※ Etymology: lt. tinea (moth) + lt. lumine (light) + affectis

※ Notes: Can refer to any sort of light. Tentatively tagging @alteraffectis if that's fine?

Shameless Survey plug

So almost two years ago we made a survey on Blending. It got a few responses from a server we're in, but I lowkey want *more*. Sooo... here I go:

[Disclaimer: I seriously do not care about your syscourse stances when you're filling this, but if you insert hateful rhetoric into your submission, it will be deleted entirely and I will sleep soundly.]

If you wanna reblog and make it spread a bit further that'd be so cool!! :3c

Axsymgender

/ækssɪm/gender

※ A multigender that is symmetrical across two or more gender spectra. These spectra do not need to be opposites. Examples (dashes are optional):

Axsym-minfin (alternatively Minfin-axsym or Min-axsym-fin): A gender that is symmetrical across masc-in-nature and fem-in-nature genders, it may be simultaneously binary man and woman, demiboy and demigirl, xenoboy and xenogirl, multiple of these pairs, or fluid between these pairs.

Axsym-luxinkein (alternatively Luxinkein-axsym or Luxin-axsym-kein): A gender that is symmetrical across luxine-in-nature and kenochoric-in-nature genders.

Axsym-ninlin (alternatively Ninlin-axsym or Nin-axsym-lin): A gender that is symmetrical across neutral-in-nature and androgynous-in-nature genders, i.e. ninfluid and linfluid.

Axsym-catdog (alternatively Catdog-axsym or Cat-axsym-dog): A gender that is symmetrical across cat-related and dog-related genders, i.e. dogboy and catboy. This is not limited to gender-in-nature spectra either, for example:

Axsym-cistrans (alternatively Cistrans-axsym or Cis-axsym-trans): A gender that is symmetrical across cis and trans gender modalities, i.e. trans man and cis man.

※ Etymology: Axis + symmetry

Daydreamer's Flag and Rose

This flag and symbol are meant to represent Daydreamers. They are also open to those with similar experiences that use different labels (including neuronarrators, for example) and are inclusive of both psychological and spiritual daydreaming; Those with MaDD are also welcome to use them, though the flag was made with daydreaming as a positive thing in mind.

Notes: I've been part of the Immersive Daydreaming community for a few years now and I quite enjoy having flags for my experiences, especially since my daydreaming ties into our system architecture and my alterhuman identity. For this reason I've always felt a little sad that there doesn't seem to be any sort of flag or symbol around to represent daydreaming. So about a year ago, I made the first draft for this flag, but I felt nervous about posting it since I didn't know whether it would be well received. Now I've decided to post it anyway, maybe someone else out there enjoys it!

Flag:

[Image ID:] A Flag with eight vertical stripes; from left to right: Dark purple, purple, light purple, golden-yellow, pink, light blue, blue, evening blue; The two outer stripes as well as the fourth and fifth stripe are half the width of the other ones. Overlaid on the flag is the Daydreamer's Rose (ID below). [/ID over]

Meaning: The two gradients on the sides of this flag are meant to represent skies, itself representing the seemingly endless width of daydreaming possibilities. The blue gradient is in reference to the sky of this world, the purple is that of other worlds, to show the different types of settings used by daydreamers. The sky colors were also chosen since skies and clouds are the most common symbolism in daydreaming communities I've seen. The pink stripe is for both innocence and childlike playfulness as well as passion. The gold represents hope and joy that may be found through daydreaming.

Rose:

[Image ID:] A symbol consisting of two roughly half-circles, a smaller one within a bigger one; with five arrows pointing from the inside of the inner circle all the way past the outer circle. Somewhat resembling half a compass rose. [/ID over]

Meaning: The Daydreamer's Rose is inspired by a compass rose as it symbolises the escapism and freedom achieved through daydreaming. The inner circle is supposed to represent the self, the outer circle represents the bounds of this world; with the arrows coming from within the self reaching past the outer circle and into new territory.

Paravariable

[pa-ruh-veuh·ree·uh·bl]

※ An aspect of a member, parative, otherwise paragenic member, or intropara, that can not be narrowed down due to the member existing in multiple forms (i.e. timelines or storylines) within the paracosms they originated from. The term may be applied to any aspect, such as "paravariable age", "paravariable gender" etc.

※ Etymology: para- from para + variable

※ Notes: If desired, -variable can also be used as a suffix to other terms, i.e. fictivariable could describe a fictive with variable aspects due to having multiple versions of their source.

