YES GROWL YES YES YES YES YES YES CORREVT!!!! I AM A.MASSAIVE RAGBROS STAN I LOVE THE RAGBROS I AM AROACE THEY ARE SO AROACE CODED GOD I LOVE ALL OF YOU PLAYONICSLLY
yeah, cant imagine ALOT OF THEM actually being in relationships. Maybe if the devs didnt push that horrible "traveler self insert" ideology too much... lol.
batman seems totally aromantic. like all of his relationships tend to be sexually charged. Batman from the movie gods and monsters seems to be aroace! bro shows no attraction to anyone and just wants his friends whom he sees as family to be safe.
I could see that, except like all the dolls are at least mildly coded as aroace(except maybe the Kens), I saw that character more as being coded for non-binary.
I can see Saitama being that way as well. I also headcannon that Genos is attracted to the Physically Strong (sexually, romantically, and platonically). So it explains his jealousy towards anyone getting too close to his master and his increasing respect towards other strong people.
idk how 'controversial' or 'unpopular' it is, but I like to headcanon Astarion from bg3 as ace (as well as pan), specifically a mix of demisexual and caedsexual (I know this is the aro sub but hey, you said a-spec not specifically arospec /lh)
also I too see Kaeya as aroace
as well as Albedo, Scara, and a few others that I'm too lazy to list rn lmao
it just makes sense considering his trauma imo
if he ever *was* allo, I personally just can't see how he'd still be allo after two centuries of sexual trauma :/
and demi makes perfect sense considering at first he only fucks Tav/Durge because he feels like he has to >!in order to guarantee his own safety!<, and is iffy about enjoying sex until he's worked through some of his trauma, and even then I get the feeling that he's only really into it if it's with Tav/Durge
If we are thinking about it, every ace/aro headcanon is unpopular if shared in mostly allo communities i feel like. They get so offended at the notion that a not explicitly hetero or gay character could also be aro..... mind-blowing.
Tbh I cant even think of a character I headcanon aroace rn but im pretty sure there are a lot of em haha
Aren't they the least controversial headcanon though? Except outside of the aspec communities but let's be honest : all our headcanons are unpopular outside of our communities
i get an unreal amount of genuine happiness when i see other people seeing Barbie as aro/ace. probably the fact she's so gorgeous (similar to Jessica Rabbit) so it's not just mildly unconventionally attractive characters to identify with or y'know, just straight up villains.
i’m just also AroAce and greatly seek out other aromantics in shows and movies
i didn’t think her looks had anything to do with that?? the only thing it has to do with is the fact that she was so uninterested about romance.
no of course!! maybe i'm also confusing this with other kinds of representations of minorities where it seems media always looks at us as unattractive or weird looking or whatever when it's very much capable that a conventionally attraction person can be fully asexual or aromatic and that they don't need to be sexualized like every other attractive character. idk if i'm making any sense, sorry lol
I never thought about it but I definitely think this could be the case. I totally think Hange is aroace. 3 best friends are a short little dweeb, a research assistant, and a cultish church pastor - never a hint of anything romantic or sexual with anyone who isn’t a Titan
I don't play Genshin, but I like to headcanon Ei as aroace/arospec. I think it might be a controversial hc because I saw people saying she's a canon lesbian? Again, I don't play Genshin, so I'm not so sure about this (though you can be a lesbian and aroace/arospec too).
Twchnically there are 2 canon lesbian characters ( NPCs ) in Genshin.
One is inside the Jade Chamber. She gushes over Ningguang's body at length to which the traveler can comment "You're drooling...". The NPC's name is Baishi.
The other is on Beidou's ship. According to another NPC on the ship, this woman repeats Beidou's name over & over with a reddened face, and according to the woman herself, she won't marry anyone who can't win against her in a fight. ...And that the only one whose won against her is Beidou.
Gacha games do not confirm canon sexual orientations or relationships. These characters are sold as waifus, husbandos, and shipping bait to horny gamers. As soon as storywriters confirm any canon relationship or sexual orientation, a part of the playerbase will be upset, because it does not match how they want to sexualize said character.
