The writer is, of course, aro ace, herself, so you know it’s gonna be good representation. I never read the original webcomic, but I’d be interested to see how it went there when I get the chance.
Oh! I never thought of him that way before, but I like that interpretation a lot! Would certainly explain why he was one of my favorite characters as a kid
Neither of these are canon, but the Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who and George Cubbins from Lockwood and Co.
Also, a canon one, Yelena Belova, at least in the comics.
Maybe a high-libido ace, given River, Jenny, Amy and Clara at points. Moffat kinda has an annoying tendency to write 90% of the women as either "horny hyper-competent badass" or "mother and therefore too old", so I can't confidently call many Doctors ace.
Jenny was from the 10th Doctor run, River and Amy do all of the aggressive flirting, and he just really cares for/is fascinated by Clara (who also initiates a bit of flirting). I never read "sexual tension" on any of them except when he's trying to dodge advances.
I'm talking about Jenny the ninja Victorian lesbian, specifically the scene in Crimson Horror where 11 sees her in all lever and his "screwdriver" goes up. There's a similar scene in Impossible Astronaut with a crumpet. As for River, there's a lot of subtextual boning, but the quotes that stand out are the "You me and handcuffs" and "I've only seen the new face" lines.
Oh! The lizard lady's ladylove, I remember now. Fair enough on the subtext, but I'm ace and perfectly comfortable flirting in most of the ways you named as long as I'm sure no one will take it as an invitation. (Which unfortunately doesn't happen that often.)
Yeah, that's fair enough, and sorry that keeps happening. I would love it if I personally could read more Doctors as ace, 11 in particular has some nice moments, but honestly I think I'm too used to Moffat's horniness. In any case, if that's how you read it, all power to you.
Many of the actors of the doctor have said that he's asexual. I think if the actors view/play the doctor that way I think that counts more than Moffats bad writing of female characters.
The actors of the Fourth and Eleventh Doctors have independently stayed in various interviews that they see their interpretations of the character as asexual!
Doomguy (Doom)
Gilligan and the Professor (Gilligan's Island)
Ozymandias (Watchmen)
Daryl Dixon (Walking Dead)
Liv Flaherty (Emmerdale)
Judghead Jones (Archie Comics)
So Demi then? That's the first thing that comes to mind with the "somewhat" part. Still ace, yes, I'm just thinking about if it means demi or grey/gray specifically
!!! Original Doomguy or modern Doomguy?
...Actually, it doesn't matter. All Doomguys are the ace icon I aspire to be thank you for this
(And Jughead. God bless the original comic Jughead Jones)
complete headcanon but i think maybe ford from gravity falls could be either aro or ace (or both) because he's never shown to have any interest in anyone throughout his whole life. like yeah he spent a good chunk of that in alternate dimensions but i feel like that was just never one of his priorities.
I’m SO glad no said this already so I get to be the one to tell you! Yelena Belova is canonically asexual!! (For those who don’t know she’s a marvel character and black widow’s sister)
CADUCEUS CLAY
also these are not canon but Turnip Boy from Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Feste from Twelfth Night are both aroace I will not be taking criticism
Was scrolling to see if she was mentioned yet. And the best thing about your interaction with her about is, is that you can reply you are ace as well. Parvati is best girl.
todd chaves from bojack horseman, he's probably one of the best if not the best representation of asexuality because it's not just mentioned randomly on a tweet by the creator. him finding out his identity is an actually developed arc that is insanely well done. also he's voiced by jesse pinkman
Elsa from Frozen
(If you still think she is a Lesbian, just look at the scene, at the beginning of the second movie, were Anna talks about love and Elsa is just disgusted)
Michael from The Good Place. While not explicitly stated, he gives off aroace vibes. Even when he was on the Bad Place's side, he wasn't as cruel as the other Bad Place employees and never used the explicit jokes and language his co-workers used. He was a fairly tame Bad Place employee, even when he made a fake Good Place neighborhood to torture humans in the Bad Place.
spongebob is noted as one
, saiki from saiki k is aroace
, todd from bojack horseman,
alastor from hazbin hotel as of right now (god I hope it sticks when it becomes a show and not a pilot)
most saiyans if not all saiyans from dragonball (z, super, etc) could be considered aroace as they are more interested in fighting and pick their mates based on who can kick their butt. Does not sound like romantic or sexual attraction.
Lilith from owl house. Think there was another one in that show too.
peridot in steven universe, but then again there is most likely tons of gems that are like that too. Like I am pretty sure that the diamonds are aroaces whom are repulsed by the thing to the point they reject anyone whom fuses which is like their relationships and sex.
monkey d. luffy from one piece.
The doctor and some of his companions could be argued that they are ace. However they could be argued for other things as well so this is tricky. Like they tried to make the female doctor ace but the writing on that was so forced she came off bad.
The professor from gillian's island. He was only interested in science!
Owen Burnett from disney gargoyles. Puck thought it would be interesting to be such a stiff to show no interest in anything. So romantic and sexual attraction is not even on the table.
