more revamps of old terms and flags of mine! i both didn’t fully express the definition of the terms and didn’t like my flags, so i wanted to refresh them.

the flags use the top stripe of the recipro- flags to represent the fabricated attraction, white/grey/black to represent the grey areas of these orientations and the confusion they cause, and the bottom stripe (or two stripes) represents the actual lack of attraction being experienced.

the prefix ‘lusi-’ is a reference to the word ‘illusion’, since the attraction a lusi- person believes they feel is not real. also, for me, the experience of this term is inherently linked to my anxiety, but i decided to leave mentions of mental health out of the definitions because i don’t feel that these should be exclusive to mentally ill or neurodivergent people.
