#detroit evolution spoilers
Can I be hopeful and tell myself that Detroit Evolution gave me the ace Nines I’ve always wanted?
Like from the way he talks about falling in love with someone during the scene in the car and the ending scene where he expresses his disappointment at not being “complete” or being able to give Gavin what he thinks he needs. It struck a chord with me. Reminded me of myself.
Even if that’s not the case, and it’s not symbolic but purely face value android stuff, I still love it. I love that Gavin reassures Nines that it’s ok, and that he loves him for him.
My heart.It’s 100% intentional my dear. I am glad you felt seen! I - the writer/director - am asexual, so it was written from that experience of self doubt and journey through the asexual discovery process.
I just wanna say- thank you. As a fellow ace- It was really refreshing to see an ace character that was ace- but not completely sex-repulsed. The sex-positive and sex-indifferent side of the ace community honestly gets so little representation that for years, despite knowing I was ace, I felt broken, even within my own community.
Nines didn’t seem grossed out or even completely disinterested in that aspect of the relationship, he knew he was lacking and he admitted to never feeling that way for someone, and that’s just- so damn relieving. I spent at least an hour just- being relieved that Nines was ace, but in a way that didn’t make me feel broken either. And Gavin’s reassurance was something so many people needed to hear, and proof that people don’t always need that in relationships is so- so nice.
Thank you so much for this- all of you. Sending all the virtual hugs!
