What is this?
[PT: What is this?].
Hi, @cakeqai is a blog modded by Stardrop Multiversum (@acronym-chaos) and Puff (@dragonpride17) that holds a so called "LIOMOQAI Calendar", which is a year-long non-ending "event" initiative in which we, the mod of the blog, host "Gift Days" for other members of the LIOMOQAI community, during which we coin and encourage others to coin gifts for them.
To put it in simpler words: on this blog, you can "apply" for any day of the year which will be put on the Calendar as your "Gift Day". During that day we will coin a special LIOMOQAI term for you as well as reblog any terms from the community that were also made for you due to the occasion.
How do I apply?
[PT: How do I apply?]
You send us an ask on this blog or direct message it with which date you want to be your "Gift Day" as well as a "wishlist" of what kind of terms on your Gift Day you would like to be coined the most. The wishlist can be listed in the ask/direct message or it can be a link to a site containing it (for example on rentry, so it's easier to update if you so desire at any time). You also need to sign off somehow; you can either tag your blog in the message or if you prefer to be anonymous, some kind of emoji or anonymous name can also work.
Can I pick any date? Can I pick multiple dates? Can I change/remove my date after I already declared it?
[PT: Can I pick any date? Can I pick multiple dates? Can I change/remove my date after I already declared it?].
Yes, you can pick any date including a date that has been already picked by someone else. Yes, you can pick multiple days but you have to provide a different and varied wishlist for each of the days picked (this might be useful to some, for example for systems, who might want to celebrate different days or have specific wishlists for different alters). Yes, you can change or completely remove your date from the calendar at any moment.
How am I to be sure people will participate in this?
[PT: How am I to be sure people will participate in this?].
You don't. There's a chance no one will send you a term besides us. That's just life sometimes. As much as we encourage anyone who reads this to join in celebrating all Gift Days, we cannot actually force anyone. That being said we guarantee you to make a point as a mod of the blog and the calendar, that at the very least you will get at least one term from us*.
*there's always a chance we might not be available for a day (maybe an accident happens or we otherwise will be unable to make a term, you can never predict what life will bring), in which case, if possible we will warn of that beforehand on the blog HOWEVER we *will* make the term, either ahead of your Gift Day or after it. It will be made.
How do I participate in the Gift Days of other people? What if I cannot make a term on that particular day?
[PT: How do I participate in the Gift Days of other people? What if I cannot make a term on that particular day?].
Make a point to make a term for them when the days comes around. Heck, make multiple if you want to! Heck, make terms WHENEVER you feel like it! At its core, @cakeqai strives to encourage interaction between members of the community and to make them feel appreciated - nothing stops you from making any day a Gift Day for other people if you're motivated enough!
Are there any rules I need to follow while making a gift?
[PT: Are there any rules I need to follow while making a gift?].
whenever you make a gift term for someone's Gift Day, tag us and the person for whom the gift is for (if they are not anonymous)
the term should be at least loosely related to the provided wishlist, after all the person applying specifically decided what terms they want the most
please check if you are potentially on a DNI of the gift receiver if they have, and vice versa for your own DNI if you have one; we don't want any drama or uncomfortable feelings on either side
the only terms we will not accept neither on wishlists nor reblog as gifts are radqueer terms, stance terms, harmful transids and NSFW/"Mogai After Dark"; if you believe the gift receiver would actually like these terms, feel free to gift them outside of this initiative - those are just terms that either make us uncomfortable or could bring potential discourse on the blog
Can I join this blog as an additional mod?
[PT: Can I join this blog as an additional mod?].
Sure, but only if you promise to also make a term on EVERY Gift Day to the best of your abilities.
What inspired this blog?
[PT: What inspired this blog?].
After talking to multiple people of the LIOMOQAI community as well as participating in @\coinfight we came to realize few things:
many people of the community love gifting others terms, they just struggle to do it out of their own action (usually due to social anxiety or fear of being seen as random, especially if they don't know the other person that well), LIOMOQAI Calendar aims to encourage people to do it in a way that gives both the gifter a chance to celebrate the receiver and make them happy and receiver opportunity to share what they would like to be made for them; in an aforementioned @\coinfight event many participants shown an interest in keeping their specific wishlists outside of the event as a way to encourage this as well;
the LIOMOQAI community struggles heavily with interacting with each other, this is not a jab at anyone in particular nor a request to change one's way but we felt the need to try and fight it by encouraging others to interact with each other through the way of gift giving;
while we love @\coinfight and consider it one of the main inspirations for the blog, many criticize it for focus on points and competition as well as crunching many terms in a short amount of time - while we do not claim to agree with those criticisms, this blog strives to answer them in a way of having a long-term event that focuses specifically on the act of gift sharing and making people of the community feel appreciated and special.
Anything else I should know?
[PT: Anything else I should know?].
This blog has no DNI, the mod of the blog is completely discourse-apathetic and cares more about bringing the community together rather than dividing it. Any attempts at bringing discourse to this blog will be deleted and the users blocked.
If there are any further questions you have, feel free to ask!
Other than that? Have fun! Don't be afraid to apply and don't be afraid to make someone else happy by gifting them!
