Hi, I was wondering if you could make me a flag? Sorry, this request got really long.
I’m genderfluid, and I’ve started feeling xenogenders. I don’t feel them often enough to name them all, but there are a few that I feel frequently, and I’ve finally put a name on the most recent one: obsidiangender (that’s really long, please tell me if you have ideas on how to make it shorter, I’m new to this).
The problem is, past uses of this gender have been related to the Minecraft block, and that’s not how I feel at all. I found a couple non-Minecraft related flags on Pinterest, and one of them is alright, but I don’t think it would call out to me if I was actively feeling it.
To me, obsidiangender is pitch black, empty, and chilly, like a large cavern, but with glints of color and light in the distance (I’ve felt brown, green, purple, and white, but it’s really indistinct), like reflections off of obsidian. It’s ever so slightly masculine, but mostly agender and very detached.
The problem I have with the current flag was that it was way too desaturated (I don’t think it’s the most colorful gender, but it’s not all gray; I’m still a box of Queerios, lol), but one thing I do like is that the colored/lighter stripes are smaller than the darker ones.
Thanks for reading! If you don’t end up making it, that’s okay. I just thought your coined genders were good when I saw them in the xenogender subreddit, and I when I saw you were taking requests, I immediately made a Tumblr account! Keep up the good work!
all done! i couldn't reply to this ask with the flag's image, but you can see it if you check the blog! :)
