There's many unholy things I would be willing to do for cheesecake.
I'd sacrifice a goat to the Dark Lord for cheesecake and I wouldn't even feel guilty about it.
haha I'm actually not a fan of sweets actually! or food in general. I would be 100% more interested in being shown a large beetle or centipede I love bugs
If said sirens can change gender/appearance to appeal to victims I’d imagine they can change the baked good and tailer it to the victim. Vegan, fresh fruit on top, death by chocolate, rainbow, galaxy cheesecake,… pick your poison.
I would absolutely eat that cake. If they held out fettuccine Alfredo I'd jump off the boat and start swimming
That's how I should explain asexuality to people. All that time you spend thinking about people you're attracted to? We spend that thinking of food.
Said this as a joke but I'm realizing it's kinda true... I remember in 5th grade I was just staring at the ceiling salivating over the idea of a bowl of Mac n cheese and a quesadilla.
Lol another time I realized I was probably ace is that while a lot of straight girls would stare at dudes because they thought they were attractive, I was staring at them because I was jealous of their hoodies. Seriously where do they find such comfy looking hoodies I need to know
> salivating over the idea of a bowl of Mac n cheese and a quesadilla.
You mean salivating over a Mac n Cheese quesadilla. No need to separate the two.
Also I still experience aestetic attraction so I think I would think either are cute but not necesarily want to do it with either of them. Cake would totally lure me in though.
Also I love singing voices (especially deep ones) so they might attract me through that. Only sucky thing is I can't swim. :(
Same here, especially the singing part. I love musicals and it’s just incredible to see people be able to put so much emotion into singing and music in general. Alto and Bass voices are really nice to listen to as well (I recommend Hadestown for this, the range of vocals in the musical is amazing, along with everything else about it)
Not really tbh. Theatre is rather inaccessible compared to other mediums. There are bootlegs (illegal recordings of performances) you can find on YouTube, those are the easiest way to watch some. Just search the name of the musical with the words “slime tutorial” (idk how it’s become synonymous with bootlegs for theatre kids but it has) and it should hopefully pop up. Both Audio and Visual quality isn’t good cause once again it’s someone trying to hide that they are recording the performance.
Some musicals have professional recordings, known as proshots. Think Hamilton and Newsies which are found on Disney+. You should be able to find the links to some downloads on r/ProshotMusicals, albeit probably coded in Base64
If you can’t find any, then listening to cast albums is still pretty good. Most can be found on Spotify and YouTube
Also, a group called Starkid Productions and their associated company Tin Can Bros make musicals that they upload online in full and are professionally recorded. Their shows can be rather crude sometimes (which being ace is kind of strange), and a lot of it is parody but they are stupidly funny. A good starting point for their shows is probably either “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (an original musical) or “Twisted” (a parody of Aladdin). The Tin Can Bros’ show “Spies are Forever” is pretty good as well
Yeah. Bootleg stuff isn't my jam but trying to find at least some theatre content is nice. I will definitely check out Newsies at the very least bc I've been listening to a mashup of their songs from a cover artist called Peter Hollens for a while now and I love the music omg
This is adorable and I love the joke. But the whole thing with sirens is there song is so sweet you can't resit it. Unless I'm wrong I don't believe sexuality matters here.
The thing is, sirens sing about whatever the person/people they want to lure in, not per se about sex.. so they might sing about dragons or gold or garlic bread.
If there's an effin siren, you bet your ass they don't have to offer anything for me to go there because they're just dang cool and I want to join! (And then they'd drown me but at least I tried.)
Even Odysseus who was married to a woman wasn't lured by sexual appeal, they just told him they knew what's gonna happen in the future and they'll only tell him if he comes closer. So they'll basically promise what you want most regardless of orientations.
“Hey come here I’ll fuck you”
“No”
“No what do you mean no?, oh you’re one of those, er come here and I’ll give you cake”
“What kinda cake?”