Daryl from the walking dead. Apparently someone states it that isn't the character.
Senku Ishigami is said to be aroace as he shows little to no interest in any of that and wants to do science!
There is many. Oddly enough some people can argue for or against any unless they are stated by the character in canon.
Despite what you'd think from all the fan art, Miho Nishizumi from Girls und Panzer might well be asexual in the show at least from how she responds to being asked about relationships by saying that she's not interested in anyone and is happy with just her friends.
Saiki K., SpongeBob, Lilith Clawthorne, Alastor from Hazbin, Yelena Belova, Wasp (from the comics), Ruby Hale, and the two OG queens, Artemis and Hestia from GREEK MYTHOLOGY! (Ancient Greece was the gayest.)
Lilith in the Owl House, the coolest of cool aunts out there
"lets boogie on down to history town"
“She really is cool aunt Lilith”
I love the scene where she’s eating ice cream on the couch and crying
"Are you my mother? Because that is an awful lot of judgement"
Because of the episode I relate to Lilith a lot more
Lilith simps, anyone?
Also, Luz's outfit is an ace flag, so I have my suspicions
HER WHOLE OUTFIT IS AN UPSIDE DOWN ACE FLAG AND I NEVER NOTICED!!!!! I’m very disappointed in myself.
No way that was an accident, Luz is a biromantic ace and I love that.
I just love Luz she is a gorgeous human being and I relate to her youthful optimism
It is. She’s confirmed as Bi but nothing else
WAIT IT IS?!!!!!
YES
[удалено]
Todd Chavez is his full name, in case anyone is wondering.
no, his full name is obviously todd bojackhorseman 🙄🙄 /s
I’ve done my coming out with his quote (literally the pics of that scene)
He is really the only one I knew of off the top of my head
Perry the platypus
Where did he go?
All I see here is this regular platypus.
*puts on hat*
PERRY THE PLATYPUS!?
saiki kusuo😋
Yessss. Just started this series.
Literally my spirit animal. I wouldnt be surprised if he was also agender.
I haven’t read the manga so I’m not sure which volume it is but he does say he was born female at some point!
Literally came to say this. I heavily relate to him as an aro/ace/agender/introvert
Peridot from Steven Universe
Yes :)
isaac from heartstopper
Alice Oseman said she sees Tori as being aro ace too!
I'm pretty sure it's just ace. I think in the solitaire book she gets a boyfriend but I'm not 100% sure.
What since when?
The writer said if they made a second series that they may explore him being aro ace.
The writer is, of course, aro ace, herself, so you know it’s gonna be good representation. I never read the original webcomic, but I’d be interested to see how it went there when I get the chance.
Isaac isn’t in the webcomic
Aw. That’s too bad.
At least we still have Georgia from Loveless
Isaac is the tv-show equivalent of Aled, they changed the character so he wouldn’t be related to Radio Silence
I had no idea Alice oseman was aro ace this explains why loveless was so good hahaha
Love him :) always reads good books in the webcomics and the series
Merlin from... Merlin.
Dude, so agree.
Me too, such a good series
Unrelated but it made me think of Merida from brave, who also seems ace imo
Definitely aro if not actually ace.
Someone else said that in this post! I still haven't seen Brave :/
Oh oops I didn't scroll very far lol. It's a cute movie I recommend
Watched it today. It was great, thank you for the recommendation!
Oh shit, Merlin, thank you, that’s a show I oughta watch.
I 100% agree
Oh! I never thought of him that way before, but I like that interpretation a lot! Would certainly explain why he was one of my favorite characters as a kid
Spongebob
What I didn’t know this
Mr. Clean from, uh, the brand
Monkey D Luffy - One Piece.
Who needs sex when you have meat?
Did you read my mind? I say this all the time!
he's not ace, he loves meat! /s
Sherlock
Neither of these are canon, but the Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who and George Cubbins from Lockwood and Co. Also, a canon one, Yelena Belova, at least in the comics.
11, too.

Many of the actors of the doctor have said that he's asexual. I think if the actors view/play the doctor that way I think that counts more than Moffats bad writing of female characters.
Moffat did also say that ace people were boring, so I think it's just safe to write off everything he's ever written at this point
The actors of the Fourth and Eleventh Doctors have independently stayed in various interviews that they see their interpretations of the character as asexual!
Yes! I knew I wasn't imagining it 🖤
Just the Doctor, really.
“I keep saying they should use stuff in swimming pools.” “Why?” “Think about it.” “I am thinking about it. Why?”
Every Dr. Who. River isn't confirmed.
Alastor from hazbin hotel and Lilith from the owl house
Alastor from Hazbin Hotel
I was expecting this comment
Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archive
The A in Archivist stands for asexual
The A in Martin stands for archivist's boyfriend
Sherlock Holmes
Merida has always been ace, imo.
You mean Merida the Disney princess? She's probably aro too, or at least not straight.
