✧ chore day ⎯୧

✧ amy rose x reader

note: this is for the community writing challenge on @affinitytales discord! we voted on the character and then were given the prompt chore day :D

cw: none- all fluff, no gendered pronouns or descriptions used for the reader ✧

Today’s your least favorite day of the week. The end of the weekend, and time to finally be productive.

You used to be able to put it off (sometimes)- when you were living on your own- Amy's started to take up your routine with you since she’s pretty much moved into your home.

And while you adore her, and are extremely happy to share spaces and spend your time with her- you don’t particularly like cleaning. Or folding laundry. Or doing chores in general, really.

And she gets pretty… determined to get you motivated to actually do work. Even if she has to drag you out of your nest of blankets and pillows you call your bed.

“C'monnn!” She laughs, tugging on your arm. You know she could easily tug you out of bed- she's way stronger than you are- but her grip is loose and her tone is playful, even as you groan.

“We have a lot to do today!” Amy says gleefully once you sit up, legs swung around to hang over the side of your bed.

She’s made a list, you realize, an actual written out list.

God, she’s so cute.

Your feet drag as she pulls you into your kitchen, dishes sat on the drying rack from the night before.

“First of all, dishes need to be put away. Then we have to do laundry, clean out the fridge, and sweep…”

You’re trying to focus on her rambling off the list of chores, but you just can’t. You zone out slightly in the middle- not because you don’t want to listen to her, but because you get distracted.

Distracted by Amy.

The way she talks, the way she holds herself, the way her eyes flicker around the house as she lists off things that need to be fixed or cleaned, the way she smiles as she glances back at you-

The way she almost instantly knows you weren’t paying any attention and that smile drops into mild, yet affectionate, annoyance.

“Are you even paying attention??” She accuses, grabbing your arms. Her skirt swooshes back animatedly as she leans forward, pout on her lips.

“To you? Always,” You reply, shifting her grip so you can hold her hand.

Her face flushes a pretty pink, almost red, similar to her quills. A wobbly smile is present on her face- from her trying to hide the grin she can’t quite help.

“O-okay, fine, but listen, okay?!” Amy chides, shaking her head.

You just giggle and nod, and she huffs.

“Just, put the dishes away to start. We can do it bit-by-bit.”

You nod, giving her hand a quick squeeze before finally letting it go. You shuffle over to the sink, before turning to her, a lazy grin on your face.

“If I do a good job, can I get a kiss?” You ask, eagerly, and she flushes darker.

“I- You know what? Yeah.”

She turns away, grabbing a basket off the kitchen table and trodding away to your shared bedroom.

Too cute…!

Dishes are a quick task- they’re all already done and dried, so you can quickly put them in the correct cabinets and drawers.

You meander around to the bedroom after you're done, looking for Amy so she can give you your next task.

She’s not there- but you remember what she said was next. Laundry, of course.

You pause, recalling the bit of the list you paid attention to.

“…laundry, clean out the fridge, and sweep…”

If she’s doing laundry, you might as well pick up the next task.

Knowing Amy, she probably listed it by how badly it needed to be done. Probably.

So, you make your way back to your kitchen, swinging open the fridge door.

It used to be so empty before she moved in (even if it was an ‘unofficial’ moving in), but now it’s plenty stocked for the two of you. You remember how she reacted when she saw your (embarrassingly) empty fridge- nothing more than a few apples, some lunchmeat, and energy drinks.

Horror, almost, was on her face before she dragged you to the store to ‘restock’ everything.

Not much as a restock as just… actually grocery shopping for the first time since you moved into your house.

You smile at the memory. She had dragged you around the store- making sure to get all the ‘absolute necessities’ as she put it.

Your hand drifts over one of the drawers, starting with the fruit drawer.

Most of it is pretty fresh- Amy had just brought some home the other day.

(You remember feeling your heart squeeze the first time she said she brought something home- hearing her refer to your shared space as home just felt so right.)

You sort through it slowly, checking dates on anything packaged, setting anything expired or that smelled bad to the side.

The trash was across the kitchen. Too far to individually throw everything away, surely.

It doesn’t matter that your kitchen is tiny.

You close the drawer, moving on.

Everything is pretty much fresh- it’s a little empty right now, in between shopping trips.

You close the fridge, watching as the light switches off right before you shut the door.

“Done with the fridge?”

You jump slightly- not really paying attention to your surroundings while so immersed with the fridge.

You turn, eyes a little wide- but Amy stands behind you, an easy smile on her face while she holds a broom and dustpan.

