A love letter to a few members of the LIOMOQAI community
for day 14 of my Coining Event :
[This post is about to be... so very long! I apologize...!!! If you got tagged and you can't find your spot, check alphabetically! This is sorted from A-Z!]
First, though, a quick love letter to any and all LIOMOQAI community members. We, of course, could not feasibly fit every single creator, collector, archiver, and member that is a part of the community, nor could we fit every single one that is greatly admired by us.
I want to thank you, LIOMOQAI community, for existing. You created a safe space for me to coin and express identities that I didn't know we were allowed to have or experience. Now, I teach people I know about this community, and they begin to find terms for themselves, too. When we think of community, we think of you.
[I know that the LIOMOQAI community is FAR from perfect, but so are all communities, and I have full confidence that when we acknowledge this fact, we can then work on bettering the community. Call out the hostility and hatred within the community if and when you see it, but never forget to see all of the welcoming and love.]
Each and every one of you is what makes the LIOMOQAI community what it is today. I've watched this community grow for the 4+ years I've been a part of it, and it's been a privilege. I can't wait to continue to grow with you all.
And to the term hoarders/collectors of the community, I see and appreciate and love you. You are so valued, and you are just as important in making the community go 'round as the coiners are. It means the world to see one of our terms get reblogged to somepony's personal term collection blog! I want you to know that coiners care about you, too!
To the archivers, thank you for helping to preserve history. Sometimes blogs go away, or coiners become inactive, or life just happens, and you and your blogs are there to help! You protect history and save these identities for so many more to be able to see and enjoy. What you do really matters. The dedication and effort that it takes to archive is immense, and I, along with my fellow coiners and community members, really love what you do.
And to all of the coiners! Hai :3 just kidding, that's not all I have to say! I want to thank you for making terms and flags and helping put experiences into words and colors and creations. We know as well as any that it can end up taking a lot of effort and be exhausting, so we praise and thank you for what you do! I love seeing the terms you all make, and am so excited for the infinite possibilities that await.
I guess what I'm trying to say, LIOMOQAI community, is that: we love you (/familial /platonic.) or, if you don't like terms like love, then we appreciate you and are so glad you exist.
Now for the individual/personal notes!
I may not know all of you super well, but trust me when I say that I greatly appreciate what each and every one of you does for the LIOMOQAI community and wanted to thank some of you and comment on what I greatly appreciate about your accounts/terms.
@boingogender ~ Yayyyyy I love your blog! I really love your terms and the overall aesthetic of your blog! I especially love your music terms (which is most of them, which I love)! We really love music, and seem to have similar taste in some bands, so we especially love to see it! We are hoping to get caught up on your coining event as it is super cool :3
@cadycoins ~ your flags are SUPER pretty! I love the gender system you made recently (I need to remember to reblog that!) a lot! I also love your blog theme, as we also love CRK!!! Your terms and flags are so super cool overall :3
@daybreakthing ~ I am SO grateful for the PSDs that you upload to DeviantArt! They are so helpful for me when we are making flags under current umbrellas or existing affixes, and we are sure they are helpful to plenty of others! You've been a blog that we've looked up to since towards the start of our coining (or any of your other blogs that you were active on, previously, like @/revenant-coining) and you still are! You make some really epic umbrella labels, and some really awesome flags, and I just adore your blog overall!
@dragonpride17 ~ I love LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!!! I also adore all of your archives that you run, as archiving is so important for history and, thus, for our community! Your terms are all gorgeous and super rad, and I love each and every one of them! I love seeing your blog on my dash. You are super cool, and I can't wait to see what you coin for the other coining events you're doing!
@dwllie ~ all of your flags are really gorgeous and pawsome! I really, especially, like your monster high flags (so fangtastic!) and your [x] instead of partner term flags!!! You make so many really cool terms, and I really like your blog aesthetic!!
@en8y ~ I really like your devotion to the community! You've been a blog I've really looked up to for a long time :3 the sheer amount of flags and identities you have made is astounding and really epic and admirable. Everything that you do for the LIOMOQAI community (especially the vast array of flags/identities you make) is so appreciated and absolutely seen!
@felidaety ~ I LOVE all your terms! The flags are so pretty and the meanings are rad and important and I really value your contribution to the community! Your blog is super welcoming and I deeply value that, as well!!!
