flag id: two flags in the same format. at the bottom edge of the flag is a book shape made of two shallow curves that dip down and meet in the center. the book has beige pages and a thin dark wine red outline, representing a cover. seven stripes fan out from the dipping center point of the book across the rest of the flag. from left to right, they are near-black, dark cool purple, purple, gold, purple, dark cool purple, and near-black. in the center of the left flag is the magyckraft symbol which is a dark cool purple outline of a circular potion bottle with sloshing liquid inside. there is a large golden sparkle within the liquid, a smaller one above it, and an even smaller one near the opening of the bottle. the bottle is outlined and filled in with silver-white and the liquid is filled in with purple. end id]
banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.
magyckraft: a neogender umbrella for terms related to fictional/fantastical magic
[pt: magyckraft: a neogender umbrella for terms related to fictional/fantastical magic. end pt]
(i use 'fictional magic' in the term definition because things like magic tricks/magicians/etc. and real-life magical practices/beliefs are not the intended subjects of this umbrella!)
concepts potentially included under magyckraft:
fictional magic of any kind
(this includes dark magic — magyckraft can include the most whimsical, cutesy magic and the most gruesome, grimdark magic)
magical practicioners such as witches, wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, etc.
magical items such as spellbooks, wands/staffs, foci, crystals/crystal balls, enchanted clothing/jewelry/weapons, etc.
spells, charms, rituals, hexes, enchantments, etc.
aesthetics directly inspired by fictional magic (such as wizardcore) or similar to/associated with such aesthetics (such as whimsigoth)
and more!
derived terms:
dwim, dwimen: a magyckraft person (derived from 'dwimmer(craft)')
haum, haums: an older magyckraft person (derived from 'thaumaturgy')
carm, carmae: a younger magyckraft person (derived from 'carmen', latin ancestor of 'charm')
magychant: a magyckraft gender ('magyck' + 'enchant')
mgkin: magyckraft-in-nature
magykine: having magyckraft qualities (equivalent of masculine/feminine). noun form is magykinity
craftalic: magyckraft gender alignment ('craft' + 'magical' + 'ic')
transmagykine, transmagyk, transmagyck: transitioning towards magykinity
the term is 'magyck' (an archaic spelling of 'magic', generally seen as 'magyckal') + 'craft', as in witchcraft, spellcraft, etc.
the flag is meant to look like a spellbook releasing some kind of magic — i actually reused the book from my genderteacher flag! for the symbol, i made the potion bottle and liquid myself, then added part of sparkles (4) from this folder. here's the symbol by itself:
[image id: three images of the magyckraft symbol, which is a dark cool purple outline of a circular potion bottle with sloshing liquid inside. there is a large golden sparkle within the liquid, a smaller one above it, and an even smaller one near the opening of the bottle. in the left image, the bottle is outlined and filled in with silver-white and the liquid is filled in with purple. in the center image, only the liquid is filled in. in the right image, it is just the outline and the sparkles. end id.]
and here's the flag template for those who want to coin magychants!
