Beckory Fanweek 2025

HELLO beckory nation! in celebration of a lot of beckory fans returning recently and also sotm releasing and opening up opportunities for 1. book character content on par with sotms and 2. a ggy game (because of all of the hints and evidence), I (@puhpandas) am hosting a beckory week!

this is the first beckory fanweek, but some of y'all might be familiar with this kind of week format from my first ggy week (2024). here's some important information about how the week will go. Please read all of it:

It'll run from 8/17-8/24 (August), giving over a month of time from this posts publish date to preemptively make works for the week

The prompts are two word prompts, this time having a 2nd similar word that technically means the same thing but could also be used as more leverage for creative liberties, along with an AU prompt. the prompts are not very strict and actively encourage creative liberties and unique ideas. don't let them scare you too much!

you don't have to stick to just one prompt per day! if you want to choose two or even do all three you can totally do that. you could even do something like combining prompts (as long as they're in the same day) or using another prompt from the same day to influence ur work, even if it's for a different prompt

The AU prompts are not for any already existing AU by me or someone else. they're standalone popular aus for ships/character relationships often used in fandom. they're very self explanatory in their names. once again, not too strict and you can do whatever creative things you want regarding the words.

You don't have to make a work for every single day. this week is just for fun, please don't force yourself to make things if you don't want to or will get burnt out. just posting for 1 day is just as acceptable as posting for all 7!

You will be posting the works on the respective day to its prompt. Example: A prompt from day 1 will be posted on day 1 only

Please tag every post with the tag #beckory week 2025 and MOST IMPORTANTLY tag this account!! I need to be tagged to be able to see and reblog!!

DONT BE A FREAK. no NSFW or suggestive allowed. make sure if you draw something like kissing, that it is NOT overly suggestive or passionate, even if they are aged up. this goes for writing descriptions too. remember that these characters are 12 years old at the end of the day. be normal about them please. I am allowed to discount/not reblog any submission that is deemed inappropriate. I will be strict because of how this is a ship between 2 minors. it shouldnt be hard to follow these guidelines anyway

⬆️on this note, any things that could be someone's phobia please tag accordingly. like blood, death, gore, etc. for anyone with phobias, I will tag even if OPs dont

I will be reblogging every submission post for the week on this blog. posting ur work on other sites is perfectly okay. I'll be tagging each submission with tags like #day 1, #prompt and #character. this is for the sake of navigation on this blog once the week is over and all submissions are reblogged

and the final rule: Enjoy and have fun!! like I said, this week is just for fun and shouldn't be taken overly seriously. the prompts aren't very strict and I encourage creativity. that being said please don't just completely stray from the prompt list and do something not related at all. try and keep it relevant. this goes for characters too. this is a BECKORY week, please don't submit something that doesn't even include Gregory and Tony

HAVE FUN BECKORY NATION!

Re: TROLLS 🧌

The reason I am posting about these accounts is to show how this can follow the same route as a PR misdirection. Always always be skeptical!!!

It's the same 'ole same 'ole. Here are the tip offs:

• Two new "Lukola" accounts came up in the last 24 hrs. They have no other posts before yesterday & today. (See posts below)

• Every single post mentions me and how awful I am; It's been a slew of manic posts mainly from 2 accounts, one right after the other within less than 24 hrs. and the accounts like/ comment on each other's posts.

• They've created other fake accounts to comment and respond. It's not 2, 3 or 4 different people, it's not a new wave of haters - it's the same person, smdh, trying to create social proof. (Hey, at least when A does it, she has L make his friends & family do it for real. 🤦‍♀️)

•Their own verbiage outs them. "Fia just blocked another account". How would they know who I blocked unless they created all these accounts? And they've allegedly been on my Discord server but I've never had a Discord server. IF I've chatted one on one in Discord dms (doubtful) they obviously created another fake account.

• This reiterates what we've all been seeing when it comes to Lukola misdirections and/ or Jakola trolls - Accounts pop up out of nowhere, have a singular agenda and masquerade as friendly but are really SUS AF.

NOTE: I do actually pity this person and do encourage people to take care of their mental health in all sincerity. The world is tough and self care is never more important, as is empathy.

Lastly, I don't respond to trolls. I block them and move on. I guess me ignoring them got too much, seeing as some of the other Lukola bloggers will occasionally reply w/ a get the F off my blog or bitch, please. Lol. They can tell you it goes in waves and trust, it's never respectful!!!

I don't post the outrageous, hateful Asks I've had from the start of my blog. I know @frantastical remembers one in particular who would pretend she was a Lukola follower and then proceed to submit a hateful Anon Ask, or 10. And I know many of you remember the troll from Suffer's discord who is beyond hateful.

So I apologize if some of you have been blocked if I thought you were a fake account/ troll but when it's 50-50, I err on the side of caution and block. When it's a misunderstanding, most of you will write to me and explain, so I appreciate that!!! I will always respond to someone sincerely reaching out. Again, this just tells you how much Lukolas are correct, how they know we are and how they'd love a piece of our confidence & faith in Lukola, knowing that all in time, time will reveal...

(This was all but a soft launch)

Oh, and one last thing - I'll never ask you to block anyone or hate on anyone. We are all free to make our own decisions and conduct ourselves as we wish!

The posts - all w/ in the last 24 hrs and all geared at hate toward me/ Lukolas ⏬️

Intro Post, updated January 16, 2025.

Due to the unfortunate level of scam requests I have received, I no longer reblog donation or fundraiser requests from blogs I do not recognize. Don't follow me just to submit a signal boost request. I notice, & I will just delete your ask and block you.

No, that doesn't mean I think you, personally, are a scammer. I just don't have the hours in my day to sift through the number of asks I get and verify them, so if I don't recognize someone from prior interaction, I just won't do it. Yes, I agree. It does suck that shitty people have made this necessary.

I post all other asks as they were submitted, with the exception of fundraisers from blogs I don't recognize. I answer at my whim and not upon demand. I will never honor requests to answer asks privately or anonymously. Anon is never turned on. These are hard self-care boundaries. Please block the tag "harassment tag" if you don't want to see to some of the horrible shit I get sent sometimes.

I will only reblog/repost/boost a given fundraiser once every 7 days. Period. Sending me more asks will not change that. If you only interact with me to ask for signal boosts, I'll just block you with no response. That is the only exception to my "post all asks" policy. I am a person, not a public resource. Don't make me feel used. It's exhausting.

If you like what I do, please consider hiring me, buying something from my company, NerdyKeppie, buying me a coffee, becoming a Patron or tossing some money in my PayPal tip jar. I am a disabled, queer, Jewish, non-binary butch, and those sources plus freelance writing are my entire income.

Here is the cast of many of the frequently-mentioned entities in my posts.

I will not debate my identity with anyone. I am a transmasculine non-binary butch lesbian, a cripple, a dyke, and lots of other things, too. You don't get a vote in that, and if any of those words are words you object to someone using in reference to himself, block me. I won't censor my identity for your comfort; it took a lot of hard work over decades to become proud of who I am.

ACAB includes gender/sexuality cops. You aren't the mayor of Dyketown or the burgermeister of Transberg, so fuck off.

Mom is a job title to me. I'm okay with being called Mama Spider, but no other feminine terms.

No, I am not an anti or an anti-anti. Leave me alone.

No, I won't DM you.

No, I won't answer your question about Israel.

No, I won't talk to you about I/P.

Nothing above the above two things means anything other than that I don't talk about those things online.

Don't project your shit onto me. I do not consent to being your straw man.

I will not perform Good Jew or Good Queer on demand, whatever that means to you in this instant. Fuck off.

