If we're making aromantic trend today I have to bring forward the first aroace rep I knew.
Roshanna Chatterji in the movement comics!
(Yes she only says asexual but from context it's clear she means aroace)
The Movement follows a group of teens (early 20s I think a couple) fighting back against police corruption in their area, unfortunately there's only 13 issues.
But Roshanna has been seen in last years (possibly year before) pride comic in the corner of group shots and did get a page in DCs big book of pride so she's not completely forgotten.
Other members of the group are also queer or from other marginalised communities.
TW for sexual assault, abliesm, homophobia and religious trauma.

Happy Queer Media Monday!
Today: The Movement from DC Comics
Inclusive superhero group done right.
(The team sitting over their city at the end of the first story arc. From left to right: Vengeance Moth, Burden, Katharsis, Virtue, Tremor and Mouse.)
The Movement is a 12 issue comic book series published in 2013 and 2014 by DC Comics as part of The New 52. It is probably best known on Tumblr for featuring the heroine Tremor, who is canonically asexual, but it has so, so much more to offer.
The Movement is a group of disenfranchised teenagers in Coral City, led by Holly Ann Fields aka Virtue. The series can be kind of divided into three story arcs: Their fight against the corrupted police (issue 1-8), Batgirl visiting (issue 9-10), and Burden’s fight against his brother (issue 11-12).
Superheroes being used as a metaphor for oppressed groups is nothing new, but what makes The Movement special is that they really are an incredibly diverse group, featuring many different identities. We have:
Virtue / Holly Ann Fields, who is a Black lesbian,
Tremor / Roshanna Chatterji, an asexual Indian immigrant,
Mouse / Jayden Revell, who could be argued to have an intellectual disability, though nothing concrete is actually said,
Katharsis / Kulap Vilaysack, a Laotian immigrant,
Burden / Christopher, who is gay,
Vengeance Moth / Drew Fisher, a former addict and wheelchair user with muscular dystrophy
Here is an article from when the series launched, where the creator discusses the politics of it, and a lengthy one written at the end of its run about how it championed diversity in the superhero comic medium.
Here are the Wikipedia and DC fandom wiki articles about the series.
Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
#thought I could get away with this during#disabled pride month#not because it has a disabled queer character#but because it has a team that does both the queer and disabled members justice#SUCH. A. GOOD.

Andrea Shea: I'm so proud of this story and so grateful to everyone involved in its telling, because "hey y'all said LGBTQIA+ and it would be really meaningful to see that A" was something that stuck with me after #DCPride 2021. Tremor totally rocks, but Connor felt like unfinished business.

LGBTQIA+ characters in Comics
These are characters who have first appeared or been revealed as LGBTQIA+ over the last year, or whom I’ve recently learned about or whom I hadn’t mentioned in previous posts of this type (that is, on my old blog). Needless to say, this list is just as highly arbitrary and incomplete as the others.
(Yeah, I know DC Comics isn't the only game in town, but for the time being it's the only one I regularly read, so...)
DC Comics
Shining Knight (Ystin) - non-binary
Tremor (Roshanna Chatterji) - asexual
Sylvan "Syl" Ortega - gay
the Aerie - non-binary & Wink - queer
Image Comics
The Old Guard
Yusuf "Joe" Al-Kaysani - gay
Nicolò "Nicky" di Genova - gay
Noriko - unspecified
Andromache of Scythia - unspecified, probably bisexual
Continuing the tradition from my old blog (which has been unceremoniously deleted by tumblr without much of an explanation why) I’m doing daily posts during June to celebrate LGBTQIA+ pride by showcasing openly LGBTQIA+ celebrities and various content about or created by LGBTQIA+ people such as music videos, characters on TV shows, movie trailers, …

