Plain text list can be found under the cut, along with many other things!!

Wow! Year three!

This is the third year I’m running a Monster March event, and excited!! Also I got the prompt list out super early so theres’s plenty of time!

The collection can be found here, but until then, here are the rules and FAQs. Oh and I guess posting guidelines. The rules and FAQs are taken right from the previous collections, with a few new additions.

Rules:

1. Please use archive warnings when they apply. On that note, Please tag your works appropriately and completely.

2. Be polite to other posters. That’s fairly simple, I think.

3. Don’t overwork or stress yourself. Please.

4. DO NOT use GenAI. Or at least be smart enough to not mention it.

5. All works must be newly created for this event. Sorry, no old or recycled works are allowed.

6. That’s it. Those are the rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a lie I’ve only been asked one of these

Q: Do I have to fill every day?

A: Abso-fucking-lutely not. You could do one day, or you could do seven, or fifteen, or twenty seven, or all thirty-one! You could even do multiple works for each day, if you were so motivated and ambitious. The most important parts are to have fun and not stress yourself.

Q: Is this event 18+ only?

A: I’d prefer it if it was, but I don’t think I can stop people from contributing. Content-wise, no. Post whatever form of monster appreciation you want!

Q: Does my work have to be a certain length?

A: Nope!

Q: Can I post art for this?

A: Yes. I will love you if you do.

Q: Can I post the first chapter of a work but not finish it before March ends?

A: Of course!

Q: Can I combine this with another event?

A: As long as it’s fine with the other event, yes.

Q: Does each day have to be its own separate work? Can I make a chapter for every day?

A: You can, if you want, make one long work. I personally recommend not doing that, especially if you’re crossing fandoms and relationships. Also more individual works means more kudos. But you do you.

Q: Can I write or draw X monster instead of Y monster?

A: No

Q: Is there open posting/Can I post at a later date?

A: Yes! Post whenever you want. I’ll officially be closing the collection in September, so you have until then 😁

Q: Am I allowed to write or draw X tag?

A: Yes. I’m just hosting the collection and running the event. Please tag it, though.

Q: Why do you allow X?!

A: Again, I’m just hosting the collection and running the event.

Q: Does this have to be for a specific fandom? Are Original Works allowed?

A: It can be any fandom! It can be an original work! Let your imagination run free!

Q: Does it have to be about sex?

A: Nope. Love comes in many forms, and this is about appreciating monsters.

Q: Can I use GenAI?

A: No. You cannot. Not for writing, not for your summary, not for art. I guess you could use it for prompts but maybe just find a prompt generator instead. Or send me a message, I can help too. This is about human creativity.

Q: What do you mean by “only new works?” Can I continue a series?

A: I mean that everything posted must be new. It can be part of an existing series! It cannot, however, be a new chapter in an already existing work.

Q: What you have for day X isn’t a monster!

A: To you. I asked one personally and they wanted to be on the list.

Posting Guidelines for Tumblr

My only asks for, if you post on tumblr, are to tag for triggers, and that you @ me. Oh and I suppose if whatever you’re posting has multiple parts to link them to each other.

I’m going to rb as many posts as I get, but if I miss a day, feel free to let me know! If it was a multi-parter, I’m only going to rb the first one, because I have a tendency to get them all mixed up, and then people miss certain parts and. Yeah.

So, tag for triggers, @ me, and link your multi-parters together.

Random Cursed Thought:

-Not a 2019/2025 Oubing shipper, but really, for Oubing in general, "Fate says you two should get married" will actually be a perfectly valid, FSYY novel-accurate justification.

-Granted, the two "Fate Says So" marriages all suck in the novel. Thus, "Cursed".

-But, purely for plot and comedic potential's sake, imagine this:

-An Ao Bing that got seriously wounded, but didn't die to Nezha back then and subsequently joins the Jie/Shang side, and a more-or-less novel-accurate Nezha, facing off on the battlefields.

-The former, even with the help of his new sectmates and treasure, loses soundly to post-resurrection Nezha, and just when the latter is about to finish off what he started…Old Man of the Moon arrives to interrupt the fight, together with Taiyi.

"Don't kill the dragon, you two are destined for romance and marriage." "What the ever-loving FUCK?!" x 2 "This old man thinks Fate just wants to get even. The two previous marriages all have the girls end up getting the short end of the deal, so it's only fair that the third marriage is between two men and screws over them equally." (Deng Chanyu and Princess Longji in the background: "Oh, so you know just how UNFAIR our marriages are?") "Master, you can't be——" "Sorry, but the best I can do is making sure he's marrying into our side like that Hong Jin, instead of the other way around."

