Moonyxox Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) (OP of "Asexual characters in movies or series?") Hey! I was doing a search on asexual characters and the list was really short, so I though to myself: which characters do I sympathize with and find them to be asexual? sherlock(BBC) for example is a complete ace in my opinion(but the fans keep ruining that with the johnlock ships!) Dexter too, but only in the beginning of the series which I liked alot, but later on they completely turned him into a sexual person. I think there are also Sheldon Cooper(TBBT), Luna Lovegood(Harry Potter), Newt Scamander(Fantastic beasts), Aziraphale and Crowley(Good Omens), & ... it’s actually really hard to find an ace character cause there aren’t many, and that sucks... So, Which characters do you find to be ace? Edited February 11, 2021 by Quasar.w added info due to merging threads 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Florence from Sex Education is also asexual, but she appears just briefly in the second season and the tv show is quite sexually explicit regarding the other stories. BoJack Horseman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrustTheCloak Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Is this for headcannons as well? Because if so, it's nice to think that Katniss Everdeen is asexual. When looking back at the books, it does make sense a lot of the time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quadfasciata Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This might be a bit obscure (and possibly not up your alley) but Emma from 'Sidekick Squad' by C.B. Lee is revealed to not experiance sexual attraction or have an intrest in long term romantic relantionships. Basically she is Ace and Cupioromantic, though the author doesn't give her a label (as of the third book) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KenLuffy Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 <-- The character that I am using for my profile picture is asexual. His name is Monkey D Luffy from anime series One Piece (1999-present).. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiveLaugh(Love?) Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Clariel from the Abhorsen book series. It's written by Garth Nix. She doesn't appear until the fourth book, but I thought the series was pretty good overall. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cakeandcats Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Alice Osman is an aroace author, and apparently her book Loveless is about an ace character (Georgia) going to university and working out she’s ace, having wanted romance for years. I haven’t read it, but it’s YA fiction and she’s won a few awards so she’s supposed to be a good author. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mozart Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favourite ace character: Adrian Monk from the television series "Monk" 🙂 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ubersnail Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Here's an obscure headcanon: I am convinced the protagonist of the 1971 film A New Leaf is aroace and he and Henrietta end up in a lovely QPR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ash_AnimeAndCatFan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have a few characters i know of that seem pretty Ace in my opinion. Peridot from Steven universe Alastor from Hazbin Hotel Senku from Dr.Stone( Science over people) Pidge from Voltron (Robots over people) Saiki from the disastrous life of saiki k ( people are too crazy to be around) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nanogretchen4 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 A major character in Dread Nation and the sequel Deathless Divide is asexual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fragglerocking Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I’m about to read Loveless as soon as it arrives, I’ll let you know how it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GalaxyOwl Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’m a bit late here, but Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire has a heteroromantic asexual protagonist. It’s actually where I first heard of the idea that romantic and sexual orientations are separate, thus leading me to my identity, so this book has a special place in my heart.

VeryAsexyIndeed Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) (OP of "Good books/movies with ace/aro characters?") Hey hey friends! I recently realized that I was aroace and it would be really fun to read a good book or watch a nice movie/series with asexual characters in it, and good asexual representation🖤🤍💜 Do y’all have any suggestions for good books/movies that you like? 🥰💖✌️🖤🤍💜💚 The only book I know that I think is good is ‘loveless’ by Alice Oseman, haven’t actually read it but she’s aroace so i think it should be good💖✌️ Edited February 11, 2021 by Quasar.w added info due to merging threads 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thaliaaaaa Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Sherlock TV series. I believe sherlock in the show is asexual, I think this is what the writers said but it isnt mentioned in the show though.

mozart Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) A series I can recommend is Monk. If you never heard about it: it's about a super intelligent asexual private detective with a lot of mental disorders who is hired by the police to uncover murderers. I like it so much because Monk is a really imperfect character which makes him so relatable. The atmosphere is sometimes funny with all the quirky thinks that Monk does, but it's also sometimes about serious issues. Edited January 17, 2021 by mozart 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steel13 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Good Omens has an adorable asexual romance, and the writer, Neil Gaiman, has said that his characters are ace. It is one of my favorite shows. I'm sure you'll see this mentioned other places, but Bojack Horseman has an ace character named Todd who is honestly very well written. I think representation in books can be limited- it is challenging to find canonically ace characters that aren't very minor side characters. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steel13 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @mozart I am a huge Monk fan! I used to watch it all the time as a child. It's funny, I honestly never really thought of him as asexual, though it is really obvious now that I think about it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Pratchett (who co-wrote the book) is one of my all-time favourite authors... for some reason I just haven't gotten around to read Good Omens, but now I really need to ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecoffeecricket Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) (OP of "Asexual characters") Do any of you have any favorite asexual characters? I'm looking to do a bit of reading/watching. There seems to be a popular consensus that Sherlock is an ace character. I've always thought of Beth from Little Women as ace. And back when Todd came out on Bojack Horseman, even though I myself hadn't realized I was asexual yet, I felt so...relieved and seen? Any other characters?

rebis Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Well, not a book or tv show, but Parvati in the game The Outer Worlds is asexual. Also the best character and has the best story ... yeah, absolutely the best part of the game (which is otherwise mediocre), now that I think about it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oberon Jasper Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I have a theory that Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon A Time is graysexual. Other than that... I don't know too many others. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AceAnimeFan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 A few characters from various anime and manga come to mind: Saiki from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K can be considered asexual due to his actions and statements on romance, etc. in the series Queen from Devil's Line is actually canonically asexual (stated in the manga) Levi from Attack on Titan can also be considered possibly asexual Su-Won from Yona of the Dawn is also probably asexual 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AavaMeri Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It is a common assumption that Charles "Charlie" Weasley (one of Ron's big brothers) from Harry Potter is ace/aro; when asked if Charlie is gay, J. K. Rowling replied "he is not" and "he's more interested in dragons than women". However besides that, Rowling didn't confirm or deny his asexuality or aromance. What she did confirm is that Charlie never married or had children. Source: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Weasley 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some characters I can think of are Reyna from the Heroes of Olympus series and Elsa from Frozen (that's more of a headcanon, though). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
