This is a great post and it also reminded me of one of my fav fictional queerplatonic relationships, Schmidt and Nick from New Girl.
I remember watching that scene from season 5 episode 5 for the first time
Schmidt: Nick is very romantic. He does romantic things for me all the time!
Nick: Schmidt, what are you talking about??
Schmidt: Just the other week you were very romantic to me! When I fell down in the parking lot and you picked me up!
*flashback to a Schmidt falling like an idiot and Nick hoisting him up unceremoniously by the arm*
Schmit then goes onto say that romance doesn't always have to be sexual and for some reason that really stuck with me over the years. I think it describes how I have felt about a couple of my really close friendships with people in my life. The kind where you just really click on a very deep and intimate level, but not in a sexual or normal "romantic" way.
I find many things that me and my best friend does as "romantic", just in a platonic-romantic way. I wish there was a better word for this. I never say it aloud bc people will get weirded out, but I'm always internally like "Aww so romantic!" to basically anything that I view to be particularly heartfelt/affectionate/intimate.
They sent me flowers bc they knew I was having a bad day? They poured their heart into a letter for me just bc they felt like it? They remembered that I love this really specific thing and gifted me something related to that? They cradled my face so gently while they helped me get an eyelash out of my eye? That's SO romantic!
And I do the same things for them! Does that mean I wanna date or fuck them? No! But whoever does later down the line will be a damn lucky bastard, I'll tell you that.
Has my demisexual ass fallen in love with a previous best friend of mine who also did many of these things? 👀 That's besides the point!!! It's not always like that, and people need to become more educated and comfortable with the reality that there are various types of love and romance out there and not all of them = sex and dating.
Long story short, I just love really deeply, even on platonic levels, and I can see the romance in everything and I think it's so sweet 🥹🥰
"friends don't look at each other like that" well okay you coward you do whatever you want however i WILL look at my friends like they're the most important thing in the world. i love them with my whole heart and i will hold their hand and stare at the stars not because i wanna fuck them but because they mean the world to me and i care about them. fuck you

describing a queerplatonic relationship as "more than a friendship": incorrect, minimizes what friendships can be, leads to confusion or dismissal of what a qpr is because "but you can still do all that stuff with a friend. i still don't see how this is different than a friendship"
describing a queerplatonic relationship as "more than *what is typically societally expected of* a friendship": far more accurate, acknowledges the variety of ways that platonic relationships can be, adresses the societally constructed nature of relationship hierarchy

"We’re being denied the authentic experience of love, and it’s killing us. It’s the cult of loneliness creeping in day by day; it’s the reason we’re so fucking empty. We deserve real, authentic love, and it’s there for the taking if only the world wasn’t so goddamn afraid to have it."
The above is an excerpt from QUEERPLATONIC: A LOVE STORY

i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.
the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff

The point of queerplatonic relationships is literally having relationships out of the common, that go against what is expected in a normal friendship or in a romantic relationship, its about breaking those society imposed rules, so guys, there is no correct way to have a qpr, or some kind of definition, you can do and have whatever you and your partner/s want always if you feel happy and comfortable!

Me trying to explain my qpr to other people: Okay so we’re more like salt and pepper than sun and moon if you get my drift. We’re the homies who kiss each other goodnight do you get it-

i’ve begun saying people “obviously aren’t in a romantic relationship, they have something deeper and more intimate going on” as this seems to confuse and upset alloromantics

(ID: a banner with text over the aro flag. the text says: i don't care about blorbotags go wild but this post is about hating the hierarchial system of relationships & if you're mad about it you're probably been poisoned by ace discourse brainworms. and are also proving my point. /end ID)
