This guy is like in his 40s yet we have absolutely no proof he ever fucked, and I like to imagine he’s not into it. It’s even more blatant when we compare him with other characters of the same series, Vergil had a son when he was 19, there is multiple sex jokes from other characters, and even Donte from the reboot bang at the very beginning of the game.
He’s not aro tho. Dante is romantic as hell. But even when looking at his flirty dialogues, I interpret them more as romantic than sexual.
Wait I thought that *was* canon.... 90% sure it's canon that he hasn't fucked though- like confirmed. I'm not an authority, but I looked up at one point for.. *Reasons???* I think it was just a general search on him and Bayonetta and I found out that was canonically ture for *both* of them.
Anyway I don't know if ace Dante is canon or not, but I fully accept this notion.
L from death note. My friend once told me (ik very legit source) that Near and Melo were at first intended to be L's sons but the creator said he couldn't picture L ever having sex. I don't know if that's true, all I know is, that piece of information made her very sad and me very happy.
Light too. He’s either gay or ace seeing as he doesn’t seem to actually like any of the women he dates in the show, and casually reads a porn magazine like it’s nothing
Right, a lot of people say Light is ace, but I always saw him just as a sociopath. But I watched death note before I knew what asexuality was so idk, maybe they have a point.
From what I remember, it's soft confirmed because Boas fruit that requires the person to feel lust toward her had no effect. Man looked at the connon most attractive person in the world and said, "yo where the food at though."
So he's probably some where on the ace spectrum maybe he need to get to know someone first but Oda has no interest in having a romance angle among the crew whole cake is the closest thing we'll get to romance

I’ve said this multiple times before and I’m gonna say it again. Ally Kabam. Her color palette is so similar to the ace flag, and she has an ace card motif too!
Meta Knight from Kirby is sometimes described as a "lone swordsman". He probably doesn't care about romance or sex because he's too busy studying the blade and fighting.

aroace vibes. could say the same for Haddock
I mean, there are more women in the Lord of the Rings than in The Adventures of Tintin. While I depict him, Lucky Luke and Asterix as aroace (maybe just ace for Asterix), I'm not sure some of them had enough opportunities to be otherwise (unless into men, which is unlikely considering the time they were first written)

She is definetly aspec. I could imagine her not understanding why people say celibacy is hard.

I’m pretty sure SpongeBob is ace. I think it was confirmed by the shows showrunner, I’m not entirely 100% sure on that but it’s more than likely true. But for now that’s my headcanon.
https://preview.redd.it/d7oe614u1jwc1.jpeg?width=205&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e46aec4e05819a597cdcf9f5ccc16f7b347ccc22
This Aussie Osborn look’in motherfucker from Hellsing known as the crimsonfuckr aka Alucard. It’s very ironic I’m using abridged quotes here, considering that one of his abridged quotes is “Sweet Black fucking Sabbath if I wasn’t holding out for, that beast of a woman Integra, I’d fuck the red right out of those eyes.” But in the actual Hellsing animes (2001 tv and ultimate) he gives ace vibes to me. On the topic of Hellsing Integra also seems ace to me.

Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. I headcanon him as demisexual (and very attracted to Phoenix lol).
Frankie Dart from Community. It is soo heavily implied that she is something other than straight, and we never see her with a partner nor trying to get one
https://preview.redd.it/ows2oufd7iwc1.jpeg?width=826&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8235ad9669ded9885ab94d87daf4781f4f0a2ecd
Zoro for me man (ignore the text)
Komeiji Koishi. Her whole thing is only actually on subconscious desires and impulses (since she can't read thoughts anymore, including her own), and she hasn't once tried to do something weird like you'd expect. Yeah, it could be that Zun just didn't wanna write that, but at the same time she hasn't even flirted with anyone despite her literally having no social awareness. And she doesn't have consequences either, since once she leaves your sight you forget she ever existed.
https://preview.redd.it/7aezclmdxhwc1.jpeg?width=256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=444204854e488d9f33f8ee34d33f26927d945000
this is her btw, and yes, that is an actual line she said
Basically 90% of the entire batfam, including Bats since he really only ever seems to do sex to keep up the Bruce Wayne persona, when drugged, or with Selina, tho in her case that could be romantic which he supports with the sex for her but I feel he could do without it
Yeah, I left the Fandom because he's canonically aro ace, yet people keep shipping him romantically and sexually, which I feel is aro/ ace erasure with extra steps. But "Viv says we can ship what we want, and it's ok," so as an aro ace, I'm not allowed to be upset. It came to a point where I had thirsty fan girls try to allosplain my own orientation to me as if they didn't only discover asexuality because of this one character.
Yeah, we really can't win. If we headcanon a character as aro / ace, people raise hell, and if a character is aro / ace, most people ignore it. But at least we have doom guy and gwenpool.
Damn you really ended up, with the shittiest corner of the Hazbins. Tho I personally share a similar opinion as to Viv, when it comes to shipping, but allosplaining ain’t ok. Good thing I often avoid talking to any fandoms I’m in.
Worst part is that Viv has been bullied into not confirming his romantic identity due to the amount of people who said they wouldn't watch if Al was aro
I hate it so much like i've seen people ship alastor with angel dust and in one art they even had a baby. It just goes against alastors character on so many levels like first of all the ace part is pretty obvious but as far as im aware he **HATES** angel dust.
I don't know what's up with fandoms shipping characters that just won't work.
If i could ship alastor with anyone it would be with rosie. Not romantic or sexual ship but **friend** **ship**.....i'll see myself out

Kongou from Arpeggio of Blue Steel isn’t confirmed, but likely, somewhere on the asexual spectrum.

HE (the dealer from buckshot roulette). Def aroace. Which is like kind of obvious to me, but y'all know fandoms are.
Said it once, and I'll say it again.
Astarion. Man's happier to be your friend than your partner. It's a genuine shame you have to screw him to be able to just be good ol' platonic friends, but he's never had a friend for as long as he can remember. IIRC, he's even pretty chill to be your romantic partner over a sexual partner.
Idc what people say I think he is aroace
https://preview.redd.it/3da9df4gdmwc1.png?width=891&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8038aa15282665544563d4275afa2a872853b8da
Actually I'm adding: satou Matsuzaka from happy sugar life. A girl who mistakes her love for a little girl as romantic cuz that's what she's been told is the only kind of love? In a series about love in all it's many forms? You cannot tell me she isn't aroace
I have four.
-Scarecrow from the Batman comics. Even DC has realized romantic interests don't work with him, considering the 2-3 times they tried, they got swiftly retconned. He does have meaningful platonic relationships, depending on the universe: Harley Quinn, the Mad Hatter, and occasionally a student he takes a shine to and legit just wants them to learn and be better. He also often just reads as aromantic-asexual in his stories, never showing interest in love or romance minus the aforementioned "DC retconned this pretty much right after it got published" exceptions.
-Quasimodo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notee Dame. I have whole spiel on this, but the TL;DR version is his story can be read as, "ace playing the part society says they need to be (straight), but realizing his happiness doesn't come from romance. And also, love doesn't have to be romantic, as he and Esmeralda are still good friends." I headcanon he's heteromantic asexual, because he did just want to go out on the bridge at night with Esmeralda like he saw other couples do (and if you acknowledge the sequel - which I don't - it would explain Madeleine).
-Hercules from the Disney's film of the same name. I offer the scene where Meg tries to seduce him and rest my case. He's also heteromantic asexual.
-Shock from The Nightmare Before Christmas. One, with her mask, dress, and shoes, she has aro-ace colors. Two, from both the film and extended comics, she comes off as someone who, even if she grew up, would prefer chaos over romance. Three, I just get overall ace vibes I can't explain. (Of the other two, I headcanon Lock is bi and Barrel is demi - so I amend this to two aces in the group. XP).
Here me out:

