Update thingy

Hey y’all! Holy FUCK it’s been a long time. I’m sure you’ve all noticed that this account isn’t active anymore, so apologies to everyone that sent a DM or asked our inbox.

Don’t worry, Plantboi and I are still together, we have just lost interest in running this account. I would have given this account away, but unfortunately it’s a secondary account that shares the same login as my personal blog, which I’m not too keen on giving to someone lol.

Plantboi isn’t active on social media, but I am! If you want to keep up with me, I help admin an account on Instagram that I’m VERY active on.

Sooooooooo make sure to follow @aromantic._.pride on instagram if you want to keep in touch! :)

Woah, I haven’t posted on here in a long time

Hey! Any second date ideas for someone not interested in romance?

Oh that’s fun! Plantboi and I usually go out on ice cream dates together (usually Dairy Queen because we’re broke lol). So that’s always an option. A nice walk in the park together is cool too! We used to do that when Pokémon Go was still a thing so we’d run around the park catching Pokémon. Oh! You could also go watch a movie together!

You love and appreciate aro/ace people, and respect their relationships. This means friendships, best friends, QPPs, any type of relationship.

Okay, so when you say you love your family, do you say it in a romantic sense? No. Love isn’t always romantic.

Say it with me, folks,

Significant others don’t have to be romantic

Relationships don’t have to be romantic

Love doesn’t have to be romantic

I was thinking, how do I define a QPP when explaining it to someone? “It’s like dating, but not really, and like friends, but not really”? And my garbage brain just goes

[justqprthings]

Looking for a qpp?

So I decided it would be a good idea to make a sort of meet-and-greet kinda thing for people looking for qpps or friends! Just reblog this post and fill it in with your answers. Hopefully someone will message you! :)

The best mood is when you’ve had a truly awful week but seeing that one person for a few hours turns it around completely into the best week ever

[justqprthings]

Reminder to periodically check in on your qpp(s) and make sure they’re alright! Let them know they’re loved and appreciated. Make their day, sometimes you don’t know what someone’s going through.

Hi there! It's not a complicated question, I was just wondering: a queerplatonic relationship is when two (or more) people of the same sex/gender are together. But what if it's a relationship between two people of different sex/gender? What is called?

Hey Anon,

It would still be a queerplatonic relationship. Don’t let the word “queer” here confuse you.

A queer/quasiplatonic relationship is a relationship between people that is a serious commitment to each other. It’s more than just friendship, but it’s not entirely romantic either. Though people in a QPR can do romantic things if they wish. People in a QPR can even end up marrying each other if they desired. A QPR is an established and committed relationship, unlike a friendship. You can treat a QPR like a romantic relationship or marriage. The people in a QPR are fully committed to each other. They can live together and form their lives around one another.

The word “queer” here does not mean a homosexual relationship. The definition of the word “queer” can have a lot of different meanings. The word “queer” in a QPR is used to mean a different type or untraditional of relationship then what society deems a serious and committed relationship, because it’s not explicitly romantic or platonic. It’s different from a friendship and different from a romantic relationship. However, because of the controversy around the word “queer” many people have made a shift from “queer” to “quasi” and even “quirky”. 

The word “queer” does not describe the people in the relationship, but the relationship itself. So, anyone can be in a QPR. Whether it be people of opposite genders, the same genders, or different genders. Literally anyone can be a part of a QPR and it will still be considered a QPR.

I hope that helps, Anon. If you don’t like using queerplatonic, you can say quasiplatonic or quirkyplatonic. And it will always be a QPR regardless of the orientations and genders of the people in the relationship. If you have any more questions or would like me to clarify or elaborate on anything feel free to message me anytime.

Y’all keep asking me if there’s certain requirements for a qpr. Like... do you consider it a relationship? Is it completely void of romance? Then congrats, it’s a qpr.

Actually no, there is DEFINITELY special requirements you have to have. You and your partner(s) have to slay the mythical dragon and then go on a dangerous quest to the Amazon. From there you have to locate the giant waterfall. Watch out though, it’s guarded by a group of jaguars! Successfully avoid the animals and make your way to the waterfall. From behind it is a large cave. Once inside you’ll find a mini camp filled with members of the Queerplatonic Tribe™. Show them a tooth taken from the dragon you slayed and they will officially deem you worthy. There will be a large ceremony and you and your partner(s) can now be in a qpr. Hope this helps!

quasi/queerplatonic relationship prompt

Adventure qpps who might as well live on the road. Sight seeing on a whim. Midnight meals in 24 hour gas stations. Summer nights with the windows down, talking about liminal spaces. The feeling of safety and adventure with someone you trust.

Couples that tolerate each other’s endless endless rambling are a powerful and beautiful force for good
