@rwuffles - the infamous rwuffles!! a huge contributor to the mogai community and also the host of 2025's AAPI coining event. has coined many vietnamese terms such as red lotus (link), người chuột (link), and descelongem (link) amongst many others!
@lotusqai - a recently made asian centric(?) mogai blog featuring our favourite chinese terms of all time...zhongguofengic (link) and buddhist terms such as omnisamsara (link) being examples!!
@angelomour - a personal favourite of ours...a jirai themed blog that probably has more flags than we have hairs on our head /j. unbelievably talented, whether that be flags such as [x]4pstar (link) and our personal favourite various lotus genders (link) that it coined!
@transfemmav - a newer blog, though currently on hiatus, that makes many cultural terms such as skipper butterfly (link) and both black and latine terms like black eyed susan vine (link) and ariranha (link)!!
@pawbeans-flags - a coining blog with many well known [x]symbol templates! ex. [x]astrosun (link), semicol[x] (link), and infini[x] being popular ones. has tons of variety such as transmasculine apple pie (link) and alt femboy (link).
@thecloudservice - yet another mogai coining blog with lots of variety to choose from!! has coined lovely terms such as turkomongolinguic (link), employedqueer (link), footboy (link), and many others that are worth checking out!
@svd-mogai - a coining blog with unique flags of all kinds that range from pronoun flags like their 彼女 pronoun flag (link), recently coined timeline shock flag (link), and many paiviane terms such as paiviolivetrees (link)!
[pt. Final Thoughts and Notes. end pt.]
although we currently aren't sure of any asian archivists other than ourselves, please be sure to let us know if we missed anyone when possible!! this month has made us very sappy so please forgive the quick ramble, but we love this community so dearly and have a lot of familial and emotional attachment to the asian community as a whole. we are so so fond of each and every one of you. despite the setbacks and rampant western presence of a majority of the mogai community, we are steadily making progress, and that means something.
to non-asian individuals reading this, please take this month as an opportunity to listen and uplift asian voices. reblog asian terms, promote and advocate for asians outside and inside this community, and more than importantly, be kind and willing to learn. diversity is so, so beautiful- and on that note, we'll be taking this month as a time to discuss discourse within the mogai community in regards to asian culture and just really embrace our identity as an asian canadian!! thank you so much for reading!!
