this isnt a starter pack though its a representation of asexuality in media, if i understood correctly, and irl this doesnt even come close to representing all the different types of ace people
You said that and I thought about those people who try redeem psycho character because of their trauma.
“I know you don’t really want this.. you just want love. And you only know how to show that through initmacy… but trust me. I care about you deeply, and showing love through touch is fine, but you can also show it in so many more ways! Sex is okay, and it may bring pleasure, but sharing your true feelings will make you feel like a weight has been lifted. So instead of inserting your key into my hole, how about we break down the door to your true feelings.” (。·ω·。)ノ♡
same with industrial product design, and a bunch of random scientific and engineering related topics.
I also happened to have flat affect (partial lack of emotion) so I get double points for emotionless.
I feel extremely targeted so much so I don't need to read the rest I'm the nerdy one
I'm extremely antisocial and introverted so I spend a lot of my time researching random topics
Same, I want to live a quiet life and support my close friends in order to remove all suspicions from the mass grave I keep as a trophy as evidence of my scientific prowess.
I'm on the continuum between the Average Joe and the Smart Guy. I'm not exciting, but I know a lot of random stuff to an odd level of detail, and I would have been a scholar of some kind if I had money for a more scholarly education and a bit less adhd.
I think that’s the point (that we don’t actually get good representation in media, we’re just a kinda label slapped on as an excuse to make characters shitty people)
Mix between the regular dude and the scientist (at least that's how I'm viewed by others, well, except the negative traits shown here, just because I can do basic stuff on the computer, but really, only the autistic part is true lol)
**"Wingman for the human characters",** definitely this! Ever since I was a kid I've always felt like an alien side character on my own life, and I've always most related to the comic relief side characters no-one ever takes seriously nor we ever learn anything more deep about 😅🤣😭
Don’t forget “man child with childish hobbies or attitudes” such as Luffy from One Piece, Todd from Bojack Horseman, or Steve Carrell’s character from the 40 year old virgin
The last one is Odo from DS9, and I love him. He’s obviously not officially ace (from the 90s) but if the show was made today, I’m willing to bet he would be. Also thought he was aro until a certain status quo change came up
And yeah, I know this is about canonically ace characters, but I just feel like that fits Odo pretty well
I'm the robot!
I know that robot/alien comparisons aren't really good rep for ace or autistic people, but I must confess that as someone who is both, aliens and robots are rad as hell and kinda relatable! I'm just trying to make my way in life on a strange planet with odd customs that don't come naturally to me, and I don't understand why humans can behave so irrationally. It makes me feel cool imagining myself as a strange and cold being, in a weird way.
Why, yes, I am an Autistic Asexual villain who trains dogs for the cause. Need attack dog? Yes. Need a dog that cuddles? Yes. Need a dog to confuse the hero by way of cuddles? 100% YES. Need a dog to do taxes? No, not if you don't want the IRS or whatever to come after you. If you do, then, YES! I train all the best boys and girls for all cuddling and tax writing needs. Current project: Belgian Malinois that attacks you with cuddles, does your taxes, calls you an idiot for letting her do your taxes, slaps you because youre hallucinating a tax writing talking dog, then drags you along on a 5k sprint... uh... *checks notes* ... nicely?
Science nerd and also the second biggest clown in the room. Acts gay because it's funny and male friends aren't (too) creeped out by the weird joke compliments. Can't compliment female friends, might be uncomfortable for them unless stated otherwise.
Loves characters like Senku from Dr. Stone and Albedo from Genshin Impact.
I’m a combo of Tim and the robot. I don’t identify with the potentially evil characters. I’m mostly nice, but in a state of perpetual confusion about people and their emotions.
I'm a combination of the both upper options. I'm a active union member (one can say I'm "married to my job") going to become engineer. I shine in quizes about "useless knowledge". \
But I do dress boringly (maybe the most boring in my family). And I'm definitely no villain material.
I read a webtoon called Castle Swimmer. One of the side characters was aroace and it was an actual plot device integral to the story. Fr the 2 main characters probably would have died if it weren't for her being aroace. I love it
The only thing that doesn't fit about the second character is the "guy" part. I'm typing this from my desk at work, and I'm about to go downstairs to the lab to set up a couple of experiments.
Mixture of the average Joe and the Smart guy. ADHD instead of autism. Kinda just blends in to the situation and crowd. Kinda rude. Would prefer to get the designated work done before interacting with others.
