#caedoplatonic

[shiutsu]

I find it wild that even in the most anti-society groups (the whole A-spectrum, otherkin/alterhumanity, antinatalism, etc.), people will still judge or harass you over...actually not wanting to be near people? Even if a certain percentage of people in either of those communities are like that due to trauma.

Like, what are you actually there for, if you don't have a problem saying the most ableist crap to someone who's been put through horrible things by people?

Being aplatonic and nice to people feels like I'm catfishing them.

Like, hey we love the same things and your vibes match mine perfectly but I don't wanna be friends so let's just enjoy this short mutual exchange we're having right now

Some different Aplspec icons made with a Socially Selective dog patch by FurliciousArt on Etsy.

Self-indulgent and welcome to anyone who wants to use them! ( you can use them wherever, I’d appreciate credit but it’s not needed. )

The first row are these Aplatonic flags, the second row are these Greyplatonic / Greyaplatonic flags, and the last row is this Caedplatonic / Caedoplatonic flag and this Apothiplatonic flag.

Can someone who uses a caedo- label say they still feel that attraction, but at a lesser level?

Dread- / Caedoplatonic combo flags requested by anon.

Dread- - An orientation that fluctuates from feeling no attraction to feeling attraction. When attraction is felt, it is accompanied by a strong feeling of dread or anxiety.

Caedoplatonic - someone who feels that they were, at one point allosexual, but that has been taken or “cut away” from them due to past trauma.

If you have any problems with any of these flag designs, please let me know. I may take the post down & will certainly do my best to correct the issue.🦋

Caedplatonic or Caedoplatonic

Caed- or Caedo- A feeling that one was previously able to experience a particular kind of attraction, but that ability was lost due to trauma or negative events. 

Aplatonic spectrum: Originally created in the aromantic community, as well as by trauma survivors and neurogivergent folks to describe not feeling platonic attraction, which are also called “squishes” (as opposed to romantic “crushes”). Platonic attraction exists on a spectrum, just like there’s a spectrum for sexual and romantic attractions. Some people consider aplatonic spectrum as MOGAI, some do not. The abbreviation for aplatonic is “apl” (pronounced “apple”).

Term coined by: Unknown

[image description: a flag with five stripes. The top stripe is a dark yellow, and the next three stripes are all slightly lighter shades of yellow. The bottom stripe is black. Centered on the bottom of the flag are three partial vertical stripes, each a fifth of the width of the flag. The outer two stripes are grey and are two fifths of the height of the flag, while the middle is white and is three fifths the height of the flag]

"People don't owe you gratitude/[anything that's positive in relationships]"

And I don't owe them attraction, but you get mad about that.

Made this for a sub, but I'll share it here too, cuz why not.

It's basically like the "Terms I use", but on a queer ball. I also included another flag so it would fit the other flag. All of the flags are included in the link from my bio so..

So now the flags:

The body: Loveless Aro, Non-Partnering & Aegosexual

Left wings from up to down: Demonkin, Myrplatonic & Delloromantic

Right wings from up to down: Shadowkin, Caedoplatonic & Fictoromantic

Horns: Nonbinary & It/Its pronouns

Pins (on the left): Voidpunk & Reicioplatonic

Pins on the right: Afamilial & Aplflux

Glasses: Tiric (Trixic & Toric)

PS: I'm not a casual desktop artist (I use my laptop keyboard), so the lines can look off. Plus I extracted most of the lineart from another program that doesn't save in transparent pngs.

I also don't post my art there (tho most of the stuff I draw is for my public project which I cannot obviously spoil, or it's heavily edited app avatar characters), so I don't expect much from this
