#My contribution for the discord server event

[mitrielle]

Tactical Schuhplattler

This is my contribution to the Discord server event with the theme Folklore.

So this is what came to my mind. It's a folklore, one could only find in bavaria, the "Schuhplattler". Sometimes, it's really artistic, slapping another man's ass. (It's really nothing you find in Germany in general, same as "Lederhosen.")

Funfact: There's a Schuhplattler dancing group of only gay man, that call themselves the "Schwuhplattler." It's a mix of Schuhplattln (the dance) and "schwul" (which means gay), and they are really popular.

Drawing it was fun 😁

please stop scrolling for a sec!! i'd really appreciate your attention!!

hello, my name is nexys and i am a disabled, autistic, and queer person trying to make it in the content creation world. i'll do my best to keep this short and sweet, but i'm going to be having a subathon over on twitch starting 8/1 (august 1st) at 12pm CST.

this event is super important to me, as i'm trying to raise money to improve my living situation, as well as the living situations of those in my community. i'm also going to be running a charity day on friday, august 2nd for parkinson's awareness, research, and treatment, and will be having on my grandfather, who is an advocate with the disease. and i know it would mean a lot to him if he was able to raise some money to help other people like him.

for those that don't know, a subathon is when a streamer goes live on twitch for a certain amount of time, and the stream ends when the timer runs out. however, the timer can be increased indefinitely by viewers donating money, subscribing, gifting subscriptions, or cheering bits.

due to my disabilities i can't go 24/7 like some of the maniacs (/lh) out there, but i have committed to going every single day for at least four hours until the timer hits zero. and once again, this subathon event holds potential to be lifechanging for a lot of people. plus i'll be collaborating with over a dozen other creators throughout the first week, so you'll be getting a lot of variety! we'll be playing everything from pokémon to phasmophobia, roblox to subnautica, and more!

even if you can't contribute financially, dropping a follow, saying hello, and just Being There would mean the world to everyone involved.

here's my linktree, which directs to every website i'm on, including my twitch channel and discord server.

even if you're not personally interested in this project, please consider reblogging! there's a chance one of your followers might be interested, and any engagement helps. <33 thank you so much for reading this far, and i hope you have a great rest of your day/night!

I literally have the most amazing and wonderful community in the entire world???? T_T In this essay, I will—

This is going to be raw and unedited because I want to get my initial thoughts out there before I forget n go back to crying /pos, but?? Yawl.... I can't even begin to find the words to express how appreciative and grateful I am for each and every one of you!! ;v;

I've spent the past few hours reading through everyone's personally written messages, then rereading them all again to let it all fully sink in. I'm being genuine when I say that I've never felt this loved or appreciated in any community before in my life.

Those in the Discord server might know about this already, but since the start of this year, I haven't really been enjoying myself (nor have I been as active) in the yandere VN community. There was far too much infighting between devs, parasocial communities, and toxic anons that ruined so much for me — so I withdrew from it all and remained in my own small bubble. Even then, I still got belittled, harassed, doxxed, and even became the target of Tall Poppy Syndrome by others; most of which nearly made me want to leave altogether, but the overflowing amount of support from everyone in the 14DWY community made me want to stay.

And even now, after reading all those heartfelt messages... I think it's permanently solidified the little space I occupy here on the internet :3

So... Yeah, long story short (and a story that will likely end up as its own separate Tumblr post gjskskjd), I wasn't enjoying myself at all in the yandere VN community... but I did have the time of my life in the 14DWY community. And it's all thanks to you guys.

I'm genuinely sooooo proud to have such an endlessly kind, social, and talented community; and I'm glad to have brought such an interactive and friendly group of people together over our shared interest in such a nice concept. 14DWY is essentially a labour of my love — and although I'm ultimately creating it for me and my silly interests — it's still something that I want to make worthy of you guys as well. All the love and support you've shown me and 14DWY motivates me to do my very best, and y'all deserve nothing less. So...

Thank you all for finding a comfort character in my Totally Normal Guy and his Totally Not Eccentric quirks. Thank you for all the insanely talented creations y'all make and share with me. Thank you for sending in your silly (/pos) questions and turning them into inside jokes and AUs for the rest of the community to enjoy. Thank you for talking with me and making this space a genuinely fun place for me to be in again.

From the bottom of my heart; thank you all so much. I really hope everyone has had an amazing year so far, and I hope 2025 will be as kind to you as you all were towards me.

