from olin (link) in toki pona and -age (link) in its relationship usecase

a strong relationship and link between two or more individuals based in olinanic (link) attraction where the individuals' olinanicism is intertwined together despite any personal differences in their definitions and experiences of olinanic attraction. olinages are deeply personal and instinctual to the individuals, celebrating their shared and distinct feelings for each other.

this may overlap or be used in tandem with queerplatonicism or QPRs for some individuals, but can be / is distinct in its own way.

an olinage may be associated with physical affection, comfort and trust, gentleness, love that transcends traditional forms of attraction, everlasting support, shared experiences, softness, commitment to seeing someone, understanding them, striving to make each other healthier, welcoming purposeful dependency and mutual need for each other, etc if they so choose.

olinages may be likened to or appear romantic in practice and explanation due to including typical forms of romanticism displayed in physical affection, deep love, petnames, and devotion to one another. individuals in olinages may internally confuse the two due to the similarities, the strength of the connection, and wanting or craving standard signs of romantic or other attraction. despite this, olinages are distinctly and comfortably unromantic and olinanic in nature.

these relationships are unlikely to pose "threats" or be comparable to other romantic relationships, if desired, due to their unromantic nature. however, olinages between multiple individuals may be likened to polyamory or a polycule, regardless of the individuals' personal -amorous identities in romantic relationships.

individuals olinages may refer to each other as their olin(s), link(s), or other partnered terms

olinages may overlap and exist in tandem with the individuals romantic relationships, if applicable. an example may be an olinage polycule where two are dating romantically, and consider each other to be both olins and romantic partners, experiencing a mix of both romantic+ and olinanic attraction

this is a fully self indulgent coin :^)
