Hello there Swifties of Tumblr! This is Swiftie Pride Central, and like a rainbow with all of the colors, I promise that you'll never find another like me! If you've heard of the famous, beloved @santaswiftie then welcome to June's version: Swiftie Pride Gift Exchange! With the hopes of making this time a bit more bearable for us all, I am organizing a gift event inspired by Santa Swiftie with a colorful twist to celebrate Pride! Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not, if you want to be a part of this event, you will simply be assigned another Swiftie to create a gift for! Anything is welcome, including drawings, edits/graphics, gifsets, playlists, written notes, paintings, whatever you're PROUD of! I encourage you to think Pride themes, but creative freedom is the best way to go, right? So have fun with it!

Official Rules:

You can enter to take part until Sunday, April 30th, 2023.

I will be sending out your assigned blog via inbox (if I cannot get ahold of you, I will DM or vice versa) by Sunday, May 7th, 2023. You can feel free to send anonymous messages to your giftee to get to know them better for gift ideas! *Edit* If you're interested in making a physical gift for your assigned blog, that is fine as long as the blog is comfortable with sharing their info so you can mail it!

You have until Tuesday, June 6th, 2023 to create your gift. That day will be Swiftie Pride Day!! Please simply make a post any time that day with the gift included and tag the blog you've been assigned. Use the tag #SwiftiePrideDay

If the blog you are assigned is someone you have an issue with or has you blocked, let me know immediately. I will not tell anyone or start anything, you have my word.

If you sign up and find you cannot take part in this event, please tell me as soon as possible so I can work something else out for your assigned blog!

Nothing disrespectful or mean, please. I should not have to say this, but I am saying it regardless.

You can feel free to send me a message any time to ask questions, I will respond as soon as I can and will be checking this blog at least once every day. I appreciate you all working with me and hope everyone enjoys the event!

🏳️‍⚧️🌈🏳️‍🌈Please send me a DM, inbox message, respond to this post via reblog or reply, or let me know some other way if you’d like to take part🏳️‍⚧️🌈🏳️‍🌈!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tagging some Swifties below the cut who interacted with my asks, I'd be thankful if you'd share/signal boost so others can join if they'd like to!

Aw thank you!!! 🥰❤️ That's been always my intention and all your kind words are the greatest reward. Wishing the same for you!

That's all, my elves! 🎁🔔

The event is over (this time, for real) Please, ignore the happy holidays message, it took me 2 months to finish all 114 gifts 😅 (If you've made a gift but you haven't received mine, it's definitely an error, so let me know because something is waiting for you!)

Again, thank you all for joining this wonderful event, you've truly been my elves helping me create this gift I've been doing since I started this. I know it's far from being perfect, so don't take it too seriously, it's just a silly little thing for contributing to this! Thanks for your anons/questions too, especially regarding favorite colors/lyrics hahah, they've really made it easier for me and I've read each message carefully. I am very pleased to know that you enjoyed this event as much as I did, that this small idea has made many people happy and has given blogs that aren't editors an opportunity to participate. I'm also happy to see that many of you've made new friends in the process, and for all the lovely people I've met! I'll take that with me and that's undoubtedly the most rewarding thing, so I've enjoyed putting my grain of love in each gift. I hope that you never forget this thing, because I surely won't!

Santa Swiftie says goodbye, doubting that I'll ever come back, but loving you much more. Keep being cute my loves, I wish the greatest of happiness to all of you! - 🎅❤️

You better watch out … this weekend ...

That's all, folks! 🔔

We're done with the gifts. Thank you so much for your lovely words and your patience. For all the effort, love and dedication with which you've made your gifts 🥰🎁 All of them are different and special on their own, and I'm very happy to see that you've all appreciated the gifts equally, regardless of how big they were. That was the spirit of this event and I love that you've respected it, you've helped me so much. You're all lovely people for committing to this event and making someone else happy, I'm so proud of each one of you and I hope that you're proud of yourself, too!

These have been hard times for me personally, althought I've never talked about it before. So leaving aside the discourse (I've already edited the post removing the urls), your support messages and gifts have been of great help to me these Christmas, more than you can imagine 💔🩹 And I will always remember that! I promise that I'll answer to your private messages as soon as I can, but as I've said, I have other surprises coming and I need to take a short break, after all. I love you all so much, thank you for being so kind to me and I wish you the best year that you could ever have!

- with love, SantaSwiftie 🎅

Special shoutout to @thenighttrain, @proudtobeaswiftie and @madammedusasplace for contacting me privately or through a mention. They've always been humble and so kind about it and that needs a recognition. I want you to know that I appreciate it the most and I hope that you don't get upset about it because you're lovely no matter what! 😊❤️

Edit to add @reputation, too. She hasn't contacted me but it's been nice to find out a post on their blog about the thing and not to see awful comments from them. Thank you, Leah!
