Split Attraction Model (SAM) & More on QPRs

Edit: Thanks to @klavierpanda for correcting me! Romance-positive is supposed to be romance-favorable. I can't edit the photo right this second, but I will when I get a chance.

hcs below the cut ^^

Ok kenma is so very aro and so very gay. My favorite dynamics of his are bokuakakuroken and kenhina but he really gives platonic vibes even in those ships. i love the idea that hes aroace but still dating bokuto, kuroo and akaashi who also give various aspec vibes btw. i think i just really like characters in poly relationships where one part is platonic but means just as much because im self conscious about how much my friends care about me lol. but anyway. it’s obvious that kenma really likes hinata, we see it when they first meet and kenma just immediately gets a squish on him and then in the timeskip where he sponsors hinata like omg theyre so ahhh. i think he just really likes being around hinata and finds him fascinating. canon really encapsulates the beginning of a squish for me like kenma is just so intrigued and really finds hinata to be a really fun person to be around and opens up to him much more easily than anyone and i will die on platonic kenhina hill!!!

i talked a bit about kenkagehina in my aro hinata post but ill talk about it again. i think that kenma would be very competitive about hinatas attention at first and even later but after some time kageyama grows on him and they have a quiet understanding of each other. i dont think they would be dating in the polycule just mutually connected by hinata but i think their relationship matters a lot nonetheless.

kenma is the type of person to be really into relationship anarchy. like he probably wouldn’t understand why others put romantic relationships above everything else and he likes to let his relationships figure themselves out and never really picks a most important relationship.

also he and kuro have just such a good dynamic and they lowkey remind me of a childhood friend of mine who i used to have a squish on lol. they are just so good as best friends and i love how much they understand each other. they also give semi sibling vibes, obviously found family siblings so i think they would be much more cuddly with each other since theyre just used to it.

also i love thinking of all the dynamics in bokuakakuroken and one of my favorites is definitely bokuken. i think they compliment and understand each other much more than one would think and bokuto is probably a lot more reserved around kenma but in a relaxed way. kenma understands bokutos slumps and is there to confort him when he needs it and bokuto is an easy person for kenma to be around because he doesnt feel like he has to talk if he doesnt want to and now im just talking about how theyre both neurodivergent and- ahhhh

anywayyyy some mini hcs that are semi related to him being aro

he hates being touched except by like 3 people

kuroo had a crush on kenma in middle school and kenma rejected him on accident and didnt even know until years later when kuroo told him

he took a lot of am i gay quizes and always got like 50% so he thought he was bi for a bit

very romance repulsed but sex ambivalent

also hes acespec to me (probably fraysexual)

Personally as an aroace being in a queerplatonic relationship and/or a poly relationship sound really freeing to me. I feel like in a QPR there would be less pressure to be more amatonormative or present that way. The kind of "omg I totally thought you guys were dating" sort of relationship that just comes from the pure intimacy of willing to be comfortable around each other and to be intimate without necessarily having to involve kissing/sex/"real" intimacy (and the possible aro or ace solidarity). Meanwhile in a poly relationship I feel like at least for me there would be less pressure be "involved" to an extent. A whole other person (or people) would negate a lot of anxiety on my part enough not being enough (especially if one or more of them are alloromantic). And potentially that's someone who can provide romance or sex that I just can't.

Obviously these are still relationships that you consciously need to put work into maintain and have open lines of communication and discussions of boundaries, etcetera, just like any "normal" relationship but that's really the point here. I'm not allo (and I'm perfectly fine with being "abnormal" by most societal standards, but that's obviously not true for all of us) in any way, shape, or form, so why should I have to fit myself into a little allo box?

#not to say that aros or aces or aroaces CAN'T be in a “normal” relationship because we totally can #but also we shouldn't have to be if we don't want to #there's probably a lot that could be criticized here but please don't be mean #just honest thoughts from a person who is comfortable with their aroace identity but still figuring out how to navigate the world as one #speaking of which I feel like this isn't something you can just. discuss outside of tumblr #I would be surprised if a random person on the street knew what a qpr is #or if they didn't think polyamory was just cheating or like. have negative connotations about it #which makes it hard to discuss and explore topics like these outside of internet anonymity #and there aren't a lot of communities that are as varied and unhinged as tumblr so I'm thankful I can spit this out at the end of ace week #ace week #asexual awareness week #acespec #asexuality #ace pride #ace week 2023 #asexual spectrum #aromantic spectrum #aroace #aromantic #aro pride #arospec #aspec #asexual #qpr #qpr pride #queerplatonic #queer platonic relationship #polyamory #polyam relationship #polyam pride

Aro Pokémon fans!! What do you think the aro Pokémon mascot would be? And say why! Can just be the first thing that pops in your head or it could be deeply thought out and profound

(I might draw some of them….maybe……..)

My aromantic experience:

When I tell my friends I'm aromantic and they know what it is

See I kinda assume not everybody knows about aromanticism so it's a superise when they actually know what it is.

There are star boys, playing on the moon

Happy aromantic awareness week! Here are little aro stars playing on the moon

[ID : a digital drawing of a crescent moon on a purple background with stars. 20 small white star-shaped creatures are on the moon. They all have a pointy hat and are wearing something sleeveless that covers their whole torso and the top of their legs. The hats and the clothing are all green, light green, gray or black, the colors of the aromantic flag. The creatures are seen playing, doing head stands, balancing on top of each other, hiding behind the moon, jumping from the top, sleeping, hugging, and doing other playful activities. /end ID]