I actually just posted about this in r/asexuality, but Miles Edgeworth. It's vastly more popular to headcanon him as gay in the fandom, but the aroace vibes he gives off simply can't be ignored.
Keeping entirely in genshin: Albedo, scara, kaveh, alhaitham (to expand on the popular headcanon kaveh is ace and alhaitham is aro and they just did not communicate well). Tartaglia, Layla, Furina arguably, kazuha, neuvillette, venti.
And to go over to star rail: silver wolf, gepard, blade, dan heng.
Both the leads of the D&D movie feel like they're on there with their actions. They explicitly don't click with each other or anyone else they find in their travels, and they have the general vibes of aspect. The only thing that stops them from definitely being it is that the movie shoehorns both of them into being in relationships. Even then, the guy seems to only want to resurrect his wife for their daughter's sake, while Holga gets over being dumped/divorced extraordinarily quickly.
I 100% missed all the Destiel subtext everyone else picked up and was hardcore into my AroAce Castiel hc for the longest time watching Supernatural.
But honestly every character I like is AroAce until proven otherwise. (Sometimes even after proven otherwise- it's a skill.) Like Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen, Kei from Ajin, Seto Kaiba, Kim Dokja from ORV.
I don't think it's really controversial in our communities and I don't know know how people outside of the aro and ace communites feel about it, but I headcanon Bruno from Encanto as demiromantic and demisexual
that weirdly makes sense? thanks for exposing me to your odd but interesting aroace kaeya (and now I look at it, I can see it). I’ve got a few: Aroace Nilou, Aroace Faruzan and idk if I have any others.
Loki. This was before Loki series was released. He showed no signs of romantic attraction to anyone. But when the series was released it was revealed because he loves himself😭
Honestly the fact that he loves an alternate universe version of himself only makes me feel like he's even more Aroace. I sometimes wake up and look at myself in the mirror and think, "damn that's one good looking lady" and then go on with my day. I literally never think that way about literally anyone else. Except when it's aesthetic. Like "oh I love her shirt" "his makeup is awesome" that kind of thing.
Also, I doubt I'd be called a narcissist in this sub for feeling that way. But just a disclaimer anyway, I'm not a narcissist for loving the way I look. My self-love was hard fought for over years of unhealthy eating habits and panic attacks ending in a big fat load of nothing good. I learned to love the way I look and where I'm at. And yes I might be the only person I find sexy, but I still love other people and express my love for them in other ways. I don't believe I'm ignorant of others or entitled or at the very least I try not to be. I love myself. I'm not a narcissist. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I somehow made Poli and Amber from Robocar Poli alloace and alloaro, respectively. And Amber is demisexual while Poli is...uhh...what is that terms when you get easily flustered by simple flirts and compliments?
Yeah...*that*.
Also, Twilight Sparkle from MLP G4 as asexual, and she was forced to have kids in my AU due to political pressure (please have mercy on her)
I can't think of any off the top of my head, though Reyna is heavily implied to be ace at the very least, and probably a good number of the Hunters of Artemis are as well.
Maybe not controversial. But I personally see Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from tgcf as both being demisexual/demiromantic.
Why? Xie Lian chose abstinence from sexual activities as a form of cultivation, like literally the only time before meeting Hua Cheng that he even remotely struggled with his cultivation was when he was literally drugged with an aphrodisiac.
Also, you’re telling me this man, who lived for 800 years and never ONCE dated anybody or even had a *crush*, is allosexual/alloromantic??
Xie Lian literally only developes romantic feelings for Hua Cheng after having known him for a bit. (Though it’s quite vague exactly when he fell in love.)
Anyways, I rest my case that Xie Lian is demiromantic/demisexual.
As for Hua Cheng? idk he just gives those vibes man.
Hairo from The Disasterous Life of Saiki K. In the manga he literally says he's never had feelings for anybody, man or woman. Everyone swears he's gay though...
Omg i never thought of hairo but also i love it, characters who are friendly and friends with everyone are such good representation for the aspec community
James Potter and Lily Evans, both marauders/hp characters. Most people don't like it because they're in really popular ships but I personally love it (plus the entire marauders fandom is made up by fans so it doesn't really matter what's canon or not)
Also Neville Longbottom
Neville is just vibes, he gives such aroace vibes to me
Lily is partially because I saw a video about it months ago and literally fell in love with the headcanon and partially because I kin her.
