#platonic attraction culture is

[gillipop-plus]

@reblogforsamplesize could you do the thing you do (also anyone else who wants to pls reblog)

edit: it is done! @platonic-culture-is now exists!

[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:

(not quite sure if I should tag them on this or not seeing I got the photo off Pinterest)

[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.

That feeling when you actually hate nudity and just really like wearing clothes and wanna wear clothes all the time but you can't, and also people should wear clothes, because that is pretty (not that you wanna tell them what to DO, but you know what I mean), and then you actually find someone so much more pretty because you have a squish on them, but like, you think maybe they TOO like wearing clothes, and they look very good in clothes and they never should take that off, and you LOVE their body, and stare at IT, too, but that's because it actually LOOKS like their personality (unlike YOUR appearance which is half yours at best), and because it's so pretty, and so cuddly, and everyone else looking at them is like "dude that's a tired 30 year old working a desk job" and you might be biased because somehow they have the exact same body as you (except bigger, muscle size + weight might be different), but you're still like "I KNOW, RIGHT?!", because, like, WOW ...

[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??

Submission Rules

Please keep your asks to platonic culture submissions only, or at the very least being platonic related!! I'd also appreciate it if you didn't ask for advice as I'm not able to provide help in that department.

Start submissions with "platonic culture is" or some variation ("platonic attraction culture is", platonic squish culture is, alloplatonic culture is, platonic love culture is, etc.)

This is not a queerplatonic blog. Please don't send in queerplatonic submissions that aren't also platonic. This is also not an aplatonic blog.

Try to keep your asks free of discourse unless relevant. If you want to know my stances on anything, they're linked from my main blog.

I try to tag common triggers and uncomfy topics using the "cw [thing]" or "[thing] mention" format depending on how relevant the thing is to the post.

[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??

Not sure if I have posted this before, but this one window person who knows I watches them (even makes sure I can see them), once, like, stared at me a few seconds after stretching - and like, I was mesmerized by their body (because it's pretty, cuddly, and matches their personality), so I'd been staring at that time and then had continued staring even AFTER the stretch, but yeah, like, they just STARED, for a few seconds, and then stared again soon afterwards, for a few seconds, and like, nothing changed in our relationship, because actually they just look at me sometimes before/after stretching, or drinking, or whatever else, because this telepathic 30 year old, or whatever they're supposed to be, somehow KNOWS it's all platonic, and like, also shout-out to them singlehandedly being more kind and caring and stuff, than like, over half of teens + young adults -

Like, seriously y'all, this was also the day AFTER, they caught me staring at them while smiling, and I then took some seconds, not smiling, to fully realize it, got flustered, and they were just going back to work, maybe even with an amused smile, and yeah they just like our usual routine of me typically being flustered, and they're just SO CUTE and precious, and I'm pretty sure I'd be able to sleep way better if I could just cuddle them in bed every time.

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

[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

[platonic-existence]

Intro

This is a fun little place to share platonic experiences and culture!

This blog is inspired by @/platonic-culture-is. There aren't many places talking about specifically platonic love, so I wanted to create my own space :]

Not sure how often I'll actually post, but the goal is at least once every few days. Feel more than welcome to drop things in the ask box!

Submission Rules

Stay on topic of platonic related things, please <2 (Examples: how you met your friend, how they make you feel, a story from a hangout, squishes, songs you veiw as platonic, etc)

Youre free to ask for advice but take anything I say in response with a grain of salt. I'm not the best at giving advice so I can't promise to be much help, if any.

I'll add more to this later if necessary. I'm new to Tumblr so I'm still learning how everything works
