[Image ID 1: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, the colours go; blue, teal, light green, white, pale yellow, orange, and red. End ID.]

[Image ID 2: a flag with 7 equal horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, the colours go; dark blue, medium blue, blue, white desaturated purple, desaturated medium purple, and desaturated dark purple. End ID.]

When someone is "gay in every way/gay in every direction". Corvian is an inherently mspec identity. Someone who is corvian may:

View all their attraction as gay or queer regardless of gender.

Be abro or have fluid or fluctuating attraction/sexuality.

Have a static/non-fluctuating attraction.

Identify with other mspec labels alongside corvian.

Be wlw, mlm, nln, ala, and xelxe, etc. (e.g., multigender people).

Identify as a lesbian, veldian, cenelian, nixian, xenian, varian, etc., as a combo of them, or them all at the same time.

Have specifically veldian attraction towards men, lesbian attraction towards women, cenelian attraction towards nonbinary people, nixian attraction towards genderless people, xenian attraction towards xenogender people, varian attraction towards multigender people, etc.

Be omnique, llenxflux, or genderfluid and change between orientation labels.

Etc.

Named after the constellation, Corvus and corvids, because corvids like to collect things, and I feel that represents this label perfectly.

No specific colour meanings, I did try to take inspiration from the colour of crows and ravens when making the flags though.

[Pt: Feral Attraction - end pt]

An attraction that is inherently feral in some way. Feral attraction is wild, primal, and animalistic, whatever these may mean to the user. This attraction is not easily described by existing labels, which may be the prompting to use this term.

This can be applied to rose or non-rose attraction. (Ex of formats: bisexual ferality/feral bi)

This may be related to alterhumanity, but it does not have to be!!

Fangs + Scratches Attribution

A flag for a late day 11 of my Coining Event :

OBSESSIQUE !!

a term (can be used as a gender, orientation, or general identity term) that is related to BPD, obsession, possessiveness, protectiveness, jealousy, affection, attention, [an obsession with] love and romance. it can also be related to more (BPD related) things similar to what is listed.

this term can refer to people who feel these things are related to their orientation, potentially being arospec-related. one may feel like they do not experience "typical" romantic attraction because their attraction is influenced by these things, or these things exist in place of conventional attraction. one may feel their romantic attraction or relationship with romance/attraction is shaped by these things.

this term can also be used as a gender or general identity, if one feels their gender or any aspect of their identity is influenced by these things. it is an intentionally vague, vast term. it can refer to any identity experience as long as it is somewhat related to these things, particularly BPD.

EXAMPLES: romantic attraction that feels obsessive, possessive, unstable. a gender influenced by BPD and obsession with romance and love. feeling obsession/possessiveness/jealousy (in a BPD way) in place of romantic attraction. not knowing if you experience romantic attraction, but feeling your orientation in influenced by BPD and these things. when someone's identity is shaped by obsession, possesiveness, romance, love, BPD, etc. ++ many more experiences that fit the user who identifies with the term!

BAT4BEAR / BEAR4BAT: for bats who are attracted to or date bears / for bears who are attracted to or date bats

Ultromanotin

A Humanotin term for objects who have or desire romantic and/or sexual relationships with both people and other objects

Ultro is Latin for “on that side and on this”

This was a term that was coined on twitter by me around 2020 in an account that doesn’t exist anymore.

So I’m reposting it here and modifying the definition a bit from what I originally had planned, as another similar term has been coined too.

Original definition: A nonbinary person with a gender unrelated to manhood and womanhood that’s attracted to other nonbinary people who’s gender is unrelated to manhood and womanhood. An abinary equivalent to sapphic and achillean

New definition: Someone who experience queer attraction towards nonbinary people with genders unrelated to manhood and/or womanhood, no matter if say attraction is exclusive or not. An aphorian (mostly) equivalent to sapphic and achillean, and a subset of enbian/cypric.

This includes, but its not limited to:

Maverique and maverique-, adjacent gender.

People who are “just nonbinary”

People of neutral or neuter gender

Xenogender people

[PT: Neuro Aspec. End PT.]

[Image ID: 4 identical flags, all with 9 equal horizontal stripes. Each stripe is a different desaturated colour. From top to bottom, the colours go; black, purple, pink, orange, white, green, teal, blue, and black. The first flag has a black infinity symbol in the centre of it. The second flag has a grey infinity symbol in the centre of it. The third flag has a white infinity symbol in the centre of it. The last flag has a thick rainbow infinity symbol in the centre of it. End ID.]

Based on this flag with the same colour meanings.

Definition: When someone's neurodivergence affects their a-spec identity / their a-spec identity is connected to/intertwined with their neurodivergence.

Exclusive to neurodivergent folk. Transx/TransID DNI.

There are 4 different versions because I couldn't decide between just one. I made one with a grey infinity symbol bc a lot of a-spec flags have grey in them and I wanted to have grey in it as well, but without giving the flag too many stripes.

[PT: Greyspec. End PT.]

[Image ID 1: a rectangular flag with 6 equal horizontal stripes. The first 5 stripes are a gradient from dark-ish/mid grey to light grey, and the bottom stripe is a very dark grey. End ID.]

[Image ID 2: same design as the first flag, but the gradient has a faint green tint/hue. End ID.]

[Image ID 3: a rectangular flag with 5 equal horizontal stripes. In order of top to bottom, the colours go: grey-turquoise, light grey-turquoise, white, light grey, and grey. End ID.]

Greyspec, or Grayspec – not experiencing attraction in the same way as others. Some examples are: experiencing attraction less frequently; not experiencing it to the same degree as most; or feeling attraction only occasionally and not all the time.

Greyspec is the grey area between Aspec (little to no attraction) and Allo (experiences attraction normally)

There are many different ways to be greyspec, as it is a spectrum. And greyspec is not just for greysexual or greyromantic, it is a term that can be used for any and all attractions.
