happy pride month to the aros, the aplatonics, the loveless aros, everyone who is sick of hearing about love from everyone else. i see you and i appreciate you. your queerness is just as important and welcome and wonderful as everyone else's

Let me say this, as an aplspec schizospec asocial who is sometimes alloace:

Aplatonic people are allowed to be alloromantic no matter what. People are allowed to only want romantic partners and no nonromantic friends. Yeah, it's said to fit the amatonormative standard, but platonormativity isn't just a concept you happen to find funny, it's real.

Aplatonicism may have started within arospec community, but it was also started as related to neurodivergence and asociality, which some dismiss and think schizoid people can't be really romantic. Which is unrealistic and manicomial.

Edit: apparently who coined aplatonic is alloace, according to people in the notes.

Additional comment: romantic love and friendship concepts vary across cultures too. Where I live acquaintances are not friends, they are just social contacts.

happy aplatonic visibility day to aplatonics with friends, aplatonics who don’t want friends, aplatonics who don’t like their friends, aplatonics who want friends, aplatonics without friends, aplatonics who love talking about their aplatonicism, aplatonics who are super social, aplatonics with personality disorders, aplatonics with low empathy, mean aplatonics, cruel aplatonics, autistic aplatonics

Aplatonic: A term used to describe people who do not experience platonic attraction. Specifically, it is most commonly employed by aplatonic people to describe a lack of desire to form friendships with specific people, or difficulty forming friendships in general as a result of neurodivergence or trauma.

I need Aplatonic Infographic Ideas!

Following an extremely annoying conflict I had in the comments of an aplatonic post on @aspec-vents, I think people need help understanding the aplatonic experience and what platonic attraction/feelings actually are, and what it means to not have them

Send in your asks, comments, or reblogs for your questions for aplatonics or your aplatonic experience/what aplatonic means to you!

Shoutout to aplatonic people, especially platonic averse/repulsed apls. I know a lot of aro positivity posts around this time tend to focus on platonic love as something to celebrate instead and that can feel very isolating. You do not need to make up for anything today or ever.

Now, let's go set amatonormativity ablaze

Kicking off with my audience wanting more aplatonic posts, I decided to start kinda simple and make an aesthetic based around the flag. I went with a nature theme for it! The flag is very pretty, I can’t say I’ve seen it before.

I want to make more personal posts here, and I will, but school has been chewing me up and spitting me out. I hope y’all are understanding 😅

Shoutout to nonfriending apls!!

Happy late aplatonic day to aplatonics! I hope you get recognised, heard and seen in and out of our community.

i actually love being aplatonic. i love not having a lot of friends. i am the mean aplatonic stereotype. i’m an aplatonic with npd and bpd and autism and low empathy. and i love it

aplatonic people are cool as fuck and deserve the world

[xxcalicofemmexx]

anyway

aplatonic people are beautiful and good and deserving. having language to express how they experience the world is not a bad thing, and should Never be framed as such.

if you are aplatonic because of a personality disorder, you belong.

if you are aplatonic because of autism, you belong.

if you are aplatonic because of trauma, you belong.

if you are aplatonic because of a fatigue disorder, you belong.

if you are aplatonic because you're just happier on your own, you belong.

if you are aplatonic because of another reason i can't think of rn, you belong.

you are real, and you matter, and you deserve to find pride in being yourself.

- sincerely, an aroacespec