Yes, I've been out for a very long time. No, I'm not interested in being lectured by people half my age over shit that happened when you weren't alive yet.

"Man bad/woman good" is regressive TERF/right-wing shit, it doesn't matter how you dress it up. Knock it off.

Curate your own experiences. If you don't like seeing what I write, then add 'vaspider' to your "filtered content" list, and don't bother me about it. Tumblr is a 17+ environment, and I am not responsible for you seeing things you don't like. My daughter and stepkid are both old enough to drink. I raised my kids. I'm not raising you or any other kids.

Anyone who tries to turn you on your fellow workers or trans people or queer people or fellow Jews is doing the work of fascists for them. Act accordingly.

My icon has lore, apparently.

I never answer asks privately and anon is never turned on.

🌟Profile Pic Art Contest🌟

Hello, and welcome!! Today is May 6th, the first day of the yearly PFP Art Contest, and also my 21st birthday!! To celebrate, I'm going to be hoisting an art contest with prizes to the winners!!

What is the PFP Art Contest?

The Profile Pic Art Contest, or the PFP Contest is an event where all you wonderful TMNT artists get the chance to draw me a new profile pic, and win prizes!! The winning art piece will be my new PFP for the full year until the next PFP Contest!

The PFP Contest will run from May 6th, through June 6th, and on June 7th, I'll announce the winner!!

How does this work, and how to participate?

A week ago, I had you all vote in a poll, deciding which turtle you'd all prefer. And this years winner is Donatello!!

From the start of the contest, to the end, you'll post your art, and tag me so I can reblog it, kind of like how a DTIYS works.

As this year's turtle is Donatello, that's who you'll all be drawing. The theme for this contest is reading, (as this blog is a fanfic blog) meaning, the turtle you choose to draw, from any of the three iterations (Rottmnt, TMNT 2012, & Mutant Mayhem/Tottmnt) MUST be reading!!!!

To participate, you don't need to follow me, or know me, or even have ever interacted with my blog. You simply have to follow the rules, draw a turtle reading, and tag me!! Everyone is welcome, and anyone can win!!

🌟The Prizes for the Winners!!🌟

1st Place: Your artwork will be used as my new PFP for the rest of the year (with credit of course ^^). You get one free beta read reserved for one chapter of a TMNT fanfiction you're writing!! If you are unsure what a beta read is, please check this post for details. Lastly, you get one fic of your choice added to the Fanfic List Masterpost ahead of all the fics in my inbox!!

2nd Place: You get one free proof read reserved for one chapter of a TMNT fanfiction you're writing!! If you are unsure what a proof read is, please check this post for details. Lastly, you get one fic of your choice added to the Fanfic List Masterpost ahead of all the fics in my inbox!!

3rd Place: You get one fic of your choice added to the Fanfic List Masterpost ahead of all the fics in my inbox!!

Please note, if you aren't a writer, and you have no chapters to use your free beta/proof reads on, you can gift this to your favorite author!!

All artists who participated will have their artwork featured in a special thanks post, with full credit, at the end of the event!!

Rules, and further details under the cut ^^

What are the rules?

You can only draw Donatello for this years contest. Doesn't matter the iteration (Rottmnt, TMNT 2012, or Mutant Mayhem/Tottmnt). And he must be drawn reading!! Doesn't matter what; a comic, a book, on the phone, but he HAS to be reading. This is a fanfic blog after all!!

2. Artwork MUST be square!! Otherwise I can't use it!! Size doesn't matter as much, as tumblr seems to let me use any image I'd like. But it has to be square.

3. Has to be a canon iteration turtle. No fan iterations. As much as I'd love that, lets keep it to only canon to keep it fair. Future turtles, and design headcanons are allowed though!!

4. You may submit up to three pieces!! One per iteration!

5. No NSFW, no suggestive art, and no T-cest!!

6. No AI art, EVER. That will get you banned from not just the contest, but from my blog. We love and respect hardworking artists here!! <3

7. No mean or rude behavior to other artists <3

8. Art can be from any dynamic, any color palette, any setting. Have fun, and really explore your creative options!!

9. No romantic pieces please.

What I'm looking for in art

Fully finished pieces, i.e. fully rendered, or fully colored in.

Single turtle, not multiples.

Any media of art!! Traditional, digital, I love it all! <3

Any age of turtle. Tots, teens, future turtles, they're all welcome!

Any lighting, or setting. Have fun!!

Creativity!!

Backgrounds are encouraged!! Doesn't matter the type ^^

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Everyone is encouraged to participate!! And I mean, EVERYONE!! So go ahead, share, reblog, and tag friends!!

If any of you have questions, please ask them down below in the comments so if any others are curious and/or have the same questions, they'll be able to see the answers.

For reference, this is my current PFP ^^

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I look forwards to seeing what kinds of beautiful and stunning art you all create!! <3<3<3

Cate's Creation Celebration

Hello and welcome to my first ever writing event! 🫣😅😨😵

My birthday happens to fall the day before Walpurgis Night. Where I'm from we celebrate with friends, watching bonfires, listening to choirs and getting absolutely shitfaced. So we're going to combine that with the myth and folklore of Walpurgis Night and have ourselves a creation celebration! Are you going to confess to your best friend by the flames of the fire, or are you going to get snared by a dark warlock?

There are two parts of this! A writing event and submitting a writing request. For both you need to be +18 to participate. There needs to be some indication of your age in the bio of your blog.

If you want to submit a writing request, you can find the form here. Your askbox needs to be open to be able to participate. Read the rules in the form before submitting.

If you want to participate in the writing event please see the details below!

General details

The writing event is open to the end of May (but I'll accept late entries)

All entries will be put into an event masterlist.

Rules

I read for Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans and sometimes Henry Cavill characters. I'm open to reading other fandoms but no RPF.

Only reader-insert fics. Please use inclusive language and tag accordingly so everyone can have fun!

You don't have to claim a prompt but please keep to the theme of the event.

10k maximum word limit. Please put your fic under a cut after a reasonable amount of words!

Your fic can be part of a series but must be able to be read as a standalone piece.

No fucking AI fics.

No incest, grooming, underage, watersports/scat, vomit, necrophilia, cannibalism, bestiality or similar types of yucky stuff.

Otherwise works can be any genre (fluff, smut, angst ect), just make sure to include appropriate warnings. I do reserve the right to not read and/or reblog something that makes me uncomfortable. I'm not much for really dark fics or whump.

If you only post to AO3 then please send me a link or something so I don't miss it!

Tag @veltana when you post your fic and include #catescreationcelebration in the tags!

Here are some prompts to get the wheels turning!

Dialogue (you're free to change tense):

"Did you put a spell on me!?"

"If magic made wishes come true, what would you wish for?"

"Are you alone out here?"

"You have no idea what forces you're playing with."

"I can't pretend anymore."

"I'm doing this for you!"

"I'm not supposed to fall for someone like you."

"It's really hot."

"Our love will either save the world or doom it."

"Is that a pentagram?"

"Don't tempt me."

"You're not supposed to be here."

"You're adorable."

"Do you feel it? The pull between us?"

"Ugh, I hate this!"

"I'm not just your protector, I'm bound to you."

"I'm really cold."

"I warned you, being near me comes with a price."

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

"You're the only light in my dark world."

"I gave up my soul for you."

"I've always wanted to summon a demon."

"You deserve to know."

"I've heard your voice in my dreams."

"The moon has whispered your name to me."

"Oh... oh!"

"I can give you anything you desire, but there is a price."

"Who are you?"

Mionn's art & writing ship trade event

(Click the art for better quality!)

I'm hosting an art & writing event centered around ships & duos (multifandom)!

