“PoserID / PoseID : “a term for desiring to be perceived as something that, for whatever reason, you are not & cannot (or do not want to) actually be. the ‘reason’ typically being: the desired identity goes against your morals / belief system / culture / etcetera.”

i consider this a subtype of PersID and, potentially, OstensID. anyone can use this term of course, though pls read my BYF if planning on following me. i personally am coining/using this in the context of Dissomei identities, but again, anyone can use it.

prefix is simply “Pose-” or “Poser-” depending on which one sounds better to you or that you prefer. “poser” is usually viewed as a negative trait, but i don’t really mind it much. i enjoy reclaiming it!

alt text IDs welcomed & needed.

alt. flag i didn’t really like. anyway, flag / color choice rambling below:

ohhh wait i like the idea of a split flag like. to kind of represent the conflict / disconnect.

idk why i went with this color combo lol i guess i wanted the poser parts (yellow) to be kind of like. silly i guess ? like kind of lighthearted even if the identity itself u want to be perceived as isnt but then it contrasts/splits with the dark black/grey to indicate like. “Realism” i guess where it disconnects with ur actual identity which realism i typically view as more gritty. and then the eye circles things r frkm the perception id flag since im basically considering this a subtype and the masks r like. self explanatory i think”
