Yup! I thought everyone grew up with a polycule of cool grandpas. My initially homophobic but eventually learned better father was mortified.
A polycule is an interconnected network of people in polyamorous relationships, forming a "relationship molecule" or web. It includes partners, their other partners (metamours), and extended connections, ranging from tight-knit, cohabitating groups to loose networks. Polycules often share emotional support and responsibilities, thriving on communication and intentional connection.
