I actually found out about asexuality from a Zia/Carter fic I read my freshman year of high school. The fic mentioned AVEN. I checked it out afterward based on how Carter felt in the fic and found out I was ace myself, so this headcanon is very near and dear to my heart
Part of this comes from how Carter describes Zia compared to how Sadie describes Walt and Anubis. While Sadie goes on and on about how hot they are, Carter only uses words along the lines of beautiful to describe Zia
Not understanding what people mean when they say someone is hot is something I very strongly relate to. It's more than just respecting people in your thoughts -- it's a complete lack of understanding on what others mean and it not even occuring to you since you never think of it until something brings it up. It's part of what defines my aceness.
To say this headcanon (and fic) changed my life would be an understatement. It has helped me better understand who I am and helped me know I am not alone at a time where I was beginning to wonder about why I was different than my friends. It brought me comfort before I even knew I would be needing comfort. There's no way I'm ever letting this one go ππ€π©Άπ€
