I need to talk about Cash Piggott and how important his character is to the asexual community.
I absolutely adore the fact that Cash calls people out on their acephobia and never, ever apologises for who he is. He doesn't think he's broken.
In season one, we see Darren say "you know what, I think there's something really fucking wrong with you, Cash," and Cash immediately, with no hesitation, screams "well fuck you then".
In season two, we see Dusty say that he's being selfish asking Darren to give up sex and he immediately stands up and says "fuck this" because he knows he doesn't have to listen to people making him feel bad about his sexuality.
And when he's talking to his nan about it, Cash says "it's not fair, I would do anything, why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"
In every single one of these scenes, we never see Heartbreak High blame Cash for his sexuality. We never see him apologise to anyone for not feeling sexual attraction, and we never see him feel guilty about it, or try to change who he is.
CA$H recognises that his sexuality might be difficult for people to accept and understand, but he never lets other people make him feel like he's broken, or flawed. And that's so powerful to see.
Because asexual people are not broken. And we can't be fixed. And we are not being selfish for putting in boundaries.
I absolutely adore Douglas Piggott. He means the world to me, and this representation is so, so important.
The scene where she freaks out because everything is changing so fast
Keeping herself alive until the others can find her after being bitten by a venomous snake
Refusing to mask for several days just to show her friends (Darren especially) just how much different she is when not pretending even a bit
I love that her favorite books made a reappearance, special interests are so important
Everything with the school captain debate because of course she knows everyone at the school and her calling Sasha and Spider out was perfect
The little moments with her and Cash at the zoo (I'm an autistic Cash truther)
Her wanting to find Bird Psycho because she feels like that's the one thing she can do for Amerie
And she does
Queen of B&E
Asking Sasha to be her vice captain and Sasha thinking Quinni wants to get back together
Honestly I think working together might help Sasha understand Quinni a bit more and then I could see their relationship working out better this time if they do give it another go
Okay I don’t want to hear a single person ever say again that having representation is too much on a TV show or not realistic because heartbreak high had autistic representation, lesbian representation,  non-binary representation, asexual representation, Aboriginal representation, and Asian representation all in one show and not for one fucking second did I think this is unrealistic, especially in a Sydney based school. That is exactly what kids are like and is exactly what real life is like!!!!!
