Expanding Asexual Identity Language

I love being part of a community that keeps developing cooler and cooler language to describe itself. I found this list which came from a community of Aces in the Philippines on Facebook and was really impressed by all the experiences that are described. 

If you are part of the Ace family here are some terms that you might find are a good fit. And if none of these fit or no combo of these fit that just means we have to come up with even more cool words and cool language for you to use.

I would say I'm clearly Ace (Asexual) 
Not sure exactly where I fall on the romantic spectrum maybe demiquoifictoromantic(ish) 

If I over time develop romantic feelings (or what I think might be romantic feelings I am never sure what makes something "romantic." When exactly does a cup of tea, someone holding space for you, or giving chocolate switch over to romantic?) they are for fictional characters (or real people who become characters in my head, often through their characters)

So if you are a fictional character who catches my eye beware you may be hanging out with me in my daydreams or mental fanfiction drinking tea, reading books, and talking about many things:

Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —
Of cabbages — and kings —
And why the sea is boiling hot —
And whether pigs have wings*
Of mental health and time travel
And neurodiversity and other superpowers

(The Walrus and the Carpenter Launch Audio by Lewis Carroll)