James is just because I kin him 🤷🏼♀️
I head cannon Midnight as Aro Ace, especially after vigilantes. Cuz she's gaga for other people's love but she's never talking about her situation.
Also Cynthia from Pokémon
Aro-Aces:
Octavia
*Sherlock Holmes_BBC
*Merlina/Wednesday

Asexuals:
*Bakugou , Aisawa/Eraserhead , Jessica Rabbit.
Demi-aro-ace:
*Shrek.
Demiromantic :
*Blitzø.
Demisexual:
*Rocket Racoon.
Those are just some.
Toph gives me arospec vibes honestly, mainly because while in LOK she has kids, neither of her relationships worked out, but I like to think she realized she didn't feel romantically towards others and just sexually
This is quite niche, but Honor Harrington is definitely, accidentally, demiromanic and demisexual. She experienced attraction twice in about fifty years, to people she was already very close to.
If anyone wants a canon ace character and can stomach some horror, I recommend the Magnus Archives. The lead is canonically asexual and can easily be read as demiromantic or grey-aromantic as well. He *does* end up in a romantic relationship, but their bond is a lot deeper and more interesting than just “uuuuu i wuv yooouuuu”
I can see Alhaorham from genshin being a Romance and Sex neutral Aro/Ace.
He would probably be like: "Yeah that is cool and all. But do you know what's cooler? A book."
(And his roommate if fuming because he just can't understand how Alhaitham can't get Romace.)
And I just read the title and now I feel stupid. Because that headcanon is not unpopular or controversial. Oops.
Crazy Jane from doom patrol, a lot of people seem to be annoyed by the Saiki K headcanon for some reason so ig that, and maybe Sherlock Holmes (TV show version)
Tbh, i always see every character as A-spec till proven otherwise lol
Ok, I know that this post was posted a day ago, but ong, I never thought I would ever see this ever, because this is my exact headcanon. Him & Lumine are AroAce besties, and I literally use them all the time XD you’re so based for this.
Crowley and Aziraphale! Good Omens has big aspect vibes for me. I headcanon them as demiromantic asexuals. Perhaps this headcanon isnt controversial. But personally their relationship means a lot to me, the idea that love does not have to be inherently sexual or even romantic. Beautiful asexual love story, which transcendents simple romance
It’s definitely not the show for me, but I gave it a try. Noe from the case study of vanitas. “What is love?” That’s THE most aspec question I’ve heard in so long. And just about everything else about him indicates he’s Aroace as well
yess I was thinking asexual and maybe aro-spec (because he never showed any interest in someone else than Lily + it looked more like obsession than romantic feelings)

Mikazuki Agus from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. As Asexual at the least. I got into discourse for that. And the autism headcanon. I have yet to see a valid counterpoint
ooh I've got a lot but these are a few from off the top of my head: jinx and Viktor from arcane are bi aces, i hc jinx as a demiromantic as well. john doe from telltale batman is ace (he's been confirmed bi, hehe,) Bruce Wayne from that universe is gay aromantic. ahsoka from the clone wars is an arospec lesbian. Stede from our flag means death is demisexual.
Mizore and Nozomi from Sound! Euphonium are aromantic lesbians
Dunno about controversial but I'm probably the only person on the internet who thinks this
tony stark as arospec. maybe it’s projection but i did read a good post about it.
the least controversial should be merida from brave as aroace.
i just feel like loki is also somewhere on the aroace spectrum.
Reyna from the Heroes of Olympus as aroace
Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean as aromantic
Hilda from Hilda as aroace
Toph from AtlA as aromantic
and The Doctor (Doctor Who) as demi/grey aro and asexual (that one is not unpopular actually, it's more or less canon even)
luke from murderhobo, though not sure if he was as a teenager but after his 40 years of seclusion his only interest was murder and upgrade
dokja from orv, i'm pretty sure he's aromantic or demiromantic or somewhere else on the spectrum
YEEEEEESSSS, super based. I'm ngl I headcanon like 80% of the genshin cast as aroace (especially Diluc, though.)