I also want to give a big fat massive huuuuuuuge shout-out to Ashe / @flaneur001 my love (/p) for organising the 14DWY letter event on Discord, and for contributing so much of their time and dedication to the 14DWY community. You say you've only been part of the community for a year, but to me, that was a year well cherished and appreciated. The 14DWY community (and me especially) have all been so lucky to spend this past year with you, and I sincerely hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. You've done so much for me, the community, and the 14DWY Discord server, so it's only fair that you get the recognition you deserve. So thank you, Ashe!! And a big thank you to everyone in the 14DWY Discord who participated in this event as well!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some cryin and sobbin to do <3 /silly /pos

I CAN FINALLY SHOW YOU MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE NEVERMORE DISCORD SERVER VALENTINE'S DAY EVENT 🖤🔥✨ it's a date that arose from a challenge, where the guy named Will is hit by his "date" Berenice with a golf club (unintentionally) and the other characters were curious to see William's misfortunes 🤣 except Annabel and Lenore, who were "fighting" with a LOT of flirting and apparently no one realizes that they are VERY close to each other... 😏🫦🙏🛐🥀🖤🔥✨ As always, they being sapphic 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[azirafeast]

This year is the 5th Annual #Azirafeast, The Feast Day of the Angel Aziraphale, an inclusive fandom event! It’s celebrated on November 19th! It’s a made up holiday that brings the community together, regardless of how a person participates in fandom.

On Nov.19, everyone is welcome to celebrate The Feast Day of Aziraphale by drinking cocoa and wine, eating good food, reading, being stylish on their own terms, enjoying the company of friends and embracing the spirit of Aziraphale! Please share your pics on socials with #Azirafeast!

On Nov. 19, Creators are encouraged to show Aziraphale indulging in what makes him happy or why you love him (canon or fanon!) Create “Lore” for why Aziraphale has a feast day! What miracles throughout history has he performed? Creations can be dramatic, serious, sexy or silly!

All forms of creation are welcome: Draw, write, sing, act, sew, bake, cosplay or anything else! However YOU want to appreciate our favorite Angel. All variations, versions and representations of Aziraphale are welcome for #Azirafeast

And remember, you don’t have to “make” anything to participate in #Azirafeast on Nov. 19. Eating cake and lying to your boss is a great way to celebrate! Confuse some customers, watch a nature documentary, get drunk, listen to your favorite music, be kind to someone who is new or lost!

Anything tagged #Azirafeast I will reblog, the same on Bluesky, Instagram and Twitter. I’ve had a permanent highlight on my Instagram for the last four years, and maintained this tumblr. Checkout what others have made for previous years!

There is also an AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Azirafeast

Anything added to it I will promote on my socials for #Azirafeast.

I know I don’t have the biggest following, but the idea is that on the feast of Aziraphale, even fans who don’t have a large social media presence will still be seen, still have their experiences noticed, and will feel part of a community that cares.

Folks can get stressed about creating by a “due date.” I encourage folk to post early if they want, and to keep posting after Nov. 19th if they miss the day or don’t finish in time.

Just make sure to tag your contributions, whether they are pics or creations, with #azirafeast so we can celebrate with you! Please feel welcome to take my words and reshare any way that you would like, and make your own posts to generate awareness! Please do share in any fandom communities your part of, or feel free to try and convince people IRL that this is a totally real holiday.

I do not run, own, control or anything of the sort in regards to #azirafeast. The idea came from Cliopadra and a private discord server, and the brilliant folk there randomly picked a date and ran with it. The reason I made this blog and encourage people to participate is because I think it’s a lovely idea! It is NOT “mine.”

Theoretically if I were to host an event in which the Scum Villain Fandom tried to write PIDW would people be interested?

I discussed this with my good friend @spaced-out-scribbles a while back but here few details that I have in my head, please stop me if someone has already done something like this before

As we all know PIDW, written by Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, was the source material that Shen Yuan transmigrates into

So wouldn't it be funny to have a "canon" source material for people to reference?

Step 1 would be to compile every reference to PIDW in SVSSS to figure out how long Binghe's white lotus arc lasted and how long actual plot occured before it devolved into shitty smut

Step 2 would be to compile a list of fic writers and maybe artists perhaps that would be interested in recreating PIDW based off of the information occuring in Step 1

A discord server is put together with everyone interested in this project

There could maybe be a list of people assigned to each referenced arc that would maybe hold applications the way that a zine would perhaps? With people applying to write specific portions of PIDW if they wanted to write the marriage of a specific wife or a portion of a specific arc

And anyone else that wanted to participate is assigned a random wife number and told to go wild with the longest, shittiest description of how Luo Bingge was a total stallion lead, and married his new wife of the week

All of these fics and/or accompanying art are submitted to a GIANT ao3 collection (bonus points if everyone involved creates a pseud that's named as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky for this project) and with everyone's contributions all put together you get a semblance of what PIDW would have looked like

Bonus points if no one else has any idea what happened in a previous wife plot, so the story is not at all coherent towards the later chapters, because I fully believe Airplane had no idea what the fuck he's written before as he got to the end of PIDW

Someone is assigned to write the final shitty ending that made Shen Yuan so mad he died and transmigrated

If anyone wants to contribute to PIDW after the project, the collection could remain open but moderated to make sure chapter numbers/wife numbers stay consistent and that's about it

Obviously this would be a huge project to wrangle and would need a lot of people involved to actually make it work and take a lot of time, so if this is something people are actually interested in, it would more than likely not be able to come to fruition until the start of 2025 at the absolute earliest with all the prep work it would take to get a project like this accomplished but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if people would be interested, so reblog to spread the word if this is something you'd like to see!

