“Hearthic

[ID: The hearthic flag. It had five stripes. From top to bottom, they are dark gray, red, purple, blue, and dark gray. There is a light gray symbol in the middle that resembles a heart with a flame inside it. End ID]

Hearthic is a way to describe your hearthome. A hearthome, as defined here is “A location, or type of location, real or otherwise, that a person has a strong emotional connection to, considering it ‘home’ despite not having been raised or spending much time there.” So for example, a foresthearthic individual would consider the forest their hearthome.

One’s hearthic identity can be a specific fictional place, a real world biome, or simply a simple description such as “cold” or “has trees”, among others. One can have multiple hearthic identities.

The hearthic flag is dark gray for a feeling of place, red for the coziness of the hearth, purple for longing, and blue for the peace the feeling of home can bring.

If you’d rather read this in a carrd, I have one here.

@epikulupu (this is technically day 9, but it got a little out of hand….). Also, @kenochoric​ you seem like someone who would appreciate this.”