🖤 REBLOGS ARE SUPER APPRECIATED

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

I've recently reached 200 followers on this blog, 900 on my meme blog, and 100 on Instagram!! Honestly, I don't even know what to say... I feel so damn honored and am so grateful for the support!! 🖤🖤🙏

As a multi-milestone celebration as well as an event for the official Spade of Storms (Deuce x Allen) day, which is on the 27th of July, I decided to host a TRADE EVENT!!!

Basically, this event is going to be an open art/writing trade that's all about ships (or platonic duos).

The event starts on 7/23 (today) and lasts for rest of July as well as for the entirety of August. For every Allen x Deuce art/writing that I receive during this duration, you get one of your own ship from ANY FANDOM back!

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Why am I hosting this?

it's a way to thank everyone for three different follower milestones

a contest/DTIYS/raffle wouldn't promise that everyone gets something back, so I went for a trade event

the event allows me to post more about other canon TWST characters and draw them while not having to neglect Allen x Deuce

I wanna make new mutuals & friends, get to know more ships, and strengthen friendships with mutuals I already have!

Artfight is/was tons of fun, but I only do/did colored sketches there & ships are a tricky subject. Meanwhile, I'll do ANYTHING here!

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Basic information:

Make a drawing/writing/comic of Allen x Deuce. (Ideas can be found in this post's pink "starters for my ship" section.)

Post it on your blog, tag me in it, and refer to my event. (While posting is by far preferred — especially for bigger artworks and written stuff — you can also just DM it to me.)

In return, you'll receive a gift of the same type for your own ship from any fandom (OC x canon, canon x canon, OC x OC)! I'll DM you about the ship, so make sure that your DMs are open.

For example: If you submit a sketch, you'll get a sketch back. If you submit a fully shaded drawing, I'II make a fully shaded drawing for you, too. If you add a background, I'll (do my best to) do the same. If you write a drabble... You know the drill!

ANYONE can join, whether you follow me or not! However, new followers through the event are super appreciated!

EVENT TIME: July 23th (today) - August 31st

Anything submitted before or after this event duration will not receive anything back (unless we explicitly do a trade), but be held in high regard nonetheless!

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤��♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Rules:

The portrayal of Allen x Deuce must be shippy/romantic.

Please keep angst at a minimum unless it has a happy ending. Comfort is allowed.

Please DO NOT add your own OC or another canon character to the submission. Including them in the background as a wingman or something is alright, though. Additionally, any kind of romantic implications between Deuce and another character/OC are NOT allowed.

Please no NSFW. Harmless implications and slight spice are okay, but keep in mind that these characters are both minors.

AUs are very much allowed! All the previous rules apply here, too, and I'm willing to give an overview of some AUs via DMs.

Please no genderbending.

Please DO NOT draw Allen or Deuce as a standalone character. This is a SHIP event for a reason.

Please don't change their appearances too much, especially when it comes to the color schemes & body types.

Giving them different outfits — especially event outfits — is absolutely cool (yes, you can draw Allen in a skirt if you wanna), and changing their hairstyles is okay as long as they still look like themselves.

This is NOT A DTIYS event, so please DO NOT redraw one of my Allen x Deuce arts. Please come up with something original.

If you have any more questions, please DM me!

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

What CAN you submit?

drawings // comics // writings // animatics

For drawings, anything from a quick sketch to an extremely detailed drawing with a background is allowed! You'll get something of the same quality back. The same also goes for writings/fanfics.

Animatics will receive a drawing in return.

What CAN'T be submitted?

Gacha videos // edits // memes

-> You can theoretically submit all of these and I'd appreciate them, but I wouldn't be able to give you anything back.

Memes refer to funny pictures that simply have Allen & Deuce's faces in them. DRAWN memes/meme redraws count as DRAWINGS.

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Starters for Allen x Deuce

Got no clue what to draw/write about?

Check out the few already existing Allen x Deuce posts on this blog for proper lore and facts.

Check @spade-of-storms for fun facts, shorter rambles and additional info.

In any case, you can't go wrong with simple fluffy, romantic scenarios! Dates, kisses, cuddles, whatever!

For information about Allen himself, please check my pinned post.

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Q&A:

I want to join the event, but I don't have any ship (OC x canon, canon x canon, OC x OC) you could draw/write about for me in return.

That's okay! In that case, I'll gladly draw/write about two separate characters or a platonic duo for you.

Can I do multiple submissions for this event?

Obviously, and every single one will be "revenged"!

Can I get something of another type/quality back? For example, can I get a fully shaded drawing for my sketch, or art for my drabble?

Unfortunately not, as I prefer to always give something of the same type back. There are only the following two exceptions that I AM willing to do:

you do a drabble/oneshot —> I do a sketch

you do any type of art —> I write a drabble/oneshot

Is there anything you refuse to draw/write about?

Deuce ships (other than Deuce x Allen). NSFW. Family x family. Minor x adult. Any ship considered to be problematic.

How do I tell you about the ship I want you to draw/write about for me?

I'll DM you after you post your event submissions.

Do you prefer to do OC x canon, canon x canon, or OC x OC?

I have a bias towards OC x canon and canon x canon ships. However, I'm willing to do any ship that's not problematic! In the case of OC x OC, I simply need you to provide information on two OCs instead of one only.

Will you do poly ships?

In order to keep things fair, no. But I could include the third party as a plush or chibi head.

I want to make Allen x Deuce content for you, but not receive anything in return.

That's also super appreciated anytime (and totally doesn't make me freak out /pos)! Simply share it as a gift and don't mention the event.

How long is it going to take you to finish your "revenge" on me?

It depends on the type of submission you make & what I'm giving you back. Some things can be done within a day while others may take much longer, but either way, you WILL get something of the SAME TYPE back & that's guaranteed.

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Personal notes:

My health isn't the best and I also have a job. Please be respectful and don't rush me nor get mad when I'm being slow.

Please do not start a discussion nor get mad at me if I refuse to draw/write about a ship I deem problematic & want you to pick another one instead. Preferably pick a ship that's by far NOT problematic from the beginning.

I'm unwilling to draw/write about any Deuce ships other than Deuce x Allen because I kin Deuce a ton and tend to feel uncomfortable with many of his ships, so please don't ask for any. I'm asking you to not start a discussion over this, either.

I won't post everything I make for the event on this blog. Sketches and writings will either be DMed to you or posted on one of my other blogs.

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

That's it for now! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to DM me.

And again, thank you so much for 200 followers!

♤ Happy trading! ♤

"Why won't you just let me set up on a date? You literally complained on insta earlier about having no one," your friend, Rose, questioned you. You sighed, rolling your eyes at her repeated remarks about introducing you to someone.

"One: you suck at picking blind dates. And two: I don't wanna go on a date with one of your boyfriend's friends," you pointly told her. You loved your best friend but her taste in men for you was trash. You quickly and simply learned that after a few of her curated blind dates in college.

"Okay, rude."

"Not when it's the truth," you countered back, looking back at the facetime with a raised eyebrow. "Seriously, I don't know what type of of guy you think I like. But it has not been any of the ones you've tried to introduce me to before." She huffed, pouting and mumbling under her breath at your words.

"If it'd help, I would be the one picking," Jiwoong, her boyfriend, interjected. Peeking the corner of his head into the phone screen's view.

"Not really. No offense, but I don't think we know each other that well Jiwoong."

He shook his head, smiling "None taken."

"I hate to do this..." your best friend trailed her words off and you sighed knowing the exact card she was gonna pull. "But I think I'm gonna have to." She paused, making serious eye contact with you. You watched as she jutted her bottom lip out in an exaggerated manner, wobbling it for further effect. "Please!~ Please!~" she started begging, puppy eyes in full effect.