Once again, if someone has already done something like this please let me know, I've only been in this fandom for like a year and a half so I'm aware that a lot of fandom events have occured before my time in the fandom

My contribution to Secret Solstice - a Secret Santa event in Wyllstarion discord server. For @my-fool

The following nights after breaking his pact with Mizora, Wyll is constantly plagued by nightmares. Astarion is always there to make sure he can find peace and rest.

Check out the full gift collection here

The request for my gift is: "something wintry, something where Astarion takes care of Wyll, kind but not too sweet. Perhaps some magic involvement.". I couldn't fulfill "something wintry" but I hope you still like it! 

My idea is that this happened after Wyll broke his pact with Mizora. He is sure about his choice due to the encouragement of everyone, but the guilt about his father and the image of Mizora are still constantly haunting him. He can't rest and it is affecting his health and the missions. Astarion stays with him every night to offer comfort and make him fall back to sleep. The spell in the art is Dancing Lights. 

It is not clear in the art what the nightmare is, so you can imagine anything you like, even outside of my idea.

I hosted an event in @splatjack's Discord server, where artists of all kinds could join and contribute their style in a big Express art collab!

And here is the result of it all~ Thank you all who participated~ (also can you guess which one was my art? :>)

I can finally show my contribution for the lies of P anniversary illustrations event from Red lobster inn discord server!

🥀Adelina in a quiet night after a performance, sipping through a glass of wine, nostalgic of better days🥀

[pienpup]

okay, hi, i have tried to keep this specific topic quiet and under wraps because i wanted it to be over. however, people are just straight up lying about me. i will be responding to a specific public post with the lies in it just so i can specifically debunk things that are being spread.

i will not be linking the original post here, but i will be taking it paragraph by paragraph and debunking / sharing my side of the story. nobody will be named. the server in question, however, is named.

this drama started 6 months ago.

to preface: around October - November of 2024, I was in a discord server called Minefield. there were a few altercations in this discord server, but for the most part they were handled well by moderation or shut down.

something of note here that i will emphasize before anything else: the initial events were the result of me being unable to handle my own triggers. i have stated that i am responsible for them multiple times in private and i have just disconnected myself from this group of people and never interacted with them again to try to minimize this. however, lies are still being spread, i am still being harassed, and i don't know what to do anymore.

this post is long as fuck. the general TLDR here is that i got triggered, didn't handle it well, and things spiraled out of control.

if you need me to provide a shortened version please ask but i dont have the energy to make one right now.

if anyone would like to reblog to spread my side of things thatd be awesome but dont feel obligated.

this is going to be tagged publicly just so people see it. i will also link it in my pinned.

so, here is my account of the events that occurred. this will be under a cut.

first note: i dont have screenshots for a lot of this. i will try to find them where necessary and where i can, but i left this server. i dont have screenshots of the server.

first things first, this is misgendering me, and the OP literally never corrected it AND still posted this. thats not cool, man.

for the rest of these, to avoid unnecessary images, i will just be copy/pasting the text.

This talks about things from 6 months ago with new recent developments. Because they still haven’t actually taken responsibility for what they did.

Pom had brought up a ticket in a Discord server about being worried about a minor who was wanting to commit sui. Pom then left randomly and started posting hate about said minor, claiming the minor was venting about them (they weren’t), also claiming the minor was manipulative and a guilt-tripper (this isn’t true). A mod had called out this behavior, instead of taking the accountability for it, Pom had directed all of the hatred towards that specific mod and guilt-tripped the owner.

This is already misinformed. To begin: the ticket was not opened because of a minor threatening suicide, the threats began after the ticket was closed and the conversation that was occurring was shut off.

The ticket was opened because there was an inappropriate conversation occurring in general where users were filling out a kink tierlist. Both minors and adults were contributing, and I felt really pressured to engage in this conversation, and other people in the ticket said they did too. It wasn't just me.

I opened the ticket when the topic of CNC or consensual non consent came up. CNC in particular is triggering for me because in a past relationship there was unsafe practice of CNC. I don't call it abuse anymore because I think I was at fault for not communicating better, and that he was not an abuser. It is still a triggering topic. I had mentioned this instance in general, keep this in mind. I opened the ticket, said it was unsafe for minors to be talking about kinks (especially CNC) in general in a server without any sort of verification. Here, I should have expressed that I was not okay. I did not express that, and that was on me.

