Having no idea why everyone is always so incredibly upset when they shoot their shot with someone sexually/romantically and they get rejected despite having RSD and knowing full well that rejection hurts until you realize….you’re akiosexual 😭

Lithromantic

Voting ended onMay 26

MUTOLIC Definition: Mutolic, also spelt as Mutalic, is a Juvelic Orientation umbrella term for those who are in a plural system, and one or more of their headmates are attracted to other headmate(s) of a specific gender(s), and is abbreviated as ATLAT (alter loving alter) or HLH (headmate loving headmate). This term is used to specify the relationship between the headmates that are in said Mutolic relationship. The system's headmate may be attracted to any gender(s). This term is specific to those who have DID, OSDD or other forms of systems that prefer to use this over any other than other Juvelic orientations. This system may be useful for systemfluid individuals. Flag creator: Zer0Rebel4 (2021) Colour meanings: Mint = the gender of the specific headmates that are in a relationship, pine = Juvilic orentation, and the Lotus flower = DID, OSDD, and/or any other systems.

LITHROMANTIC Definition: Lithromantic (also called akoiromantic, akioromantic, or lithoromantic) is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. Someone who is lithromantic may experience romantic attraction but does not want it reciprocated. The lithromantic individuals may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being romantically attracted to them, or they may lose their romantic feelings if they learn it's reciprocated. As such, lithromantics do not feel compelled to seek out a romantic relationship. Like with any romantic orientation, lithromantics can have any sexual orientation. Some things lithromantics may experience: 1) Feeling romantic attraction that fades upon being reciprocated, 2) Fantasizing about being in a romantic relationship with someone, but preferring the relationship in theory rather than in reality, 3) Feeling discomfort when being in a romantic relationship with one they're romantically attracted to, 4) Experiencing romantic attraction but not wanting it reciprocated, 5) Feeling romantically attracted to someone, but losing interest in the potential partner/relationship when it becomes a reality. Lithromantic can be a romantic orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be lithromantic and biromantic, meaning that when one does experience romantic attraction it's towards individuals of any gender, ranging from 2 to all genders.

[saminthecan]

complaint for the lgbtq community

hello 🙏

why does lithromanticism / akioromanticism have two separate words and two completely different definitions yet it is still classified as one identity? one may feel as though they cannot comfortably adopt the label due to the need to specify which definition they identify with. one may feel attraction whilst not desiring a relationship, yet cannot efficiently articulate that with a label because it is also attached to “feelings fade upon reciprocation” which is completely different if thing if you ask them, and vice versa. Would it hurt to separate them into two different labels, or make a new one? Asking for a friend of course

the title is /j. just a shower thought

and before you ask I’m completely aware of the flexibility of labels, such as bisexuality, but. Idk?? This one feels different to me. Maybe I’m wrong for that. Change my mind i guess haha

edit: What I’m trying to say is you can have no desire for an explicit relationship but that doesn’t mean that you stop being attracted to that person once your feelings are reciprocated. I feel really microlabel-y

[hideinmyshadow]

I just came across akio/lithromanticism and suddenly every weird sorta crush I have ever had makes complete sense, it’s all about the fantasy.

No seriously, I got asked out by one of my crushes and was really confused why I felt nothing over it and then turned them down despite still having those feelings.

[backgroundhorses-remade]
