FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod's favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, "vocal chords", was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they're inspiring enough to trigger a whole month's worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of "apples" that didn't make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you'd like to take part in it!

if you have any questions, please check out the faq before sending an ask, or skim the blog's previously asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.

please note: notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form released towards the end of febuwhump, and if you are interested in joining the febuwhmp discord server, the link will be available to do so for one week towards the end of january.

[transthedasfest]

This is an event to celebrate trans characters and creators in the Dragon Age fandom!

It’s bleak right now for many of us, both in terms of politics and weather, so this is an attempt to spark some trans joy and uplift each other with a low-key but hopefully fun little fest that culminates on Trans Day of Visibility.

Schedule: Prompt submission: Feb 6-15 Prompt claiming: Feb 16-22 Posting: March 23-March 30 Works revealed: March 31 (aka Trans Day of Visibility!)

More info under ‘keep reading.’

@dragonagefanevents

How does this event work?

People submit prompts related to a certain theme and/or claim which prompt they’d like to write about or draw. At the end, all the writing and art is revealed on AO3.

What’s the theme?

Trans characters in Dragon Age — anything about them.

What is the schedule?

Prompt submission: Feb 6-15 Sign-up/prompt claiming: Feb 16-22 Posting: March 23-March 30 Works revealed: March 31

Do nonbinary/genderqueer characters count as trans?

Of course! That’s who the white stripe on the trans flag is for, y’know. This event is for all non-cis characters and creators.

I’m cis. Can I participate?

Sure, as long as you’re respectful and have done your research.

How do I participate?

- Make sure you have an AO3 account, because that is where works will be posted.

- Submit prompts via this form.

- There will be another form posted on Feb 16 to claim a prompt. Prompts are claimed on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will receive an email confirming which prompt you have claimed.

- You create something based on your prompt.

- Post your work to AO3, and make sure that you post it to the Trans Thedas Fest collection by entering “trans_thedas_fest” (without quotation marks) in the Post to Collections/Challenges box.

- Works will be revealed on March 31.

What do I need to write for a prompt?

You can be as vague as “something about [character name],” or as elaborate as you like. But try to be detailed enough to give writers/artists something to work with.

What characters can I write/draw/write prompts about?

Any of them, as long as the focus of the work is on a trans character—one of the canonically trans characters (such as Krem, Taash, Maevaris, etc), a trans OC, or a canon character that you headcanon as trans.

What are the requirements for what I create?

Fic: at least 500 words (no maximum word count)

Art: clean line art

Use of generative AI is not allowed.

Fanfic should be standalone (not part of a series).

Make sure it’s rated and tagged appropriately.

Please wait to post your pieces on social media until after they have been revealed on AO3.

Who are you?

I’m JJ (they/them). My main blog is @lordlaidir and my AO3 is undeadpirate.

I have other questions! How do I get in touch?

You can send a message on tumblr, send an ask, or send an email to transthedasfest@protonmail.com.

[crossstitchforgaza]

Cross-stitch artists of Tumblr-- let's make a difference!

Cross Stitch for Gaza is assembling a pattern bundle fundraiser: cross-stitch designers of any skill level are invited to submit a pattern of theirs (old or new) to be included in the pattern bundle. Once the bundle is complete, it will be offered as a reward to stitchers who make a donation of €15 or more to the GoFundMe of Hadeel Mikki and her family.

More info below the cut, and read the the full details at CrossStitchForGaza.com--

'To the Cross Stitch Community on Tumblr and Bluesky'

Our Goal

This pattern bundle is being assembled (by @mathysphere and friends) to help raise money for Hadeel Mikki and her family-- her mother, husband, two brothers, her two little girls, and her baby-- to escape and find safety out of Gaza. Their goal is to raise a total of €35,000 to pay for passage; as of this writing, they have already raised €20,000, so the aim of this campaign is to help raise the final €15,000. Plus, hopefully, a little extra, so that they will have something to live on once they cross over into Egypt.

If this fundraiser is successful at raising the money that Hadeel's family needs, then later donors may be directed to help with a campaign from another family. In that case, a family or individual will be chosen from the GazaVetter's list of verified campaigns.

