Conceptane

[ID: A flag with four equal horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, they are purple, purplish blue, dark pink, and grayish purple. In the middle of the flag there is a symbol, which resembles a circle with a sideways stylized four pointed star overlapping it. The symbol is black with a white outline. End ID.]

We believe everyone and everything that exists has a concept- from the smallest pebble to the most powerful deity. It functions like a true name does in fantasy stories, but is made up of more abstract ideas and feelings than words or sounds- although the IDEA of certain words and sounds can also be a part of one's concept. One's concept can also change with time, as one's self and idea of who they are changes as well.

Most beings do not know the entirety of their concept, but can pick up parts and themes that are a part of it. One's gender, sexuality, alterhumanity, plurality, or any other significant part of their identity may play a role in their concept, but it is not necessary for them to.

A way of describing ones concept is with a conceptane label, which is being coined right now in this post. For example, a being who's concept includes rabbits would be called rabbit conceptane. This can also be spelled without a space between the words, as rabbitconceptane.

Conceptane labels can easily overlap with other labels- a being who is catgender might also be cat conceptane, as might a being who has a feline alterhuman identity. Both beings have cats as an important part of their identity and concept, though in different contexts.

Anything that is important to who one is and how one sees themself can be part of ones concept, and therefore have a conceptane label made to represent that.

Lurkerian — Reworked

[PT/Lurkerian — Reworked/end PT]

[ID/A dark red line with gold lining and a repeating star and half moon pattern./end ID]

Reworking and expanding on my Lurkerian gender umbrella I made a year or so ago as a system (decided to make it into an official umbrella, don't mind that.). Wasn't really that happy with it and I wanted to remake it. So, here, enjoy?

Lurkerian is an gender umbrella that consists of apocalyptic world and ferity themes related to being a lurking creature in short; however, it's also related to...

The primal fear one gets within the darkness, not knowing or seeing what's out there.

Lurking and hunting, being a predator, to adrenaline and danger.

Being a creature of some kind, maybe something not entirely human, to nonhuman concepts.

the concepts of night, darkness, and the twilight.

Solar & lunar eclipse symbolism; new beginnings and opportunities of renewal. Solar eclipses specifically also being treated as a sign of a doomsday and at the same time as the day of renewal and new beginning for humanity and general life on earth.

The animalistic concepts, ferality in both humans and creatures, and general ferity and animality.

And the concept of doing anything for survival, to adaptive behavior and forgotten morale and ethics because they don't apply to the world around you anymore.

To injustice and anarchism, chaos within the world as everything unfolds.

to rundown cities and dystopian societies, to apocalyptic settings and worlds where the world is rundown for different reasons, including but not limited to a plague or different types of wars.

The utter madness and paranoia one may succumb to after/during extreme stress situations.

To lure prey and possible hostiles around, being a runner or lurer.

To foraging and living off the land. To simple survival. To being resourceful.

The horror and gorey themes, grotesque aesthetics and macabre themes, the slaughter of innocence and hunting of survival whether that is creatures or humans (thus could have cannibalistic themes).

To cryptology and the aesthetics of cryptidcore, apocalypses, salvagepunk, biopunk, the concept of hopepunk, visuals of grime arts, and possibly to mythpunk.

Might have a connection to some whump media themes but does not specifically need to.

This is more or less made with alterhumans in mind, but can be used in any way the user wishes.

This is an neogender umbrella, it is not specifically related to any other gender umbrellas however it may overlap with themes and such, and it could be classified under the Dystrofare umbrella but a bit to the left in some way. However, this gender umbrella is somewhat horrorgender-adjacent, and may have in common things with the Feruvel umbrella.
