Tap "A" quickly to overcome trauma!

“I mention a real-life example of that kind of bad architecture in one episode; the Pope Lick Bridge in Kentucky, a place that looks and feels so sinister that it developed its own local folklore about a goat-man who attacks people who stray too close to the edge – and which has ended up resulting in deaths as visitors peer over the side trying to get a peek at the monster.

“I find this kind of stuff fascinating, because it plays into my own paranoia about environments, and my dislike of ghost stories with explicably human antagonists. Like David says in the first episode, people aren’t frightening. Places are frightening.

“If I’m sitting alone at home on a dark and stormy night, and I glance nervously up towards the bedroom doorway, my fear is not that my house is being haunted by a spirit called Mabel who died in the 19th century at the age of fourteen and is constantly seeking her favourite teddy bear… because all of these details both humanise her and make her ridiculous.

“My fear is that there will be something standing in the doorway, because the doorway is where things come to stand.

“Because unoccupied spaces, in our imaginations, must find something to fill them.”

I can't cook or make food if people are in the same room or just same space as me, it makes me uncomfortable and I feel unwelcome in my own kitchen, even if they're just minding their own business. It's a me issue but it's debilitating.

Singularian.

(Singularian/Singulaian/Singularic) 

There are two definitions for singularity: the state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular; and a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole.

The name already implies exactly how singular the identity is, and that’s useful, as pretty and aesthetically pleasing as voidian/voidarian/voidic sound, and besides, gendervoid is already an identity. (Although, ironically, it would likely be able to fit under singularianism.) 

Some people have asked me, “how is stellarian any different? the whole point of a stellunaric identity is to reject alignment, right?” Yes, and no. 

I see stellarianism as more of a neutral ground. Think of the structure of an atom; there are protons with a positive charge, electrons with a negative charge, and neutrons, which have no charge at all, and most importantly, are able to coexist with particles that do have charges. 

This comes especially in handy for bigender/trigender/etc. people who have one static gender and one fluid and/or flux gender. 

Singularianism, by definition, cannot have ties to other gender identities or alignments. It’s not neutral, either; it can only be described on a plane of existence entirely separate from the gender binary, galactian trinary, or what-have-you. 

If you identify as singularian, you reject any and all ties to binary genders without exception. I haven’t exactly worked out the whole mechanic of this identity yet, but I’d say it’s possible to be singularflux and not singularfluid, or if singularfluid, perhaps only ever fluid between singularianism and stellunarianism–again, I’m not sure if that’s how things are going to work, I know some people will not be satisfied with a term that can bend itself a little in any way. I’m just not sure how much this term should/shouldn’t accommodate those people yet.

I really do like voidian/voidarian/voidic, though, and I think those can be more aesthetic-related terms that fit under the umbrella of singularianism. 

This wouldn’t technically be one of the galactian alignments; I’m going to call it the galactian anomaly, or galactian field in case the first one implies singularian identities are “weird” or “abnormal.” Use whichever one you prefer.
