		- Es gab vielleicht mal eine Parade in einem anderen Land, die von einem solchen General organisiert wurde

Incestsexuality

### Exclusitivity

Any gender, can be attracted to any gender as long as the person is related to them

### Coining date

March 7, 2022

**Incеstsexuality** is a sexuality in which a person is romantically and/or sexually attracted to their own family members. It is one of the most stigmatized MOGAI identities, even on MOGAI-related wikis. Incestsexuals may be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or any of the millions of other sexual orientations.

## Etymology

The terms "incеstsexual" and "incеstromantic" were coined by DeviantArt user LeaderofWokeness1312 (same username on FANDOM), who is incestsexual and in a relationship with both xir sibling and hir cousin, on March 7, 2022.

## Flag

LeaderofWokeness1312 created the pride flag used on this page. It also created a variant for incеstsexual/romantic people who are Neurodivergent and woke, which can also be found on xir DeviantArt profile. The flag's background colors are of DNA, symbolizing the partners' relation to each other, and the heart represents their love for each other.

Episode 15: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

***Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*** is the 15th episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on February 10, 2019, and is the first episode of the second season.

## Episode description

*We're black and backer than EVER! (nailed it!)*

*It's 2019 and Black N Animated is back with a fresh new episode! We watch the award winning film Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse discussing story elements, aesthetic, and theme. If you haven't seen it yet, PLEASE DO, because spoilers abound. Or just listen to the episode and find out why we love and or dislove the film so much.*

## Highlights

Bre and Way start talking about the film's plot and positive aspects, such as its aesthetics and unique animation style. They also praise the voice casting and a theme of believing in oneself. The second section begins with a feeling that something is missing and discussing dislikes and imperfections. They then focus on a particular scene that captures a theme of teen anxiety and taking a leap of faith, but also discuss problems with the character of Penny Parker. They end with a comparison to *Big Hero 6* and ensemble cast development. The final section is a podcast discussion where they praise the aesthetic, plot, and writing and bring up themes such as coming of age, believing in oneself, and family relationships. They also touch on the portrayal of gun violence in Black communities, Easter eggs in the movie, reactions to certain characters, and Stan Lee's cameo.

Porngender

**Porngender** is a xenogender that is connected to watching, reading or starring in pornography, or where a person's gender and/or the level of how much they feel their gender changes while they are watching, reading or starring in pornography.

## Etymology

The term was coined and the flag created by DeviantArt user LeaderofWokeness1312 on July 10, 2022. The flag's pink stripe and the "XXX" stand for pornography, red for love and sexual arousal, and white for masturbation.
Berrian Adynore

Berrian "Berry" Adynore ist ein Spielercharakter aus Magnus 1. Berrian ist ein reisender Barde und Trickbetrüger, der sich öfters Scherze mit dem Adel und der reichen Bevölkerungsschicht erlaubt. Schloss sich kurz vor den Ereignissen von Magnus 1 Cyra Winkler an.

## Aussehen

Berry besitzt eine recht schmale, aber muskulöse Gestalt. Mit seinen 1,78m fällt er nicht allzu sehr auf, deswegen machte er es sich wohl zur Aufgabe, seine Kleidung umso extravaganter und auffälliger zu machen. Seine bordeaux-farbene Weste ist verziert mit allerlei feinen Stickereien in Schwarz und Gold, gepaart ist diese mit einem hellrosa Tuch um die Hüfte und hohen Lederstiefeln, sowie Armschienen. Die beige-farbenen Haare ließ er lang wachsen, verziert mit diversen geflochtenen Zöpfen; einen Teil davon steckte er hoch, als diese ihm fast bis zur Hüfte reichten.

Zu Zeiten von Magnus 2 trägt er fein verzierte Gewänder, die ihn als Mitglied des Elfenrates kennzeichnen. Zudem trägt er eine einseitige Schärpe mit dem Symbol Tirions. Nun mit seinem neuen Amt trägt er die Haare schulterlang und meist zurückgebunden. Passend dazu trägt er zumeist einen gepflegten Bart, der ihn älter erscheinen lässt.

