Sillyesque was requested by Anonymous in this ask! Alt IDs are by our usual buddy, @nerdiwolverine!

Sillyesque is a term and flag coined by @felonsgenders! It’s a gender system surrounding silliness and fooling around!

This Magical Boy has a Clown Theme! They use He/They Pronouns and Honk/Honks/Honkself, Silly/Sillys/Sillyself, Goof/Goofs/Goofself, Cir/Circus/Circusself, and Fun/Funs/Funself Neopronouns!

Goofs name is Astley, after the father of the modern circus (Phillip Astley)! Honk is supernaturally hilarious- no matter the person, goofs jokes and physical comedy will always make them laugh!

His Magical Boy Weapon is a goddamn car! Specifically, a clown car- it’s a sort of pocket dimension, and any living thing that enters will be able to fit. It’s pretty cramped though, but it never feels more cramped than when you first entered and the space within is seemingly endless… sure doesn’t feel like it, though.

A useless fact about honk is that honk got most of honks scars by getting a bit too drunk at a college bonfire. Astley thinks it’s fucking hilarious now, but it hurt like hell and they��re still in physical therapy. The only reason they’re alive is because Glass saved them.

The Magical Kid Project is a project wherein I steadily turn Pride Flags into Magical Kids! Requests are open through my inbox! Commission info is under the #commissions tag, I have a deal on Magical Kid Portraits!

My zine, 'Label Coining as an Artform', is finally done! Transcript/Image ID underneath (warning: it's long). Printed version in a reblog.

[Image ID: A series of pages in a zine. The text is handwritten, and all figures described are simplified stick figures.

Page 1: ‘LABEL COINING as an ARTFORM in large text. Below is the multicolored MOGAI wheel, with three figures taking pieces of the colors and using them for art: sculpting, cutting a piece of paper, and painting. Below is ‘a MOGAI (& LIOM!) zine by Elliot/Hesper aka @ crowdsourcedgender on tumblr. Under the text are five pride flags: aro-spec, veldian, alterhuman, xenoman, and schooldoodlic.

Page 2: ‘Label Coining’ in large pink text. ‘(in this context) is the act of creating a word (and usually flag) for a certain experience!’. Next to this text is a figure filled in with pink with a speech bubble full of pink shapes, talking to someone using a cane holding out a hand and expressing a question mark. Below reads ‘generally a queer experience, but does often include or incorporate disability, neurodivergence etc.’ A figure asks ‘Why?’ and the text reads ‘I would say these are the ‘core tenets’:’. In a cloud next to this text is a blue and purple pride flag with purple text reading: ‘like this cool prosopagnosia flag I made!’.

The bottom half of the page is split into two columns: ‘Understanding’ and ‘Community’. The first column has a purple arm amputee explaining a purple rectangle to another purple person who is thinking ‘that’s me!!’. Next to them another purple person is explaining the same rectangle to a blank person, who has a purple-filled thought bubble with a white exclamation mark. Underneath the drawing is text surrounded by question marks: ‘Labels help people understand what they are experiencing, and communicate this to others. It’s easier to explain something when it’s already been written down!” The second column has a purple person holding a purple umbrella. They are waving to a purple person in a wheelchair. A purple person is leading another one to the group. Underneath the drawing is text surrounded by connected dots: ‘People can unite under a shared label whether this group is big or small! Whether for practical purposes (like advice) or just for fun, having people like you is nice.

Page 3: ‘And these are just as important as ever! But I’ve noticed what I like to call COINING for the sake of CREATION’. This last phrase is in large, dark and light blue text. Two sun symbols are on either side. Below is the text: ‘Vexillology is very clearly an artform, but label coining has become something more (not to mention that not all new labels have flags!). It’s composed of multiple skills has become more than the sum of its parts. Any art captures an experience, but label coining is much more explicit about it. And not just people’s experience of their identity! Part of the art of label coining is incorporating other concepts too, e.g. Schooldoodlic A gender related to doodling on school work papers and/or your homework. By spirits-gender-coining on Tumblr.’ The text about Schooldoodlic is small and light teal. Next to the text is its flag.

Page 4: ‘Elements of Label Coining’. The text on this page is separated into four green boxes.

