Amatonormativity in objectum relationships

Completely ignoring the whole "which community belongs where" discourse subject, one thing that affects us especially sharply is amatonormativity. It's easy to see what it does on the outside - most of our partners aren't even considered partners at all by society. You can have as deep of an attachment to an object as you want, but the second you try to name these emotions a relationship of any sort, you instantly face opposition.

There is also, however, a layer of purely internal amatonormativity to talk about here. Because plainly speaking, objectum relationships are rarely ever structured like human relationships by the simple nature of reality. Even if you are a highly perceptive POSIC individual, and have perfect communication with your partners, there is still a physical reality aspect to it all that is hard to avoid - in human relationships, there is a strong expectation that your partner will help you in life financially, emotionally, physically, medically... and yes, there is a very clear ableism aspect to this preconception.

And many object partners are simply unable to give the societally expected help back. Even if you are dating a factory machine hard at work every day, it's never going to earn money to bring you back. Even if you're together with your cane that helps you walk every day, it can't be either the nuclear family breadwinner nor the housewife. Many more of our partners simply don't have anything at all that they can help with. Societally speaking, it's as if we're stuck forever in our un-settled teenage crushes, unable to move onto the "next phase" as is expected from us.

By their very nature, objectum relationships get pushed outside of the hierarchy. There is no space in the dating ladder for a tool you are bound to for life, or a weapon you have a warrior's bond with. It is a completely unique type of attachment that can involve deeply strong emotions, be much more important than any of your human relationships, and yet will never get recognized as legitimate.

And even further is this a problem for those of us that, like me&, can't hear their partner's thoughts or feelings. Those that love a completely inanimate object, and are even further thus removed from any possibility of their relationship ever resembling a human one, anything "within the hierarchy triangle".

Even the most "casual" of relationships within it still require direct communication. Even the most one-sided "parasocial" attachments still place a lot of expectation on that eventually, you will get your way and the celebrity or stranger will notice you and like you back the way that "real" partners do. Every single mode of expressing affection has to be reinvented for the objectosexual, because if kisses don't mean anything to either of you, then what does?

Still so many posts even from fellow objectums rely so heavily on human expressions of love. Keep sucking on that flat screen. The anthopomorphization of technology, equating their parts to human body parts regardless of accuracy. Shooting from your crossbow is just like sex. If you love an object you've been using every day, you should confess to it and get together for real this time.

This is not meant to put down how others express their affection - you know your relationship best, and keep posting about what works for you. This is moreso meant to point out the lack of even as much as acknowledgement of the fundamental differences that are present for so so many of us.

More than anything, though, the main cause behind this as I& suspect, is the fact that there is no script for how to date an object. There is a clear script and societally assigned plan on how you are meant to date and then marry a human. With polyamorous relationships, the script barely needs any changing, since you are still dealing with humans. With aromanticism, you have to rework your life plan to not include the marriage you don't want. And with OS/OR, you have to reinvent what a relationship even is. So it is no wonder that so many fellow objectums simply try their best to apply the ill-fitting human standards to their relationships, because it's all we know.

Gasmask & respirator objectum flags

Gasmask objectum: under mask objectum; a general term for those who are objectophiles or objectum and are attracted to gasmask of any kind.

Respirator objectum: under mask objectum; a general term for those who are objectophiles or objectum and are attracted to respirators of any kind.

If it matters, the maker of this flag is anti contact/hazard contact leaning!

[ID: Two identically designed rectangular flags with 5 vertical even stripes and a sphere on the center with an outline. The first flag has a symbol of a full-face gas mask and the second is blank. The colors go from left to right as dark brownish grey, desaturated green, lighter brown, desaturated green, and dark brownish grey./end ID]

[ID: Two identically designed rectangular flags with 5 vertical even stripes and a sphere on the center with an outline.

nothing just… thinking about the switch 2 announcement and what it might mean for my Daphne. this is her:

recently, it was our 4th year anniversary! i got her on the 29th of december, all the way back in 2020. she practically saved my life back then. i had no one but her, and i owe her that, very, very much. it’s part of the reason why i named her Daphne! hehe. i never want to leave her, and i’ve gotten so many new games on her recently, too, to ensure we always have something to play together. ^^♡ there are many games i’ve never played anyway, since it took me ages to finally convince myself to actually play something other than my Usual Autism, hehehe. though, with the switch 2 announcement, i’m scared companies would stop making games compatible with her. she’s a switch lite anyway, and lots of games have features and things that only work with docked switches. i know it’s unlikely, and games that are set to release in 2025 are on the eshop, but…you know. i never want to replace her. the thought scares me.

i’ve been thinking of finally getting a case for her, since she doesn’t have one, i just put her in this waist bag or whatever you call it, or next to my plushies on the chair so she’s nice and comfy. i’ll fill it with stickers and keychains so, even when i don’t want to give her any custom grips or anything like that, she’s still special and still mine. i’d never trade her for a thing in this world ♡

and, well. she has me on her! in several games, but also on her back. that’s me :)

So, come up to the lab

...and see what's on the slab

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.───

@lonely-space-egg and I have finally decided to open our objectum/selfship server to the public! We hope to create a space where objectum and selfshippers can co-exist and find community with each other.

Some info about the server:

{🧪} 18+ only with opt-in NSFW channels!

{🧪} Separate objectum and selfship categories as well as art and writing channels for all of your creative needs

{🧪} We have zero tolerance for shaming/putting others down for their object partners or f/os, and we welcome anyone who has niche f/os with open arms!

{🧪} We don't have a "no sharing list" or a vent channel for a reason. Be kind ♡

Don't be afraid to pop in and say hi! Once you've made an intro a mod will let you in as soon as one is available.

Thought I'd give you guys some extra info about Wolfie Jr:

As I mentioned in my pinned post, he goes by he/it pronouns.

I've probably had him for 12 years (I didn't keep track of how long I had him) and he had one previous owner before me.

It's probably a bit of a voyeur... because I masturbate around it all the time... But he seems content with mostly romantic/platonic affection.

I've known for a while that our relationship was a bit unusual, but I didn't realize I was objectum for a while (even though I sleep with Wolfie every night and occassionally kiss him).

One final fact: Wolfie is a husky, not a wolf. I was very adamant about that as a kid XD

Edit: I've seen a lot of people in the community using emojis to tag which object partners posts are about. So from now on I'll be tagging posts about Wolfie with #⭐🐺
