Not me realizing WAY TOO LATE that I'd posted part 7 of this before part 6 TwT Aaaanyway. Sorry for being a mess about where/when I post. #unitedstates #immigration

A comic titled "Immigration is fun (6)", featuring a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag, speaking to a girl with a nondescript shirt and a short bob cut.
The girl: "So now that you have your green card, you're a U.S. citizen?"
The French character: "Oh, no, not yet! The green card gives me residency, but not the same right as a citizen's. I'll have to wait 3 years after getting my green card to apply for citizenship."
The girl: "Oh..."
The French character: "And that's a shorter wait than most, 'cus I came through marriage."
The girl: "Well, at least you're done with all those interviews for residency, right?"
The French character, with a slightly awkward and cynical smile: "Um, actually... We have to do one last interview 2 years after the green card so they can check it's REALLY not fraud."
The girl: "Damn."

My own MARRIAGE has a platonic explanation, so... Yeah. Anyway here's to the least original thing I've ever drawn 'cus so many people have already said it earlier and better. Also should've just been a "part 2" of my previous post on the topic instead of a whole new post. But welp. #aromantic #aro

A comic depicting two characters, one of the wearing a hoodie with the colors of the aromantic flag.
The other character, looking into the distance, confidently states: "There is no straight explanation for these two characters' dynamic."
The aromantic character looks at them in silence, then thinks to herself: "...Skill issue."

Not sure what the status for people going through this step currently. From what I hear it only seems to be getting worse by the day. I'm glad this is behind me, but my heart goes out to anyone going through this right now. #unitedstates #immigration #socialsecurity

A comic titled "Immigration is fun (7)", depicting a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag.
A narration box explains: "With the timing of my immigration ending up being 2025, and the administration starting to boast a p'much free-for-all immigration crackdown, I figure I had reasons to be nervous." (The French character is shown sporting a nervous smile. The narration continues.) "That being said, I ended up being really lucky, and the only step the administration threw a wrench into my works for was the latest to date: my social security card." (The French character is shown holding the card in question and looking at it with a neutral look. She is then shown in the next panel typing on a laptop, looking discouraged, as the narration continues.) "Shortly after I arrived, the administration froze the automatic issuance of social security numbers. You used to receive one within 2 weeks of getting a green card. You now had to fill in an application form and make an appointment, which took weeks to get an open slot." A few line of text outside of the narration box add: "By the way, none of the official government communications I got ever warned of this change. They all said it'd come automatically. Our attorney only knew about it through word of mouth." The French character is shown looking at a document taken from an open envelope, looking discouraged again. She muses to the audience: "Why bother, right? People only need these to get a job after all..."

The continuation of the comic started in the previous image. The narration continues: "When we got married, my partner and I hyphenated our name; but when I got to the social security appointment, the hyphen was missing from my processed form." (The French character is shown looking at a form shown to her by someone else, where the name, which is censored with a pixelated effect, shows no hyphen. Confused, she thinks up a speech bubble which includes the same censored name, but with a hyphen in the middle. The narration continues:) "I figured their system just couldn't process hyphens and left it at that... Until I was told at the DMV that they couldn't update my I.D. because 'the name on my social security card didn't match'." (The French character is then shown at a DMV desk, frustratedly exclaiming: "Oh, come on! It's clearly the same name!", while the DMV employee in front of her responds with a smug smile: "No, it's not. This one has a hyphen." The narration continues:) "So I had to do the process all over again and wait several more weeks..." (The French character is now seen frustratedly waiting as she seats in a chair, slouched, while an out-of-view voice calls: "Next!" The narration continues:) "But the silver lining was, by the time I got a new appointment, it was Halloween, and my card was updated by Snorlax." (The French character is seen looking with an endeared smile at a social security employee dressed in a Snorlax kigurumi, handing them a piece of paper and saying cheerfully: "Here's your receipt!".)

