This is an archive for MUDs and any MUD-like/MUD-adjacent terms. I also run an archive on neocities were I upload these terms for better preservation and organisation!
All terms will be archived regardless of any controversy that might surround the term or it's coiner.
Feel free to ask any questions to me about MUDs or about the archive. Tho I may not answer rude or hateful questions and I do not do term requests.
A Medically Unrecognized Illness wherein one slowly develops "zombie-like" symptoms. Victims of Malignecrosis Stage 4 are called Malignecrotics, Necrotics for short.
The stages of Malignecrosis are as follows:
Stage 1: Slower thoughts and reaction times. Increased dissociation and daydreaming. An increased appetite, especially for meat.
Stage 2: Dissociation and sluggishness now makes it hard for subject to focus at most times. Bloodshot eyes and frequent headaches or migrains emerge. Hunger cannot be satiated even through over-eating. Subjects report feeling "always a little hungry." Subjects also report restlessness, and symptoms of insomnia emerge. Subjects often forget to maintain hygiene. Subjects lose all interest in non-meat foods, describing them as variations of "gross," "unappetizing," or "disgusting." Seasoned and cooked meat still is preferred by most, though some claim no preference.
Stage 3: Hunger pains are now constant and is described as "unbearable." Dissociation is difficult to break through, even using pain, and most subjects stare into space unless sleeping. Insomnia sets in, and most subjects sleep very little, if at all. Unless reminded or guided through it, subjects do not sleep, speak, or maintain their hygiene at all. Subjects will only eat meat. All subjects at this stage claim any meat — cooked or uncooked, seasoned or unseasoned — tastes "delicious" or "amazing."
Stage 4: Subjects lose ability to communicate coherently. its unclear what the subject experiences from this point, due to communication with them being impossible. Agression sets in. Upon seeing any living being (aside from plants) or corpse, the subject will attempt to attack and/or eat it.
It's unclear how Malignecrotics choose between which beings they "turn" and which they completely devour, but it will be clear in seconds if the being has been chosen to turn, as all Malignecrotics will cease attacking them and return to their previously idle state (unless another living being is present) — even if said being attacks a Malignecrotic.
Malignecrosis is passed via bodily fluids. Avoid close contact with anyone you suspect could have had fluid contact with a being with Malignecrosis.p
Malignecrosis is zoonotic (passed from animal to human ir vice versa) and as such, not limited to humans. If an animal is showing signs of Malignecrosis, do not approach and quickly leave the area.

Haiii could we request like. A food desire disorder (mud) flag,,? You can change that name I haven't worked out the details for a reason. Something something disordered craving for a specific food and being unable to eat other foods because of it. Specifically pizza (can you see where this is going). I think this is what the kids call ARFID however ☝️ it is giving one of our Elliot fictives dysphoria to Not have this weirdly specific term so if you would also be okay with making a transid/permaid flag that would be awesome THANK YOUUUU /NF
OKAY SO. to preface why this took so long, we struggled to understand this request a bit (not your fault, but long paragraphs can be hard for us to parse.) and so we've just decided to cover all possible interpretations of this ask that we can lol.
first and foremost: a permapizzaeating flag has been previously coined by khaotickoins!
〚 when one only craves eating pizza to the point of disordered eating. those with this disorder may find other foods disgusting, repulsive, or otherwise unappealing. the resulting avoidance of other foods may lead to malnutrition if not properly managed. 〛

@the-mud-hub @maki--archival
note: these are old old old flags from right after i started this blog. i like some of them more than others but would change things abt them all if i had the inclination or energy. this idea has been sitting in my drafts for AGES so im kinda just writing up the idea and throwing it into the world. if it resonates with someone then my job is complete i guess! haha
Could you mayb coin a MUD based on Midori from yansim
This was super fun to make!! Enjoy! (Also yes I accidentally posted w/o commentary oops ignore that.)

