Micro Labels - Tumblr Posts
Hey Yall-
I have been thinking about my asexual identity recently. I've never really identified with the word, or even any microlabels within it. I've always just said ace due to the complexity of my emotions. I've always just said,
"I'm ace until I'm not (but only for my bf, otherwise I'm just ace)".
I have not found a single term completely describing how I feel. I've found multiple different ones that describe bits and pieces, but never the whole story. I recently found 2 to add on to my 3rd label to completely describe how I feel, and they are the terms Cupiosexual and Reciprosexual- along with the term Demisexual that I've already sort of identified with.
Since I couldn't find a label, I've decided to make one for myself.
If anyone relates or likes the label/ flag, please let me know. I'd love to share. Also let me know if you come up with any ideas for it, like a better name or flag addition. But I made this for my own peace. Anyways, I introduce a new ace umbrella microlabel-
ROMISEXUAL
([row- mee- sexual] prefix- romi; mix of romance, reciprocate, demi)
-When one only feels sexual attraction when it is reciprocated or initiated by someone they have a deep connection with. A sexual relationship may occur as a result, but is not required.
Color meanings:
Black- Asexuality
Royal Blue- Deep connection or relations
Lavender- reciprocated affection or attraction
White- Sexuality
There's also a version with the cupiosexual symbol, indicating want for a sexual relationship with asexuality or no sexual attraction otherwise:
I am very proud of the colors and meanings and I'm so happy to have something to finally describe me. I hope this can make some others happy too!

So turns out I’m neptunic!
I’m a Demiboy (although I might be boyflux or genderfaun but idk) and I’m romantically (I’m ace and don’t experience sexual attraction) attracted to girls and NB people. I know the term neptunic is normally used in a way that excludes the attraction to masc aligned NB people but….. I don’t care! 😀 the queer experience is such a broad one, there’s no way everyone experiences things the same way, so, I’m going to use this label for what it means for me.
Anyways that means my current labels are:
Neptunic
Demiboy
Asexual
Demiromantic
And the pronouns I use are:
They/them
He/him
It/its
Fae/faer (pronounced fay/fare)
Xe/xir (pronounced zee/zir)
Any other neo’s!! The ones above are just my favorite ones!
*read this user’s DNI’s before interacting*
; the sentences " micro labels are valid and can be helpful and validating to people " and " people don't have to specify every part of their identity to you to be valid, and can use broad terms even if their actual experience is more specific " can and should coexist.
; do I understand every single specific of this persons queer identity ?? No. Does that mean they're invalid, lying and / or ruining my day ?? Also no.
