❀ Carnalexic ❀ Carnagelexic ❀ Vivisectlexic

{Pt: Carnalexic, carnagelexic, vivisectlexic.}

Carnalexic- A lexic gender connected/related to, described by, or just is the word "carnal".

Carnagelexic- A lexic gender connected/related to, described by, or just is the word "carnage".

Vivisectlexic- A lexic gender connected/related to, described by, or just is the word "vivisect".

Words derived from the base word- i.e. carnally, vivisection- can be included, but it's up to the individual.

Note: HOOOLY HELL I FINALLY DID IT ALL. HSHSGDHG. i seriously lacked motivation but. BUT. I was determined to finish. Finishing tasks with adhd is.. Notoriously challenging. (<- understatement of the fucking century.) I ended up just using a term I've had on the backburner for this but I DONT CARE BECAUSE ITS DONE. AND its a two for one. WEEPING. I WAS SO LATE BUT ITS DONE.

(yes Jazmin Bean was in mind for carnagelexic.)

ACT 1: EXPOSITION there are days, father is here to stay, and there is so much to do that mother can’t breathe. and there are days father is away and there is so little to do that mother. can’t breathe.

ACT 2:  RISING ACTION sometimes we have family discussions and as we talk, talk and talk; mother drowns, drowns and drowns; the pressure cooker screams, screams and screams; until the maid runs in, crying someone in her village is dead Amma nods her head in empathy.

ACT 3:  CLIMAX mother, her tongue, Slips, slides and stumbles over this foreign language her husband and children converse in so effortlessly - A world she is invited to, but not welcome in. Hovering on the threshold, never in, nor out we watch her performance with sympathy.

ACT 4: FALLING ACTION Mother should leave. But won't. Can't. The implicit permission to rebel not granted. Sometimes she looks at me the way I look at myself: abandoned. betrayed. lost. alone.

❀ Philologist Occuden

{PT: Philologist occuden}

An occuden identity based on being a philologist; when being a philologist is intrinsic to and strongly influences one's identity. One may identify stronger with being a philologist, or have it be a larger part of one's identity, than the average experience other philologists typically have.

Colors inspired by these language-related conceptum terms by @crowdsourcedgender. I was at a loss for colors, going mostly with yellow.. but those flags inspired me. So now the flag looks like ice cream! Yayy! Meant to represent how colorful language is :) the middle yellows are to represent history and paper, and the browns are for academia.
