Aroace - Blog Posts
smh, since when have we started to gatekeep the lgbtq+ community. it's sad, honestly
Trying to prove a point
REBLOG IF YOU THINK AROACE / aro/ ace PEOPLE ARE A VALID PART OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY , LIKE IF YOU DON’T
Holding aro/ace Cale Henituse and never letting him go because I can't be the only one who feels aggravated when I compliment someones appearance and everyone jokes about how I want to bang them.
I'm a firm believer he likes pretty faces not people.
___
KRS 18 y.o: she's pretty
Coworker: you like her? You need to ask her to go out!
KRS: no????
___
KRS 21 y.o: he's handsome, don't you think?
CJS: yeah, I don't know, he's not my type, you should try talk to him tho
KRS: ???why would I do that
WOW!! Two posts in a day, that's crazy
Anyways here's some pins I painted plus a keychain, the shark one is my favorite 😍 💓
The original posts asked a specific group withing the LGBTQ+ community (A-Spec people*) what their reaction is when a Bad Bitch/Mf compliments them. The various options of facial expressions are posted below.
(it's good to note that even if people in the A-Spec community don't express a large amount for the feeling that I will explain below, many still like/try to reciprocate or experience these feelings in their relationships)
(also good to note that A-Spec people are a VERY misrepresented or conversely Unrepresented group when people think of the LGBTQ+ com. Ace people make up a large portion of the LGBTQ+ which is sometimes lengthened to include them as the A in LGBTQIA+, where the A stands for Asexual and the I for Intersex)
*A-Spec or Ace Spectrum people are a large group of people who defer from the norm of relating on various levels as seen in mainstream society:
(yapfest incoming)
Such as:
Ace/Asexual - Not enjoying, thinking about or having feelings of or about sex.
Aro/Aromantic - Ace but replace sex with 'romance' (imo as an aro person, romance is a subjective term)
AroAce - A person who is both Aromantic and Asexual
Demi/Demisexual - A person who likes (or prefers) to express sexual feelings AFTER establishing an innate emotional connection with their partner
Demiromantic - Demisexual but we again replace sex with romance
Greyromantic - (as explained by Google) " a term that is used to describe people who feel a limited or uncertain romantic attraction to others. Some Greyromantics may feel a strong emotional connection with others but do not desire romantic relationships, while others may feel a weak romantic attraction to some people but not all."
Hopefully I understood you're question correctly, anything else? 😊
A-SPEC PEOPLE
transmasc aroace sukuna
Transmasc aroace Sukuna who doesn't need to be taught about love.
He knows what love is; it just doesn't serve him to to him, "Love is meaningless."
also I think that this can be doubled down with my headcanon that before he was a curse; he literally wasn't loved by anyone.
born in a world that wasn't ready to accept him and wouldn't love him anyways because he killed his mother with his birth
Transmasc Sukuna who gave himself the perfect body which coincidentally is the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery, he doesn't have to think about himself from before he was turned into a curse because now he's The Strongest Sorcerer (in History)
Transmasc Sukuna who decorates his body with thick black tattoos that many people find scary and taboo but he sees it as more of a 'fuck you' to tradition*
*(the people who killed him/the higher ups/the conservative fossils who couldn't find it in their hearts to even TRY to love him even if it would still be meaningless to him)
Transmasc aroace Sukuna who has kept one person with him throughout all the thousand years he's been a cursed object: Uraume
I believe since it hasn't, and it's not going to be explained in the manga/anime:
Uraume is his non-binary, aroace follower.
He keeps them around for a few reasons
1. Cooking: his favorite hobby is eating. It's good to have a personal chef on your side.
2. To do the tedious menial tasks that come with causing chaos everywhere. Not sure what they are specifically but I know they're there.
3. Uraume helps keep pests at bay. Telling them to fuck off and out of Sukuna's personal space when he feels the itch to get rid of an annoying eyesore.
4. Back-up fighter: self-explanatory

aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna Guys this is the culmination of a bunch of headcanons running amuck in my brain and also the character analysis' from @thepersonperson
So now, here are my hc's for AroAce!Sukuna:
Legitimately prefers to not be touched and appreciates respect for personal space (round of applause for Uraume*)
Hobbies,:
1. Fighting - self explanatory: he hates being bored, he also uses fighting as a way to bond and learn about others
2. Eating - confirmed in the official fanbook(iirc): it doesn't matter if it's people or Oreos, he enjoys food
3. Analysing literature/opponents fighting habits - It's explained better and in more detail by @thepersonperson, but the main take-away is that Sukuna is like a shark; using exploratory 'bites' in order to gain knowledge about things- his opponents. He uses used dismantle to take apart, to dissect his opponents, to learn how they'll react and if they can match his freak, so to speak.
