Hating on BloodyMary because it has more fics than Gracerocky or just hating on it because it's a "cracks ship" meanwhile I'm here with Grace x Simon x Rocky x Adrian.
that's why i prefer the phrases "some aces/aros have partners and/or have sex and some don't." and "aces/aros are still ace/aro even when having/wanting sex and/or relationships" over the "aces/aros can still date and/or have/want sex"
i've identified as aroace for a little over two years now, yet i have never felt so fully seen by a character and story until project hail mary. dr captain ryland grace means so much to me, especially as such a popularly headcanoned aroace protagonist. happy pride month
he was truly ready to gaslight himself with "dont cry bc its over smile bc it happened" but the moment he got an excuse to come back for rocky he SPRINTED
I think it's nice to have some depictions of asexuality & aromanticism where the individual isn't part of a couple. That's an experience a lot of us have. We don't have to convince the allos we're just like them ("love is love!") by always focusing on 2 person partnerships.
