⟡ Black Coiner Shoutout! ⟡

[PT :: Black MOGAI Shoutout!]

Hello hello and welcome back to another yearly post for the black creators in our community! I greatly thank you for your patience, I appreciate it and apologize it took so long for me to get this out. Firstly let it be known, this is the first post of two. This one being specifically for coiners while the second part of this post will be for archives run by black folks! The second part can be found here [link] Black queers have been a backbone of our history and fight for freedom since well before the days of stonewall. Prominent activists like The Queen William Swann who was born into slavery only to rise to becoming one of if not the very first drag queen, creating a queer resistance group all the way in the 1880s or Frances Thompson, a black disabled trans woman who testified in congressional court after the civil war and was a prominent anti-rape activist were critical parts of our history and creating a space for ALL queer people. Black queers have been fighting for queer rights for hundreds of years with little to no recognition so today I'd like to shout out the ones still fighting with us in celebration of BHM! Please give all of these lovely people a follow and send them some extra love (or cash if you're able) this month! Now without further adieu, lets show off the amazing black coiners in our community!

✦ @vampitsm - A coiner active in our community for years at this point, making amazing black-centric flags such as vamps Qiroi flag remake, a black // african american third gender, and amazing terms such as Soulman and Soulwoman and their black centered gender system Genderater. Vamp also makes amazing non-black centered terms such as vamps Fang and Coffin presentations! Along with this, they co-own a black centered archive which you will find in the following Black Archivist post :D

------------

✦ @angelomour - A blog co-owned by the Vampire Knight, Jace! Who's been making some amazing flagless black presentation terms over on @destoral and has made some lovely terms like Black Shapeshifter for nonhuman black people and Blackcora! While Jace can be somewhat inactive due to having quite the busy life as the communities favorite caregiver, the terms he makes are always a treat to see <3

------------

✦ @permaonline - The new coining blog of our friend Eden // Chat who also runs @occuden! Star has so far made amazing black terms such as Soulfood Chef, Earth Nurturer, and Lyrical Storyteller! Star's also recently made many fun anime based and SMP based Natidens that I implore anyone to check out if they have an interest in such things! And of course Eden runs many, many, many archive blogs that will be linked in the following Black Archivist post :D

------------

✦ @orbistro - A newer blog on the scene only starting up in June of last year, The Must has already made some lovely terms! We of course have some Genderater terms such as Atermoon and Atersun, but along with that we have a lovely series of Emanator Flags for the game Honkai: Star Rail as well as my personal favorite with no bias at all, Haestic based around the game Hollow Knight (which some may know as being my second favorite game of all time, the first being Hollow Knight Silksong). All around a lovely coiner with amazing taste in games <3

------------

✦ @gender-goth - Another coiner who's been around for years in this community! A bodily black system, this blog is ran by four headmates. Mod C, Mod Amanda, Mod Malice, and Mod Haven! Along with creating black terms like Blood Moon Belle and Blood Moon Fish based on Nex's original term Blood Moon Femme, true to Nex's username, Nex has made some wonderful Goth based terms such as Nex's Gendergothian system, Gothbodiment, and Princessgothia which has one of the prettiest flags ever imo! As a punk myself I just love seeing alt culture terms. Along with this, Nex also co-runs the black centered archive blog I mentioned before which you'll see in the second post for black archivists!

------------

✦ @friend-device - The mogai communities very own Friend, an up and coming blog I think everyone with a love for deltarune and indie animation should check out! Along with having the wonderful term Obsessenoir4Obsessenoir for black folks with obsessive tendencies, thing has also made some amazing Egocieve terms, some very fun Dandy's World NPD terms (a game I've had a particular hyperfixation in recently), and some cool X instead of X terms including a Sonic.exe one that many will know is a media that makes me very autistic very fast. All in all please check out this up and coming blog for all your niche and indie media needs <3

------------

✦ @militantcoining - Leon has not been in this community long but boy has were made a huge impact! With Leons wave of military based terms both on Leons main coining blog and weres flagless blog, @residentcoining. While not the only blog to do it, Leon was a large part in the shift in terms surrounding military based terms becoming more common place and made people once hesitant on sharing such terms feel much more comfortable and seen. Watching the shift in real time was wild and so cool to see and I'm so glad and proud to have watched it happen. As for black centered terms, I want to give a shoutout specifically to Leons terms Satinoirina and Satinoirino which are meant for people who are beautiful black women and men. Amazing flags by an amazing creator <3

------------

✦ @sugaryvexillogy - Another new creator in the community popping up in December, I admit looking through his coins it's hard to decide which terms to shout out. From wonderful black centered terms such as Pink Cloud, Blackbuck Pride, and his lovely Black History Special interest flag (the colors are so nice to me idk) to non-black centered posts like his Lexiphoria system, Egocieve terms, and my personal favorite underrated term from him Larvislover, Sugar seems to post banger after banger in regards to coining. Along with constantly making said bangers, he also runs a couple archive blogs you'll see listed in our second part shouting out black archivists!

