Lynx Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Antimony from Gunnerkrigg Court is so heavily implied to be aro (no romantic interest so far and awkwardness around potential partners, her fear of losing her friends to their romantic partners) that I'm honestly not sure if it's headcanon or straight up canon any more. I might cry if the comic eventually pairs her up unless she goes through some typical aro problems with it. Katniss Everdeen also seems like a pretty solid aroace. I know there's some stuff that seemingly contradicts that, but... does it really? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sovereign of viridiplantae Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 man i love me some aromantic dean winchester i also think dr. house from house m.d. shouldve been aro but they put him with cuddy and i am So Mad summer from rick and morty strikes me as an aro kinda chick. and rick is def requiesromantic kyoya from ouran high school host club? aro. 100% sebastian from black butler? also aro. 110% and ciel too. but ciel is also ace where seb is more like... gray-pansexual i think alejandro from total drama (aka... my bae) shouldve been aro but since the writers decided to stick him with heather for some reason (smh) i guess i'll just have to say grayromantic jake english from homestuck seems p aromantic to me but like.... romance-positive, so he's cool with being in romantic relationships. john egbert? also aromantic. maybe romance-neutral??? and for some reason ive always associated nepeta with aromanticism even though she's got a big thing for karkat. perhaps it's just the presence of the color green. idk light yagami and L from death note are both aroace eren jeager? aro. so aro. the red guy from dont hug me im scared, even. i just get aro vibes from him dont ask me why wow i have so many im sorry u guys 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager is aro/ace. And I have more Star Trek headcanons. A lot of them.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven't seen the films, so I don't really understand your comment - I understand they decided they needed more of a ~love story~ to sell the films? Seems ironic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not romantic in the books. But you can feel the healing, and its realistic. In the movie, there is this cheesy lighting, like its some Kitschy Countryside Life photo shoot for some perfume advert and as far as I remember, she narrates it as well. Its just out of place. There is no arch, just bamm, there you go, they live the happy settled life? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally headcanon him as ace/aro, and I think the writers meant for him to be like that too, but as far as I know, no one actually says "asexual" or "aromantic" in canon. Same with Data from TNG. I also kinda think of Captain Janeway as ace/aro, or maybe demi, because she pointedly never has any relationships with anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he isn't interested in sex, and finds it like low key gross. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Shi'ar Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Well of course he wouldn't say it, aro/ace isn't that well known term. Since his species doesn't reproduce sexually nor do they usually form romantic relationships, it's understandable that he his naturally aro/ace, even if he didn't know the terms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omitef Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Lord Vetinari from The Discworld Series, because he never experiences any romantic feelings/interest in anyone, and when he talks about women, it's in a strictly political context. He isn't particularly emotionally close to any individual either, except for his dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still gotta read more about him, but my squish really wants me to finish the Night Watch series, so I'm reading that first. Death is really funny! And Vimes gets cooler the more you get to know him. But my heart will always belong to the Luggage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Luggage is amazing, the amount of expression Terry can put into an object with no face is so good! And yeah you really gotta read the night watch stuff its brilliant. Going postal and making money are two of my favourites :3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confirmed Bachelor Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 First I admit I've seen Frozen. I notice everyone makes a big deal about Elsa but I actually saw Kristoff as aromantic. He seemed pretty content just living his life with Sven and didn't seem to have any romantic inclinations toward Anna. They of course ruin it in the end though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChillaKilla Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Aro ace Rey FTW! Frisk from Undertale is aromantic Isabelle from Animal Crossing is an asexual demiromantic I also agree with Kaylee from Firefly being aro/bi too. I can see her as FWB with Simon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