“Laundry’s folded- there’s another load but after that it’ll be caught up. Plus I sweeped the laundry room, and our bedroom too.”

Nodding, you pick up the few things you plucked out of the fridge, and plopping it into the trash can.

“Oh, the strawberries went bad? Man…” Amy sighs, moving to one side of the room to set the broom against a counter.

“Yeah, they were starting to smell weird. And they were kinda squishy…” You say, making a ‘so-so’ motion with your hand.

Amy nods, grabbing her list again.

“Next iiiiis…”

You listen to her list off a few more chores- and while you don’t particularly like cleaning…

You like Amy. And spending time with her- and you know a clean house makes her happy. And you’d do anything, really, to make her happy.

Maybe it’s not your least favorite day anymore- it hasn’t felt like a dread to get up and do chores for a while, now.

Not while she’s here.

Okay, so people wanted clarification on the art swap thing, so here's a quick list of "guidelines."

Welcome to the Sonic Fankid Swapmeet everyone!

I have no clue how long this thing is gonna last, but hey its a fun challenge so who cares.

1. Choose an artist to attack. It's preferred that they were part of the Showdown beforehand, as people unaware of the event might get confused. Doesn't mean you aren't allowed to, but please be weary. Spectators of the Showdown can attack their favorite participants if they'd like, however.

2. Characters drawn for these attacks should be fankid ocs. Preferably the ones used in the polls, but if the artist has other fankids, they are also fair game.

3. If you are attacked, it is expected you attack back, if only out of respect of the other artist's effort.

4. If you have attacked or been attacked previously, this doesn't prevent you from attacking other people as well. If you've got a ton of artists you want to support, send em attacks! There's no limit on attacks until the event kinda just dies off. After that point it'd be kinda weird to carry on. Unless you like drawing things for people. That's pretty cool of you.

5. Pin all associated posts with #Sonic Fankid Swapmeet and tag @sapphanimates

6. Do not reblog or tag new oc references with the swapmeet tag.

Anyways, any other questions just ask in the comments and i'll make edits to address them.

Oh, and if you are or plan on participating can you let me know? I'll make a list of everyone so it doesn't get messy. (I'm also just gonna plug a @sonic-fankid-showdown here too real quick...)

Community Challenge - Cross-Legends Adventures

Expanding Hyrule is excited to announce its first prompt challenge: Cross-Legends Adventures! We hope this collab focused project will help connect more creators in EH together and we're looking forward to all the shenanigans these prompts might create! Team up with other Original Legends creators to get your cast in all kinds of trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules

This post begins the prep period for this challenge. Posting will start August 3rd, 2025. Posts can go out for a prompt at any point after that prompt week starts. You do not need to participate in all prompts to be included. See the prompt list below for dates.

This is a collaborative prompt challenge! All entries should have at least two creators involved. We will keep a running list on this post of people open to collaborate, but if you're looking for some help finding a partner, submit a form here and we'll help match you with someone looking to collaborate. You can also join EH's Discord, we will have a running thread for this challenge there.

All mediums are welcome, how you coordinate that collab is up to you!

As this is an Expanding Hyrule challenge, all entries do need to be about Original Legends works (see the definition on our pinned post if you are unfamiliar). This particular challenge idea was inspired by Links Meet stories, but there is not a requirement for these to focus on only OC Links. You can follow OC Zeldas, villains, or show off original side characters.

If you don't have an Original Legends works but want to participate, we will also accept collaborations between creators with original characters made for someone else's Original Legends settings.

When you post: If you post to Tumblr, be sure to tag @expanding-hyrule and use the tag #Cross-Legends so we can reblog it here. If it's on AO3, add it to the AO3 collection here, or tag us in your post about it and we will bookmark it.

Works that use AI in any form will NOT be included in this challenge.

I have another community challenge for you all!

What is this??? 👇

First person to answer correctly gets to submit a theme day for this Monday!

[fluffernuttermushroom]

KND Community Challenge

1: when did you start watching the show?

 I think it was near the end of 2023? I was introduced to the fandom by one of the comics that @fallen-gabrielle posted. I was a fan of old fashioned cartoons already and loved the unique art style! A few comics and several episodes later, I was hooked!

2: favorite season?

I haven’t watched trough the entire series yet(Currently on season 3). But Iike season three for all the new characters introduced!

3: favorite episode?

T.U.R.N.I.P.

T.H.E.-F.L.Y.

