Hi I don’t talk here much so I’m gonna just blurb this out :3 I made a flag for queerplatonic affection/attraction and queerplatonic relationships. This isn’t an attempt to put a label on it or make anything official bc I just made this in ibis paint for fun so I can use it with my QPP and with friends and wanted to offer it as a concept for others. I’m ok with alterations, inspiration being taken, and the like so you may use it as long as it isn’t for hateful use. Also don’t claim as your own but that totally would never happen on the internet
Explanation of thoughts and process :3
YELLOW- represents happiness, friendship, and platonic love.
LIGHT ORANGE/GOLD- stands for sanctuary and trust, as well as deep emotional bonds
RED- stands for love within queerplatonic relationships, particularly stemming from aromantic communities and platonic affections for friends
PURPLE- represents the aroace community and how it differs from the societal norms of platonic love and affection, including aplatonic members of the community
WHITE HEART- represents those with allo identities who are connected through queerplatonic relationships as well, and additionally represents the nonconformity of queer love in every sense, as it cannot always be labeled or contained in a boxed description
If you’d like to use this in anything, please tag me if you’d be comfy! You can make your own versions as well, I’d love to see everyone’s interpretations and own experiences with queerplatonic affection and love. You are not broken. You are valid. You choose how you would like to receive love.
And as an additional note, queerplatonic love and relationships should not and will not ever be the standard for aromantic Or alloromantic people! You are just as valid if you are aplatonic or affection repulsed, just as every other aromantic and asexual person is and always will be. Happy Pride month to everyone :3 I love you aromantic and aromantic allies I love you aromantics who are okay with romance as an option I love you aromantics who could never love someone in a romantic way I love you cupioromantics I love you demiromantics I love you greyromantics I love you arofluxs I love you acefluxs I love you asexuals and demisexuals and greysexuals and queerplatonic partners and everyone with squishes they don’t wish to pursue and every transfem and transmasc aroace person and every black aroace person every indigenous aroace every Palestinian aroace every questioning aroace I love you alloaros I love you alloaces I love you every allo ally who is in QPP relationships and polyamorous aromantics and asexuals I love you I love you I love you and you are so loved and deserving of love that You wish to receive on your terms and nothing less
The silence dragged on for longer than Villain liked. "So..."
Hero looked up, Villain's voice pulling them out of their thoughts.
"What do you think?"
Hero frowned a little. It wasn't that they didn't like the idea. "You'd really want to be my partner?"
"Yes."
"Without dating."
"Yes."
"But..." Hero seemed to be struggling with this. "Why?"
Villain huffed. "Because I like you? Because I want to spend time with you, regardless of if we hold hands or kiss or whatever else it is 'conventional' couples do?"
Villain stepped closer, taking Hero's gloved hands in their own. "You don't have to be in love to have a partner, Hero. You just need to have love."