Questioning Nonsense Abnormality // QNA
(Questioning Nonsense Abnormality / QNA)
{ QNA is a MUD characterized by the sufferer asking endless repetitive questions, usually of an easy to deduce nature. One with this disorder may have trouble censoring or curbing their questions, and may ask things that seem common sense. This abnormality can cause its sufferers to struggle connecting one answer to another, and many of their questions may be related or have the same answer due to this. }
SYMPTOMS ARE:
✎ difficulty “reading the room.”
✄ Struggling to connect ideas and concepts with each other (abstract or not, closely related or not).
✎ having trouble with one’s brain-to-mouth filter.
✄ difficulty following multi-step directions and needing to be walked through tasks.
✎ difficulty knowing when one’s “turn” is during conversations.
✄ trouble taking in new ideas unless introduced to them multiple times in different ways.
✎ not intrinsically understanding “common sense” information due to the above symptoms.
⎾An ID prefix which denotes one has recovered from (whatever that means for the being) an ID they previously identified as/with (cis, trans, etc). The caveat being that one must have, at some point, genuinely identified as/with it.⏌
⎿i.e. if you never identified as being Soft-Hearted at some point (either at the time or in retrospect), you cannot be RecovSoftHearted, nor can you be RecovNeurotypical if you never identified as being Neurotypical in the first place! Think of it like how you must get a cut before you need to heal it.⏋
｟ Ex. RecovSmoker, where one no longer has or only experiences mild symptoms of Nicotine Addiction due to recovery. ｠
EX-ID
PT: Ex-ID
⎾An ID prefix which denotes one (for any reason) no longer has/identifies with an ID they previously identified as/with (cis, trans, etc). The caveat being that one must have, at some point, genuinely identified as/with it. One does not need to identify as recovered from the ID for it to be an Ex-ID.⏌
⎿i.e. if you never identified as a Woman at some point (either at the time or in retrospect), you cannot be ExWoman, nor can you be ExOCD if you never identified as having OCD in the first place! Think of it like how you must have actually dated someone for them to be your Ex.⏋
｟ Ex. ExARFID, where one no longer has or identifies with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder for any reason. ｠
Aspect Carouselism (or simply Carouselism) is a condition in which one feels as though an aspect of themself seems to "spin" or "rotate," as if on a carousel, until eventually settling on one—this could either feel like the carousel slowling to a stop, with the chosen option facing the experiencer, like one is becoming part of the carousel, or like choosing one of the possible options to "ride."
Each option on the "Carousel" may be called a "Carouself." There is no limit or rule to how many Carouselves one may have, how they are arranged on the Carousel, how many Carousels one may have, or who may use this term.
The following are some premade subterm flags, however these are certainly not the only aspects of a being's mind. Feel free to make your own flags/terms using the templates provided at the bottom.
PERSONA CAROUSELISM
Persona Carouselism covers the aspect of the "Persona" or "Outer-Self" that one displays when socializing.
ATTRACTION CAROUSELISM
Attraction Carouselism covers the aspect of any form of attraction—including nonsexual, paraphilic, and other non-normative forms of attraction—that one may experience at any specific time.
PHOBIA CAROUSELISM
Phobia Carouselism covers the aspect of any forms of fear, hatred, or disgust one may have towards a certain object, place, group, or other thing.
SPECIES CAROUSELISM
Species Carouselism covers the aspect of what species one identifies at any specific time.
AGE CAROUSELISM

GENDER CAROUSELISM
Gender Carouselism covers the aspect of what gender one identifies at any specific time.
ETHNICITY CAROUSELISM
Ethnicity Carouselism covers the aspect of what ethnicity one identifies at any specific time.
Episodic Psychosomatic Paralysis (Disorder) is a Medically Unrecognized Disorder (or Enorder) characterized by a sudden, unexpected inability to control or command one or more limbs. In some cases, there is a short warning period before said limb(s) cease to respond to commands, but in others, this can lead to collapses or dropping items and precautions must be taken just in case.