You scoffed, rolling your eyes in a playful manner "That won't work this time." Jiwoong laughed, the heart in his eyes obvious as he looked over at Rose. He turned back to the facetime, still laughing as he brought his hands. Jiwoong began shaking them, joining Rose in her pleads to you. You pressed your lips together, slightly scrunching your nose as you held back a smile.

"Seriously please, Y/N. And if it goes wrong, then I'll never set you up with someone ever again," Rose spoke. She lifted three of her fingers up, placing them over the left side of her chest. "Scout's honor," Rose promised as Jiwoong copied her actions, nodding along as he did so.

"You were never a scout so you better keep your word," you say begrudgingly, ignoring the way Rose lets out a small cheer at your words. She turns to Jiwoong, clapping hands with him in celebration, knowing that you've given in to their request. "I mean it. The both of you. This goes bad: no more," you told them, pointing at them for emphasis.

"Of course." They nodded vigorously, wide smiles on their faces at their success.

"Thank you," you whispered to the hostess as you sat at the table. You looked around in awe at the restaurant; it was the fanciest place you've ever been to for a date. From the corner of your eye, you caught the hostess coming back around. A familiar raven-haired male following behind her turning the other patrons' heads. Understandably though, how often did anyone come across a celebrity in public. You blinked in disbelief as the hostess guided him closer to your table. Surprise growing further as they stopped next to you.

"Sorry. You didn't wait long, right?" he asked as he joined you.

"Matthew?!" You questioned, your voice raising slightly in your shock. You apologetically looked around before returning your attention back to the male in front of you.

"Y/N?!?" he copied you, his mouth hanging open in mock shock at you.

"You know my name? How?"

Matthew starred at you with an emotion you couldn't place. His eyes scanning your face as his mouth grew into a slow smile. "You're Y/N, right? Rose's friend?" he asked you with furrowed eyebrows, the smile still on his face. You nodded faintly, having begin to recover from your shock. You cleared your throat before speaking once again.

"Yes, um sorry. Yes, I am. My bad...I was just-" you stopped as you looked into Matthew's wide eyes. "I just wasn't expecting you, you know," you continued. You smiled as Matthew laughed, the atmosphere light around the two of you as your giggles joined his. Your heart fluttering warmly at Matthew's good nature.

FANFIC/FANART CONTEST (Money Prize)

!!!!BEFORE CONTINUING: For my U.S participants, please make sure you have Venmo or Cashapp. And for anyone outside the U.S make sure you have PayPal. That is the ONLY way I'll be able to send the prize money if you win, and I will NOT be using PayPal for an U.S winners (bc i need to pay a fee to send money with paypal and I'd rather not ).!!!!!

With that settled, hey! This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now, but every year has been a little tight for me with my own holiday spendings and student loans I have to pay back, but I wanted a chance to give back to you guys for all your support, and what better way than through a little contest? 

I’ve been writing on tumblr since April 2021??? I’ve put out a lot of writing for you guys, despite my horrible writing schedule and terrible deadlines I never meet. I’ve loved every minute of it and have enjoyed talking to some of you ❤️

Perhaps you've been around for a long time, or you just followed me yesterday, ooooor maybe you're finding my blog through this post, if so, welcome! I write fanfics for anime and otome games (used to write for kpop as well, but I don't anymore). If that sounds like something you like, then you're in the right place!

What do you need to do to join?:

Write either a fanfic or draw fanart to enter and get the chance to win money :). It’s the holidays season, and while I can’t give out much, I want to give something. I’ll be picking 4 winners-- 2 for fanfics and 2 for fanart. First place winners for each will get $50 and second place winners will get $25.

How to Enter:

You must be following me

For U.S participants, you must have Cash app or Venmo, and if you live outside the U.S, you must have PayPal! (if you don't and you win, you won't be able to receive your prize money!)

Choose whether you want to write a fanfic or draw fanart (only pick one. And you can only submit once)

Tag me in your completed work and add the hashtag #hanscontest2024 along with any other hashtags you want to get your work out there (this is how I'll find your work if your tag gets lost in my notifications)

Add in your Cash app or Venmo ID to the bottom of your work (you can delete this once the contest is over if you want, just wanna make sure people who enter actually have one) Participants outside the U.S who will be using PayPal, I won't ask you to put your private info on here, but just please make sure you have one. And instead, just state which country you're from so I know you're an international participant! Thanks

Rules/Guidelines for Each Topic:

Fanfic Writers:

Your fics must be a minimum of 1k words, I don’t have a maximum, but I’d feel bad if you wrote a whole fic and didn’t win…but length doesn’t determine who wins, quality does!

You MUST pick a character from the list below. I’ve added fandoms and characters that I personally don’t write for as well, but enjoy (since I’ll be reading all of these, I’d like to read things for characters I like!)

Fem!Reader or Gn!Reader only please (Again, I’ll be spending time reading these and as a woman, I’d relate more to reader if I can relate to them. But if you have a male reader in mind, you can still enter, just write it gender neutral please!)

I am a SFW blog, but I’ll be accepting slightly NSFW submissions for this contest. Just please no straight up porn with no plot. I need plot to actually get into a story :(

Idea’s must be your own and must be new and written specifically for this contest! No plagiarizing, and no fics that you’ve already written and posted online or you’ll be disqualified 

No non-con/rape, no incest, no poly, no character x character, no drugs (alcohol and smoking are fine, just no weed, no other drugs pls), no religion mocking, no racism, no hateful speech towards any group of ppl pls

Only one submission per person (I’ll be able to tell through writing style or if you make another account to join again and you’ll be disqualified) 

That’s about it. As for grammar, I have a hard time reading things that don’t flow well or have grammar mistakes. SOOOO for my younger writers out there who don’t know some grammar rules, or maybe even my writers who don’t have English as a first language, or maybe even writers who’d like a proofreader, I’m willing to read through your drafts to correct any minor grammar mistakes. I won’t be helping with anything else, like how to progress your story, or plot holes or anything like that, only grammar. My editing help will not increase your chances of winning either or guarantee you to win. 

For Fanart: 

Like the writers, you must pick a character from the list below

Artwork can be physical or digital, just no AI artwork please, or you’ll be disqualified 

Can be any medium; digital, drawing, painting, etc—just make sure it’s complete. Preferably some color would be great as well, unless you’ve chosen an artistic route to not use color

Just characters please, no readers. And no ships…you can choose several characters from the list and incorporate them into one piece, but just no romantic ship artwork plssss

Must be your own work and new! I’ll be reverse searching every image to make sure it doesn't already exist

Each image must have a little turtle in it somewhere in the artwork (just as an indicator that it’s really yours. Why turtles? Because I love them heh)

I’ll allow suggestive artwork, just please don’t send in anything explicit (you know what I mean)

Some more general rules:

Please make sure you’ve read and understand all the rules written. If you submit something that breaks one of these rules, you’ll be disqualified. So if you have any questions or need anything clarified, just ask me :)

If you’re a minor, please don’t send in NSFW content, I’ll disqualify you. Also I'm leaving this open to all ages, just know you won't be able to use the prize money or receive it if you don't have a bank account...so I guess that would be 16 and up? Idk what the age is to start your own bank acc lol

NO AI ART WORK OR WRITING ALLOWED. This is your chance to be creative and showcase you, in whichever way you decide

NO Stealing other people’s work…just don’t do it

Please don’t trauma dump on me, or beg me to choose you as the winner. I know there are people out there who would really need this money and who are struggling. I feel for you all, but I can’t afford to send everyone money. I can’t handle hearing how badly everyone needs this…my guilt won’t be able to handle it. I’ll disqualify you if you do, if many people do it, I’ll end the contest entirely. This is supposed to be fun with the added benefit of winning some money for yourself if you win

The creative freedom is yours! Write whatever you want to write about, make it unique, grab my attention. Draw/paint/create whatever you want with whatever ideas you have; whether it’s turning Bakugou into a boxer, or making Zoro a girl dad, the possibilities are endless. I want everyone to have fun with this!

