about polyamory

polyamory is the act of engaging (or the desire to engage) in multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships at the same time with the consent and knowledge of all partners involved. it originates from the greek word "poly" which means many, and the latin word "amor" which means love.

there are many different types of poly relationships and dynamics, so it's important to not assume all poly relationships are structured the same way!

the ships i post can be percieved as any type of poly relationship that you see fit! (with exceptions)

  • Hierarchical Relationship - A poly relationship where certain partnerships are considered above others and/or are given more powers in setting rules. Usually used when an existing monogamous partnership decides to become polyamorous and is thus seen as the 'main' relationship.