------------

✦ @elibanerosian - Creator of the term Eliban, a sister term to the term Erosian, while Ari doesn't post many terms they're incredibly active in the MOGAI community and is outspoken for black queer rights and is constantly posting educational resources and some amazing talking points to think on in regards to how queerness, blackness, and transness coincide in ones life. Very worth perusing and generally a lovely individual all around <3

------------

✦ @dykepiric - Warning :: This blog is inaccessible to those who may have visual impairments. Please be kind to this coiner but be careful if you have problems with things like eyestrain. Thank you! Another new coiner to the scene, Seraph is a black yumedanshi who created the awesome flag for Black Yumeshippers as well as making some great flags for Omnixic, a flag for those who are both Trixic and Omni, as well as the term Semiromantic which is one I personally identify with! Lovely choices of colors, wonderful concepts all around, give this new coiner some love <3

------------

✦ @mogayis-socool - We love Azurine in this house. pohe makes a variety of wonderful delicious flags, making terms for identity systems like Laloro, Colosec, or Genderpathetic while also making some amazing original terms such as sums Gendercritter system, sums fem, masc, and neutral flags, and my favorite of sneyä Boyn't and Girln't! Pohe is a wonderfully creative coiner and flag maker so I highly recommend going and giving oheyä some love <3

------------

✦ @wequot - WE! LOVE! NEW! COINERS!!!!!* [PT :: We Love New Coiners!!!!!] Devi has already made some amazing flags such as xyr Soulful and Ranch Hand flags, xyr neoumbrella Sorrielle, xyr gender system Gamehostic, and so many Dandy's World flags. As stated, I am massively hyperfixated on Dandy's World lately, so I am staring at those with large autistic eyes. Give Devi some love and definitely check them out if you're also a DsW fan :D

------------

✦ @queertine - A mixed black and latine coiner who makes absolutely gorgeous cultural flags. A blog I would heavily consider underrated personally, elle's made some amazing flags for Black Intergenders, Qirlfag and Boidyke flags (which if you know me I love reclaiming those terms so much it's my favorite thing to do), a wonderful Black Regressor flag for any black folks who regress, and a personal favorite flag for Black and Fat. Queertine makes tons of amazing flags with elles own culture and elle really is a hidden gem in this community. Please please PLEASE give elle some love, elle deserves it <3

------------

✦ @pawbeans-flags - Another heavily underrated coiner imo, Paw makes amazing blasian flags such as Blasian Insect, Blasian Transfluidine, one of my personal favorite genders Blasian Bungender, and so many more! One non-blasian but still black centered flag I want to show out is the Stemme Dyke flag it made last month! As previously said, I love reclaiming terms like dyke and fag so I always love promoting terms with those things in mind! Another insanely underrated coiner, give it some love!!!!

------------

✦ @madgender - We love a coiner who centers around MAD and neurodivergence, what can I say. Starting off with its Black Autistic flag with some very lovely and soft colors that I adore, it has also made some wonderful flags for things such as PPD Asexual, a very lovely Eating Disorder flag that I'm quite partial to, as well as some great pathetic themed NPD and ASPD flags! I know it's probably getting old to keep saying it, but it really is another underrated as hell coiner, give it some love!

------------

✦ @mogai-qirl - (I do not yet know this coiners pronouns, I will be using [prn] in place until I am given an answer. Thank you!) While not having posted too many coins yet, what [prn] has made so far is absolutely phenomenal. [prns] Afro Sapphic flag is gorgeous, [prns] term June Bug, a term under the genderater system, is beyond gorgeous, and I'm a massive fan of [prns] Whimsical Stud flag as a whimsical masc myself. Some may know [prn] from [prns] GalaxyWolf Gender flag, which is of course gorgeous as well, I am highly recommending everyone check out [prns] blog for the many other amazing coins [prn] has created <3

------------

✦ @lairofsirenium - Another insanely underrated coiner and I truly do mean underrated. Mephiles has been in the community for literal actual years but I didn't learn about haunt until I started putting together all the users from this post which is a massive shame. From its awesome inclusive black lesbian and gay flags as well as black gender diverse flags which are both so gorgeous and are inclusive of the wide range of skin tones amongst black people to its less black centric flags like its genuinely gorgeous canadian lynx kin flag and my personal favorite as the ultimate Shadow The Hedgehog apologist Shadowcharic and Soniccharic, Mephiles makes genuinely amazing flags and has a clear sense of color theory that makes everything work so insanely well together, PLEASE check it out if you get the chance and send haunt some love!

------------

✦ @bunshellbounty - Say it with me folks, UNDERRATED!!!! A fairly newer blog from July of last year, the things Kitty has created have been iconic. It's coined amazing black presentation terms like Cowristud, Cowristemme, and Cowribelle as well as our personal favorite, which fits with this archive in particular for all my black horror fans, Bloodelle for Belles who present themselves through horror! Along with these amazing black centered terms they've created this awesome Lockship system and the really great neoumbrella Litensilic which I love as a writer myself. I want to add more but I feel as though I'd be going on for days at this point. Give Kitty some love, look at its genuinely amazing terms that I've personally added to our own hoard as well. I promise if you love spooky things, black centered terms, and especially creepycute aesthetics you will not be disappointed!

