Accidentally just deleted all asks to this blog oops.

Was just trying to clear my main inbox and wiped literally everything from every blog

oops

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

what goes into being a mod? /genq (<-possibly interested maybe?)

I really should open up mod apps, shouldn't I?

I'm sorry I've been neglecting this, everyone. It just got overwhelming and all my other mods disappeared into the ether.

Mod jobs would be things like:

Help find and make/upscale flags

Help organize the Deviantart and MEGA folder

Answer asks (there's so many oops)

Work with requesters to create new flags. Or work on simplifying flags with copyrighted images/photos on them

Work on flag requests

Post flags on the Deviantart and pride-color-schemes

Delete troll comments/asks and block anyone causing problems

??? probably some other stuff

Not necessary to be able to do all of these things. Just help in some areas would be great!

To apply as an "official" tumblr mod or deviantart uploader, we'd have to vet you since it's very hard to remove people from the tumblr/DA. Discord helpers we won't have to be as thorough with.

Some requirements:

No general bigotry obviously: No racism/misogyny/queerphobia/ableism/classism/anti-kin/anti-kink/etc

Pro Palestine, anti-genocide

Supportive of all queer/mogai identities including: bi lesbians, neurogenders, kingenders, multiple genders, conflicting genders/orientations, a-spectrum

18+ and good conflict resolution skills

For tumblr/discord mods have an extensive blog presence we can look through to vibe check

Idk just don't be an exclusionary bigoted jerk who's hard to talk to

Why has the Sibling blog (pride-color-schemes) and The DeviantArt Stopped Updating since 2021

All the mods have burnout :(

I've been meaning to look for new mods so if anyone here wants to help out send us a message and we'll check you out!

nvm i saw it on your deviantart sorry bout that ^^;

did you also make the cadensgender flag without the symbol? ive been seeing it on wikis but havent found an og post for it

Nope! I only posted the one with the symbol.

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

for these flags (https://www.tumblr.com/pride-color-schemes/146934470248/polymonoflux?source=share) should i credit the flag creation to funcatty or funcatty and you? and for credit for the term creation, would you rather be tagged directly or have the @/ thing?

also was polymonoflux coined that same day or earlier?

I don't even remember if I had any part of it so you can just credit funcatty. The term was coined around that time, within a few days of the flag creation.

You can use @ !

Thanks :)

I think i sent this ask to the wrong blog sorry; but do you have a abrorose flag? Ive searched tumblr pinterest and now even reddit along with 2 different search engines and ive never found anything

I don't think so, sorry!

-Hermy

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

hey, i was adding a flag you created to a wiki (speaking of, is that ok?) and i didn’t know how to credit you—would you prefer to go by Pride-Flags (deviantart) or this blog’s name or something else? i’ve seen other flags under either name so i was unsure.

Yeah they're free to post anywhere. Just make sure it's actually by one of us first haha. the deviantart or both is good for credit

to further drive home a point made in another post that i reblogged earlier: mocking gay men & people who use the blue and green gay man flag by calling it the "toothpaste" flag and acting like this is a tumblr exclusive thing makes you look ridiculous. this is not a case of a flag for an obscure gender identity that only exists on this website:

this absolutely floods the search results on google because guess what: this is the flag for gay men. this is not something you can just ignore and act like it's not a legitimate thing. i'm not saying that this is a good thing, but for fuck's sake, there are gay man flags being sold on amazon. there is literally a wikipedia entry for the flag. this is a legitimate flag that you need to accept that people are allowed to proudly fly.

i don't care if you think it's ugly. it's not about the appearance and you know it isn't. this is about punching down on queer men and we've had enough of it. it's sad and it makes anyone denying gay men the right to use this flag look like an absolute fucking idiot. like seriously, if you mock gays who use this flag, you look like an absolute fucking dumbass. wake the fuck up, look at the world around you. gay men all across the globe have adopted this flag.

listen to us instead of speaking for us for once, for fuck's sake. i get it that it's become trendy in recent years to hate all queer men, and especially to be homophobic toward gay men- i'm looking at every single person who even ironically identifies as 'twinkphobic'. we're not stupid, that shit isn't remotely funny. if a gay man called themselves femmephobic or butchphobic you'd lose your absolute goddamn fucking mind. this shit isn't subtle anymore. this is overt homophobia. you better get the fuck out of our way, because we're not going anywhere. stand with us, let us choose the symbols that represent us, or get the fuck out. i'm proudly flying the gay flag until i die.

So there's a thing where a bunch of countries have national variants of the rainbow pride flag, right?

