↳ etymology [ thauma ] — miracle / magic (greek) [ rogue ] [ ic ] — of or pertaining to

requested by @teeth-collects-microlabels :D ( and i'm able to read this time )

flag meaning: red is a very roguish colour to me, and most rogues that I play with in my sessions use the disengage action a lot, so the circles being behind and in front of the main space kinda represent them darting in and out of the action.

IMAGE IDs: (both flags are the same)

the top and bottom quarters of the flag have a 3-row scallop pattern. from furthest out to innermost is a very dark red, dark red, and red. the background is a super dark red.

the middle has a stripe that takes up just under half of the flag. it is the same red. two very small stripes are just short of the edges of this middle stripe: they are the pinkish red.

there are eight pinkish-red circles at each the bottom and top of the middle stripe. every second circle is behind the middle stripes, and the others are in front of it.

the middle of the flag also has a medium stripe: it takes up the middle third of the large middle stripe. it is the dark red colour. there are 19 small diamond-stars in the middle of this.

the flag and its colours are symmetrical both horizontally and vertically.

if my IDs have an issue or you have recommendations on how to make better image IDs, please share :D

Hi, do you have any advice for someone who’s trying to make gender terms/other terms based on a story they’re making? Clarification: im wanting to make some in-world genders & identities for a world im making, said world has magic & the way magic is gonna work in this world- I believe would have some influence on how some of the people in that world view gender & such. Without spoiling anything, people can either be born with magical ability (tho they can choose not to use it) or they can use naturally occurring objects to do magic.

If this existed irl i think it would influence gender & identities & etc, in this world they would be real genders but in our IRL world then they could be used as- one of those fiction based xenogenders (of which I forget the name of). But i would just like some general advice as how to get started, please? Just- how to pick names for the identities, how to pick colors, things to think about when considering how the magic could affect gender & other identities.

You coin a lot of identities & make flags for them, and wanted to ask for help by someone who’s done this stuff before.

Please help me (if you have time 😅)

So you asked the right person but with just not quite enough details 😅 I'm currently working on making my own massive d&d based campaign where gender variance is very common not only in the pantheon of gods but also amoungst the many races that Inhabit the world.

Imma leave most of my rambling under a cut cause this is exciting me and I may type a shit ton. I'll go into much more detail there!

So the first thing to consider is the world itself. Is this a Renaissance/medieval setting? Is it a modern setting? Dose it take place in the far off future of the year 4098 or 1898? This will determine what all would be included in the gender variance and how the people would express it. If it's a medieval setting without the world being practically automated by magic, the colors for the flags would be more natural because they wouldnt nessearily have complex artificial dyes. Hell, would these people represent themselves by a flag or maybe an insignia? A tattoo? A language? A community? Just because your basing the idea of this gender variance on irl xenogenders doesn't mean you have to copy paste. /Not patronizing

Next, how common is intersexuality in this world? Are there multiple races that don't quite fit a human definition + magic? Is this gender variance considered uncommon or common? If uncommon, are they oppressed or is it generally accepted? What are, if there are any, the gender roles of this society? How would this society decide gender, birth sex? Interests? Physical attributes? Just because they are "human" doesn't nessesarily mean they are what we'd consider "cis male" or "cis female" or beyond. The words woman, man, male or female or other gendered language doesn't even have to exist within this fantasy world.

Do they speak English? Is it a made up language? It's quite a complex ask./nm. I think it's important to put as much culturally relevant context in your world before you travel into the heart of making innerworld xenogenders. Ik for my campaign, for example: gargoyles are victims of racist discrimination and those experiences are part of their culture which bleeds into their genders and cultural expectations of genders that wouldn't be considered in say.. centaur society where they aren't particularly victims of those forms of racism but arnt held as highly as certain other races and so on and so on. It sounds like you're similar to me and really want to get into the deep parts of your world so you have to figure out your base, then figure out the innerworld politics and common experiences and location and timeframe before you dive headfirst into specific xenogender experiences.

Overall, just have fun with it, avoid irl stereotypes and the wonderful thing about adding a "magic/fantasy" component is that it's the perfect way to cover up things that wouldn't make sense for the timeframe/situation/experiences. How did the air elves manage to automate cloud production with this machine? Magic! How did this automaton rise to live and speak and gain consciousness similar to 2020 ai? Magic! How did this tiny library in a tiny town have a book about some place you just dropped existing 30 hrs into the campaign?? Magic!!! It's the writers best out lol

It's all dependent on how close you wanna be to "this would actually function if this was used irl" and " idk man, magic shit". Would they make flags using natural dyes of mud/clay, berries and shells? Or would there be spells that could turn anything the specific color and shade that you need it? Are those born with magic treated better, the same or worse than those born without it? What's the social hierarchy? Would using say a wand for magic be considered a lesser item or better item than say a magic book? Are certain items socially considered more "feminine" than others? Is feminity treated as the ideal thing over masculinity, the same or lesser than? Most writers just use whatever "values" the current society they live in as a base just because it's easier.

All this to say is that it's important to, if your desire is to Garner an audience, make a world that you understand and makes you happy and a world that your audience understands and makes them happy. Be aware that, depending on your media of choice for publication (be it a ttrpg, a game, a book or even animation) if your audience needs a booklet to understand and gain definitions for the 50+ xenogenders present in your world that they will see on a daily basis, it might not jive. Ik I personally hate it when a series throws a ton of information at me the moment I open it. It's unrealistic to expect someone to read a giant book and devote hours of time before they ever even truly interact with the media. In their minds, why devote all that time and focus to learning something that may not be worth it? Have a good balance and pace, these can kill amazing games and make horrible games feel much better than they actually are. Perhaps introduce the in-world xenogenders slowly with clear definitions that they can flip back to, this not only helps people remember them but allows non-xenogendered people access to your series who want to understand but need baby steps. I only mention this because even though xenogenders are old asf, they are still relatively new in modern culture.

All these little cultural aspects, expectations, appearances, socio-political hierarchies, wealth, location, time frame, etc all determine someone's experiences within said society and therefore will influence how they fit themselves, if they choose to fit themselves, within that society. How they see those who fit within and out of that society. How they've made or haven't made community outside of it. How others treat them. Personal experiences. Gender is such a complex and personal beast and tackling it in a fantasy world where our reality is off the table is truly a feat, one many writers (often white pericishet male and white pericishet female) never bother to contend with. It's a balancing act of " do I want my fictional world to be a safe haven, accepting and example of how society should treat gender variance beyond the binary?" Or " do I want my fictional world to be closer to reality and give a voice to the real life and often painful experiences xenogender people must face in our transphobic and enbyphobic society?".

It's up to you wether you want to erase those demons or address them head on and no response is more brave than the other. There's nothing wrong with having your work represent an ideal world or harsh reality. Fiction doesn't mean it can't be truthful in its messaging.

I hope I helped you both by answering your questions and giving a little advice as someone who's been both in the depths of xenogenders and who's made a shit ton of original fantasy content and knows some of the best ways to present it. Feel free to send me some dms if you have any questions or would like some advice later down the road. Id love to assist in this project if you need me and trust my judgement.
