[pt: tenethesia: a subset of aurethesia related to dark auroracore/dark ethereal fantasy and the concepts and visuals behind it. end pt]
day 6 of my 5000 followers event, ‘a term under a neogender umbrella’!
this is a dark auroracore version of aurethesia! i'd consider this a smaller umbrella beneath the umbrella of aurethesia - every tenethesia gender is an aurethesia gender, but not all aurethesia genders are tenethesia.
the main difference between this and aurethesia is that tenethesia includes darker imagery, such as black/dark purple/dark blue accented with the colors included in aurethesia, moral ambiguity or villainy, creatures and characters that lean more towards creepy/scary than cute/pure, etc. the aesthetic's creator has a pinterest where you can compare auroracore and dark auroracore visuals!
colors are taken from various dark auroracore images and the format is the same as the aurethesia flag. the symbol is a magic staff/wand like the aurethesia symbol, but with the diamond swapped out for a crescent moon, since i felt it represented the darker color palette of this aesthetic. the moon is edited from crescent moon (5) from this folder.
the term is 'ten' from 'tenebris' (latin for 'darkness'), 'ethe' from 'ethereal', + 'sia' from 'phantasia' (latin for 'fantasy'). it's pronounced 'ten-eh-thee-shuh', with emphasis on the third syllable.
derived terms:
teth: a tenethesia person. plural is tethi.
teneth: a tenethesia gender. plural is tenethi.
tenin: tenethesia-in-nature (ex: teningender)
ten, tene, neth, nethe, tesia: optional prefixes and suffixes for tenethesia genders. one could also use general aurethesia suffixes for tenethesia genders.
tenethine: having tenethesia qualities. the noun form is tenethinity. (tenethesia equivalent of masculine/masculinity, feminine/femininity, etc.)
transtenethine: transitioning towards tenethinity (tenethesia equivalent of transmasc/transfem/etc.)
tenauric: gender alignment to tenethesia/tenethinity

flag id: the top image and bottom left image are both a flag with 7 stripes. in order, they are soft indigo, indigo, dark faded indigo, indigo-black, dark faded indigo, indigo, and soft indigo. there are 'swooping' shapes at the bottom left and top right corners, which emerge from the bottom and top stripe respectively and end just over two-thirds of the way up and down the flag respectively. the bottom left 'swoop' gradiates from soft indigo at the bottom stripe to light cyan at the tip, and the top right 'swoop' gradiates from soft indigo at the top stripe to light pink at the tip.
in the center of the left flag is a soft indigo symbol that looks like a magic wand. it's made up of a straight line with a crescent moon with its points facing upwards at one end. at the same end as the crescent moon, one on either side of the line and not quite touching the line itself, are small bird wing shapes. the symbol is angled about 30 degrees to the right.
the bottom right image is the same symbol that is on the top flag. end id.
banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.
