#polyamorous culture

[polyamorousmood]

All the jokes are "polyamory so we can afford a house!" but the grim truth of the matter is, before you can even get to that you gotta spend extra money on gas to go see all your honeys 😔

GUYS I just saw the cutest poly quote from the randomest minecraft video, they said:

"two hands, each one can have a ring"

AHHHHH THAT'S SO CUTE OMG

[polyamorouscultureis]

Polyamorous culture is liking multiple people at once and just. Never actually getting any relationships because none of them feel the same about you lol

PLEASE SPREAD TO ALL AROACE AND POLYAM BLOGS THAT YOU CAN

Hey guys just so you know there’s a aphobe and polyphobe going around and leaving hateful messages. Just go ahead and block aphobic-polyphobe before they come harass you.

y’all why is exclusivity and monogamy the default? why are open relationships something that needs to be discussed? why is it the expectation that, unless you’ve both agreed the other partner is “””allowed”””(weird as fuck possessiveness) to see other people, their body belongs to their partner? why is the assumption made that you owe your body exclusively to your partner upon entering a relationship? why is someone keeping their body as theirs and theirs only the exception instead of the rule?

I keep clunkily saying "first gf" and "second gf" when I'm talking about my gfs to people who don't know them both by name. It's awkward and I always end up making some joke about needing to come up with a better term but idk what that could be. I don't want to make it sound like one is more important than the other. Any ideas?

I know it’s pretty common in the poly community to assign nicknames to partners. A lot of people will default to first-letter-of-names when asking for advice or talking about situations (kind of like Reddit?). Other people will have themes for their polycule and come up with themed names (see @welcome-to-the-petting-zoo). Even outside of poly culture people come up with nicknames for their partners (like @safety-pin-punk refers to himself as Key and calls his boyfriend Mountain Boy). It’s a common and well-cherished practice both in the poly community and the queer community on a whole and also in the wider cishet community (calling partners just pet names in general).

Polyam Plural culture is having your system intertwined with your boyfriend's system through everyone dating each other.

[aro-culture-is]

poly aro-spec culture is feeling invalidated as an aro because you still have some level of romantic attraction or desire to date and are in relationships, and people see aros as entirely loveless or haters of romance. while thar may be true for some esp for us with romance repulsion, its not true for all and kinda hurts..

[ambiamorous-culture-is]

I love this blog sm! Just realized I’m ambi (if that’s the short word for it) and I hardly see any representation or anything for it. I mean—there was AHS: Hotel, but the throuple ended terribly 💀😭 it’s really nice to see more about it on here.

Hiiii, so sorry I took so long to respond! I completely agree, and that’s why this blog was started- while polyamory is becoming more talked about, very few people know of ambiamory, so it’s important to have at least some mention

[mystorii333]

Being polyamorous doesn’t always mean several partners, for me I want to be locked in with my masc presenting woman and a feminine presenting woman along side them being in a relationship and all three of us in a relationship also. There is no hierarchy in the dynamic I want.

[polyamorouscultureis]

polyamorous culture is figuring out a semi-functional way to walk around with three people holding hands lol

now if only we can figure out four…

polyamorous culture is taking over the entire sidewalk

[polyam-aro-culture-is]

sorry this isn’t a culture ask but do I count as a polyam aro if I’m aroace and have multiple queerplatonic partners?

Honestly, it’s whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to call yourself polyam because of having multiple QPRs then great! If you don’t feel comfortable with that you don’t have to use the label.

Personally, 2/3 of my relationships are QPRs and that’s part of why I call myself polyam. The other part is because I am open to the idea of having another romantic partner. However, due to my flavor of aromanticism I feel like it’s fairly unlikely that I will have another romantic partner. But I still call myself polyamorous because that is what I consider myself.

Long story short, use whatever label you feel most comfortable with, it’s your identity after all!

[queer-muslim-culture-is]

Queer Muslim culture is thinking back and realising you never had problems with your husband having more wives because you're poly af.

Which explains why you were disappointed that all 5 of you can't share a bed.

Yeah, I really can't with the extent to which Gerit-bashing in fic warps what actually happened in canon. Gerit did, like, two minor wrongs, saying at two different times that he wanted to be exclusive with Tally. That's it. Everything else wasn't really a wrong, just a culture clash. Yes, that includes the Hilari threesome. All of that was acceptable for High Atlantic non-monogamy. It's really weird for stories to excuse all of the war crimes and go out of their way for Tally to accept and forgive Citydrop and Puppeting and Liberia (not to mention pardoning Nicte and Scylla's mass murders) and then yet find that it's the above slights that are the truly unforgivable things, and make Gerit complicit with the Camarilla and shit. Really, people, really? (With some, uh, extra-diegetic Problematic spice when you look at interviews and see how proud the actors are of those characters as rare representation for men of color as viable love interests and unconventional gender roles.)