Again, US participants must have cash app or Venmo and participants outside of the US must have PayPal! If you don’t then you won’t be able to receive the prize money if you win!

Deadline: December 22th @11:59pm 

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything. Again, grammar editing can be requested. I’ll be going over only grammar. I won’t be giving you advice on how to write your story or how to advance your story/plot holes or things I don’t like. Only grammar! If you want to run your story idea or art idea by me first to make sure it’s acceptable, you can do that as well. I’ll be around :)

I was thinking over how to choose the winner. At first I was going to do a poll, but I realized it would be biased towards users who have more followers than others. So I will be choosing the winners myself. Looking at fine details and works that really speak to ME, hence why I’ve chosen specific characters. 

Not sure how much attention this will get or how many people will enter, for all I know, only two people might enter and the money will go straight to them, or no one might enter…so this is a test trial. If no one joins, I shall delete and pretend like it never happened. But if it’s successful, then maybe I’ll make it a yearly thing! Giving back for the holidays :) <3

Good luck and hope you all have fun with this!

EVENTIDES' EVERGLOW

"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YOUR PURPOSE? LET ME REMIND YOU."

greetings, mortals! you all have been cordially invited to attend athena’s and ares' annual god games, the eventides’ everglow, where individuals have the chance to prove their strength (of both body and mind) in challenges that no ordinary mortal could withstand.

as stated by the great god of wisdom, athena, all spectators must sign up first in order to attend!

“RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES!”

rules.

i. first, you must send a message to the temple of the wind god. in your message, please list the name of your desired contestant, choose their challenge, and choose 3 of their opponents. after you have done so, the temple keeper will read over your message and hand you your ticket to the games!

ii. during the games, everyone will have a chance to vote on which hero gets to progress and which does not. this means, all spectators must be present for each round of the games!

iii. the contestants will compete in teams of 4. four individuals will face a challenge together, but it’s every man for themselves. they can cooperate with each other, but in the end, one winner must emerge victorious. whoever is left standing at the very end is the reigning champion of the games and brings glory to the god they’re representing!

iv. before submitting your message to the temple keeper, please ensure you have read this post first.

v. this event will only be hosting characters from genshin and honkai: star rail.

[ SEATS TAKEN : 11/15 ]

“YOU WANT BATTLE? I'LL GIVE YOU WAR.”

( a list of the challenges all the contestants are to participate in! )

• THE STORM — angst

• THE CYCLOPS — soulmates au

• THE MINOTAUR — enemies to lovers

• THE MASKED FOOLS — fluff/humor

• SCYLLA — unrequited love

• BEYOND THE SKY CHOIR — reincarnation

• THE HEXENZIRKEL — harry potter au

• THE SEVEN ARCHONS — regula solis epoch au (see this post)

• THE TITANS — percy jackson au

• THE LABYRINTH — until then au

“HE IS HALF OF MY SOUL, AS THE POETS SAY.”

footnotes.

first and foremost, thank you all for participating in this event! it took me a hell of a long time to work on, but it was fun regardless! i decided to put this note down here just in case anyone needed a simplified version of the rules (to avoid confusion). so basically, all you need to do is submit the name of a character from either genshin or hsr (make sure they're on the list of characters i write for first), then tell me which challenge from the above list you want them to complete, and then 3 opponents (ex.: "blade + the storm + dan heng, jing yuan, kafka"). at the end of the request, i'll give a brief overview of the challenge and how it went for the characters. then i will place a poll and you guys get to vote which character survived the challenge and which did not! note: only one character can make it out of the challenge alive ;). to avoid any further confusion, the aus listed next to the challenges are the type of fics you want me to write about the character you're requesting. the actual challenge, as i said before, will be briefly mentioned at the end of your request. if there are multiple requests for one challenge, then the next challenge will be briefly overviewed at the end. (ex.: someone requests "the hexenzirkel". i'll write a harry potter au with the character they asked for and then at the end of one of the requests, i'll give an overview of how a battle against the seven archons went instead!). this will be to avoid doubles, though since there are only 10 challenges and 15 seats, there's bound to be doubles lmao. if there are doubles with characters and that character previously lost in a challenge, then the overview at the end will include 4 different characters of my own choosing. otherwise it wouldn't rlly make sense yk. if you have any questions, my inbox is always open and i will be happy to answer them!

Hi! My name is Sea, and I like to collect things. 🌿

Specifically, as of February this year, I have made it my mission to collect as many resources for the Final Fantasy community as I can; including, but not limited to: Communities, Events, Free Companies, How-To Guides, Lore, Tools and more! I have compiled them into Sea's Community Compendium for FFXIV Creatives, a venture I hope will service as a directory for new and old FFXIV players alike to find places and things they might not otherwise know about, and I'm proud to say that the Compendium has over a hundred individual entries!

...But I want more.

Specifically, as much as this is a call to introduce new people to the Compendium, it is a call for anyone who might know of specific resources/communities that not in the document to take a moment's time out of their day to let me know about them. You can submit specific resources via:

My tumblr dm's.

This handy google form.

Or SEAFLOOR, my support and social community for the Compendium and adjacent projects.

You do not need to be a resource/server owner to submit; there just needs to be a publicly accessible link. ✨

Projects like mine equally cannot survive without the support of the community. If you like what I do, please reblog this post or share it with your friends; post it in your community servers or link it on your social media(s). The more visibility I get, the larger the Compendium becomes and the more likely you are to find a resource or community to suit your needs.

Okay, but really, Is my space suitable for the Compendium? Most of the time, yes! Below the read more is some more information/stipulations. This is all publicly available on the document.

Below are the following things I do not accept on the Compendium:

Personal/Single-Character LFC ads. (Though these get posted to the SEAFLOOR Tumblr Community when I find them!)

Content intended for or can be used for bullying, harassment and OOC gossip. E.g. ‘Secrets’ blogs, receipts, callout posts, etc. This does not include IC tabloid blogs or other ventures used to generate roleplay.

Communities that do not have an RP/writing element (large-scale exempt).

Anything I find personally distasteful or goes against the spirit of this project.

Common-sense rule applies.

I want to put my community on the Compendium but we have an application process. Is this okay?

Yes! Just note somewhere in your application that's a requirement. The only thing that is mandatory for the Compendium is that you must be open to new members or have a public-facing/accessible facet. There's no point advertising a community if no one can join it in some way!

I want to put my Community on the compendium but I only have x number of members —

Also totally okay! People don't start with large communities. Activity is a must but, whether your server has two or two thousand members, if you're looking for new people to join, I'd love to help you find people.

I want to put my community/resource on the Compendium but I worry its too niche?

Okay, and? If your Eorzean Fishing Alliance has four members but you roleplay every second weekend, I still want to know about it. The same goes for resources; if it's relevant to the game, it'll be useful to someone.

How active does a community need to be?

If you find a community has not been active in about two/three months, send me a message and I'll take a look at it. Communities have ebbs and flows, especially event spaces that may take hiatuses depending on member interest/life events. I'm not strict in my implementation provided a space isn't dead. If a link or anything is broken, contact me asap!

I have [insert a question not stated here]?

