Jingzhe: Awakening of Insects Free Zine Release

This​ multifandom/original zine, featuring 40+ pages of art and writing, is all about bugs! Jīngzhé means "awakening of the hibernating insects," and it's the third solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar. It signifies the coming of spring, as well as the return of the bugs that love hiding in the corners of your ceilings.

​This Jingzhe (March 5th, 2025), we hope to bring some of that spring warmth through an arthropod-themed zine full of the little critters that represent life on Earth.

Check it out here (read it as a two-page spread here) and be sure to support the artists and writers who were a part of this project :)

Alien Stage Valentine's Exchange ♡ 2025 Signups Open!

[Event Info 💘] // [Signups 💟]

an @ensquare-events project ✿ rbs appreciated! ✿ view blog as website

Instead of a typical secret gift exchange, VALnst artists and writers will be paired up in "matches" of two (maybe more) participants who have similar ship/wishlist preferences. They'll be able to chat with and create gifts for each other, but works must be kept secret until they're revealed on February 14th!

The event will be centered on Valentine's Day and love, but it doesn't have to be inherently romantic; we welcome content of solo characters, platonic pairings/group dynamics, rarepairs, AUs, and more! We're also down for other kinds of creative gifts and mediums, so don't hesitate to send us an ask if you want to create something unconventional <3

If you'd like to learn more about how this exchange works, read the info post on our page (also linked above). When you're ready, sign up and the form will give you a link to join the event Discord server. We hope to see you soon!

Aaand scene! This brings us to the end of the 2024 ES Secret Santa. It was a pleasure working with you all, and your finished pieces are amazing! Be proud of yourself :)

The gifts reblogged here are tagged with the names of the characters included (e.g. #subaru akehoshi), units preceded by "enstars" (e.g. #enstars undead), ships that may apply (e.g. #wataei), and if it's #femstars. Meta tags are #ensanta art and #ensanta fic for your browsing convenience, and we have an AO3 collection for fics.

Future ES/multifandom fan projects will be located at @ensquare-events for your convenience, so stay tuned! Our next project may or may not be an art/writing speedrun for Lunar New Year...

Mod Techa will also be running @valienstage, an Alien Stage Valentine's Day gift exchange (more info coming soon)

Thank you for joining us, and whether you participated this time or not, we hope to see you next year in the 2025 run~✧