## Charakter

Durch seinen Aufenthalt im Reich der Fey übernahm Berrian viele ihrer Tricks und lernte mit ihrer gerissenen Art umzugehen. Vieles davon nutzte er bei Auftritten an diversen Adelshäusern, um an ihre Reichtümer oder auch ihre Frauen zu gelangen. Viele würden wohl behaupten er sei ein einfältiger Tu-Nicht-Gut mit einem Ego größer als Rovataria selbst.

Mysteriöse Apparatur

Der Apparat, als vereinfachte Darstellung

Die Mysteriöse Apparatur ist ein altes Relikt in der Welt von Magnus, dass auf Umwegen in Kronenburg in den Laden für magische Antiquitäten gekommen ist.

## Beschreibung

Es strahlt eine geringe Menge Magie aus und ist unzerstörbar.

## Funktionsweise

Es schwebt leicht über dem Boden und seine Ringe sind dauerhaft in Bewegung.

Sein genauer Nutzen ist nicht bekannt.

## Geschichte

Um das Jahr 670 wurde es von einem Abenteurer im Krater entdeckt.

Seitdem hat es oft den Besitzer gewechselt, die versuchten, seinem Nutzen auf die Spur zu kommen. Doch letztlich kehrte es immer wieder in den offenen Verkauf zurück, da niemand das Rätsel lösen konnte.

Episode 10: Princess and the Frog

**Princess and the Frog** is the 10th episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on August 12, 2018.

## Episode description

*Hey howdy hey folks. Episode 10 is here!*

*A little late but we're dropping a new BW or BW whatever you like episode for you. This week we discuss the wonderful Disney princess , Tiana !  Princess and the frog was a movie that was and still is so near and dear to our hearts. However, you can enjoy something immensely but still openly critique it.*

## Highlights

Bre and Way open up by joking about what the audience thinks about BNW episodes, claiming that they are just two people talking to themselves about millennials ruining animation. They dive into a brief conversation about millennials before starting the topic about the 2009 animated film *The Princess and the Frog,* but in the middle of that quickly bring up "attractive" Disney characters. Bre and Way both remember going to see it in theaters and how powerful its momentum was.

They start talking about the film's flaws, such as the most irritable: Princess Tiana being a frog for majority of the film. They go more in depth with it as well as Tiana being depicted as a hardworking Black woman, which they believe isn't too much of a bad thing, but wished it wasn't just all they showed in the movie. They compare this to other Disney Princess films, namely *Sleeping Beauty* where the protagonist was asleep for 25% of it, and the topic of the film is something they briefly tangent about with Prince Phillip being creepy.

Later they go back on the top of Tiana being presented as a frog. Going back to the previous conversation, Way makes an analogy to the White Disney Princesses and the POC ones with Trix and Kix cereal: the White princesses are represented with Trix and come in all kinds of unique colors, while the POC princesses are the plain Kix that are all the same. They specifically go into Indian representation in media. At the end, to wrap the episode, they bring up the tired bit of changing POC protagonists into animals, but despite that still call the movie good.

Fatsexuality

*Not to be confused with fartsexuality*

**Fatsexuality** is a sexual orientation characterized by romantic and/or sexual attraction to Fat folx. An example of fatsexuality is a person who is attracted to Big Beautiful Women, aka BBWs. Fatsexuals can be attracted to any of the infinite amount of genders. This sexuality is stigmatized and often called a fetish, which is partly due to fatphobia.

## Etymology

The term "fatsexuality" was coined and the flag created by DeviantArt user LeaderofWokeness1312. However, unlike the majority of MOGAI identities, this one has always existed.

### Flag

The yellow stripe is the color of body fat. The orange stripe stands for attraction to Fat women (yellow + pink), green for attraction to Fat men (yellow + blue), and dark yellow for attraction to Fat non-binary folx (yellow + black/gray).
Magnifium Krise

Die Magnifium Krise war eine Reihe von Ereignissen, welche mit dem Auftreten des Magnifium aufkamen und einige Zeit vor dem Jahr 600 begannen, bis sie in diesem ihren Höhepunkt fanden.