‘Naming: Coming up with the actual word can be tricky. Generally, labels with lots of elements get more leeway with length. It’s important to check that a label isn’t already a word as well.’ Next to this text is more rough, dark green text reading ‘Premade suffixes + prefixes help! And latin (for some languages) as it’s possible to intuit meaning!’ Around the text is a few examples: ‘-vesil’ ‘-musica’ ‘an-’ ‘quoi-’

‘Flag making: Also known as vexillology, this is a pretty big deal. It’s also the most fun for me! You develop a really good sense of color from spending so much recoloring the same three stripes.’ Next to the text is 6 versions of the same pride flag, each with slightly different colors, with a 7th final version with a symbol.

‘Symbol making: Most flags don’t have symbols, but they’re good for groups of labels under a certain umbrella, or just if you have a really good idea.’ Next to this is rough, dark green text reading: ‘I drew three semirealistic flowers for a flag and ended up only using one’ with sad face. Under it is a drawing of a daisy, a pink coneflower, and lavender, which is circled.

‘Descriptions/formatting: Explanations can be artistic in their own right, and formatting is fun to mess with: many people have their own style. Make sure it’s accessible: add image IDs and plain text where applicable. There are a lot of good resources online!’ In dark green text is the phrase ‘Accessibility over Aesthetics’ with an image of a key on top and sparkles below.

Underneath the boxes in light green text is ‘Note: in the right context, any of these can be optional!’

Page 5: ‘If it wasn’t clear, I think this is AWESOME’. Awesome is in large text with yellow radiating lines. Underneath is ‘I’m a MOGAI coiner myself (generally) with about 65 coins at time of drawing. Using something I made, I wanted to demonstrate what a label coining might look like!’ Underneath is four versions of the same pride flag as well as a description, with ‘flag!’ ‘stripe meanings (I don’t normally do these)’ ‘symbol’ ‘name’ ‘pre-existing format’ and ‘experience’ labelled. The description reads ‘[Image ID was here] Human non-conforming (HNC). Human non-conforming (HNC, similar to gender non-conforming) is an umbrella label encompassing all identities and subcultures that somehow incorporate nonhuman elements in any way.’

Page 6: ‘The thing I love most about the label coining community is just that- the community! The way coiners and users interact, as well as how coiners can work together, is wonderful. There are 5 large words each with an associated doodle.

‘Requesting’: A figure leaning on forearm crutches has a speech bubble with yellow shapes exploding out of it. Another figure is taking shapes down from the bubble and forming it into a ball.

‘Collecting’: A figure is pulling a yellow cart with a large cloth bag labelled ‘LABELS’. They have stars in their eyes, and are looking at another person who is gesturing to a yellow rectangle.

‘Collaborating’: Two figures, one with orange speech and one with yellow speech and an AAC tablet are discussing, with many shapes and lines intermingling to make a fragmented rectangle.

‘Combining’: A figure in a grey hijab pulls down a lever. They are standing next to a large blender mixing orange and yellow liquids. On either side is bright yellow lightning.

‘Redesiging’: A small star with four radial lines coming out of it becomes more and more complex, indicated by black arrows.

Under the words is the text: ‘I’ve never participated, but there’s this amazing event called: COINFIGHT. Hosted by @ kiruliom on Tumblr. It’s inspired by artfight, and it involves coining labels for other people- but competitive-ish!’ Coinfight is in large, text with a crescent moon with stars at the top right corner, and a star at the bottom left.

Page 7: ‘I don’t think there’s anything like finding a label that finally fits you, or hearing that something you made did that for someone else.’ Under is a figure looking at an orange flower with light lines, then forming elements of the flower into a bubble, then showing an orange rectangle to another figure, with orange tendrils reaching towards them, forming the shape of a heart. Below is the text ‘There are a lot of things like pouring out your heart- or just having fun- while making or collecting label. I coin in the same mind I sketch and color and shade.’ On each side is a pen drawing an orange figure with a red shirt, and a tablet with an orange and red flag. Under this is ‘Label coining is an artform both like and unlike any other, and I’m proud to participate in it. I hope that if you want to, you can join me. And if that’s not your thing- thanks for reading!’ There is a drawing of a figure with dark grey wings holding up two fingers. Next is a ‘<2’ heart and ‘elliot’ as a signature. In smaller text next to these is ‘Thank you to the creators whose work is featured in this zine! Credit on the next page. Remember to keep this wonderful community and artform accessible to all!’

