scigender: Horrorcosmium A new xenogender (mogai) influenced by cosmic horror, coined by yours truly. “The skies are haunted by that which it were madness to know; and strange abominations pass evermore between earth and moon and athwart the galaxies. Unnamable things have come to us in alien horror and will come again.” ― Clark Ashton Smith [ BEGIN IMAGE ID: A pride flag for the xenogender horrorcosmium. It has eleven circular stripes, half of which being dark, the rest of which being a gradient from dark purple to dark blue to bright teal. Overlaid is a white image of an eye flanked by two tentacles. A version without this overlaid image follows with the same circular stripes. The last image is a simplified, horizontal seven stripe version. END IMAGE ID. ] Definition: Horrorcosmium (adj. horrorcosmic) is a xenogender influenced by or related to the genre of cosmic horror. It can not be completely described, as it has no recognizable geometry/shape. It is characterized by its difficulty to be fully known, its contents often inducing dread and confusion in those who struggle to understand it. This cosmic void induces this dread as it often causes people to look into their inner selves to attempt understanding. Note: Horrorcosmium can be used as a questioning gender for its nature of self examination and being unnamable, though that is not inherently what it is for. Often used by neurodivergent individuals (for example, alexithymia in autism making it difficult to describe mental trains of thought). -- source link