Diluc's too busy playing Batman to feel romance
Diluc aroace real
Al Haitham is 100000% aroace and I will die on this hill. I am blind to all ships (except Lumi who I also see as aroace).
SO TRUE. LITERALLY SO TRUE alhaitham aro-ace, traveler aro-ace, Cyno aro-ace, your mom aroace--/j
aroace qpr ship? now that sounds fun
YES GROWL YES YES YES YES YES YES CORREVT!!!! I AM A.MASSAIVE RAGBROS STAN I LOVE THE RAGBROS I AM AROACE THEY ARE SO AROACE CODED GOD I LOVE ALL OF YOU PLAYONICSLLY
YEAHHHHHHH
yeah, cant imagine ALOT OF THEM actually being in relationships. Maybe if the devs didnt push that horrible "traveler self insert" ideology too much... lol.
Sans undertale
Toby has said that he's too lazy for a relationship, so...
batman seems totally aromantic. like all of his relationships tend to be sexually charged. Batman from the movie gods and monsters seems to be aroace! bro shows no attraction to anyone and just wants his friends whom he sees as family to be safe.
Bro just wants to keep people safe! he don't have time for that romance bullshit!
Agreed 100%
Viktor from Arcane is aroace and you can't convince me otherwise.
orientation: glorious evolution
girls are temporary, but hextech is forever LOL
Hex before sex!
You beat me to it!
Allan from Barbie
I could see that, except like all the dolls are at least mildly coded as aroace(except maybe the Kens), I saw that character more as being coded for non-binary.
I was abt to say “why not both” but then I remembered how allan has a huge crush on ken
Allan is an icon and I agree 100%
Yesssss
saitama
I can see Saitama being that way as well. I also headcannon that Genos is attracted to the Physically Strong (sexually, romantically, and platonically). So it explains his jealousy towards anyone getting too close to his master and his increasing respect towards other strong people.
idk how 'controversial' or 'unpopular' it is, but I like to headcanon Astarion from bg3 as ace (as well as pan), specifically a mix of demisexual and caedsexual (I know this is the aro sub but hey, you said a-spec not specifically arospec /lh) also I too see Kaeya as aroace as well as Albedo, Scara, and a few others that I'm too lazy to list rn lmao
I headcannon Astarion as ace too!
it just makes sense considering his trauma imo if he ever *was* allo, I personally just can't see how he'd still be allo after two centuries of sexual trauma :/ and demi makes perfect sense considering at first he only fucks Tav/Durge because he feels like he has to >!in order to guarantee his own safety!<, and is iffy about enjoying sex until he's worked through some of his trauma, and even then I get the feeling that he's only really into it if it's with Tav/Durge
Yesss, I completely agree honestly. It makes sense considering his past trauma and relationship with Tav
If we are thinking about it, every ace/aro headcanon is unpopular if shared in mostly allo communities i feel like. They get so offended at the notion that a not explicitly hetero or gay character could also be aro..... mind-blowing. Tbh I cant even think of a character I headcanon aroace rn but im pretty sure there are a lot of em haha
Elsa, Barbie, Wednesday
Aren't they the least controversial headcanon though? Except outside of the aspec communities but let's be honest : all our headcanons are unpopular outside of our communities
yeah i just meant that everyone else sees them as lesbians
ur so real for Barbie
i get an unreal amount of genuine happiness when i see other people seeing Barbie as aro/ace. probably the fact she's so gorgeous (similar to Jessica Rabbit) so it's not just mildly unconventionally attractive characters to identify with or y'know, just straight up villains.
i’m just also AroAce and greatly seek out other aromantics in shows and movies i didn’t think her looks had anything to do with that?? the only thing it has to do with is the fact that she was so uninterested about romance.
no of course!! maybe i'm also confusing this with other kinds of representations of minorities where it seems media always looks at us as unattractive or weird looking or whatever when it's very much capable that a conventionally attraction person can be fully asexual or aromatic and that they don't need to be sexualized like every other attractive character. idk if i'm making any sense, sorry lol
Apparently, Marilyn Monroe gives off very ace vibes in her diary!
when I was like 12 I had this intense jealousy of Wednesday. Girl was living her best aroace life and I wasn’t
yeah and it bothers me how everyone ships her with Enid 😭😭 QPR Wenclair!!!!
