Site Update
Aywas is rainbow for the Pride Event!
The Pride Event is a month long celebration of marginalized orientations, gender identities, and intersex (known as MOGAI or LGBT). Because this is a month long event, you should expect to see updates each week on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and finally on the 30th!
Your premium item for this month is the Pride Candle, which will allow you to select one of many semi-custom Pride Teos. A semi-custom is halfway between a site pet and a custom, like the Skelly Quetzal obtained by buying an Aywas plush.
A reference guide for what each Teo represents is located here for you.
If you've ever wanted a Teo, now's the time to get one! They may not be super-duper unique in the end, but they're Teos and they won't be released outside this event!
Tomorrow, June 2nd, be sure to stop by the Advent Calendar and pick up a Pride Rose. This will allow you to upload one of the Pride Dragons, a special SCC made specifically for this event!
You may upload any design posted to the Reference Guide for Pride Dragons, or you may download the pet's PSD and design your own dragon.
Pride Roses will lose their "power" on July 1st, so be sure to get your dragon colored sometime during this month!
Xaoc Lovers! There's a Xaoc Blind Auction happening in the Events forum. If you feel like donating to your favorite LGBT charity and taking a shot at winning a Xaoc designed by Syncline, be sure to read the thread to find out how to participate.
Our ability to release content for you on the 7th, 14th, and 30th will be determined by how much you participate in the Pride Contests! Be sure to stop by them and contribute whatever you can. There are great prizes!
Pride Pets!
Pride HA Wearable Items!
Pride Main Contest!
Pride Writing Contest!
Pride Items!
If you would like to have your orientation or gender identity added to the Pride Teos or Pride Dragons, post some information and the flag for it up on their respective threads and we'll add them as we're able to.
Have a great Pride Month, and look forward to the next Pride Update on the 7th! Oh yeah, and be sure to thank this event's co-sponsor, Fannish, for all of her hard work in helping me make this event for all of you!

Macbeth (#8188) I know the orange and black and green one was one of the proposed Aro flags but it ended up being vetoed because the colors were too similar to the Jamacan flag, which has very distinctive colors. The most widely accepted Aro flag within the community is the black-green-white-green-black horizontal stripes one.

Veto'd by whom? could I have a source on that?
Personally I do not see the resemblance between it and the Jamaican flag.
As far as I have heard, both flags are still widely used [the colors here are the ones still supported by NCAV] and it does not have a true solidified color set. :^O
but if there have been any changes in the last year or so to that, I'd love to see a source on the information.

Not sure if anyone knows, but will the teos always be collectible with candles? Or only this month? *missed something she's sure*

Oh, dear. I can FINALLY have a Gen One Teo, but now I can't decide which to get, as I'm not too keen on the one that accurately describes me, but I love so MANY of the rest! *starts to play eenie-meenie-minie-moe*

NCAV??? the only ones that are really widely used anymore are the ones that are black,grey, white or yellow, light green, and dark green. The only ones who generally use the old one are people who are misinformed or haven't updated in a while.

Tumblr is not exactly a valid source, nor representative of a whole community?
NCAV is The National Coalition for Aromantic Visibility.

Yes! This is one of the reasons I really like Aywas! Got a demisexual teo and then bought a lesbian teo which is awesome! And I can't wait for the Pride dragons tomorrow!
