There are lots of terms in aspec spaces like queerplatonic, alterous, or tertiary that essentially just mean “not platonic or romantic,” but platonic essentially just means “not romantic,” and romantic doesn’t have any accurate definition as far as I’m aware. That’s not to say that any of these terms aren’t valuable, I just think everything is fake.

People get so confused when I try to explain the type/s of attraction I feel. But let me put it like this: I "fall in love" with someone's character. I don't want their body - I want their presence. I don't lust after them - I admire them. I don't want a romantic relationship - I find them fascinating. Interesting. Fun. They challenge and compliment me. They're loyal. They're funny. They're not two-dimensional, they're a well rounded character. I fall in love with someone as a character, as an arc, as a person. As a friend. People seem to read this one of two ways - it's romantic, or it's just platonic and I haven't found the right person yet. *sigh* the definition of platonic is 'deeply affectionate but not romantic in nature'. So yeah, it's platonic. It's deep. It's affectionate. It's not romantic. It's just as good though, so can we stop saying 'just'?
Like, you know when people have gay panics? I want that, and frequently experience it, but in a platonic way. As in, wow what you did was really impressive/intersting I want to get to know you and spend time with you kind of way. Not in a wow I want to kiss you way. Someday I want to meet someone in a bookshop and 'flirt' with them or whatever allos seem to think it is, and get their phone number. And then, instead of asking them to see a movie as a date, I'll ask them to come and eat pop corn with my friends and watch a movie because I think they'll find it interesting. Make no mistake - I'm aroace, but I still want my meet cute. I want a platonic meet cute where I find someone, who's character is so full and interesting and bursting with life that I get their number and send them memes and geek out with them, and get to know them and admire them until we feel comfortable around each other. I just want to live with someone. To read together, watch tv shows together, listen to music together, go to the theatre together, without them being considered 'dates'. Because I don't want them because I want their body. I want them in my life because I like their character.
And if you think about it, I'm very lucky in this way. Because, while not everyone has a super-model body, the vast majority of individuals are so bursting with life that I am very, very, likely to find people, many people, whose character I love. To be honest, I've already found plenty. But, ever the "optimist", I hope I find more :)

— ASTRABOUND ; a type connection between two people that is not romantic nor platonic. this type of relationship can be described by a type of emotional connection based on a deep trust and understanding between two ( or more ) people. this type of relationship should feel secure. an example of what this relationship is similar to would be a pair of bonded cats. the term for an astrabound partner is stella / stellaium , or astrabond.
— what astrabound partnerships are not ; this type of relationship is not based on traumabonding , and such a relationship should not be considered astrabound. this type of relationship does not move fast , infact it typically takes years to develop. this relationship is not between platonic and romantic as it is not a part of that attraction system.
— coined by me & @royalroe
— made for personal use only , please do not use

Aemuloime
[pt: Aemuloime /end pt]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ids: 2 rectangular flags with 5 equally-sized vertical lines, and a thick line on the left and right. colors in this order from left to right: dark green, grey-green, greyish-green, light green, pale blue-green, light blue, greyish-blue, grey-blue, dark blue. in the center of the first flag is a dark green-to-dark blue copy symbol outlined in pale blue-green. /end ids]
Aemuloime Attraction: a type of attraction characterized by copying, imitation, & mimicry. this could be copying, imitating, or mimicking others, and/or wanting to be copied, imitated, or mimicked, for entertainment, as a form of flattery and/or affection, wanting to “be” someone/wanting someone to “be” you, etc. made with alterhumans/nonhumans in mind, as well as neurodivergent individuals, but not exclusive.
this attraction may be felt entwined with or at the same time as Amoinvidian (link), Envious (link), & Offis (link) attraction, but doesn’t have to be.
Aemuloime terminology can be decided by the user! but here’s some terminology we came up with:
aemush or aemulush; who one has aemuloime feelings for
aemu or aemupar; one in an aemuloime relationship
imitaem; the one being copied, imitated, or mimicked in the relationship
effiloime; the one copying, imitating, or mimicking in the relationship
aemuship or consoime; an aemuloime relationship
aemulity or aemuloimity; one’s aemuloime orientation

[ids: a transparent image, a dark grey copy symbol outlined in pale grey, a transparent image. /end ids]
Etymology: “aemulo” latin for emulate, imitate, be envious, & copy, “ime” meaning deriving from
for cam!

I just learned about alterous attraction and…
It perfectly describes how I feel. I don’t think google really explains it very well, so I’ll explain it how I saw it explained.
So basically, it’s the a-nonbinary version of love (a-nonbinary is where you’re outside of the binary as well as removed from the nonbinary spectrum, you’re your own thing.).
So, romantic is one end of the spectrum, and platonic is the other end. Queer-platonic is everywhere else on the spectrum. But alterous attraction is completely separated from the spectrum. It’s just its own type of attraction.
‘Romantic’ can also be replaced with any other type of attraction, such as sexual, aesthetic, sensual, etc, I’m just focusing on romantic attraction since that’s the one I was most confused about, so it’s the one I connect with the most.
I used this analogy to explain it to one of my friends and I think I got it down perfectly, exactly how I feel:
My attraction is like: warhead vs a Swedish fish. (Romantic and platonic attraction.) If you eat them both at once, it’s both sour and sweet at the same time, and you can’t really tell where one candy starts and the other ends. (Both of them mixed together would be queerplatonic attraction). But my attraction to people is more like a tart nerds candy. It’s still candy, and it still has a bit of sour and a bit of sweet mixed in, but at the end of the day, it’s its own flavor.
Feel free to use this analogy if you wish, no need to credit me, but please keep it related to alterous attraction if you do choose to use it.
But yeah, I’m very proud of this analogy, as it perfectly describes how I feel attraction to other people.
