Shae Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I tried to do a search on this, since I've seen a couple of people mention it in their posts. Are there other aces (of spades, of diamonds...)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dirge Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Means a romantic asexual. Ace of Spades means an aromantic asexual. Least, that is what I've heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Means a romantic asexual. Ace of Spades means an aromantic asexual. Least, that is what I've heard. Yup, this. These two symbols seem rather common among asexuals, much like the Black Ring. :) I've heard people try and define what the aces of clubs and diamonds might mean... but unlike hearts & spades, there has never been an agreed symbolic meaning to them.

realm96 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Really? That's so cool. I thought it was all just a reference to the cards! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skywolf Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 In terms of asexuality, as far as I know there is just Ace of Spades and Ace of Hearts. As stated above. Ace of Hearts is a romantic asexual, Ace of Spades is a aromantic asexual=D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cereal Tendencies Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ace of Hearts= Romantic asexual (hetero/homo/bi/pan) Ace of Spades= Aromantic asexual Ace of Clubs= Grey-romantic asexual* Ace of Diamonds= Demiromantic asexual** *Could also apply to greysexuals in general **Could also apply to demisexuals in general Correct me if I'm wrong about the last two, not entirely sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feathers Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This is all very interesting! Thank you so much for the thread and answers as I have also been wondering. <3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ace of Hearts= Romantic asexual (hetero/homo/bi/pan) Ace of Spades= Aromantic asexual Ace of Clubs= Grey-romantic asexual* Ace of Diamonds= Demiromantic asexual** *Could also apply to greysexuals in general **Could also apply to demisexuals in general Correct me if I'm wrong about the last two, not entirely sure There seems to be a slow general consensus going towards those definitions among the community, but I've never seen ace of diamonds and clubs include greysexuals and demisexuals, to be honest... The way I've seen it used, at least so far, has always centred around romantic orientation :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Satin Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I actually saw people using the ace of diamonds as a symbol for demisexuality (not demiromanticism) before. I would kinda like for them to get that one because the only other symbol of demisexuality I know is that ugly as hell heart symbol. Hideous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binary suns Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ace of Hearts= Romantic asexual (hetero/homo/bi/pan) Ace of Spades= Aromantic asexual Ace of Clubs= Grey-romantic asexual* Ace of Diamonds= Demiromantic asexual** *Could also apply to greysexuals in general **Could also apply to demisexuals in general Correct me if I'm wrong about the last two, not entirely sure that's funny, because clubbing is sort of like nonattachment but a whim you might do, so non-patterned while diamonds are (notoriously?) a symbol of relationships, or whatever... with the "notorious" aspect being buying love, which is conditionalism... leads to demi don't mind the dark connotations tho... I don't anyway... lol.... <.< >.> edit: and naturally spades are opposite of hearts because they're visually opposite. upside down and black. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retronaut Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The clubs and diamonds thing is new to me, but I read quite a nifty explanation of the spades and hearts not so long ago. Ace of Spades is for people who are not just asexual but aromantic too, as they've gone the whole hog so to speak, they are asexual in spades! Ace of Hearts is for romantic asexuals (hetero, homo, whatever) because of the obvious connotation of the 'love-heart'. Edit... Thinking about diamonds, we wear them in eternity rings because 'diamonds are forever', but likewise the stone takes an awful long time to be formed. Like a demisexual's attraction you might say?
