Holmbo Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I begun yesterday to look at the scenes I've been suggested. I don't have enough of them to make for a whole piece yet, I discarded some of the suggestions cause the scenes where to hard to get without context. So far I got: Sex and the city, bloom into you, The Good Place and Loveless. So I'm happy to take suggestions for other scenes to include. Something that gives you Aro vibes for a character These are the previous videos I made: Aromantic moments Aromantic moments part 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sorry, I can't seem to think of any clips. Most of the aro examples I can think of are from books, and thatäs harder to clip. And even though I am currently reading a huge bookseries about nothing but aromantic asexuals, there are no real single moments that I can put down as an aro moment, if that makes sense. If everyone around you is ace-aro, it's no big deal, you know? So I don't have clips in mind, though I feel like I should have, with the backlog of things I have seen throughout my life. I think the system for accessing things out of my memory is kind of inefficient x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not I'll do some kind of scroll by of the text. But yeah it can be difficult to find something that works out of context. Especially if the book really isn't about the aromanticism.

nonmerci Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I started to watch the show Miraculous. The show in itself is very romantic, but Plagg is such an aro mood sometimes. In season 1 episode 10 (at minute 6:00), he says he doesn't understand how Adrien can be in love with Lady Bug even if he doesn't know who she is, and when Adrien answers that he doesn't understand love, Plagg says he does because he loves camembert or something like that. I've just seen this episode and think about your video, maybe it can work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apathetic Echidna Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I just watched a youtube thing called Cinema Therapy and they have one on Aragorn, and oh, all the no romo feels! I'd forgotten LOTR was so good. The death of Boromir would be a good one to include in your moments video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv_KAnY5XNQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not watched LotR since I learned about aromanticism. For the Aro video I'm looking for people who have some aro or aeospec vibes. But I'm also collecting clips for a broader themed video of relationship diversity. So I'm putting the death scene on the list for that one. Together with scenes from Amelia and Sense8.

nonmerci Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I saw you're still looking for things, so I like to suggest some things from Todd in Bojack Horseman. I think it is official that the character is allo ace, but there are scenes that make me think he coud be on the grey area of aromanticism. In particular, the episode 2 of season 3, when Emily asked him who is his crush and he answers he doesn't have one, before invented one as she insists (it is at 2:35, just after the intro). There is also the first time he speaks about his orientation at loud, but I think it is more ace oriented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there are so few characters that are allo ace. Fewer than Aro ace I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Depends if you call your video "aro moments" or "aspec moments" I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to call it aromantic moments. Maybe I'll ask around a bit online before I post it. Then I could also ask what people think about including a scene from the big bang theory. There's one that I think has huge aro mood, but the writing of that show is so problematic that it might sour that scene for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Oh yes, Big bang theory. I headcanon Sheldon as demiromantic asexual, but I can understand why this character upset people... in particular, I still remember this scene when he says he was broken and Amy cured him, I wanted to scream at my computer.

Holmbo Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yeah such a wasted opportunity to do something fresh with the portrayal of relationships. Why not have them be asexual and in a romantic relationship? There's plenty of humour to be had there, with defying their friends expectations and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I asked on aro ace Reddit forum about including Todd and got no objections. Although one poster said they didn't like him as representation cause he's dumb. I've not watched it like I said but I feel like a dumb character would be good representation since there are already many smart aro characters who "don't care about feelings". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the fear of groups that have been seen as less intelligent of being represented by someone who is canonically dumb but I don't think that is a problem for aromanticism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgi Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) I've found this on Facebook (from Lucifer, season 5, ep. 9)... however, I haven't watched this series so I'm not sure what's going on, but maybe it helps? Later edit: I'm not sure whether it refers to romantic love or love in general now that I think more of it ;))) Edited May 29, 2021 by Georgi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I don't think it is a problem. Plus Todd is not even an idiot (or at least, not that much), more than he lives in his own world. And even if he has some dumb ideas, he is also kind, always ready to help other, and very creative. A character doesn't have to be perfect to be a representation. A sterotype of the aromantic would probably be the guy to intelligent to care about feeling, so I guess a dumb character as aro would not hurt. @GeorgiI never watched Lucifer neither but I think it is not the first time I see someone talks about this possibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try reddit again to see perhaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
