#Queerplatonic

[neverquiteeden]

may I offer you a meme in these trying times

[qprconcepts]

qpr where both people aren’t sure where this might go but still love each other immensely!! so much so that they feel full on it!!! qpr where even if things change they’ll always have each other to fall back on even if they aren’t together anymore!!!!!!!!!!

friends with benefits except the benefits are romantic, and no they aren't dating

“I would ascend physical form with you”

“That’s so PLATONIC”

[undead-tboy-swag]

if your weird enough with the homies you can break all boundaries of platonic/romantic love and make a third, more evil thing

[midnightcrisisstuff]

actually no, we're not "dating". we're bound together for infinity. like the stars. so, fuck you, actually.

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

i love you polyamorous relationships, open relationships, friends with benefits/friends that have sex with each other, queerplatonic relationships, friendships that have some weird queer element to it, relationship anarchy, staying single and i love anything that doesn't match what society considers "normal"

[asexual-fandom-queen]

i don’t want a ROMANTIC PARTNER. i want a DEAR FRIEND i can use as a HUMAN WEIGHTED BLANKET

[rocksandaces]

"there is no platonic explanation for this" when characters hug, care for each other, support them, are worried when they are in danger, smile at each other etc

Some of yall just don't have any good friends and it really shows

[twinklerei]

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!

"Love" x "dear" QPPs <33

(If you see this ILYYY DEAR)

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)

[unfortunatelyiamreal]

No guys. You don’t UNDERSTAND. This is the most perfect arrangement there ever has been. We love each other??? We don’t have to have sex??? Or kiss???? But it’s still loving and caring and intimate????? That’s literally a dream i thought would never come true. I feel like a Disney princess.