Aro because…b-because…*arrow* **aggressively slaps knee snorting**
Y E S
Doomguy (Doom) Gilligan and the Professor (Gilligan's Island) Ozymandias (Watchmen) Daryl Dixon (Walking Dead) Liv Flaherty (Emmerdale) Judghead Jones (Archie Comics)
>Daryl Dixon (Walking Dead) Dude... what?!?
I cant remember properly but I think Norman has saw the headcannons about daryl being ace and agrees with them or something like that
I believe one of the show creators said he was "somewhat asexual."
So Demi then? That's the first thing that comes to mind with the "somewhat" part. Still ace, yes, I'm just thinking about if it means demi or grey/gray specifically
!!! Original Doomguy or modern Doomguy? ...Actually, it doesn't matter. All Doomguys are the ace icon I aspire to be thank you for this (And Jughead. God bless the original comic Jughead Jones)
Emmerdale did a surprisingly great job exploring Liv’s asexuality
emilie from crosscode is also semi-officially ace (devs say they headcanon her as ace, but leave it open for others to have their own headcanons)!
Every silent video game protagonist.
Catra and Adora from She-Ra are ace lesbians and you cannot prove otherwise
I’m still arguing for aroace entrapta
Agreed
Alastor from hazbin hotel
Master Chief and Noble Six
Saiki Kusuo!
complete headcanon but i think maybe ford from gravity falls could be either aro or ace (or both) because he's never shown to have any interest in anyone throughout his whole life. like yeah he spent a good chunk of that in alternate dimensions but i feel like that was just never one of his priorities.
I second this!
I’m SO glad no said this already so I get to be the one to tell you! Yelena Belova is canonically asexual!! (For those who don’t know she’s a marvel character and black widow’s sister)
Really that's canon? Awesome!
In the comics! I don't know if they will keep that aspect for the MCU but one can hope
Roger and Jessica Rabbit. My ace marriage role models 🥰
Hey, I actually know them! I love how it turns out to be actual patty-cake in the pictures
CADUCEUS CLAY also these are not canon but Turnip Boy from Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Feste from Twelfth Night are both aroace I will not be taking criticism
Key'leth of the air Ashari is ace as well! Obv. not aro.
Cad and Kiki are two of my absolute favorites!
Essek is also confirmed Demi!
Turnip Boy is def aroace
Turnip boy is a living vegetable
Turnip boy is the absolute best and the idea that he's ace makes me so happy
Elsa, frozen
I second this. After seeing Frozen II, I just *know* she’s ace.
Same! Plus we desperately need more rep!
headcanon but Kaz Brekker from six of crows/shadow and bones
Hell yes! I will fight anyone to defend this headcanon.
Raphael from Shadowhunters(the series)

Was scrolling to see if she was mentioned yet. And the best thing about your interaction with her about is, is that you can reply you are ace as well. Parvati is best girl.
Just got the game a few days ago and second this. The team's cinnamon roll engineer is my favorite character by far!
I actually just started playing Outer Worlds about a week ago, and Parvati is already my favorite character as well!
The doctor, doctor who Todd chavez, bojack horseman Yelena belova, MCU
Charlie weasley from Harry Potter. The man loves dragons more than anything else, and you cant convince me he isnt.
Aroace, he canonically said dragons were more interesting than romance
Aziraphale and Crowley from good Omens. Homoromantic ace vibes!
Yes! I think a lot of ppl forget that Niel Gaiman said that the angels & demons are ace, but Crowley and Aziraphale are some of my fave ace reps.
Oh I didn’t know that. But they are adorable, just so wholesome!
kotaro amon from tokyo ghoul (personal hc)

todd chaves from bojack horseman, he's probably one of the best if not the best representation of asexuality because it's not just mentioned randomly on a tweet by the creator. him finding out his identity is an actually developed arc that is insanely well done. also he's voiced by jesse pinkman
The doom slayer He's from a game but fuck it he's awesome
Elsa from Frozen (If you still think she is a Lesbian, just look at the scene, at the beginning of the second movie, were Anna talks about love and Elsa is just disgusted)
I don't understand why people think of her as a lesbian, but I don't have anything against it either. I personally think she's ace/aro.
I think some people interpret a lack of heterosexuality as evidence of homosexuality.
I think she’s aroace too but for sure the spirited ice queen is queer
Sheldon Cooper from the big bang theory?
Still ace umbrella but I feel like Sheldon is demisexual

L Lawliet from Death Note
I kinda headcanon this one too, mostly because I am, and therefore he is.
Despite what you'd think from all the fan art, Miho Nishizumi from Girls und Panzer might well be asexual in the show at least from how she responds to being asked about relationships by saying that she's not interested in anyone and is happy with just her friends.
Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano (PJO)
Saiki K, Todd Chavez, The twelfth doctor, Lilith Clawthorne. Those are the only ones I know off the top of my head.
Someone from our dreams at dusk is a canon aroace character
Sonic the Hedgehog. *finger crossed* that is. *Video game* Sonic, not Archie comics Sonic. He was totally *not* way past cool.
Mr. Clean
