I am the original coiner of the term, and creator of the flag. I coined it back in April of 2021, but never officially I guess ? Anyway, here it is.
ZLOVESCHIAN
A keingender described as being dark and mysterious. It is at times very intimidating, and other times oddly serene and comforting. The gender feels off, as if it is being experienced in a dream you are having while on your deathbed. It is associated with cold and misty conifer forests at night, candles, lanterns, bones, rotting wood, moss, decrepit cabins in the middle of the forest, and the looming feeling of a demonic presence.
The term comes from the Russian word "зловещий" (zloveshchiy), meaning sinister or ominous. It was inspired by a dream I had years ago.