A user we will just refer to as W began venting after the conversation was shut down. These vents threatened suicide, and while they were not directed at me, I became even more triggered because people have threatened to kill themself to make me feel guilt about not wanting to engage in sex acts with them. I thought they were directed at me, and nobody ever bothered to tell me they weren't. I found out by proxy months later that they were about someone close in W's life.

I vented about this on my vent blog. I posted about leaving, and about how I, at the time, felt like nobody cared about me because nobody bothered to check on me. Nobody checked on me because I didn't express my distress. I know that now, months later after I have reflected on this a great deal. I should've communicated that maturely rather than leaving the server in a rush.

Some vent posts in question, they're still up.

Another thing I would like to note -- I never spoke to W. Before I knew the context of his vents, I did interpret it as guilt tripping and manipulative, and that was wrong. I made a mistake there. Like, that's just real life and I'm not gonna pretend that didn't happen. However, I never harassed W. I never even spoke to them, and they shouldn't have even been on my blog because my blog was marked as 16+ and they were under 16. I didn't think they'd even look at it. Those posts were for me to get my feelings out, not for W to see.

The day after, I spoke with the owner of the server, and another moderator we will call H. These letters aren't related to their names, I'm just picking out random ones. I do not remember what was said to H, genuinely, I just don't know because this interaction happened through asks. However, I was never informed that H was not the only moderator contributing here. I thought he was the only one talking, so the following statement made me upset.

Now, I still disagree with what was done here. I do not think it was appropriate to approach someone in crisis and tell them how they've hurt a bunch of people (without giving any context to that, even, I was not informed of what instances were being discussed) when they were trying to explain why they were upset and why they left. Something I will note here especially is that I have forgiven H, and I do not interact with him in any capacity nor do I talk about him. I think it was the responsibility of the older mods to recognize this as inappropriate, and wasn't on him. However, keep in mind, at the time I didn't know other mods contributed to this message, and I didn't know he had leaked my message to him to other mods. I never gave him permission to do that.

The instances mentioned in here are kind of problematic in itself. I can think of like 3 arguments I was involved in: a political one, one where i made a distasteful joke (about a musician) and was not clear about it being a joke, and a third one that everyone agreed was the other person's fault. Hell, that third one made me so upset and I felt so violated I changed my name. Also notable the second and third were the same user.

I also believe the political one is where the autism traits thing comes in? That's a whole other ordeal and I don't really feel it was even my fault, especially considering I apologized in dms to the other party and she apologized to me as well. I don't understand why it was still being discussed when it was resolved.

I am not entirely sure what they're referring to by guilt-tripping the owner, I was a little aggressive when I spoke to her, and I apologized for that later, but I don't really know what this is referring to.

Pom was wanting the server to be changed to how it was prior or they were going to leave. Pom had also suggested not protecting minors in that server by allowing nsfw talks to be a thing that could exist without those conversations being shut down (which even now, those conversations are shut down immediately once it gets out of hand). Pom was included in those nsfw conversations, making fun of kinks, and asked it to be shut down when someone had commented about how they had grooming trauma (this triggered Pom).

A lot of what Pom does is for themselves and will even deny what they’ve done. The minor they were worried about? They hurt and harassed with posts, making lies about them, and then getting upset only when something triggered them (them being Pom).

I do remember suggesting a few things being changed, like not allowing NSFW conversations and not allowing people to vent about users that are in the server. The second one is actually a rule in my own server, but again that was a misunderstanding.

Again I asked it to be shut down when the conversation of CNC came up, not when grooming was mentioned. I engaged in these conversations because I felt pressured to, as did many other people. Here is a screenshot from another former minefield user.

And again I believe this second paragraph here is about my vent posts about W. I did not harass W, in fact we apologized to each other through another user as a proxy.

note: the timestamps say "today" because this is a screenshot of a screenshot. i was not comfortable dming W so a friend did it for me.

I mean, this is how I spoke about W privately. So it just feels a bit odd that we've somehow landed on the idea that I harassed him viciously or something.

When a post was made about what Pom was doing, Pom said that they would start reporting harassing the mods/people that were talking about what they did and the issues it caused while Pom was making posts harassing the mods constantly while Pom was being asked to stop. Keep in mind that Pom said this VERY REAL MINOR was “made up” when said individual was a living human being.

I am going to be honest, I don't even know what the hell this is talking about. I did say I would report people who interacted with me at one point, but I genuinely don't... I don't know what this is about. I don't remember saying a person was made up.

