Platonic Non-conforming

An umbrella term for friendships (and other similar relationships) and people that don't conform to the typical societal expectations of friendships.

Platonic Non-conforming may include:

Friends who are openly affectionate

Aplatonic people

People on the aplatonic spectrum

Friends who are mistaken for lovers

Exes who are still friends

Friends who kiss or cuddle

And more!

However platonic non-conforming is a self given label, and even if you fit the description here, you don't have to identify with this label.

The acronym is PLANC.

don't repost <3 ask before adding to wikis

this isn't a gender, do not tag as such.

Anoying autonormativity stuff is when there's this ONE CHARACTER in a story that is not in a relationship. ONE COMPLETELY HAPPY AND SATIFIED CHARACTER in a story. and then people automatically start wanting relationships for them. Like NO leave them alone ):<<<.

also people can ship whatever characters they want as long as it not illegal or harmful. I just want more characters like this without, and it can be frustrating when the few characters whom i can actually relate to aren't safe from relationships. Doesn't mean it's wrong to headcannon characters who aren't in relationships, though. This would be solved if these types of love were not seen as the most important things, and there was more representation for diverse ideas and aspects of different relationships.

If other aspec people want to talk about thier personal gripes about media here please do. I talked mainly about romance, but this is much broader than that.

hi how do you know if you are aplatonic thankss

hello! i'll link a couple of posts I've made or reblogged about this topic because at the moment i don't have the brain cells to explain it. i didn't really 'find out' i was apl, it was just sort of a... series of connections in my brain over time and then i learned the term and felt it was applicable to me

here here here and here are four posts that I think the concept of 'aplatonic' is gone further into detail about for you anon, i really hope these are able to help you out a little more than my dvd-loading-screen-ass brain cells at the moment

(and again the process of knowing or 'finding out' an identity is so different for everyone so my experiences aren't universal ofc so don't ever feel bad if the process/journey different than you expect)

Impersonal Attraction Flag

An umbrella term or a modifier for a form of attraction that involves interpersonal interaction, but does not involve personal factors

The kind of attraction that’s based on a desire to be acquaintances with someone or for Acquaintanceship. A useful term for Aplatonic/Apl-spec people

Flag colors are based off of the Acquaintanceship flag and have the same meanings, though on this flag the white and grey are specifically kept in as a callback to the original Impersonal Attraction flag. Format was chosen to mimic the Aplatonic and Platonic Attraction flags, I also swapped the order of the Blue and Cyan to make it less similar to the Fray- flags.

Made by request for anon, a more simplified/easily reproducible set of flags

Impersonal Attraction symbol here for anyone who'd like to use it (it's transparent I promise)

Somepeople helped me learn several different aspec identities that I have never heard before and get even less representation than arospec and acespec identities. Here is what i learned:

Annatractional- feels no atraction whatsoever

Aphysical-complete lack of physical attraction

-Asexual- Lack of sexual attraction

-Ansthetic- Lack of aesthetic attraction

-Ansenseual-Lack of sensual attraction

Aemotional-Lack of emotional attraction

-aromantic- Lack of romantic attraction

-nonalterous-Lack of desire for emotional closeness

-alplatonic- Lack of platonic attraction

Atertiary(considered offensive to some, people have suggested eriattraction instead)-A term used to describe a lack of several different types of attraction besides the attractions in the physical and emotional categories.

It is a spectrum so some people may still feel some of these despite identitfying as them. These are labels some people use to feel comfortable with with who they are and push the stereotype of what love should be or that love is above all and also for reasons thay are personal and unique to them. These labels are important to people and should be respected. Because it's who they are. I hope one day there will be stories that can use all these different unique ways of being. I hope expectations of attraction will be teared down and everyone can just be who they are. But for now lets spread awareness. Society is rigid and does not care. Lets change this for everyone to be thier unique selves.

( I may have got some things wrong so please do not hesitate to correct me)(I am new to a lot of this and have never heard of most of these until recently).

can someone explain being aplatonic/afamilial to me??? i literally have questions so, feel free to answer anything or don’t idk?

1. how do friendships/platonic relationships work when you are aplatonic?

2. do u just not want or need friends when you’re aplatonic? do u need them but not want them?

3. what do you feel when you’re aplatonic? when you’re ace like i am you don’t feel sexual attraction and when you’re aplatonic you don’t feel platonic attraction, so if you don’t feel it what feelings do you feel for your friends?

4. how do your familial relationships look like if you’re afamilial? what exactly do you not feel? love for them? if so then what do you feel for them? attachment? also platonic attraction maybe instead?

5. how did you know you are aplatonic OR afamilial OR both.

**IN NO WAY I MEAN THIS AS AN INSULT I AM ASKING GENUINE QUESTIONS ABOUT A TOPIC I DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND! I DONT GET PLATONIC/FAMILIAL ATTRACTION AS WELL I CANNOT PINPOINT WHERE IT STARTS AND ENDS HENCE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU DO FEEL**

I'm trying to think of a way to word this that doesn't sound combative or insulting but if you're aromantic, asexual, and aplatonic does that mean you don't make any kind of connection with anyone at all? Romantic, sexual, and platonic are the only kinds of relationships I understand so what can you have for others if you have none of those feelings at all?

thanks for asking, I totally get it that it's confusing, it is sometimes for me too

so with my aromanticism and asexuality, those are more easily understood and 'mainstream' (so to speak) identities with clearer definitions and larger communities of people, so I can find them for myself more easily

my aromanticism means that I don't desire romantic relationships or actions with anyone, and my asexuality means I don't desire sexual actions or thoughts with anyone

with aplatonic it's a little harder to define. for me, it means that I don't have the urge to make friends or be friends with more people. I do HAVE friends, but it was kind of like an extrovert deciding that I'm their friend now. I don't actively hate friendships if they come my way, and my friends are special to me, but i don't seek out new friends or feel 'fulfilled' by any friendships (because I feel fulfilled just being me). so I don't NEED friends, but they're nice to have if they come my way.

there is connection I do feel though! I'm very picky and VERY protective of my familial relationships, to the point where even though someone might not be blood related to me, I can consider them family. I have a younger brother, and I value him over all other people. sometimes I think of the kids I take care of at summer camp as family.

I have connections with people intellectually and professionally, and I see those as types of relationship dynamics too. I love to talk with people about a shared interest or hobby, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a friendship. I talk with people I work with or professionals in my field of interest, and make connections that way.

as for what I 'have for others' I don't see basing my worth on how I relate to other people or what I 'offer' to them as a good way to live life. if I'm just happy being myself without any kind of traditional relationship, and it's not harming anyone, it's okay. there's no moral downfall in just being happy alone, im whole on my own.

Intro

This is a blog for people on the atertiary spectrum to talk about our experiences with being atertiary/ otherwise on the atertiary spectrum.

Atertiary refers to a disconnect from tertiary attraction and/or tertiary relationships, or little to no tertiary attraction. Tertiary attraction is any attraction thats not romantic or sexual, it is also called nonrose or eriattraction. Atertiary spec (aterspec) ppl may nor not be on the aro and/or ace spectrums, and may or may not be favorable to tertiary/nonrose relationships.

Some atertiary spectrum identities include aplatonic, asensual, analterous, etc.

We support all system types, if you don't, this blog is not for you and we will block you. Same goes if you're against atertiary orientations and/or an exclusionist.
