Yeah, there isn’t a lithroromantic flag so I used the lithrosexual flag for melony since I headcanon that after axol died she turned lithroromantic (I can’t see her moving on after axol’s death)

And that’s cool! I love yuri nuzi too! :3

I like to think that Uzi and the Disasembly Drones are one weird polycule. Doll is also there too maybe but i mostly like her with Lizzy-Bibi

[brookiedaaroacecookie]

yo have u got frayromantic yet?

oh and also lithroromantic

also nebularomantic!

There’s also a ton more identities on the site where I linked all the info so if u wanna check if u missed any more, then there stuff there!

The Aromantic spectrum part 2

So here’s a bit more info on each on + the flag and some new terms! Thanks to everyone who added onto the first post!

Recipromantic

Recipromantic people will only feel romantic attraction to a person if the person expresses romantic attraction first. ( @recipromantic-culture-is​ Thanks for teaching me about this one!)

Aegoromantic

Aegoromantic, (previously known as Autochorisromantic) describes those who enjoy the concept of romance but do not have a desire to participate in romantic activities.

Aroflux

People who identify as aroflux may experience their romantic orientation as fluctuating between experiencing and not experiencing romantic attraction.

I.e Some times Yes Romance, sometimes No romance.

(I really love this flag colouring)

Autoromantic

Autoromantic people may elicit romantic attraction from themselves, by themselves. (I’ve been leaning towards this slightly)

Cupioromantic

Cupioromantic describes those who do not experience attraction but do desire a romantic relationship. (Another one I lean towards)

(There’s actually 3 flags (?) , but this one is used the most it seems)

Demiromantic

Demiromantic describes people who do not experience romantic attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone. (According to most definitions)

Desinoromantic

Desinoromantic people do not experience “full-on” romantic attraction, but do experience “liking” someone instead of loving them romantically. (This can be confusing, I’ll do more on this most likely)

Grayromantic

Grayromantic includes (but is not limited to) people who feel very low amounts of romantic attraction, rarely feel romantic attraction, only feel romantic attraction under specific circumstances, or are not sure if they experience romantic attraction. It is usually be considered a romantic equivalent to gray-asexuality.

Iamvanoromantic 

Iamvanoromantic is the desire to not show romantic affection to someone but you may have the desire to receive some 

Quoiromantic 

Quoiromantic is where you can’t tell whether or not you experience romantic attraction or you can’t tell what kind of attraction you are feeling.

Placioromantic 

You don’t have the desire to receive romantic affections but you do have the desire to show some

As always, please let me know if I’ve got anything wrong, or if i should add anything!

Hi, so I’m asexual and have been comfortable with it for like a year and a half. However, I keep changing my romantic labels. It always stays on the aromantic side though. I have been using greyromantic, but lately have been wondering if my “crushes” were actually just queer platonic or alterous.

So my question is, if you’re aroflux could that include feeling like you’re lithromantic one week and then greyromantic recipromantic the next? Or is there another term for feeling like your romantic orientation changes? Also, would this make sense for my not being able to tell if my “crushes” are actually crushes or just a combo of alterous, aesthetic, and sensual? And can my attraction towards the person change from me liking them romantically to not liking them, but then liking them again after xyz?

My last question, is aroflux technically under the greyromantic umbrella?

Sorry if any of this was confusing at all!

I believe aroflux includes all arospec identities, not just grey areas. It also means fluctuating in intensity of attraction. There's abroromantic, sometimes some distinguish the two as abroro includes alloromantic identities. But arospec terms don't exclude "alloromantic"/non-aromantic identities (e.g. demipanromantic). Aroflux can fluctuate to a black area/null state, dark grey and light gray. And for intensity, it can go to high (hyperro?/perissosro), low (hyporo?) and absolute (euromantic)/regular (alloro?/zedro?) attractions too.

Not sure if there's a fluitic/multi-attraction equivalent for crushes/squishes/etc.