## Beschreibung

Als das Magnifium begann, aus den Tiefen der Welt herauszuquellen, wurden schnell dessen magische Eigenschaften bekannt. Da schon kleine Mengen davon ein gewaltiges Potential hatten, kam schnell der Wunsch nach größeren Mengen in den Völkern auf, schließlich wollte niemand am Ende mit leeren Händen dastehen.

Als sich ergab, dass die Magnifiumkonzentration in Richtung Süden deutlich größer wurde, wurde die Vermutung aufgestellt, in den verborgenen Schattenlanden könnte eine Art Quelle dieser Substanz liegen. So machten sich viele verschiedene Personen und Organisationen auf den Weg, um nach diesem Schatz zu suchen.

Ihren Höhepunkt nahmen die Ereignisse, als die Parteien in den Ruinen der Stadt Kronenburg aufeinandertrafen und in dem Kampf an dem Krater letztlich Ohms Seite die Überhand gewinnen konnte, welche dafür sorgte, dass der Rettungsanker aktiviert wurde und der das Magnifium wieder aufspaltete.

## Auswirkungen

* Zerstörung des Magnifiums.
* Freisetzen des gebundenen Aether und Rückkehr der Hürnen nach Magnus.
* Wiederentdecken der Stadt Kronenburg und aufhellen der Schattenlande.
* Öffnen des Kraters und Freisetzung der darin verborgenen Wesen und Mysterien.

## Wichtige Personen

* **Ohm:** Anführer der Kinder des Ohm und einer der überdauerten Hürnen, der seine Rasse retten wollte.
* **Rote Dame:** Feindin von Ohm, die das Magnifium nutzen wollte, um sich selbst zu einer Göttin zu erheben.
* **Eddie:** Anführer des Stammes, durch Kampf mit Ohm zerschlagen, sodass letztlich nur ein ungefährlicher Teil von ihm übrig geblieben ist.
* **Skye Ferron:** Vertreterin der Abenteurer in den Verhandlungen um das Magnifium. Außerdem war sie diejenige, die letztlich den Rettungsanker aktivierte.

## Trivia

* Da die Hürnen damit gerechnet hatte, dass eines Tages der Moment für ihre Rückkehr gekommen sein würde, stellt sich die Frage, ob das massenhafte Auftreten des Magnifiums in so kurzer Zeit, eine Manifestation von all ihren Willen gewesen sein konnte, die in diese Substanz gebunden ware.
Episode 13: Bria Jones

**Bria Jones** is the 13th episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on September 25, 2018 (a Tuesday as opposed to the traditional Sunday).

She gives us a rundown of what it's like to be someone who animates in house dispelling the notion that the actual job of animating is done and gone.*

## Highlights

Bria Jones discusses the challenges of transitioning from one animation software to another and the importance of personal preference and project needs in choosing software. She also describes her journey to becoming an animator, including attending art school and landing a job in television animation in California.

She also talks about being a production assistant at Adult Swim and working with different creative aspects of the digital department.

Episode 01: Brittney Lewis

**Brittney Lewis** is the 2nd, although true 1st episode of the Black N' Animated podcast, after the previous introductory episode *Bre and Way*. It was released on April 8, 2018.

## Episode description

*Welcome to the second episode (aka the first interview episode) with Production Coordinator Brittney Lewis! Way and Bre talk to Brittney about her journey through animation, tips for networking and finding jobs with little professional experience, and bear claws! Brittney drops a LOT of fantastic gems for people interested in working in the animation industry!*

## Highlights

Brittney Lewis, a production coordinator, explains that her passion for animation started with her favorite Saturday morning show, *The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest*, before moving onto *Sailor Moon* and *Dragon Ball Z*. She also brings up applying for a job at *Vons,* a supermarket chain based in California. Brittney was also fortunate to meet June Foray at the Animation Guild. Brittney speaks about production process and deadlines in a project, also joking that her brain is like spaghetti.

In response to her joking that food is always mentally with her, she responds that her favorite food is pizza and sweets, specifically bear claw pastries. Brittney says that she enjoys working on the creative side of productions instead of the artistry side, and would most likely prefer remaining there. After the three joke about fax machines, Brittney brings up *SketchUp* and how not many know how to use it since they aren't taught in school. When asked what she would like to see more of in animation, Brittney doesn't have a real answer but much prefers working with children's animation with good messages instead of more adult-oriented animation.

