hey lioden! this is my first time having a go at base designing, but I thought this would be appropriate being that it's pride month, and that I am trans. this base is inspired by and a strong homage to the transgender pride flag. the main colors are blue, pink, and white.

many trans people struggle with dysphoria; feeling intense unease or discomfort in your own skin, especially in relation to gender. euphoria is the exact opposite of that feeling! feeling excited, happy, and pleased with yourself. that's where the name idea comes from.
(i'm not especially good at naming, so please lend me some suggestions if you've got something better!)
edit: changed the name from euphoric to elation

elation

lineless version

(and of course, since I'm SUPER new to this, i encourage you to let me know how I can improve, or things I could make better!)

EDIT: please let it be known that i would not like the meaning behind the base to be changed! i don't mind a new name, but the meaning is important to me, and i'd rather the base be ignored if it has to be separated. thank you for all the feedback!! <3



This suggestion has 266 supports and 92 NO supports.

@Adamymous It doesn't need to be released this month, the coloration fits in better with the July event anyway, and if that doesn't cut it, it could be released next year. But the fact it blends so well with many of the preexisting bases is part of why I'm supporting it.

I'm just saying that there's no way it can be integrated into the game without mentioning where it came from.

EDIT: I absolutely understand and I'm in no way judging any of you for expressing your thoughts, and I hope I'm not coming off that way.

I think the base itself is a nice design and well thought out, but I personally don't think there should be bases completely dedicated to lgbt, I think there should be decors for the lgbt community, but not bases. The bases are meant to be just for looks, not in support of anything, they are just simply objects or aspects of an object made into a base. Not a whole community.

You can easily have your king or queen transgender by explaining in their desc they have transitioned from this to this, and put either the lab test decor on them or not. You could've sex changed them earlier in life. I'm pretty sure there is a custom decor of the Transgender flag as well if you had the money to buy it.

I don't think you should be basing a base on a whole community when bases are meant to be expressions of objects, colors, and or aspects of an object. To me it almost seems like you're calling transgender people objects, I know that was not your intention at all, but that's what I see in this.

I'm afraid I'll have to give a no support, again the design is nice and elegant, but I can't support it.

@Prince

Aye! I understand completely ^^; Thanks for understanding my tone as well.

It blends wonderfully. I could see it being a Cherry Blossom combo base, even. I'd like seeing this as a February base, personally.

Seeing its inspiration and the way it fits with Cherry Blossom that well, it would be perfect for that month rather than July, and give the team time to work on it if it got accepted.

Hey, not gonna comment on anything else, but "transgenders" isn't really something nice to refer to transgender people as. Not sure if you knew, or it was intentional, or what, but I figured I'd let you know.

@Pangur Ban
What shall I call them then? I've never encountered that ever being a problem and I'm curious as to why it is. There's only that or persons which is typically only used in essays on my part.

You should just call them transgender people?

It's a very beautiful base, but I don't think having a base named Euphoric is that great of an idea. Also because Euphoria can be related to alcoholism (something I'm very sensitive about), drug-usages, mental health disorders, and much more.
If the name was changed, then yes I can support this. I really love how pastel it is.

Maybe Elation or Bliss?

@Pangur Ban
You sound not so sure, is that more a confused by my questioning or you yourself do not know the answer?

I really can't tell and I want my comment to be worded as properly as possible to not be taken in any wrong direction.

@Karmo
Good point, I didn't notice that!

Karmo- thank you for the suggestion! i didn't consider that, and i definitely don't want that type of intention behind it. i love the name elation, so i'll put it up there!

Can you explain farther?
Not trying to be mean, or rude, or anything, i just really don't understand? (I would like to understand)

Because online we arent sure of genders typically. But in this case we speak of transgenders, a plural term, if we were speaking of women, we would say women, if men, we would say men, if a whole we would say people/we/them, we wouldnt say women people, and men people?

How is "transgender people" different from "transgenders"?

I was more confused at the person below your comment, sorry. I didn't mean to come off as that way.

@Karmo I hadn't though of that, and I totally agree with you.

(@knobbALPHA & Fading Angel Not sure if I should be posting off topic, but trans/transgender is an adjective. A person is transgender in addition to being a person, so it'd be fine to say that person is transgender or they're a transgender person, but just calling trans people "transgenders" is considered dehumanizing.)

the reason transgender people don't typically like to be called "transgenders" is because it feels inhumane and kind of objectifying, at least to most trans people i've heard from. the most respectful plural form is transgender people! it's okay to make mistakes, just remember this for the future!
