#olinanic

/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 :^)

/pt: olinage. end pt/

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 :^)
