🌠↦ introducing: the agapiic attraction system!
the agapiic attraction system, originating from the ancient greek word “agape” [ἀγάπη], is a set of terms intended to describe attraction between spiritine/spiric-aligned individuals. due to the nature of SPXIN identities, these types of attraction may feel more spiritual, divine, or sacred compared to other experiences.
the following terms are meant to be modifiers for pre-existing terms describing attraction, so aren’t necessary completely separate experiences. these terms aren’t limited to a certain orientation, but more focus on the type of attraction itself. this post will be updated with links to flags when they are made! :)
