Uilromantic! (Aka that label I’ve been cooking up)

Colour meanings:

black - nothingness

green - aromanticism

white - once

red - love

reddish brown - owls

Uilromantic (Dutch/Afrikaans word for owl + romantic) is a label for those who only ever feel romantic attraction for one person and that one person only

“Why owls though?” Owls only mate once! :)

might be a bit confusing but hey, it feels right for me

Anvilromantic

Anvilromantic, also known as forgeromantic or smithromantic, is an aromantic spectrum label, similar to platoniromantic, that can be use to describe an obvious or partially obvious difference in the emotional feelings one obtains alongside platonic and romantic attraction, but it is impossible or difficult to determine which is which.

The Flag

(Best viewed in dark mode)

Made using colors picked from the following blacksmithing image, the Anvilromantic flag has an additional, white stripe at the bottom and an anvil logo to differentiate it from the flag of the European nation of Germany.

How to know if you're Anvilromantic

Can you feel a difference in attraction when you feel attracted to different people, and if so, can you tell which is platonic and which is romantic?

If you said "yes" to the first question and "no" or "sometimes" to the second, then congratulations! You're eligible to use the Anvilromantic label!
