and to update my larger following (so silly to me ^^”), i will probably get back to working on the gaybian compilation ^^

any suggestions and/or requests for terms smaller than gaybian will be worked on simultaneously/earlier because i wanna get back into it and gaybian has a lot of non-flag posts to sort through

i also need to go back and add new flags to the other compilations- i saw someone post a sapphillean flag the other day and realized i forgot that people could still do that ^^;

but yea! much more stable mentally and school-wise, especially now that college decisions are coming out

hey y’all status updatee

i’ve been scrambling the last month or so to stay on top of school work with a sudden flux of extracurricular events, but am back to a normal workload (hopefully)!!

i’m re-opening requests but still need to update my request rules to reflect more clearly what i’m comfortable making flags for (distinct flag templates where i simply choose colors)

but im back ^^ ik i probably still wont get many requests but may as well be communicative

[garden-of-flags]

thanks yall (I was kinda having a moment about it so it was very helpful to see this especially with so much agreement)

hey hey y'all

i (re)started my gaybian search, and it's brought up some questions abt what I should/shouldnt include in the post

similar terms (lesgay and velaurian, for example) are coined at separate times and I could understand people id-ing with one and not the other-- but at the same time some of the flags are made with multiple names since they have similar definitions (ex: velaurian/gaybian flag)

also some flags specify slightly different definitions, especially on whether bi is part of the identity

also also some flags are named certain things (ex: violet gaybian), which i figured i would just specify as “violet gaybian flag” instead of “alt flag” but i’m also not sure

soooo now I want feedback to make sure I do things right

tagging for reach (i feel extra nervous abt this one idk i just don’t wanna do it wrong and more people = less likely to be wrong/bad?): @daybreakthing, @isobug

status updateeee

i’ve been in a cycle of being sick and/or super busy with school stuff and college apps for the past 2-3 months, sorry abt the radio silence ^^;

recently i’ve been getting back into it, so hopefully i’ll be back to posting more regularly soon!

most of my activity will still probably be on @garden-of-flags bc that’s easier for me but i recently had a spark of motivation to coin (for once ^^;) adjective terms, so there’s a chance those will be upcoming as wellll

so uh time got away from me, oops

i am still mid gaybian post, but trying to make some shorter posts for the meantime cuz i don't wanna completely ghost (feel free to recommend some!! /nf)

i probably wont go back to the same level of posting until january (college apps are quite a bit on top of schoolwork ^^;)—but i wanna keep posting, so there may be a few sporadic posts and i’ll still check my inbox & dms (a little too often /hj)

if i do get any requests (seems unlikely but you never know), they’ll be moved to the top of my priority list (as long as they are smaller than like gaybian/aroace/etc.), and could still be completed pretty quickly since this does recharge my mood and focus ^^

idrk if any of these words made sense but ye!

i seriously appreciate every interaction from all of y’all (seeing the little notifs for likes and reblogs have improved my mood on some pretty rough days), tysm for the attention to my blog /gen

hihi y’all—slight status update?

sorry about the slight gap in posting, i’ve been dealing with some increased light sensitivity + headaches and have some college application stuff i’ve been trying to get done ^^”

i’ve slowly been working on finding gaybian flags but haven’t really spent much time on any smaller terms (currently don’t have the brain power to actually choose any ^^”) so posting might still be slow for a bit

i need to take a break from actual stuff so we’ll see if i can get a few posts queued this weekend

y’all this got so much more attention that I thought it would /pos

honestly this is just giving me an order for them since ppl did want all of them ^^”

all the motivation is very appreciated, thanks so much /gen

if any of these have any commonly grouped or opposite terms, pls lmk (reblog, ask, anything) which terms I should include!! (ex: sapphboy and achilligirl went together) — i wanna make sure i do similar terms close chronologically

trying to get motivation for terms with more flags cuz they take longer to give the gratification of posting ^^; but also free to respond with other ideas even for shorter posts (need inspo there too ^^’)!!

i feel like this won't get much attention but that’s alright ^^ (+any and all recs will eventually be attempted)