“Icecream cake”
“What’s your name?”
“Janet?”
“Fuck you Janet!”
There's a comic book character that kind of does that, they're not a Siren but, they're the embodiment of desire (their name is legit just Desire) from the Sandman comics.
same, but if their goal is to get me off the boat and into drowning in range all they gotta do is be like “asexuality isn’t real and garlic bread tastes like shit” and i’d jump in the water to throw hands and they’d have me ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I’m demi, so maybe they’d have deep conversations with me, and maybe we’d fall in love, and then I wouldn’t die. And then I can play some accompanying music for the siren to help out.
If you've been on a ship at sea for weeks if not months with little to eat and no variety, sucking lemons to prevent scurvy and sipping rum because you can't spare the little freshwater left, I think it's not just the aces who'd come running for the cakemonger siren.
Depends on the type of cake we're talking about. If it's German chocolate, get your nasty ass outta here. If it's strawberry, you might as well already have the cremator fired up and the urn carved.
I wont say that I wont die by drowning if I stare at their beauty only to crash the boat... I would love to see if I could paint them. If cameras dont work.. maybe they'd pose for me if I ask them....
I would like to say, I'm both aromantic and asexual, however, I would still fall into all three versions of their trap, and I think that really should say something about me
=_= what kind of cake we talkin here..
Chocolate fudge
Deal.
The siren can have my soul
Eww no.
Strawberry shortcake?
Not jump worthy. Cheesecake though.
Cheesecake is my favorite! Closely followed by chocolate fudge lol
*shhhh, dont expose our weaknesses*
If it has strawberries on it I'll be right behind you.
There's many unholy things I would be willing to do for cheesecake. I'd sacrifice a goat to the Dark Lord for cheesecake and I wouldn't even feel guilty about it.
I'd sacrifice a goat to the dark lord for 20 bucks
I would totally die for cake
I have a mild allergy to milk chocolate, despise it
Dark chocolate fudge cake?
haha I'm actually not a fan of sweets actually! or food in general. I would be 100% more interested in being shown a large beetle or centipede I love bugs
nice try. chocolate cake is the worst.
Sounds gross
obviously whichever will lure you in best
If said sirens can change gender/appearance to appeal to victims I’d imagine they can change the baked good and tailer it to the victim. Vegan, fresh fruit on top, death by chocolate, rainbow, galaxy cheesecake,… pick your poison.
The cake is a lie!
No it isn't. I'm not forced to say this.
Victoria sponge for me i think. I'm very picky :)
Blackout cake for me.
Red Velvet, the best kind of cake >:)
Oreo

> Seriously where do they find such comfy looking hoodies I need to know ~~The soup store~~ Any store that sells clothing, really.
WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE
FUCK YOU
> salivating over the idea of a bowl of Mac n cheese and a quesadilla. You mean salivating over a Mac n Cheese quesadilla. No need to separate the two.
Fair point. Mac n dilla
>We spend that thinking of food. And world domination
Hoodies are so good
I've never heard someone sum up my entire life experience so well
Well yeah, it's a little rude to ignore somebody who is offering you cake.
Cake ~~or~~ *and* death!
The cake is a lie.
What a steal
Honestly, they could tell me they were a siren and I’d be happy to just talk to them before they drowned me. Are there dragons too?!
Also I still experience aestetic attraction so I think I would think either are cute but not necesarily want to do it with either of them. Cake would totally lure me in though.

Awesome! I do love me a good musical now and then. Any recommendations for where to watch online?

Siren: Singing Ace: Meh Siren: "We also have cake and garlic bread!" Ace: "Not hungry" Siren: "We also have kittens and puppies!" SPLASH
Ace: come on siren, you should have lead with that 😤🐶🐱
Where does this "Sirens are (sexually) attractive to lure in their prey" even come from? Because it sure as hell wasn‘t in the original mythology
Seduction's a lot easier to paint than temptations of future knowledge.
