btw not all affectionate friendships are queerplatonic. platonic is not the same as queerplatonic. you can have a good friendship with someone and even cuddle and kiss and get married and have a child together and it can still be platonic (as in neither queerplatonic nor romantic). let people love deeply without requiring them to make it about partnership

they could be weird and aspec about each other on the emotional side of things. if youre enlightened.

If you don't want a QPR, then that's okay. I see you, too.

You might be aqueerplatonic, aka aquaplatonic. I think a lot of aspec discussion is on QPRs, which is fine. But I also think we need to acknowledge it can create a certain pressure. I saw so many posts about QPRs that I felt like I was supposed to have one. People talk about them like its something everyone who's aspec experiences.

But not every aspec will experience it! And that should be seen as okay! When I learned aquaplatonic was a label, it made me feel better about myself. You don't need to have a special someone, regardless of romance or not. If you just have friends, that's okay. If you don't even want friends, that's okay. Don't force yourself into a type of relationship you don't want to have!

(This is not an attack on QPRs or the community in general. This is something I just feel like needs to be said and isn't talked about much.)

Pararelational / Relationless / Arelational attraction (label concept)

(Pararel, Relless, or Arel Attraction for short)

Flag concept 1 and Flag concept 2

Description:

a nonromantic, nonsexual, nonplatonic, non queerplatonic, non alterous, nonsensual, nonaesthetic type of attraction. (jfc I know thats many words. I just mean it has nothing to do with those things)

an attraction that could involve wanting to know a lot about a person you admire, without any desire to end up in any form of relationship with them (for any reason!)

Does not necessarily mean you're not open to a form of relationship

similar with regular admiration but exceeds it due to a curiosity for someone's life

could behave what a crush conventionally is like to others, but isn't a crush

Does not necessarily involve idolizing or putting someone on a pedestal

not inherently creepy

does not mean you're uncaring towards them

it could come alongside other forms of attraction

Flag concept 1 and Flag concept 2 explanations

White - symbolizes awe, intrigue, and enchantment. also symbolizes distilled/or pure intrigue without any form of interaction/relationship based attraction and independence from other forms of attraction. The white stripe is the attraction shining through the barrier

Black - symbolizes barriers / block from relationships or contact with the person. Black also symbolizes how the white attraction is framed in an A-spec context (black is a color used in most a-spec flags)

Gray - a shadow, represents avoiding unwanted attention.

Intentionally similar to the non-partnering flag

and i added a face because why not lol

Propeestplatonic, Propeestalterous, Propeestsensual, Propeestaquaplatonic, and Propeestqueerplatonic Alt. Flags

Propeest- : An aspec identity which feels like a mix of many (any more than two aspec identities) that all are a part of your identity. From the Latin words “prope est” (meaning close to).

In order, each aspec identity is Aplatonic, Non/Analterous, Asensual, Aquaplatonic, and Aqueerplatonic.

Using my Propeestsexual / Propeestace and Propeestromantic / Propeestaro flag layouts but for the other existing Propeest- terms (plus Aquaplatonic) with flags!

I tried to blend and darken each color on the flags to get one (or in Propeestaqp's case, two) unified color(s) for each identity.

Possible alternative names for each (in order) are Propeestapl, Propeestnonalt, Propeestnonalt, Propeestasen, Popeestaquapla, and Propeestaqp.

Help with ALT text appreciated!