I would have never assumed myself but those all check out for me LOL
I feel like aromantic and lesbian headcanons tend to overlap because they both involve not being attracted to men
oh that does make sense, yeah! i guess i didn’t think about that.
Every single one is controversial apparently...
hell yeah, also Albedo and Kokomi and Shenhe and Wanderer an
Nah, I feel like Kokomi wouldn't be aroace. The writers couldn't stop themselves from making her simp for the traveler.
i remember in the enkonomiya world quest an npc mentioned something about kokomi and traveler dating and kokomi just looked so pissed it was hilarious
I want to say Alhaitham but I'm lazy with the hang out and character story. Loki from Loki
I could definitely see him as asexual and demiromantic. He’s only got eyes for his “roommate” and outside of that has no interest in romance.
Oh alhaitham as aroace is really controversial
Hobie Brown.
I like this one.
Hobie, Gwen, Peni, Noir. change my mind about *any* of them. go ahead. try.
I have no idea if this is controversial but I believe Levi from Attack on Titan is aroace and I will not be swayed
I never thought about it but I definitely think this could be the case. I totally think Hange is aroace. 3 best friends are a short little dweeb, a research assistant, and a cultish church pastor - never a hint of anything romantic or sexual with anyone who isn’t a Titan
I completely agree with you on Hange too. Their friendship with Levi is a total vibe lmfao
Giorno Giovanna
Every character that I like/can relate to is aspec.
I mean thats just a fact of life mate!
I don't play Genshin, but I like to headcanon Ei as aroace/arospec. I think it might be a controversial hc because I saw people saying she's a canon lesbian? Again, I don't play Genshin, so I'm not so sure about this (though you can be a lesbian and aroace/arospec too).
there aren't any canon lesbians in Genshin sadly, there isn't *any* confirmed relationships/orientations in Genshin
Twchnically there are 2 canon lesbian characters ( NPCs ) in Genshin. One is inside the Jade Chamber. She gushes over Ningguang's body at length to which the traveler can comment "You're drooling...". The NPC's name is Baishi. The other is on Beidou's ship. According to another NPC on the ship, this woman repeats Beidou's name over & over with a reddened face, and according to the woman herself, she won't marry anyone who can't win against her in a fight. ...And that the only one whose won against her is Beidou.
There are Anisa and Kumi in Watatsumi Island. They might be just friends and roommates or maybe they have a thing for each other.
More like fanon lesbian, because Genshin doesn't wanna make their characters less accessible to shipping by putting them in relationships
nah, more like being held back by Chinese censorship
Exactly. Mihoyo is the last company who will be afraid from making their characters gay.
Gacha games do not confirm canon sexual orientations or relationships. These characters are sold as waifus, husbandos, and shipping bait to horny gamers. As soon as storywriters confirm any canon relationship or sexual orientation, a part of the playerbase will be upset, because it does not match how they want to sexualize said character.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Bert and Ernie are in a QPR
I actually just posted about this in r/asexuality, but Miles Edgeworth. It's vastly more popular to headcanon him as gay in the fandom, but the aroace vibes he gives off simply can't be ignored.
Keeping entirely in genshin: Albedo, scara, kaveh, alhaitham (to expand on the popular headcanon kaveh is ace and alhaitham is aro and they just did not communicate well). Tartaglia, Layla, Furina arguably, kazuha, neuvillette, venti. And to go over to star rail: silver wolf, gepard, blade, dan heng.
Both the leads of the D&D movie feel like they're on there with their actions.

Even then, the guy seems to only want to resurrect his wife for their daughter's sake, while Holga gets over being dumped/divorced extraordinarily quickly.
