Pride Month Aspec (Head)canons Day 14

Stereotypical Barbie - Barbie (2023) - Aroace

Firstly, Barbie is canonically ace, so jot that down. (Thank you, Margot Robbie!) And I know lots of people saw her as a lesbian. I respect a good lesbian ace Barbie hc

Personally, I like to see her as aroace. That end conversation with Ken just screamed it to me. I knew going in that some people saw aroace Barbie and throughout the entire movie, I was looking for it. Lo and behold, that scene delivered and gave me exactly what I was looking for. It made me very happy to watch

Her arc as a whole was very aroace to me. Being in society and knowing you're different than you expect yourself to be (aka comphet and internalized amatonormativity etc etc) and trying to figure yourself out. And in the end, accepting those difference and moving forward and being stronger and all the better for it.

Added bonus of the yellow dress she wears in the scene with Ken fitting in with the flag color scheme <3

Jango Fett - Attack of the Clones (2002) - Asexual

(Last Star Wars one, promise)

The man. The myth. The legend.

What better ace icon than the man that literally respawned asexually lollllll. Literally allows a clone army to be made from his DNA just so he gets a single son without having to have sex. 100/10. No notes.

Does this make the entirety of the clone army ace? No. That's not how cloning works. But once they find out what asexuality is and hear about how Boba was the main "payment" from the Kaminoans, they'd probably have a laugh, too, just like me and all the other people who decided Jango's ace

Anyway. Everyone should at least admire Jango for the ace icon George Lucas accidentally made him into. It's the best.

"Love and sex make us human"

Wrong. Most animals fuck. Some reproduce without a partner. Then there are some that can choose not to fuck (like those that remain in their pride or family and forfeit the right to mate in exchange for safety).

Definitely a lot of them love. In their own way or even our way. Like... so many birds mate for life. Humans only wish for that marriage success rate...

Love and sex don't make us human. The absence of them doesn't make us human.

You know what makes us human?

COOKING.

Humans are the only creatures in existence to cook their food. To have a culinary culture. To purposefully change the molecular structure of their sustenance for fun, art, and pleasure.

So, in a way, at the root of it, is pizza over sex and romance.

Pizza makes us human.

Echo - The Clone Wars (2008) - Aspec

(Why were the best pictures I could find of him all angled the same direction lol? Must be because he's always on Fives' right and has to turn to talk to him)

I'll be real with you guys, this one is partially just self-projection. Echo is one of my favorites and I've related to him a lot. It's just natural that he would then be aspec, too.

Mainly, he's aspec because I haven't figured out more specific for him. He'd certainly be able to figure it out himself, I just haven't spared the mental energy for a more specific headcanon.

Also I like the idea of him being aspec and Fives being bi. It's like "yeah neither of you are straight. neither of you are necessarily gay either. in opposite ways, though." Despite what people think there aren't too many things that make the domino twins different from each other and I like that this particular set of hcs reflects that, too

Anyway. Enjoy aspec Echo. He's a delight

Be careful of Asexuals y'all, I heard they aren't fucking around

Honestly I'm so happy my sister and I are both ace. She didn't need to explain when she came out to me and I didn't either and we don't have to worry about hearing aphobic stuff from each other. It's nice
