aplatonicgryphon -> aplatonic-alpaca

The "gryphon" was always just a placeholder, borrowed from aro culture and bc I like fantasy creatures, but I wanted something more independently aplatonic and I like the way it sounds :)

Being aspec is so funny because I literally forget not everyone experiences and sees attraction (and, hence, attraction based experiences) the same as I do. And this goes especially for fandom.

Like, I'd see a sort of trend(??) in a fandom space, particularly with shipping, and think: "This doesn't make sense, attraction isn't that simple/doesn't work like that." "No that character isn't in love with that one because they find them aesthetically attractive. They still don't know anything about them or their personality!"

And, then I realise,,

most of these folks are allo.

For most of these folks, attraction does work like that and is that simple.

There's folks that do fall in love just from being aesthetically attracted/without knowing the individual(s) or their personality well. (I assume this stuff would entail things like 'hallway crushes' and 'airport crushes'... whatever those are...)

There's folks out there that are just like that.

And I'm not! And I forget that I'M an outlier.

afamilial, aplatonic, aromantic, asexual, and agender people really just said "nah bro" and i have a lot of respect for that

less characters who are in platonic or familial relationships, more characters who are just Neighbors. They're around each other, they're civil/polite, they're company and whatever they got it's helpful and reciprocal but if you called them friends they'd do that "ehh" noise and say "well not really"

Being allofam while being aplaroace + having family trauma is like... you are really into apples but you're never into any other fruits, but you've also been allergic to apples since a child. So you kinda just... crave apple pie, apple juice, etc in media and in other situations in life where you fantasize that you're finally be able to consume apples in a healthy way, but like, you feel like you're stuck being allergic bc nobody wants to give you the vaccine.

I'm not that in the cookie run fandom but I headcanon shadow milk as aplatonic or at least aplatonic spec it can be one of the reasons why he pushes everyone away same with his minnions he cares for candy apple and black sapphire but he doesn't feel platonic attraction towards them

[the-self-ish-voib]

take my vent art because we didn't get the chance to realize we were aplatonic soon enough and being aspec and not knowing it can be genuinely traumatizing but i think this one specifically was the worst for us

[gayfrogswithhats]

Computer how do I tell if I'm experiencing attraction when I'm both aromantic and aplatonic so I don't even know what attraction feels like