Common underlying causes are: (either chronic or acute, but in most cases chronic) pain, physical stressors, or injuries that have been left neglected, disregarded, or ignored ; recurrent stress or trauma, especially when location-based or specific-person-based ; or repeatedly overworking oneself.
MAIN SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
❀ trance-like episodes, i.e. "Lockdowns," in which one feels unable to move, adjust or react, in regard to the affected limb(s) or, in rarer cases, one's whole body (such episodes may be referred to as "Shutdowns" instead, to differentiate.)
✦ a sudden inability to move one or more limbs—usually in pairs (i.e. both arms or both legs).
❀ stiffness in joints and numbness in limbs which slowly increases in intensity as the Lock/Shutdown begins, and conversely, decreases in intensity and/or recedes as a Lockdown passes.
✦ episodes that range anywhere from 10 seconds to over 15 minutes. The longer an episode lasts, the more likely it is to become a Shutdown, assuming it began as a Lockdown.
❀ a feeling pre-episode that something is off, fuzzy or is “about to go wrong.” This can feel like a pressure bearing on the being’s mind, a sense of foreboding, or even be preceded by mild hallucinations (audio, visual, sensory, etc.).
✦ in some cases, a general lack of awareness or confusion about surroundings post-, or mid-episode. (These feelings should recede as one exits a Lock/Shutdown and reacquaints oneself with said surroundings.)
All-Encompassing Hatred Disorder is a disorder characterized by feeling hatred towards everything and everyone at all times. The hatred must cause distress or impairment in the beings life for one to be diagnosed with this disorder.
SYMPTOMS ARE:
✎ Difficulty socializing with others due to uncontrollable feelings of hatred and/or disgust.
✄ Feelings of hatred and disgust which are not be personal or based in fact, due to a specific trait or appearance, or anything in particular. They must be completely unbiased.
✎ Limited and/or muted emotional range due to the constant feelings of hatred overlaying all other emotions.
✄ Hatred applying even to those the being enjoys spending time with or even loves/cares for.
✎ Difficulty controlling or monitoring dissociation & derealization.
All-Encompassing Hatred Personality Disorder is a disorder characterized by feeling hatred towards everything and everyone at all times--to the point of personality impairment, social dysfunction/distress, and day-to-day functional impairment. The hatred must cause distress or impairment in the beings life for one to be diagnosed with this disorder. One can compare the difference between these two disorders to the difference between OCD and OCPD.
SYMPTOMS ARE:
✎ Extreme difficulty socializing and connecting with others with others due to uncontrollable feelings of hatred and/or disgust (etc).
✄ Feelings of hatred and disgust which are not personal or based in fact, due to a specific trait or appearance, or anything in particular. They must be completely unbiased.
✎ Extremely limited and muted emotional range due to the constant feelings of hatred overlaying all other emotions.
✄ Hatred applying even to those the being enjoys spending time with or even loves/cares for.
✎ Uncontrolled dissociation & derealization.
✄ Feeling as though one's only defining personality trait is one's hatred and/or anger (etc).
✎ Pervasive feelings of emptiness or “void-like” nothingness when not feeling hatred, anger, frustration, or disgust (etc.) at some level.
✄ Distress over not being able to feel many, or any, other emotions.
✎ Exhaustion from high adrenaline states, emotional overspending, masking one’s hatred, and not experiencing emotions at normal rates and levels.
⎾a term to describe a condition which is benign or neutral in nature, neither positive nor negative, and so cannot be considered a disorder or enorder.⏌
NYXORDER
Nyx-order (ex. Borderline Personality Nyxorder)
⎾a condition that a being has—and will not/cannot transition from or identify as not having—but that should not be there for some reason or another.⏌

Apocalypse-Imminent Paranoia Syndrome (AIPS) is a Medically Unrecognized Disorder characterized by a certainty (whether wavering or unwavering) that apocalypse is imminent. This can be any type of apocalypse, and in many cases the apocalypse expected will change regularly. While AIPS could appear to be a delusion-based disorder on first glance, it is ultimately rooted in anxiety/paranoia, with more extreme cases entering into delusions or magical thinking.