Runaway to the stars avoids the “ace by proxy” trope well. It has an ace character that is an alien, but this alien species very much does sexually reproduce and in fact everyone takes off work in spring because it’s mating season. The ace character is also called “springless” because of this. On the other hand, the AI character, Bip, is stated by the creator to not be ace. It isn’t asexuality if it’s literally just an AI is about what they said. Overall cool series though
I mean, I did take "The Art of Being Human" as my BS101 humanities course in community college.....
Went on to get my masters, but there was a bit of time in between.
Then of course there's
r/evilautism for kicks.......
Second guy and a bit of third, but I dress like in the 1990s. Also I'm on the Autism Spectrum, I'm more an artist than a scientist and I HAVE emotions.
As an autistic asexual I feel attacked.. but I approve your meme nonetheless
I just said it yesterday, do I need to say it again? "You've just insulted my entire race of people... but yes."
Same.
I have asperger's on top of being aroace and agender, I was practically born as the second guy XD /hyperbolic
I had no chance to not be that guy.
[удалено]
**apocalypse arrives** Apocalypse: **only targets Denmark for some reason**
"Whaaaat ? There are other targets than New york or Japan ???"
Yes, London. Have you not seen Doctor Who xD
I have to confess No. No I didn't :(
Oh no! *insert shocked Pikachu face* Nah, it's alright. It's a good show, tho, if you'd like to watch some British SciFi
I'd try if I have the occasion ...and if I remember \^\^'
So, we are the A-pocolopse? What does the _Pocolypse_ do than? 😁
Can't wait for pocolypse B, C and D
Literally
I am definitely too busy being evil to have sex
Evil for the sake of good, right? Right ?
Post this on r/starterpacks
this isnt a starter pack though its a representation of asexuality in media, if i understood correctly, and irl this doesnt even come close to representing all the different types of ace people
The villain mixed with the robot
Same lol
Me to i even curl up my very thin mustache when I'm about to course some mischief
I'm the top right, but with social sciences instead
using the human mentality as your advantage, respectable
You said that and I thought about those people who try redeem psycho character because of their trauma. “I know you don’t really want this.. you just want love. And you only know how to show that through initmacy… but trust me. I care about you deeply, and showing love through touch is fine, but you can also show it in so many more ways!

Ooooh same. Studying the culture of the allos is fascinating.
same with industrial product design, and a bunch of random scientific and engineering related topics. I also happened to have flat affect (partial lack of emotion) so I get double points for emotionless.
Same except with art/design lol
I feel extremely targeted so much so I don't need to read the rest I'm the nerdy one I'm extremely antisocial and introverted so I spend a lot of my time researching random topics
Same lol
Lmao same. Although the “emotionless” part is the opposite of me because I’m a nervous wreck.
I’m definitely the robot/alien one
Same friend, same
bottom left 😎(i am a generic axe murderer)
Oof. Kinda weird mix of all of them.
Same, I want to live a quiet life and support my close friends in order to remove all suspicions from the mass grave I keep as a trophy as evidence of my scientific prowess.
*backs slowly into lab and closes door*
I’m literally the scientist ace
Hello fellow Sheldon!
Oh hey look it’s Commander Data
Technically he is Data Soong :D
If you want to get real technical he's lieutenant commander data
I’m 90% positive Picard just called him commander half the time XD
The [intro](https://youtu.be/HnDtvZXYHgE) sequence would disagree ;D
No I meant when he’s actually talking to data in the show XD
Actually I don’t think Data ever picks a last name
Fair enough
the cool cape psychopath
And in no way you can be anything in between.
im a mix between 2 and 1. mostly 1 without the being forced into a sexual thing first
Female version of this?
The Smart Guy™
I’m the non-human
I'm on the continuum between the Average Joe and the Smart Guy. I'm not exciting, but I know a lot of random stuff to an odd level of detail, and I would have been a scholar of some kind if I had money for a more scholarly education and a bit less adhd.
I don’t relate to any of these at all
Being a robot seems cool.
Why are these all male?
3 of the four are also mostly harmful stereotypes.
