#demiplatonic

[ryanyflags]

Aplatonic (apl for short) flags part 1 :3 ⭐️ (This set uses yellow, there's another set that uses green+blue+purple for apl instead.) (Due to the image limit, this is split into 4 posts.)

I noticed some a-spec flags were missing tertiary counterparts, so I made some. Some of these flags have already been made before, so they're not all original (I still wanted to have all the flags together in a set, and all in the same res).

I'll also note that some of these terms can have multiple names, with the "platonic", "aplatonic", & "apl" part being interchangeable. This isn't applicable to every term though. I also chose not to list everything to try to keep it brief. So for example, greyplatonic can also be called greyaplatonic and greyapl.

[A-spec flag sets masterpost]

[raineofthedragons]

Made a little comic for Valentine’s Day and how fricking tired I am of hearing nothing but love songs on the radio all day. Sorry the detail isn’t as much as usual, I just thought of it during school and wanted to post it as soon as I could.

Pride flags are (in order): (If any of these definitions are wrong/badly explained, please tell me, I’ll try to correct it as soon as possible)

Panel one: Aromantic- doesn’t experience romantic attraction; Asexual- doesn’t experience sexual attraction; Aplatonic- doesn’t experience platonic attraction; Agender- doesn’t have a gender

Panel two: Demiromantic- only experiences romantic atteaction after a strong emotional bond has been formed; Demisexual- only experiences sexual attraction after a strong emotional bond has been formed; Demiplatonic- only experiences platomic attraction after a strong emotional bond has been formed; Demigender- A gender in which someone is partially, but not fully, a given gender (often further split into demigirl, demiboy, etc.)

Panel three: Queerplatonic- a relationship blurs the lines between platonic and romantic, and prioritizes a platonic partnership over a romantic one; Cupiosexual/romantic (I looked it up and it seems like it’s the same flag for both, feel free to correct me in the notes)- does not experience sexual/romantic attraction, but desires a sexual/romantic relationship; Fraysexual/romantic (same deal as the cupio flag)- only experiences sexual/romantic attraction to those they don’t have a strong connection with, attraction will often decrease or disappear as they get to know the person better; Asensual- Does not experience sensual attraction

Panel four: Greyromantic- Relates to aromanticism, but feels that there are some parts of their experience that aren’t fully described by the word aromantic; Greysexual- Relates to asexuality, but feels that there are some parts of their experience that aren’t fully described by the word asexual; Greyplatonic-Relates to aplatonicism, but feels that there are some parts of their experience that aren’t fully described by the word aplatonic; Greygender- Gender identity is partially outside the binary, and has a strong ambivilance about their gender identity or expression

one thing I love about being non-binary but also aromantic, asexual, nonaesthetic, demiplatonic and demisensual is that the closest thing I have to thinking someone is hot is gender envy.

which means that if someone asked me to rank a load of pictures based on who's the least and most attractive I would literally just sort them from the most normal conventional looking (aka most fitting in with gender roles and most conventionally attractive for most people) people at the "least" end of the list and the most alt fashion androgynous weird-looking little gremlins for "most".

[questioning-aspec-culture-is]

what does platonic attraction feel like? how do i know if im experiencing it? also is greyplatonic or even demiplatonic a thing? how do they work?

hey! mod amaranth here

i found a handy reddit ask that you can peruse for some more in detail answers, but the general consensus on what platonic attraction feels like is a warmth or excitement over being with someone that lacks certain hallmarks of romantic attraction. personally, it's an urge to spend more time with someone, but without the urge for it to be romantic (although i don't feel romantic attraction, so)

being aplatonic is spectrum just like other parts of the aspec! so, yes, grayplatonic and demiplatonic are existing labels :)) i myself nebulously identify as demiplatonic!!

hope this helps! <3

demisexuals and demiromantics and demiplatonics and demiaesthetic and demisensual and demialterous and demiqueerplatonic and demi-anything people are so cool!!!! look at this post with your eyes if you agree :D

[aplatonic-culture-is]

Demiplationic culture is trying to have more friends, finding someone that you vibe with, but being weirded out your longtime friend automatically refer the new person as your friend. Excuse me, it took me 3 years to form platonic attraction to you, how do you expect me to immediately see them as my friend? Seems like uncomfortable speed dating.

Some aplatonic spectrum feelings.

Friendship is scary. Friendship can be important. Friendship means different things to different people. Do not toss aside others ways of handling it.

I hope I didn't get any wrong.

[our-aplatonic-experience]

I would be completely aplatonic (as in, no platonic attraction whatsoever) if it wasn't for my best friend. She's the only friend I can truly say I love and also the reason why I consider myself demiplatonic

Demi- + Nonbinary Combos!!

Demiattraction

Demiromantic | Demisexual | Demiaroace

Demisensual | Demiplatonic | Demialterous

Demiqueerplatonic | Demisocial | Demian

Requested by @wafflenati0n

They originally just requested a demisexual + nonbinary combo but I was bored so I made some with all demi- flags

[thetisming]

hi i'd like to say that not all aroapls are loveless

there's a big overlap in the loveless and aroapl community but not all of us are

i'm aromantic grey/demiplatonic and i love a lot of people and things

i love my mum i love my brother i love my cats and i love my friends

even if i wouldn't say im platonically attracted to all of them i still do love them and i use the word love to describe how i feel about them because i think it fits

i dont know what love really means and i think i mainly feel it for family but i do feel it and i do tell friends i love them because i do! attraction doesn't define love to me at all, it's just a feeling and it doesn't need a definition

there is NOTHING wrong with being loveless, but not all of us are

again, nothing wrong with being aroapl and loveless. at all. but some people might think all of us are and that just isnt true

(tumblr reading comprehension sucks so i just keep saying this)

[alien-ally]

the last thing i want happening if i come out as aplatonic (which takes immensely more than coming out as aro or ace) is to be erased to my face with something about friendship being very important and that i should really get out there and try it out and stop isolating myself or whatever. I am introverted, i get drained by social interactions a lot, even when I'm having a good time, i get quiet in between, for those reasons i do isolate myself. I am not good with approaching people and starting conversations or keeping them going most of the times as i usually have limited reactions and just humm most of the times. so i have to work my mind a mile an hour to make some comment or query to not seem too indifferent. overall I'm just very indifferent to friendship. significantly disinterested as compared to non-apl people. maybe it's cause i have not met very many people i truly connect with but maybe it's just the way i am. i usually have a lot to talk about topics and can go about it to other people if I'm feeling like it or if I'm 100% sure they're interested. But that doesn't happen all the time. rather, it happens quite rarely. eitherways it's hard for me to feel as intrigued/drawn in by other people. which i believe is a major factor of platonic attraction. there are several intersections between my introverted, reserved, private nature and my aplatonicity. both make it hard for me to function around people as friendship and enthusiasm for it comes as a natural expectation in the society. But I'm just a little too happy by myself most of the time, and that doesn't make a lot of sense to people. 2/10 times, when i want to do something out of it, my shell makes it hard for me to. As a result, there is a specific brand of isolation and loneliness i experience. Doesn't make me less aplatonic.

In any case I don't want to be erased to my face with some lame excuse about why you just cannot fully comprehend how someone could be this way when i come out to you.
