1	Web series originally on Website/YouTube but now exclusively on blip.tv at http://blip.tv/homoromanticace. A rather informal but heartfelt vlog-cum-informational-series made by a young woman who identifies as a lesbian asexual in an attempt to educate the Interweb masses on asexuality.

6	* BeYourself: Invoked in “Asexuality and Mental Illness” and “Here’s to a New Year/It Gets Better”.
7	* BerserkButton: Do NOT tell her asexuality is a disorder, or that she hasn’t met the right person yet. It might be the last thing you ever do.
8	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: From the summary of “Thoughts on Jonah Mowry and Kyra”: “Homophobia, asshattery, or homophobic asshattery”.
9	* BrokenBird: She comes off as this somewhat during “Asexuality and Mental Illness”. And a bunch of the other videos, really.
10	* BuffySpeak: Sometimes this happens, since her vlogs are unscripted.
11	* ClusterFBomb: Her reaction to Emilie Autumn’s Tweet that not only claimed that not only was EA not asexual, but implied that asexuals could be fixed by being with a skilled lover.

13	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hinted at in “Asexuality and Mental Illness”.

19	* LipstickLesbian: Actually, she identifies as a “Chapstick Lesbian”.
20	* MetalHead: She positively adores Otep, and has used Nightwish (power metal) and Three Days Grace (alt-metal/post-grunge) music in other videos.

25	* PrecisionFStrike: The intro to her “It Gets Better” video has a few mild, humorous curses and one Precision F-Strike of “Middle school and high school fuckin’ suck”. And then in the meat of it, we get “[Visibility] isn’t easy. It’s hard. It’s really ''fucking'' hard.”
26	* SelfBackingVocalist: She does this in her queerness-related filk of the Christmas song “Pat-a-Pan”.
