The Rise of Platonic Co-Parenting

Kansas, you are our home...and we are SO disappointed in you right now.

The last manga & webcomic episode in Royce's latest little reading kick! Let us know what else we should cover and maybe we'll get to it in another couple of years...

Nobody wants to date anymore!

We're back for another round of Ace Rep in manga and web comics! Today we talk about My Astilbe, Shades of A, and we revisit She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat.

More people should be aware that is possibility. Aces & Aros have historically already been finding family structures to accommodate this desire, but now? There's an app for that.

Today we talk Ace Rep in manga and web comics! For the first time we discuss She Love to Cook and She Loves to Eat, I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up, Dom & Mor, and Clinic of Horrors. Plus we also give an update on one of Royce's favorites, I Want to be a Wall.

Wouldn't it be great if this were the last time we ever had to pay any attention to the Heritage Foundation?

Who remembers back in 2022 when 83 religious, right-wing organizations condemned the Respect for Marriage Act while warning about the dangers of "platonic marriages"? WE DO. Well, coming off of their Project 2025 successes, here is the natural conclusion of that rhetoric.

Alastor is problematic asexual representation, not solely because he's evil. He's partially a problem because the rep is not obvious enough in the show itself for viewers who are not already entrenched in the fandom... But the biggest issue of all lies in the historically racist stereotyping that undertones his character.

Watching season 2 after a year of reflection following season 1, we have some more thoughts about how to interpret Alastor in terms of Asexual and/or Aromantic representation. But we've got even more points to make next week, so stay tuned!
