Aspec Glossary: QPR

What is the Aspec Glossary?

A QPR (queerplatonic relationship) is a type of relationship that does not conform to typical expectations for a romantic relationship. Aspec folks are often in QPRs, but they are not exclusive to aspecs. Anyone can be in a queerplatonic relationship.

What exactly a QPR looks like is determined by the people in that relationship, but, in general, it is a platonic relationship with the same level of intimacy and commitment that is typically expected of a romantic relationship, but without feelings of romantic love.

A queerplatonic relationship is called such because it "queers" what is expected of a platonic relationship.

QPRs are no less important than romantic relationships, just different. The terms of the relationship are defined only by the people in the relationship. In this sense, QPR is an umbrella term for a whole host of relationships, wherein, typically, the only stipulation is that it does not involve romantic love or involves romantic love in a non-normative way.

QPRs may look like platonic marriages, friends with benefits, etc.

No two QPRs are the same. In some ways, a QPR is moreso a category of relationship.

I’m a patron of the arts (I leave nice comments on aO3).

“Please consider how amatonormativity/compulsory sexuality/allonormativity might be impacting your perspective on this” is not at all the same thing as insulting someone, attacking them, or calling them a bigot, FYI.

I think there's something that needs to be said about encouraging readers to leave feedback.

For me it's not about "tell me my writing is amazing and stroke my ego"

It's more about "please engage with me so that I can experience your joy secondhand and foster a connection with you"

I understand that not everyone wants this in their reading experience, some people are shy and a million other reasons why maybe someone wouldn't want to engage and that's perfectly fine!

But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

On encouraging reblogs —

I understand that not everyone is comfortable reblogging, especially explicit content. This is ok!

But just consider that the only reason you were able to enjoy a fic or fanart is because someone else shared it, and by not sharing it yourself you are potentially robbing someone else of the opportunity to enjoy it as much as you did.

As OPs our reach only goes so far and this website relies on reblogs in order for anything to truly get seen by a wider audience.

So that's really it! That's why I encourage these two things at the end of every story I post. Not because I'm trying to be demanding and "make people feel bad" if they don't do it.

I know most other social media sites encourage mindless content consumption and that's just the way of the world nowadays, but I am from a time when community was at the heart of fandom and I just don't want to lose that.

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

werewolfetone

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

angel-derangement

I hate it too tbh

#ötzi the iceman #I'm obsessed with this #prehistory is so important to me

honestly "oracle that nobody believes" is such a solid trope. imagine trying to convince anybody in 2006 what the next two decades was gonna look like
