Commander Holly looks lately like a depressed tired mother to 12 children 

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that. I think Arin is sucking out Holly and Ross’s will to live and using it to grow hid beard.

Holly has all the birds to take care of so the mother thing’s not far off.

Ross has hay fever and it’s allergy season.

“asexual characters are so boring! no-one would want to read/watch something with an asexual main character!”

huh.

The protagonist of literally the most successful manga series ever is asexual. 

I’m actually really surprised that this is the first I’ve ever heard of this?

Friendly reminder that someone’s personality is not justified by their sexuality.

Friendly reminder that you don’t need a romantic/sexual (sub)plot to write a successful story.