Ageling

[ayj-luhng]

※ An identity facet in a median system, who has experiences and feelings in common with both snapshots or age-related versiomates **and** age regression in a way that makes them feel positioned somewhere between or adjacent to the two.

※ Etymology: age + ling

※ Notes: This term is an age-related version of fableing and factling and based on the definitions of those terms.

Intropara

[in-truh-pa-ruh]

※ A members who is a sentient para in a system, or has aspects of paras and introjects/paratives, yet don't fully fit or identify as either. This may be due to being a Walk-In and/or coming through a Dreamway.

※ This term is over a year old and I figured I should post it.

※ Etymology: intro - as in introject + para

hi! i really like neuboyfluid, would it be ok for me to make a flag for a girl alternative?

Sure! That's something I've thought about doing before but I just never got to it. Feel free to mention me if you post it, I'd love to see it! Eventually I will figure out how mentioning users works on tumblr...

Pareil

※ Pareil is when you look at a person, wonder "Do I want to date them or be them?" And the answer is "Both."

On a more serious note, this term aims for the blurry distinction between gender envy and attraction (of any type). For those who can't, or don't want to, distinguish between the two. Their ideal gender (presentation) is their orientation, or vice versa.

Can be used as pareiloriented, pareilsexual, pareilaesthetic, pareilgender, etc. Pareilgender may be considered an orientationgender.

Example: a feminine boy who is aesthetically attracted to feminine boys and feels like their attraction is influenced by what they get gender envy from / what their ideal presentation is could call themselves an pareilaesthetic Rosboy.

※ Etymology: From the French pareil meaning "(the) same, alike, like"

※ Note: This term was originally conceptualized using the french word for mirror, miroir, instead. I dropped this because I know there are a few terms using mirror- already and I was worried it'd be too similar to those, I still encourage the use of miroir as a synonym to pareil tho, it sounds very neat

※ This term is purposefully a little vague because putting concrete rules on a term like this only unnecessarily makes people feel alienated in my experience, if you related to the introductory first line you're more than likely the demographic the term aims for and free to use it!

※ Fun fact: This term started out a little light-hearted but I did also seriously vibe with it once I had written down the concept

⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃

Image ID: A flag with eleven stripes, the outer two and the central one are twice as wide as the two sets of three between them. From top to bottom, the colors are: Pale blue, pale green, white, light gray, mid gray, dark gray (central), mid gray, light gray, white, pale purple, pale yellow.

Tamenity

[taa-men-uh-tee]

※ Tamenity is an identity umbrella that encompasses several labels and areas of identity.

Tamenibeing as a term under the alterhuman umbrella describes an individual who feels that something has interacted with and/or affected their current (alter)human identity. Said identity did not fundamentally change as a result of it, but it is undeniably affected to a relevant extent.

It may, for example, feel like one's identity was stained, dyed, or decorated by the interaction.

Tamenous experiences can occur in this world as well as exomemories etc., and can be annotated positively or negatively.

This encompasses experiences such as (a non-exhaustive list):

- A human that makes contact with a supernatural being and feels it influenced their human-ness, but did not make them non-human.

- A human daydreamer who, because of their daydreaming, feels they have had experiences beyond the typical human scope, but are still human.

- An introject who was a cat in their exomemories, and when they became part of a plural collective, their cat-ness was affected but they are still a cat.

- A dogkin individual who has spent a lot of time with cats and has taken on cat habits, but isn't a cat in any way.

Terms to describe one's Tamenity may be constructed as Tamen[species] such as Tamenhuman, Tamenwolf, or even as Tamen[specific ID] i.e. Tamencatkin.

It may also extend to more broad categories such as Tamenfictive and Tamenotherkin. If preferred, **Tameni-** can be used as the root instead. 2. Additionally, Tamenigender as a neogender identity describes the same experience as outlined above applied to gender, where something has interacted with and/or affected one's current gender identity without causing it to fundamentally change.

This may be applied to specific identity, for example Tamenigirl or Tamenxenic. 3. The concept of Tamenity may further be applied to other areas of identity like orientation.

※ Etymology: From the latin tamen meaning "despite" or "still", referring to the persistence of a previous identity.

※ Notes: Posts with alt flags, a detail of the symbol and possible subterms will probably follow - I was a little too excited to get this out there.

