Loveful Terms, Part 1
Pt: Loveful Terms, Part 1 /End Pt
So some time ago, we stumbled across the term Loveful Aro, and eventually Loveful and Loveful Alloro. All of which are terms we/I really enjoy, and find helpful. And I had some times on my hand, so I figured I'd make some more terms related to other attractions, as well as redesign the flags that already exist just to be a little easier on the eyes for us at least.
(General) Loveful v1, v2
ID: Two Flags, both with nine stripes. The first flag's colours from top to bottom are a medium brownish red, medium light orange, light yellow, extra light yellow, medium desaturated seafoam, light lilac, light medium lilac, medium pink-purple, and dark medium pink-purple. The second flag's colours from top to bottom are a dark maroon, medium maroon, light maroon, extra light yellow, medium desaturated seafoam, light lilac, light maroon, medium maroon, and dark maroon. /End ID
Loveful was originally coined by @daybringersol on march 21st, 2024 here (link). It was coined to mean "a term for people who feel non-romantic love too intensely and/or express it in ways too intimate for amatonormative standards.", and was made as a counterpart to the Loveless terms.
However, for the use of this post, it covers both romantic, and non-romantic. It is meant to be a general term that doesn't specify, it is purposefully vague. This is because later terms focus on having "too much/intense" love in ways that aren't non-romantic, such as non-familial, non-sensual, and non-emotional. Furthermore for the uses of this post, when referring to Loveful, we mean "experiencing love too intensely and/or expressing it in ways too intimate for amatonormative standards." If it has a prefix relating to a type of attraction, or specifically denoting a lack of love in an attractional sphere, the definition would look something like the following: "experiencing non-sensual love too intensely and/or expressing it in ways too intimate for amatonormative standards."
Overall our flags here are meant to give space for people who feel their love is "too much". Whether that be because of the type of relationship they're in, because of a disordered connection, trauma telling them their expression is wrong, or simply just how someone expresses their affection. "Non-" can be replaced with "A/An" (ex: Non-Romantic with Aromantic, Non-Alterous with Analterous). However we chose "Non-" to be more inclusive of both allospecs and aspecs at once, since the line is often messy.
