#Queer Platonic Partner

[qprconcepts]

QPR where there is a collective agreement to keep it a "secret" and call each other best friends because you don't want to mislead randos with more ambiguous terms but ur both aro so there is just a private mutual agreement that you're bestbest friends and have each other as your priority

Allo peeps need to understand being aromantic isn't just "Ewww, romance". It's "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond, regardless of where that would lead me." Platonically, of course."

(But please keep in mind that for some it IS "Ewww, romance" And they don't need to be treated like they're not a part of this community, btw. This is an objective fact, btw. Aros are awesome, btw)

(This post is about QPRs and my experiences being aro, I just wanted to make a silly little post about that, aplatonics are valid and real this post was about me and maybe for people who relate)

Welp, you may know what this pic means by now 🙈

My QPP/fiance is visiting me for the next 3 weeks so I'll be distracted for a bit more TwT I still hope to get back to drawing in the meantime, but wanted to notify just in case!

(On a side note, for people who supported my comic's Kickstarter and requested their signature on it too, that's when they'll be able to do it hehe èwé)

anxiously awaiting the arrival of my queerplatonic partner like a funky little gay package I ordered online that got lost somewhere overseas a month ago

I truly believe that Queer-Platonic Relationships should go without a set definition. QPR's exist on a spectrum and they look different for everyone. Some people want somethings but not others. Some QPR's closely resemble stereotypical "romantic" relationships while others don't and that should be okay. Pushing guidelines like "doesn't include sex", "more than friends", or "require a deep bond" etc. takes away from the purpose of QPR's in the first place, to exist outside the guidelines.

Obviously, QPR's can be sexless, QPP's may define their QPR as existing somewhere between romantic and platonic, and some people do prefer a deep bond before getting involved in a QPR, but to make that the standard defeats the point of having a term that means to have a relationship outside of the standard.

I think that might have made sense? I am not too sure I just saw posts talking about people pushing hard fast definitions as to what a QPR is and decided to spit out my opinions on it.

there is nothing wrong with having a long distance relationship, especially if you haven't met in person. what matters most in a relationship is that you improve each others lives and can grow and change together. you fulfill each other - and you can do that without being together in person. if toxic in person relationships can be normalized, there's no reason a healthy long distance/online relationships should be ridiculed or judged.

(this post includes friendships, sexual relationships, and queer platonic relationships!)

Queeplatonic partners who are their each others number one fan

YOURE MY SUPERSTAR!

[rose-reveries]

Just want to live in a silly little house and do simple easy work that lets me live comfortably and live with someone that I love and they also love me and we are soulmates but we are also both aroace so we just live in perfect queer platonic bliss and I kiss their forehead as we lay in bed watching tv shows

[acollectionofas]

How does one find a QPP? Asking for a sad aroace friend who just wants someone to go on adventures with, and talk to after a long day of work, and cuddle on the couch with, and tell stories to, and infodump with, but who very much does not want a romantic or sexual relationship. (The friend is me).

Shakespeare’s comedies end with marriage, I don’t want my comedy to end so I’ve decided not to get married

Sorry I promise this is the last time I mention the Kickstarter in a while unless asked, because it's already got way more support than it already needs (which I couldn't be more grateful for), but here's a quick shoutout to my partner @civiart being incredibly patient and supportive throughout all the process even though I've probably been very annoying in many ways