The mod that Pom hated was 13, please also keep that in mind as well. Pom wanted this mod to be alone with them in a chat, but the mod refused if no one else could be with them. Pom is an adult.

So.. this.. is an odd one, to say the least. Around December I asked my friend to send a message to H to talk things out. At this point, I still thought H was the sole moderator responsible for the ask sent.

Something of note is that my friend was directly copy/pasting. So as far as I am aware, this is what was said and my messages were direct and not altered.

I would like to note here that I was prepared to apologize if I was respectfully informed of doing something wrong. I still didn't know what people were even upset about, and I'm still not 100% on the details.

H was not comfortable having a one-on-one conversation, so he proposed involving other moderators. However, I was not comfortable with the mods he proposed because I was afraid that it would turn into, well, me getting ganged up on.

I didn't want him to be alone in the chat, I just wasn't comfortable with the users that were being proposed to be in the chat with us.

More private messages from me, as evidence that this is in fact what I was feeling.

I won't share the majority of this conversation, because my goal here is to defend myself not make drama worse by placing my own accusations in response. I was not treated nicely here, and my complaints were dismissed by saying I was victimizing myself. This was the point where I put "minefield moderators dni" in my pinned post because I felt attacked and uncomfortable. This dni would lead to later drama that won't be touched on here.

This was in response to me explaining that block evasion is harassment.

I am only providing this to give context here that while I did make mistakes, not all of it was my fault and I was not treated well by the mod team.

The reason that Pom left the server was because “no one checked to make sure I was okay” when the mods were focused on trying to make sure the minor who was wanting to commit was okay.

This one is partially true (in the sense that it wasn't the only reason I left) and I admit wrongdoing here. If I needed help I should've expressed that, and the mods trying to help W, who was also in crisis, was not a bad thing.

Past the point of the initial drama, I don't think I was at fault anymore. I will take responsbility for not handling my triggers well, however, everything afterwards was kind of terrible for me. If there's things I don't remember that I did wrong that are brought up, I will take accountability for that.

Everything after this point is about jiraiconfessions, so I will not be discussing further instances of harassment, or anything like that. Again, my goal here is not to accuse the other party, but rather clear my name. Even if I believe what was done to me is wrong, I still don't really want to deal with posting accusations. It's just not worth it.

I do not want to have to post further. I do not want to have to bring out evidence or whatever and I just want this to be over. I don't gain joy from this, it makes me miserable. That is why I am choosing to not include my own accusations even if I believe there are things that were done wrong to me that I deserve an apology for.

Ultimately, even after this post, we are still going to disagree and that's fine. Just please keep your disagreements private instead of saying things about me publicly that aren't even true.

Now there’s the issues of jiraiconfessions, the blog they run and mod. They allow ableism, misandry, misinformation, and a bunch of other horrible things to run rampant without anyone being able to comment against it. There are many instances where they have let anons say whatever without any sort of moderation.

I don't know what this person is talking about with ableism, and if there was an ableist ask that went under my nose, the best thing to do would be to use my appeal system to get it taken down. I would not post ableism knowingly.

Misinformation here likely just refers to me posting different opinions, honestly. If something was misinformation again... use the appeal system.

Misandry is non-systemic and that's why I choose to post misandry but not things like misogyny. I have friends on both sides of the whole thing, and I'd rather just not take a stance. I'm kind of in the middle, I understand the nuance that it is wrong to tell the oppressed they can't hate their oppressors, but I also understand that there are disenfranchised men like trans men and MOC and not all men are actually oppressors. This is why I trigger tag it and provide the "gender discourse" tag for people to filter. If someone would like to tell me why this is bad, again, the appeal system is an option.

I moderate my posts pretty heavily, actually. I read every post before I queue it, and I am responsive when an appeal does happen. You can actually find instances of me apologizing and taking down posts. I'm also human, so, yeah, I make mistakes.

I don't allow reblogs but I do allow people to post separately. This is partially for my own sanity and to try to negate drama. The rule was initially put in place because the confessions account on twt generates a lot of drama, and I figured most people would be discouraged from fighting each other if they had to go and make their own post about it. That's honestly all there is to it.

With their post getting traction is because people are calling out predators, making sure that minors know who to block and avoid. Pom has said that there is sex work included on jirai spaces, but the way they had responded to a recent anon makes it seem like they’re excusing it by saying “people will look for sex work” whole minors are being sent unsolicited dick pics and being groomed. It shouldn’t be normalized because “that’s what you’re getting into in jirai spaces.” If you catch my drift.

Firstly, it was not made in response to people calling out predators. It was separate. I did not know people were getting unsolicited images nor did I know people were being groomed. My post was to emphasize that yes there will be predators here and you need to keep yourself safe. The history with underage SW means there will be predators in this space. That's all I meant by it and using buzz words like "normalized" doesn't.. change the actual meaning of my post.

