What is familial attraction?

In order to understand what being Afamilial is, we must learn what the attraction we lack even is in the first place

Familial Attraction is the clossness of family or the desire to be family with someone you know

It is not necessary that to experience attraction you must be blood related, you don't even need to have adopted them as a child in order to. Familial attraction is similar to platonic attraction in that regard, but instead of friends, you feel like siblings However it is most commonly felt towards blood reletives for Allofamilials [Side note: Even if you're Allofamilial, you don't necessarily experience familial attraction towards all of your blood reletives, same as for Alloromantics, Allosexuals, Alloplatonics, etc..]

---

It is not incest This is a rather common misconception from Allofamilials, whether or not in good faith

"But didn't you (Mod V) call yourself homofamilial?"

I'm on the more familial favorable end of afamilials, but that seems to mainly be with the other girls / women in my family I'm honestly not really comfortable with most of the boys/men in my family, and I think I may experience less of a desire to be familially close to them, But for the girls, I do still care for them, just... not in any form of attraction. Probably emotional attraction ig.

Tertiary / Non-Rose attraction still has orientations. It just so happens that almost everyone is pan

afamilial / afam ✦ afamilial spectrum / afamspec allofamilial / allofam / allofamilial spectrum / allofamspec ✦ familial attraction

Some alt (a)fam flags :p

I wanted to make my own versions of it, kinda like what I did with aphysical, aemotional, and aqp.

I feel like brown and red colours are fitting for familial. Light blue also vaguely felt fitting, but it didn't really fit into the allofam flag, so I just included it in the familial attraction flag (because it'd use more colours).

Then, the afamilial colours are the inverse of that, so green and blue (opposite of red and brown). I also made then slightly cyanish, because on a digital colour wheel, the opposite of red is cyan.

This is kinda the opposite of the original familial and afamilial flags, where familial is blue and afamilial is (dark) red. I wanted to make something more fitting with aspec flags to me.

People can just use whatever one feels more fitting to them. If anyone wants to give any comments on the colours and stuff, I'd like to hear it.

-✦

For the first flag, it's format is similar to other aspec flags. The black, grey, and white stripes represent no attraction, partial attraction, and attraction, in regards to familial attraction, but can also include others too (like experiencing attraction other than familial, or also being another a- orientation). The green and blue is for afamilial.

The afamspec flag uses the main green and blue colours for afam, put into a gradient format like other a-spec flags, to represent the spectrum of afam identities.

For allofam, it follows the format of @isobug's allo-/allo-spec flags (alloro and allosex examples). The top 3 stripes have the same meaning, and the bottom 2 are for familial attraction (the gradient represents it's a spectrum too). Like the others, this includes orchidspecs who wish to be included.

For the familial attraction flag, I just used the above colours I associate with familial attraction. There's no particular stripe meanings, or flag format I followed.

WTF is familial attraction?? Why are you normalizing INCEST???

Omg. It's not incest... Your allo-ness is showing so bad rn... In all seriousness, it's not at all related to incest.

It's a tertiary attraction, which based on the SAM or Split Attraction Model means it's a form of attraction that is neither romantic nor sexual. It just describes the *NON ROMANTIC/SEXUAL* desire to either having a familial attachment to someone, or the desire for emotional closeness with one's family members.

If you wish to understand more, here is the link:

Hope that helps explain that it's not incest, or anything of the like!

As always, of anyone has any questions or would like to share their experience, feel free to send an ask!!!

Afamilial

Where one feels little to no familial attraction, the lack of familial attraction.

[elliott-the-creature]

(Maybe) hot take:

I don’t see anyone on the internet in a familial manner.

I don’t care how long we’ve known each other; how many secrets we’ve told and promised to keep. It doesn’t matter if I’ve infodumped to you or listened to you infodump. It doesn’t matter if we’ve engaged in deep conversations or had some silly banter. It doesn’t matter if I’ve know you for 1 month, 6 months, a year, 5 years… I just don’t see anyone here in a familial way. I only really feel familial connections with my birth family and RARELY some of my friends. So I’m sorry if some of you see me as a sibling or cousin or any familial term; I cannot reciprocate those feelings. I’ll see you only as a dear friend. And I really am sorry for the people who only see me as family. You guys do mean a lot to me (especially my moots), but I only see you in a platonic light.

What is familial attraction?

No this isn't a debate post. (Just wanted to get that out of the way)

So I've gotten asks about being afamilial (like afam-spec versions of my other a-spec flag sets). And I've read it on this wiki, and have seen it mentioned in other posts.

But I still don't get entirely get it.

It wouldn't feel right making flags (and I guess kind of coining terms) for something I don't understand. And I also would like to learn for myself (might be me?), and it'd probably just be a good thing to know in general.

Would anyone want to elaborate in the comments or reblogs (asks are okay too, if you want to use anon).

[asexual-society]

I know friends don’t always think of themselves as siblings, and that “platonic” is an umbrella that encompasses all non-romantic and non-sexual stuff, and all I see on google is that a squish is a platonic crush, but I still have a question I want to be sure of: Is wanting to be someone’s sibling a squish?

Man, I'm sure there was at one point a term like this for familial attraction but I can't find it anywhere, so I'm gonna go with Yes, you could for sure call this a squish if you wanted to put that kind of label on it, although to be completely honest it's not something I'm super knowledgeable about (I've got one actual sibling and that is Plenty).

(Also, "platonic" does not encompass all non-romantic/non-sexual (read: tertiary attraction), there are other types, such as aesthetic, alterous, sensual, queerplatonic, and ofc familial, which you're more than welcome to read about too!)