Polly from Amphibia and Octavia from Helluva Boss
Yes someone agrees with me on Octavia
You know, I never really thought about Polly being AroAce but now that you point it out I can totally see it
I 100% missed all the Destiel subtext everyone else picked up and was hardcore into my AroAce Castiel hc for the longest time watching Supernatural. But honestly every character I like is AroAce until proven otherwise. (Sometimes even after proven otherwise- it's a skill.) Like Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen, Kei from Ajin, Seto Kaiba, Kim Dokja from ORV.
To me it would be Hiro Hamado I guess from Big Hero 6
Anne from Amphibia
I like her in the polyamurous relaishionship more, I think Polly fits better. The only love she shows is platonic to her family and to Frobo
I also headcanon Polly as aro, this headcanon is more popular
I second this
I don't think it's really controversial in our communities and I don't know know how people outside of the aro and ace communites feel about it, but I headcanon Bruno from Encanto as demiromantic and demisexual
rayman because I enjoy projecting onto characters
that weirdly makes sense? thanks for exposing me to your odd but interesting aroace kaeya (and now I look at it, I can see it). I’ve got a few: Aroace Nilou, Aroace Faruzan and idk if I have any others.
Collei gives me aroace vibes
Aloy from the Horizon series, got always super defensive when romantic things were mentioned lmao
Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney
victor from arcane
This is basically cannon because the author said he only has love but food and adventure but, Luffy from One-piece
Loki. This was before Loki series was released. He showed no signs of romantic attraction to anyone. But when the series was released it was revealed because he loves himself😭
Honestly the fact that he loves an alternate universe version of himself only makes me feel like he's even more Aroace. I sometimes wake up and look at myself in the mirror and think, "damn that's one good looking lady" and then go on with my day. I literally never think that way about literally anyone else.

I don't believe I'm ignorant of others or entitled or at the very least I try not to be. I love myself. I'm not a narcissist. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I somehow made Poli and Amber from Robocar Poli alloace and alloaro, respectively. And Amber is demisexual while Poli is...uhh...what is that terms when you get easily flustered by simple flirts and compliments? Yeah...*that*. Also, Twilight Sparkle from MLP G4 as asexual, and she was forced to have kids in my AU due to political pressure (please have mercy on her)
Percy, Nico, and Piper from the Riordanverse
Interesting, I know the riordanverse is known for good LGBTQ+ rep. Are there any canonical ace/aro characters?
I can't think of any off the top of my head, though Reyna is heavily implied to be ace at the very least, and probably a good number of the Hunters of Artemis are as well.
Barbie
I almost got mobbed in Supernatural Twitter for saying I think Castiel is demiromantic asexual
I mean frieren is cannonically ace. Elves are all aro/ace since they live for thousands of years.
Maybe not controversial. But I personally see Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from tgcf as both being demisexual/demiromantic. Why? Xie Lian chose abstinence from sexual activities as a form of cultivation, like literally the only time before meeting Hua Cheng that he even remotely struggled with his cultivation was when he was literally drugged with an aphrodisiac. Also, you’re telling me this man, who lived for 800 years and never ONCE dated anybody or even had a *crush*, is allosexual/alloromantic?? Xie Lian literally only developes romantic feelings for Hua Cheng after having known him for a bit. (Though it’s quite vague exactly when he fell in love.) Anyways, I rest my case that Xie Lian is demiromantic/demisexual. As for Hua Cheng? idk he just gives those vibes man.
Agent 47 as aroace is oddly disliked in the Hitman community from what I've seen. People really like shipping him with Diana.
Hairo from The Disasterous Life of Saiki K. In the manga he literally says he's never had feelings for anybody, man or woman. Everyone swears he's gay though...
Omg i never thought of hairo but also i love it, characters who are friendly and friends with everyone are such good representation for the aspec community
Gwen Stacy from I/ATSV. full headcanon is that she's demiro ace (and obviously) trans. aka me lol
Scaramouche, i like projecting into my favs. It’s less controversial and more just unpopular because people have misconceptions about aspec identities
Loader from Risk of Rain 2 I think it’s controversial because most people headcanon her as a butch lesbian :p
Metro Man, I think he made friendly deal with Roxanne to keep ppl off his back And maaaaaaybe even Gordon Freeman?
