Written for Asexual Awareness Week 2021
“The information is there, Shiny, but so few want to know about it, or assume that everyone experiences the same things they do,”
This was the main issue that plagued the asexual community. Being swept under the rug, ignored, or treated as less than the thinking, feeling individuals they were. The misconceptions were rampant, misinformation widespread, and many, many people would rather condemn others than try to understand the nuance and differences that made them who they were.
So, Princess Cadance, openly vocal and proud about her asexuality, to the point of wearing clothes that matched the colours of the asexual flag, takes the first of many steps to try and educate ponydom and create a place where her and others like her can feel safe and accepted.
While set in the Mothling AU, this was written as a stand alone piece that does not require you to read the others in the series.
