Okay, so I asked my community of Aces for meme representations of what it was like to realize that you’re Ace. Imma post a bunch of the responses.

Can we discuss the recent uptick in dismissal of the League’s sociological issues and goals? Because I am lately seeing a lot of talk about how the League aren’t “Social Justice Warriors”, and that their societal angles are getting dropped for good in favour of their individual traumas; which is weird when society is the root cause of their traumas and, in turn, their villainous activity.

It’s not even that these readers are wrong in their assessment of them or anything; it’s not like the League are trying to change minds here, and it would be very polite indeed to call their activity “direct action”. It’s just the complete dismissal of their ambitions and the genuine good that could come from them that has to be weighed against the damage they do. Especially when the claim gets added in that the League doesn’t even actually care about this stuff anyway; that’s how they expect it’ll get dropped so easily.

Toga wants to change the world into one where she doesn’t need to fear for her life because of the way she was born. This is purely selfishly motivated, and that others like her may benefit from this change is incidental to her. But because it’s selfishly motivated in her own survival; we know Toga cares about this very much and won’t just drop it. And those people like her will benefit regardless, and will be less likely to become villains like her if she gets her way; which is why it shouldn’t just be dropped.

And pretty much all of the League are like that. Like, I’ve seen it said all all the League are doing is “pointless destruction” but that’s simply not true. Whether it be hero accountability, oppressive use of force, quirk prejudiced, general corruption in the industry, or all of the above + the promotion of the bystander effect; the League all have something they’re fighting for that’s getting dismissed here. And while this is incidental to them, they’re also fighting for a reduction in future crime & villainy too.

Divergent is a bad book, but its accidental brilliance is that it completely mauled the YA dystopian genre by stripping it down to its barest bones for maximum marketability, utterly destroying the chances of YA dystopian literature’s long-term survival 

I feel like asexuals would make great sidekicks for pansexuals. Or pansexuals would make great sidekicks for asexuals. Really, the pansexuals could go either way.
