I had a dream that I bought a pack of cards with only aces in it so whenever I was asked about my sexuality I could could just whip one of them out and uncomfortably fast walk out of there.
Moral of story: I can actually make my dreams come true for less than $9
SO, YOU’RE 13 YEARS OLD AND YOU READ THE WORD “ASEXUAL” ON TUMBLR AND NOW YOU THINK YOU ARE ASEXUAL?? That’s amazing, i’m happy for you, it’s wonderful that you found the word so early, there are so many people who spent years feeling broken and wish they learned about asexuality earlier, also keep in mind that your feelings are valid, no matter if they might change on day, you are important and precious and i got your back, little friend.
Okay but let’s talk about Jean Valjean for a second, because he’s so often overlooked. I definitely head canon him as Asexual and Aromantic but look how much love he has for the world – like agape altruistic love, familial and platonic love and just… He doesn’t have romantic or sexual relations in the brick and that’s okay, like he doesn’t have to. There are other forms of loving and it just makes me very happy to see a character like him. He loves Cosette and Fantine fiercely, he loves the people he protects, he grows to love Marius, he love everyone he works with, he is kind to strangers and the poor and even frickin Montparnasse and even offers love towards Jarvert in that he bears him no ill will. I just love that ace Valjean. *heart eyes emoji* 😍
the purple and green represent ace, aro, nb and nd people. the circle in the middle represents a black hole, hence the lack of humanity/dehumanization. the white represents the unity of our communities.
Day 3: A character you see as grey-a or demisexual
Jean Valjean // Les Misérables
❝With the exception of Cosette, that is to say, with the exception of a childhood, Jean Valjean had never, in the whole of his long life, known anything of that which may be loved. The passions and loves which succeed each other had not produced in him those successive green growths, tender green or dark green, which can be seen in foliage which passes through the winter and in men who pass fifty.❞
are ACE and ARO people part of the LGBTQ community?
Yes yes yes!
You are welcomed and loved

transcription:
“So, there’s been this big debate lately, are aro and ace people part of the LGBTQ movement? are asexual, and aromantic, and some other people, under our umbrella?
And the answer is: YES. OF COURSE. YOU ARE.
OF COURSE. YOU ARE. WELCOME.
Of course! And there are two things to remember with that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the community, YES: if you want to be.
Right?
I am not ace, I am not aro, and so it’s not up to me to decide who I want to work with, and who I want to align with.
But if it’s up to ME – I’m genderfluid – YES, we need to do work together, and we need to band together, and of course you’re part of my community!
The, the… the other thing to remember is, this is not a battle of ‘gay people versus everybody else,’ or ‘trans people versus everybody else,’ this is that, like, insular, we’re-better-than-you, heteronormative, like, homophobic, like, regular people that’s in every movie, every ad, every single bit of culture, and has been dominant for so many years….
being dismantled. [laughs]
Which makes me happy.
And of course we all need to work together to do that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the LGBTQIAA+ community? Yeah. Of course they are. It’s a big tent. It’s a big umbrella. Let’s work together.”
