Painted Dog: someone who presents masculinely and femininely while subverting masculinity and femininity in a distinctly monachoric way.

Functionally a combination of hyena and jackal.

Flag design: Took resemblance from the painted dog, the animal, for the top part, dark colors on light colors. Dark brown was chosen for its usage in aesthetics of grunge, grime, and misfit-ness, which monachoric utilizes. The bottom three stripes are a combination of hyena and jackals, hyenas being darker, while jackals being lighter. Dark red was also for the monachoric tie-back.

Pancannicourtlyricen: experiencing cannicourtlyricen attraction without consideration to gender, and/or, experiencing cannicourtlyricen attraction to all genders.

Flag design: Brown is a color used in cannicourtlyricen, so the meaning stays the same. (Stable color both in theming and color palette.) Pink, yellow, and blue are the colors of the pansexual flag, which is directly translated over for this. However, yellow is repeated in the flag, partially for recognizability, but also for representation of it's double meaning. (Danger and self-confidence/dignity.)

Homocannicourtlyricen: experiencing cannicourtlyricen attraction to those with the same/similar gender to you.

Flag design: Brown is a color used in cannicourtlyricen, so the meaning remains the same. (Stable color both in theming and color palette.) Red is a color associated with passion, and also typically the start of a rainbow, which is associated with homoattraction. Orange is a color associated with energy, but also caution. Yellow is color associated with self-confidence and danger. Green is a color associated with health, as well as being the color of a praying mantis, which are directly mentioned in the song Cannibal Courtship.

Cannicourtlyricen: A term where the lyrics of the song Cannibal Courtship (Dengue Fever) best describe one's attraction.

Flag design: Brown is a neutral color that represents stability and simplicity, which allows it to play nice with color palettes often. Red is a color of passion as well as blood. (It is difficult to eat a person without getting a little bloody...) Yellow is a color that can be used to represent danger, self-confidence and dignity, as well as renewal. I believe all of these themes are relevant to the song. I also personally associate it with jazz, which is the genre of the song.

Mara: a multigender person who subverts masculinity and femininity in a distinctly multigender and queer way. Maras reject cisnormative ideas of what it means to be masculine and feminine while rejecting binary concepts of gender. Functionally a combination of vole/rat and hare.

Flag design: Cool purple chosen for being adjacent to blue, the color typically associated with masculinity, while still subverting that expectation via having other elements as well. In the case of purple, having red as well. Similarly with the warm purple, but for femininity instead. Yellow is a neutral color associated with self-confidence. If I may confess something, that is a guinea pig paw print. I couldn't find any pictures of mara prints, so I took one from their relative.

starting to realize my sanguinarian identity and cannibalistic identities, cannibalistic attraction especially, are far more intertwined than i thought they were. this sounds obvious in hindsight, flesh and blood are literally right next to eachother after all, but its news to me. and is probably something that most vamps would side-eye me for ;P

oh, totally, go for it!

My proposal for a revulamour flag.

The swoops are to represent embracement and repulsion respectively. It's intended to partially invoke a heart, the side representing adoration being upright while the revulsion is upside down, as the inverse of embracement, while still making up two parts of a whole. The ends are hidden to indicate this as deep-rooted and partially instinctual. It extends to the edges of the flag for replication sake as well as just looking better aesthetically, in my opinion. It also has quite a wormy shape. The inner green ring gives the illusion of being it embraced by the swoops. The yellow circle in addition to the inner green ring can give a silhouette adjacent to a black hole, albeit in light colors as opposed to dark ones. (The swoops clutter it a little.) I find that holds a very potent metaphor for ultimate transformation. An all-consuming density that overwhelms everything within and around it, produced by massive and incomprehensible titans upon death, that transform themselves into something of endless destruction that decays everything around it before eventually becoming apart of it. I digress. The outer green ring is to represent the physical symptoms of certain types of disease and its accompanying rot. Showing on the outside. It also wraps around the other elements, further indicating at a embracing feeling, of smothering, even. I feel that the smothering feeling could also be shown via 3/5 of the colors of being green. An excess of anything can feel smothering, and green makes up about 75% of the flag.