No drama! Send me an ask or use the #Compendium channel in my Discord!

[loz-chainsofcorruption]

100+ FOLLOWERS ART / WRITING DTYIS

D in DTYIS stands for Do this time rather than draw, because y'all can write instead if you'd like!

I'm hosting a little competition for my followers where you can either write or draw something based on one of the prompts I'll give. There will be at least one winner for the drawing category and one winner for the writing category - though I might add more winners depending on the number of entries. (Or if there are very few entries, I might do at least a small doodle or micro fic for each participant - this is really just me wanting to give back to my followers, and if I had the energy, I'd be drawing everyone something! But that won't be feasible if I get enough entries 😅)

Prizes:

Winners can either have me write something (something between 1000-1500 words) or draw something (a colored and shaded bust drawing). There are certain things I won't write or draw, but those can be discussed when the time comes.

Rules (any entries breaking these rules will be disqualified):

Must be following me (I will be checking)

No NSFW, mature-rated entries, or curse words (let's keep it family friendly please!)

Must be LoZ/LU content since this is an LoZ blog

Tag me so I can see it please

Must use at least one prompt from the list I'll provide (list the prompt(s) you used somewhere so I know for sure what it is)

Entries must be submitted (don't forget to tag me so I see your post) by September 1st! (As in, that is the last day you can submit entries to win. September 2nd onward, this contest will be closed.)

You can submit something to each category if you'd like, but I won't be doing double winners, so if you win one, you won't be winning the other.

Bonus:

If you draw or write something with one of my characters, you'll automatically get a small sketch or micro fic of your choice as a gift! I am absolutely not above bribing people to give my OCs attention.

If you'd like to draw one of my OCs, here are the permitted OCs for this contest:

Anyone from Boots' story

Stray Link or Crown Zelda

Anyone from the Midrule AU

Prompt list:

Poncho Link

My rules for drawing my characters can be found on the masterpost pinned to my page, but if you have any questions (about them or anything else), feel free to send me an ask!

If you want to exchange a word for another synonym or something feel free, just stick to the spirit of the original prompt please!

FictionJunction Radio vol.#22 ~ About Kalafina's Reunion and Yuki's Official Statement

A couple of days ago, Yuki announced that there would be a new FJS Radio broadcast coming up soon so fan club members were asked to submit questions. It was all done in quite a rush and fans only had one day to send their messages. Obviously, everyone (including myself) was thinking that Yuki would use that opportunity to do some further "damage control" after her official statement regarding Kalafina's reunion concert went viral and caused quite a lot of turmoil among fans. HERE's my translation of her statement. It reflects pretty badly not only on the organisers of the event but also the members of Kalafina which has led to many fans seeing this project as a sort of betrayal from Wakana, Keiko and Hikaru. It has since been very quiet on the social media front and there have been no updates from either Keiko or Hikaru.

Today, the new radio episode was posted on the fan club site and yes, Yuki is dedicating a large portion of it to this topic. Bless her! The latest mail magazine also includes a brief message from Yuki Kajiura. I'll go through some of the important parts of that before I tackle the broadcast. Please note that I will not be providing full translations. This will be more of a round-up of all the highlights.

Regarding the statement I posted on X the other day (I apologise to those who have not seen the post. A proper explanation is provided on the radio broadcast.) I tried my best to convey everything to FJS members as honestly as possible. This is a decision I made after much deliberation, I was worried about whether or not I could be causing further distress by repeating all of it again. It goes without saying that everything I am talking about in the broadcast is true, but to be honest, there were some questions that I intentionally chose not to address. However, this was not because of "adult matters" but because I wanted to avoid hurting anyone more than necessary, so I hope you will understand.

I think I've said everything I wanted and felt like I needed to say about this matter on the radio episode. I'm grateful that so many wonderful musicians and singers have been involved in the music I've created up until now. Even if we are not always on the same stage, I always hope that each and every one of them will continue to make music in a bright, fun, interesting, and cheerful way, in their own way and on the path they have chosen.

Once again, I apologise for causing you all trouble and concern.

Yuki Kajiura

FJS Radio Vol.#22 »»—— CLICK ME 🎁 CLICK ME ——««

❗This is Fan Club EXCLUSIVE content❗ ❗PERSONAL USE ONLY❗ ❗Do NOT SHARE on other sites❗

At around 24:00, Yuki starts talking about all the questions she has received regarding her statement in response to the Kalafina Reunion Live announcement. Yuki appreciates that everyone was very careful/kind in their phrasing and clearly tried to not step on her toes. To clear up some confusion and in order to answer a few questions, Yuki is doing a more in-depth discussion of the situation. Initially, she just wanted to write a short text for the fan club mail magazine but she didn't feel like it was enough so it ended up becoming a main topic of the radio episode. This way, it was easier to eliminate uncertainties. 

When she first saw the announcement, her reaction was to ask herself "why??". She was basically in shock. After all, she had not been informed of the project so it was complete news to her. Soon after, it got very awkward for her when she started to receive a lot of inquiries and messages of fans congratulating her on Kalafina's comeback. Naturally, this made her feel very uncomfortable since she had nothing to do with it. Additionally, there was some confusion among fans about the extent of Yuki's involvement because the official announcement from Kalafina Staff did not mention her name at all but both Keiko and Hikaru mentioned her in their statements. For these reasons, Yuki felt like she had no choice but to make her own statement in order to clarify a few things.

She still does not know all the details, for example the exact reasons behind the secrecy and why the members were not able to talk about this to her in advance. Or if this is going to be a one-time thing or if Kalafina will resume their activities.

Yuki says that her statement might have been perceived as quite "angry" because of her usage of certain "strict" phrases (like Kalafina-san, ございます/gozaimasu", etc) but she wants to clarify that she is really not the type to be angry, it was more a sense of shock that made her write like this and the fact that she wanted to stick to very precise/formal language in this "official statement". She wasn't angry or trying to scold anyone. The main focus was actually supposed to be on the latter half of her statement but due to her phrasing, everyone was focusing on that first part (to a point where people were starting to draw false conclusions). She thinks that even the Kalafina members themselves must have been quite taken aback when they read the statement. It was never her intention to create so much backlash for the project/the Kalafina members and she doesn’t approve of it. To avoid further misunderstandings, she posted some follow-up tweets and ultimately decided to record the radio episode. Yuki wants us to know that the sentiment she was trying to convey was fundamentally positive. She does wish the members of Kalafina all the best and she knows that they will do an amazing job. She repeats this several times.

Of course she would have wanted to do a live concert together with Kalafina, it was always a dream she pursued and something she had discussed with Keiko and Hikaru during their activities together. But there were a lot of hurdles and it was going to take a long time. There was no way of knowing if it was ever going to happen (especially with Wakana still being signed under Space Craft) so she completely understands that the girls would look at different options just to somehow make this concert happen. They were undoubtedly presented with a good opportunity so it would have been unwise of them to not take that chance, especially since it offered a faster solution. With an appealing offer like that, it's only natural that the Kalafina members would have agreed to the project. Despite feeling sad, Yuki knows that sometimes things like this happen in life. When things don't work out one way, you need to try other options. She doesn't fault the members for going down a different path. In fact, she wishes nothing but luck to the girls. She supports them all the way and highlights their splendor as singers (especially Keiko who she admires for her discipline). They all continue to have a good relationship and Yuki will always see them as her "music nakamas".

She is also looking forward to working with Keiko and Hikaru in the upcoming Asia tour. She is sure they will have fun together so there is no need to worry. The same applies for the summer tour next year.

