It's so double demi of me to have literally twice the familial and platonic ships as I have romantic ships

[bugfail]

I made my own double demi flag because I recently realized I might be both demiromantic and demisexual?? Except I see it as one thing instead of separate?? Kind of like why the sunset aroace flag was made I think I can probably make a better explaination of flag color meanings when it's not almost 6 am and my adhd brain isn't running around lol lmao for now just think of it as. unity, between demiromantic and demisexual . wholeness :)

Info dump about being demisexual.

The best description I’ve seen for being demisexual is that people who are demisexual typically don’t experience primary sexual attraction but can experience secondary sexual attraction.

“Primary sexual attraction: A sexual attraction to people based on instantly available information (such as their appearance or smell) which may or may not lead to arousal or sexual desire.”

“Secondary Sexual Attraction: A sexual attraction to people based on information that's not instantly available (such as personality, life-experiences, talents, etc.), how much a person needs to know about the other and for how long they need to know about them for secondary sexual attraction to develop, varies from person to person.”

Quotes from this website.

That page also has a cool chart comparing primary and secondary desire and attraction and how different people experience them!

I’ve identified as demisexual for about a year now, when people ask I usually just tell them that I’m not sexually attracted to people without feeling like I’ve made an emotional connect with that person.

But for some demisexuals, there’s more to it than that. It’s all a spectrum.

Some people who identify as Demi, are much closer to asexual on the spectrum and experience sexual attraction very infrequently.

But some people find themselves attracted to everyone they’ve formed a deep personal relationship with, aka crushing on all your friends.

Demiromantic, a separate label entirely, is the same kind of idea just romantic attraction instead of sexual.

Demiromantic is not feeling romantic attraction until a deep emotional bond has formed.

Like I said, I’ve been demisexual for a year or so at this point. I’ve been playing with the idea of possibly identifying as both demisexual and Demiromantic, also known as double demi.

I’m a firm believer that you don’t need a specific label to feel secure and valid in your sexuality, labels are just for ease of communication. If that doesn’t work for you, that’s okay!

I have gone through phases of just telling people I’m queer and not elaborating at all. This has been especially useful every time I question my gender. I personally strongly identify with the label ‘queer’.

I hope this post finds other queer people and allies that are interested in learning new things, but really this is more of a vent post for myself as I consider my sexuality and play with labels.

Bonus queer flag:

(For dark mode users, there’s a black stripe on the bottom and the top of the flag.)

Being demiromantic is so weird, like I grew up expecting love at first sight but the only time I ever "caught feelings" is after a year or so of being best friends and then being in a QPR with someone! And now the feelings won't die after being broken up with them because they convinced themselves they were a toxic partner because they were offline most of the time!

Happy pride month to them 💖

Temerity & Beau WILL spoil their bat with lots of smooches 💋 Weich will squeak up a storm with all this extra love &… Damon’s just happy to be there 😂

It's done? It's done! What ever! Weee!

Might be subjected to change in the future BUT for now I'm happy with this! The body is still a little confusing but given the nature of it I don't think it matters how accurate it is. The head is consistent I think!

Edit: adding the Ace palette too since you all seem to like it so sure, it's also a canon variant for the sona now!

Anyone have dating advice for double demis? Most of the advice I see assumes someone is allo and feels attraction regularly, or at least, enough of a passing interest to pursue someone. I really enjoyed being romantically involved the last (and only) time I ever was, but since it happens so rarely for me, it feels really impossible at times to meet someone I’ll be able to click with in that way.

The advice doesn’t have to be specific to romance, I guess, since I enjoyed my last QPR, too. But the combo of arthritis, autism, and being double demi makes it really hard to get out, meet people, know how to keep conversations going, and the like. And online dating intimidates me :/

Not to mention the DWARFISM which gives me such childlike proportions that it doesn’t occur to most people to ask for my number. Sigh.

"That thing on your stomach..."

"A new strain of parasite. I deserve it, in a way. I created it."

"For the Merchants? Why?"

"I thought for the government. They're so mixed up with the Merchants now, they work for one another. This 'thing', as you call it, is growing. It's dormant now but it will soon grow larger... and kill me."