I am not normalizing anything by stating that minors need to be safe on here and that you should not have a public blog if you are at extreme risk and if those interactions will harm you greatly. I know that second half isn't what people want to hear, but it comes from a place of concern. I don't want people to be hurt.

It shouldn't happen at all, obviously, never did I say it was normal or okay.

AAAND thats a wrap.

Again. I didn't wanna do this. I didn't want this. There are multiple times where I said I felt like I had no other option and chose not to do it and just tolerated the harassment anyways.

I'm doing it now and this isn't even everything I could talk about.

I am tired. I am sorry if some things are worded bad especially towards the end. This is exhausting and I do not like it.

Please do not make me do this shit EVER AGAINNN man I HATE THIS SHIT !!!

[jrwi-eldritchstrings-event]

Eldritchstrings Event Sign-Ups Open!!

Hi! Are you looking for some Apothy fun in these trying times of no new Apothesosis episodes? Wanna get together with other toxic yuri fans to make something swag? This post is to let you know that sign-ups are now open for the Eldritchstrings Event - an event centered on Exandroth and Rumi!!

This event is solely being run by @burning-sol (me) and @exandr0th-0f-viscera (my headmate). It probably won't be that large-scale, and we'll be kind of loose with management as we get an idea of what the members involved want from the event in terms of development and a final product. Our biggest rules are to HAVE FUN and TRY YOUR BEST!! If you don't feel like you're having fun, then this event is officially so joever.

If you're interested, please read through everything after the cut, the Sign-Up Form's link is at the end!! Sign-ups close November 16th.

Who can join?

If I've blocked you that's probably a bad sign... Obviously. But other than that, no limitations we can think of! Just know that Xander and I are pro-endo and pro-mspec lesbians; so if that gives you the impression you wouldn't gel well with the group, it's best to steer clear. All we ask of our participants is that they'll...!

Communicate clearly, and consciously try to take others in good faith.

At the least tolerate their cohorts if they can't outright get along with them.

AND, most importantly, they'll reach out to us if there are any issues!! It is no bother and it's actively better for the collective if you're open about anything that may have come up :3

What's the estimated time frame?

Sign-Ups close November 16th! ..however, the time frame for development and publishing will be up to participants to decide - with that process of consultation concluding before 2025.

At the LATEST the deadline for the works themselves will be July 31st, which will leave time for the editors to finesse the final product and publish it August 27th... (the anniversary of the first Eldritchstrings post!) So if you think you could make something by July 31st, even if you're initially busy, join the sign-ups!

If you miss it you will NOT be let into the event late, unfortunately. But no worries, because if the event goes well then there's a high probability another will be held in the future! :D

What contributions are we looking for?

Firstly, anyone who can help with visual design, editing, accessibility and publishing otherwise would be appreciated! There's also room for people who have general experience overseeing events and/or those who would like to help with promotion.

There will also (potentially) be groups, so if all you wanna do is hang around in case a pinch-hitter is needed, you can do that!

In terms of those submitting work to the event, ANY form of art goes! You may want to submit something like...

Fan-fiction, poetry, essays..

Illustrations, comics…

Banners, blinkies, icons…

Moodboards, stimboards, webweaves..

Textiles, cosplay, photography…

Edits, animations, PMVs, AMVs…

Original music, playlists…

Coding, games, 3D works…

Or whatever other weird and unique things you can think of…!

Romantic, platonic, situationship... Angst, comedy, abstract works, complete bullshit… Canon, non-canon, post-canon, somewhere in between… All is welcome so long at it centers on Exandroth and Rumi!!

Our ONLY limitations are that we will NOT be allowing any erotica, and no portrayal of genitalia in terms of artistic nudity! If you are otherwise unsure your work would be allowed, feel free to ask about it!

Also! Works that are exclusive to the event would be super cool, but you can submit older art or continue to work on something from your already existing WIPs if you'd like! The only catch is that you wouldn't be able to resubmit those to any future events... So if you're okay with that, go on ahead!

..and that's about it!

Make sure you've read over this and any relevant posts on this blog thoroughly. Participants will gather in a Discord server, the invites of which will be distributed via Tumblr PMs from this blog. If you're chill with everything stated above, here's the sign-up form!!

-> SIGN UP HERE <-

Note: We will not be personally promoting this event to other social medias, but you have our permission to share this sign-up with Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc!!

Nevermoor 5

Boy Band Au!

I haven't posted in a while since I've been focusing on multiple projects, so please forgive me 💕

My relationship to Slashfic has been rocky these past updates. I publicly will state I don't support creators of this story after events that happened on the Dorian discord server.

I loved what Slashfic was and what it meant to me. Its characters always will hold a place in my heart.