3.5. Going back to the literature point - seeing as in history, the Heian era is considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court, it's noted for it's refinement in art, poetry and literature.
He gets annoyed, disgusted, bored, and all of the above when someone hits on him, seeks him out romantically or tries to use/touch him physically.
See: Yorozu when she's withing a 1 mile radius of Sukuna, Mahito after touching his soul, Kenjaku's weird obsession with him that led to him jumping his twins bones for some reason
Again, as dutifully (<3) explained by the aforementioned Tumblr User, Sukuna expressed affection through violence. This is the only way he is able to connect with anyone he seems worth his time to fight.
Being a curse that is legitimately perfect when it comes to CE and CTs, he reaches out from the top to grasp some sort of worthy interaction:
an entire half year of prep to fight Gojo,
'playing' with Jogo and making an effort to fight with him on his terms,
finding interest and potential in Megumi,
a yap fest of unwarranted appraisal to Maki
and he was basically all grins and smiles when he fought each of these sorcerers.
*Star next to Uraume because I hc that they're Ace-spec as well.
Cuz who else is better at telling people you don't want to be bothered, touched or talked to other than you fanatic worshipper who understands your boundaries clear and concisely?
Tirade over, I'm going to sleep.

I'm aroace which means I'm attracted to the prayer room idk I feel like I don't want to be a specialist in the subject...
What in the... Isn't this low-key blasphemous but like in a 'no offence but' kinda way
I'm asexual which means I'm attracted to the exit.
Well...I mean...accurate?
Does any one know: A man who defies the world of bl?
I haven't really watched the live action version but I have read the manga and I have to say I do not agree with how people interpret Mob's character.
This could be that they watched the live action and I read the manga but whatever.
When I read this it reminds me ALOT of Saiki K, from the wacky situations to the MC. A lot of people say that it's a story of a guy denying his homosexuality. I personally think that he is simply the most aroace character I have ever seen (other than maybe Saiki and Senku from Dr stone)
Sure, he says he straight but we don't see him try to find a girl or even get a crush on a girl. And on the other side, he sometimes says a man is handsome to describe how a BL situation might happen. 'A handsome man like that guy is definitely a MC' kind of thing. But I don't even remember him blushing from a dude and I just reread it all. He doesn't seem flustered when the guy who sat next to him obviously liked him, like always he was annoyed and somewhat confused.
He is in love with food and cats which in my opinion is a very aroace thing to do (from a aroace person) He basically manipulates the people around him to make sure they don't fall for him or make a 'flag'. When Ayato's friend confessed to him, he chased after him to reject him (this is after not getting flustered or even flattered at all, if anything he was panicking because he couldn't see a way out of it) and when he couldn't catch up created a elaborate scheme to make the boy fall in love with another highschooler. That is the aroace life style.
(Also he's definitely autistic)
You know what, for most queer people, I think hell in Hazbin Hotel would be a step up then what we live in now. People are openly gay, bi, and pan and gender roles are basically non existent. I mean, just look at the situation with Moxie and his dad in season 2 of Helluva Boss. His dad tried to force him into a marriage with another dude. Sure he was being homophobic with his language but that's usually a situation where women are put in the media. And besides Moxies dad and Katie Killjoy in the pilot I don't think there's much homophobia. It's normal for the princess of hell to have a girlfriend. It's normal for some of the two richest overlords to be in a situationship. It's normal for Asmodeus to be queer (even if they are racist to Imps).
Hells still got it's problems of course, that being the basically slave trade. Too many demons own too many other demons souls is all I'm saying. However, in general I think being queer is a lot easier unless you are aroace. Or specifically asexual.
I'm ace so maybe Im projecting but personally I think this gives me more insight.
Being ace is still a minority in hell. In fact Alastor is the only character confirmed. there's not even a side character who's ace. And guess what, being asexual in hell is very similar in hell, if not worse, to earth. Everything is incredibly sexualized. I'm pretty sure technology, weapons, and porn are the biggest things in hell (very like on earth if i may). People fuck in the street or in open windows, there's just porn playing on public TVs and if the scene in Helluva Boss when Moxie is trying to sing a wholesome song to Millie and everyone hates on it, wanting it to be sexual, means anything then even romance without the lust is not appreciated. (I know this was in the lust ring but let's be honest do you think there's any difference between there and the pride ring?) Allosexuals can get uncomfortable with this kind of stuff to but imagine being an asexual? Especially a sex repulsed asexual! It would being a living hell. I know it is actually hell but no one else would feel that out of place so why do the asexuals have to?
