*sobbing* He’s so gorgeous! Just beautiful😭

OH HES FUCKING SMILING IM SO COOKED.

God it’s such a uniquely Ghost fan experience to be excited to see your frontman’s lips move for the first time.

Aroace who's extremely confused by their tertiary attraction call that a disoriented aroace

Aroace Alastor

Hoo boy here we go- This one might make some people mad at me, so I'll preface by saying I do not want to start a fight and as long as you respect my business, I'll respect yours. But let's get this over with-

First off, I genuinely don't understand how some people can see the Ace-In-The-Hole quote and still believe that Alastor is only intended to be asexual and not also aromantic. Yes, the term Rosie used for purpose of the pun was 'ace', but can we look at the context of that moment before jumping to conclusions?

Rosie, motioning to Charlie: "Oh, who's this you brought with you? Come now, Alastor, she's much too young for you! Oh, I'm just kidding. I know you're an ace in the hole!"

Her original statement implies nothing sexual, only that he's involved in a relationship with Charlie, and she follows it up with why she knows that couldn't be because he's an 'ace in the hole'. I don't think you have to read too far between the lines to see that.

I would also like to say that when Vivienne has spoken about his orientation before, I recall her saying that she didn't want to confirm him being aromantic so that she wouldn't 'ruin anyone's fun', which I just feel like is an odd thing to say if she wasn't already explicitly picturing him as aroace. If she thought he had romantic attraction, why wouldn't she just say that? What fun would that ruin? I also feel like keeping things like this ambiguous just to appease the shippers is a little weird, but I digress-

And to those of you who I know are saying "But aromantic people can be in relationships too!!" *deep inhale* yeah I know. I'm not gonna pretend you're not right about that, but there are also aroace people who have exactly 0 interest in romance or sex at all. This is the part of the post that really is based on how I interpret certain moments, but to me he is absolutely one of those people. I don't really know where people get any vibes of him being interested in that stuff. I have never once looked at him and thought "Yeah I could see him in a romantic relationship with *insert character here*". Even aside from attraction in general, since that's what we'd be talking about at this point anyway, he just seems like the kind of guy who'd rather work and live independently instead of relying on anyone, whether practically or emotionally (which is also probably part of the reason he never joined the Vees, but that's another topic entirely). Hell, I'm pretty sure he's in heavy denial about even developing any kind of care or friendship with the people at the hotel (ie. the episode 8 scene with him and Niffty).

The only ships I see him involved in with people he doesn't hate (so ignoring RadioApple, RadioHusk, and StaticRadio. But to be real, maybe the fact all his main ships are enemies to lovers coded says something about the whole situation, but that's just me-) are Charlastor - which I will not even try to discuss here, people aren't gonna like this post as it is - and RadioRose. Rosie and him would at least be fair, if it weren't for one thing (which is also personal opinion on my end), and I don't know exactly how to word it. I'm tempted to say she has wingwoman vibes? But she knows he's aro, so that's not the right word, but there's vibes of like, she probably did act as a wingwoman before she realized that about him or something.. There's also something about her joking around like "Oh this is the girl? You have a girlfriend and I'm only now meeting her?" is almost giving motherly behavior. Idk man they're just besties to me, I could see them in a QPR though (not that they'd probably label it that way, considering the word queerplatonic is likely just complete gibberish to Alastor lmao).

So to summarize: It feels incredibly likely, if not practically canon, that Alastor was written with aromanticism in mind, even if Vivienne refuses to explicitly state it. Subtext and not-that-subtle implications can say just as much about a character as word of God, especially when that God has explicitly told us why she won't confirm or deny this information. Do I think any of this will stop people from shipping him romantically with literally any other character? No ofc it won't, and that's okay, that's just what fandoms do. I do think there's something to say for the fact the one aroace (or even at the very least asexual) character gets constantly shipped with everyone else in the cast, but this post is long enough I think. The only point of posting this is that I wanted to get information out there in one post to say "Hey, let's look a little bit past the surface for a second before saying there's no proof of him being aromantic"

Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you at least took something away from this

"F*cking V"

A Different spin on an older idea (included below the cut).

The last chapter gave me thoughts about Copia's character arc, in so far as the chapters have character arcs. He seems to be going more villainous.

Anyway I finished a thing. Not entirely happy with it but I've been really struggling with art block as of late so getting anything done feels like an achievement!

I miss these two…

You know what I can't stop thinking about?

How long did Hawkmoth intend on leaving his face in her palm? Like, she obviously pulled away first. GABE, HOW LONG WERE YOU PLANNING ON SOAKING IN THE LOVING WARMTH OF HER TOUCH !?

Sometimes I like to tell myself that he was surprised at how fast she pulled away.

When we look at it frame by frame:

You can clearly see that he

a) has his eyes closed the whole time. An indicator of being in the moment and sternly concentrating on it

b) even though Mayura is pulling away and forces him to loosen his hold on her, his head remains in the same position

(Don't get me started on how he continues to hold her even though she signalled that she could stand on her own. And her hand above his heart better be some serious foreshadowing)

Nathalie, darling, I love you. But do you even know what chance you might have missed there!? He MELTED into you! Unconsciously starved of physical attention and you pull away so soon 🙃

Had to reblog this entire interaction because it’s so funny. As someone who didn’t mind the whole Frozen thing - although was admittedly a bit tired of it by the time Merida rolled around, and very sick of it when the whole Aladdin thing happened - I find it very funny how ridiculous the show was in hindsight.

Despite this, I’ll never complain about more Enchanted Forest Rumple - he’s so much more fun than regular Rumple, and the writers hadn’t given up on him in the same way that they had Mr Gold. I love his silly impish mannerisms, the way he cackles, his weird crimped hair and ‘disco lizard’ appearance. I also prefer Enchanted forest Rumbelle, because it wasn’t so toxic, and Belle (despite being his servant) seemed to be closer to an equal. If I were Belle, I would be so mad that the fun, mischievous man I fell in love with had been replaced with a boring guy who is sneaky but in a not fun way. Maybe I’m just looking at the enchanted forest with rose tinted glasses, but eh.

"the disneyfication of ouat ruined the show". i hear you. i wholeheartedly agree with you. but consider that if it had been ANY less disneyfied by even a fraction, we would have been met with the very awful plotline that is rumpelstiltskin being the troll that anna's parents went to when elsa hit her with the ice magic and kristoff consequently would have been raised by rumpelstiltskin as a weird pseudo-son replacement of baelfire

in this essay, i will explain why queer people are obsessed with goth couples that are infatuated with each other & how they are the standard

I think it's way too skipped over that Mr. Compress had decided to also kidnap Tokoyami because he witnessed how powerful Tokoyami is. Bro really was gonna bring an extra child to join the club.

@ink-and-dagger and I speculating before the Satanized drop…

The purple ones must stick together.