Recently I came to the realization that "there's no straight explanation for this" doesn't have to exclude people on the aromantic and asexual spectrums and it gave me little happies Real talk tho don't take this one too seriously tho, for many reasons #aromantic #asexual #headcanons

Tailgating IS quite possibly the scariest thing I've seen here too and I hate the fact that it's so established it has a name. But also, I'm not a car person OR a barbecue person, so to each their own really. #unitedstates #cultureshock

A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with an allover print of the United States flag, and a character wearing a hoodie with an allover print of the French flag.
The U.S. character is asking the French character: "So, after a year and a half here, what would you say gave you the biggest culture shock?" The French character thinks, replying: "Hmm... If I had to pick..."
Her face suddenly grows somber and scared, and she adds with a jittery voice: "That one time we went to see a baseball game and there were those people in the parking lot who's somehow brought all of their outdoor furniture in their giant S.U.V. and were just barbecuing. Right. There."
The U.S. character laughs and muses: "So, tailgating broke the French person..."

Trying to come back with a light thing ig, I'm so sorry I've been silent for so long Anyway, caught myself writing the "make it weird" thing one too many times a little while ago and thinking "huh it IS a bit weird to be fair ain't it", so there we are #asexual #aromantic #aroace

A comic depicting two characters, one wearing a nondescript shirt, and the other wearing a hoodie with the colors of the aromantic-asexual flag.
The character with the shirt says: "Say, you know how you're always picking apart things people say casually because of the odd implications they may have? I was thinking about how, whne someone doesn't want their rapport with someone else to take a romantic or sexual turn, they just say "don't make it weird"... That's kind of weird, right?"
The aromantic-asexual character averts her gaze uncomfortably, muttering in response: "I dunno what you're talking about... Romance and sex ARE weird, so..." The character with the shirt, disgruntled, mumbles a quiet "Why you little..."

Aaaand the events of this story are already almost 11 months old. I know I'm most likely one of the lucky ones there, but yeah, overall my experience of #usimmigration has been a lot of very stressful moments capped with anticlimatically quick and easy resolutions. Here's hoping that continues.

A comic titled "Immigration is fun (5)". It opens with a drawing of the narrator (a French person with an outfit with the colors of the French flag) and her spouse (a USAmerican with an outfit with the colors of the US flag) sitting in a government waiting room which consists of a bunch of large chairs far apart for one another. Two other people are seen waiting on other chairs nearby. Next to the French person and her spouse, another person is seen reading through documents big enough to hide their face.
A narration bubble comments: "A merciful 4 months after getting married, we got summoned for the green card interview. We had to wait in one of those rooms with chairs super far apart." An arrow points to the person reading, indicating with a caption: "This time, our attorney was with us." The narration continues: "We arrived at the scheduled time and got called in after about 3 hours of waiting. The tone of the interview itself was pretty friendly."
We then see the French and USAmerican spouses sitting in front of an officer who we only see the back of. The officer says: "I saw the wedding pictures you submitted – they looked adorable! Do you have photos printed here today?" The USAmerican spouse produces a small photo album, answering: "Yes, right here!" The officer responds: "Great! Then, I'd like you guys to pick a few from different dates, and tell me more about the story and memories behind them." Both spouses respond: "Sure!" in unison.

A continuation of the comic in the previous image. The two spouses sitting at the officer's desk are now seen from more of a distance, in a shadow puppet-like manner with silhouettes blacked in. They are commenting on the pictures in a very animated and disjointed manner to the officer whose facial expression looks a bit overwhelmed. Comments include: "So this one is from a time we hanged out with my brothers!" "This one was with my grandparents!" "I helped finish the bottle of wine that night!" "This one was from the Paris Olympics!" "This is the time you learned to chant 'Allez les bleus'!" "This was right at the end of our wedding! My mother-in-law accidentally threw her flower petals right in my face!" "This was at IHop the morning after our wedding!" "My eyes are puffy 'cus we cried a lot the previous night..."
Coming from out of frame, the attorney's voice interjects: "Um... Guys? I think that's enough. This officer has a packed enough schedule as it is..." Looking embarrassed, both spouses silence themselves, while the officer, while still a bit overwhelmed, smiles sympathetically with their eyes.

