Shadowsapphic (left), Shadowdiamoric (middle), Shadowachillean (right)

In a similar vein to my other shadow terms, these terms are to denote identifying as Sapphic, Diamoric, or Achillean under certain circumstances or conditions. For reference one can look at the other Shadow terms such as Shadowgay [link] or Shadowenbian [link].

These terms have already been coined by @/thepokedexisgay via this post [link] however I wanted to make it in the general Shadow format that's kinda only in my head. First stripe black, second to last white. Never really mentioned that lol.

Shadowsolian (left), Shadowstellian (middle), Shadowlunian (right)

In a similar vein to my other shadow terms, these terms are to denote identifying as Solain, Stellian, or Lunian under certain circumstances or conditions. For reference one can look at the other Shadow terms such as Shadowgay [link] or Shadowenbian [link].

For these one specifically however, these terms can be used to describe being either:

Having one's experience as a solian/stellian/lunian underneath the shadow term or definition. Not fully or completely 100% IDing as those terms. Basically being a shadow mspec gay.

Being an mspec shadowveldian, shadowenbian, or shadowlesbian.

An orientation term where your lesbian identity is affected by the fact:

One is transmasculine, a trans man, transneutral, nonbinary, or just not a woman (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux individuals), as one is either too dysphoric about being called a woman, experience a disconnection from traditional womanhood, and/or simply doesn’t identify as a woman or with womanhood. They may describe their attraction as any of the following: MLW; MLNB; MLX; NBLW; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their labels as WLW; WLNB; or WLX due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels not straight when with a woman and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria when they sometimes view their attraction as sapphic/lesbian in nature, or as WLW; WLNB; WLX. To express that disconnection, the prefix shadow- is used.

This term also includes those whose orientation is fluid and/or flux, who may not 100% identify with the label of lesbian; due to barely ever experiencing attraction to women (or attraction period), having an attraction to women that feels lesbian but also not, having an attraction to women that’s fluid between being queer and queern’t, and/or experiencing attractions under a lesbian/sapphic lens.

In simpler terms, a shadowlesbian may be defined as the following:

Being multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLW, yet feeling like their attraction to women is gai/queer.

Being m-spec and not WLW, yet feeling a connection to the label.

Being too dysphoric about being called a woman/girl/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLW, MLW or XLW with a connection to the lesbian label.

Having a fluid/flux orientation where one’s not 100% a lesbian due to any reason, but retaining a connection to the lesbian label.

Simply feeling as if one’s lesbian, but also not.

So years (July 19th 2020) ago I coined the Shadow- terms on my original mogai blog. Since then I’ve deleted that blog and one-half of the Shadow- terms do not have rebloggable posts out there, so I decided I’d repost the terms.

A while after (February 27th 2021) another tumblr user (@/thepokedexisgay) decided to make simpler alternate flags to these terms. I’ll be posting a link to their flags at the bottom of these posts.

I made the original flags based off of my original all inclusive lesbian/gay/vincian/etc. flags, and since I’ve remade those and posted them, I figured I’d remake the Shadow- flags as well, simplifying them and following the color schemes of my new flags. So yeah, some “official” flags for these terms.

That being said, I made the new Shadowlesbian flag based off of my Flowerbed Lesbian flag, so along with that if you ID as Shadowsapphic/ShadowQ4W or whoever else I mentioned could use the Flowerbed Lesbian flag, you can also use this flag if you feel your orientation is Shadow-.

(I’d prefer people use these flags as the official versions versus the originals, however if u personally like the other flags whether it’s Alois’s (thepokedexisgay) or the original ones, or feel like making your own based on an alternate lesbian/veldian/enbian/etc. flag, feel free to go on ahead.)

Yes, most of the definition in this post is ripped directly from the LGBTA wiki, with some changes to it due to my current knowledge of labels.

They may describe their attraction as any of the following: MLM; MLNB; MLX; NBLM; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their labels as WLM; WLNB; WLX due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels straight when with a man and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria when they sometimes view their attraction as strayt/julietian in nature, or as WLM. To express that disconnection, the prefix shadow- is used.

One is transfeminine, a trans woman, transneutral, nonbinary, or just not a man (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux individuals), as one is either too dysphoric about being called a man, experience a disconnection from traditional manhood, and/or simply doesn’t identify as a man or with manhood.

This term also includes those whose orientation is fluid and/or flux, who may not 100% identify with the label of straight; due to barely ever experiencing attraction to men (or attraction period), having an attraction to men that feels straight but also not, having an attraction to men that’s fluid between being queer and queern’t, and/or experiencing attractions under a straight/queern’t lens.

Shadowgay is the umbrella term for shadowlesbian, shadowfloric, shadowenbian, and other shadow- labels that are queer.

Includes trans/nonbinary people who feels semi-connection to a certain label despite dysphoria or not being the gender the label usually pertains to. Being _LW; _LM; _LNB and/or _LX, etc, and feeling attraction to the same/similar gender as oneself but not necessarily being that gender or being dysphoric about being considered that gender.

It also includes those with fluid and/or flux orientations, who may not 100% identify with certain label due to either not being those labels often, or simply due to a disconnect. This could also include labels where your attraction feels both queer and non-queer, or fluid between the two.
