Waiting on an ace person for that kind of intimacy isn't healthy for either- if you're allo, you have needs and from what I've heard it can be stressful to leave them abandoned. On the other side, one shouldn't expect the ace person to eventually want it- it can put pressure on them to do things they don't feel, even if their partner isn't asking. There has to be an understanding of the situation, and how you can't go into it like an investment or something.

Ahh, that would be an issue. I kinda have a similar one? Except I world build excessively and it outlives the will to write the story. I've been working on directing that into a means that will get me to writing, I'm seeing how that goes. Maybe you could approach the comic with more outlining? Outlining is a lot faster than page making, maybe it'll help you keep up momentum?

It's not that I can't imagine him as not sex-repulsed, but that I was wanting it to be clear he was ace. But it's not fair to him as a character to simplify him for the sake of being easily digestible to an audience who likely will not have much knowledge of the spectrum. He'll probably confuse people, but putting him into a neater box won't mean that will stop happening.

How do you outline? I'm not very familiar with writing techniques. I normally free style

    I'm relatively new to it as well, but I make a bullet point list. In this outline, I'm putting things in loose, big terms. It just describes big plot things, with any relevant notes if something doesn't make sense at face value. This creates a skeleton of sorts, acting like a guide to direct the creative process. Granted, there are a *lot* of ways to outline a story, depending on preference! Here's a link to a video with some different methods.

    If you want to put it in terms of the video, I'm between a timeline and a skeleton outliner. Doing this gets me excited to hit the plot points, and acts as a sort of motivation.