The show then proceeds to asking audience-given questions for Brittney, which delves into conversation about Black characters following a question relating to Marvel's *Black Panther (2018).* Her last words to creatives are to be yourself, be always be true to your word, and to master skills in Maya.

Episode 05: Lorraine Grate

**Lorraine Grate** is the 5th episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on June 3, 2018.

## Episode description

*'Allo friend!*

*On this episode we interview Story Artist and Illustrator Lorraine Grate! Lorraine shares with us her journey from going to school in Arkansas to landing her first gig at DTVA.*

## Highlights

Lorraine Grate begins saying that she worked for the position of P.A., but comments that she would've rather worked at art where she eventually went to. She brings up *Roman Entertainment* and working for the Nicktoons series *NFL Rush Zone,* though brings up the hardships of the show such as production having set backs due to NFL team members leaving, and she compares the show's content with current events to *South Park.* She discusses working for Disney and OddBot.

When asked how she wanted to become an animator, Lorraine replies with the "cliche" of seeing Disney movies, although admitted that she had a Christian upbringing and couldn't watch cartoons that much, only relying on cartoons on the web or Japanese anime. She delves into going to Arkansas Tech University after being dismayed by the price of taking an animation class, and talks about her language classes in Japan. After getting her graphic design degree she brings up someone she got in touch with who worked at *DreamWorks,* and seeing their animated outputs during 2010-2011, Lorraine wondered if she could do that. Lorraine, Bre, and Way talk about intuition and budgets.

Eventually, Lorraine answers that she moved to Los Angeles without saying much, as her relationship with her mom is rocky and her dad was half-and-half on her going to art school in the first place. The conversation turns over to jellyfish after Way randomly brings it up after hearing Lorraine mention something on a stream, about her getting jellyfish from a Kickstarter. She brings up the story and how they were much like Sea Monkeys, though eventually dying. Lorraine talks about displaying her work in art shows, but most times she was frequently the only Black woman who displayed them. She brings up how there was only two Black people working on *Star vs. the Forces of Evil,* with the only other guy mostly being not present, but admires how there were a couple of others as she left, then admires how the crew designed characters such as Marco. One final thing she talks about is her watercolor palette, and giving advice to viewers to believe their dreams.

Episode 02: Black N Nerdy for Anime

**Black N Nerdy for Anime** is the 2nd episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on April 22, 2018.

## Episode description

*Welcome to the second episode AND our first WB Episode! WB or BW? (Whichever floats your boat)  WB episodes are casual chat episodes that take a break away from the interviews discussing topics in animation and how they relate to black culture. On this episode we discuss anime that inspired us growing up and how it impacted our artwork. We also touch upon the unfortunate circumstance of racial stereotypes and minstrel looking characters in anime and while it may not be intentionally malicious it’s not okay to have designs that are rooted in negative characterization.  Can’t forget to bring up the boondocks as well, and how artists like Aaron Mcgruder and LeSean Thomas were part of the wave of Ameri-anime that paved the way for young black artist.*

*Thanks for listening folks!*

## Highlights

The episode starts with Bre and Way sarcastically saying that this is *The Weebcast,* a podcast dedicated to anime. When they say that this is actually *Black N' Animated* and they will be talking about anime, they jokingly claim people will get rid and close the episode out. They start talking about *Dragon Ball Z* and how popular it is amongst Black men according to one article, with them also claiming that Piccolo is canonically Black. They then delve into the type of African-American portrayals in anime, and highlight better ones, namely with *Bleach.*

The conversation derails to cosplaying when Bre mentions cosplaying as Yoruichi in high school. Way says his first cosplaying was the Red Ranger (from *Power Rangers*). Bre says the earliest she could remember was a generic *Harry Potter* inspired character. They go back about African-American portrayals typically being depicted as goofy in anime and also delve further into stereotypes. Way brings up a stereotype about Black dudes being into anime, which Bre says was quite the opposite for her growing up as she grew up in a mostly White area and was usually picked on for liking anime. Bre later goes into stories about reading a *Sailor Moon* novel book with a chapter named "Sexy DJ", that a nun eventually showed disapproval of, and her knowing a young boy that drew a Super Saiyan Goku that was thought to be "satanic". Way says that he liked shonen anime when he was younger but liked more innocent anime when he got older, such as *Potemayo*. Bre comments that she can see the influence in his work from there.