------------

✦ @gendermarmalade - An infrequent poster but one who consistently posts banners regardless. With a very pretty Boiqirl flag as well as other beautiful flags such as shir Sun Girlboy flag and the incredibly cool term Plushaunette which is another term that will fit quite nicely with this archive, if you're looking for terms for your own personal hoards I highly recommend checking shir out and giving shy some love!

------------

✦ @silencedcrown - WARNING :: Blog may be inaccessible to those with vision difficulties, the coiner has stated fae are unable to do IDs or PTs. Please be kind to the coiner but keep this in mind! Previously known as @/dollpvincely for those who don't recognize this name, this rather new blog has already posted some bangers such as Pianorprince and the adorable gender ChocoOtterMilk that I'm just in love with the icon for, I'm positive fae'll continue to post amazing terms and flags! Also with a personal bias, faes silent salt theme is gorgeous I love it sososo much

------------

✦ @instantidol - A flagless coining blog that's created some absolute banger terms such as Vampqirl, Black Opal, and Doll of Color this coiners absolutely knocked it out of the park with some amazing coins already despite only creating this blog in January! If you ever want to make flags for flagless terms or just add something to your hoard, show hymn some love! We even have matching hy/hym pronouns, yay <3

And that's that for this years black coiner shoutout post! Please give every single one of these blogs a look if you can and remember to also look through our post for black ran archives coming up just a bit after this post!! Drink water, take your meds, donate to black queers, and stay spooky!

Mfw I've lowkey been struggling with other terms/flags to create, but a lightbulb recently flipped on in my brain... I can just make ones that are:

eliban X a gender identity

eliban X a gender quality (ex: fem-eliban for an eliban person who identifies as feminine)

eliban X aro/acespec (i could milk these lolololol)

bambi eliban (or maybe I'll call it gazelle eliban GAZELIBAN OMG HAHAHA ok wait gazelles are so nervous looking so this fits methinks)

eliban but exclusive attraction to men (lowkey if u are this lmk bc idk, like you haven't in any capacity been attracted (physically, emotionally, whatever) to someone who wasn't a man ever in ur whole life?, or is it that you were but things changed or smth, or that it's so rare that it's not worth counting bc I was def the most latter option for a bit considering I'm both ace and tend to by physically attracted primarily to men when that kicks in every blue moon, which is why I established eliban to be m-spec inclusive bc gender literally isn't real idc (ok it is but i tend to hate that fact sometimes) and AMAB/AFAB people aren't very different like the gap some intersex ppl land on is a finite and measurable distance that is like a hop skip and jump)

eliban but exclusive attraction to masculine / feminine / neutrois / andrygynous / agenrine / {insert gender quality here} people

id as eliban+oshian/mwarian/any other geoay+ terms (just need to figure out if I'm comfortable making oshian-related flags since idk I'm only recently learning how to decenter men and I feel like I don't tend to be attracted to women enough (though religion as a kid kinda repulsed me from being into women, weird how I was purity-cultured despite being AMAB), and I only fully came out to myself as not a man like a year ago (though I was anonymous posting 2 years before that), and idk I feel like I'm psyoping/doing a stolen valor if i associate myself with sapphic identity at all ughhhh (I might need to unpack all this ;-; omg bro/sis/sib/thing this is why I've wanted a sexuality therapist for the longest)

lovely- what’s the adjective you use when people ask “how are you”“alive” and “Black”.

blush- are you easily embarrassed yes, but no. i ascribe to the richard pryor school of self-deprecating comedy but also i have said some embarrassing things that still haunt me.

Your writing is so fluid and easy to read

The Missing Love Scene from the 2016 Masterpiece Film, Moonlight.

Let me preface this by saying that I have had plenty conversations and, in many cases, debates about this scene that never was. My stance has always been that I have scene men fuck before and what I was happy to see was a level of intimacy sometimes missed in love/sex scenes. I didn't miss it "need" to see such a display of sexuality in order to affirm I life I live regardless if I ever see another movie or not. What I have always appreciated about this film was it beauty. The way in which this life was painted with film was spellbinding FOR ME!!! So to come across this part of the screenplay that was omitted and I more affirmed in my choice to always love the beauty and magic of this film. Had this scene been included I would still be happy and the art this film was and the story it told. I am not backing down from my original stance. I could only deal with what was in front of me. But this right here?!! This level of care and rawness into the ways in which a number of same gender loving men love darkly and with just the the moonlight to illuminate or bodies and the ways in which hands and mouths becomes eyea. The way we see each other exist in moments of our animal is to be revered and enjoyed, makes me appreciate even more so every hand that went into such a film even if it didn't make the movie.