Like, they'll combine their nation's flag (or some national symbol) with the rainbow stripes. The Brazilian one haunts me to this day but that's a long story. They're usually done in a quite lazy manner, cause it's not really something you can do super well and not many people try.

But I have just found one that is lazier than the rest! Are you ready to see it?

WITNESS THE LGBT PRIDE FLAG OF THE NETHERLANDS!

happy pride month from sápmi! ❤️💚💛💙 I want to show you the sámi pride flag, it’s a rainbow version of the sámi flag (bottom left picture) and I think it’s really beautiful

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

Did you quit? It’s been 2 months since you posted/reblogged anything. (no pressure)

We removed a mod and as usual I've had no spoons for this. I definitely need to add more mods but am not sure how to go about it.

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

it is my hope and dream that everyone on tumblr can go outside and visit a gay bar or go to a queer event and see that our community is very beautiful and very diverse and that half the internet discourse isn’t real

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

Hihii, i plan on using your achillean flag redesign to make some stickers i drew myself (besides the flag, obviously). currently i put any earnings i get from art commissions/orders towards medical and other bills, and i was wondering if you would accept credit wherever i sell them, and a small cut after i pay my bills. if not i would completely understand, i just ask i may distribute them for free instead. please let me know as soon as you can, thank you :).

Of course! No payment needed if it's for medical bills but credit is nice!

I still think it's really funny that the "toothpaste"/"listerine" flag I (partially?) made back in 2016 based off an anon's suggestion took off and had so much discourse over it. Because I literally had NO idea about it until years later when I stumbled upon it randomly (iirc) because nobody said anything to my face about it ever. Even now I don't think anyone has said anything to me outside of direct responses of posts I made about it.

Like there's literally everyone across every spectrum of everything either loving or hating the flag for completely different reasons, some of which aren't even remotely true. But somehow it almost never reached me.

I'm just here playing in my mud pit trying to help people make and find flags and terms that make them happy while there's a whole war raging over (at least) one of them around the corner.

Anyway, I got burned out a while ago from making flags because people kept making like 100000 a day with photos and copyrighted images on them and I couldn't keep up so I don't know all the flags the youth are using anymore.

Anyway I just wanted to reiterate that I'm NOT a truscum. One of them took the flag and reuploaded it stating it was the "official" gay man flag and I guess that's when it exploded and people just assumed they made it?

I also still 100% support non-dysphoric/transitioning trans people, bi/pan lesbians/gay men, anyone with "weird" or "contradictory" labels, people with 500 genders or 0 genders or -62 genders, you can detransition, retransition, LMNOP-transition, you can change your sex but not your gender, you can reclaim your slurs, you can do whatever you want forever, just don't be an ass and for the love of cats stop making overly complex flags, they're supposed to be simple for a reason!

[5 images: The 5 striped red, light red, white, pink, light pink lesbian flag with a simplified lipstick image with the trans flag on it. 2nd image is the same but the two pink stripes are switched. 3rd and 4th are the first 2 without the lipstick. 5th is just the lipstick image]

Hiii, I’m a trans lesbian femme who came out when the lipstick lesbian flag was popular, it was the first meaningful symbol I had and it honestly still means a lot to me. I don’t like how it and it’s colors (pink red and white) are now basically synonymous with bigots and I seriously think our community shouldn’t let them have symbols which were meaningful to so many of us and which I still many (including me) lamenting the loss of. So here are my redesigns and MY lipstick lesbian symbol! The first design totally reworks the order of the colors and makes it really distinct from it’s original version. I’m also just a huge fan of red pink and white gradients (valentines day vibes) but I did make a version with a white middle stripe for people like me who wanna use it next to the trans flag! the symbol is optional and you can move it around or resize it wherever you want! I really hope this can comfort other trans people. I know I was hurt by finding out the original creator was both transphobic, butchphobic, and racist (I’m mixed asian so it was a real “oof” moment) but I’m also honestly kinda hurt by how I’ve never seen anyone try to reclaim it or remix it in spite of the creator and the bigots who are now given free-reign with it. Anyways I waive my rights to this design and I would love if other lesbians, trans people, and femmes who aren’t bigoted would adopt it or at least consider boosting it! Going anon b/c I’m sure this will piss off bigots who think they somehow own the term and the colors. https://imgur.com/a/uVtqWV8 (hi mods, i’m sorry i had to send these in an imgur link but tumblr won’t let me send you everything in one post. could you pretty please put them into the post for me? I’m so sorry >>)
