Daria Morgendorffer: The Ace-Coded Icon I Never Knew I Needed
When I think about asexual representation in media, the first character that always comes to mind is Daria Morgendorffer. Watching Daria for the first time felt like staring into a mirror—her cynicism, her sharp wit, and her disinterest in romantic entanglements echoed so much of what I had felt my whole life. She wasn’t detached or emotionless, she simply didn’t care about the things that seemed to consume everyone else around her—things like dating and sex. For the first time, I saw a character who reflected the way I move through the world, and it was profoundly validating. It was in Daria Season 1, Episode 13 "The Misery Chick" that I realized Daria was a character I didn't know I needed; she's not a misery chick, she just not quick to emotions like most people are, and that's okay.

A Lesson on Pride and Relationships. AI-Generated.
In a world where marriages and relationships are often tested, it’s easy to let pride, anger, or outside influence seep in and wreak havoc. Recently, I came across a story shared by Emeka Miky Oduije that deeply touched me. It’s the story of a divorced mother, now 32 years old, who opened up about the mistakes she made in her marriage, hoping her experience would encourage others to cherish and protect their relationships.

Breaking Society's Dark Mirror
The Killer … The Villain … The Peado … The Joke … That’s how I saw any representations of people like me for the majority of my life, even as a little kid. I didn’t know how to explain to anyone how I felt, so to be fair I didn’t always see trans women characters in the media as a representation of me so to speak … because for a while I didn’t know what the words were … I just felt like a girl, but I was told I was a boy and needed to watch ‘boy shows’ - but secretly, this gal always preferred to watch She-Ra over He-Man … but one show that was called a ‘boy show’ I loved was The Transformers (three guesses why lol!)

Represented
I clearly recall the moment I truly recognised myself in a fictional character. I was browsing Netflix while lounging on my couch when I saw The Get Down. I was drawn in by the show's lively energy, but Shaolin Fantastic, one of the main characters, truly captured my attention. Something about him struck a deep chord with me, whether it was his hustle, his confidence, or his love of music.
