#polyplatonic

[noa-de-cajou]

I'm aro/ace and in a polyplatonic relationship. And once I was asked "but if you don't have sex what's the point?" (I kid you not)

The point is. Sex is not the only form of intimacy or love you can experience. Sex is not the point of a relationship.

"I found this tiktok that reminds me of you" (I care)

"Oh you like [thing] right?" (I care)

"Hey I researched your disorder/disability/problem the other night but can I ask you for precisions?" (I care)

"LOOK LOOK LOOK AT MY NEW OUTFIT I FEEL SO GOOD IN IT" (I care)

"You want it. No no no, I know you want it. I'm buying it for you." (I care)

"I know it's been months but I finally listened to that album you recommended" (I care)

"Do you have a comfort food?" (I care)

"YO BITCH WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR. FOR WORK PURPOSES." (I care)

"Yeah your jokes are dumb but I like them" (I care)

"Can I kiss you? Only if you're comfortable." (I care)

"I miss you" (I care)

"Let's do [chore] together!" (I care)

"Okay so. I know it's not your birthday. BUT I just happened to pass by that store-" (I care)

That's it. That's what the point is to me. Those can be found in any relationship of any kind. And that's what matters to me.

The little things that say I care about you, I care what you think of me, I care what we do together, I care about how you feel with me, I care I care I care I care.

I don't want sex. I don't even want romantic love.

I want care.

I'm having an aroace/queerplatonic crisis. I'm in a qpr and I love the person I'm with more than life, but I'm getting feelings for another person. And it's like I want them both ohmygodohmygodohmygod because they're both so cute and lovely and wonderful and smart and funny and just light up my day and I could talk to them all night long and completely ignore my own needs just to be with them. But one is my friend who I'm unsure is willing to be in a qpr, and they're also seeing someone (they are polyam though). And then I don't know if my current partner wants to be open. It's a confusing time to be alive.

poly positivity

it’s my 100th post so.  hey, my fellow polyams! you’re valid. you are valid whether you’re only currently dating one person or if you’re not dating anyone at all. you’re valid even if sometimes it can be stressful and being poly makes you doubt yourself. you’re valid even if you’re too scared to ask out that other person you like. you’re valid even if you’re not sure if a poly relationship would work for you right now. 

poly relationships are beautiful. they are not just threesomes or “a kink thing” or groups of friends or inherently abusive/ problematic. all forms of poly relationships are beautiful. are you in a polycule with everyone dating each other? valid. open relationship? valid. dating people that aren’t dating each other? valid. 

poly people, you are so loved and i am so proud of you all. the kind of openness and communication that we commit to is so underrated and if nobody has appreciated how incredible you are for it, i’m doing it now! 

also, shoutout to asexual poly people, or polyplatonic people. polyamory is not inherently sexual! if you have multiple qpps but don’t feel like a romantic partner is your thing or you have both, you’re still a valid polyamorous person. 

also shoutout to aromantic poly people! or just aspec in general (like me :D) lets fuck with the relationship norms together my brethren

of course i must also take this moment to give a heartfelt thanks to my two beautiful, incredible, precious partners. (even though theyre not allowed to see my tumblr yet its too chaotic fklgjdflkgjf)

al, i love you. thank you for always being there for me even when i am freaking the fuck out about someone i like, and reminding me that i am seen and that you will support me no matter how it goes. i owe so much to you, my love, and you have made so many difficult, confusing days better. i can’t wait to finally meet you. i love you so much and i am so proud of you <33

mads, you are incredible and i am so lucky to have you. you make me feel so loved and every day that i get to see you everything feels brighter. you are so beautiful and sweet and you make me so fucking happy. thanks for everything, sweetheart. love ya <3 :)

and of course my qpps!

PLUM. YOU’RE POGCHAMP AND I CANNOT BELIEVE WEVE BEEN QPPS FOR SIX MONTHS WHAT THE FUCK???? you are my best friend and the best ever. i love you my guy

lamppppp your sense of humor and everything about you just makes you so incredible to talk to. thanks for sitting on call with me while i impulsively shaved my head, it was awesome to have you there. love youuu

and finally, my platonic partner chara. 

i have always loved you and i will always love you. i can’t imagine a world without you in my life. thank you. 

MY FELLOW POLY PEOPLE. go tell your partner(s) that you love them. if you don’t have any partners, appreciate your friends today. we have so much love to give and i think that makes us really cool.

Extraordinary Polyaffectionate

Disclaimer: this is a model of relationship that I created myself and have followed for many years in my life. if you think it doesn’t make sense, simply don’t use it!

Check this post to understand it Also

This is type of polyaffectionate relationship where one member has an immutable personality, and the new members have to change their old personality and do whatever the main member wants to enter the relationship. Once they have done all of that they start to feel deeply connected to each other, and that connection is called love, this is a platonic relationship that's why it is polyaffectionate instead of polyamorous. the structure is composed of a central member with a born-in personality, and the other members, but that doesn't mean that the central member is more loved or superior to others. This relationship doesn't have a limit of members and can be considered a subtype of Group Relationships.

[The personality I described isn’t how most people think of it, your behaviors opinions, and attitudes but feeling yourself, deeper than anything in your brain, and always present but invisible, same for your heart, that make members connected, and friends with each other.]

Flag inspired on my polyaffectionate flag. Red blue and black from polyamorous flag, green represents aromantic people, yellow for platonic relationships, and baby pink for love between members. The central circle with other circles represents the relationship structure.

aroace questioning polyam culture is having multiple qp crushes and realizing this probably isn't the typical experience

It's our first evening together

Just the two of us

We sit on your couch

We walk in the rain

(I turn off the lights in my room)

That one song I wanted to show you since forever starts playing

Our glasses clink in the empty restaurant

(The false stars from my projector illuminate my ceiling)

And then

You smile

(So fucking wide)

And I just watch you hoping that I can

Show you every song I ever heard

Bring you to every restaurant I ever ate at

(Buy every fake star for you to gaze at)

For every day of the rest of our lives.

My love is something other

It may not be romantic

But it still shines on all your teeth.

having a queerplatonic partner is great because whenever I say “no homo” I mean it in the gayest way possible

should be saying “no romo”

[genderish-criminal]

GUYS!!!!!!!! MY PARTNER SAID WE CAN HAVE A POLY RELATIONSHIP AND THEN I CONFESSED TO MY FRIEND AND HE LIKES ME TOO AND HE SENT A MESSAGE TO HIS BOYFRIEND AND THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT HE'LL BE OKAY WITH IT SO WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THAT TO BE COMPLETELY OFFICIAL BUT LIKE YAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAYY!!!!!!!!

fuck relationship norms pass it on

[theartofeverything]

Not quite sure what to call them. Leoraisagi?

I went back and forth over putting an Usagi in the story but this idea hit me at around 1am and made me feel genuinely warm inside for the first time in weeks.

I love the idea of the three of them traveling around together in their twenties, living out of a hippy van, off on their own kind of adventure. Best friends? Quest partners? Queer platonic? Whatever it is they are, it’s got the closeness of bffs that share all their most precious secrets, the humor and playfulness of brothers, the trust and commitment of comrads in arms, and the emotional intimacy of a couple that’s been married for years.