Bre then brings up *The Boondocks,* which has an inspiring impact. They discuss Black artists that draw in a similar anime style, such as Aaron McGruder and LeSean Thomas. The episode wraps up by them saying that drawing in an anime art style is not bad and point out *Powerhouse Animation Studios* who has a list of projects that share an anime resemblance, and they also say that anime is not a waste of time.

Bruce W. Smith

**Bruce Wayne Smith** is an American animator, character designer, film director and television producer.

## Biography

Bruce was born on September 6, 1961 and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. At age 10, he made his first animated film based on designs of the film *One Hundred and One Dalmatians*. Smith studied animation in the Character Animation program at the California Institute of the Arts. He later stated that while at CalArts he became aware of the lack of Black characters in animated films which motivated him to create his own animated series in 2001, *The Proud Family.* His earliest animation job was for the 1984 special *Garfield in the Rough.*

Around the initial production time of *The Proud Family,* Bruce founded his own animation studio, Jambalaya Studios, which was a subsidiary of Hyperion Pictures. The intention of the studio was to make diverse projects. However, the studio has since shut its doors.

Bruce got married to Denise Smith (nee Loupe) and allegedly have four children, although Denise divorced him in December 2021.

Episode 07: Dan Haskett

## Episode description

*Welcome to another episode of the Black N Animated Podcast! This week we interview veteran animator Dan Haskett. Dan has worked in animation for 50 years, and has work on films such as Disney's The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. He's is very kind and we hope you learn plenty from his animation journey!*

## Highlights

Dan Haskett shares how he became an animator. Afterwards there is a discussion about the decline of hand-drawn animation and the move towards computer-generated animation. The importance of diverse representation in animation is also mentioned. The conversation then shifts towards the lack of diversity in the industry, specifically the limited representation of Black women. The speakers discuss a new enterprise led by a young Black woman gathering Black women artists. Lastly, they touch on the potential of older animators to tackle more mature subject matter.

Dan talks about his 50 years of experience in the animation industry. He started his career in cartooning at a young age and was inspired by the entire history of American animation that was shown on TV during his childhood. He discussed a lunch gathering of Black animators held by Alan Wright when they were working for *Batman: The Animated Series*.

He also talks about his passion for animating, character designing, and storytelling. The third transcript talks about the speaker's education, their first job in animation on the film *Raggedy Ann and Andy*, their experience at Disney Animation, and working on various projects such as DC comics and consumer product development with Disney. Dan also mentions starting with a two-month training program at Disney Animation that included paid internships and worked under Frank Thomas and Eric Larson, who were great mentors.

Episode 12: Bebe's Kids

**Bebe's Kids** is the 12th episode of the Black N' Animated podcast. It was released on September 9, 2018.

## Episode description

*Quick note: Audio is a liiiiiiiittle bit rough this episode due to some tech issues. We apologize in advance ..sometimes technology can be silly. Thanks for your patience guys and happy listening!*

*In this episode of the podcast Bre and Way are strait-jacking as they watch the film Bebe's Kids. Directed by Bruce W. Smith and realesed in 1992 Bebe's Kids is a animated comedy that was a staple in black culture in the 90's. We discuss our experiences with the film and talk in depth about it's plot and characters.*

## Highlights

After starting the episode bringing up jambalaya, Way and Bre immediately dive into talking about the subject matter, the 1992 animated film *Bebe's Kids.* Bre admits that she always thought she made up the movie, until finding out what it was called when searching something up after just relying on VHS memories. They talk about what it's about and the origin of it coming from a Robin Harris stand up act. And of course the director behind the film: Bruce W. Smith.

They talk more about what happens in the film but cringe at when Khalil is checked when he just simply gets a drink from a water fountain by men in suits, before he even does anything bad, reminding them of the similarity of modern circumstances.
