Seramancer

Personally, I think Seramancers hit the jackpot with Trespasser.

I'm a chronic Seramancer but I love to see love for Blackwall.

also as a seramancer I must tell you to romance sera for she is the best

enemies-to-friends-to-lovers

I wanted more time for the two together, especially more witty barbs, since I revel in an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers trope.

2020 January 29, Nathalie Graham, “Sweet As Vanilla Ice Cream”, in The Stranger, page 29:

The connection between Emma and Regina goes beyond one of the Saviour against the Villain, though the trope of enemies to friends to lovers played a big part of the initial interest in their interactions.

2022, Victoria Mello Veríssimo da Fonseca, "Fanfiction as a Literary Text: A Narratological Study of Fanfiction Writing", paper submitted to the Universidad Federal de Río Grande del Sur, page 36

The movie's plot is the epitome of the enemies to friends to lovers trope.

2023, Megan Freedman, "How When Harry Met Sally... remains a timeless romcom", The Medium (University of Toronto Mississauga), 13 February 2023, page 12

(often attributive) A trope in romance fiction (particularly fan fiction) involving the development of a rivalry into friendship and eventually romantic love.


friends-to-lovers

When I started the Mafia Moguls series, I knew I wanted a friends-to-lovers trope—one of my absolute favorite storylines.

2016, Jules Bennett, From Friend to Fake Fiancé, page 2:

Between the classic friends-to-lovers trope, incredible dialogue, and undeniable chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, this is one film that you MUST watch.

2021 February 5, Jessica Khorana, “The Top Ten RomComs To Watch On Valentine's Day”, in The Innis Herald, University of Toronto, page 11:

A sparkling, warm romance that reminds us why the friends-to-lovers trope is superior!

2022, Sarah Adams, praise blurb in Allison Ashley, Would You Rather, page 2

(often attributive) A trope in romance fiction (particularly fan fiction) involving the development of a friendship into romantic love.


Josiemance

I believe you're correct, no sex scene. It's been awhile since I've played Josiemance.

Runner up is the Josiemance because again there's more going on than it looks, plus respect and caring!

Currently replaying in preparation for DAD, and the Josiemance is still as lovely as I remember.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Josephine romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


enemies-to-lovers

“And for everyone rooting for this little enemies-to-lovers tale...”

2013, Maisey Yates, The Couple Who Fooled the World, Mills & Boon, page 42:

I know that she never falls asleep before 2 a.m. and her favourite fanfic trope is enemies-to-lovers and she’s secretly a fan of Ariana Grande.

2018, Alice Oseman, I Was Born for This, unnumbered page:

And that’s because Go Hex Yourself is a romantic masterpiece, and the sexiest, most bewitching take on enemies-to-lovers I’ve read in ages.

2023, Ali Hazelwood, praise blurb in Jessica Clare, What the Hex, page 1

When I read a book now, I think I'm much more trope-aware, because before I read fanfiction, I don't even think I fully understood what tropes were. So now I see, like, when a book has enemies-to-lovers, I see it, and I'm like, oh-oh.

2023, Tara, quoted Fabienne Silberstein-Bamford, "The 'Fanfic Lens': Fan Writing's Impact on Media Consumption", Volume 19, Issue 2, March 2023, page 156

(often attributive) A trope in romance fiction (particularly fan fiction) involving the development of an antagonistic relationship into romantic love.


Josiemancer

I hate it too. Josiemancers got the short end of the stick in this DLC.

I'm a chronic Josiemancer. Josie was my first Dragon age romance so I always have a big soft spot for her character and her romance.

I am a diehard Josiemancer, but the fact that there is no approval system for the advisors is a miss.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Josephine Montilyet during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.


isolationship

The social isolate, whether male or female, is usually a poor risk. All big cities produce, and attract, such individuals and the dynamics of their isolationship are usually multiple.

1967, “Psycholytic Therapy”, in w:Harold A[lexander] Abramson, editor, The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy and Alcoholism, Indianapolis, I.N. […]: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc., page 136:

Just think how relatively lucky we are now. For starters, our magic-wand phones let us message or speak to anyone anywhere on Earth when we're tired of our isolationship.

2021 January 30, Josh Freed, “Josh Freed: Every era has its own pandemic blessings”, in Montreal Gazette, Montreal, Que.: Postmedia Network Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-01-18:

autozoophilia

From auto- (“reflexive, regarding or to oneself”) + zoophilia (“the human sexual attraction to non-human animals”). Coined in 2009 by the American psychologist, sexologist and physician Anne Lawrence.

prefix

Species dysphoria in zoophilic men can be understood as an outgrowth of autozoophilia, just as gender dysphoria in gynephilic men can be understood as an outgrowth of autogynephilia.

