I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER TERTIARY CULTURE BLOG!!! YOU'RE SO COOL :D

ahp, thank you!! /gen

It's very fair you didn't know my blog existed though, saying it's both a niche concept and i've not really been active for a few years now lol

What's this? A new "x-culture-is" blog?

I'm here to post tertiary attraction culture! Asks, some of My own posts, even things outside of the gimmick.

I was wondering, maybe we could start off by finding a pokémon to put in the tertiary-attraction-ball? Gimmie some suggestions! Pokémon that are match the flag's colours, or pokémon that (would/could) feel tertiary attraction, are welcome.

Tagging for attention :3 @aro-culture-is @aro-ace-culture-is @aspec-culture

Q2, if you haven't answered already.

How would you describe your identity?

It gets a bit foggy for me since I view the labels more as "what i would do with someone" since I am omniaspec and mostly on the far "no attraction" for most(i think). I would say I am sort of gray aesthetic and maybe some form of emotional unspecified feelings but that are VERY specififc and yet to be named. Just curious what's your experience is like with your identity.

My first thought was to compare it to nebulæ, a spark of colour in the otherwise grey (an-attractional) world of space (tho space is from from pure black irl, but for the purposes of the metaphor).

It does to some degree depend on the type of attraction; Aesthetic feels not much more different then seeing a particulalry attractive painting to us or even the expirance of gender envy but without the desire to model an aspect of the person, vs platonic and... whatever attraction my headmates feel that sits inbetween romo & non-rose, is very... again it's a nebula. It almost feels like when you are particulaly hyperfocused or intrested in a topic but without the je ne sais quoi for lack of a better term that those have, instead it's almost like a slight pull towards the person a desire to have them in your life but without the thoughts completly consuming you, just perhaps leaving them a bit more of a frequent visitor to your thoughtspace then they might've been otherwise.

...idk if any of that makes sense lol, but yea to us it's a very specific but also extremely abstract feeling, similar to but still different to how we feel about our best friends or those we get gender envy from.

Tertiary Attraction Ask Game #5? (if its still going on)

5: Do you like to label your tertiary attraction?

We do not currently label any of our tertiary attractions as far as I know, but I don't think we would mind doing so either. Some of us really like labels or otherwise fitting infomantion about ourself together so I could see us going back to using them in the future in any case.

Though personally I, as an individual alter, am a big fan of using labels when I need to communicate an idea but not "identifing" with them 24/7 like people tend to assume most Queer folk do. So when introducing myself, even in queer spaces, I won't say i'm Bi-Aesthetic but if the conversation leads to it being relevent then I have no issues using the label either (they are fun ngl).

🎧

"Refrain！　混じり気なしストレートティーがサイコーってなんか笑えるね / Melancholyだって最後にはいつもHolyになる"

English Translation: "Refrain！ Saying that it's best left without anything added is a bit laughable, huh? / Since Melancholy always becomes Holy in the end"

These lyrics are one of my favorites primarily for the vocal melody, but I also relate to them because of my upbringing lol

[socalledmixtapelife]

Send me a 🎧 and I will put my music on shuffle and give you a song and my favourite lyric from it

VoiSynthaural!

VoiSynthaural describes aural attraction to vocal and voice synthesizers! This was made with vocal synthesizers like Vocaloid, UTAU, Open Utau, Synthesizer V, Neutrino, Cevio, Deepvocal, Chipspeech, Alter/ego, Emvoice, Piapro studio, Voiceroid, RVC AI, NNSVS, Ace Studio, NiaoNiao, Maghni AI, and the like in mind, but can apply to any synthesized voice!

The colours don't have any meaning aside from both mimicking the Aural Attraction's flag and based off of colours I commonly see used in vocal synth program's UI.

can you design a pride flag for the alloplatonic spectrum? (alloplspec)

Flag based on both platonic attraction and acespec flags. Here it is! Alloplspec pride flag.

[mamajosrefuge]

The EU is doing a big survey for LGBTQ people who live in the EU about how it is for them right now. That's the kind of survey that's used for official reports and for laws so it's super important that it has as many people taking it as possible. You can take it in every EU language. (You can change the language in the top right corner) Share it with your friends!

[caedspec-culture-is]

Hello! And welcome to my culture blog!

Askbox is open and anon is on!

For those of you who don't know, caedspec is a spectrum for ppl who do or don't experience certain things due to trauma.

A good example of this is myself! Some caedspec labels I personally identify with are caedplatonic and caedmonogamous. This means that I am now aplatonic (don't experience platonic attraction/love) due to trauma. Caedmonogamous means that I am now monogamous (I was originally ambiamorus, polyamorus leaning) due to trauma.

There are endless amounts of caedspec labels! Altho this blog is a culture blog, if you have any questions about being caedspec or about caedspec labels, then feel free to ask!

[tertiaryspec-culture]

tertiary attraction culture is not realizing you're aplatonic cus you have alterous attraction, and the alterous attraction looking kind of like a combination of romantic and platonic. "why don't i ever feel just platonic about people" well, cus you don't have it(or very little. still figuring that out)

.

[demialterous-culture-is]

Demialterous culture is falling in love with a close friend but not like that

9 for the ask game?

(9: What is your least favourite type of attraction to experience?)

Hmm... that's a bit difficult because they're all pretty close for me but i have to say the platonic attraction lol. i get very socially anxious which just increases a lot w/ squishs, and being Hetroplatonic makes me way too aware/scared people will misinterpret my feelings because whoo heteronormativity /sarcasm
