#nonfriending

[isuggestaplatonicism]

You don't need friends to be socially fulfilled. If all you want is to have conversations with someone, you know you don't need to befriend them right? Like, you can have a totally impersonal relationship with them, right?

You don't need to interpersonally commit to anyone to fulfill your social needs. Acquaintances exist for a reason!

You don't need friends to be happy! Let them go!!

flag id: a flag with 5 stripes, with the third being much larger than the rest. they are dark purple, yellow-green, cream, yellow-green, and dark purple. in the center of the flag is a light orange circle with a thick dark red-orange outline and a dark red-orange question mark within it. end id.

banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.

nonfriending ambivalent: being generally nonfriending, preferring to be nonfriending, etc. but not 100% fitting that label, having fluctuating desire for friends, etc.

[pt: nonfriending ambivalent: being generally nonfriending, preferring to be nonfriending, etc. but not 100% fitting that label, having fluctuating desire for friends, etc.. end pt]

for anon! they also described this as a greyspec version of nonfriending.

i combined the nonfriending and friendship-ambivalent flags!

Happy non-friending aplatonic

[PT: Happy non-friending aplatonic. End PT.]

A flag for those who like/enjoy being non-friending/plato-repulsed aplatonic. Who like being friendless despite the stereotype that all people without friends are sad or miserable .♡

Coined by me :3

also, what is it with people responding to "i don't want friends" with "humans are social animals 😌"? like... okay? social interaction doesn't require a whole ass relationship of any kind? 🤨

[our-loveless-experiences]

loveless apl clown!!

(this guy is UNRELATED to valentine, and using the temp names dandi and dandy lion.)

it's based on the aplaroace flag :0 and probably a loveless aplatonic and nonfriending

i bet it's incredibly social but terrible at actually forming words, and the most blatantly allofamilial character you've ever seen. like it adopts every possible being in its vicinity (smiles would HATE this guy)

its paws are gloves :0 like it has tiny twig paws and the little bells around its mane/flower crown jingle jangle whenever it moves

i like to imagine it can dramatically clap and it sounds like one of those confetti poppers goes off, but idk where the confetti actually comes from ;-; but it's also fictional clown magic so idk don't ask me

anyway my update to like, all the other clown ocs im neglecting is every single one is alovespec. their world is like my ocs self-projected fanfic and i guarantee they accidentally applied that to everyone (that's not a pattern)

this guy's more passive about it though. its not really repressed or explored, but it recognises that it just doesn't enjoy those kinds of relationships and doesn't go out of its way to engage with them

it'll excessively yap for the day but make sure not to cross a personal boundary

it has fun :3

anyway im between (in addition to it/its) ei/eir or hx/hxm pronouns for this guy, but im open to other suggestions

and gender :0 this guy's probably lionkin, but it could always be cooler

OOOOOOOOOO! Very cool! :D

"and gender :0 this guy's probably lionkin, but it could always be cooler" Yeah, it could be cooler- *slides this across the table with a wink* (No pressure though)

We keep thinking: Xe/Xim , but we might just be a big fan of the ones that start with X, they're very fun!
