This is my piece for the Bokumono Reverse Big Bang @bokumonobigbang​! It was my job to make the story idea, so I went for something stupid and silly. of course I had to kill Pete >:)

My teammate TheDisco did an amazing job of bringing to life exactly what I had in mind. You can read their story here on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45969850/chapters/115708846

I had the absolute HONOUR to work with @durotoswrites for the most recent @bokumonobigbang! They worked on a fic while I worked on the image above, it was a TON of fun!

Link to the fic is here! Ryker x Cecil supremacy let's goooooooo!

[bokumonobigbang]

My companion piece, written for the beautiful artwork done by the amazing @calypsotea (which can be found here, as well as in the story)! 

The moment I saw her concept I had a story in my head, springing into life almost fully formed! But to my great chagrin, we were not paired together…  at first.  

For whatever reason, her original writing partner had to leave the event and I was asked to be a pinch hitter!  (Pinch hitter?  For this?!?  Pinch me!!)  Needless to say I jumped at the chance (and totally did not squee myself silly), and despite the tireless efforts of Life and Harsh Reality to interfere, I was able to write something that I hope does her art at least some small justice. Her work allowed me to explore something I’m going through myself – trying to overcome my fear of dogs – and to explore Mineral Town again. Both of these things made me very happy.  

I hope our contribution brings you the same peace and joy.

“Thunder scampered up the rocks behind me and sat near my head, panting happily in the steam and letting the warm stones keep him warm too.  It didn’t take long before the spring began to work its magic and I started feeling like I might live.” – Spring in the Winter, by @quartzfox My contribution to the Winter 2023 Bokumono Reverse Big Bang! I was so happy to hear about this Bang because I’d been wanting to be more active in the HM fandom again, and thought it was well-timed to ease back in.  The prompt I decided on was specifically for cute fluff—as a person forever in constant need of relaxation and de-stressing, I really wanted my piece to evoke the spirit of those beloved needs. I’m so happy QuartzFox was able to pinch-hit for my piece OMG.  Like I can’t even; wharrgarbl—please just go read her story!  It really hits the fluffy vibes of my request, and highlighting Claire’s relationship with Thunder was inspired.  I’m certain we both had the same feeling here: Please, Claire, let us live vicariously through you lol. But this was definitely an eventful Bang event; my work duties became quite hectic and unpredictable, so much so that I had to (again) forgo coloring my piece altogether.  Thankfully I came to that realization early enough that I had time to try and add a twist to make it particularly special. In the spirit of promoting mental wellness and rest, I decided to make a larger, coloring book printable available on my Dropbox so that you can print it out and color it.  This should print out nicely on regular U.S. Letter-size (8.5" x 11") or A4 paper.  The details are a bit finer than I expected, though, so I’d recommend coloring with thin markers or colored pencils. I hope my piece will make you smile and relax a little. Perhaps you yourself will be inspired to soak in a warm bath tonight, or give your pet extra cuddles. Enjoy! @bokumonobigbang

Hello!

I'm once again participating in @bokumonobigbang! This time my drawing program didn't mess up so I could actually make some proper art this time for it.

Also the art is a tad old as I finished it around the end of December/beginning of January.

If you haven't already, check out my partner Chickadee's story for the big bang, Waiting in the Wings.

It's accidentally christmas themed. Whoops.

It also works as fireflies though so it can also not be christmas themed.

I did some experimenting and I think it turned out alright! Holly's facial expression is a little weird in my personal opinion but it works for what I wanted it for.

Overall, it was a fun experience drawing this.

Here's the second drawing.

This one is more focused on Stephanie's past. I really liked the backstory that Chickadee came up for this drawing. It really fit to the overall vibe of a younger Stephanie performing.

Fun fact, this outfit is actually based on one of her other outfits that her character designer was considering for Stephanie. I think it looks great in my opinion.

Overall, I think this drawing fits the vibe of the past very well.

And that's my entry for this year's Bokumono Big Bang! As always, I had lots of fun, and can't wait to see what the organizers plan next year for this.

In case you missed it earlier, the story to go along with these drawings is Waiting in the Wings by Chikadee!

