Aqueerplatonic - Blog Posts

If you don't want a QPR, then that's okay. I see you, too.

You might be aqueerplatonic, aka aquaplatonic. I think a lot of aspec discussion is on QPRs, which is fine. But I also think we need to acknowledge it can create a certain pressure. I saw so many posts about QPRs that I felt like I was supposed to have one. People talk about them like its something everyone who's aspec experiences.

But not every aspec will experience it! And that should be seen as okay! When I learned aquaplatonic was a label, it made me feel better about myself. You don't need to have a special someone, regardless of romance or not. If you just have friends, that's okay. If you don't even want friends, that's okay. Don't force yourself into a type of relationship you don't want to have!

(This is not an attack on QPRs or the community in general. This is something I just feel like needs to be said and isn't talked about much.)

Black Stripe A- Identities

This are Black Stripe A- Identities that describe when one feels a complete lack of this attraction. If someone feels a lack of said attraction they might just use the specific A- label but if they want to emphazise that they experience zero attraction they might use the black stripe identities. This is based on the black stripe asexual[link], there is also a green stripe aromantic label[link] however I wanted to make all black stripe variants since the black in the flags stands for the lack of attraction, so I slightly altered the green stripe aromantic and made the alternative name black stipe aromantic.

As far as I know anattractionalflux wasn't coined yet so here is it's definition:

Anattractionalflux is when someone who’s orientations fluctuates but always stays on the anattractional spectrum. All of their attraction types fluctuate and all are always on the anattractional spectrum.