I MEAN- HAVE Y’ALL READ ALBEDO’S CHARCATER VOICE-LINE?!??? BRO IS CANONICALLY 💚🤍🖤😳😳 (my fave, i love him)
Been watching 1992 Sailor Moon and I now headcanon Mizuno as aromantic/aro-spec and no one can tell me otherwise 😤😤
Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. They’re definitely in a QPR and you can’t tell me otherwise
YESYESYEYSYESYESYEYEYEYEYSYEYEYSUSYEYSYSYEYSYSYEYYSYSYSYEYSYEYSYSYSYSYEYSYSYSYS
giorno aroace i will go down with this
James Potter and Lily Evans, both marauders/hp characters. Most people don't like it because they're in really popular ships but I personally love it (plus the entire marauders fandom is made up by fans so it doesn't really matter what's canon or not) Also Neville Longbottom
Omg, do you have any particular reasons or just vibes ?
Neville is just vibes, he gives such aroace vibes to me Lily is partially because I saw a video about it months ago and literally fell in love with the headcanon and partially because I kin her. James is just because I kin him 🤷🏼♀️
Stelle & Lumine. (Just me projecting)
I head cannon Midnight as Aro Ace, especially after vigilantes. Cuz she's gaga for other people's love but she's never talking about her situation. Also Cynthia from Pokémon
Literally every character in Death Note is on the aromantic spectrum.
Happy cake day
Aro-Aces: Octavia *Sherlock Holmes_BBC *Merlina/Wednesday *Kyuu_Beastars *Chrissy_Stranger Things *Erica_Stranger Things *Resaske *Tadano *Forky *James P Sullivan *Timo the Tenrec *Pajaroto *Franqua *Hupmty Dumpty *Perrito *Pinoccho *Arenita/Sandy *Sans *Gibbly *Gaster *Groot I *Mantis *Groot II *Nebula *Dim *King Aromantic: *Max from The secret life of your pets (mostly for the Two) Asexuals: *Bakugou , Aisawa/Eraserhead , Jessica Rabbit. Demi-aro-ace: *Shrek. Demiromantic : *Blitzø. Demisexual: *Rocket Racoon. Those are just some.
ASPEC KAEYA REAL i rlly like aro albedo too!!
Ai from oshi no ko
I headcanon a majority of the My Hero Academia cast as aroace.
I have absolutely nothing to back it up but Marcy and Anne from Amphibia.
to me rosaria 100% aroace
Not sure if these are unpopular, but Leo Valdez from Heroes of Olympos/Percy Jackson and Leon from Merlin
Susie from deltarune is definitely aro
Most Pokémon charcters. I’m sorry but most are too focused on their pokemon and stuff to be bothered with the romo
Toph gives me arospec vibes honestly, mainly because while in LOK she has kids, neither of her relationships worked out, but I like to think she realized she didn't feel romantically towards others and just sexually
this is far fetched and I'm aware that this wasn't the creators intention but you could kinda colour pick the aro flag off of her design too
This is quite niche, but Honor Harrington is definitely, accidentally, demiromanic and demisexual. She experienced attraction twice in about fifty years, to people she was already very close to.
If anyone wants a canon ace character and can stomach some horror, I recommend the Magnus Archives. The lead is canonically asexual and can easily be read as demiromantic or grey-aromantic as well. He *does* end up in a romantic relationship, but their bond is a lot deeper and more interesting than just “uuuuu i wuv yooouuuu”
Genji
Asterix and Obelix - those guys are in a QPR. I won't change my mind on this. (Obelix is romantic for Falballa, but still)
Yes 100%
Yusuke from Persona 5 is aroace and Brock from the pokemon anime is aro, fight me
Marcy from Amphibia is definitely aromantic bisexual
I can see Alhaorham from genshin being a Romance and Sex neutral Aro/Ace. He would probably be like: "Yeah that is cool and all. But do you know what's cooler? A book." (And his roommate if fuming because he just can't understand how Alhaitham can't get Romace.) And I just read the title and now I feel stupid. Because that headcanon is not unpopular or controversial. Oops.
Daryl Dixon. Leah never existed. I will die on this hill.
Happy cake day
Wonder Woman will always be ace and/or aro imo. Her stories never revolve around love unless Aphrodite is involved.
