My attempt to explain the Split Attraction Model succinctly.

Funny writing idea: challenge the idea of amatonormativity by creating a “will-they-won’t-they” scenario where the characters aren’t romantically nor sexually involved, but merely stradding the line between platonic and alterous attraction…

…With the climax involving (gasp) hand-holding that’s utterly platonic because the characters involved agreed that it is!

A metaphor for my aegosexuality: it’s like making a thanksgiving-style turkey. I may fantasize about turkeys, I may look at pictures of turkeys, but as soon as I look at a recipe, the steps are absolutely daunting. Even if I find someone to help me actually pull it off, it’s still daunting due to all the communication!

And for what purpose is this turkey being prepped? To make a banquet the likes of which my locality might remember fondly for decades? No, that’s even more daunting than just making the turkey!

The real goal is just a massive supply of turkey and cheese sandwiches for me and my hypothetical cooking partner.

And at that point, the process is a lot more worth it if my cooking partner helps me find other ways to enjoy it, like focusing on the heat of the oven, or the sound of their voice, or how much they *love* those sandwiches, because the sandwiches themselves on their own aren’t really worth it to me lol
