i need those mf letters
 
I know it's a love/romance theme and all that but no trans colours among the pride flag sceneries with all of the Recent Events™️ going on in the States looks a little ermm
I agree with this ! I really appreciate the addition of the pride sceneries and I'm guessing the intention was to highlight sexualities for Valentine's Day but it feels strange to not have the trans flag up there alongside them, especially at a time like now

also side note I love the letter collectibles very cute 💌

Since I'm the one who came up with the concept and made them (on like. a very short time crunch -- literally thought of the idea at work yesterday and put it together right as i got home and fell asleep shortly after), I can answer to this!

I decided to limit it to just romance/sexuality for Valentine's day-- I didn't really feel right doing the trans colours without also including nb, genderfluid, agender, intersex, and 2s at the very least, which started feeling very... out of scope for this event. There's a lot of sexuality flags that I also had to make a decision to not make palettes for. It truly wasn't meant to be exclusionary, I just had to make a decision last night, and that was it.

I know it's not really satisfactory given everything, but hopefully that makes sense.
Also since we've gotten this working for valentines... my hope is to probably make similar backdrops in the future. like. June.

I mean, "trans" covers all of that. Sorry if you had to deal with crunch but it still feels really tone deaf given Trump's on his fourth anti-trans executive order and all recognition of us has been wiped from the state department website, including shortening "LGBTQI+" to "LGB" wherever mentioned.
 
THE SNEK LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEESSSSSSSSS 🐍

The love letters are so adorable 😊 So excited to participate in all the events! (well, almost every event- I'm too anxious to participate in Among Us 😅)

It was so hard to choose between 3 & 4 for the backdrop 🥲

Thanks staff for putting together such a sweet event! 💝
