Fandom really needs to get behind queerplatonic realtionships "omg when the characters have a connection so intense that you can't explain if it's romantic or platonic but they're genuinely insane about eachother and there is no existing word for it" what you're thinking of is a queerplatonic relationship.

"the concept of queerplatonic relationships originated from the asexual community" and "anyone of any orientation can be in a QPR" and "it's weird to give an overview of QPRs that mentions asexuality without mentioning their significance to so many aromantic people" and "QPRs don't need to be non-sexual" are all true statements that can easily coexist

as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!

AROMANTIC PEOPLE

ASEXUAL PEOPLE

AND AROACE PEOPLE

ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

when reblogging, please add the pride tags I've included! if not, anybody liking your reblog will only see regular tumblr hearts :)

I ❤️ queerplatonic ships. They’re not lovers. They’re something more ☝️

psychoanalyzing the gender/identity dichotomy between ice skating and ice hockey and coming to the more objectively correct conclusion that ice hockey is rooted in motherly feminine behavior of protecting the nest and that ice skating is about masculine peacocking of one's own physical prowess in seeking a mate

Potential reasons to identify as asexual:

• Little or no sexual attraction
• Little or no sexual desire
• Little or no libido
• You don’t want to have sex and that’s significant to how you navigate the world
• When you do feel attraction, you have no desire to act on it
• When you feel sexually aroused, you don’t want to involve another person in it
• A disconnect from expectations and narratives of “normative” sexuality
• Any combination of the above

A lot of people identify as asexual based on sexual attraction. And that’s good and valuable. I just want other, or intersecting, reasons people identify as asexual to be respected too.

If you experience these things you don’t have to identify as asexual, and if you identify as asexual you certainly don’t have to experience all of these. But these are all real and significant reasons various people come to the asexual identity.
