  • Red is openly asexual with a romantic orientation. I find it cute how that side of her peeks out in videos every now and then, so I made a compilation of those instances.
    Red and Blue both have a hilariously informative TH-cam channel focused on mythology, history and literature. Please check them out here! / overlysarcasticproduct...

    I just wanted to tell you all how thankful I am for your support. This video blew up WAY more than anticipated. I made it with the goal of educating others about asexuality and praising the Almighty Red. To see how many people it’s affected and brought together has truly moved me. Thank you all for everything, keep loving each other and being yourselves 💜

      I'd always known the term asexual but I think it was a Gravity Falls fancomic of all things where I first learned the term aromantic. Things just kind of weirdly clicked together in my brain after that you can feel romantic love but not sexual desire and sexual desire but not not romantic love and in hindsight it just feels so freakin' obvious.

      My Asexual friend from Middle School actually has explained this to me once. And I actually got it... Because sometimes that's how I see People as an Artist at times.
      Like I once had an Art Class Model you know one the "Life Drawing One's", A Woman and To me she was super attractive for an NSFW reason but she was kinda very reminiscent to a Fairy in a hippie kinda of way and was covered the most amazing vintage almost cottagecore looking tattoos for a Woman in her late 30s in 2010, and had red hair.
      I SO BADLY WANTED TO TURN HER INTO A KITSUNE!! But the art director said " no" like she was giving me Fox Goddess vibes. I also wanted to draw every tattoo but...The Teacher was telling us to focus on Curves.
      BUT ANYWAYS that was my Aesthetic Crush.
      So when my friend said " Aesthetic Attraction" a couple years later like 2014. I was like..."No, I think I know what you mean. It's like how an Artist sees a reference."

      @@diablominero Being in a relationship is not "slightly ambiguous" its overt if people are making out in front of you. If two people don't come up to you and say their together than its probably none of your business in the first place and it would be stupid to assume or even guess at. Nobody in the world just guesses people are together based on ambiguous signs. They just ask or wait to be told. Its exceptionally simple. Nobody has a sixth sense about who is in a relationship with who...people just ask or wait to be told. Being autistic doesn't make you ignorant. Its insulting to say you being autistic means you can't figure out simple things like asking question. Not being to tell if two people are in a relationship isn't something attributed to autism.

    I can empathize with Red but more because I'm an aromantic pansexual. I just do not understand romance at all. Like wtf even is it? My sexual relationships have always been more of a "I love all my friends but this friend is the one I'm having sex with and spend most of my time with." Like my brain just can't fathom the difference in relationships with the exception that these are the sex friends and these are the platonic friends.

      My feelings are similar but different because I'm ace and maybe some type of aro-spec (still questioning on that one), because even before I learned of the split attraction model or of the different sexualities, I was always like "Gah, what's the point? What emotionally makes going on dates with a significant other different from hanging out with a group of friends? Especially if you don't even know the person you're trying to date compared to your friends!"

N after this look back on our yrs of friendship I thought "ya, that checks out" n now I know how my friends felt when I came out as MtF (I'm also a bit of a furry, not jumps but ears n tails n I love being pet) n they looked back on all the times I told people that I'm easier to understand if u think of me as a lesbian cat in a human man's body.

And this has confused me for SO long, because I don't really find men to be aesthetically pleasing, but they're the only ones I'd ever be willing to be in a romantic relationship with... So I'm just over here yelling at God for the past 20 years of my life, like, "Which is it?! She looks good, but I don't want to date her. He looks meh, but I'd be down to date if he had a good personality, maybe? And I don't want to f*** anybody! What the heck is with all these strange ingredients?!" 😭
