Worldbuilding is my passion, storytelling is my song.
Hello! I'm a queer creative who happens to love making documentation and guides. However, I've mostly only used WorldAnvil for (worldbuilding) wiki-making. I've poked my head into Fandom and Wikipedia pages, but haven't done much with them. Everything else has just been personal work organized on multiple docs and spreadsheets.
I don't know a lot about editing these kinds of wikis, but I'm wanting to learn. I'll probably just be doing minor spelling/grammar fixes for now so I don't break anything.
Having a neat, organized, and accessible LGBT+ wiki is very important to me as they've helped me discover better terms to describe myself with. Knowing that others feel the specific, same way as me has greatly helped me feel less alone in my personal struggles. Knowing that there are people who accept people like me has helped me feel less "wrong" in things I can't control about myself. I want to make a world where differences are normalized, so people can freely explore themselves and live their best lives without fear.
I absolutely love to categorize things, so I've always been interested in learning different terms. Even back when I thought I was allocishet, I would get lost on the original Fandom wiki, exploring ideas for characters I didn't know I was projecting onto at the time. I wouldn't have been able to start my journey of self-exploration without that wiki, and now I want to help its most recent successor grow to its full potential.
I have a carrd and a pronouns.cc page. Feel free to check them out.
Identity
I'm a 19-yro American artist, worldbuilder, character creator, species designer, and writer. Sometimes I like to do a tiny bit of web design, too. I'm a crazy cat dad with a special interest in dragons and monsters. I'm currently fixating on My Hero Academia, but I'm also really interested in Rain World right now.
Below are the MOGAI-related terms I identify with, followed by my personal definition I apply to myself. These definitions may not completely align with the definitions on the wiki, or with definitions someone else uses. These are my own experiences in my own words.
Gender
- Man - I'm a man. The correct pronouns (he/him) and words (masculine) to use when referring to me are associated with men. I also use xe/xem pronouns. :)
- Transgender - My gender does not match the gender assigned to me at birth. I was not raised in the same way as cisgendered people of my gender.
- Agiaspec - I'm (probably) somewhere on the genderless spectrum. I used to identify as librafeminine and then agender as I felt very disconnected with my AGAB, but didn't want to admit my masculinity. When my egg finally cracked, I went full in to get that rush of euphoria. Now that I've settled a bit, I'm noticing that I have a minor connection to "being a man" despite wanting others to see me in a way that leads them to use words associated with men when referring to me. I've never felt any connection to other terms (besides agiaspec terms), so I'm not really sure. I don't think I really understand gender like most other people do.
Attraction
- Omnisexual - Gender doesn't really affect my attraction much. I don't identify as pan because I do have a preference when it comes to gender expression.
- Abrosexual - Although I can potentially find any form of gender expression attractive, my preference for it shifts.
- Graysexual - I'm not sure what aspec term describes me yet, besides aspec. I'm not sure if I'll ever settle on one over graysexual.
- Aromantic - I'm unable to feel romantic attraction.
- Aegoromantic - I like the concept of romance, but I don't have a desire to partake in it.
- Queerplatonic - I want a relationship with the same level of closeness expected of a lifelong romance, but without romance. I want something "more" than friendship, but not in a romantic or sibling sort of way.
Other
- Queer - My experience with my identity is different than what is typically expected in my culture. Even if I was cisgender or heterosexual or alloromantic, I would still find myself experiencing those parts of me in a queer way.
- Monoflexible - I would prefer to be in an exclusive, monogamous relationship with just one partner, but I'm willing to explore more options.
