why would you ever think asexual characters would be boring like are you that centered around sex that you think people have no personality unless they’ve touched genitals with another person like oh boo hoo now you can’t masturbate to the thought of them having sex and you actually have to pay attention to them as a character cry me a fucking river and get over yourself

nothing makes a shipper angry faster than suggesting their fave is ace

Dragon Age asexual headcanons!

tedkordisanasshole:

Okay I’m feeling very ASEXUAL tonight so let’s do this! 😀 A combination of ace lis and ace heros here

Isabela being very sexual, but when Marian tells her sex makes her uncomfortable, they spend the night laughing, Isabela giving her massages to ease the aches, followed by tickles and falling asleep in each others arms, craving the intimacy

Touch-averse Fenris who is still learning to let Garret close, who can’t stand to be embraced and Garret reads to him, tell him stories. Fenris falling asleep to Garret’s steady breathing, snuggling as close as he can, to feel the warmth and safety

Cassandra loves to be wooed, the roses and poetry, but when Cadash kisses her forehead rather than lips, she honestly could not care less

When Bull brings Lavellan to his room, he can tell how nervous they are. After they talk, he makes sure to reassure them the sex is absolutely optional and then spends the rest of the night taking care of them emotionally, with a tenderness that brings tears to Lavellan’s eyes

Aroace Bethany who watched her sister fall in love, and it made her feel jealous without knowing my exactly. Consciously aroace Bethany who enjoys Sebastian flirting with her because she knows nothing will ever come of it

Asexual Leliana carding her hands through Surana’s hair, singing soft lullabies to make the nightmares go away. Leliana blushing as Surana holds her hand and hides her face

Anders and Garrett sitting on the roof, watching stars and telling stories. Garrett giving Anders massages, relieving his aching body, brushing his hair and Anders letting him shave him. Garrett holding him and rubbing his back when the nightmares him. Garrett getting him a new therapy cat

Dorian getting nervous when Lavellan refuses sex, thinking he’s refusing him as well and being relieved when that is not the case. Dorian reading to him at night, stories of great heroes and myths. Dorian massaging Lavellan’s fingers when they’re shaking too bad and Lavellan rubbing his hands when Dorian is too cold

Sebastian having lots of sex when he’s young, because that’s what everybody does, but feeling wrong about it, only finding out later that it’s not supposed to feel that way and realising he’s asexual

Sera caring more about the fun and mischief they get up to in Adaar’s bedroom that what happens in bed

Aroace Varric getting a huge kick out of having this as his author’s portrait and laughing every time he sees it

Asexual Carver blushing furiously when someone flirts with him, getting choked up. Proud asexual Carver learning how to flirt back, getting good at it, flirting with the other wardens, and actualy having fun

Asexual Josephine getting nervous about falling for Trevelyan, thinking that she’ll never return her feelings, because why would she, when she has so many better options than her? Trevelyan telling Josie about her feelings, being incredibly happy that Josie feels the same. Spending their time eating sweets, combing hair and playing cards, laughing and crying, exchanging soft kisses on cheeks

Asexual Merril travelling with Marian, telling her stories that Marethari taught her. Merril tracing freckles on Marian’s back, making shapes and Marian laughing

Aroace Morrigan having sex only as necessity, thinking it pointless, appreciating friendship with Brosca much more

Zevran being thrown off by Mahariel being asexual at first, but realising it was never only about sex anyway, but the intimacy. Zevran whispering sweet words before falling alseep, holding hands and writing awful poetry

Also honorary mention goes to Liara from Mass Effect because you can’t just dangle Asari in front of me like that and not make them asexual COME ON BIOWARE

Asexuality in Dragon Age

lady-eve:

I just realized that the lack of acceptance for asexuals is literally the dumbest thing.
Like, you can’t handle the thought of two dudes kissing? Okay you’re dumb and terrible whatever.
But you can’t handle the idea… Of someone… Not kissing anyone? What are you worried about? They’re gonna eat too much mac n cheese?? Draw too many dinosaurs??? Tell me

“We can’t use A in our acronyms because it allows shitty allies to weasel themselves in!”

Perhaps if the lgbtqia community prioritized and cared more about ASEXUALS than about straight allies, we wouldn’t have this problem.

The A is not for allies. It has never been for allies. The A is for aces. Do not rob actual members of the lgbtqia community of the little representation we have for the sake of fucking straight people. 

The A is fucking necessary.

smug reminder that salarians are canonically asexual and that even if they are weird bugeyed amphibious aliens, they’re OUR weird bugeyed amphibious aliens and you can’t have them

I’m pretty sure salarians are aromantic, not asexual. They negotiate breeding contracts, after all.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, though.

I really thought it would take longer than 23 notes for someone to jump in with “NO THEY R NOT !!!!”

Hey, in-game codex, what are your exact words on the subject?

Due to their method of reproduction, salarians have no concept of romantic love, sexual attraction, or the biological impulses and social rituals that complicate human lives. Male-female relationships are rare (due to the scarcity of females) and more akin to human friendship.

THAT SOUNDS A LOT TO ME LIKE THEY’RE AROMANTIC ASEXUALS

Also, remember that salarians are a haplodiploid species, and that the majority of salarians come from unfertilized eggs, and thus, the majority of male salarians will never enter a breeding contract, and thus, won’t ever engage in sexual reproduction. Which, I remind you, is a solemn process of laying eggs in a pool of water and something that would not be even remotely arousing to any but a very small group of fetishists, whom I have never encountered, even on the internet, and I’m only just assuming the existence of, despite the fact that I’ve never seen proof, and I’ve got no desire to look for the small corner of people on the internet who get off to watching frogs lay eggs.