Yuki then goes on to talk a bit about Satoshi Takebe who she highly respects as "senior/senpai". He actually reached out to Yuki after this whole debacle and they talked about how he kinda ended up bearing the brunt of fan hatred which Yuki found very uncalled-for. She is sure he will do a great job as music director for the concert. And it's not a matter of him stepping in to replace her as producer because his role as music director is not the same as what Yuki did in her role as producer. He is just doing his job. And he always wants to do the best he can so he will make sure to make Yuki's music shine.

Last but not least, Yuki actually addresses the infamous BLOG that I wrote about HERE. She read through it and she wants us to know that all the "supposed facts" are fabrications, complete fantasies, especially all the conspiracy theories regarding Sony wanting to get rid of her and trying to control her.

All right, this was really insightful. Love that Yuki is pretty frank. I think this is her basically clearing up the tension and offering an olive branch to the members of Kalafina (and Satoshi Takebe). She is putting out all the stops to convey a positive message and she is using every opportunity to hype up this project. Her fondness for the girls is also very apparent, she uses the chan suffix almost all the time when she refers to them and she praises them frequently throughout the entire episode. So there is no doubt that they are still on good terms with each other. There has been no falling out or anything!

Now is honestly the best time for the three of them to become active on social media again and release some genuine and heartfelt statement. I feel like this is the only way to salvage this current disaster of a situation. I mean, they can't let this drag on forever. I am actually a little sad that it seems like the girls haven't already talked the whole thing through with Yuki but now is their chance.

They all have events and concerts coming up and the general lottery for the reunion live is about to start soon so they need to come out of their hiding place asap.

PS: There's no need for people to bombard me with tons of messages about stuff like this. Of course I have seen it! Of course I've read/listened to it! Of course I'm going to post about it! Of course I will be providing all the info! Rest assured that I will always try my best to keep everyone updated. But please, give me some time!! I have a real life with a full-time job. Running this blog is not the only thing I do in life so I can't always post about everything right away (even though I would like to).

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to The Neopian Biology Project!

This blog is an offshoot of a series of posts started on my main account. It is run by me, @asterixcalibur, in association with Happy Lab Accidents on @cabletwo. I'm an artist and funny person by trade, but a biologist by tragic BDGilbertian retribution.

The goal of this project is to identify all of Neopia's unique species, categorize them by kingdom and region of origin, and find an ideal specimen for each that can be put into a natural history museum (my gallery on Neopets). As of writing, the project has identified over 2000 unique species of Neopian wildlife.

Our main methodology is scouring item descriptions for helpful information. This process also involves researching and standardizing the taxonomical, ecoregional, and evolutionary timeline terminology of Neopia.

Longer term goals are to obtain the ideal specimen of every identified species for the museum, and renovate the museum into a simulated museum experience through careful application of visual assets and CSS/HTML. Maybe one day we can shoot for the Gallery Spotlight?

On Neopets

My account on Neopets is classypotassium. Feel free to ask to be NeoFriends -- just tell me who you are here!

The Neopian Biological Sciences Natural History Museum itself is here.

Ways to Contribute

1. Donate a specimen

If you'd like to donate or loan a specimen to the museum, contact me so we can discuss attribution and collateral!

The gallery's JellyNeo wishlist is here. It will be continually updated as specimens are identified, so consider it a work in progress. As of writing I also haven't checked anything off even if it's been obtained, so double check the museum before offering donations!

2. Donate Neopoints

You can also "donate" by buying a Plushie Fungus from my shop! These are intentionally overpriced so that the change can be considered a charitable donation.

3. Interact here!

A lot of the posts that end up here are going to be asking for people's thoughts on origin, kingdom, uniqueness, and so on, through polls and direct questions.

You can also submit items, images, links, art, specimens, fossils, documentation, scientific papers, primary sources, etc. and so on, for consideration by the Project!

You don't need to know anything about Neopets to put in your two NP (or cents USD). In fact, sometimes it's better to get a perspective grounded in normal Earth biology, because, speaking as a biologist here in Neopia, I can very well say oh ym god please help ohhhh my god you don't even know

Conclusion

You don't need to be into Neopets to enjoy or contribute to this blog; I'll try my best to write posts so that they can be enjoyed by anyone aware of but not necessarily into Neopets. In my experience, explaining Neopets to someone entirely unfamiliar with it is always fun. This shit runs deep, dark, and as spaghetti as its code. Best part of Neopets, to me, is that the site rewards you for exploration, and some of the most consequential but by far weirdest lore can only be found by happening upon a page six links deep into a chain of site features that have gone untouched since 2009, as part of a philosophy of interaction that runs the entire site and is entirely against modern website design principles.

Anyway,

Thank you for visiting!

Science awaits!

Pt30

(Part two of the gun play scene, the second mech nearly didn't make it in but i thought fuck it I'm writing this for me xD, very adult scenes , also I do write a lot of this on the spot I'll probably maybe read back through later and be like omg major spelling error or some shit, anyway enjoy.)

Orion leaned to the side, firmly holding Megatron between his thighs as a finger teased the barrel end, tracing its open rim and feeling heat simmering.

Reaching for the lubricant he smirked, seeing half the tube had been used and that the casing was still sticky with residue from the tubes contents.

"Been enjoying yourself sir?"

"Well it's a little hard to ignore the ache to have you, but I cannot be selfish in that sense...others want and need to."

Orion paused thinking to himself about the mech again who came to him in the brig, in his room. That mech would have insisted he make time for him...no not the time to think about that.

"You can demand my attention a little more, you're the Decepticon leader after all...the dark corners could be ours if you so desire."

Megatron vented another burst of steam that passed through Orions fingers, leaving a pleased smile on the Autobots lips.

"Oh you are getting needy aren't you? Has anyone dared to play with you like this?"

"I ...Mmm I think you know the answer to that...then again there aren't many who turn into guns, ah mmm..."

Megatron panted, if he was in his robotic form his spike would he throbbing with want, instead it was his entire body

"I see..."

Orion pushed his finger in a little the barrel and sensed the slight discomfort, so that would need lubing to.

"Maybe I should find something that can enter your barrel...I wonder if it would be similar to sounding* for you."

(*look up sounding fetish, definitely nsfw)

Megatrons plating opened all at once as another burst of steam vented at the mere thought, oh he really was quite happy in his position. The silver edge of his gun form pressed against the yellow stripe, he could feel the heat coming from between Pax. Waiting as patiently as any hot blooded mech could when sandwiched between a pretty Cybertronians legs, but this was becoming a pleasant torture.

Orion coated his palm with lubricant, checking the viscosity between two fingers and thumb, nodding he tossed the tube on the side top, fingers curling around the barrel, slow languid movements.

If one walked in now it would at first glance look as if he were pleasuring himself, his hand sliding up and down over Megatron's barrel, finger tip pushing into the end, coating its inside and squeezing his thighs together tighter, enjoying the moan The Con gave. A new sound left him, well one he had been so careful not to let out around other Autobots.

It was a satisfied growl, one that usually only warframes could give, something primal in its nature.

Orion came to a stand still, his spark racing, it was still new to him that it was okay to just be himself, that he wouldn't be hauled away for questioning, perhaps never to be seen again

Megatron didn't know what Orion was thinking he just knew there was a flash of fear in his field and reached out with his own, holding his hand with it. Knowing the fear had something to do with sound, he would possibly, just possibly give Decepticon leader ship to Starscream for the day to hear again.

"It's alright Orion, you're safe here, you can be who you are here."

He nodded, taking in a shaky breath and smiled, taking comfort in Megatron's words as he continued

"Fuck, I don't get it, how do most Cybertronians not realise, older mech are far more attractive, all that power knowledge and wisdom. Strength and still you'll submit, or pin us down if we ask, you need attention and affection just as much as anyone else..."

