    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.

      Yeah I hear at first grandpa had a bunch of “uncles” living with him then it was just a bunch of grandpas because I kept calling them all grandpa (I’m terrible with names). I didn’t even hear the term polycule until like a decade after the last of them had passed and thought “oh! That was them!”
