[platonic-culture-is]

you're not alone in this trust me lol

do yall ever just, platonically fall head over heels for someone?

like, right after you meet them, you feel this super intense connection and the vibes go so hard when you're together, and you kinda hyperfixate on them just a little, like you think about them a whole lot, and they just make you so happy, but you don't wanna date them.

do other people get that or am i the only one who's experienced it like 4 times over?

qpr culture is this:

[eddieisashifter]

how do you explain to an alloromantic person the desire to have an intense emotional connection with someone, but not romantically?

Like, you're my soulmate, but not in the way where we're lovers. You're my soulmate as in you're like an extension of myself, the person I can't imagine living without. The air in my lungs, the ground beneath my feet. The eye of my storm.

You're my best friend in the greatest definition of the word. My love, but not my lover.

When you're so devoted to someone that the lines of platonic and romantic become completely irrelevant.

[shiutsu]

I got the idea from some of the reblogs from my previous aplatonic dedicated post.

Like as I mentioned several times on this blog, alloplatonics obsess over friendships & think everyone has the same experience.

Like as if everyone had a specific friend they just like the most out of the other friends & who would pick them over anyone else.

Like man idk where you got that,but I recommend you to open your eyes or stopped smoking something since this is the most delusional shit I've seen.

Not everyone is the fucking same!! Like if you spread nonsense how every single person is different but think that everyone acts the same or has the same opinions as you, then you're pretty hypocritical.

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is being confused when an allo person says the person they married is "their best friend". Like does that mean you don't like each other romantically or???? Idk it just confuses me sometimes because I have no clue what romantic love is supposed to feel like

[questioning-aspec-culture-is]

questioning apl culture is having difficulty differentiating between emotional attachment and platonic attraction

<3

[apl-culture-is]

Apl culture is realizing admiration =/= wanting to be friends with someone. Jus bc you find the way they act, or their clothing really cool and look up to them does not mean u wanna be their fren!! And getting real uncomfy whenever they talk to you bc admiration causes ✨️extra✨️ anxiety bc u care about what they think since u look up to them- unless this is what wanting a friend is idfk??

[qpr-culture-is]

I feel that I should go on record and say that with how unique a qpr is to each individual couple, no one should ever worry that they aren't doing theirs "correctly" because of posts on this blog

this is a culture is blog but all the same it is more or less to share personal experiences and positivity. it's highly unlikely you'll relate to everything (and maybe sometimes almost nothing) but thats perfectly fine!

[aesthetic-attraction-culture-is]

Aesthetic attraction culture is aesthetic crushes... squeezes? Squeeshes??

[tertiaryspec-culture]

platonic-spec culture is missing the infatuation that comes with getting a new squish

.

[aro-culture-is]

aro culture is swinging violently between wanting to sever all connections ive ever had and move into a cave in the woods and wanting to be Best Friends with everyone in a 10 mile radius

.

[aspec-culture]

Aro culture is not knowing that platonic attraction is and assuming that that person you were platonically attracted to was a romantic crush and trying to force yourself to think of them romantically then thinking you're a boss for getting over that crush so quickly until you figure out that it was actually platonic attention years later

[qpr-culture-is]

qpr culture is this^

does anyone want to be best friends that also live together and go on adventures together but like mundane adventures like ikea and target and also wants to lay our heads on each others shoulders when sleepy but also have separate bedrooms but also enjoy spending most of our free time together……. just me? ok

[questioning-aspec-culture-is]

questioning arospec culture is not knowing if you're greyromantic and actually don't experience romantic attraction often or if you just don't understand the difference between platonic and romantic attraction
