Note: This user is known for adding or creating flags for some pretty iffy terms, but I don’t believe they are trolling; rather, it seems more like they’re trying to add flags to make everyone happy, whether or not the identity is oppressed or not. I'm always open to helping create alternatives if you're not comfortable using something made be them!

Color meanings: Looks like ice and snow.

Hey, can I use term glaro- if my attraction is stronger (not experiencing only) when it's cold? If not, which term should I use?

I’m not glaro, but I’m demisexual, and I feel like the experience of “not experiencing attraction at all unless [condition]” is different than the experience of “experiencing attraction but also experiencing attraction to an additional gender/more strongly if [condition]”.

People have asked here more than once stuff like “what if I’m regularly attracted to [gender] but I can also be attracted to [other gender] if [condition], should I say I’m [a-spec label] regarding [other gender]?”, and the answer is mostly "the label can be useful while explaining your experiences, but it can be confusing without extra explanation and innacurate when used on its own, so unless you are going to explain you are probably better off using vaguer labels”. I think this is a similar case.

Most labels don’t cover weak attraction, and when they do, they mostly cover it on the basis of being a-spec identities: gray-a can mean both “weakly attracted” or “attracted to only a few people”, aroflux/aceflux/etc. cover anything from completely aromantic/asexual/etc. to allo (and this allo can be any non-a-spec orientation, such as pan or gay) and “anything in between” and so on.

There’s -slide terminology, but that covers people who go from repulsed to favorable, not intensity of attraction.

There is moll-/molli-, which covers having a weak or soft attraction, but it also isn’t fluid.

I think the possibilities here are:

Coin a new term that means specifically what you want it to mean;

Use duo-, which means your orientation is fluid between a set of orientations, and then say you are fluid between molli- or gray- and something else, maybe also specifying that what you are depends on if it’s cold or not;

Use a broader label that covers both your state of weak attraction and your state of stronger attraction (aroaceflux? Aroacespike? Pomo? Queer? Bi?)

Sorry I couldn’t provide further help.
