last night I set out to plan a short comic exploring an important conversation Dom and Tadeo had prior to officially beginning their relationship, buuuut the whole thing just got out of hand. The conversation ended up dragging on, delving into Dom’s feelings of inadequacy (and later guilt) over his past relationship with Leah, and Tadeo being worried and doubtful that Dom could be happy with him. Tadeo enjoys sex and intimacy but fears putting Dom in a position where Dom feels obligated to engage in it.

The entire convo also started digging into discussion of boundaries and sex acts and fantasies that I ended up feeling weren’t really appropriate for a (mostly) sfw patreon. The gist of it is that Dom is a sex-neutral ace, he proposes he would like to, in time, explore sexual intimacy with Tadeo. Tadeo is resistant to Dom wanting to do this for his sake while not getting much out of it in return, Dom argues that he would indeed feel a satisfaction from fulfilling Tadeo’s physical needs and being intimate together, then they both get flustered from the conversation and agree to take things slow. It’s a scene I may explore again later, for now I decided to only clean up and post the first part of their conversation cuz I thought it was cute. :3 Tadeo is a lil shit sometimes, Dom likes it more than he lets on

I feel like this is an aspect of being ace that’s not addressed much. (To clarify, I’m not ace, but have an ace partner.) A lot of (though not all of course) asexual people like and enjoy sex. Because it just physically feels good. They just don’t have *sexual attraction*. I appreciate seeing that portrayed somewhat here!

I love the thin, crayon-like brush you used for this, makes this soft scene even softer! 💜 Also, I love these two more and more every time I see them, we love healthy supportive communication in this house. 👌🏽

God this is literally so healing for me to see. My partner and I are both neutral- positive ace and have had similar conversations about these things. It's so nice to see it represented like this ;v;

Im super happy to see this part of an ace relationship explored! I'm demisexual myself, but my best friend is a sex-neutral ace and she's more than happy to do things her partner enjoys but she'd rather have like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies

Tadeo is the non-ace partners of our dreams. He's so considerate--he deserves a boop on his precious snoot.

As a sex neutral ace myself i really like this concept! its nice to see more stories exploring the nuances of asexuality and its impact on relationships. my biggest fandom has a canonically ace character, but his exact flavor of asexuality is ambiguous since the podcast is a supernatural horror drama and it’s not really relevant - but the fandom (which has a sizable ace population) has so many different interpretations of him and what he’s comfortable with. The Magnus Archives fanfic is the one place I’ve found where ive seen so much variation and nuance in depiction of asexuality, and it’s lovely to see that reflected in fuzzbutts as well! i would love to see dom and tadeo’s full conversation about sexuality and intimacy :)

Thank you! :D This isn't part of their official canon conversation, but have a bit of silliness: Tadeo: I just don't wanna scare you off! People get this idea in their heads that since I'm a little herbivore, all I want is innocent hand-holding and shy glances and- Dom: Tadeo. Buddy. I've read your fanfics. Tadeo, turning bright red: ....Oh. Oh, dear. Dom: Yeah. Tadeo, weakly: T-Then....then you read the parts about- Dom: Lord Sabretooth? Tadeo: *sigh* .....and his loyal jester, Tinytrunk. Ah geez. *wringing hands* I guess I wasn't as subtle as I thought... Dom: Oh not at ALL, dude. Stellar plotline though. Everytime you update, I settle in with a bowl of fish crackers. Really looking forward to chapter eighteen. Tadeo: *dumb flattered grin* Uh, well...if you're up for it....maybe I could get started writing soon, if I had the right inspiration...ah ha, w-within your comfort level, of course… Dom, grinning back: Well...if chapter six is anything to go by, we both know Lord Sabre would do anything for Tinytrunk....*pulls off shirt* Tadeo, reverently: ....Meu deus. Or maybe I'll never find time to write again. ❤️

The Magnus Archives is one of the best written pieces of media I've encountered. But yeah, I suppose cosmic horrors don't leave much time for discussion of nuances of sexuality.

Now that Patreon is nsfw…any chance to revisit this 👀