I'm not mad or anything, actually it's how i'd imagine hell to be, but it's just something I noted. Asexuals are still a minority and I think id feel just as i do on earth, out of place. I mean, a world where sex and lust are the norm, that's earth.
ITS ANOTHER LIST OF HAZBIN HOTEL FIC RECOMMENDATIONS! Specifically Alastor fics. I don't really read anything else. Also yet again, Platonic/ Non Ship fics. (All on AO3)
For the Hotels Sake by ThatMissedBullet
https://archiveofourown.org/works/50784673?view_adult=true
Alastor is actually being a good friend to Angel after a bad night.
Soft and Platonic Angel and Al. Very fluffy with angst.
When the Morningstar Take Action by Charlie_W_Hawthorn
One of my favorite Alastor Angst writers! I love all their fics.
So, this one is kinda an AU of if Lucifer was a bad person and had a really big grudge against Alastor. He's a real jerk throughout the whole thing.
Everyone gets protective of Al and I love it even if he doesn't. I 100% recommend. There's a sequel that's still updating too.
Of romance and whatnot by DasIchigo
https://archiveofourown.org/works/53899156
This is one about Al's Aroace-ness. Angel and Charlie ask if he and Rosie are dating. Spoiler Alert the answer is no.
Love, I'm Just A Sinner, I Can't Be A Savior by HellTeaAndBiscuits
This one is ANGSTY and has a lot of nonconsensual touching. Some of the gang learn about the deal Al made and how he's treated. BAD Lilith in this one.
Here's my first list:
HAPPY LATE VALENTINES!
I present to you a comic of Hazbin Hotel to you in honor of Aromantic Spectrum week!!
(this took me far too long 😭, also, why is Al's legs so hard to draw wtf)
Aro week folks!!
I just wanted to say happy early Valentine's to all my fellow Aromantics and Aces! We can make it through this one with our pure 'don't touch me' vibes.
I believe in us!!
So I know it can be hard to find aroace Alastor and Alastor/ platonic relationships content. But I have put together a list of Al bonding with the others platonically. (All are on AO3)
Escaped By A Hair by PurpleArrowandLeather
Alastor's retreat to lick his wounds nearly costs him his life. Thankfully, Charlie is worried enough to go looking for him.
Post Season One
Mother, Dearest by WritingSoupBowl
In Episode 6 instead of having a meeting Adam tries to kill Charlie and Vaggie. Trying to escape, they run into Al's mother.
You've Got A Face for Radio by ckret12
This one is specifically about how Alastor is Aroace and I love it.
"He's never wanted sex. He's never wanted love. He's never seen a problem with this.
It's taken about a century, but he's pleasantly surprised to discover that the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with his perspective."
Staff Infection by ItAllStartedWithANightFuryLovingGirl
This one is adorable. Everyone gets sick and Al won't admit he needs rest.
To Make A Skirt by another_athena
This has to be one of my favorites in this list and it's longer. It focuses on Al and Angel a lot. It's incredibly clear that Alastor is Aroace in this one and I love it. Also boys wearing feminine clothes together. It's just adorable and it has some angst.
In sum: Angel is bored so Al teaches him how to sew.
(I love touch-averse Alastor so much)
Good Friends To the Second End by Neo_followthe whiterabbit
More platonic Al and Angel. It has a coming out scene with Al too and that's pretty good.
I love these two being friends.
Okay, those are all for now but I was wondering if anyone had any like these? I love reading stuff like these
I found a new thing that absolutely gets on my nerves.
I was scrolling through the Alastor Aroace tag as you do and I keep seeing people say things like, 'if he's Aroace then why so fruity' or 'how can he be Aroace if he acts like this' referencing to the fact that he is eccentric and silly.
All I can think is, um, why is that important, like at all? I was already annoyed by the fact that people just say someone is gay simply because they act a certain way, that is both offensive to gay people and puts people in boxes, but now it's grown to be more than a frustration.
I mean, do people not see how freaking offensive that is? And it seems as if it's genuine sometimes and even if it's not it's not a funny joke.
What do you mean you don't think he can't be Aroace cause he kicks his feet and drops his wrist? That has nothing to do with sexual or romantic orientation! It's so... It makes me feel like him being Aroace is just a joke to them. That it's more of a silly note the author made than real representation.
Do these people not realize we can see things and that we exist? That, maybe, not every character you find fun and attractive is a gay man?
I just saw a Tiktok where it's like, 'I think he wants a man,' to that one scene of kicking his feet and it pissed me off.
