qpr (queer platonic rivalry)
a QPR is a QPR because the individuals in it decided it is. not because friends ‘don’t live together and kiss eachother,’ or ‘because friendships aren’t this committed.’ that’s not how this works. friends can do anything and as long as they have the intent for friendship, it’s a friendship. you can defend QPR’s without pushing amatonormativity.
what to call an alterous relationship that you don't want to call queerplatonic because that term carries a lot of assumptions that make you uncomfortable
FUCK i gotta change this theme it is ugly!!!
i think asexuals and aros who have sexual/romantic relationships are cool and based actually
I could write 20 pages against exclusionist arguments but nothing I could say would be as efficient as this
[ID: a reddit comment by @/tomohawk12345 that reads:
"this sexual minority isn't part of the sexual minority group" 🤓🤓

(aromantic spectrum, aromantic, gray aromantic, and demiromantic pride flags with text that says "the aromantic spectrum is real and beautiful")
qprs can be whatever you want them to be, actually.
your love for this person is kinda “in between” romantic and platonic and you want a word for it? sure, call it queerplatonic. you feel like your relationship is closer to either platonic or romantic but not Exactly it, so you want to call it something else? queerplatonic is here for you, too. it’s basically just like any other friendship except it’s committed and so you want another term for that? queerplatonic works!
same thing applies for alterous relationships. the whole point of these definitions was to find a way out of the romantic-platonic binary. (and hell, you can still be in that binary and not “conform” to what it generally entails in society.)
Shout out to the nonbinaries who feel it's straight no matter who is dating them. Shout out to the nonbinaries who feel it's gay no matter who dates them. Shout-out to the aromantic nonbinaries who do not date anyone. Shout-out to nonbinaries who do not feel love! I love it when we mess with gender and orientation constructs like that.
Ultra delayed post for Aro Awareness Week a while back bc I haven’t been on tumblr in a while, but hopefully this resonates in a few of you too!!
No, you don't understand. When I say I experience platonic attraction it isn't the "wanting to be friends with someone uwu~" some of y'all always describe...
To me, platonic attraction feels like a yearning to become close with a friend I've known for a while and slowly our friendship will become stronger to the point where sharing our lives together won't feel like a burden. A yearning to share every part of myself with them, to be affectionate and it doesn't feel weird, to share our secrets and stories, to talk for hours while stargazing and to visit places around town together and connect emotionally; it is a yearning to be together and this is not romantic at all.
For me, platonic attraction is important and I decide to include it in my identity 💞

this pride do not let allo cishets sanitize or regulate how you celebrate pride month. don’t support any of those bullshit corporations and buy from locally owned queer businesses. and focus on being yourselves and promoting your community, while bringing light to many real issues that we are continuously facing every day.
