Re: Why smoking?

So you're so addicted to nicotine that it's become like sexuality to you. Got it.

Never smoked, but yeah sure. Smoking and hypersexualizing ace characters both "drops me right out of the story". Way to miss the point.

Which canonically ace characters do you see getting hypersexualized? In my experience, this doesn't actually happen. Perhaps only because very few canonically ace characters actually exist, but still.

NAYRT - I would also like to know this (mostly just to know of some ace characters out there tbh).

Two ace characters I've recently found:

- Jughead Jones (Archie Comics): recently confirmed to be asexual

- Maya (Borderlands): writer Anthony Burch describes her as "asexual in [his] mind"

Yessssssssssssss. I haven't caught up with Archie comics in a while, but this pleases me immensely. I know everyone loves their GSM headcanons, but Jughead is literally the only character I feel I could ever look at and go, "Yah, he's ace."