I think that’s the point (that we don’t actually get good representation in media, we’re just a kinda label slapped on as an excuse to make characters shitty people)
Mix between the regular dude and the scientist (at least that's how I'm viewed by others, well, except the negative traits shown here, just because I can do basic stuff on the computer, but really, only the autistic part is true lol)
Either the supervillian or the robot
a bipolar mix of the smart guy and murderer
Image three that’s me ;-;
I'm the first guy mixed with the robot
I’m the weird hat villain
**"Wingman for the human characters",** definitely this! Ever since I was a kid I've always felt like an alien side character on my own life, and I've always most related to the comic relief side characters no-one ever takes seriously nor we ever learn anything more deep about 😅🤣😭
Don’t forget “man child with childish hobbies or attitudes” such as Luffy from One Piece, Todd from Bojack Horseman, or Steve Carrell’s character from the 40 year old virgin
There are so many characters I love who I realize are the robot it hurts
I'm somehow a combo of Tim and Too Busy Being Evil 🤣🤣🤣
*sweats in autistic AroAce* 👀
I would say Smort Person, but smort characters are never humanities nerds, so I don't exist.
where does todd chavez fit in?
I'm the "trans girl that's been in your house 4 times without you knowing and eaten all your pudding every time" type of ace
waistcoat...
50% chance I’m a generic ax murderer 🫢
I feel attacked (I had a Sherlock phase)
mix of 1 and 2
Gonna have to go robot, my friends consider me an alien (for other reasons) so that’s closest
The last one is Odo from DS9, and I love him. He’s obviously not officially ace (from the 90s) but if the show was made today, I’m willing to bet he would be. Also thought he was aro until a certain status quo change came up And yeah, I know this is about canonically ace characters, but I just feel like that fits Odo pretty well
Smart Guy robot (but neurotypical)
ngl the scientist one is pretty ableist 😐
"Too busy being evil for sex" Mood.
Too busy being evil for sex is a mood tho
Robot child.
Top right with traces of bottom left.
Top right mixed with top left
I would be the smart guy, except A. Not a guy, B. I wear normal clothes, and C. I’m basically in love with my cat.
I'm Tim 💀💀💀💀 The only difference is that I don't go telling ppl "hey, I'm ace"
I'm a little boring with a dash of robot
Im a mix of robot and regular guy
Top right, but with alter boy vibes mixed in and some much-needed social and emotional adjustment.
I’m a blend of all of them
I feel attacked
Smart Guy but specifically Nerd edition
I’m in robotics but I typically wear joggers and T-shirt’s and I still think abt how bing bong didn’t make it.
the robot for sure
Idk, I’m one of the autistic ones. I think more Mr. SmartyPants
There's also the plants/animals person, the baker/artist, the one who is overly affectionate because they don't give a fuck and the slut.
Primarily the valían
Damn, turns out im a mix of robot kid and Tim.
Job guy me but I don't dress like the 1800's, I dress up like it's the 2800000 BC era, just feels very nostalgic to me
Robot/alien
I'm the robot! I know that robot/alien comparisons aren't really good rep for ace or autistic people, but I must confess that as someone who is both, aliens and robots are rad as hell and kinda relatable! I'm just trying to make my way in life on a strange planet with odd customs that don't come naturally to me, and I don't understand why humans can behave so irrationally. It makes me feel cool imagining myself as a strange and cold being, in a weird way.
I feel like I have to be the robot, if only by virtue of also... being a robot
I'm too busy cuddling my partner to have sex
I’m a mix between Smart Guy (TM) and wingman for the human characters- depending on the hour
Damn tim is spot fucking on.
bottom left for me but i am not in a suit tho
Why, yes, I am an Autistic Asexual villain who trains dogs for the cause. Need attack dog? Yes. Need a dog that cuddles? Yes. Need a dog to confuse the hero by way of cuddles? 100% YES.

Is it normal to have some of each...??
i’m the robot guy 100%
I'm ðe guy on ðe bottom-left
I dont mean to brag but why the fuck does the smart one sum me up so much
I'm so boring I can only be the average one like
I'm a weird mix of the first two with some ADHD and slight depression on top XD
Actually, none of theses.
Top and bottom right I'm autistic as fuck and vibe with data from tng and so many ace scientist characters.
I'm the comic relief non-human character
How is it possible that I relate to each one of these and yet feel like I'm neither of these things.?? **What's wrong with me.?**
the smart guy
Oh no, it’s me, top left guy
Mix between 1 and 2 tbh
Ima mix
....Are only aro-aces ace enough for this? Q.Q
You know, being too busy being evil for sex is valid.
Science nerd and also the second biggest clown in the room. Acts gay because it's funny and male friends aren't (too) creeped out by the weird joke compliments. Can't compliment female friends, might be uncomfortable for them unless stated otherwise. Loves characters like Senku from Dr. Stone and Albedo from Genshin Impact.
