Platonifocal is perfect for what I have in mind! Yes, it really fits with "focusing on platonic relationships", it's obvious but fitting! Anyways, the flags I had in mind would be scraps 79 and 78. Green and yellow representing platonic relationships, and for 78 the white, grey, and black represent the ace/aro spectrum. So, 79 would be for non-aro/ace people who focus on plantonic relationships, and 78 would be for aro/ace spectrum people who focus on platonic. Thank you very much! :D

do you have a identity or flag for someone who is a lesbian, or like. otherwise feels romantic attraction, but is only comfortable w alterous relationships?? thank u!

I’ve found a couple options that might work for you!

Philto-: an orientation in which a person can feel attraction and their associated acts, but does not desire relationships associated with that form of attraction and may quickly get bored of them.

There’s also an identity called “Platonifocal”, where an individual puts more emphasis on their platonic relationships compared to their sexual and/or romantic relationships. Perhaps something like “Altefocal” could be useful for those that focus on their alterous relationships?

Platonifocal is a term which immediately springs to mind to use for it?

Wow that was quick, and I like the sound of that, what do you think anon?

Is there an orientation for wanting to put more focus o platonic relationships? Not queerplatonic, or smethng "between" platonic and romantic/etc, platonic in general. Friends and best friends and so on. I saw 2 new flag scraps that I want to claim for this (one for people who r acespec or arospec, and the other for non-ace/aro-spec who still focus more on their friendships than their sexual/romantic ones). But I wanna b sure there isnt other terms like this. I can clarify more if you want.

I don’t know of a term for that sorry. Do any of our followers know? 

Feel free to say which scraps you want do I can hold them in case someone else tries to grab them!
