an ace-spec take on kanej

long time no grishaverse post… allow me a moment to express my thoughts on kanej because they are so dear to me and i never had the right way to explain

as an ace-spec person i find kanej to be so nice and so moving especially given how popular they are among fans. i love how leigh gives them room to breathe and learn their boundaries and never has them magically become ‘fixed’.

personally i don’t feel like kanej ever needs to come to a point where they fit the standard of what relationships ‘should’ be. i love how their emotional reliance and understanding of each other pushes them to be better, and how they still see themselves of worthy of love despite it not being stereotypical.

all this to say i think it’s a fairly common ace experience to feel that there is something wrong with you. whether you feel romantic or sexual attraction or not does not equal your worthiness of love. there are many kinds of people on this earth and you are not alone in your experiences

i’ve never seen someone comment on the ace aspects of kanej (this could be because i have not been engaging with the fandom for a bit) so i figured i would throw my two cents out there and hope maybe this hits home for some or introduces others to a different way of looking at some beloved characters!

kanej is great because they are independent and beautiful characters with so much life to them. their relationship is a part of who they are and their arc towards true healing and i would love to see more ace-spec content about them :)

edit: just realized i never really posted any grishaverse content on my side blog! if you’re interested in an old timer haha you can find my work on @cinno
