bye bye, al-to week 〒▽〒

and with that, alma torran week 2025 has now (unfortunately) ended!

thank you so much to everyone who participated this year!! i was so worried that this event would've totally flopped and it made me so happy to find out that wasn't the case (≧▽≦*)!! i absolutely loved seeing everyone's art and i hope even more people participate next time—because yes, i plan on there being a next time :)

to everyone that couldn't participate this year, please stick around til next july for alto week 2026 (❁´◡`❁) this year's submissions consisted entirely of fanart, but non-artists, do not despair! like i stated in the masterpost, ALL fanworks are accepted and appreciated, including fanfiction, edits, headcanons, graphics, etc. and i'm more than looking forward to see what everyone has to offer. the alto week collection on ao3 will be kept up and reused for next year ^_^

also, when i made this account i had originally intended to keep the setta theme year-round, but i had the bright idea to perhaps change the theme to a new character each year. so please kindly share your thoughts in the following poll:

if you have any inquiries, feel free to inbox me or drop something in my askbox.

until next time! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

A minor stress of yarncrafts which I don't see discussed much:

There is a small tangle in your yarn. Topologically you know it must be a slipknot; if you give it a good firm tug, it should come undone.

Just how much force are you willing to stake on that?

Important to note among the itch drama: you gotta pressure payment processors to undo the same bans applied to Patreon, Gumroad, OF, and the many adult sites they already hit in the years leading up to this, too.

It CANNOT stop with itch.

Like y'all please don't abandon this if banned games come back— sex workers and adult artists have been under fire by this shit for the past couple years already.

Don't leave folk to dry if you get itch and steam fixed.

Anyway, it turns out I probably have ANOTHER infection. So that sucks.

And it's contagious. Again.

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!

I am constantly hurt by the callousness with which people dismiss the harm of restricting adult content and porn, only concerned about the knock-on effects for queer people and radical political groups. Sex workers ourselves matter just as much as non sex working queer people and leftists.

We are not canaries in the coal mine whose deaths you can dismiss while you frame groups you actually care about as the sole human casualties of these policies. I need you to care that laws like the Online Safety Act lead sex workers to have to return to abusive third parties to find clients or to work in brothels we hate or to such poverty that we starve. I need you to care about payment processors refusing to pay out for adult content because it means sex workers cannot rely on online work when selling sex in-person becomes too much for our bodies or too risky.

Please care about sex workers' suffering, rather than only the fact your favourite queer game was de-listed from itch.io and that you have to use a VPN to access adult subreddits without giving your ID now.

Hyperfixation is a medical term that does not denote the nature of the feelings one has around the topic/fixation. Hyperfixation ≠ devotion, enthusiasm, love, etc. it is not inherently positive or negative.

It exists and is used, because for those of us who form them, it is mentally painful to completely avoid the topic of the hp through its duration. When we aren't talking about it, we are probably still thinking about it.

Often, we even use them as a source of motivation to get through difficult tasks.

If you want to use those other words, do so. They probably fit well, even when they are also a Hyperfixation.

In a language that contains words like devotion, passion, enthusiasm, love, fascination, obsession, etc., I can’t help but regret this tendency to cram all those meanings into "hyperfixation," a word which manages to pathologize and medicalize the act of having interests.