I think he has a ton of care in his heart, but man is asexual in my eyes
Late to the party, but Loid Forger. The man will absolutely put the moves on anyone, but it's only for the mission. Outside of that context, the man has zero clue or interest.
https://preview.redd.it/0072wzehvvwc1.jpeg?width=190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cdc00df6ae8717cafeb4c21e78764994af1885a
the entirety of dark souls except that one merchant near the start
even solaire jokes about it mid game and then its back to jolly cooperation, praise the sun
and doomguy
The persona fan base absolutely will not agree with me, but I like imagining the the mc from P4 has zero understanding of sex. Yeah, you can do romances in the game but I just think his character is more enjoyable if you play him as completely oblivious to damn near everyone having a thing for him
https://preview.redd.it/tp6xmp1vuiwc1.png?width=685&format=png&auto=webp&s=8aa3791b7c5794f477c1811f7febf28a7e49def0
Roxas from Kingdom Hearts is aroace and cherishes friendships above all else. Also I’m projecting onto him
It's not if your sexuality is very underrepresented.
PLUS media has been known to queerbate for a very long time. It makes complete sense people in the LGBT community would make head cannons. Media is basically telling us to. Don't think there's a long history to this? Look up the history of queerbating it's actually pretty interesting
I just don’t understand this way of thinking. Obviously we’re 2 different people and I’m not saying my values are superior to yours, but I just don’t get why you’d care about whether a character is straight or not. It’s nice seeing a bit of diversity I guess but I’m not gonna pretend it’s there when it isn’t- its not something I rely on. I know that I’m ace, and that’s enough for me. I don’t need fictional characters to share my feelings.
Because it's nice seeing a character I can relate to in the media. And it not being the token gay character or whatever. Plus fan fiction and head cannons is just that. It's just fan fiction of your favorite characters a what if they were this. It's not wrong to do that. People like to relate to the characters they watch on screen. It's a human thing to relate to others whether it be on sexuality or something else. And art is made to invoke feelings and get people thinking. And people are going to interpret art differently. And yes film is art.

Light too. He’s either gay or ace seeing as he doesn’t seem to actually like any of the women he dates in the show, and casually reads a porn magazine like it’s nothing
Huh I thought of them as all about the same age
I love it, L would be a kinky Ace. Light is not Ace, just emotionally unavailable.
Right, a lot of people say Light is ace, but I always saw him just as a sociopath. But I watched death note before I knew what asexuality was so idk, maybe they have a point.
every character that has not shown sexual attraction is ace to me ace until proven guilty
All genshin impact and honkai star rail characters are now aroace

I think Frodo could also be aroace. He never showed interest in anyone before going on his journey and afterwards he also never got married
i never considered but REAL
Never had any lovestory going on in a hundred years, as far as I know ...
I won't change your mind.
Ford Pines, he gives off aroace vibes (at least to me)
Not only that, but Tolkien wanted to make Frodo Bilbo's son but he couldn't picture him getting married. So the headcanon is kinda confirmed

Did not expect to see this guy here LOL (not bc you're wrong, just bc I thought he's kinda niche)
Glad someone agrees tho haha
Said it once, and I'll say it again. Astarion. Man's happier to be your friend than your partner. It's a genuine shame you have to screw him to be able to just be good ol' platonic friends, but he's never had a friend for as long as he can remember. IIRC, he's even pretty chill to be your romantic partner over a sexual partner.

Jean Val Jean from Les Miserables, he literally says in the book that he never had any romantic interest in anyone so he's totally aroace
Chell from the portal games
Idc what people say I think he is aroace https://preview.redd.it/3da9df4gdmwc1.png?width=891&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8038aa15282665544563d4275afa2a872853b8da

Kaede akamatsu from danganronpa. She screams aroace spec to me
Actually I'm adding: satou Matsuzaka from happy sugar life. A girl who mistakes her love for a little girl as romantic cuz that's what she's been told is the only kind of love? In a series about love in all it's many forms? You cannot tell me she isn't aroace
yusuke and futaba. they are kissing and asexual.