I'm sorry about everything that's been happening, you don't deserve it. I have no idea where they're even getting you supposedly being a terf from tho, because as a trans person that's been following you for probably a year now (?? I think) I've always gotten the opposite vibes, but then again we've already seen reading really isn't their strongsuit lmao
I do have a question/situation that I wanted to get your opinion on. About two years I wrote a couple fics in which I wrote Tim as aro. I was genuinely thrilled when they made him bi but as a result I feel kind of weird about those works now tbh. I mostly wrote them because I myself am aro and wanted to like, idk create more aro stories out there I guess and also project some feelings lmao and as there aren't... well, any canon aros within dc (as far as I'm aware), I just picked someone. However, I'm worried that if I wanted to write something again now it'd appear biphobic, when the last thing I want to do is erase the representation DC is slowly starting to give us. I know you are not like, the authority on sexuality or whatever, but as you are bi I would like to hear your opinion regardless (if you're feeling up to it rn).
Either way, sending hugs and support for you <3
(Also sorry if my tone is off I'm not a native speaker + I'm tired, I hope it's clear that I genuinely mean no harm)
Thank you for your support <3 gonna go under the cut so I can cover everything but
IMO, there isn't anything wrong with having written fics of Tim being ace a couple of years ago? A load of people read him as ace for decades, just like how people read him as bi! He's always felt very LGBTQ.
It would be a different thing writing it now, though? If that makes sense? Like he is bisexual (hasn't explicitly said it in comics but has been confirmed by creators) now, rather than before, where he never had an explicitly stated sexuality.
There are a few canon asexuals in DC though! Connor Hawke is the most recent example (he had a story in this year's Pride anthology).
The Pride special also confirmed that Querl Dox of the Legion of Superheroes is asexual! It was a very underrated thing that people didn't talk about enough but also of course I would say that the Legion are my angels who can do no wrong and deserve literally everything good in this world.
Roshanna Chatterji, from the N52 book "The Movement" might be one of the only other comic characters at DC to explicitly say they're asexual?
Legends of Tomorrow also added an original character, Spooner, to the team who is asexual, but I haven't watched that so I don't want to speak on its quality in portraying an asexual character.
Those are the only explicitly stated to be asexual DC characters that I can remember right now but there some indie comics that have ace characters, like Archie, Sleepless and Lumberjanes
#q & a#at marvel i think there's nadia van dyne (def got confirmed by the writer but icr if it's ever said on panel)#also your tone was very nice <3

Anyway on a fun lighter note here's some canonically asexual (and a couple aromantic) characters.
DC
Connor Hawke - Confirmed in comics last year, also confirmed to be alloromantic.
Roshanna Chatterji - Confirmed ace in "The movement" comics, also implied aro due to context.
Spooner - Confirmed in episode 10 season 7 (If I remember right) of Legends of tomorrow, also implied aro due to context.
Star Wars
Vernestra Rwoh - Confirmed aroace by Justina Ireland, there was also a line in book implying.
Leox Gyasi - Lines in book and I'm assuming from the article Claudia Gray expanded somewhere.
Vi Moradi - Elizabeth Schaefer explained that it was Delilah S. Dawsons idea
Sola Nabberie- Confirmed by E.K Johnson implied in book
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Implied bi (or pan) and/or araoce in Padawan
Other TV shows
Abbi in the impefects - Said in episode one and mentioned again later
Florence in sex education - Haven't watched it but heard the clip
Todd in Bojack Horseman - Same again
Marvel
Gwenpoole - technically the words haven't been said but apparently she's been seen with an ace flag during marvel voices pride
Nadia Van Dyne (my favourite) - Confirmed aroace and quorioromantic on twitter by Unstoppable Wasp writer Jeremy Whitley, also apparently by Sam Maggs but I haven't seen that.
And last but not least Yelena Belova - Confirmed by Devin Grayson because you should not be able to take back confirming an identity.
Also heavily implied throughout "Pale Little Spider"

Fun story, this. After I reblogged yesterday that art of Tremor, complaining that there isn’t nearly as much of it as I would like, I realized that it is actually perfectly within my power to change this.
So, here is my own Roshanna Chatterji appreciation drawing.

Asexuals in Comics:
Walter Kovacs (Rorschach): DC Comics his mother abused him so now he hates woman and sex. (I hate this)
Roshanna Chatterji (Tremor): DC Comics. The Movement V1 #10 she literally said she's Ace.
Yelena Belova (Black Widow): Marvel Comics. she didn't directly say she was ace but she said 'I'm not....anything' when asked if she was a lesbian..... and I'm taking it as ace/aroace because we got nothing
Nadia van Dyne (Wasp): Marvel Comics. she is said not be interested in 'Teenager stuff' like kissing boys' and the writer says that she was written asexual but not said directly on panel.
Jughead Jones: Archie Comics. He loves food more than relationships and it's said in the comics.
And I can already hear it 'but what about [robot or alien]' ..... No❤ I love Venom but no.
So we have 'literal piece of shit', 'Who?', 'maybe?', 'it's was implied' and 'we're not going to carry this over to the show'