-Whether you want to make the subsequent development dark comedy (how does it feel like to be on the receiving end of "Fate Says So" marriage for once, huh, Chan Sect? Also, will they defy Fate by making the marriage...not suck for once?) or just dark (as Fate and the angst-lovers intended!) is up to you.

new followers for spn in 2025 im sorry to say here you will instead be handed back to back posts about the league of legends cartoon scored by imagine dragons so really it’s an upgrade when you think about it and you’re welcome

[wiz-writes]

I think it's time for a little bit of a progress update!

A quick summary for those who do not wish to read my ramblings below the cut:

Currently working on: Aesemyr chapter 3 - "Cerin path" (the university gathering), hope to have it released in October

Coming next: Yinshan, a part of chapter 3, either at the end of this year or beginning of the next one

I'm always so surprised when I realise that it's been some time since I've posted one of these or since I've updated my demos. Time flies! (Can you imagine it's going to be Christmas in like three months? Or even worse, 2025? Terrible...)

After my August Aesemyr update, I was debating whether to continue writing Aesemyr or switch over to Yinshan. In the end, Aesemyr won.

Sorry to all of you who have been waiting for the next chapter of Yinshan! I would like to fit one more (maybe shorter) update for the story into this year/beginning of the next, so fingers crossed!

Honestly, I got kind of excited about the next bit for Aesemyr and I also wanted to move the story forward.

At the end of ch2, you can choose one of two paths - one that I call "Cerin path" and the other "no Cerin path", depending on whether they join you or not.

In the next update, you will be able to play a part of the "Cerin path". I thought of writing both paths simultaneously at first, but I don't think my brain would be able to handle that and I'd just mix things up.

Finally, I'm hoping to release it next month, my deadline is 31 October. If you've been following me for a while, you might be thinking, 'girl, isn't that too ambitious for you?' and yeah, you would be right 😂 But as you might have noticed, I'm a big Dragon Age fan, and as the new game comes out on the 31st, you can bet that I will be playing that and avoiding all my other responsibilities.

So, this concludes my lengthy ramble, sorry about that. And if you got to this part, you're the best and I hope you're having a great day/night! ❤️❤️❤️

could you explain the mclaren reputation era please I missed it

ok well i don't really understand it entirely so bear with me here as i fumble through this.

essentially yesterday mclaren archived (deleted?) every single one of their instagram posts (and there were Thousands) except for this kind of twist trap esque video of lando, oscar and their car with the tagline "whatever it takes" like the imagine dragons song, or perhaps a 15 year old boy posting selfies of himself in the gym.

this of course is exactly what taylor swift did however many years ago right before she dropped her reputation album, archived every single one of her instagram posts except for these three videos of a snake slithering around and i don't remember what the words were associated with it but it was foreshadowing her reputation album. this was the album that she released directly after she got a whole lot of shit for her 1989 tour, took basically 2 years off and came back with some s tier bangers about how basically she didnt really care what the media thought of her, but she was reinventing herself (remember the "im sorry, the old taylor can't come to the phone right now, why? oh! cause she's dead!" meme" but essentially, it was her comeback after awhile away.

mclaren, as we know, has not won a championship since 2008 with sir lewis hamilton. their driver line up, lando norris and oscar piastri, is the youngest pairing of drivers on the grid (lando is 24, oscar is 22) and while the 2023 season for them started off absolutely terribly (their car fucking sucked) they were able to do some major upgrades throughout the season and turned it around by the silverstone race (just under halfway through the year). from silverstone on (13 races total) mclaren finished in the top 3 nine times (with both oscar and lando on the podium at the qatar and japan races) and were consistently in the points. oscar also won the sprint race in qatar. and lando had i think 17 overtakes at the mexico race, starting 19 and ending 5th. which is kind of incredible. in a season of absolute red bull domination (lets remember that a red bull driver won ever race except for the singapore race, which carlos won with the help of lando) they were consistently challenging them and there was one time in texas (i think?) where lando almost was able to overtake max.

so yes, red bull is definitely the favored team at the moment and is coming off of quite possibly the best season they've ever had. however. mclaren have some distinct advantages going into the 2024 season:

they do not have to worry about silly season. as we know, 14 drivers have contracts ending at the end of 2024 which means the absolute mad rush to resign and offer contracts across basically every team. redbull is basically guaranteed to not resign checo and might even swap him for daniel ricciardo halfway through the season whereas lands contract with mclaren ends in 2025 and oscars ends in 2026. mclaren can spend all of their time worrying about the car and the drivers rather than who they are signing.