@gender-goth ~ your terms and flags are SUPER pretty! I love the regression terms you recently posted a TON!! I also really appreciate your devotion to uplifting the Black community in the LIOMOQAI community! @blkmogai is super important, and I really appreciate seeing the terms that both of the mods (yourself included, of course!) create! Your blog layout is also really interesting, and I like seeing it on my feed!
@jiiamp ~ thank you so, so much for all the support you give our blog! On top of that, thank you for the support you give to so many other blogs! I think the terms you make are epic (my personal fave is Pavlovacharic / Pavlovacookiecharic!!!) We also greatly value your plain text blog @/jimspt where you help to make the LIOMOQAI community more accessible; it's a very important thing, and you being willing to help with the task is really rad of you!
@neopronouns ~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE how many different identities you make! I really love the fact that you have really awesome new stuff coming out often, and I love how often you uplift other creators! Your support for both those who coin and those who hoard and/or ID as these terms is so admirable! I really like how you also have so many terms that are niche, but describe genders or identities that beings have! The thought that goes into everything you make is really rockin to me!
@nomorebrad ~ thank you so much for all of the gender systems you coin and all of the flag templates you make! I love using your flag templates to make flags (and have more I'm using, to come, stay tuned!) Plus, all of your labels are really epic! I especially appreciate how specific your labels often are, as it really helps to put words to experiences for beings who wouldn't have the words, otherwise!
@rabidbatboy ~ you're really pawsome!!! Your coining event is the first I've ever done, if i recall correctly? (I could be wrong!) And I loved it! Your blog and all your terms rock, and i adore what you do for the community!
@radiomogai ~ I really, really, REALLY appreciate all you do for this community. Seriously, it means a lot! You archiving so many terms and labels helps to preserve them and create a more permanent form of history in the LIOMOQAI community, which is so valued by so so many of us. I've loved what you've done since the start of my finding your blog, and we really continue to appreciate it, and will continue to support your blog and archiving everywhere!
[Shoutout to all LIOMOQAI archives who preserve history. You help to cement these identities and happenings for the many more beings to come!]
@rwuffles ~ (i know you're on a hiatus and want to be clear that I respect that, and it is 1000000% valid!!!) I also wanted to just comment about how much I appreciate your blog and value your past terms! (I also love your [x] instead of partner terms AND the really pawsome template that you made!) It also is really kind and awesome how much you boost the terms of other coiners in the community, I really love that you care so much to reblog and promote all of these other blogs! I also appreciate you speaking up and out about human rights on your account, as that is vital!
@squidfreak ~ i really love your terms and the thought behind them; we can always tell that you put a lot of effort into them! The overall layout of your blog is adorbs + you're super rad overall! All my interactions with u have been pawsome :3
@vampitsm ~ your flags are always STUNNING! I also love the vampire theme :3 I really appreciate and admire the representation and terms you give the Black LIOMOQAI community, as well!!!
@xenicfruit ~ you are SUPER sweet and cool and epic!! I love your terms and flags and your blog layout rocks (HOUSE MD EEE). Also, i ADORE the little icon you made for me, and it's literally one of my fave lil things somepony online has made me!!
@xenoseller ~ I know this account hasn't been one you've had for long, but I love all the terms you've created! (I am biased, but I especially love the ones you made for my event ;3!) Your flags are all stunning, and I deeply appreciate the niche identities that your terms help give descriptions & community for!
Final notes:
- you may be saying "chronic, I swear I barely see you interact..." guys (and non-guys)! I swear I mean to, but half the time i have a video playing while I scroll tumblr and I see your cool blogs and terms and forget to interact while I'm scrolling... I see them and go YIPPEE or share them with a friend, but sometimes I forget to like, I apologize!!!
Currently thinking about doing some scripting and designs for the S3 redux ideas I have (I’ll be sure to post them here and reblog them on the main account) and since I got reminded of that post about the ancient giants and the cladistics behind the nisse and trolls, it got me thinking.
What are some zoological or ecological HCs you have for the creatures in Hilda? Especially pre-S3?
I have some personal ones for some of the critters in the show, like for example woffs having vestigial limbs since they mainly carried themselves aloft through an enlarged air sac, or deerfoxes nearly having been driven extinct at one point though to overhunting and habitat fragmentation from humans once they settled to the area that would be Trolberg, which explains them predominantly hiding in the auroras.
Though I am interested what the rest of you lot have in terms of HCs related to the creatures in the show and in the comics, whether it be more rooted in science or rooted in real world folklore.
