Having fun with ace representation

Comments I have made to my editor while talking about one of the main characters in my queer poly triad fantasy romance who is ace, pan, and demi. "Hence why he's such a wholesome dumbass"

"I was being intentionally vague on whether Rav was demiromantic, demisexual, or both. For people like me who are so asexual that I've literally only ever been attracted to. Like. Less than twenty people, it's a meaningless distinction." "I literally forget that people experience attraction all the time" "Me, routinely: why do people do X? My friends: you forgot sexual attraction exists again, didn't you? Me: oh. Yeah. I did." "Honestly trying to provide ace representation is infuriating as an ace myself because. Look. I love me a label, okay? I collect them. I'm a connoisseur. But the aces went too far." "I would die for all of them, but Rav in particular. He is my wholesome asexual son."
