/pt: olinanic. end pt/

from olin (link) in toki pona and -ic (link) as it's used in platonic, romantic, etc

an attraction that is at its root most similar to platonicism but extends far beyond what it means to the point where it becomes a strong unspoken feeling that feels distinct, deeply and emotionally bonded, and cant be fully or truly described using typical attraction modifiers or labels.

olinanicism is extremely personal, being so deeply intertwined with an individuals definition of attraction and what love and devotion mean to them. no two individuals have the exact same version of this attraction, something that olinanic is founded on. the beauty in difference, loving someone so personally and instinctively. olinanic attraction is fully yours, while being intertwined with your individual of interest and theirs.

it is a serious and committed feeling of love, even if unrequited, and lends itself greatly to life-partner relationships that fall outside of what's considered the norm. it is comforting and quiet, and it is strong and unmoving. it is bright and subtle and it feels deeply intertwined in one's view of someone, for the better.

olinanicism may be likened to or appear romantic in practice and explanation. individuals who experience olinanic attraction may also confuse the two themselves due to the similarities. despite this olinanicism is distinctly and comfortably unromantic on its own.

olinanic attraction can work in tandem with queerplatonicism, fragarian (link), aromanticism, aplatonicism, and their spectrums, as it rests outside of amatonormativity and thus does not necessarily require any individual attraction. though this isnt necessary in the slightest.

may be referred to as olinan for short

an olinanic relationship is called an olinage (link)

olinanic partners may refer to each other as olins, links, or any other partnered language

this is a fully self indulgent coin :^)