Green was chosen for its common meaning of disgust, rot, and illness, all of which are ideas that revulamour encapsulates. It is definitely one of the most commonly associated colors with these themes, which is why it makes up most of the flag. All three being different shades, a lighter green inside, a duller green outside, and dark green root, lends itself to each of the meanings respectively. Light green indicating disgust, dull green indicating illness, and dark green indicating rot. Yellow was chosen for association with swarms (via bees and wasps), a similar meaning of illness, and its association with energy. Energy specifically, due to how adoration can induce feelings of excitement and energization, as well as how decay often indicates a lack of energy. This can be further indicated through the softness of the yellow, with how its energy, or saturation, is mostly absent. It is also a complementary color to green. Brown is a color that often indicates warmth, which plays nicely to the embracement and comfort theming. It can also represent stability, which allows its role as a backdrop in the flag to work as well as it can. It is also a color that is a complementary to green and analogous to yellow. I do want my flags to look nice... The warm tint was honestly mostly an aesthetic choice. However, it does amplify some of the meanings; as feeling of disgust is typically more induced with warm greens as opposed to cooler or neutral greens, and warmth is typically well... associated with warm colors.

Kickstart vivid heart lyratric necrotic attraction/Kickstartlyrotic: when one's necrotic attraction is best described by the lyrics, "I'll sink my teeth into your vivid heart, if there's any chance it could kickstart mine." (Phantom Pain, Rave The Reqviem)

Flag design: Muted greens for necrotic attraction, as well as the implication of the user's heart (the one being kickstarted) being not vivid, or dulled. Light beige from the album cover. Bronze and muted gold to resemble rust, metaphorically pointing at the stopped heart. Red for the heart, sinking teeth (assumedly blood is involved), and also necrotic attraction.

Sanguinvamp: When being sanguinarian impacts one's gendervamp identity, and/or someone who is sanguinarian and gendervamp and has them both be interlinked or important to eachother.

Flag design: Warm grey plays nice with this color palette. Purple is a color often associated with vampirism, in no doubt due to most of the popular fictional ones being royalty of some kind. Red is for blood. I think it goes without saying why that is relevant here. White is for teeth, and vampire fangs specifically, since the gendervamp template has fangs on it.

Frayselfsaintlyricen: experiencing selfsaintlyricen attraction to those they are not close to, but the attraction fades and disappears as they get to know the person. This definition can also be reworded if the attraction is not towards a person, ie: objects, concepts, etc.

Flag design: Overarching circle is to represent the attraction existing when they are an outside perciever, but fading as they gain a connection or they get a look "inside" of a person's life. Blue is the colors utilized in fray-, representing strangers. (MOGAI Wiki) See selfsaintlyricen for the other color meanings. It is practically the same flag. I did, however, tint this flag in blue so it would play with the circles nicer. It could also represent the subdued nature of fray attraction, as selfsaintlyricen is a quite warm flag, so it being cool could be the lack of it?

Selfsaintlyricen: A term where the lyrics "I am saint, an icon made of plastic and self-contempt, tortured by the desperate need to be loved by you" (Ghost Royale, Rave The Reqviem) best describe one's attraction.

Flag design: Light yellows are referencing to yellowing of plastic. Reds were chosen to indicate a torturing feeling in a more literal sense (ie: blood), the darker red also incorporating feelings of self-contempt. Dark purple represents self-contempt, as well as incorporating the royalty theme of the song itself, and mauve for love.

pinned post. work in progress don't look at me >.< pronouns.cc | notion (wip) i do not care for queer infighting nor whatever discourse is circulating. we are all freaks in the eyes of the law and have more common than you think, i think we should be civil to eachother. miscellanous chatter – post: enraptured flags + coining – post: encaptured experiences – post: ensnared asks – post: encoded should probably get a graphics tag but i'll figure that out when we get there. :-)
