01. fevirxin! (fee-vir-zin)

[pt: fevirxin, pronounced fee-vir-zin]

an umbrella centred around demons, cyberprep (link), neediness, daydreaming, and art. it is generally non-xenine but can be considered xenine, mixed with xenine terms, or presented in a generally xenic way. based loosely on one of my OCs. can be used for anything, not just genders!

other themes that might fall under fevirxin:

TV static

alternative (link) aesthetics 

cats

energy drinks, particularly monster but can be any

electric guitar

etc.

virtxe - a fevirxin person. (pronounced virtue) fevirxity - the equivalent of femininity/masculinity/etc. fevirxine - the equivalent of feminine/masculine/etc. FEXIN - fevirxin-in-nature. fevxirine - gender alignment. digixil - a fevirxin4fevirxin (virtxe4virtxe) term for fevirxin people attracted to other fevirxin people. transvirxine - transitioning into fevirxity.  fevxin - a general fevirxin gender. digiren - a fevirxine minor. digizem - a fevirxine adult.

symbol from here (link) coined by felix + help from virtue!

i use that/thats pronouns and i have for a while so it’s really really funny to me when someone messes up my pronouns enough times that they just say “that” or call me a “thing”. im completely fine with this and they never mean it as an insult but it’s lowkey affecting my gender i think

[toonedoutandin]

Well well well, would'ya look at that?

It's pride month once more! As you can see, I changed two characters; Julius, an' Bendy, for a couple of reasons. I'm sure y'all will have some fun with Julius's whole ordeal. Not to mention, I wanted more aroaces here!

I'll be honest, I ain't sure what to say. I mean, we made it to 2 pride months! This project ain't goin' how I wish it was, but what can ya' do?

Know it's okay to be different; it's okay to have contradictory labels, or not fit into molds. Some folks like having labels, others don't. Just be nice.

That's all, folks!

[felix-01000101]

Introduction post (DNI LIST AT VERY END)

Heya, you can call me Felix or Rye. I am a minor who reblogs stuff I think is neat, stands up for trans rights, and occasionally vents about my parents.

Pronouns page:

Feel free to send anything into my asks as long as it's not

Donations - they will be reblogged on @felix-donos

Hateful comments - your post will just be deleted and you will be blocked (unless I have a very juicy response to give)

Interests

Coding, AI (including ethics) and technology

Most fandoms (especially FNAF, The Wild Robot, BG3, Heartstopper, TSP and TCOAAL)

Music (anything really)

Identity

Here are some LGBallTs that represent the labels I most frequently use

Gender (+polyam):

Flags (left to right): abrogender, butch (badge), ambiamorous (symbol), nonbinary (hat), androgyne (bowtie), genderfloren, xenogender (badge), cat ears (I'm a cathoarder)

Sexuality (+ misc labels)

Flags left-to-right (excluding hat and cat ears because they mean the same as the previous one): gaybian, termcollector (badge), abrosexual, transmasc (bow), aroaceflux, bi vincian (badge)

Some other labels I use that aren't on here:

Quoiromantic

Queer

Lesboy

Transfem

Transneutral

Transxenine

Salmacian

Kingender

Views

As you can probably guess, I am pro-contradictory labels, pro-MOGAI, and what most people would consider a "radinclus", though I hate the word. I am also against terms such as "TMA/TME" and a hater of transmisandry

I am generally anti-discourse

As of recent, I am a (presumably endogenic) syslet. If you don't like that, then this is your warning.

I am neutral on most topics, unless they pertain to the human rights/lives of others. (I.e I am anti-genocide, anti-war and against antisemitism)

I do not believe zionism is inherently bad (judging from the words of Jews themselves). I no longer share this view. However, I still have many questions related to Israel that if you're willing to DM me about, I can ask. I'm still anti-genocide though.

I am a neushipper. Whilst I have nothing against proshippers, darkships make me uncomfortable. I believe in SALS, have complex views on whether fiction affects reality, and do not support drawing NSFW of minors (yes, even fictional ones. Do it in your own corner but PLEASE keep it away from me and other minors). Above all, I ask that people tag their stuff with relevant trigger warnings, respect DNIS, and don't post darkships onto shorts-style platforms (since it's wayyy too easy for minors to find them there)

I am supportive of those with paraphillias (including if you are one of the big 3, as long as you are anti-contact ofc)

I do not support radical feminism, and strongly believe in equality FOR EVERYONE

[saltedcavessys]

Some alters and why they’d get us fakeclaimed!

Adam - a fictive that happens to be our cohost!

Jack - first alter revealed to me during syscovery, a fictive and dating another fictive he’s popularly shipped with in source!

Coral - main gender is a xenogender, primary role is a therapist (no we don’t claim their opinions are on the level of medical professionals, I say this as in they talk other alters through issues), species is very unclear? And a fictive!

Cipher - bill cipher introject, weirdly violent? has very vivid source memories and does in fact get triggered by them!

Felix - also a fictive with very vivid source memories, feels extreme guilt due to them! :3

Champagne - it/its pronouns, and multisourced! Partially sourced from me (the host), hazbin hotel, and a song!

Jack^2 - different fictive, source attached to the maximum.

Ethereal - not an alter but a subsystem! we aren’t polyfrag (to our knowledge?) but we got a subsys in here! we have really bad communication with them too, so :)

Molly - a little, acts like a child

Valentine - a little, does not act like a child

And some general fakeclaim criteria ^^

We’re fictive heavy, autistic, a minor, not medically recognized (yet), and our headcount is over 60 (not the highest, I know, but still!) our trauma wasn’t familial, we love our parents! (despite their issues, we love em <3) in that vain, we don’t have “traditional” traumatic experiences (won’t go into detail obvs)

So yeah, FDC and Syscringe, come at us!!! xx
