CIRNATURA: a term for individuals who implement the fictional trope of the omegaverse, be that the dynamics, habits, behaviours etc, into their identity and lifestyle
circum (round) + natura (nature). like the natural cycle of heats and ruts!
TERMINOLOGY
CIRNA: prefix for cirnatura related terms
CIRNAFOLK: cirnatura individuals
CIRNALUPUS: a cirnatura identity based on the original omegaverse trope which pertains to the biology of wolves
IMPORTANT INFO
- I have implemented omegaverse into my lifestyle for a long time, since I was a pre-teen. finding the miscecanis community made me feel so incredibly seen and Iโm very grateful for the experience Iโve had there. however, I have a lot of current anxiety posting about my experiences with it and for the sake of avoiding any harm to anyone and myself, Iโm coining cirnatura for myself and some friends. I donโt expect it will pick up like miscecanis has as a term but thatโs okay, I want to make it clear this doesnโt exist to replace/recoin or stand against miscecanis in any way. I wish no ill-will to the coiner.
- anyone in the world is welcome to use cirnatura. you can be a miscecanid and also use cirnatura if you want. I donโt want my own ideologies attached to my terms and you are welcome to disagree with me on discourse and still use them. people could be cirnatura for any reason, alterhumanity plurality neurodivergency or just because whaaatever the world is your oyster
- you are also welcome to coin and make flags for cirnatura! would love to see it!!!
- omegaverse has lots of different interpretations for different people. I wonโt be outlining specific definitions for alpha, beta, omega, etc as these can vary slightly from person to person. youโre welcome to ask about my own experience with it though!
- while based on a fictional trope, cirnatura is not fiction or roleplay
- you are welcome to ask me any questions about cirnatura! my inbox and heart are open
Anyone can use our terms, though some might be more relevant to specific identities.
(The first flag is more stylised; the second is a simpler version.)
Description
Panoptigenic systems were formed either partially or completely due to experiences like surveillance, a lack of privacy, or the fear of being watched. It is an adaptive (and more often than not, traumagenic) origin.
Some examples of these experiences may include:
Being stalked.
Needing to stay closeted, or the fear of being outed.
Growing up with "helicopter" or strict parents, especially if they monitor your activity online.
Having your personal space, boundaries, or privacy violated (physically or emotionally).
Using โ especially growing up on โ the Internet; issues relating to cybersecurity in the age of things like generative AI and age verification laws.
A fear, phobia, or delusion that someone is monitoring you, including as a result of schizospec conditions.
Being told that your abuser, or a higher being, knows what you're doing/thinking at all times.
Religious trauma relating to deities being omniscient (all-knowing).
Government-based surveillance in countries under oppressive regimes.
Some members of panoptigenic systems may do everything in their power to give themselves or others in the system privacy, while others might give up on the idea entirely because it seems impossible to achieve. Within the system, there may be an unusually heavy focus on keeping secrets from outsiders. The system may come off as aloof, secretive, or withdrawn.
Related terms:
Faucets can stop the system revealing personal/sensitive information to outsiders.
Masked systems are covert, or trying to make themselves such.
Phobiogenic refers to systems formed by phobias, which could include those related to being watched.
Etymology + pronunciation
pan-OP-ti-JEHN-ik
pan like "panel", op like "optical", ti like "tickle", jehn like "Jennie", ik like the end of "Rubik".
Based on the concept of the Panopticon (Greek pรขn, meaning "all", and optikรณs, meaning "visible"), a particular design for prisons so that its guards could observe the prisoners at all times + the suffix "-genic", used to describe the cause or origin of something.
Flag
All blues: Knowledge; the varying shades of light and dark represent access to knowledge (such as that about the system) and lack thereof, respectively.
Yellow: Resembles a spotlight shining onto someone; references the yellow on hazard signs, symbolising alertness and vigilance.
Circles/curved designs: Alludes to the Panopticon's intended layout, with the person at the centre having a full 360ห view of the prisoners.
Yellow circle+triangle thing: Looks like a spotlight beam, pointing down at the person being watched. Also resembles a keyhole, referencing the theme of security (or lack thereof), or an anonymous profile picture (alluding to the Internet/cybersecurity).
Dark 4-pointed star: In the first flag, it represents the one being watched. In the second, it represents the one watching.
Navy/black bars (second design): Resembles the black bars you see at the top of your screen when watching a movie, invoking the feeling of being watched or "onscreen".