The Bundle

For this fundraiser, we are collecting cross-stitch patterns to send as a bundle (one or more .ZIP files) to anyone who donates €15 or more to Hadeel Mikki's GoFundMe campaign during the duration of the campaign (March 7th to April 25th, 2025). Anyone who can make a cross-stitch pattern may 'donate' it to the cause-- you do not have to be an established or a professional pattern designer to contribute!

Once the fundraising event goes live, donors will be directed to give €15 or more to the GoFundMe campaign, and then submit a receipt or screenshot of their donation to the Cross Stitch for Gaza team. Within 24 hours, they will be sent back a .ZIP file or files containing the full set of patterns from the bundle. No money will be exchanged with the Cross Stitch for Gaza team at any point.

Each of the pattern-makers will also receive a copy of the full pattern bundle, as a thank-you. 🙏

The Tumblr cross-stitch community is not a large one, and not a rich one, but it doesn't have to be-- if we work together, we have the power to make a real difference for a family that desperately needs it.

In Hadeel's own words:

Maybe this fundraising effort is like a beacon in the darkness, our sole source of hope that we hold onto tightly. I urge the world to listen to my plea and the sorrowful cries of my Gaza kin. We desperately require the helping hand that can dry our tears and lead us to safety.

Your contribution is more than just money; it's a chance to reconstruct life and illuminate a brighter future. Join us in shaping a tale of hope, as we rely on your support to begin afresh.

[marauderswithpalestineproject]

How it works: Writers, artists and video editors of the Marauders fandom will create non-profit drabbles, sketches and edits in return for donations to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Once proof of donation is sent, your prompt will then be assigned to a writer/artist/editor to fulfill at random. The fics will be posted to the Ao3 collection Marauders With Palestine Project, while the sketches and edits will be posted to the creator’s own accounts.

Schedule:

Writer/artist volunteer sign up: March 11th - March 31st

Donation proof and prompt submissions: April 1st - April 22nd

Prompt assignment: April 23rd - April 31st

Writing and drawing: May 1st - july 1st

Answered prompts and posting will happen starting June 1st

For more information, see below:

General Rules:

Each contributor can donate more than once, but they’ll only be allowed to submit a maximum of three prompts, no matter their donation size.

Proof of donation is required for the prompts to be accepted and added to the list. 5 USD is the required minimum for SFW prompts, and 8 USD for NSFW prompts.

NSFW prompts can only be submitted by 18+ contributors and will be assigned to 18+ volunteers only.

Prompts need to be worded clearly to avoid confusion, and they can’t include more than four Marauders era characters. Contributors can specify if they prefer a fic or a drawing, but the final product will depend on availability and may change. Prompts will be assigned randomly.

The prompts may not contain: religious material, gore, explicit violence, incest, or non-con. Dead dove prompts are not allowed and hateful or politically inclined prompts will be automatically deleted. 

*This project is entirely non-profit and all money contributed by those who submit prompts is sent directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

For volunteers: Everyone is welcome! 

For writers: fics are advised to be a minimum of 1.5k words and you must have an Ao3 account to post them to the Marauders For Palestine Project collection. The works must be completely independent from any other works, and while they can be multichapter fics, they have to be published all in one go.

For artists; your contribution may be a drawing or doodle. Sketches are welcome, but there’s no need for background.

For video editors: your video may be longer than 15 seconds.

[invisobang]

The countdown to Invisobang 2025 begins! For those of you who don't know, Invisobang is a collaborative event for authors and artists. Over the course of several months, authors write fanfics and artists create art for those fics!

If you want to connect with other creators in the Phandom, this is the event for you!

How does it work?

Authors begin writing as soon as they sign up. Their goal is to write a fic with 5000 words minimum, although there is no maximum. Halfway through the event, they anonymously submit a profile of their fic.

Using these profiles, artists pick the fics that interest them the most and submit a claim. Mods will pair up authors and artists based on these claims.

During the second half of the event, authors finish their stories while artists make their art.

At the end of the event, participants share their work during posting week to create a big bang of content for everyone to ooh and aah at!

When is it, and how do I sign up?

Invisobang runs from February 14 to September 7. Author and artist sign-ups are staggered, while beta sign-ups are open for the first half of the event. You can sign up through a Google Form that will be posted with the opening announcement.

