Creators and producers of the Harry Potter franchise and Game of Thrones series: We can’t enhance the actors eyes to match their character’s widely unnatural eye description because they won’t be able to emote and the audience won’t be able to connect.
David Tennant and the creators and producers of the Good Omens tv series: Hold my beer!
You know what makes me sad? There are not many canon parrings labeled as asexual but the existing ones are important.
One of them is Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens (at least in the book it was stated that they are both asexual as celestial beings). But many people see them as homosexual couple (even tho they are probably genderless or at least not male in our understanding). It kinda causes the asexual erasure which is hurtful.
And don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of homosexual parrings (as you can see in my previous posts) both canon and fanon.
I just think that every sexual minority has the right to have representation so when you label the asexual parring as homosexual it feels like denying us that right. And it’s sad.
A conclusive proof that the “ineffable husbands” are asexual.
In most allosexual parings you can clearly spot who is the top or who’s the bottom. Examples:
Tsoa: Patroclus has the top energy, Achilles is a bottom
Tsh: Francis is a top with Richard and a bottom with Charles
Merlin: Arthur thinks he’s a top but is a bottom
Hp: Sirius is a bottom, Remus is a top (although he feels like he shouldn’t)
GO: Anathema is a top, Newton is a bottom
You can’t tell who is which in case of Anthony Walking Anxiety Crowley and mr. Aziraphale Zira Fall. They are neither top nor bottom, their energy don’t match with it. Why? Because they are asexual.
I think it’s so important that Good Omens gives us not one but two significant characters who are asexual (cause what I understood was that the celestial beings are all asexual) but are different from each other.
We have an academic asexual, who reads books, has a bookshop, dresses smartly, spends days and nights reading if he finds something interesting.
And we have somebody who, for me, gives some dragoncore vibes, with their style, car and sunglasses (for me dragoncore is pretty important in the asexual culture).
I feel like asexual people can feel included thanks to that and have an actual representation with character differences, not just a plain person labeled asexual.