Anyways, I just needed to say that.
This is the most I've posted ever but I love him ❤️
Okay, so I wanted to discuss the situation with Alastor, his canonical sexuality, and fans.
I have seen the two sides alot.
So one side ships Al with numerous characters and sees this as casual fun.
And the other thinks this is disrespectful cause he is ace, or Aroace.
(I believe that he is Aroace. His va said so, his character has shown no interest in romance, and Viv may have confirmed it at some point)
Now, I am sex repulsed ace and I'm aro. And I have strong opinions. Alastor is my favorite character in Hazbin Hotel, he is also the FIRST confirmed ace character I've seen. (This doesn't include subtly implied characters) Because Al is the first and I care for him he is very important to me.
My opinion is really mixed because on one side it's; yeah, it is a fandom, and fandoms ship. It's what they do. Its also kind a rude to judge someone for their favorite pairings and stuff, in my opinion.
On the other side though I'm hurt. I am a queer person with basically no rep. And I hadn't realized how upset I was by this until I saw discourse over this character. I had FORGOTTEN that it was possible to have confirmed canonical ace characters. I had gotten so used to that just being a head cannon. And not only just an ace character but also an Aroace character. And not just that but a seemingly non sex favorable ace character. I would even argue he is sex repulsed.
My real problem with all this is:
Yes, I KNOW ace characters can have sex. But do you know who else can? Literally every single allosexual character. I KNOW aros can date. But you know who else can? Everyone else. The appeal of ACTUALLY having characters with the same sexuality as me is that they would be like me. Cause I and other aces like me never, ever get stories like that. So many times in media I would be enjoying a character who had shown NO interest in sex/romance and would suddenly be partnered up with another just for the heck of it. This has happened SO many times it's not even funny. It's incredibly frustrating.
So, the point I'm trying to make is that; YES, there are aces who have sex. HOWEVER, a large number of us do not. And it's like everyone forgets that. Your not writing Alastor having sex with Angel cause your showing the vast spectrum of asexuality. Your most likely writing it cause it's sex between two hot characters. It's simply maddening.
(One thing I wanted to say was, despite the fact that Al is ace i don't think it's bad to find him attractive. He is very pleasing to look at so I understand allos finding him hot. However I'm not sure where I stand with people sexualizing him. I think I'm leaning towards, 'please don't do it'.)
Now, the worst thing though is when I'm looking for content to enjoy. When I found out Al was canonically ace I was so happy and excited. I'm pretty sure this situation wouldn't make me nearly as frustrated if it weren't for the overwhelming amount of sexual content for Al. Some would be fine. I could just scroll past it if this were the case. But it is not. Content for Al is MOSTLY sexual. That's why I don't believe people when they keep saying they aren't invalidating aces because almost every time I go looking for a fic I have to scroll for HOURS just to find few non ship fics.
I can't even use the Asexual Alastor tag because all that does is bring me to a bunch of fics where the author is like 'he's ace trust me,' then proceeds to write smut.
Why can't I even use a tag made for aces without being drowned in smut. It's so frustrating! Like I'm getting to a point where I wish the authors would stop using the tag and openly admit they made him not ace for the story. Like I know your trying to not throw away his canonical sexuality but I mean at this point I think it'd be better if you did. And if someone is going to write sex favorable ace Al then please leave it to the aces. I trust us to at least weave it into his character instead of stating it and acting like it's there when it's not.
So basically: I don't mind if you ship him, just don't say he's ace or Aroace if your neither of those in ship/smut content. I'm sick of trying to find content that isn't sex/romance in Aroace tags!
I don't want to judge people for liking a ship. But I'm really tired.
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I would love to see content with Al and Lucifer. Like them hating each other to like frenemies. It would be so funny.
Anyone have any platonic content with Al and the rest of the cast???
(Ace/Aro/Aroace community when Alastor is confirmed Ace after years of having little to no representation)
To the rest of the queer community:
Yep, we do exist. We just don't have too much to talk about.
But seriously, since season one of Hazbin Hotel came out and it's been mentioned in the show that Alastor is ace I've seen more Aroace communication than in the last two years.
I kinda forgot that we could have real representation at all let alone my favorite character in my new hyperfixation. It came as a shock.
My LGBTQ Identities
No one probably cares, but i just want to say this somewhere lol.
I am genderfree, genderblank, schrodigender, and blankboy. I am also aroace, bellusromantic, gay, androromantic, and ambiamorous.
I use they/it/he; in order of preference.
My chosen names are Malachyt, Rayn, and Cerberus.
Have a nice day/night/afternoon/morning! :)
