So some of y'all may have heard of the terms aubrian, lancian, and parkian. Y'all may have seen sophian and jamian and charlian too. We threw them into a blender.
How does all of this work, you may ask? It's all feelings and vibes. If you vibe with any of the terms here, feel free to use them (but we can't speak for averian, since that's not our term); there is no wrong way to be taylian and ainslian. We're assuming that extends to averian too.
All of the flags and terms presented here are based on haunted-thing's coinings.
Like the above-mentioned terms, all of ours are based on (semi-) random (gender-neutral) names.
If taylian and ainslian are recoins, we're sorry (and feel free to use them as alt names and flags!) We couldn't find words for those experiences.
Taylian
[alt text: a rectangular flag with 6 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, from top to bottom: medium-dark blue-magenta, cyan-blue, medium-light pink, medium-light yellow, desaturated blue, medium-dark blue-magenta end alt text]
Taylian: experiencing both gay/queer and hetero/straight attraction to men, women, and enben (non-binary people)
Taylian is a combo of sophian, jamian, and charlian.
Averian (coined by haunted-thing): experiencing neither queer nor straight attraction to men, women, and enben
Averian seems to be a combo of aubrian, lancian, and parkian.
[alt text: a rectangular flag with 6 equal horizontal stripes; the colors are, from top to bottom: medium-dark blue-magenta, cyan-blue, medium-light gray-orange, light yellow, pink, medium-dark blue-magenta end alt text]
Ainslian: experiencing gay/queer, hetero/straight, and neither queer nor hetero/straight attraction towards men, women, and enben
Ainslian is combo of aubrian, lancian, parkian, sophian, jamian, and charlian.
The ainslian flag is based on daybreakthing's jancian flag.