2009 April 5, Anne A. Lawrence, “Erotic Target Location Errors: An Underappreciated Paraphilic Dimension”, in Journal of Sex Research, volume 46, numbers 2–3, Routledge; Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, →DOI:

Real animals share some physical similarity with anthropomorphic animals, suggesting that some male furries may additionally experience both sexual attraction to real animals (zoophilia) and sexual arousal by the fantasy of being a real animal (autozoophilia), if they are motivated by an ETII.

2019 July 5, KJ Hsu, JM Bailey, “The "Furry" Phenomenon: Characterizing Sexual Orientation, Sexual Motivation, and Erotic Target Identity Inversions in Male Furries”, in Archives of Sexual Behavior, volume 48, number 5, International Academy of Sex Research:

Pup play is a form of autozoophilia wherein participants engage in activities, manners, and behaviors akin to canines.

2024, Roger Kuhn, Somacultural Liberation: An Indigenous, Two-Spirit Somatic Guide to Integrating Cultural Experiences Toward Freedom, North Atlantic Books, →ISBN, page 159:

(sexology, formal) Synonym of pet play (“a fetish activity in which one takes on the role of an animal, sometimes as the pet of another”).


autoplushophilia

From auto- (“reflexive, regarding or to oneself”) + plushophilia (“the sexual attraction to plush toys”), from plush (“a plush toy”, noun) + -o- (“a linking vowel inserted interconsonantally between two morphemes to ease pronunciation without contributing to the word's meaning”) + -philia (“abnormal love of something”).
Coined in 2009 by the American psychologist, sexologist and physician Anne Lawrence.

affix

Formal study will be necessary to clarify the nature, prevalence, and interrelations of plushophilia, fursuitism, and autoplushophilia among furverts and to document the nature and extent of any co-occurring paraphilias.

'Gareth Craven. Likes to do things with dogs.' 'A zoophiliac.' 'They've got a name for it?' 'Everything's got a name. Necrophilia.' 'Dead people.' 'Autoplushophilia.' 'Auto-what?'

2018 November 5, Mark Griffin, When Darkness Calls, Little, Brown Book Group, →ISBN, unnumbered page:

Just like autoplushophilia does not always tie into the furry fandom, not all folx with this paraphilia are interested in being furries. As well, despite autoplushophiliacs often emulating plush animals in their role-plays, it does not mean that they are interested in bestiality (sexual encounters with live animals). In fact, it’s the plush aspect that is arousing to them.

2021 May 14, “Fetish Friday: Autoplushophilia”, in Between the Thighs:

(sexology, very rare) The sexual attraction to envisioning oneself as a plush toy.

pro-shitter

pro-shitters after saying blatantly transphobic and ableist bullshit to "le epically own the antis trolololol" /nbh

Pro-shitters will be like “listen to Chinese people and try to see things from a Chinese cultural perspective for once!! 🤬” when it comes to defending incest, but not when a character is blatantly lesbian-coded.

2023 July 27, Adrian A. Stone, anonymous quotee, The Antagonistic Anatomy of Anti-shippers: A Thematic Analysis (master's thesis), New York, N.Y.: John Jay College of Criminal Justice, archived from the original on 2024-04-21:

Using thematic analysis, a research team consisting of both systems and singlets (one person living in a body) developed five overarching themes at the intersection of transgender identity and plurality. These include embodiment, communication processes, affirming intersectional identities, living in a pluralphobic and transphobic society, and living authentically.

2023 December, Susan C. Turell, Christopher Wolf-Gould, Sana Flynn, Silver Mckie, Matthew A. Adan, The Redwoods, “It's just a body: A community-based participatory exploration of the experiences and health care needs for transgender plural people” (article number 100354), in European Journal of Trauma & Dissociation, volume 7, number 4, →DOI, page 1:

hyperfur

I thought I'd get the ball rolling here on some discussions for RPs; I have one idea in particular I'd like to share. One of the most common hyperfur tropes is the farm setting, but you can't exactly make such a setting feel genuine when you have many people joining at once, and continuing to join as it continues.

2007 December 28, Orbital S, “Brainstorming”, in HyperFurs Messageboard, archived from the original on 2009-05-10:

(in the plural) A paraphilia involving furries with highly exaggerated body parts.
