'''Canaric''' is an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] in which one's gender is connected or related to the metaphor of a canary in a coal mine. The gender feels like it’s trapped, like it’s a bad omen and it’s meant to warn others but will never survive itself. It sings to try to comfort or soothe people it feels close too, even in the darkness.

The "canary" might be afraid of what’s coming, it might wish to escape and be free, or it might find pride and purpose in being the first to go in and saving people. They aren’t the one who’s going to make it out alive though, since they’re the canary, never the miner.

'''Canarin''' means canaric-in-nature, '''canarine''' is the equivalent of [[feminine]]/[[masculine]]/[[androgyny]], '''canary''' is the equivilant of [[man]]/[[woman]], '''nestling''' is the equivalent of [[boy]]/[[girl]], and '''canarynes''' is the term for genders under the canaric umbrella.<ref name=":1" />

== Common Definitions ==
{{Quote|A gender umbrella related to the metaphor of a canary in a coal mine. It feels trapped, like a bad omen meant to warn others of danger but never survive itself. It sings songs to soothe the hearts of the ones it holds dear, even when engulfed in the darkness. Maybe the canary is afraid of its fate, maybe it wants to escape the mine and be free. Or maybe it finds purpose in being the first to go when danger arrives, priding itself on saving people over and over again.

You’re always the canary, never the miner. You’re not the one who’s going to make it out of this alive.|cherrymogai|November 30th, 2024 <ref name=":1"> https://cherrymogai.tumblr.com/post/768625368696586241/canaric </ref>}}