Wednesdays Weekly LGBTQ Word: Lithroromantic •a person who feels romantic attraction but does not want it reciprocated•

[aro-culture-is]

hi! this is more of a question than a ‘aro culture is’, sorry in advance for any bother!

i knew for awhile now that i was on the arospec (aroflux), and i recently came up with the label ‘akoi/lithroromantic’, which could resemble to cupioromantic (to which i was hesitating to lean to) . i was wondering if an individual considering themselves aro/akoi/cupioromantic could still be in a committed relationship (surely not as close as a typical romantic (allo) committed relationship but) ?

yeah. in general, i'd say that whatever labels bring you community, comfort, or even just a sense of self... use them. as long as your relationships work for you, that's you and your partner(s) business, not ours :)

[stfudiscoinfernoed]

"There are queer people who are not lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans." LMAO WHAT. Queer Theory and Tumblr discourse out here really making people's brains leak right out their ears. What does that even mean??? And I know for sure they don't mean "non-anglo/indigenous communities that don't use certain labels for considering them soft colonization thru language & prefer to use their own words" but that they actually mean "Greg the biphobic and serophobic lithroromantic ace" or some shit like that

I swear to you I saw someone assert that polyamorous people should be considered queer and that their friend was publishing a queer theory article to prove it.

Like I truly emphasize with people who struggle finding the label that works best for them, but its astounding how out "queer" is used to mean "attracted to trans/nonbinary people" or "bisexual but doesn't want to use that label."

hi. i'm curious if there is an aro or ace spec term for having attractions but losing or decreasing them once it's reciprocated? i looked up fraysexual but i don't feel its quite accurate for me, since it's not about getting to know someone but rather obtaining reciprocation. and it's not that reciprocation isn't desired, it very much is, but when it is reciprocated and acted on, attraction just starts to dwindle away. could i be aspec or do i just, like, have attachment issues lol

part 2 if i may ask, using the cereal metaphor. for me, attraction is often: i am hungry. i look at the cereal options. i crave cereals that are particularly hard to reach, and spend a lot of time idealizing these specific cereals & imagining eating that cereal. bc it's hard to reach it makes me crave it even more. if i DO get the cereal, i have myself a bowl & it's like the best cereal i ever had! but then bc i had it, every bowl of it i have again gets less appealing. is there a term for that?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For part 1, the closest I can think of is lithroromantic/lithosexual. They feel romantic/sexual attraction, but either don't want it reciprocated, or lose interest when they find out it is. Here's more information on it: https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Lithosexual.

Part 2... That's a tough one. If I'm interpreting it correctly, it sounds like you feel attraction towards people who are unattainable, and you idealize them in some way. And the fact you can't have them makes you want them more, but then you lose interest when you do have regular access to being with them? Assuming this is the case, I can't find anything exact. Again, the closest thing is probably lithromantic/lithosexual and maybe even frayromantic/fraysexual, though you said you ruled that one out.

And of course, you can always call yourself grayromantic/sexual or a/aro/acespec. Those labels are there for anyone who feels that they experience sexual attraction rarely, or only under specific circumstances.

Something worth noting: It's okay to identify as a label where you don't tick off every box. Everyone identifying as a microlabel has their own interpretation of it. (Example: I'm starting to get more comfortable with demiromantic/sexual. I don't truly know some of the people I'm attracted to, but for me, I observe them enough to get an idea of what they're like. Accurate or not, I project that idea onto them, a bond forms, and then attraction hits. Afaik, this isn't the way the average demi experiences it, but I still need a bond before I feel attraction which follows the vaguest definition of the term.)

Lots of people identify with labels that don't fit exactly. They just go for the one they're most comfortable with. If everyone had to fit a label 100%, there'd be millions of labels and not enough people sharing that label. And if there's not enough people sharing a label, you won't get the flags, discussions, and community that come with it. No one can stop you from identifying as whatever you’re most comfortable with.

uh hey look up “akoiroromantic” or “lithroromantic” for me (I hope I spelled those right)

Alright, just give me a sec

[lgbstims]

thank you for that... lol it seems silly but the split attraction model (romantic/sexual orientation) makes me so uncomfortable. and recently it's facilitated bullying and of course shaming gay people for talking about their love interests.

I feel the split attraction model should only be used by asexuals. For the rest of us romance and sexuality are inherently tied, its unhealthy to deny that. “Lithroromantic” is particularly unhealthy, it means not wanting your attraction reciprocated. I think if you feel that way you need a therapist, not a pride flag.
