Asexuality, Fandoms and Headcanons
Hello, I have a question for you. When I was adolescent, I really loved Death Note. However, basically the whole fandom shipped Light and L especially because of that very intense raining scene into the anime (it was very beautiful!). I'm not saying you can't ship them, but I remember I felt really weirded out by the ship because inside of me I thought Light that wasn't "sexual" nor "interested in anything romantic" and the same went for L about sex. So in my mind I always perceived Light as asexual and aromatic and L as at least asexual, which made me weirded out by smut doujinshi or fanfictions meanwhile I could tolerate shounen-ai in the end. Later on in my adult life I understood what being asexual and aromantic meant, so I definitely saw how Light and L could be that.
My question is: is there a character or more that you think is asexual and/or aromantic but the fandom doesn't recognize it as such and keep shipping it with someone else sexually/romantically?
I have nothing against you if you do it. I'm aseuxal, but I don't think it's hurtful for me personally. I'm just curious!
i hc akutagawa from bsd as asexual because of their past in the slums,, and at the same time i believe he’s biromantic
