Sunflower Orientations

The sunflower orientations are a group of orientations for omniaspec angled/oriented people. Many times, the Split Attraction Model is thought to apply to people who are partially aspec, but not aspec for all their orientations, meaning people whose attraction comes from the part of their orientation that isn't a-spec. However, some people are a-spec in all their orientations. A-spec isn't the same thing as anattractional, so an a-spec orientation can still include attraction, just in a non-conventional way. Sunflower orientations are for people whose omniaspec orientations are still angled/oriented in a sapphic/achillean/enbian/etc. way.

This would be for people who are omniaspec, but not panaspec, meaning they’re not strictly anattractional but still omniaspec with aspec forms of attraction which make them angled/oriented. Sunflower- can be used for any orientation- juvelic, non-juvelic, miscellaneous, or anything else. For example, someone could combine sunflower- with their orientation and say they’re, for example, sunflower trixic, sunflower alexandritic, sunflower pan-, etc. etc. The following are just the three common examples.

Sunflower Sapphic
A sunflower sapphic is an omniaspec person whose aspec attractions are sapphic- for example, someone who is demi- in all their orientations but who is wlw/nblw still. It can be any form of being omniaspec while still feeling oriented in a sapphic manner, feeling strong connection with sapphic attraction and its labels, etc.

Sunflower Achillean
A sunflower achillean is an omniaspec person whose aspec attractions are achillean- for example, someone who is demi- in all their orientations but who is wlw/nblw still. It can be any form of being omniaspec while still feeling oriented in an achillean manner, feeling strong connection with achillean attraction and its labels, etc.

Sunflower Enbian
A sunflower enbian is an omniaspec person whose aspec attractions are enbian- for example, someone who is demi- in all their orientations but who is nblnb still. It can be any form of being omniaspec while still feeling oriented in an enbian manner, feeling strong connection with enbian attraction and its labels, etc.