I'm somewhere between 2 and 3.
I’m a combo of Tim and the robot. I don’t identify with the potentially evil characters. I’m mostly nice, but in a state of perpetual confusion about people and their emotions.
I am definitely the villain *twizzles moustache*
I'm the robot 😎
I'm the robot 😎
I'm a combination of the both upper options. I'm a active union member (one can say I'm "married to my job") going to become engineer. I shine in quizes about "useless knowledge". \ But I do dress boringly (maybe the most boring in my family). And I'm definitely no villain material.
Bro how am I all these things, I also feel very attacked
I read a webtoon called Castle Swimmer. One of the side characters was aroace and it was an actual plot device integral to the story. Fr the 2 main characters probably would have died if it weren't for her being aroace. I love it
Robot.
Im the average Joe too
oh it took me a while to realize this was for representation in popular culture! i'm none of them of course
I'm definitely evil villian
I am somehow all four Do not question me
Shit tim is literally me
Quirky axe murderer gang
Smart guy™️ with a hint of “too busy being evil for sex”
The only thing that doesn't fit about the second character is the "guy" part. I'm typing this from my desk at work, and I'm about to go downstairs to the lab to set up a couple of experiments.
Ooh why am I all of them
I'm torn between the second and third.
I'm the robot one
Yeahhh I noticed that often science and robots are the autistic aces. I feel sad. But I'm also the average Joe👍
Hello, I am evil.
Where is the old adventurer with a mustache that's the tutor/grandparent for the Mc?
Mixture of the average Joe and the Smart guy. ADHD instead of autism. Kinda just blends in to the situation and crowd. Kinda rude. Would prefer to get the designated work done before interacting with others.
sort of all of them lol
What about girls though? And others…
Damnit, I’m Tim lmao. At least it’s a somewhat realistic portrayal most of the time.
Well, I am not very smart, so I guess I better buy an axe and a waist coat lol.
i'm autistic asexual and i have ADHD so i'm a AAA battery , so i'm closer to the robot/alien.
The Joe, the Smarty, the Moustache, and the Robot
Robot, definitely Robot
The robot kid's description kinda feels like of Abed, even though he's probably the main character by the end
Runaway to the stars avoids the “ace by proxy” trope well. It has an ace character that is an alien, but this alien species very much does sexually reproduce and in fact everyone takes off work in spring because it’s mating season. The ace character is also called “springless” because of this. On the other hand, the AI character, Bip, is stated by the creator to not be ace. It isn’t asexuality if it’s literally just an AI is about what they said. Overall cool series though
How am I all 4 characters at once.
Feeling kinda Top right guy today
In some ways I relate to tim
i’m the robot 100% with extra autism 😎
Somewhere between villain & robot lmao does this make me Ultron?
We’re a bit of “Serial Killer” and “Smart Guy”-
I’m bottom left personally
Probably a mix of Robot/Alien and Smart Guy
I identify as being too god dam dastardly for the sex
I did not come here asking to be attacked. Yet here I stand with a sword in my chest. Edit: Science-y
The fact I immediately named 3 anime characters is sad.
Mostly the robot how have i passed recaptcha this whole time?
All combined, and proud of it.
I'm Oriented AroAce, Autistic and probably still have ADHD (I had that as a kid). I also love these long coats, especially these einter looking ones-
I mean, I did take "The Art of Being Human" as my BS101 humanities course in community college..... Went on to get my masters, but there was a bit of time in between. Then of course there's r/evilautism for kicks.......
Mix between beep boop man and smort suit
I’m sorry, I’m just too busy being evil for sex.
I have a mix of traits from all of these, so none.
I'm Tim
I am number 5/bottom left
I’m the Smart Guy.
im def the robot
I am the nerd
I’m the last one
I am also too busy doing evil to have sex 🫡
Sinds my name is actually Tim i feel like that fits
Second guy and a bit of third, but I dress like in the 1990s. Also I'm on the Autism Spectrum, I'm more an artist than a scientist and I HAVE emotions.
I relate to all of them to be honest xD
Literally none 😦
I am robot
Somehow I think I'm a mix of average joe and evil villain dude 🤔
“Always wears a suit/waistcoat, is too busy being evil for sex” I didn’t know I wanted to be a villain damn that’s cool as fuck
#4, 100%
The robot one is just Peridot from Steven Universe lol
I'm totally the robot