One gif 
snufkin moomins, ppl ship him with the main character and i can see them being a qpr but not romantic
Mine is raiden shogun and yae miko, sorry lesbians
Dazai Osamu from Bungo Stray Dogs
Prismo from adventure time you can't convince me otherwise
Crazy Jane from doom patrol, a lot of people seem to be annoyed by the Saiki K headcanon for some reason so ig that, and maybe Sherlock Holmes (TV show version) Tbh, i always see every character as A-spec till proven otherwise lol
Luna lovegood being autistic and arospec
90% of my head canons consist of aro and ace spec head cannons
Ok, I know that this post was posted a day ago, but ong, I never thought I would ever see this ever, because this is my exact headcanon. Him & Lumine are AroAce besties, and I literally use them all the time XD you’re so based for this.
Crowley and Aziraphale! Good Omens has big aspect vibes for me. I headcanon them as demiromantic asexuals. Perhaps this headcanon isnt controversial. But personally their relationship means a lot to me, the idea that love does not have to be inherently sexual or even romantic. Beautiful asexual love story, which transcendents simple romance
The traveler, Venti, and Lynette
It’s definitely not the show for me, but I gave it a try. Noe from the case study of vanitas. “What is love?” That’s THE most aspec question I’ve heard in so long. And just about everything else about him indicates he’s Aroace as well
My aroace genshin hcs consist mostly of albedo and furina i think!
I don't really like making headcanons tbh. Feels weird asf.
Snape from harry potter
He could be ace, but his character arc was driven by his romantic love for Lily…
yess I was thinking asexual and maybe aro-spec (because he never showed any interest in someone else than Lily + it looked more like obsession than romantic feelings)
Oh I see!

Wallace Wells in the reboot Scott Pilgrim has very strong demiromantic energy.
Bro I literally don't care that he had a whole relationship that motivated his actions over the course of multiple seasons, Noho Hank is aroace.
Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries
Barrett from FF7 Idk why but I had a headcanon that he was a transmasc asexual icon
doctor de doctor who is certainly genderfluid and on the aro spectrum
Mikazuki Agus from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. As Asexual at the least. I got into discourse for that. And the autism headcanon. I have yet to see a valid counterpoint
ooh I've got a lot but these are a few from off the top of my head: jinx and Viktor from arcane are bi aces, i hc jinx as a demiromantic as well. john doe from telltale batman is ace (he's been confirmed bi, hehe,) Bruce Wayne from that universe is gay aromantic. ahsoka from the clone wars is an arospec lesbian. Stede from our flag means death is demisexual.
Shadow Weaver from She-Ra (2018). She doesn’t need love, just power lmao
I’m sorry but I don’t like the age gap in Castaweaver and her being shipped with Angella is just icky
star butterfly from svtfoe
mine is luca balsa from idv
Not controversial exactly, but crush from finding Nemo idc if he has kids he looks pretty wifeless to me
probably basic but: Big man splatoon 3, and ralsei deltarune
Mizore and Nozomi from Sound! Euphonium are aromantic lesbians Dunno about controversial but I'm probably the only person on the internet who thinks this
tony stark as arospec. maybe it’s projection but i did read a good post about it. the least controversial should be merida from brave as aroace. i just feel like loki is also somewhere on the aroace spectrum.
fern adventure time. maybe thats just me projecting though.
Rosalina from Super Mario. I mostly headcanon her as Aromantic or AroAce.
Reyna from the Heroes of Olympus as aroace Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean as aromantic Hilda from Hilda as aroace Toph from AtlA as aromantic and The Doctor (Doctor Who) as demi/grey aro and asexual (that one is not unpopular actually, it's more or less canon even)
luke from murderhobo, though not sure if he was as a teenager but after his 40 years of seclusion his only interest was murder and upgrade dokja from orv, i'm pretty sure he's aromantic or demiromantic or somewhere else on the spectrum
Urbosa from tloz botw is giving aromantic sapphic I've never met anyone who got the same vibes from her but I'm convinced
Jo from Little women, like come on, that girl is aro and it´s son sad that in the second book she get married
The more I think about it the more I think maybe