Authors: February 14–March 15

Beta readers: February 14–June 15

Artists and pinch hitters: May 16–June 15

Anything else I need to know?

The event is hosted through the Invisobang Discord. Participants must have a Discord account and be willing to join.

Co-authors can sign up in teams.

Artists must be able to make visual art or music, although you can make alternative art if your author is interested.

All content must be made new for the event, which means no continuing posted wips. Sequels and prequels to existing works are allowed, as well as ideas you’ve had sitting on the back burner (as long as they haven’t been posted before)

See the Invisobang info doc for information on rules, frequently asked questions, and the event schedule. If you still have questions after that, send it to the blog, or dm a mod (@kinglazrus, @bibliophilea, @strawberrycamel, and @underforeversgrace).

LOST TRAVELERS INFORMATIONAL GUIDE

Q: What is A Fest? 

A fest is a challenge in which participants choose a prompt or prompts from a list compiled by the fest moderator. It’s like telling tales, sharing art, and making music around the campfire. 

Q: Do I have to answer all the prompts? 

Of course not, Traveler! That’d be a lot of work! You can answer as many prompts as you want over as many days as you want. You can submit a single work for a single prompt during the whole week, or try to hit them all. 

Q: Do I have to write for this? 

Traveler, we aren’t all tale spinners and that’s a good thing! You can respond in any medium you want, art, fic, pod fic, playlists, or anything else you can think of is fine!

Q: If I do write, is there a word limit? 

Nope. 

Q: Is shipping allowed? 

Yes.

Q: Are spoilers okay here? 

Did they not cover that in training? Traveler, spoilers are fine as long as you tag for it.

Q: What does “open prompt” for Day 7 mean?

The sky’s the limit on open prompt day! You can submit anything you want, as long as it complies with the rest of the rules. 

Q: I'm ready to submit! When can I do that?

During the submission period from March 2nd - March 8th on each prompts day. You can also submit any prompts during the late submission period from March 9th - March 15th.

Q: Right. How do I submit?

We're retiring the submission feature, that’s for sure. When you're ready to post just post on your blog and @ the event blog somewhere in the post. We will reblog posts in the order they were received.

Q: I have another question. 

That’s why there’s an ask button, Traveler.

The Ideal Candidate

Sean adjusted his tie as he sat stiffly in the oversized chair. The reception area of Aceman Inc. was sleek and modern, but the high ceilings and muted decor only seemed to amplify his nervousness. He still couldn’t believe he was here. Applying for the HR position had been a whim—a shot in the dark. The company was known for favoring seasoned professionals with decades of experience, not fresh-faced 23-year-olds.

Yet here he was, summoned for an interview less than 24 hours after submitting his application. The rapid turnaround was shocking, but Sean was determined to make a strong impression. He’d gone all out, picking a bright green suit and pairing it with an orange tie adorned with playful wavy patterns. It was bold and a bit unconventional—just like him. “Let them see the real me,” his boyfriend had said with a supportive grin that morning.

The receptionist called his name, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Sean Ackerman? Mr. Johnson will see you now.”

Sean stood, smoothing his jacket and taking a deep breath. He could do this. As he stepped into the office, Mr. Johnson, a man in his mid-fifties with a sharp suit and an air of authority, looked up from his desk. His initial surprise at Sean’s attire was subtle but unmistakable.

“Ah, Mr. Ackerman,” Johnson said, motioning to the chair opposite his desk. “Please, have a seat.”

Sean sat down, his bright tie contrasting vividly with the subdued tones of the office. Mr. Johnson flipped through a stack of papers, then looked up with a faint smile.

“We were impressed by your resume,” he began, “but as you know, Aceman holds its candidates to high standards. I want to ensure you’re a true fit for our team.”

Sean nodded, sitting straighter, his confidence bolstered by the compliment. “Of course. I’m ready to prove myself.”

“Good,” Johnson said, his tone shifting to something more evaluative. “Let’s begin. At Aceman, we value experience. Our ideal candidate typically has years of professional growth—someone in their late thirties or early forties.”

Sean opened his mouth to respond but paused, a strange wave of agreement settling over him. His joints ached faintly as he shifted in his chair. It made sense, didn’t it? After all, he’d graduated over 15 years ago. The protest marches, career changes, and long hours had taken their toll, but they’d shaped him into the seasoned professional he was today.

