she is in romo with a rabbit because he makes her laugh and aside from using her looks to get things out of people she literally never once shows interest in anything or anyone sexually through the entire movie and is clearly appalled when anyone makes advances towards her like there is canonical evidence that jessica rabbit from the classic motion picture who framed rogger rabbit is an asexual character
I am here as fuck for this. Jessica Rabbit for new asexual icon.
“She can’t be asexual because she’s hot tho”
“I can only see her as a sexual object so I can’t imagine her not wanting to have sex with me.”
I’ve always remembered the line “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way” as Jessica’s admission that while sexualized, she isn’t inherently a sexual entity.
I mean hell, literally, her line before is “You don’t know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.”, to which Eddie responds; “You don’t know how hard it is being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.”
I think that’s pretty damning evidence to her asexuality. The whole plot point with Jessica is how everyone is either convinced she’s sleeping with every human and toon around, or why does she stay faithful to Roger.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit does a great job at satirizing Hollywood/American culture and ideals when it comes to appearances. It also does a great job at hiding some really well thought out challenges to how we look at others in plain sight.
I completely believe that Jessica Rabbit is an asexual romantic (hetero/bi/pan/etc not sure, and to be honest, I don’t know if that part is important, as she’s married to the toon she loves).
I LOVE this headcanon ❤
This is important!
This headcanon is just so perfect I had to draw it

YEEEESSS
I haven’t seen this post in a thousand years and it’s gotten EVEN MORE EXCELLENT.
Banoffee pie – What’s your romantic orientation? Well, until recently I’d been sure I’m heteroromantic. I’ve started to question it, however, and came to the conclusion that I’m biromantic. With a preference for masculine-presenting people, yeah, but still bi.
Donut – Ever faked a crush? Actually, yeah, in primary school. The girls were all having their first crushes and I was like “yeah this guy is great he’s a good friend”. So when we were having those profound discussions at some sleepover and someone asked me “who do you like”, nobody believed me when I said “no one”. I had to make sth up and so I just named my closest friend back then.
Black Forest cake – Ever had a crush? Write about it. Oh mate. I had such a big crush on this guy in high school. He was one of those people who find time for everything, you know? He had lots of friends, spoke at least four languages besides our native tongue, played the saxophone, volunteered at a children hospital and became school president later. He also had the most beautiful sea green eyes and cute curly hair. I’ve fallen head over heels for him. Even tried to chat him up, but I was rejected right from the get-go, so, welp. Nothing really happened. Oh, one more thing – before he became president, he’d said that he thought about turning a hall in our school into the Gryffindor common room. My crush just increased exponentially upon hearing that.
Fruitcake – Favourite ace-related pun or joke at the moment? I’m quite fond of the plural noun someone suggested for us – a deck of aces ❤ also Katniss being aro/ace because she’s an arrow ace.
Chiffon cake – Favourite song with no sexual/romantic themes at the moment?
Actually, right now it’s probably Here Comes a Thought. I didn’t think it was possible to calm down so much by listening to one song, and yet I was proved wrong.
