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. |
2 | ----- |
3 | * AbusiveParents: Mentioned with increasing frequency. |
4 | * {{Angrish}}: Sometimes when she’s really pissed off, she’ll just stutter angrily for a bit. |
5 | * AllWomenArePrudes: Lambasted in “All Women Are Not Demi”. |
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. |
12 | ** Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck! ''FUCK!'' |
13 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Hinted at in “Asexuality and Mental Illness”. |
14 | * {{Determinator}}: Her attitude toward asexual visibility. |

16 | * EpicRocking: For Valentine’s Day, she wrote a song for her girlfriend that clocks in at 7 minutes 31 seconds. |
17 | * FacePalm: She does this often when confronted with things that ignorant people say about asexuality. |
18 | * {{Infodump}}: The first two installments. She even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it. |
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. |

22 | * QueerRomance: Both she and her girlfriend are homoromantic asexuals. |

24 | * PowerTattoo: She has a gorgeous tattoo on her right hip that reads “indomitable spirit”, which was a promise in permanent ink to herself to never cut herself again. |
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”. |