Page 8: ‘Credit’: This section has a pride flag next to each label. ‘Aromantic-spectum, @ theflagarchive on Tumblr. Turian, @ kenochoric on Tumblr. Schooldoodlic, @ spirits-gender-coining on Tumblr. Xenoman, @ ryanyflags on Tumblr. MOGAI symbol, Pride-Flags on DeviantArt. Alterhuman, @ vaestra on Tumblr. (the flag on pg. 4 is Wildflowergender). ‘About making this zine’: ‘I really, really regret handwriting this. Drawing over Helvetica Neue for so long might change my actual handwriting, [more rough:] which looks like this! According to Artstudio Pro, I took 14 hours! I barely planned this before starting, the color wheel theme and the people doodles. /End ID]

i like the sunset lesbian flag, but i just i thought it'd be cool to mix some previous lesbian flag colors into a more inclusive one

i decided to mix aspects of the sunset flag with shades of purple/violet to represent sapphism

i think this would be a great flag for the general lesbian community. i always see the sunset lesbian one used as the default, but it's just offputting to see "relationships to womanhood" when it's supposed to be nonbinary inclusive. even as a bigender lesbian, i can acknowledge this treats womanhood like the default and makes other nonbinary lesbians feel left out and ignored within their own community. i also thought it was important to represent transgender lesbians as a total, as well as studs and stems, because i feel they aren't included enough and dont get nearly as much representation either.

ID: a 5 striped flag: orange, yellow, white, peach, soft red. a red collar is in the center. end ID DOMESTIC - a term for therians/nonhumans/kinners/otherhearted/people who otherwise connect to animals. when you are or feel like a domestic animal

ID: a 5 striped flag. dark brown, brown, beige, rusty red, red. sharp teeth open over the flag. end ID WILD - a term for therians/nonhumans/kinners/otherhearted/people who otherwise connect to animals. when you are or feel like a wild animal

ID: a 5 striped flag. dark brown, brown, white, yellow, red. a red collar is in the center, with sharp teeth opening over it. end ID DOMESTIWILD - a term for therians/nonhumans/kinners/otherhearted/people who otherwise connect to animals. when you fluctuate between being/feeling domestic or wild, or are both simultaneously for the domestic flag i tried to choose bright feeling colors, like the sun inside a room youre lazing in... i chose more natural earth tones for wild since, you know, wild. i put red in both--for wild it symbolizes blood, for domestic it symbolizes the common color collars are, and in domestiwild its both coined for a friend! similar terms @radiomogai

𐬹 ۫ ۪ ᩍ bi-lesboy

a bisexual lesbian boy; someone who identifies as both a bi-lesbian and a lesboy.

my coined term + flag redesign,, symbol belongs to @/bi-lesbian here on tumblr !

color meanings:

pink: lesbian love, femininity, transfemininity

peach: fiaspec genders, femmes

orange: gender-nonconformity

yellow: lesbian joy, intersex and nonbinary lesbians

purple: androgyny, futches

indigo: miaspec genders, butches

blue: boyhood, masculinity, transmasculinity

symbol meaning: the violet represents lesbian love, while the double crescent moon represents bisexuality

example of how this works just in case people get confused and wonder:

i am a transmasc lesbian who considers hirself to be a nonbinary man. because i'm a nonbinary man with a queer attraction to women, i consider myself a lesboy.

i am also not monosexual. even if i am dating a binary woman, i have experienced attraction to other nonbinary genders. because of this attraction to multiple genders, i consider myself a bi-lesbian. when you put these together, the result is a bi-lesboy. there's many other ways this can work, but i hope this helps anyone struggling to understand my identity :3

Pride month is almost over and I forgot to draw anything oopsie. Here’s a very, VERY late doodle of an earwig with some flags and wisdom.

(This post is talking about good faith queer identities, NOT harmful paraphilia, trans-id, consang, or anything else that condones or attempts to normalize dangerous behavior. I do not want people who fall under any of those categories to be on my blog. My account has been and always will be safe for queer people with complex/‘contradictory’ identities.)