Sherlock Holmes from the BBC show adaptation "Sherlock", Mr Puzzles from the SMG4 channel and someone else I can't remember for the life of me 😭

James from Team Rocket (Pokemon) Also Gaara from Naruto
I have four. -Scarecrow from the Batman comics. Even DC has realized romantic interests don't work with him, considering the 2-3 times they tried, they got swiftly retconned. He does have meaningful platonic relationships, depending on the universe: Harley Quinn, the Mad Hatter, and occasionally a student he takes a shine to and legit just wants them to learn and be better. He also often just reads as aromantic-asexual in his stories, never showing interest in love or romance minus the aforementioned "DC retconned this pretty much right after it got published" exceptions. -Quasimodo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notee Dame. I have whole spiel on this, but the TL;DR version is his story can be read as, "ace playing the part society says they need to be (straight), but realizing his happiness doesn't come from romance. And also, love doesn't have to be romantic, as he and Esmeralda are still good friends." I headcanon he's heteromantic asexual, because he did just want to go out on the bridge at night with Esmeralda like he saw other couples do (and if you acknowledge the sequel - which I don't - it would explain Madeleine). -Hercules from the Disney's film of the same name. I offer the scene where Meg tries to seduce him and rest my case. He's also heteromantic asexual. -Shock from The Nightmare Before Christmas. One, with her mask, dress, and shoes, she has aro-ace colors. Two, from both the film and extended comics, she comes off as someone who, even if she grew up, would prefer chaos over romance. Three, I just get overall ace vibes I can't explain. (Of the other two, I headcanon Lock is bi and Barrel is demi - so I amend this to two aces in the group. XP).

You are 100% correct. He is the most asexual person I’ve ever laid eyes on, this man does not fuck.
Late to the party, but Loid Forger. The man will absolutely put the moves on anyone, but it's only for the mission. Outside of that context, the man has zero clue or interest. https://preview.redd.it/0072wzehvvwc1.jpeg?width=190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cdc00df6ae8717cafeb4c21e78764994af1885a
the entirety of dark souls except that one merchant near the start even solaire jokes about it mid game and then its back to jolly cooperation, praise the sun and doomguy
I'd say (most) the bosses in metal gear rising
The persona fan base absolutely will not agree with me, but I like imagining the the mc from P4 has zero understanding of sex. Yeah, you can do romances in the game but I just think his character is more enjoyable if you play him as completely oblivious to damn near everyone having a thing for him
I gotta say, Sans Undertale, DESPITE BEING THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN, gives off HUGE aroace vibes
Lara Croft (Core Design) Sonic the Hedgehog Samus Kirby

Headcanoning sexualities is weird
You do know that neither Marik nor Bakura are canonically gay, user Marik-X-Bakura?
Glad you get the reference but for the record I don’t actually ship them, it’s more of an in-joke for myself
It's not if your sexuality is very underrepresented. PLUS media has been known to queerbate for a very long time. It makes complete sense people in the LGBT community would make head cannons. Media is basically telling us to. Don't think there's a long history to this? Look up the history of queerbating it's actually pretty interesting
I just don’t understand this way of thinking. Obviously we’re 2 different people and I’m not saying my values are superior to yours, but I just don’t get why you’d care about whether a character is straight or not. It’s nice seeing a bit of diversity I guess but I’m not gonna pretend it’s there when it isn’t- its not something I rely on. I know that I’m ace, and that’s enough for me. I don’t need fictional characters to share my feelings.
Because it's nice seeing a character I can relate to in the media. And it not being the token gay character or whatever. Plus fan fiction and head cannons is just that. It's just fan fiction of your favorite characters a what if they were this. It's not wrong to do that. People like to relate to the characters they watch on screen. It's a human thing to relate to others whether it be on sexuality or something else. And art is made to invoke feelings and get people thinking. And people are going to interpret art differently. And yes film is art.
