EngineeRaven Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 6 minutes ago, Masterman said: Yeah, they are celibate in the canon rather than asexual. But this thread is about headcanon, so we're forcing the truth a bit in order to get a bit of representation. And in my mind, I chose to think that at least Luke, Rey and Obi-Wan are asexual for real. As in, if Obi-Wan had left the Order and married Satine, they still wouldn't have sex in my mind. Makes me happier than the alternative Fair enough! Ace!Luke is a great headcanon, in my opinion. I mean, he's so socially awkward in general, especially around women. Him being an ace is so much more realistic than the not-canon-anymore having sex with a ghost trapped in a computer. (That was one of the most wtf moments of my chidhood. Like... what the actual heck.) Link to post Share on other sites
Masterman Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, I must admit I'm not fond at all of Legends. They were very "WTF", as you describe them. I'm glad the new canon still allows for an ace Luke. Also, commenting on other suggestions I've read, yes, Elsa should totally be ace, but you know who else? Merida, from Brave. She could totally be one. That's my least favorite Pixar film, but I was very glad for its position towards pairings. Newt Scamander, obviously, marries, but some aces do, so he can still be on the spectrum. Data from TNG kind of is, and Odo from DS9 was a confirmed asexual, until he wasn't.

Aream Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I've never commented on anything on AVEN before. Just recently getting back into my account. But I'd love to share a few of my favorite ace headcanons! Kakashi from Naruto. Even though he loves those romance novels, he hasn't shown any interest in women. Even in the newer series, he's still happily single and not paired off like a lot of the characters were. It gives me hope for myself! Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars. Despite the Jedi Order being celibate in general, he's definitely ace imo. Some of the young adult novels showed him not really getting intimate relationships as a teen & seeing them as no different from his love & admiration for Qui-Gon. Noctis Lucis Caelum from FFXV (my icon gave that away...) Never had a gf. Loves Luna, but not in the way that comes off as romantic/sexual. He doesn't really get the flirtatious behavior of his friends around girls either. Link to post Share on other sites
Bronztrooper Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ooh, this thread seems interesting. Ruby Rose from RWBY: Since the beginning of the series, almost all of the main characters have been shown having an interest in other characters except Ruby (Jaune was interested in Weiss, Weiss was interested in Neptune, Yang is interested in guys in general, Blake is interested in Sun, Nora is interested in Ren, and Pyrrha is interested in Jaune). Arguably the second episode could imply that Ruby may have been interested in Jaune, but there hasn't been any real instances afterwards to support that. She's much more interested in reading and weapons than in dating and honestly, hasn't shown any obvious interest in anyone (not that there weren't moments that could be seen that way, but still). Lie Ren (also) from RWBY: Like Ruby, Ren hasn't been shown to have any interest in other characters. He's also pretty much oblivious to Nora's interest in him for a good amount of the series despite the 2 of them knowing each other for so long. @Aream What about Satine and Obi-Wan?

Of course, there are a few others in this thread that I totally agree with: Shiro from Voltron. He seems so dad to me. I cannot see him being sexually involved with anyone. But I could definitely see some romantic or platonic relations happening. Pidge from Voltron. I see her being platonically being involved with folks, but not sexually. Nick from Hot Fuzz. This works so well!!! I just makes so much sense. Forget headcanon, it's canon in my heart. Charlie from Harry Potter. Of course. Here are a couple of my own headcanons [if they were mentioned already, I must have missed them]: Miles Edgeworth from the Ace Attorney games. I definitely headcanon him as on the ace-spectrum. I think demi or gray would be fitting for him. Possibly panromantic? Midousuji Akira from Yowamushi Pedal. This character literally has no interest in men or women and only wants to achieve his goals. Additionally, he's constantly referring to people as "gross" so I'm getting some sex repulsed vibes as well. He is precious to me. Master Chief, John from the Halo games and books. Okay bear with me here, I know in the games you're obviously playing Master Chief, but in the books John's personality is explored a little more, and he was never interested in anyone, nor did he get involved with anyone. He has always been more focused on the task at hand. Okay those are a few that I could think of off the top of my head, so I apologize for the rambling mess!! Link to post Share on other sites

InfinitysGrace Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 My absolute favorite ace headcanon is definitely Sombra from Overwatch. She's a purple hacker with invisibility powers, and makes fun of everything, and everyone just because she can. Truely she is an ace icon Link to post Share on other sites
EngineeRaven Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 @InfinitysGrace Whoa, I didn't even think about that! But true, she's kind of the "information over dicks" kind of character. Link to post Share on other sites
Masterman Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'm not familiar with that character, but I'm almost convinced. She's literally colored like an ace flag, and the invisibility is almost an asexual power Link to post Share on other sites
Leilamy Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don't have any personal headcanons but eh, I just might search for some now. Btw, I've seen Pidge as Ace/Aro in a lot of fic but I would have liked some explanations actually. Like, if we compare her to Lance or Matt, I totally get it. Hunk appears quite innocent but I definitely ship him romantically with Shay. But well, Pidge doesn't appear MORE disinterested than Keith or Shiro on the matter to me, so why ? (I find this headcannon really cool, just trying to understand it) Btw, I live for your headcannon of Luna Lovegood. I can totally imagine her as Panromantic Ace and that's so cool. And I agree with an Aro/Ace Peridot, or at least Ace cos I ship her a bit with Lapis. Link to post Share on other sites

Rosendust Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I have always headcannoned(?) Mei and Winston in Overwatch in a platonic life relationship. Likewise, I've always shipped Pharah and Mercy in a more motherly/daughter relationship. Regards, Rosendust Link to post Share on other sites

Tiravia Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I've gone on about it in a previous ace character headcanon thread, but Rantaro Amami from New Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is very aro/ace to me. I mean, come on, the guy's love hotel scene in the game is entirely platonic. You have to stretch very far to interpret it as sexual. And he says certain titles are too romantic for him (i.e Traveler). Link to post Share on other sites
EngineeRaven Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I don't agree with the Pharah x Mercy one, probs because I'm a die-hard Gency and McPharah shipper. But yeah, I always shipped Winston with Athena, which must be an ace relationship, I mean, I don't wanna be discriminative against apes and AI's, but neither is known to have sexual feelings towards the other.

Masterman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have another headcanon. Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy could possibly be asexual. Or maybe she's just too naive to understand about this, but in any case the result is similar. Link to post Share on other sites

Bronztrooper Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Lately I've been starting to think that Merrill from Dragon Age 2 might be a biromantic asexual. She's pretty clueless about a good amount of innuendos yet she is still interested in learning about 'dirty' stuff. There's even a convo with another character (Anders) who comments on her looking through his grimoire and she says that she was looking for 'dirty spells' while his reaction is basically along the lines of "WTF". It could be argued that she's simply not mature enough to understand attraction and stuff like that, but there are plenty of moments where she can come off as one of the more mature characters in the game, so idk.

It's not just because he had a wife and daughter, but because his race is actually very open about sex. He even talks about his parents' intimate relationships without any taboos and calls it "beautiful". Link to post Share on other sites
