@everyone interesting talk about sexuality for our characters. I have to say that I don’t see any of my characters through those lenses but I do know that due to the terror and truama my characters have lived through, a lot of them have no interest in romance or sex because their instincts have been geared entirely towards survival, their goals and nothing else. I dunno if that counts as asexual? Cause its dark outside forces that have basically put them in difficult positions, thus resulting in permanent truama, and a loss in interest in anything to do with finding love. Lorcan would be one of them, yes he is a flirt and a womaniser and thinks highly of himself, but everything he has endured has mostly wiped away his tendencies to want romance and physical intimacy. And he is too focused on his goals too I guess…

My MC Mayra is also in a strange position regarding physical attraction, though its much much darker, any kind of physical attraction and intimacy towards humans disgusts her because of her severe truama (basically she is a victim of grooming, and physical and verbal abuse, to the point where she doesn’t know the difference between real love and manipulated love) I have not experienced what she has, so I’m a little nervous trying to get her truama and story right.

Anyway my point is that sexuality, identity and romance is most definitely the last thing on all their minds 🙂 I dunno what u guys think
