Spirian

Spirian flag

Spirian is a sexual, romantic, and/or tertiary orientation with two definitions that is exclusive to ghostkin/spiritkin individuals or ghost/spirit headmates in systems.

The first definition is a microlabel under the otherkinian umbrella. It describes someone who is ghostkin/spiritkin and is, exclusively or not, attracted to other ghostkin/spiritkin individuals.

The second definition describes a ghost/spirit headmate in a system who is, exclusively or not, attracted to other ghost/spirit headmates.

This term can be used in a similar way as terms such as sapphic and achillean in that it could be used to describe exclusive attraction or to prioritise/highlight non-exclusive attraction.

Both definitions can be abbreviated to glg (ghost-loving-ghost) or sls (spirit-loving-spirit), and the term itself can be modified to specify the type of attraction experienced (spirisexual, spiriromantic, spirisensual, spiriplatonic, etc)

History & Coining[]

The term spirian was coined on July 28th, 2021, by Discord user thenelsonsystem#0156 (FANDOM user TheNelsonSystem), specifically Ghostbur from their system.

Flag[]

The spirian flag was made by the same user on the same day. Light gray represents the connection to being a ghost/spirit, the dark blue represents the possible attraction to others, the dark purple represents the possible exclusivity of attraction, and the dark gray represents spirit-loving-spirit attraction as a whole.
