Happy aplatonic visibility day! Here are some reminders!
Not everyone feels platonic attraction
Not everyone has or wants friends
Aplatonics can still be social (I'm extremely social), but also a lot of us just don't have the same socialization needs as alloplatonics. If your first question for aplatonics is "how do you fulfill the need for socialization without friends?" please consider why you think that's something that everyone needs
Conversations and interactions with strangers and acquaintances can be just as meaningful and fulfilling as those with friends
Friendship, like any relationship, should require explicit consent and a conversation. Don't start referring to people as friends without discussing it first
Friend and bestie are not casual terms to say to anyone; ask for consent before you use them
Platonic does not mean non-romantic. It specifically refers to relationships between friends. If you want to say something without romantic intent, say you mean it non-romantically
Aspec means more than just aro and/or ace. Atertiaries are here too. That doesn't just mean aplatonics, but also afamilials, asensuals, anaesthetics/nonaesthetics, etc
Not all aspecs value friendship above all. Not all aspecs want QPRs
Not all aplatonics are aromantic. Not all aplatonics are loveless. Not all aplatonics are asexual. Not all aplatonics are afamilial
Anyway, have a lovely day my fellow apples! Don't forget that you can't commit crimes today without being caught

Just a reminder to everyone that aplatonic visibility day is tomorrow! Aplatonics are so often erased and overlooked as a part of the aspec community. Tomorrow is a day dedicated to aplatonic pride for that reason. If you can, do something that day to spread awareness or show support. It means a lot.

Happy aplatonic visibility day to all my fellow apls! Make some noise today, and be proud of your aplatonicism. We're a valuable part of the aspec and queer communities, and we deserve respect and recognition just as much as any other aspec/queer identity.

Shoutout to aplatonic objectums on this aplatonic visibility day!
It’s okay to not be platonically attracted to humans, or to not want any friends besides your objects.
It’s okay to not be platonically attracted to your objects, and to want them in a different way than a friendship.
It’s okay to be the “loner who can’t connect with people” stereotype of the objectum community.
Aplatonic objectums are wonderful. I wish a good aplatonic visibility day to all aplatonics.

Happy Aplatonic visibility day!!!!
We haven't been great about including apl folx in the queer(and even aspec) conversations and I think today is a reminder of what we should work to change. My apl folx, y'all are valid and queer as it gets! And I hope y'all have the best day today!
Edit: fixed the typos 🥲

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!

Happy aplatonic day!!!!
...to the aro aplatonics who are tired of the focus on "friendship over romance 😌" in aro positivity!
...to the alloro aplatonics who prefer romance over friendship!
...to the loveless aplatonics!
...to the aplatonics who feel a lot love!
...to the greyplatonics!
...to the disabled aplatonics because y'all are great!
...to the aplatonics with personality disorders who get labelled as cold and unfeeling because of that!
...to all the aplatonics in this Earth!
...and maybe in space too.

It's aplatonic visibility day, so here's a rant I've had in me for a while. If you're not aware, aplatonic means I do not feel platonic attraction/platonic feelings/platonic connection.
Platonic is not a synonym for non-romantic. I understand why you all like to emphasize how Supernatural lifts a non-romantic relationship to the same level, if not higher, than romantic ones. That is indeed a unique and special thing. We should point that out for both ship and non-ship reasons. However. Platonic is not the word to use. Platonic specifically relationship between friends. Generally, platonic means the people involved aren't family. Platonic bonds are a very specific thing, not just the absence of romance.
I understand that this doesn't matter to a lot of you, but to me? I do not feel romantic feelings. I do not feel platonic feelings. I do feel familial feelings. There is a reason I have fallen so deeply into this show, and that reason is that early seasons Sam and Dean do not have friends. The relationship is exclusively familial (and sexual if you read it that way) and those are the two types of attraction I do have.
To be clear this is also not to throw any shade on the idea that Sam and Dean are in a QPR because that's just true. I just think we in the aspec community could stand to come up with a broader term for non-normative relationships that does not include the word platonic. As we currently stand, that does not exist, so yeah, QPR is a totally valid and correct and fine term to use and I don't have any problem with it.
But yeah. Platonic ≠ non-romantic, and I think just about any reading of Sam and Dean makes it obvious that they are not friends. They are brothers. They are potentially more. But they are not platonic.
Thank you from your local aplatonic wincestie, and I encourage you to read more about aplatonicism!

Been seeing a lot of aplatonic spectrum hatred so I'd like to inform everyone that we're caedplatonic collectively, though the amount differs between seraphims