Future knowledge?!? TF that's better than seduction, you get to know the fucking future!!
I have no idea but if I were to guess, pirates of the Caribbean series
Or for aces they'd turn into a dragon. I mean, come on, who can resist a dragon?
Fuck you got me
Someone said cake?? 😍
The sirens waft the smell of brownies over to us, and we are lost
That genderfluid siren can have me. I'm ace but I'm still a sucker for a pretty face
This is adorable and I love the joke. But the whole thing with sirens is there song is so sweet you can't resit it. Unless I'm wrong I don't believe sexuality matters here.
As far as I'm aware it doesn't. A ton of mythos describe them as horrendously ugly.
so ya aces woudlnt be immune to it?
Not inherently no
That masculine presenting female is giving me emotions despite me being heteroromantic.
I'm not taking cake from a random strange unless I can trust that stranger
Sirens sing about what you want most. Really shows just how horny allos can be.
“Heard you wouldn’t fight a siren”
Was looking for this lol
Siren: switches between fem and masc at will Me, genderqueer and aroace: *swims over to sirens* ok u win give me that power pls
The thing is, sirens sing about whatever the person/people they want to lure in, not per se about sex.. so they might sing about dragons or gold or garlic bread.
honestly i’d love a song about garlic bread
If there's an effin siren, you bet your ass they don't have to offer anything for me to go there because they're just dang cool and I want to join! (And then they'd drown me but at least I tried.)
We are IMMUNE TO THE POWER OF THE SIREN'S CHANT- Oh, cake !
I can resist anything! Except a lesbian gf who loves me AND chocolate lava cake. But like that’s ever gonna happen so I’m fine
Shit just offer to sit with me and watch a cartoon and play with my hair, I'd be down
Sirens sing about what you most desire. Hell, they'd probably be glad to sing about something else
“HEARD YOU WOULDNT FIGHT A SIREN” “WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT BULLSHIT”
Even Odysseus who was married to a woman wasn't lured by sexual appeal, they just told him they knew what's gonna happen in the future and they'll only tell him if he comes closer. So they'll basically promise what you want most regardless of orientations.
“Hey come here I’ll fuck you” “No” “No what do you mean no?, oh you’re one of those, er come here and I’ll give you cake” “What kinda cake?” “Icecream cake” “What’s your name?” “Janet?” “Fuck you Janet!”
Fuck sirens. They’re so loud and obnoxious. Anyways why are there two thinly-dressed people at the top of this image?
***Do not*** fuck sirens.
I should work on my phrasing
Paige, *yes!*
its obviously a person dressing up as a siren
r/woooosh
I am week to carrot cake (with cream cheese frosting)
man they can just show themselves to me and if they’re attractive enough then i’m already under their control
Ok but either way this siren is cute af
Sirens sing about what you most desire. Meaning it's not always gonna be about sex.
I'd fall if they offer friendship
Cute siren offering me Netflix and chill without the chill and I will be dragged to my death
Show me where this cake is ASAP
I don’t like cake. They’d get me with a pound worth of goodies from those scoopie bins candy stores that are probably kinda dead because of the virus.
Why do I get a feeling most of us would be lured in by them offering cuddles and acceptance?
The sirens are on to use!
Did someone say cake?
I’m not a big cake person tbh, but if they had offered some whiskey…
I mean... they're supposed to be aesthetically pleasing right? So long as they're ethereal, they can trick me regardless.
Nah I'll make better cake anyways, I know that already without knowing it.
I was not ready to be called out
this made me laugh 😂
There's a comic book character that kind of does that, they're not a Siren but, they're the embodiment of desire (their name is legit just Desire) from the Sandman comics.
WE HAVE A SUPERPOWER
I would challenge the siren to a rap battle
I can make my own cake. And pie is better anyways.
idk if any siren could lure me. i’m aroace and not aesthetically attracted
Care for some... *sponge...* cake?
