▲A '''zucchini''' is colloquially used as a term for a person's partner in a [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic relationship]]. The commitment level between those in a queerplatonic relationship are often considered to exceed beyond a [[Platonic Attraction|platonic]] relationship, however it does go beyond the traditional idea(s) of a [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]] relationship. Zucchinis may be of any [[Romantic Orientation|romantic]] or [[Sexual Orientation|sexual orientation]].

The term was created by Dreamwidth user meloukhia on December 25, 2010, in response to a post entitled "A/romanticism" by another user.<ref>[https://kaz.dreamwidth.org/238564.html?thread=1342436#cmt1342436 Dreamwidth post responding to the post "A/romanticism."]</ref> This is also the origin of the term [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]].
The zucchini flag was designed by FANDOM user Unfunny person420 on April 14, 2021. It combines the colors of the [[aromantic]] flag and the [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]] flag. The green stripes represent the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]], and the pink and yellow stripes represent queerplatonic relationships. White represents the uniqueness of the relationship and the blurred lines between platonic and romantic relationships.▼

In July 2014, the first issue of the ''Rotten Zucchinis'' zine was released, edited by two people only referred to as "Omnes" and "Nihil," stylized as ''Omnes et Nihil''.<ref>[https://acezinearchive.wordpress.com/ace-zine-list/general-ace-zines/rotten-zucchinis-the-zine/ Ace Zine Archive entry on ''Rotten Zucchinis''.]</ref> The zine includes general information about queerplatonic relationships as well as personal testimonies in essays and poems around relationships, with a general content warning for interpersonal violence and acephobia. Tumblr user rotten-zucchinis announced the release of the zine in their first post.<ref>[https://rotten-zucchinis.tumblr.com/post/92603127310/the-zine-rotten-zucchinis-issue-1-is-now Tumblr post announcing the first issue of ''Rotten Zucchinis''.]</ref>
Around November 2014, rotten-zucchinis released "Queerplatonic Zucchinis: A Short Primer: Asexual/Ace and Aromantic/Aro Language of Non-Normative Relationships," a more in-depth glossary than was published in the first issue of the zine.<ref>[https://rotten-zucchinis.tumblr.com/qpp Tumblr post announcing the primer "Queerplatonic Zucchinis."]</ref> The second issue of the zine, focusing on the potential negatives of queerplatonic relationships, including interpersonal violence, was released in May 2015.<ref>[https://acezinearchive.wordpress.com/ace-zine-list/general-ace-zines/rotten-zucchinis-the-zine/ Ace Zine Archive (again).]</ref>
