Simon's Week 2025

Announcing Simon's Week 2025, 25 July to 1 August!

For Simon's birthday this year we're celebrating with music themed prompts - specifically, Omar Rudberg songs!

To participate, create (or finish) something new inspired by one of the below prompts and post on the appropriate day. Can be any kind of fanwork - fics, art, GIFs, edits or anything else you want! - and any theme/relationship(s)/characters as long as Simon is the main focus.

As always, you can be inspired by the prompt however you want; whether it's the whole song, the title, a single lyric, the video or artwork, or even just the vibe. If none of these songs inspire you, the final day of the week is a free day where you can post something inspired by any music you choose (not just Omar's!).

Day 1, 26 July: Dum

Day 2, 27 July: La Mesa

Day 3, 28 July: Mama

Day 4, 29 July: Om du inte fanns

Day 5, 30 July: Luz Roja

Day 6, 31 July: Talk

Day 7, 1 August: Free day

Guidelines:

Use the tag #simonweek2025 and remember to tag @youngroyalsevents in the body of the post.

Indicate which prompt/day it's for.

Use the tag #nsfw for explicit content, and any other content warnings as necessary.

We'll provide an AO3 collection link.

Please post on the appropriate day, or after it if necessary. We'll continue to reblog late submissions, we just ask you to please not post in advance.

Have fun!

Buying the massive books and activities sets they have, really expensive ones that also come with the stickers. 50 of those.

I finally got back to writing some short stories!

saw a video that was like “everybody comment what you did today so we can see how everyone experienced something different” and the comments have me tearing up on this train. what the fuckkkk. the human experience

[fuckabledragonoftheday]

I used to be able to take multiple requests in the same ask when I was making a new post for each suggestion, but now that I'm sharing the ask (because I feel like the feelings some of those have add to the post), I must ask y'all to make suggestions one by one. It's okay if I get 81 asks from the same person, it beats getting 81 dragons in one ask.

The time has come—works have been REVEALED over at the Exchange Collection 🥳

As of right now, we have 91 works posted to the collection, 30 of which are treats (AKA extra gifts not assigned). I'm absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm people have had for creating for this exchange!

If you're interested in playing a little guessing game, we have a Dick-tectives Spreadsheet where you can fill in who you think created which works, and what clues led you to that determination! Then, once creators have been revealed, I'll fill in which guesses were right and which were a tad off base. I'm really looking forward to all you master detectives taking a crack at it!

HERE you can find a countdown timer to Creator Reveals, which will be on July 8th, 8pm Eastern Time. Plenty of time between now and then to enjoy all the wonderful goodies with our secret identities still firmly in place.

While commenting on your Gift is technically not required, it is strongly encouraged—after all, someone went through a lot of trouble to make a gift for you! A kind word goes a long way. Not that I need to tell y'all that; you're all creators, you get it 😊

Also a note not to panic if your Giftee doesn't kudos or comment right away! Unfortunately, real life does sometimes get in the way, and not everyone has the ability to instantly check out what's been created. Take a few deep breaths, remember that you're a freaking superstar, and enjoy everyone else's creations while you wait!

With all those notes out of the way, go forth and enjoy 💙

FTH 2025 Donation Totals

Friends, this has been an extraordinary year for the auction. We know how and why this happened: like in early 2017, everyone is scared and upset and looking for a way to do something meaningful.

And—just like in 2017, and every year since—hundreds of us have stepped up to support our most vulnerable neighbors and the organizations working to protect them.

Except this year, we did it on a scale we've never done before.

Last year, our donation total was an incredible $67,776.28

This year's donation total...

are you ready for it....

(you're not ready for it. we weren't.)

This year's donation total is:

Yes, you're reading that right. $127,204.11

We're flummoxed too—and deeply grateful to everyone who has poured their time and effort and money and love into participating in the auction this year, and into the fanworks that will come from it.

If you're curious about how those donations were distributed across the different organizations, here is the breakdown (this breakdown doesn't include employer match donations, which is why the total is a little lower):

Bellingcat: $2,636.19

Congo Leadership Initiative: $2,842

Crips for esims for Gaza: $4,762.60

Disability Law United: $3,835.39

Environmental Integrity Project: $3,712

Fight for the Future Education Fund: $3,108

Freedom to Read Foundation: $7,139.50

Global Project Against Hate and Extremism: $6,473

Hope for Ukraine: $12,613.93

In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: $3,626

Middle East Children's Alliance: $13,572.43

National Network to End Domestic Violence: $4,999.95

Never Again Action: $4,555

NLP: $3,745.16

Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights: $10,072.56

Umbrella: organizations serving vulnerable LGBTQ people

Brave Space Alliance: $2,558

Kentucky Health Justice Network Inc: $2,636

Sherlock's Homes: $7,780.77

TransFamily Support: $5,387.01

TransQueerPueblo: $2,949

Other local LGBT organizations: $10,696.71 Yes, you're reading that right again. Three orgs AND the cumulative Other local LGBT orgs broke five figures.

We're especially delighted because, for the first time, the umbrella category worked the way we've always hoped it would! As you can see above, significant numbers of people used the umbrella category as a way to connect to an organization local to them.

As we learned through people's comments on the donation form, some people donated to organizations they were already familiar with (and in some cases had already donated to, or even volunteered at); others used this as a reason to learn more about their local organization and support them.

We'll share more about the "other umbrella" donations over the next few weeks—some more detailed stats, as well as the names of some of the local orgs that people donated to—and we'll invite those of you who connected up with local orgs to share your stories. We love that so many people took this chance to support groups working in their own community, and we hope that we can keep that going next year and beyond!

And speaking of the future!

Now is a great time to follow @fth2025fanworks. We'll use that blog to share any auction fanwork that gets posted to tumblr.

We urge you to keep up with the organizations you supported this year (and the others on our list!) Follow them on social media, subscribe to their newsletters, whatever works best for you. It will enable you to keep an eye on the good work you've helped support, and to find out quickly when these orgs need some extra support, financial or otherwise.

And if you're looking out at the world and feeling the itch to do more, here are some possibilities:

Follow @fthaction, the meatspace activism wing of FTH. We relaunched this project in the weeks between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period, sharing some reading lists, an individualized activism bingo card, and an AMA with activist and organizer Kat Calvin. (We also did a test-flight AMA with ourselves, talking about the auction.) We'll probably need some time to recover from this year's auction, but we'll be back soon with more resources to share, more AMAs, and more tools for exploring all the different forms that meaningful activism can take and for figuring out which ones are right for you.

Organize your own auction! We've put together a detailed playbook that contains that contains as much information and as many resources as we can provide for getting an auction off the ground, including detailed guides. Almost everything in the playbook is fully public; there are a few forms that are access-locked because google has stupid ideas about sharing forms, but we're happy to give you access to those, too: just drop us an email.

Over here at FTH headquarters we are all in need of a long nap. But we'll be back in a couple of weeks, as promised, to share more about the umbrella orgs and to dig back into @fthaction to see what's possible.

Looking forward to a whole bunch of new fanworks! <3 your FTH mods
