Definitions

 * DEATHCUTE — a xenogender that feels like death, darkness, horror, and monsters – but in a wholesome way that is also endearing, comforting, beautiful, and whimsical. “Scary” things feel like *home*. A momento mori might be reassuring bc in death you also see beauty and rebirth. This gender feels like spectral horrors and eldritch abominations who are lovable and good for your soul. It’s like when you look into the eternal abyss and you’re overcome with emotion… bc you realize it’s made out of the same hellfire as you. - deathcute-elfxen, 2020
