateful, bigoted comments, whether it be biphobic or fatphobic, or just downright racist.

I hope my platform will make good on their word to give queer creators a safer platform to post on.

In the meantime, show your favorite queer creators writing queer stories some love! We need the support and love from our audiences to keep our series afloat.

Anyway read Brimstone and Roses on WEBTOON!

Here we are, six weeks later...

HEY!

So, in case you haven’t heard, our six week run on Love Unlimited following Gwenpool wrapped up today and...

and as much as I did write all of this and it is extremely important to me, I feel I really need to make sure you all know that this didn’t start with me.

To be completely accurate, it started with Chris Hastings and crew for creating such an amazing and nuanced character out of what could have only ever been a high concept and a cover gag. Not that the cover gag wasn’t good, but the statue that is revealed from that piece of marble over the course of The Unbelievable Gwenpool is truly astonishing.

Then, of course, there’s you. An audience of fans with an incredible love and passion for a character who also saw a lot of the quirks and experiences that we as people on the asexual spectrum experience and talked about it online.

Which is where the incredible @alannawrites, my editor, comes in. Alanna had been looking for an opportunity to tell a story about being ace in Marvel comics. We had kind of skimmed around the edges during Unstoppable Wasp, but ultimately being a character who owed so much to a movie franchise, there were a lot of nerves there. Gwen was not only a great opportunity to tell a story of a person hyper aware that they are in a story struggling with the tropes that affect their actual life, it was a chance to bring about this story for a character a lot of the fandom already saw as ace. Obviously, not everybody, but still a lot.

So when editorial game to okay to tell this story, Alanna reached out to me - somebody she’d worked with but also specifically had just had their own little coming out as demisexual a little while back. I was thrilled by the idea and before long we brought on @bailiesartblog and Kelly and had a full creative team of people on the ace spectrum. This is easily the first time that’s ever been a thought.

For me it was important that it not just be a story of coming out, but that it be a Gwenpool story. A story of knowing how stories work, what tropes you can play with, trying to direct the story where you think it should go, and ultimately finding that the story just won’t comply. And for people who have experienced being on the ace spectrum or a lot of other marginalized genders and sexualities - that’s a very familiar problem.

Ultimately, it’s different from a lot of other Gwenpool stories because it’s not the world around her. She has 2-3 real working possibilities for romantic relationships in this story and one that is about to become a fully adult sexual relationship with a woman whom she really loves before it skips the tracks. Ultimately, it’s not a thing from the 616 that’s holding her back, it’s a thing she brought with her from the real world - her sexuality - and no matter how worthy you are, you can’t beat that with a hammer.

There’ll be lots of time to talk about this later, but along with her actually saying the words and waving the flags above, one of the sequences that’s most important to me is the opening sequence of issue 6

This is the problem sometimes with being story tellers. When you think you know the story, realizing you’re not who you thought you are can feel like maybe you’re a villain. Maybe you’re a monster. Maybe you don’t belong here.

Some people on the internet seem to have decided to misinterpret this sequence as us comparing being asexual to being a monster, when very clearly that’s Gwen doing it. I’m just going to assume they’ve never had the experience of struggling to understand themselves and where they fit. Sounds fake, but whatever.

I love this FF story. I love Ben Grimm. I love this cover and that was why I gave my art team the truly unenviable task of recreating it. Like, I don’t know if you’ve been there, but I certainly have and I’d wager that most of us have at some point.

But perhaps the most important image in this scene is the next one:

Julie sees her friend, her girlfriend, the person that she cares about spiraling and literally yoinks her right out of the frame.

And sits her down and talks to her about it. And listens to her about it. And when she starts asking questions that Julie can’t answer, she finds Gwen somebody who can.

And that is an incredible gift to give to someone. And yeah, maybe we should all do that for each other, but man is it hard. Julie for one is in a multi-month relationship with this girl that just told her that not only was she lying about being ready to have sex with her, but that she didn’t actually like kissing her and has been faking enjoying some aspects of their relationship. You wanna think you would still be there for this person, but that’s a lot to handle and it takes a lot to be the person Julie is in this moment. But, personally, I love Julie Power and I think she’s the kinda person to stick with it.

And ultimately I think this scene is so important to me because I hope this book is our opportunity to be Julie Power to somebody reading this story. I hope someone who is going through a hard time or struggling with how to define themselves will find this story and it can be the hands that pull them out of the cover of Fantastic Four 51 when they need it. Maybe that’s a lot to hope for a comic, but it’s really the ambition I think the team went into this comic with. We want to tell a story about an aroace character coming to terms with who they are and learning to accept and be comfortable with it, but ultimately we hope this story gets to someone out there when they need it and makes the difference.

Well, this has gone really long and I’m sure there will be other things I wanna say about it later, but until then take care of yourselves and hopefully you’ll get the chance to be someone’s Julie Power.

P.S. - Julie, you’re amazing and I’m sure we will find a romance for you that works out eventually. Sorry that we’ve collectively now put you through three breakups.

The Archangel Ambriel. He’s thought to be the most beautiful being in existence. And once, he believed that. It was rumored that he had eyes that could make anyone love him. Eyes that let him appreciate all the beautiful things in the world. Eyes that saw a man who he immediately loved. Eyes that were destroyed by a jealous lover who is worshipped by millions. Now, he’s a shell of who he was. He thinks he’s a monster. And his low self-esteem and desperate desire to be loved makes him an easy target for those who seek to do him harm. But he’s not as weak as he thinks. And he’s not as alone as he thinks. And he certainly isn’t the only one who wants to see Justice fall on the neck of the man who maimed him.

Ambriel is one of the main characters in a horror/comedy webcomic I’m designing (his arch deeply rooted in the horror side of this story). He’s one of the characters I’ve always loved most because I want him to be okay. But even as I write the story, I don’t know if he’s going to make it out.