KNOWN SYMPTOMS ARE:
✎ Certainty that an apocalypse will arrive sometime soon, for an amount of time equal or greater to six months.
✄ compulsively finding or seeking patterns that confirm their presumptions.
✎ moments of clarity during non-stressful life-stages, wherein there is a direct or semi-direct link between stress (or lack thereof) and presence of paranoid thoughts and behaviors.
eg. everything is going well in the patient’s life = no paranoia ; major trauma or upset happens = sudden increase in paranoia.
✄ preparing for an initial fall of society at every turn.
✎ compulsively creating escape plans from any and all enclosed or crowded space.
✄ awareness, at least at times, that their actions/behaviors are illogical or not grounded in reality. Lack of paranoia is not required during these moments of clarity.
✎ isolating oneself or only associating with those one would trust in a survival scenario.
✄ learning skills and/or researching topics related to survivalism to prepare for imagined events.
✎ fantasizing about using said skills or knowledge to one’s advantage.
transparent symbols, our experience w/ AIPS, etc. below the cut :]
When we were younger we used to OBSESSIVELY plan for the apocalypse. I believe the paranoia was rooted in our abusive home and school environment, meaning we had nowhere safe to go...basically it felt like the world was ending every day anyway. We both dreaded and wished for the end of the world, because if the world ended, at least we'd be away from that place, that daily torture—one way or another. While our AIPS was ultimately trauma- and ocd-sourced, I dont believe thats how it is for all beings w/ AIPS! Also jic you were wondering, yes, we WERE an extreme case and did experience breaks from reality due to it. 😭😭😭
Finally, ill tag @mudarchive. Take your time though, no rush!
＊ Cyclical Compulsive Identity Appropriation Disorder is a disorder in which those with it feel the compulsive need to appropriate, i.e. become, the identities of those they admire, care for, and/or desire to be like. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to resist these compulsions.
＊ The name for the being who has been the subject of Binding or Doppeling is called the “Object of Desire” (OoD) or “Desired Person” (DP). A person with CCAID can be called a “Channel” for short. (This is a reference to both TV channels, which change programmes frequently, and to ‘channeling,’ a spiritual practice in which one acts as a medium for an extranormal, often divine, presence.)
﹡ This disorder is often comorbid with Borderline Personality Disorder or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but can be related to or caused by a number of others as well. It can also be present on its own.
＊ There are 3 forms of CCIAD, Type B (Binding), Type D (Doppel), and Type C (Combined):
＊Binding denotes a tendency to merge with the person they are appropriating from. This is usually only present within a system, though could still happen between two headspaces if they were to hop from one mind to another. This type will, in the most literal sense, become their DP, forgoing all of their opinions, thoughts, and actions unless it serves the other’s will.
＊ Doppel on the other hand, denotes a lack of combining of the two minds, the Channel simply copying their DP as closely as they can, including appearance, mentality, orientation(s), gender(s), disabilities, and anything that could make them ‘feel more like’ their DP. While they are not truly “part of them” they will still do whatever action and attempt to think the same way they believe their DP would.
＊ Combined means the existence of symptoms of both of the above types are present. That is, the Channel will both Bind with others and (either while Bound with someone or while not) Doppel others.

Blog Hoarding Disorder (BgHD) is a disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to collect blogs or blog usernames.
Reasonings behind this disorder could be (but are not limited to): identity/personality disorders or discontentment; maladaptive thoughts regarding others' perceptions of oneself; feeling one "needs" the username more than others, that one "deserves" it more, or simply "should" have it or; recurring or constant anxiety that one might "miss out on" a blog name.
There is no wrong way to use this term.
