Five Books With Asexual Protagonists

dreamerandthedarkhalf:

I was looking for more Ace stuff. I found this, but haven’t read any of the books mentioned. Now I intend to. Maybe I can find one Asexual book per month to read during 2018?

If you read Clariel make sure you read Goldenhand too! I mean, better still, read the whole Old Kingdom series, but those two books encapsulate the majority of the character’s arc. Also, Clariel is not only ace, she’s autistic-coded too, so there’s more than one form of minority representation going on.

Five Books With Asexual Protagonists

Could you talk about autistic Clint Barton, please?? :D

  • Autistic Clint building nests in high places so no one will mess with them and his carefully arranged textures will stay perfect and he’ll be farther from the noise.
  • Autistic Clint fin ding the perfect texture for his bow’s grip and spending hours rubbing it over his skin.
  • Autistic Clint’s special interest is archer and he knows everything about the different types of bows and arrows and it’s history.
  • Autistic Clint stimming by moving his fingers in complex motions and telling people he doesn’t know well it’s and archer thing when asked about it.
  • Autistic Clint holds back his infodumps to seem professional and not attract attention. At least once a week Coulson asks him if he learned anything new about archery so he can infodump freely.
  • Autistic Clint making little noises to himself as he works without knowing Natasha can hear him. She doesn’t tell him partly to not embarrass him partly because she thinks it’s adorable.
  • Autistic Clint hides in one of his nests when he has a meltdown because he feels safe there. Fury doesn’t know why Coulson is so adamant that he not have Clint’s nests removed or even touched, but complying.
  • Autistic Clint getting really excited when Captain America does a press conference and, when asked about the anti-vaxxers, calls them out on their bullshit.
  • Autistic Clint, man, autistic Clint.

okay, yeah

This makes me smile.

I want to ask Autistic Clint to explain some archery stuff to me. Maybe the history of the repeating crossbow?

Autistic Clint and the intersection between his autism and his Deafness

Autistic Clint stimming with his hands and it’s actually closer to verbal stimming than physical stimming because he’s riffing off sign words he really likes

Autistic Clint humming as a stim because he likes the vibration, not because he can really hear it

Autistic Deaf Clint!

Autistic Natasha headcanon: Natasha learned lots of languages as a girl in the red room one of her favorites was ASL. It felt very natural to her to speak with her hands in fact when she’s alone and feels safe she talks to herself with her hands, it’s comforting and she imagines a stim. She’s excited when she learns her partner Clint knows ASL too and soon when they’re alone they speak often in just ASL it’s relaxing for both of them.
