Queerplatonic Relationship: (or QPR) A term for a relationship that bends the rules for telling apart romantic relationships from non-romantic relationships. It typically goes beyond what is considered normal or socially acceptable for a platonic relationship but is not romantic in nature or does not fully fit the traditional idea of a romantic relationship. (also called a quasiplatonic relationship, quirkyplatonic relationship, or qplatonic relationship)

Queerplatonic Attraction: A form of attraction experienced mainly, but not exclusively, by a-spec people. It is characterized by a desire to have a queerplatonic relationship with someone in particular. (also known as Quasiplatonic Attraction, Quirkyplatonic Attraction, or Qplatonic Attraction)

Plush: A queerplatonic crush, where one strongly desires to be in a qpr with a particular person.

Squish: A platonic crush, where one strongly desires to be close to a particular person, but not in a romantic way.

It is commonly used interchangeably or more commonly than plush.

I'm tired and reacted the normal way /j by creating 💀s of every flag created by @liomstargloww , complete with firey eyes. Many of these were not meant to be streched. Also plain burning skulls. Feel free to ask for other flags.

-oriented 💀s coming soon.

I really really like the terms "marshmallow" and "mallowfriend" to describe a qpp. They make me feel warm and squishy and remind me of hugs and I think I'd melt if someone called me their marshmallow.

Queerplatonic culture is loving the terms marshmallow and mallowfriend to describe your partner :)
