Hey there :) Sorry, for the late reply.

One could say it's a different way of spelling. Though the * is meant to visually indicate that a*spec refers to mupltiple spectrums and all the labels with an a. For example:

analterous

ansthetic

aplatonice

aqueerplatonic

aromantic

asensual

asexual

asocial

It can also include agender for example. Though most often a*spec is used as a short term for the anattractional spectrum rather then including agender and other non attraction related labels.

Last year I created the aliqualterous and aliquaqueerplatonic flags based off of @genderstarbucks flags for aliquaromantic and aliquasexual.

Yesterday I decided to also do aliquansthetic, aliquaplatonic and aliquasensual. Which I did. But just now I found out someome already made some flags back in August. You can check them out here: https://www.tumblr.com/allegoriesandepithets/757561348673634304/large-pixel-size-aliqua-flags?source=share The design ist very very similar but since the colours are not exactly the same, why not share mine too.

Aliquasensual

Aliquasensual is an a*-spec and asen*spec orientation in which one only feels sensual attraction under certain circumstances. Aliquasensual can be considered an umbrella term, in which identities such as demisensual are included under it. However, aliquasensual can also be an identity on its own. For example, some individuals may only feel attraction to a very specific type of individual, or only when in a certain place or at a certain time.

The light orange colour, which is the same as in the asensual flag, was chosen as it represents sensual attraction.

Aliquaplatonic

Aliquaplatonic is an a*-spec and apl*spec orientation in which one only feels platonic attraction under certain circumstances. Aliquaplatonic can be considered an umbrella term, in which identities such as demiplatonic are included under it. However, aliquaplatonic can also be an identity on its own. For example, some individuals may only feel attraction to a very specific type of individual, or only when in a certain place or at a certain time.

The yellow colour, which is the same as in the aplatonic flag, was chosen as it represents platonic attraction.

Aliquansthetic

Aliquansthetic is an a*-spec and ansthetic*spec orientation in which one only feels aesthetic attraction under certain circumstances. Aliquansthetic can be considered an umbrella term, in which identities such as demiaesthetic are included under it. However, aliquansthetic can also be an identity on its own. For example, some individuals may only feel attraction to a very specific type of individual, or only when in a certain place or at a certain time.

The light pink colour, which is the same as in the ansthetic flag, was chosen as it represents aesthetic attraction.

Aliqualterous & Aliquaqueerplatonic

While at it I also made some upscaled versions of my older aliqua* flags:

Original Post with label definition: https://www.tumblr.com/drachen-auge/733458195078660096/aliqualterous?source=share

Initially I only wanted to make an alternative flag cause I don't particularly like the original one. But I also learned that that one one made by a problematic individual, as well as the term.

But since the term resonates with me I wanna use it in a reclaiming manner.

Neverisexual is an a-spec orientation described by one feeling disgust towards oneself and/or those involved after sexual interaction. This is different from Feasexual in the way that a neverisexual individual's attraction doesn't fade away, but one may experience disgust or repulsion as a result of sexual activity. This could affect one's sexuality and may cause one to lose desire or urges for sexual activity. https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Neverisexual

The term is not to be confused with sex-negativity.

alt text: The rectangular neverisexual flag by Drachenauge consists of six equally sized horizontal stripes. Top down the colours are: dark blue, blue, light blue, rose, light pink-violet, violet. In the middle is a lightning shape dividing the flag into three parts. The colours outside the lighntning shape are muted darker.

Flag meaning

Shades of blue: sexual attraction and or interaction and or (a)sexual spectrum Shades of pink and violet: sensual attraction and or interaction and or (a)sensual spectrum Lightning: disgust towards oneself and or others involved in sexual interaction Darker muted colours: disgust, repulsion and frustration

I chose to include the colours for sensual attraction because sexual interactions can include sensusal interactions and because for some people sexual and sensual attraction are tied together. Neverisexual does not inherently have a connection to a person's sensual or asensual attraction or to sensual acts.