I am focusing on my own Slashfic inspired UNNOFICIAL ASF spin-off. I will also be posting art that was meant for a private project with select artists. I have Slashfic art that needs to be posted and I care about my community too much.

I really do hope that you guys enjoy Capeside as that will be most of my focus and possibly opening up commissions as well once I make my card as I have set my prices 💫

All the news aside, if you are intrepid in Nevermoor 5's lore, I may come back to this side piece eventually, enjoy!

Mike / The Heartthrob

Fans love this beautiful man and the vocals attached to him! Often has a flock of groupies begging to be the next lucky one to get a chance. He loves to contribute to song writing with Damien!

Leather / The Older Brother

Leather brings a mature presence! He offers guidance so the other younger members don't get taken advantage of. When Barnaby is getting too big for his britches, Leather is usually talking him down.

Jay / The Baby Face

Jay loves to interact with fans! He thinks the audience is more important than the band itself. He loves to put on a show and meet all the cuties backstage and guaranteed given the time of day by Jay!

Ghost / The Bad Boy

Head dancer who plans all of the choreography with help from Jay! Since Leather is the stiffest member Joey takes his time out to get Leather more comfortable with his body and movement. The boys practice dancing just about everyday and all of them can appreciate how fluid and swift Ghost can be in both masculine and feminine dances.

Damien / The Quiet One

Does most of the songwriting with help from Mike. Surprisingly, these two get along fairly well and can even be seen harmonizing or text each other samples.

Barnaby / The Fuckass Manager

Girl fuck him. He's so Greedy and fucked in the head I hate him. He tries to fuck over the boys all the time but Leather sets him straight.

Rugby prongsfoot please!!

Yeeeees!!! I was hoping someone asks about this because... all I wanna do is talk about it (when I should be writing it - someone smack me). So this is another fic that was supposed to be written for a fest (I keep failing at all these deadlines, don't I?). This one was a prompt for Padfootfest last year, but I'm determined to finish it because I'm eternally obsessed with the idea. There were many prompts I wanted to write for in the fest, but the moment claiming went up, I had a random chat with some people on James' discord server about a particular prongsfoot prompt

Marauders host wet t-shirt contest.

where I ended up saying, very innocently, that during the contest everyone is surprised to find out Sirius has a secret nipple piercings. And that's how I was recruited to write it. At first the idea was pretty simple, but as it often goes with my ideas, they spiral, so we ended up with a universe where James and Sirius are childhood friends who end up at different unis, playing for different uni rugby teams. They meet one autumn at Sirius' uni where a rugby charity wet t-shirt contest is held. Of course, James and Sirius are glad to see each other, the event is fun and they have a friendly competition going on between each other the whole time. All would have been fine and dandy. But the thing is, since forever James has been having a sexuality crisis featuring Sirius which is only exasperated by a surprise discovery - Sirius has pierced his nipples and never told him about this. As we all imagine, it does things to James. Which might not be a problem per se, but James has a girlfriend back home (sorry Lils). In the end, in his crisis he succumbs to his weakness. Things happen. But hey, what happens at charity rugby events stays at charity rugby events, or more importantly what happens in the locker room showers with your best mate stays there too. Featuring big rugby boys prongsfoot, steamy intercrural, nipple play, lots of guilt (cheating), lots of shame (James is NOT gay), and lots of confusion. A couple happy, clueless event participants who get to go on a date with the rugby boys in exchange for a little monetary contribution, while the said boys think of nothing else but the sex they've just had together.

Anyway... pray for me. I don't have much written, it's just bits and pieces here and there, but this idea is rotting my brain and it is not coming off my wip list because it has all my favourite things and it-needs-to-happen. If I can't find time for this in summer, I might do a self-prompt for the Padfootfest this year.

I am SO EXCITED for the 4th Annual #Azirafeast, The Feast Day of the Angel Aziraphale, an inclusive fandom event! It’s celebrated November 19th and is a made-up holiday that brings the community together, regardless of how a person participates in fandom.

On November 19th, everyone is welcome to celebrate the Feast Day of Aziraphale by drinking cocoa and wine, eating good food, reading, being stylish on their own terms, enjoying the company of friends and embracing the spirit of Aziraphale! Please share your pics on socials with #Azirafeast!

Creators are encouraged to show Aziraphale indulging in what makes him happy or why you love him (canon or fanon!) Create “Lore” for why Aziraphale has a feast day! What miracles throughout history has he performed? Creations can be dramatic, serious, sexy or silly!

All forms of creation are welcome: Draw, write, sing, act, sew, bake, cosplay or anything else! However YOU want to appreciate our favorite angel. All variations, versions and representations of Aziraphale are welcome on the feast of Aziraphale.

