Aesexuality in fiction

[Thyunda]

Always wondered how it ended up in Ireland, actually, let alone how green eyes and red hair ended up so widespread there.

Plantations, mate.


OT: If you want to write an asexual character, simply never approach the subject. Let your reader work it out for themselves. Don't make your asexual character the antisocial, awkward member of a group of friends, because asexuality and introversion are in no way the same thing. Simply never have them talk about the fact they're single, and don't put them in 'comic' situations where they feel awkward around being asked out.
You can be asexual in the same way I'm straight. I don't shuffle awkwardly or go bright red when a guy asks for my number, I simply respond with "Sorry mate, I'm taken." No reason to make a scene about it, and I could have said "I'm straight" but it wasn't really relevant. An asexual character who is used to being approached in such a way might also use the 'taken' excuse, even if they might not be, after all, "I'm asexual" is going to work a total amount of never in a situation like that. Either the person will take it as a challenge or they'll assume it's an excuse and take offence.

A film adaptation of a game doing something right? Well I guess even a broken clock is right sometimes.

Well, it also showed the land border between Turkey and Russia. You know the non-existent one. Unless the movie was somehow post apocalyptic or at least "post-a-major-change" and the Black Sea has dried out or something. Or maybe Russia took over Bulgaria, Armenia or...erm...Georgia. Damn. That movie came out a year before the conflict between the two. Maybe the movie did more than one thing right? And the second one was a prophesy (or a warning, or, you know, both).

As a person who wishes he?s asexual but has to settle for celibacy, its rather annoying how people can be very disbelieving.

My entire family and especially my dad clearly don?t believe me, they think that all it takes is one pretty girl I like and goodbye celibacy, I pretty much can?t even look at a girl without my dad making a comment about it.

It?s not exactly a problem that screams drama but it is something.