His panel opened and he sighed in contentment as his node pressed against the flat of Megatrons silver casing.

The Decepticon was not going to say out loud he was ecstatic to be so close to his goal but when Orion reached down and took him by the grip, taking him away from the heat, the the soft layers, his node that had been pressed to his body he nearly transformed right then and then just so he could put himself back.

However after The Autobots fingers were firmly around his grip something even better came to him as his barrel was pressed to the mechs node, Primus, frag...he was being used to tease Pax's needy body and he wouldn't have it any other way as he was dragged up and down over it, being made to apply a firm pressure to it as his hips rocked in response.

Orion wanted more, needed more, all this gun teasing had made him aroused to the point where he could no longer hold back.

Having Megatron comfort him as he had, he was ready to do this, to have The Decepticon buried inside of him.

Moving so he was on his knees on the seating, facing the wall, cheek pressed to its cool surface for support as he continued pleasuring himself, rocking his hips so his clit rubbed against smooth warm metal as his hand rubbed it back and forth, stimulating himself further, lubricants trickling down over his hand and streaking over Megatron who could feel the pace growing, steam venting from silver once again.

Orions cooling fans were whirring loud and without shame, his breath fogging up the shimmering violet wall, barely keeping his optics open when Megatron had the audacity to show he could fucking vibrate, his fangs were bared in his expression of ecstasy, it was clear he was getting close and only stopped when Megatron rasped through his heavy lust

"Stop denying yourself Pax, stop denying me , we know exactly what we want!"

Pax pulled him away from his aching Valve, there was a look in his optics that made Megatron want too lay back and spread his damn legs for him.

"What are you-"

Orion literally slammed his grip into the couch so the seating would dent and keep his barrel facing up right.

Oh that was unexpected but not unwelcome, the strength that would have taken...he wanted to fight him, a force of wills against one another but the view was too good and it was even better when Orion sank down on him...warmth engulfing him, he could see the trace lines of biolights, shifting and changing to actually wrap around his shape.

Of course that was the moment Soundwave entered the room asking how the work was going.

The scene before him would be forever engraved in his processor.

Orion taking Megatron in his gun form, eyes bright and blue, cheeks flushed and fangs bared as he wasn't even stopping.

"Either you can help or you can leave, you fragging pervert."

Orion growled, still taking Megatron's gun form, let Soundwave watch, he would never get to do this with him.

Soundwave's visor glowed brighter only for him to step forward.

"As helping you , serves my Lord, I will assist you."

His hands firmly on Orions waist, strong and commanding in their guidance, he didn't say a word, he was recording this, taking in the view of Megatron repeatedly disappearing, the sound their bodies made together, it was a lewd sound that even sent a spark to his body as he made Orion move harder and faster.

"As for me being a pervert Orion, I could say the same thing about you."

"Excuse you but-"

Soundwave slammed him back into his position against the wall.

"You are making Megatron feel good in that, don't move."

Orions ear fins twitched, he could feel the protocols of his aft panel wanting to open, no slagging way was he going to let Soundwave of all mechs get inside his body...no, not one chance in...oh Primus...

Soundwave had pressed into the contours of his back and had a hand on his waist, the other taking Megatron by the grip and was now pumping him into his body, his teeth gritting he wasn't going to tell Soundwave he was doing it perfectly, he certainly didn't fucking whimper when two fingers rubbed at his node.

"For someone so insistent that they hate me, you're responding well."

Orion slammed a fist against the wall, eyes closed and lips parted as his hips met every trust into his body with perfect rythm.

"It's...Megatron, it's Megatron he's the one making me feel good. "

Only reason Megatron wasn't chiming in was because this earnestly had to be one the most delicious interfaces he'd ever been a part of.

"Stop lying Autobot, you want more."

"What...oh Primus, do you mean-"

His ear fins shot up as he only barely heard Soundwave's panel open as his hips were made to jut out and had Soundwave along side Megatron inside of him.

"With him, I'll frag you into submission Autobot, we'll make you whimper and mewl."

Soundwave had a knee on the couch beside Orions, his body weight resting against his as he fucked him and used Megatron to help him.

"You're ours Pax, the fact you give yourself so eagerly shows us all we need to do is tend to you like a good pet and you'll be satisfied."

"Fuck you Soundwave, you bastard, oh God I'm so close..."

Orion was clawing at the walls, leaving dents in the wake of his fingers, the sensation of having them both inside his valve, he'd stopped caring , stopped being angry as Soundwave's fingers rubbed his node faster and faster until finally he slammed down, back arching, his sirens actually went off, flashing blue and red, he barely registered only Soundwave followed with him as he reached a hand behind him and grabbed Soundwave by his shoulder cannon and flipped him over his own shoulder to land on his back on the couch.

Megatron was on the brink as Orion went on all fours and ripped a still dazed Soundwaves mask off in one violent swoop, the mech was looking up at him, the feral glare in Primes eyes damn well nearly had him grabbing onto his hips and trying to go for it again, that was until he saw Orion reaching down and heard Megatron pulled from him only to be shoved into his mouth in an irony as he'd shoved his own blaster into Pax's mouth hours before, he could taste them on the barrel, passion and anger, the want to destroy.

Orion leaned in , his finger sliding against the trigger.

"Click, click...."

He pulled it.

"Bang."

And that was it Megatron could no longer hold on and overloaded.

Announcement! It's a Teft Pornbattle!

Hey, you! Do you love Teft, the Stormlight Archive's resident grumpy yet lovable old man? Do you want to write and/or read about him getting some "love"? Well, fan-stormin'-tastic!

Here's the plan: Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be polling and asking you for your favorite Teft-centric ships and smut-centric prompts. It's a pornbattle, so we're setting the expectation of a Mature or Explicit rating. At the end of the polling week, I'll be gathering up and posting a list of every pairing and every prompt that was voted for or that you shared with us.

Then, anyone who wishes to write (lurkers, first-time writers, or seasoned vets - anyone!) will have one week to write a short piece of fanfiction (1k word max) using that list of ships and prompts. It's a fun battle, so feel free to post as many fics as you want in that week to inspire other Teft fans or save it for the end to surprise us with your work!

Interested? Cool, so am I. Here's more details:

Polls will be open for one week starting now. 4/27/25 - 5/4/25. Vote for your favorite Teft ships and smut prompts and please share/link/reblog to get more votes! If you're still reading this and have no clue who Teft is or what this is, roll a dice it's still fun to vote!

If you have ships or prompts not in the polls but wish to submit for potential writers to use: Simply reblog the appropriate poll post and add yours using tags or replies. Use the tag #teftbattle to signify it's related to this event. Or, make your own posts on here using that tag and note it's a suggested idea somewhere so I can see it. Even if you're not planning on writing, you can still suggest ideas!

Polls end Sunday 5/4 at midnight CST USA time. Starting Monday 5/5/25 - 5/12/25 writers can get started and give Teft some lovin'! Archive of our Own is preferred (I'll make a collection), but feel free to post it here on Tumblr with the tag #teftbattle. If you need a wiggle day to finish up, just DM me here or let me know somehow!

Drabbles, ficlets, any written work 1,000 words or less are acceptable. If it's like, 1,054 words that's fine just shoot for 1k. All stories must feature Teft. Please, please mark for spoilers if anything major from the books applies to your story. Otherwise, go nuts! Any kink, any number of partners, any sexuality.

I'm sure this is already overly-long. I'll be posting the two polls shortly with additional resource links if you need inspiration so follow me for those if you haven't already. Questions? Reply here or DM me.