Q.U.I.E.T.

G.R.O.W.-U.P.

D.O.G.F.I.G.H.T.

F.U.T.U.R.E.

U.T.O.P.I.A.

4: hated episode?

P.I.N.K.E.Y.E. (ick)

5: favorite character?

Favorite character(s)!

Rachel(I often feel her ‘I have been everyone’s councilor at this point and I am tired of people’ feeling. Is this an INFJ thing?),

Hoagie(He reminds me of my cousin + we have the shared love for bad puns & dad jokes!),

Abby(Cool!),

Sally Sanban(I am obsessed with her for some reason),

Nigel’s grandson(Same reason with Sally. Dunno why), 

6: did you cry when you watch OP INTERVIEWS?

I didn't cry but It felt quite bitter sweet. I’m the sort of person who watches the end before finishing a series. So I kind of scrolled through the entire wiki and watched I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. before actually watching the C:KND. It is an inevitable fate for all kids to grow up to grow old and gray at some point. But I have never seen characters grown up in a cartoon before. The whole episode made KND hit a bit too close to home to me. 

Ironically the episode that made me upset the most ended up being one of the reasons that I like about the KND. 

You will grow up

But you will never grow out of some things

7: funniest moment?

Wally saying “C’mon she already has every single rainbow monkey there is!”

And then watching in horror as the rainbow monkey aircraft coming into view before saying;

“Oh yeah, except that one.”

8: saddest moment?

Abby giving up in Operation M.A.U.R.I.C.E. after facing that every one she knows and loves in the KND will turn into teens & forget about her eventually. 

9: favorite KND artist?

Again, can’t pick just one! This is going to be long so the list of artists and why I like them are listed below

10: favorite canon KND ship?

3x4 and 2x5

11: favorite headcanon KND ship?

Ummm... can’t choose! Straight, Gay, Lesbian, Pan, Poly, Platonic I love & have them all!

I have a lot of different head cannons for different scenarios.

But the ones in my fanfiction are currently 1x362, 60x86, 2xAce(the kid), 83x84, 23x35

12: what's one thing you love about the fandom?

The thousands of fan theories, fan fiction with their own interesting head cannons, multiple aus and crossovers, and of course the beautiful fanart with unique art styles!

13: what's one thing you hate about the fandom?

Those weird pedo & insest shippers that keep spawning out of nowhere

14: do you wish there were more die hard KND fans in the fandom?

YES. A thousand times YES.

15: when did you start drawing KND art?

Near the start of May 2024 and have been drawing almost daily ever since! But It’s mostly animation plans and sketches so I don’t post often nowadays 

:P

16: how old were you when you started drawing KND art?

Hm, will answer that on my birthday.

17: how old are you now and are you still drawing KND art?

Same with the answer above! I will answer on my birthday

18: what's one thing you wish would stop in the fandom?

The pedo & insest ships, art thefts, rude requests and just disrespecting other people.

19: quick pick your favorite 2×4?

M.A.R.B.L.E.(Mustardy Armament Releases Big Loud Explosion) and 

G.A.R.G.O.C.Y.C.L.E.(Granite Augmented Rocket Glider Outstandingly Creates Your Cool Looking Escape)!

20: what's your Codename?

Numbuh 9.24!

Merry Kissmas!

Hi everyone! The community challenge this Kissmas will be a moodboard/collage challenge! If you’d like!

I’ve not really been active here as much as I should be. I’ve been a bit busy but this account will be up and running again soon.

[kaleoscope]

NEW FNAF FANART GAME Hey! So yesterday at 4am I had a vision and scribbled a messy sketch on my phone but it gave me an idea!

You can draw your own version/interpretation of this sketch! If you decide to do so, make sure to @ me so I can reblog your art!

More info below

For some context, maybe it'll be helpful, maybe not:

The sketch is inspired by the song "still feel." by half•alive

It's scooped Michael suddenly waking up with Ennard's wires visibly coming out of his chest

There aren't really any rules and there's NO DEADLINE

You can do whatever you want with this sketch.

You can do a quick sketch or a fully rendered piece, you can use some funky colors, change the pose a little, change the composition, whatever you feel like will work best!

The only important thing is that you REMEMBER TO @ ME to ensure I can see and rb your work!

If for some reason I don't see it, PLEASE @ ME AGAIN - don't be afraid to do it!

Hope you have fun with it if anyone decides to try it out <3

I'll do my own version as well and I'm really excited to see how other people can interpret this silly lil sketch
