Repulhypersexy
[PT: Repulhypersexy /END PT]
An asexual label for asexuals that are hypersexual and repulsed(apothisexual) at the same time, it can be difficult to understand your sexuality for that reason. The person might have sexual attraction only to kinks, and repulsed for everything else, can feel disgust and strong attraction at the same time, etc.
This label is for every repulsed hypersexual, not only by trauma but due bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia etc.

Alternative Greysexual Flag
More info below the cut.
I've identified as greysexual off and on. I'm not asexual, but I'm not necessarily allosexual either, though I relate to aspects of both asexuality and allosexuality. I'm still debating whether the term "greysexual" is right for me, or whether I should just leave the "how" of my sexuality neutral/unlabeled, but I feel like greysexual is applicable.
Edit: I've decided that I'm primarily sticking with neu aro, but I'm greysexual if it's brought up. I resonate with greysexuality in a "not asexual, but not necessarily allosexual either" way. I engage with and relate to both communities, but neither feels entirely right. If I were forced to place myself into an ace-allosexual binary for whatever reason, I'd go with allosexual, but greysexual feels most accurate. My sexuality exists in its own grey area. As for which spectra I fall under, I'd say greysexual-spec first, allosexual-spec second, and ace-spec last. Preferably just neu aro though.
I like the common greysexual flag, but I feel like it represents a very specific version of greysexuality. Purple represents asexuality, grey represents a transition between asexuality and allosexuality, and white represents allosexuality. The flag conveys the experience of being asexual, then experiencing brief allosexuality, then going back to asexuality once again. I wanted to make something that felt more broad, and better encompassing of different greysexual experiences, including my own.
So, here's what I made:
Stripes get thinner towards the center to represent how it can be difficult to pin point where one falls on this spectrum, and how identities/experiences can blur together. You can think of this as a flag in which the stripes overlapped so much that they started to take up the same space.
The stripes are desaturated, representing greysexuality and the various "shades of grey" in the greysexual spectrum. This desaturation can also convey a sense of fuzziness, unclearness, or blurriness that some greysexuals experience.
Purple represents asexuality, and red/pink represents allosexuality. Some stripes are tinted with purple or red/pink to represent greysexual people who identify as ace-spec and/or allo-spec, respectively. Other stripes have no tint, representing greysexual people who identify as neither ace-spec nor allo-spec. The placement of these colors is not important to the symbolism; greysexuality is not a clean line from ace to allo.
I don't really expect people to use this flag, but you're welcome to if you wish! It's public domain, and credit is not needed.

Someone asked me recently why I liked Our Flag Means Death so much (read: hyperfixated).
Because the crew in the show represents the community i yearn for, where I am accepted for who I am and am not judged at all. Where there are open arms and smiles and laughter and no one is left out. Where the poorly-behaved asshole is given a chance for redemption and granted forgiveness.
Even the actors IRL give the impression they're a loving family to each other.
I love this show because it represents what I want and, for a little while during each episode, I can imagine that it includes me too.
I am genderfluid, gray-ace, in my 40's, and have a hard time hanging on to friends. I also have a nasty tendency to turn into a loud-mouthed jerk with no filter and use expletives like commas (any guesses to who my favorite OFMD pirate is?). I'm a writer that writes fanfics as a way to test ideas for what will become more unfinished original works. None of these things are easily accepted by those currently around me (including, unfortunately, my own partner).
But I feel like this is my community. The fellow fans that bond with me and a cast that makes me feel a little seen and accepted, even if I will never meet them.
I love this show because it shows me that what I want is out there, even if it is not mine. And thru fanfiction, fellow fans, and the various groups surrounding them, I can maybe reach just a little of what I need.
The word hiraeth means a longing for something you never had or never existed. It's the best word I can find for this.
Sorry for rambling and being odd (and probably psycho-creepy). Just feeling melancholy today.

I made my own version of the grey aro and grey ace flags cause I don't like the original.
I softened the colors to make it look more GREY and I'm happy with them. I think they're nice on the eyes :)
feel free to use, no credit needed