A continuation of the comic in the previous images. The French and USAmerican spouses are seen sitting in front of the officer again, smiling nervously. The officer, who we only see the back of once again, declares: "Well, I think I have everything I need! You should expect a decision in the near future. I can't promise an exact date though. It could take anytime from one day to two weeks." An arrow pointing to the French spouse, who looks extra nervous, comments: "Not knowing what to expect at all."
In the final panel, a narration box opens with "Less than 24 hours later." The French and USAmerican spouses are seen checking the former's phone with an impressed facial expression. The French spouse says: "Holy shit, honey... We did it. I got my green card." The USAmerican spouse responds: "That was so fast... Do you think it's 'cus we yapped a lot?"

Can't fully promise I'll follow it since it isn't a medium I've watched, but I'm always interested in having the link just in case, thank you!! (Also would be very pleasantly surprised if an actual third of the content is platonic, that'd be a very high percentage compared to what I'm used to 👀)

110

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

It's a good point, yeah. While I feel my sadness and frustration are valid, it gets tough to know where to direct the sadness and frustration at times when there isn't anyone to blame, and that just turns into a complicated vicious circle. Just means I gotta hone my self-storytelling skills more

020

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

To sum up, not looking at a person who entered the room, not acknowledging their presence and calling them by a different name or whatnot isn't exactly gonna make a person feel welcome. It's not the same level as telling them to fuck off, for sure, but it's not gonna make them feel welcome.

000

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I feel one's life experience and how that's affected them from youth isn't exactly on the same level as "unpopular tastes" tho. I know it's not deliberate, but the underlying feeling IS that people like me aren't worth shit to anyone, and I can't just go by "it's not on purpose so you can't be sad".

100

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Doesn't take away the fact that it's hurtful and that I'd like to raise awareness of it. I don't expect stuff to stop or even change, just for people to... Well, be aware (sic) that it's a reality for our orientation, if anything at all.

120

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Hence the "carry on I guess", yeah. I know there isn't anyone to blame in a situation like this, we just basically don't exist to people and that's pretty much what it boils down to.

220

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Então você quer dizer que eu só devo dar atenção à opinião de pessoas da vida real, que eu já sei que acham que gente como eu não deveria existir? Tá bom.

100

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Maybe there'll be something to take away from my joy if someday I DO have joy, but for now the message I'm getting is "if you don't have the interesting parts, you're not worth talking about or being acknowledged, and same goes for all people like you". If there was a bit of both it'd be different 🤷

160

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

But ye it feels like the only exploration people do of aros and aces in fandom is the one that has those parts that allos can relate to, not what makes them different. Which can be very meh even for favorable people, when it's done blatantly as a bypass, imo, but yeah.

161

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I'm not against the shipping per se, and it's on me for not wording it right if it didn't come across that way. I'm against the fact that that is all there ever is. If there WAS exploration and appreciation of all aro/ace sides of the spectrum in fandom it'd be a different story...

120

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

It's like... That one cool thing that gets to be a nice escape for everyone else where they can be themselves and engage with things sincerely and with no filter is, to people like me, just a reminder of the queerphobia I already face every day. So yeah, ima get sad ig.

181

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

And I know that aphobia is rife is society so the majority DOES want us to be fixed overall. But I keep hearing fandoms are supposed to be safe spaces, and I'm not feeling it if the "we want people like you to be fixed" image is the one that'll be prevalent. Again, even if accidentally.

180

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

The issue to me is when fans ONLY ever engage with a character who's canonically something that's already very rare, by shoving sex/romance on them after all. It gives off the image that this is what the people WANT. They want you to be fixed and if you're not they'll reimagine you that way, always.

160

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I mean "at all costs". I'm talking about people who won't engage with characters that are sex-repulsed or romance-repulsed as sex-repulsed or romance-repulsed ever and instead will always go the shipping route. Don't know enough to say if in this context it makes them "bad actors" or the norm, tbh.

