#platonic queer relationships

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

The friends to lovers trope but it is just platonic love. Why can't we have that more? Especially this between a boy and a girl. Because fuck amanormativity.

Ik this is probably the fifteenth time you've seen someone say this but we need more qprs in fandom space. Instead of shipping we'll call it canoeing and we'll make it just as popular. Please I need this ok

This can’t just be me, right?

[twinklerei]

The point of queerplatonic relationships is literally having relationships out of the common, that go against what is expected in a normal friendship or in a romantic relationship, its about breaking those society imposed rules, so guys, there is no correct way to have a qpr, or some kind of definition, you can do and have whatever you and your partner/s want always if you feel happy and comfortable!

Fuck you *queer platonics all your favorite ships*

no no they’re not dating. they’re a bonded pair and can’t be adopted separately.

Alastor: “Now, let’s talk about literally anything else please!”

Me: “Good! Cause I don’t know where you went so I can’t go further with this!😂”

Making Alastor and Rosie friends in canon and then having them pose like that was such a power move

Flashback to that one moment where it felt like I'd found an aroace cheatcode on life somehow

[runwiththerain]

more people need to be aware of the term alterous attraction (a desire for a close emotional connection with someone, but it's not completely romantic or platonic) and use it instead of calling everything a qpr. because by calling everything a qpr you are turning that term into a label instead of what it actually is - an umbrella term for many non conventional types of relationships.

@degenerate-mystery-inc-whore and I met on Tinder. And she is by far my best friend on the face of the Earth. I tell people that I’m in a QPR with a girl I met on Tinder, and often CisHet people are quick to ask things like, “Have you kissed,” or, “So you’re basically dating then?”

Sure, once I dressed as Lady Dimitrescu and shoved her against a wall, but that was just one time. Really? What’s amazing about our friendship is her calling me at midnight to tell me about a new Lego-train workaround she found. Or me talking for an hour about my favorite Godzilla films over the phone when I’m lonely. It’s making soup for her when she’s sick, and her making damn certain I eat when finances are tight.

I love her very dearly and I will never regret swiping right on Tinder.

I want to be someone's special person. Like. I wanna be the one you tell everything to. The one you think off when you see stupid cute videos. The one you talk about when people ask you about your partner.

I want an emotional connexion. Not someone to be in love with. Someone that don't drain me. Someone that put me first the way i put them first. I don't care if it's a qpr (queer platonic relationship) , a relationship or a friendship.

I don't want to be scared that you'll leave for someone you're in love with.

Allo peeps need to understand being aromantic isn't just "Ewww, romance". It's "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond, regardless of where that would lead me." Platonically, of course."

(But please keep in mind that for some it IS "Ewww, romance" And they don't need to be treated like they're not a part of this community, btw. This is an objective fact, btw. Aros are awesome, btw)

(This post is about QPRs and my experiences being aro, I just wanted to make a silly little post about that, aplatonics are valid and real this post was about me and maybe for people who relate)

[infiniteorangethethird]

it's aro week so here's a quick reminder to all my fellow aros that you don't have to "make up" for being aromantic. You don't have to love your friends twice as much to "make up" for romantic attraction you don't have to have a wide family you don't have to find The One in a qpr instead. If those things are something you want, go for it! But you shouldn't have to feel forced to go into any relationship just to make your aromanticism more palatable to outsiders.

Aromanticism isn't a hole that you need to fill. Sure it's a lack of romantic attraction but it's not a lack of self. You're already full and complete, whether or not you have more or less love in other areas of life. Do what you feel is right for you, not what others expect of you.