oscar piastri. oscar just finished his rookie season (and previously won the f2 and f3 championships and won rookie of the year this year). in terms of rookie years he had an outstanding one. people compared him to lewis hamilton's rookie year. as a refresher, lewis hamiltons rookie year was in 2007 (also at mclaren) and he won his first championship in 2008. oscar is the first rookie since lewis hamilton to get multiple podiums and win something in his rookie year. expectations are running high here.

lando norris's expiring contract. as we know lando has one more confirmed year with mclaren. cel of mclaren zak brown has announced that they want to extend landos contract with mclaren, but, hes starting to get really really good, which means that a top team like red bull or mercedes might also try to get him as a driver. this is the year for mclaren to prove to lando that they can give him what he wants (which is to win a race. in his 5 years of formula 1 he hasn't won anything. and once he starts winning then hes going to want to win a championship. but. there is max verstappen to contend with). so their absolute balls to the wall tactic could work pretty well for them here. pre season testing doesnt start for over another month and they are already clearly locked in to the 2024 season.

lando and oscar actually get along. sure, formula 1 is an individual sport, but there is the drivers championship (for the individual driver) and the constructors championship (for the team with the most points). so they do have to work together. drivers not working together in the past has led to some ... undesirable results for teams (the great brocedes civil war of nico rosberg and lewis hamilton that ultimately resulted in nico retiring after he won his first championship, whatever the hell was going with max and daniel for part of the 2018 season, the french civil war at alpine between pierre gasley and esteban ocon) they are also both very consistent drivers. neither are incredibly crash prone and seem quite willing to work together on the track to optimize results.

yes they do also have disadvantages. lando has never won a race, they only have one pole position between them (lando in russia in 2021) and they're not a red bull. clearly they're the underdog in the situation. but they did finish fourth in the constructors championship in 2023 ("best of the rest") (and after basically getting next to no points for the first several races on account of the fact that their car was shit) behind ferrari, mercedes, and red bull. they're coming for the top 3 and honestly it could be their season to lose.

if ferrari doesnt change their strategy approach then they could be out of a shot at top 3. also ferrari have to deal with the nightmare of resigning both of their drivers (or finding new ones). merc and red bull will both be giving it their all (lewis hamilton really really wants to win his 8th world championship before he retires and max is well. max.) but if mclaren has a competitive car from the start of the season and doesnt have to play catch up for the first several races, then they could easily finish in the top 3.

also they released their livery today? which really confuses me (is that different than the car unveiling? what is going on someone mansplain it to me please)

I throw this chain message to you, a foul creature who makes me smile.

💕Positivity prime time! Share five things you love about yourself, four things you're excited about, OR three people you care deeply about and why. Pass this along to someone whose posts make you smile💕

LATE TO THIS - I'M SORRY, AZI Five Things I Love About Myself: 1. Being someone who is kind. 2. My ambition to do things, even the most difficult ones. 3. My new haircut. 4. Dumb of ass, pure of heart. 5. I can cook a mean breakfast. Four Things I'm Excited About: 1. Closer to getting done our 2nd studio album! 2. Next month's Socrates club. 3. Halloween 2025 4. Having fresh coffee with my wife in the morning. Three People I Care About and Why: 1. My wife, my best friend, my Dib @iodotsys because they're neat :) 23 years and counting, they've been my biggest support my entire life. Caring, compassionate, respectful, honest, and intellectual - you can't get me to shut up about them. <3 2. Winny - she's not a person, but she's our snotty princess. She's about 10 years old now, and I can't imagine a life without her ugly face. She sneezes, snores, and rubs her snot on everything. :) She's the best. 3. My grandparents. They raised me as a child until I moved out. My grandfather is still the type of man I aspire to be. If my grandmother was a creature, she would be a dragon - strong, resilient, ambitious, caring. They're no longer with me, but I have their picture close by to see everyday.

ESC 2025 Top 35 dumb takes do not read

1. Sweden - *sigh* I can explain. Believe me, I tried so hard to not root for Sweden this year. Their usual bias at ESC made it really hard for me to put it as my first. But here we are. I just couldn't resist. The goofiness, the finnish-swedish lyrics, the mcfucking sauna on the stage, their charisma, it's just perfect. I can't not jam to this. One thing that really makes me worried is...will this win? Will this achieve the 8th swedish win in this god forsaken contest? I'm super conflicted about the whole thing. I don't know if I want to see Sweden winning again...but I just can't get enough of KAJ.

2. Albania - I SO wish I'd have kept this as my winner...I really love both this and Sweden. Manifesting the best placement for Albania with this one. Love the fierce vibes it has sm. It's like my mind says Zjerm as my winner, but my heart says Bara Bada Bastu.