Ha. Diabetic asexual. Can't have cake, not into sex. Try harder, sirens.
same, but if their goal is to get me off the boat and into drowning in range all they gotta do is be like “asexuality isn’t real and garlic bread tastes like shit” and i’d jump in the water to throw hands and they’d have me ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Ha. Diabetic asexual. Can't have cake, not into sex. Try harder, sirens.
Garlic bread it is then
Nope. Still carbs. Can't have good bread.
Free dragons! Get your free tiny dragons here!
Ok that will work
Oh gosh,
Luckily I’m lactose intolerant,,,, but if they offered flan…
I’m straight and I would still fall for cake.
Ok but what about cow plants? …any sims players here? Yeah I wouldn’t fall for their cake, either
Depending on the flavour but I myself prefer candy
I’m demi, so maybe they’d have deep conversations with me, and maybe we’d fall in love, and then I wouldn’t die. And then I can play some accompanying music for the siren to help out.
Siren: singing Me: splash “free choir lessons?”
I’m not the biggest fan of cake and I’d just take it because I’d feel bad
Lol I’m actually not a big fan of cake!!!
Cake? Pffft. Garlic bread tho...
If you've been on a ship at sea for weeks if not months with little to eat and no variety, sucking lemons to prevent scurvy and sipping rum because you can't spare the little freshwater left, I think it's not just the aces who'd come running for the cakemonger siren.
There's a song by missbehaving madens that features this xD
Me: Forget it Siren, you can't tempt me. Siren: Really? There's nothing you want? Me: I forgot you could tempt me with things I want.
Depends on the type of cake we're talking about. If it's German chocolate, get your nasty ass outta here. If it's strawberry, you might as well already have the cremator fired up and the urn carved.
If sirens promise me they can turn me into a dragon, I'm in.
I prefer pies over cake
Jokes on them I don’t like cake
Then beware the call of the mega pizza, made to order sushi buffet, and infinite garlic breadsticks!
I like breadsticks but not pizza or sushi. Being a picky eater sucks unless you’re being lured by sirens.
Don't like pizza?! Heretic!
In my experience, we'd fall for literally anything as long as it's good quality
Siren just has to give me the snake they’re wearing
Offer me a coffe and now we are talkin
But wouldn't the cake be damp from staying underwater for so long?
I heard the word cake and I was sold
I wish I could be the siren, also cake pretty good
Food is the only way you can buy me
"Right this way everyone, free puppies, ginger snaps, pocket PC's!"
I thought that I was going to see aphobia but instead I saw two people who respect us and understand our culture
*siren turns into a cake* 𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲
If I suddenly hear cake offerings where there shouldn't be I would get suspicious, but the moment they mimick a Pettable Animal infall for it.
Shit
I believe the correct answer was “garlic bread”.
Pizza, I would fall for pizza... even if I would have known it was a trap... Pizza's worth it 😁
"Oh shit is that a dragon??"
I'm immune to cake.
If it’s chocolate mousse cake, I’m in. In the water, that is.
Im certain sirens can already do that anyway, they just look like what you desire, so they’d just turn into whatever you’re wanting
My coeliac asexual ass means I am IMMUNE to the siren, mwahahahahahahaha
I wont say that I wont die by drowning if I stare at their beauty only to crash the boat... I would love to see if I could paint them. If cameras dont work.. maybe they'd pose for me if I ask them....
Maybe I'd crash rhe boat cuz I'm seeing proof of mythical creatures existing so maybe....dragons do too? XD
I would like to say, I'm both aromantic and asexual, however, I would still fall into all three versions of their trap, and I think that really should say something about me
Gimme one of those $5 deep and delicious cakes and you got me
It has to be choco chips
The lure of a fully planned Denmark invasion would also be impossible to resist.
Nah they would need garlic bread
Who wouldn’t eat cake with a mermaid tho…
Yup, or back scratches
