Ace Visibility Day

Published:
5.3K Views

Description

Today is Ace Visibility Day! The idea is that people who identify somewhere along the asexual spectrum post photos/graphics of ace playing cards with the suits the represent their orientation. Originally, I was just going to whip up a quick Chanel for that. But then I actually realized that I have an ace character for each suit along the spectrum (in all different stories, mind you). So, I ended up going all out.  ^_^ 

Just a little disclaimer that these characters do not represent every asexual person. They represent themselves, and simply happen to be asexual.

***

Let's go counter-clockwise from black to purple (to go through the flag in proper order):

Abel (from Shangri-La)
Ace of Spades - Represents Aromantic Asexuals, or one who - in addition to not experiencing sexual attraction - does not experience romantic attraction. (Although, one can be aromantic without being asexual, and vice versa).

Amanda (from Lavender)
Ace of Diamonds - Represents Demisexuals (who only experience sexual attraction if a strong emotional bond is established) and Gray Asexuals (who only experience sexual attraction very rarely).

In Amanda's case specifically, she would be demisexual.

Garry (from Something Dark)
Ace of Clubs - Represents questioning asexuals, who are aware they fall on the ace spectrum, but are not sure where.

Chanel (from Rain)
Ace of Hearts - Represents alloromantic asexuals, who despite the lack of sexual attraction, can experience romantic attraction (including, but not limited to, heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, and panromantic).

In Chanel's case specifically, she would be homoromantic.

***

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. Happy Ace Visibility Day to you all! I will be posting my own suit a little bit later too!  :D

Huh... Didn't really know that this was a thing...

*tilts head*

Demisexual... Must look into further, that sounds not unlike me.
