Definition:

genderfluid people who move between or embody both Flaerique (soft sapphic) and Krinovian (soft masc/mlm) energies

drift between sapphic and masc-aligned identities,

feel both Flaerique and Krinovian but never fixed in either,

express queerness through subtle emotional motion, not binary categories,

feel comfort in symbols (sea creatures, soft gender, unspoken queerness),

may not always feel "proud" or "visible" but exist gently and deeply.

symbolism of coral:

Represents connection, evolution, and the ecosystem of shifting gender and love.

🦀 Krinovian (krih-NOH-vee-un)

Origin: From Kiwa hirsuta, the scientific name of the yeti crab, combined with the soft, alien-sounding suffix -ovian, evoking something deep-sea, mystical, and unnameable.

Definition:

A queer, masc-aligned identity for someone who:

feels some kind of attraction to men/masculine people,

is unsure, hesitant, or emotionally unready to claim "gay", "mlm", or "queer",

prefers softness, symbolism, or ambiguity over direct labeling,

sees masculinity as fuzzy, quiet, and strange—like the yeti crab in its deep-sea hydrothermal world.

Symbolism of the Yeti Crab:

Lives in total darkness on hydrothermal vents — beautiful, strange, thriving in extremes.

Its fuzzy claws hold symbiotic bacteria — it nurtures its own weirdness.

Masculinity here is not aggressive; it’s quiet, plush, and glowing at the edges.

The name sounds like a secret society or oceanic myth, giving comfort through abstraction.
