Name(s) and Definition(s)

Pestava is an Affectagender, Drogegender, Feeligender, Intangigender, Jewellegender, Locatiogender, Musicagender, Locatiogender, and Vestitigender in the Atmosfear System defined as "A gender related to the song “Party all the Time” by Eddie Murphy, clubs, the club scene (especially in the 80s), a fusion between disco and synth-pop music, pulsing music and lights, and drug usage. It’s related to purple, magenta, and cool-ish toned pink lights and a room bathed in them. It has connections to general glitter, body glitter, sparkles, flashy jewelry, and bejeweled clothes.

It feels like the personification of a sense of dread that’s mostly overtaken by hazy euphoria, and a strange sense of almost fulfilled emptiness. It’s related to the drug culture of the 60s, 70s, and somewhat the early 80s, as well as acid/LSD, shrooms, and MDMA/ecstasy/molly.

It’s related to hybrid (Sativa + Indica) weed that has a strange effect that fluctuates between numbing and energizing, creating a strange, unknown emotion in-between and a strange combination of the two, that somehow isn’t a mid point between the two. It’s also related to those emotions, effects, and fluctuations.

This gender feels related to heartbreak and trying to drown your sorrows using substances, partying and/or clubbing, and promiscuity; the feeling of brokenness being drowned out by constant stimulation and being surrounded by people, with a lot of them trying to get with you.

It feels like shoving aside your negative emotions, emptiness, etc. and replacing it with the feeling of numb euphoria. It also feels like watching everything around you distort and fade away, with none of the people around you noticing as you’re unable to call out for someone, leaving you lonely as you feel your conscience fade away.

It’s also related to the fear of dying young, overdosing, and possibly dying young from an overdose."¹