Anything tagged #Azirafeast or I will reblog, the same for Instagram and Twitter. I’ve had a permanent highlight on my Instagram for the last 3 years, and maintained this tumblr. Check out what others have made for previous years!

There is also an AO3 Collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Azirafeast

Anything added to it I will promote on my socials for #azirafeast.

I know I don’t have the biggest following, but the idea is that on the feast of Aziraphale even fans who don’t have a large social media presence will still be seen, still have their experiences noticed, and will feel part of a community that cares.

Folk can get stressed about creating by a “due date.” I encourage folk to post early if they want, and to keep posting after Nov 19 if they miss the day or don’t finish in time. Aziraphale procrastinated on preventing the apocalypse, you’re just embracing that energy!

And remember, you don’t have to “make” anything to participate. Eating cake and lying to your boss is a great way to celebrate! Confuse some customers, watch a nature documentary, get drunk, be kind to someone (Muriel) who is new but trying their best!

Just make sure to tag your contributions with either #azirafeast so we can celebrate with you! Please feel welcome to take my words and reshare anyway that you like, and make your own posts to generate awareness! Please do share in any fandom communities you’re a part of, or feel free to try to convince people IRL this is totally a real holiday.

I do not run, own, control or anything of the sort in regards to #azirafeast. The idea came from Cliopadra and a private discord server, and the brilliant folk there picked the date and ran with it. I encourage folk to participate because I think it’s a lovely idea! It is NOT “mine.”

We're all so quick to reblog these posts about keeping fandom spaces alive, but look at the Rammstein fandom, look at it! 😭 It's getting quiet and nobody wants to admit it. 😓 Everyone is just quietly lurking or waiting for someone else to do something and it's heartbreaking!Same cycle, different fandom. 😣 We say we care, but we don't engage, we don't reblog, we don't hype each other up anymore! Some just resort to like posts as if they were on instagram! No reblogs! Some blogs that used to be so active just vanished! Where are they? 😭 We need to actually show up if we don't want this space to disappear like so many others! Thank god at least you and some other blogs still post content! 😭 I'm not aa creator, but I try to reblog everything with commentary, but it's getting increasingly frustrating because I'm screaming into the void😭😭😭

Hi 👋🏻

I guess this is in regards to this post.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I suppose it depends on how you look at the matter. Allow me to describe my impression:

I entered this fandom on here in 2015 and spent some time here. It was admittedly very lively, very open — lots of people reblogged things with their thoughts added in the caption (which admittedly isn’t as common anymore, at least from what I’ve noticed). There was a lot of joy and excitement when Rammstein in Amerika and Rammstein in Paris came to theatres.

And after I came back to Tumblr, I witnessed the same excitement for the tours in the last two years! Which isn’t surprising, considering the tons of new concert material we got in the form of official reels and pictures, as well as the vast amount of fan videos (which was absolutely not a given during the festival tours, mind you).

I’m not sure I share the view of the Rammstein fandom as stated in that ask, but I do understand the feeling of looking back wistfully and yearning for more excitement, joy, and togetherness. Surely, the activity on here isn’t as high as during the tours, but I think that’s only natural.

Let’s not forget that there are various reasons for reduced activity:

– No new material: no tour or other events this year, so there’s not much new apart from a few selfies of the band members. Reblogging and posting older content is always nice and plays into the bittersweet emotion of nostalgia, but even I can’t spend my whole day on it.

– Real life happens! Plus there are different focus points in life. The members of this fandom don’t only exist on this little platform. They have family, work, responsibilities, friends, worries, and things to deal with, as well as offline hobbies and other fandoms they’re part of — which is a good thing! There’s a risk of becoming too absorbed in one thing when there’s no variety. I can only speak for myself, but I also find joy outside of Rammstein in other areas of interest. Which is nice, life’s too short to miss out on all the fascinating topics this world has to offer.

– Other fan spaces: Instagram seems to have a considerably large Rammstein fandom, and there’s a fairly active (I think) Discord server for this fandom here as well. Some people just need a change of pace when it comes to platforms sometimes.

And yet — we’re still here. We have wonderful and incredibly skilled artists who spoil us with beautiful Rammstein art. We have very talented and creative fanfic authors among us who bring the band to life in various scenarios. We have diligent gif-makers who pick out funny and striking moments for us to stare at endlessly.

As someone without an ounce (!) of creativity in my body, I deeply appreciate all of them, as well as every single person in this fandom. Every like, reblog, and written thought — whether it’s opinions or thirst — contributes to keeping this fandom alive. 🤍

It’s always good to encourage more engagement — I totally get you! But I don’t think this fandom is in any danger of dying out anytime soon. At least from the blogs I interact with and based on my dash, there's quite a lot of activity happening. Maybe not as much as there used to; yet perhaps it will be more if we get new content ✨
