Queerplatonic people!

I actually had this finished for valentines day, but I think it would be drowned out by scheduled posts if I did so now its a surprise aro awareness week drawing!

They're both aroace, Jake is a cis man and Cassidy is nonbinary.

LGBT rep in my novels

Brackish - EVERYONE LIVES story  - Basil and Cassidy are gay kinky guys   - Wendy is a lesbian who lives in a converted lighthouse and steals all Basil’s soda at his house - Robin is a trans girl - Pretty sure Alison is bi, it’s not really stated ‘cos she’s...high school and also everyone’s lil sis so it doesn’t really come up. (I...don’t remember her age.) The Elephants Always Come Back - Not everyone lives but the gays don’t die so there’s that - Boris and Fredrick are gay tailors in their 40s, plus they’re married - Mirza is panromantic and asexual - Sevan is aroace Cashmere - Not everyone lives but the gays do (Nikka and Toryn both get hella fucked up and hospitalized tho) - Toryn and Hadeon, even if they have a tumultuous relationship - Nikka is bi - Lydie and Alexia are lesbians Dominium - Douglas and Chester???  I don’t know what happens to them, what happened to this story tbh Double Double Witch Boy in Trouble (title pending) - No one’s gonna die in this story, it’s too fluffy tbh - Nolwen and Evander are gaaaaaay and cute witches The Hostile Credence - ...okay, I forgot, my living corpse character is gay and dies, but they’re...literally a living corpse even after death... (and would have died anyway from old age before THC took place had they not been killed and revived.) - Ewan is aroace - Lilian is ace, panromantic - Niven is gay - Seth is a lesbian - Bertina is Seth’s girlfriend at least for a short part of the story - Dunn is probably bi, maybe gay  - Nathan and Brycen are married - Tessa and Syra are lesbian dragon deities for which the entire story centers - Methla’s a lesbian - One of Ewan’s sisters is a lesbian, I fucking forgot which one since Nathan is the only sibling of his that shows up repeatedly Stargazers’ Hill - Yeah one gay character dies for crossing the main villain, but his murderer gets shot by a lesbian so there’s that? - Ambrose is pan, non-binary (he’s fine with he/him pronouns, he’s not fully aware of how to explain his dysphoria) - Thaddeus is bi - Evelyn is bi, but it’s really “lesbians and Ambrose” and Ambrose is nb sooo... - Avery is gay - Silas is gay - Eugene is gay - Gerard is gay - Cora is a lesbian - Adelaide is a lesbian - Malakai is bi - And though Irene married Grant, had a child with him, lost Grant when her son was a year old, and remarried to Glynn later... I am always going to OT3 Irene/Grant/Glynn because Grant and Glynn would’ve gotten along FINE...but all Thaddeus’ parents had to be dead or missing for the sake of the story whoops. But this isn’t in the story except that one time when:

“Yes, in your case, it does turn out,” said Marcy. “But that’s a different situation. Your fathers weren’t together.”            “I don’t think Mom would have minded if they had been,” said Thaddeus honestly. “If Mom could have been with them both at the same time, it would have made her happy, because she loved them both. And if they had loved each other, I’m sure that would have been even better for her.” Planetary Boundaries - No deaths of main characters, but there are deaths in like...sweeping tragedies, and that might affect one het pairing - Bianca is a lesbian - Andy and Lucinda are lesbians - Dion is gay but like...ace gay (I’m not done with figuring out all the characters, and quite a few are pretty young, so I don’t know yet) Xavier series (Perdition, Necropolis, Atonement, etc) - all Incubi and Succubi are omnisexual... in fact, all Angels and Devils are (minus Imps, who are always childlike in appearance, and Muses aren’t sexual at all but do fall in love, so omniromantic? I guess?)  - Xavier is ace (yes, he’s an Incubus) - Basically all non-human characters are omni, so you have Clarissa, Bernado, Eloise, Todd*, etc. - * Todd is an asexual trans Incubus - Zach is bi - Clarissa x Zach x Xavier is OT3, originally this wasn’t the intention but by Necropolis, I found out they were a poly ship and I am down with that (especially since Clarissa and Xavier used to be enemies kind of?) The Will of the Whispering - I have a poly ship with Lester x Nasaah x Mildred (but uh. Lester. Oops. I do him a big wrong, especially as the protag.)  - most of the characters are children, but Kahtte does grow up to marry a man, and Sylvia is a lesbian Casimir’s Library - I do kill off an entire city, and that includes some gay characters (though one of Barnaby’s fathers survives, and he doesn’t find out till later) - basically my characters end up orphans from this event, so every het, gay, lesbian suffers. Only four kids survive (Barnaby, Luca, Leander, and Felix). After this event, no one else dies.  - Flynn’s a lesbian  - Leander always struck me as a gay kid, but he’s...also a kid? Though I time skip to Barnaby’s future, and Barnaby has a wife and five children by then, so no reason to think Leander didn’t find a husband and settle down - Plus there are plenty of gay couples around the village the kids escape to It’s really bad that in these mostly gay rosters, I have to grimace at killing off any of them with the whole trope deal? And boy do I kill off a lot of characters NOT on this list.
