some are sad, but i am rad

Night:

Radiant Selene, who glows in the sky

It's time for sleep, for the world and I

Please bless my life, my dreams, and me,

I thank You for Your power, might, and glory

Day:

Oh Dear Selene,

All-shining and glorious as can be,

I hope my days are full of health and prosperity,

Guide me with Your light and care,

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

So I finally got around to making my own pride flag based around my unique gender expression that is interwoven with my status as a nonhuman (corpse) and my rejection of humanity and civilization. The Halloween color palette is because that aesthetic also very strongly ties back into my identity and makes me feel extremely gender euphoric, which also ties back into my autism because it means I experience euphoria through sound, visuals, etc that neurotypical people do not. I used the default trans flag because I do identify as a regular binary male, it’s just that the way in which I experience and feel my gender isn’t something that can be comprehended by humans. I made a couple different versions if anybody wants to use them, however I strongly advise against it and encourage you to make your own unique flag based on your identity if you don’t already have one because we are all individuals and the ways in which we experience our identity ties back in each of our unique experiences and emotions.

The music that makes me feel gender euphoria consists of Radio Werewolf, Alien Sex Fiend, The Phantom Limbs, Skinny Puppy, Nightmare of the Elf, Specimen, 45 Grave and deathrock in general with Ministry’s “Everyday is Halloween” as the main “anthem”. I used the general trans flag as a base with two black stripes (black cats/ death), one bright purple stripe (witches/ bats), one orange stripe (pumpkins/ halloween), and one lime green (monsters / zombies) and created a few versions with different motifs in the upper right corner.

This concept is not its own gender by itself, rather it is a description of the unique way in which I experience mine- it is also a political and philosophical thought rather than just an expression. I downloaded the Halloween themed clip art/motifs and am unsure of who originally designed them, it anybody knows who did I would be happy to credit them.

a gender relating to the aesthetic and/or excitement surrounding Halloween! ik theres already a buncha flags for this but none of em really screamed "Halloween" to me so here's mine! black is for spiders n spookiness, purple is for magic, orange is for fall n pumpkins, green is for candy n slime, white is for ghosts n bones!!

feel free to use unless ur in my DNI (check about but its the basics, no racists ableists queerphobes antisemites proship map trumpies etc)