For the Bokumono Reverse Big Bang, I worked with @lulururuartcorner on a collaboration starring Holly and Stephanie from Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns. Check out LuluRuru’s wonderful artworks in the link above!

Turning her head, she saw Pony’s eyes focusing on her and a soft smile gracing her features. In that moment, she knew she was in love with this girl, and she wouldn’t trade what they had for anything else.

my piece for the bokumono reverse big bang 2023. sorry ive been gone to roll around in the grass but im glad i finally got to make something for these two hehehe 🧡

read @sketch-witch's accompanying fic here.

And our posting week has begun! 🎉

We’ll be reblogging & retweeting our contributors’ amazing works for the next few days - keep watch for more updates!

[bokumonobigbang]

It's after midnight, so it's officially Thursday and I can post this now!

It's time for the Bokumono Reverse Big Bang y'all!

Operation: Save the Magic Gen; 18k; Fritz, Annie, Raeger, Mistel, and Cast When they discover that Fritz still believes in Santa Claus, Annie and Raeger take it upon themselves to to give him a magical Christmas. Mistel overhears their plans and decides to become a Problem On Purpose. The opposing teams race towards their Christmas Eve deadline, vying to make the most magical Christmas and to stop Christmas from coming.

I had the privilege or getting paired up with @pansy-picnics this time around, working off her idea and art to create this story.

It might just be a little off season, but I'm of the opinion that a holiday story can be appreciated at any time of the year if you're in the mood for one. And I had an absolute blast writing this piece!

I write so much angst normally I don't often get to let loose and just let characters have fun and be silly. But hoo boy I got to with this one! I think it's fair to say that everybody's brain cells are all hibernating for the winter, but that's okay. They have Christmas spirit filling in for the brain cells.

I hope y'all enjoy, and please take a look at the gorgeous art Pansy made for this event that inspired it all!

good MORNING everyone and HAPPY BOKUMONO BIG BANG DAY <3<3

omfg YALL!!! i have been working on this project for months and it has been SO hard to keep quiet about it but its FINALLY TIME !!!!

this time around it was the reverse big bang, and i had the opportunity to work with the amazing @beck-a-leck (who has already written some of my favorite fics ever so you KNOW we’re in for a treat)

since i was the one organizing the plot here, it was almost a bit daunting at first- but i eventually settled on an old sos1 idea i had come up with about….maybe 2 years ago? during a brainstorming session with @sosstash which was just a silly, sitcom-holiday special esque plot full of goofy christmasy shenanigans. i was honestly very attached to the idea but deep down i knew i would never write it, which is why i was willing to pull it out again…..even if its not exactly “in season” anymore LMFAO

and guys,,,,,,working with beck on this has been SUCH an amazing experience!! the end result is all i could’ve imagined for the story and SO much more. i literally could not ask for a better partner. this silly little story brings me so much unfathomable joy and i’m so excited to finally share it with all of you!!!!

overall i had an absolute field day getting to plan out these pieces and capture the energy i envisioned for this story, the colors are probably my favorite part!! if you’re anything like me and just love seeing your favs be absolute fucking losers while all being best friends then THIS is the fic for you 🫶🫶 absolutely nobody in this story has a functioning braincell and i love it so much

This might be a silly question but what exactly is a Big Bang? And what’s the difference between it and a reverse Big Bang?

That's not a silly question at all, it's an excellent one! Thanks for asking 💕

A Big Bang is a collaborative challenge for two individuals in a team to create one fanfiction and one or more accompanying artworks. The teams work on their fanfictions and artworks for a few months in secret and then reveal the works together at a later date. The way it's run can change a bit, but if the artist selects their writer by picking from a handful of anonymized summaries, it's considered a typical Big Bang.

In a Reverse Big Bang, the artists create 1 or 2 artwork sketches with brief written concepts attached for the writers to select from. The sketches and summaries are again anonymized so pairing is random. This allows the artists to determine the groundwork for the collaboration, instead of the writers.

A Big Bang in any form exists for the purpose of promoting fanworks creation in order to boost content for a fandom for everyone to enjoy!