3. Latvia - Like I said in my other top post, this is absolutely magical and if it's not qualifying I'll go cry in a forest or some shit. It's just not fair for such a masterpiece to miss out. Just my 2 cents...

4. Luxembourg - It's very cute and peppy, I can't not like this. Love the references of Poupée the cire as stated before and Laura seems super sweet!!

5. Italy - My comfort song rn that I listen when I feel nostalgic. Reminds me of some stuff from my life and idk why. Also gets me super emotional, I love this soft indie rock sound way too much.

6. Lithuania - And this is the song that I listen when I feel emo or angry at life. They're such a mood fr.

7. Germany - Oh look we have a grower. This had been on loop on my commute to work for like a month now. It's waaayy too catchy.

8. Finland - The slayage. I love the freaking microphone at the end it's just so meme.

9. Iceland - Crazy ahh sea shanty my beloved, PLEASE qualify idc.

10. Switzerland - Beautiful. This feels like a warm day of late spring when you are at peace, laying on the ground and the sun rays shine on your face. Everything is calm and serene.

11. Poland - This woman's stage presence is insane and honestly I'm here for it.

12. Montenegro - Montenegro did NOT return to the contest in full force only for the EBU to fuck them up like that with that shitty running order 💀 Hopefully she pulls a Ramonda and qualifies from the dreaded 2nd spot, holy shit...

13. Portugal - Now it's time to talk about Italy's twin entry. Similarly with Volevo, I feel a weird, longing feeling listening to this. I checked the lyrics and the song is about feeling displaced from your current city and wishing to go back to your natal one. It really hits home for me (heh) since I live in another city and I really do wish to go back home a lot (and I do) and it has that nostalgic, melancholic but also hopeful vibe. It just makes me feel so calm, the singer's voice is warm and pleasant, that soft jazz, the message, I really like it. Too bad that this is incredibly underrated in the fandom smh. Lmao sorry for the incredibly self indulgent description but man...this song is just beautiful it makes me teary eyed...

14. Belgium - I love his aesthetic and the song's a vibe.

15. San Marino - My eternal nightmare song, I will never escape the Sanremo week and how my ears blasted into next Friday whenever it was break and this song inevitably started playing (help me). A real bop, though.

16. Greece - It's very deep and emotional, I love the instrumental.

17. Austria - Impeccable, angelic voice. JJ is one hell of a vocalist. It's so shocking to hear that this is his first song ever?? Bruh.

18. Czechia - Not me singing the chorus of this whenever I say goodbye to my friends after a hangout. 💀

19. France - I can feel her pain through this song and I wish her the best. Also makes me emotional a lil.

20. Denmark - Close enough, welcome back Euphoria.

21. Armenia - Close enough, welcome back Believer by Imagine Dragons (with a bit of Kaarija).

22. Ireland - I'm still conflicted about the lyrics but the melody is just so catchy ugh...I also stan Emmy she sparks joy!!!!

23. Azerbaijan - The traditional sounds in the chorus are such an earworm tbh.

24. Slovenia - This makes me feel so emotional when I listen to it. Love the message.

25. Norway - I like it a bit more now ig?? But still not enough to be obsessed with it.

26. Estonia - Okay I admit, his performance in Eesti Laul is really fun and like I said before, I love electroswing. But dude the vocals need a LOT of work.

27. Croatia - He gives off such edgelord vibes I stan. I really don't get the hate for this one. Because it's cringe? I don't see it tbh.

28. United Kingdom - I love that it's very theatrical and fun, probably needs more listens from me but it's solid! UK seems to be good this year.

29. Malta - It grew on me only because it's a huge meme in my friend group. There's not a day that passes in which I don't say "serving kant 💅✨️" mimicking Miriana's voice, it gives me a weird sense of empowerment? Like girl.. I wanted to hate this song what's happening?

30. Ukraine - Grew on me a lil. It's pretty cute I guess. Hopefully it will grow more until the show.

31. Serbia - A nice throwback to the old 2000s balkan ballads but that's about it. I never really come back to it.

32. Spain - That revamp made it really weak for me, sorry. I miss the kitsch spanish sounds from the original, now it's just bland pop song but in spanish.

33. Cyprus - I listened to it when it came out, I remember liking it but never bothered to listen to it again. Idk...

34. Netherlands - REALLY grew off me and I feel bad about it, he's a very competent singer but...I keep forgetting this is participating this year...

35. Australia - Please do NOT come at me with pitchforks and torches. I really don't feel this one. Probably because of the double meaning of the lyrics, they just...ruin the song for me. HOWEVER this is such a meme with me and my friends, and they love terrorising me with it. For some reason they call Go-Jo Muffin Man and it's so funny idk why
