when making ace characters/headcanons please remember:

• not liking romance =/= being ace
• not liking sex =/= being ace
• ace =/= cishet
• ace = no sexual attraction
• “lol their sexuality is pizza” fuck you
• but seriously ace people are not obsessed with food
• some ace people like sex. some are just neutral. some are sex-repulsed. it’s not a unanimous thing.
• “I think this character is ace” “but they’re gay!” yeah what’s your fuckin point
• being ace =/= not gay
• don’t infantilize ace people. being ace doesn’t make someone uwu pure
• it’s okay to headcanon kids as ace. it’s not like you’re not allowed to be ace until you hit a certain age. If I had more information about what being ace was when I was a kid, I have no doubt I would have been calling myself ace way earlier.
• however: your reasoning for headcanoning a kid as ace shouldn’t be because they’re not having/interested in sex. Well, yeah, duh. Of course they aren’t. They’re a kid.
• ace people can’t be “cured” by “the right person”