230

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I'd love that if that's OK! I actually didn't watch Hazbin Hotel myself, but seeing anything that engages with characters in different contexts is always great to take TwT Since you said "people", if you have other examples I'd gladly take any!

100

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

To sum it up, if the main thing that makes a person different is that they don't feel romantic or sexual attraction at all, but the only way people engage with them is by making them feel that after all, it perpetrates the real-life message of "you should get fixed". Accidentally I'm sure, but ye

150

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

That WAS the intent there tho. I didn't say "don't ship aro/ace characters". I said "if you ship aro/ace characters at all costs, I'll keep internalizing that I don't deserve to exist as a sex-repulse and romance-repulsed aroace". I'm showing people like me are collateral damage to something common.

130

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Where are the people who don't ship at all? 👀 Genuine question I've been looking for them all my life and would love to engage with that kind of fandom engagement if it can have topics I can relate with more.

100

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

...You mean dismissive of practically everyone? 'Cus I do struggle to find engagement in fandom that DOESN'T involve shipping. That's why I'm asking.

110

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Unless you also use "shipping" for friendships or QPRs, for instance, since you did say you might be defining "shipping" differently. I so often see it associated with sex and/or romance that I might just be conflating. But yeah. Sex and/or romance only feels so limiting to me. Solo focus's cool too

120

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

But also... Do people really NEED to ship, all the time, with every character? I don't know. It gets a lot when shipping is only focusing about a tiny part of life that I can never relate to, and it seems that's the only way people ever engage with characters. Like we can't talk about anything else.

220

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

So yeah. This is why I make comics like this. So that people can SEE people like me, beyond putting rep of people like me out in the world. So that people can THINK about it. Guess they prefer to argue, most of the time, 'cus fuck me I guess. "Carry on I guess", always.

220

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Making more is one thing. Doesn't take away the risk of everyone taking that "more" and erasing into "less" all over again. That's why advocacy is important beyond pumping rep out. If the rep is going to be erased automatically, that's not the answer.

230

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

But yeah. Like I said. "Carry on I guess". That IS the genuine conclusion of all of this.

130

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I know I can't stop it. I know people prefer it that way. But as the erased party, it hurts is all. And it also hurts that I can't even say it hurts without people jumping on me for trying to ruin their fun. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's fun. I'm just saying it can hurt not to be allowed to exist.

140

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I'd gladly like to keep adding to the representation. The risk though is that every single person who comes across it may well decide to erase it to the benefit of something else. That's been the trend thus far.

130

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

As far as fandom spaces that engage with aro/ace characters without jumping to the shipping bandwagon automatically and every time, from what I've seen, In Stars And Time has been pretty good at that I think. I hope. I'm scared to be proven otherwise eventually, since that's always a risk.

010

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I'm trying to provide good advocacy here. I think any attempt at advocacy is a start if people are willing to listen instead of jumping to the conclusion that the other person's being an "um actually" jerkass. Lots of us are mainly hurting and trying to belong, not trying to ruin things for others.

110

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Any engagement with ace/aro characters that explores them without having to shove sex or romance in there would be cool, that's all I'm asking. Stories/engagement around them that center around ANYTHING else at all. I know they exist out there but they're so few and far between it's disheartening.

130

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Right, but also, that doesn't mean we should shut up about advocacing for our existence just because of some rotten eggs. Otherwise no one would ever advocate for anything ever and there would never be any progress. I want to believe people CAN talk properly and acknowledge reality in its diversity.

120

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

It's more like... To take this analogy, whenever jell-o is presented to people, people seem to automatically be like "ew, no tast, boring, ima make it cornbread instead". If jell-o was allowed to stay jell-o at least sometimes, that'd be cool is all. But that's not really what I'm seeing.

140

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Yeah, I wouldn't dream of telling people to stop. I don't think that'd be remotely possible, for one thing, and I'm not one for censorship. I'm just asking to be considered with my identity SOMETIMES. ANY TIME. AT ALL. PLEASE. It feels like people don't want to acknowledge people like us exist EVER.

