I know you have a bunch but fuck it, I’ll take the chance ☺️

Any time! Having more terminology to better explain/understand things is always helpful in any context!
I’ve put a lot of time and effort to understand poly terms so I can clearly explain and help destigmatize the practice!
Language only properly functions if it’s modular after all! ☺️

Yeah for sure! Kitchen table essentially just means that you and your metamours are comfortable sharing a space and socializing with each other (like around a kitchen table) and it can absolutely overlap with a closed poly dynamic! ☺️

It also weirdly teaches people about different poly dynamics which is very nice!
Karlach is parallel poly since she’s fine with you being with Halsin but doesn’t want to hear explicit details.
Shadowheart and Astarion are kitchen table poly.
And Gale and Wyll are strictly monogamous.