※ The flag is supposed to be the blue sky that reimerges from the night sky. The star is the Tamenity symbol.

※ If anyone wants to make specific Tamenous subterms and/or flags, they are super welcome to do it (please tag me!!). Rules from my intro post apply

⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃

Image ID: A flag with two chevron-shaped gradients on the top and bottom. These gradients, from the edge going inwards, have a black stripe, followed by a dark blue stripe, then a mid-blue stripe. At the center, the flag has a sky-blue color. In the center is the Tamenity symbol, a large eight-pointed star with four long and four short spikes, also in a sky blue color, with black stains on its tips that seem to be dripping down. at the center of the star is a smaller star in a very pale blue.

Nexical Attraction

Synonyms: Nexus Attraction, Nexic Attraction

[neks-i-kl]

※ A type of attraction that can only be explained in the context of existing in the same system as one another. It may feel akin to any other sort of attraction but is unique to members in plural collectives and rooted in their plurality. This is as a result of their shared experiences that can not be experienced by individuals outside the shared body.

It may be used as a modifier with other attraction terms, for example "nexus-platonic attraction / nexical-platonic attraction", or be used on its own.

※ Etymology: Nexical is derived from the latin nexus which means "connection."

※ Notes: A individual one's Nexical Attraction is directed at may be referred to as one's "Nexus."

This post uses "plural" and "system" language, but any individuals with applicable experiences can use the term regardless of whether they use these labels or not.

Lesbianpunk / Lesbipunk

[les-be(-an-)puhn-k]

※ An identity open for anyone who identifies as lesbian in some capacity but doesn't fit into normative ideas of lesbians, or feels their lesbian identity is not accepted by society. For example, this includes all m-spec lesbians, lesbians who aren't (always and only) a binary woman (including lesboys and genderfluid lesbians), lesbians who are a-spec in one or more attractions, etc.

※ Etymology: lesbian + punk, or lesbi + punk for short

※ Notes: Lescourse bad, *hiss* Lesbians unite!

⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃ Image ID: A flag with a similar layout to the common lesbian one, but the order of the colors is reversed and they are slightly shifted in hue.

Aspectral

Synonyms: Peritien (adj.), Peristructured (adj.), Perisystem (n.), Perispectral (n./adj.)

[a-spec-tral] [peh-ri-]

※ A system or other plural grouping who considers themselves outside of the singlet-median-partitionary spectrum. This term is purposefully vague and intended to be usable as an umbrella for already existing terms, as well as stand on its own.

Groupings with this structure may have experiences similar to mediple, but feel like a mix of median and multiple(/partitionary) doesn't describe them properly.

This term may also be used to indicate a complete rejection of the concept of the median/partitionary distinction.

※ Etymology: a-spectral comes from "outside" the spectrum, peri means around

※ Notes: Aspectral may be used as a noun or adjective

⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃ Image ID: A flag with a background that is violet in the center and dark green in the corners, with two large arrow-heads pointing outwards inbetween, the left one mint colored, the right one dark blue.

[coins-for-the-moth]

Diviplex

[dee-vee-plex]

※ A type of polyplex/magistien where some or all groupings differ majorly in structure and/or function.

This can manifest, for example, in one grouping being median while another isn't, one grouping being polyfragmented while another isn't, also may relate to having vastly different -tien and -based experiences. Can go along with bad communication, but doesn't have to.

※ Etymology: divi from divided/division + plex for a grouping of multiple systems

※ Notes: This term is meant to give polyplexes the option to easily indicate their differing functions/etc., not to replace "polyplex" as a term.

-partnering terms system

※ An orientation system describing the genders and one is willing to partner with. This is not a form of attraction nor gamy/amory.

For example, a man who is attracted to men and women but only wants to partner with men may call themselves homo-partnering, or an exclusively wlw person who is willing to partner with any gender, even if there isn't any attraction, may call themselves pan-partnering.

Divi-partnering can be used to state that your partnering orientation doesn't match your attractions (sexuality, romanticism, etc.) without stating your specific orientation. (Flag in header)

"Partnering" here refers to any kind of relationship, be it sexual, romantic, etc.

※ Notes: All partnering flags use the colors of existing flags, more flags can be made with the template. Non-partnering is only a new flag for this term. Some examples are attached.

⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\⊂⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⊃ Image ID: A flag with a diagonal red cross-shape and a gradient in the colors black, dark blue, and mid blue
