Hello, you little shits.
Quit scrolling. Take a discourse break and answer the following:
If you were a Magic creature, what happens when you enter the battlefield?
OK, here goes...
I'm on a journey now. I don't know what the destination is. I don't know how long it's gonna take to get there. But, I'm behind the wheel, and I'm going to take the turns that feel right.
The first stop is...
They/Them --> They/She
I'm still Bug.
Just happier.
Some people have been sharing their experiences with
@BobbieChristxne
tonight and it's about time I shared mine.
CW: talk of suicide. (But it's a happy ending.)
Thank you to
@TolarianCollege
for the role you played in this story without ever knowing.
I was a smoker since I was 17.
Just over 2 weeks ago, I quit. I just stopped doing it.
It has not been easy. But I'm winning this fight, and I feel proud.
#BetterDaysMTG
Five days ago I quit smoking. Today was the first day I woke up and didn't want a cigarette.
No more having to sneak away all the time. No more smelling like smoke. More I can spend on Magic. More I can give to charity. A healthier life.
🤍💙🖤❤️💚

January to December.
Different home, different job, different partners than how I started the year.

It's a dream come true. To stand among my friends and peers and to be recognized in this way... I'm overjoyed.
I'm a Bird of Paradise.
I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to give even more back to this community!
Bug entered the realm of content creation for one reason: to give others the opportunity to experience the joy of the Magic community that helped her through so much. As one half of the Burnished Hearts Twitch streaming team,
@OnionBugXD
brings focus to not just Commander, but
I've come such a log way since this time last year...
To all my mutual friends, I love you. Thank you.
I hope I've been able to give you something in return.
Hi, new followers. I'm Bug.
I guest on commander streams and I'm a mod on the lovely Lobby Pristine discord server.
Been playing Magic since 1999, and I'm glad you found me.
I may have some exciting things on the horizon, so stay tuned. 💋
I played Magic on stream last night, and it was two firsts,
My first cEDH game.
My first time on face cam.
I post photos all the time. But knowing people could see me in real time... it was an enormous boost to my confidence.
I was born male, but I have never been a man.
I have never been happy with my body, but fear and the way this world works has prevented me from stepping into the light.
To all my trans friends, thank you for the hope you give me and the acceptance you have granted me.
I love you.
Magic Con Chicago PSA:
Doing right by people's pronouns is an amazing and simple way to make everyone feel comfortable. And if you mess up, a quick and sincere apology before moving on is perfect.
Also, if you know someone is misgendering a friend, help correct.
“The natural world has already solved our problems. Our challenge is to replicate the elegance of its solutions.”
This community gives so much. Soon,

&
@Qleth4
will be contributing more.
This March, "The Burnished Hearts" will arrive.

2023 is ending.
I made the best friends I've ever had.
I started guesting on Magic streams.
I attended my first Magic Con.
I came out as trans.
I'm so happy, and I owe you all so much. If I made your year better in any way, please let me know. I wanna cherish the memory of 2023.
Been a hell of a year. I'm not really big on the holidays. But if I've brought any of you even the slightest joy, I'm grateful. Cause the amount of joy you've brought me is enormous. Thank you Magic community. Thank you all.
Good morning, you little shits. (Affectionate)
Miss Electra wants to know what non-legendary creature you wish was legendary so you could put it in the command zone without a rule zero discussion?
Sshhhhhhhhh,
He's still sleeping but, everyone stop what you're doing and wish
@CooperLeeF
a Happy Birthday!!!
He just got a legal name change, so he's 1 year old!!!! 😆
Rat Conony 4 life baby!!
Working on a new deck inspired by our community.
Prismatic Bridge, group hug/chaos. I can't add any cards to the deck without it being a suggestion from the community. Give me a card I should add. No legendary creatures please.
Magic community, what is your favorite deck of all time?
Is it a commander deck?
Is it a 60 card deck?
Is it from another format entirely?
Why do you love it?
For anyone that needs to hear it.
You don't have to be so hard on yourself. The world will do that for you, so you don't need to help it along.
Just be kind to yourself and keep extending the reach of that kindness to others, and you'll do great.
Feeling incredibly accomplished as I wrap up my stream appearance with the
@mtgcommander
I've come so far since this time last year...
Thank you
@QueenoCardboard
for helping make this possible.

Before I quit attending my family gatherings 100%, it was through Cards Against Humanity that I learned I should quit attending my family gatherings 100%.
Bug made the mistake of leaving her phone unattended so I have hijacked it to post that she's really truly the best and most cutest and most loved 🥰 Seeing everyone love her and support her means the world to mean and I'm grateful every day
Kthxbye! -

Hi Magic community. I'm starting my new stream in September. I want to help people whenever I do. I want to compile a list of community members in need of assistance and the links they can take donations at.
That way I can always point viewers to those in need at anytime.
Hey nerds (affectionate).
Magic sets come out pretty fast these days.
I wanna know your top 3 favorite Magic sets ever.
Not the sets you think are the best, the sets the love the most.
I'll start,
1. Odyssey
2. Phyrexia: All Will be One
3. Alara Reborn
Without Bobbie-Christine I would not be here. I say with 100% certainty and sincerity that she saved my life.
Please, if you can help her, it would mean the world.
The doctor called and confirmed that I have testicular cancer. The two tumors are dire enough that I am being expedited, and expect to have emergency removal surgery in 3-4 days.
There is a Magic community member who is so very far away from us all, and yet he always finds the time to bolster all of us or brighten our days. So, this is a
@TamirThePunner
appreciation thread. Let's give a moment to show him how loved he is for all the times he does for us.
