alterous

A type of love that is neither completely platonic nor romantic. When you have alterous feelings for someone, you want to be close to them in any way. You might want to date them, yet not feel heartbroken if they say they'd rather be friends. But conversely, if they asked you out, you'd be happy to accept. Just so long as your relationship is close and strong, you're happy!

Two alterous people might have a queerplatonic relationship with each other.

Alterous feelings can be very intense! If you experience alterous attraction but don't know about the term, it can be easy to confuse for romantic love. Just remember, romance isn't inherently stronger than other types of love.

Alterous attraction is common among asexual and aromantic people, but can be experienced by people of all orientations!

I love you, in an alterous way. I think of you as a close friend, and I'm completely satisfied with that. But if you love me romantically, I'd be willing to try dating you too. I'd even have sex with you if you wanted me to! So long as we're emotionally close, I'm happy. You mean everything to me, and I want to do anything I can to make you happy.

allegory

An Allegory is used to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings. The difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, while a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have a different meaning throughout a literary work.

"A Parable is like an allegory because the message has a hidden meaning"

MORE PRECISE EXAMPLE
"The monkey on a globe of the world"

The monkey may represent how humans copy each other and not standing up for themselves. The globe may represent how we (the monkeies) abuse it and not notice because we are to busy having fun.

allegory

1. A story used to make a statement or convey a specific meaning. Its setting, characters, and symbols can be interpreted as either figurative or literal.

2. The opposite of a georggebushy.

The Lord of the Rings is believed by many to be an allegory.

The idea of an environmentalist owning a private jet seems like a bit of an allegory to me.