150

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

That in turn takes away rep of sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed aroaces though. That's what makes me sad. But yeah if wanting to have at least SOME representation of my experience that's being respected/explored by fans as what it is "lessening rep in fan spaces", like I said, screw me ig

111

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

"It's not hurting anyone" until it is, y'know Obligatory "not all people" and "not all situations" yadda yadda yadda, but also, I don't feel like watering this one down into oblivion. You know what I mean. #asexual #aromantic #aroace #erasure

A comic featuring a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the sunset aromantic-asexual flag.
At first she looks angry, shaking her index finger at the fourth wall, saying: "If you keep shipping asexual and aromantic characters at all costs, I swear I'll... I'll..."
Then her face grows dejected with a bit of a thousand-yard-stare, and she continues: "...Keep internalizing that as a sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed aroace, I don't really deserve to exist, since any possible depiction of my experience in fiction just HAS to be fixed into "sex/romance actually".
She starts turning away from the fourth wall, waving her hand in a 'shoo/shoo' or 'nevermind' motion. She mumbles: "But uh, it's probably convenient to you if I do, huh. So nevermind. Carry on I guess."

...And even then my "broke" is French broke, which arguably isn't bad compared to many other brokes in the world. But yeah. It still hits different. #unitedstates #france #economy

A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag, listening to two people wearing T-shirts with the colors of the United States flag talking.
One says: "I'm just so broke, though, so..." and the other one responds "Yeah, me too..."
The French person thinks to herself: "Yeah... I can relate, sadly. I guess some experiences are universal..."
A third person with a T-shirt with the colors of the United States flag joins in on the conversation, holding their phone up to show something. They exclaim: "Guys! Wanna go to that comedy show next week? It's $100 per person!" One of the other United States people replies: "Sure!" and the last one replies: "I'm in!"
The French person recoils in shock, thinking: "$100? Doesn't that set you back for the whole month?"
A narration bubble at the bottom of the comic concludes: "One lesson quickly learned: California's casual use of "broke" hits very different from France's."

A comic continuing the one on the previous image. A narration box starts by stating: "Later down the line, after I got my green card and a job."
The French character is sitting in front of a laptop with their USAmerican spouse. The spouse happily states: "There we go! We booked the plane tickets to visit your family this summer!" The French character looks very distraught, muttering: "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god... We just spent so much money at once..." The USAmerican spouse points out: "But, honey, split between the two of us, that's only one week of your pay..." The French character, calming down, replies: "Huh. You're right. That'd have been the whole month back there..."
A final narration box comments: "Money-wise, I still think with my European brain. (And my unmarried brain.)"

AKHTS Jrep 🇫🇷💛🇺🇸 @akhtsjrep.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I don't know why this stuck with me this much exactly. Probably the sheer absence of a "so" or a "but" or anything like that. I've never seen this person again and I hope they wouldn't be mad at me drawing this, but it makes me smile to this day. I hope they're doing OK. #asexual #ace

A comic showing a character with long hair and a tank top sitting at a table, raising their hand with a smile, exclaiming: "I have a question! I really like sex..." They pause, then just conclude "That's it, that's my question", still with a smile and a carefree shrug. The framing zooms out to show they're sitting in front of a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the asexual flag, as well as another character with a nondescript outfit, who both burst into laughter. The asexual character notes: "Good for us both honestly!"
A subtitle at the bottom notes: "One of my favorite reactions I ever got to explaining my orientation."

Welp, this is kind of a nothing sandwich, and the history behind that "birthday" is a can of worms I'm not approaching with a ten-foot pole, either past or present tbh, so just for the sake of saying something that DOES have meaning... Hurray for Belgium. #unitedstates #france

A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag, sipping from a party cup, deep in thought under banners made of U.S. flags.
The French character thinks: "So, the U.S. turned 250, huh... Always feels weird to be in such a young country. To think in less than 15 years, my country will celebrate the 250 years of its RE-birth..."
