I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

I don’t think allo people understand: you get everyone else. Almost every single fictional character is allo. Every character that exists is allo until proven aro/ace/aroace. So on that rare occasion when we actually get representation, and when it’s genuinely good representation, please just let us have it. Many allo people are respectful, and I thank them for that, but it’s impossible to ignore the massive problem in fandom culture of downplaying the importance of, or even downright erasing, an aro/ace/aroace characters’ identities. Aro characters are shipped all the time, which is fine if you understand the nuances of the identity and see that it is a complex thing to be aromantic, but I see a lot of people who don’t, and think that they can say ‘oh but aro people can date’ as an excuse to ship a character. This happens with ace characters too, they are sexualised in fandom all the time (I’m not talking about any characters specifically, but I’ll tag a few who come to mind). Again, this is understandable if you understand, but if you are sexualising an asexual character just because you find them hot or just for the sake of it, surely you understand why we are upset. This is not me trying to pick a fight, I’m just an aroace who is frustrated. 
You guys get everyone else. Just let us have the few who we see ourselves in. 
#and this is why i seethe when i see people try to ship Riz Gukgak! canonically asexual (and aro!)#like. allos looooove to pull the 'but but they could be alloromantic-' when a character is confirmed ace#where they pointedly forget MOST ALLOS use 'asexual' to mean aroace. when a creator/author says 'oh yeah this character is asexual'#they have - in MOST CASES!! - meant it as 'this character is aroace'. they just don't know our terms that well#and like. when Riz's fear is EXPLICITLY CALLED a 'romance partner'. which was to express the fear he had as a (confirmed!!!) asexual...#like. c'mon guys. i know reading comprehension is a skill people lack most days. but this. this is driving me up the wall#and i saw some dismiss Riz's asexuality because 'uhhh it was confirmed outside of lore!!'#no it wasn't!!! Brennan was EXPLAINING who Baron was to a cast that didn't know about them. and explained that Baron was-#-created due to Riz's fear and insecurity due to his asexuality. Brennan used the label explicitly OUTSIDE of the narrative to EXPLAIN-#-the narrative of the story and WHY Baron was frightening and made to be so! you got ALL THE CLUES in the story itself that Riz is aroace-#-BY THE STORY ITSELF! the story itself goes to GREAT LENGTHS to show Riz being aroace. they just don't use the LABELS explicitly#and in that situation it wouldn't have made sense. even though Pok more or less SPELLS IT OUT without saying the label. because RIZ hadn't#but he shouldn't need to. Murph shouldn't need to look in the camera and go 'Riz's greatest fear is being abandoned because hes aroace'#it's. urgh. reading comprehension doesn't exist i guess :/#or. rather. doesn't exist when it comes to a-spec identities :/#like. fun fact about fantasy high! the ONLY people who have DIRECT labels are Kristen and Ragh. everybody else? nope#like. nobody else has to state their fucking labels to be valid. but Riz has to. ugh. Riz is aroace#he's aroace and he doesn't want a romantic/sexual partner! he just wants his friends and family! stop devaluing his story!#his whole experience in Sylvare was LITERALLY HIM BEING CONFIDENT THAT HIS FRIENDS LOVED HIM. that they WOULDN'T abandon him!#urgh. URGH!

anakins questionable flying is an ongoing gag and all but honestly just imagine it. he, aged 9, won his freedom that way. everything good that happened in his life proceeding was because he happened to be a good enough flyer that he beat out actual grown professionals with biological advantage. hes reasonably confident, in fact, its probably just about the only skillset hes still confident in after going to monk school and skipping every grade due to one very persuasive guy dubbing him "universe's very special little boy". like im not pointing fingers here but maybe hed be normal if they sent him to making macaroni art class at some point before taking up the "heres how to stab people and throw things with your mind" class. but anyway, back to flying, coruscant presumably has some rules regarding that, even for jedi. i dont give a shit if its not canon, you cant take space flyer's licence from me. i need the mental image of anakin and obi-wan experiencing the emotional whiplash of being in a car with your anxious dad bc yes anakin reasonably thinks hes hot shit behind the wheel but hes also notoriously a death race survivor & his driving style is best summarised as "get from point a to point b as fast as possible. disregard what happens to you. disregard what happens to others. there is only you and point b and the possibility of exploding. make your mother proud" which now that i think about it is also his whole life philosophy. so i think he sits behind the wheel with full confidence & his many neuroses loaded and ready and obi-wan also sits in the passenger seat with full confidence because while hes not exactly the leading expert in anakin lore due to his passion for shoving his head in the sand and pretending he Does Not See, he probably remembers that there was a podrace victory involved and expects this to be very simple. it is, clearly, canonically, not simple. but heroically obi-wan still lets him be the pilot every time for the rest of their time together because 1) hes chronically a passenger princess 2) his love language is putting anakin into situations he can then nag him about and 3) his own self preservation is clearly slowly whittling away. on the other hand, anakin's love language is initially going "im so sorry are you okay" the first time obi-wan starts screaming and then as he gets more attached to him progressing to hitting the sgas (space gas) pedal even harder out of pure malice the moment he as much as hears a whimper