Johnson continued, his gaze sharp. “We also value tradition. Aceman’s dress code is strict for a reason—it reflects our commitment to professionalism and respect.”

Sean glanced down at his outfit, and a pang of embarrassment hit him. What had he been thinking? A green suit? An orange tie? No, he would never wear something so garish to an interview. His navy-blue suit was crisp, his tie perfectly knotted. Professionalism was paramount, and he was proud to represent it.

“And most importantly,” Johnson said, leaning forward slightly, “we embody conservative values: faith, family, and duty. Our employees must reflect these principles in their actions and beliefs.”

Sean felt his cross pendant brush against his chest, a comforting weight. Of course, faith was central to his life. He’d always known God’s path was the right one, guiding him through every challenge. His voting record spoke for itself—unwaveringly Republican since he turned 18. As for family, there was nothing more sacred. His wife, Ashley, and their three boys were his world. Raising them with the right values was his greatest responsibility.

Johnson leaned back, studying Sean with an approving nod. “You’re shaping up to be an ideal candidate, Mr. Ackerman. We’d be honored to have you on board.”

Sean stood, extending his hand confidently. “Thank you, Mr. Johnson. I’m eager to contribute to Aceman’s success and think I have a lot to offer the company.”

"I believe so as well. I'm sure you'll bring in lots of ideal candidates after your training period ends."

Spencer Reid A-Z Masterlist

these are written as a story with each letter being a new chapter. I recommend reading in chronological order for story purposes, but these could also work as one shots.

unless explicitly stated, all my fics ignore anything related to jeid, and in my universe, maeve simply does not exist. i do like the idea that spencer and ethan may have had a romance in college

the following events are removed from canon: anything related to a jeid romance, maeve (i just can't have reader and spencer break up for her character to have her moment)

the following events are what i believe to have happened before this timeline began: spencer and ethan had a small (non-sexual) romance in college which is the real reason why they hadn't spoken in years, spencer is a virgin, lila archer events did occur, however i do not believe he had real feelings for her, he was just doing his job (i do think he enjoyed the kiss though, because who wouldn't)

I’ve put them in a timeline and they are further categorized by emojis

[sleepyorchidmonster]

Genshin event where we temporarily work in Xilonen's workshop as assistants.

The event's main role is to take up and manage comissions from clients, a bit like the bartender event. Clients fill out the required forms, so their requests can either come with detailed blueprints or a general vibe of what they want and we must manage them.

Another feature would be a Xilonen mood bar that gets depleted with each new project she completes and requires time or limited events (such as naps and DJ sessions) to be restored (kinda like March 7th's Primaveral Blade Event in hsr).

There are four types of projects:

- Small projects with a detailed blueprint (-15 mood bar);

- Small projects with just a general idea of what they want (-30 mood bar) ;

- Big projects with detailed blueprints (-45 mood bar);

- Big projects with just a general idea of what they want (-60 mood bar).

And every day we also get a special visit from the other characters, mostly with requests or small stories, though those requests won't drain Xilonen's mood:

- Mavuika appears once a day, right before the workshop's closing time (she has way too much work and only gets time off at the end of the day). She will come with detailed blueprints and schematics of the craziest projects possible (a car, an helicopter, a jenga game, hair accessories for her flaming hair, etc), Xilonen will usually just say "no" and run away, though she did craft the jenga game and the hair accessories;

- Kachina, Mualani and Kinich will come and ask her to fix Turbo-Twirly (some bullies broke it). Xilonen fixes it right away, free of charge, but not before joining Mualani, Kinich and Traveler in a revenge quest (Mavuika was there too, but stayed to guard the workshop and cook some Saurus Crackers for Kachina);

- Citlali asks for a special comission related to a light novel she recently read (either an action figure or a replica of a weapon from the story);

- Ororon comes along requesting a way to protect his crops from harsh weather, which leads to a whole mini quest featuring a cameo of Ifa;

- Lyney shows up with a damaged Pers and a few of its schematics, though Lynette will appear the next day to retrieve the penguin and request a contraption that they can use for their magic shows, with the three siblings coming to thank Xiolonen the day after (Freminet got injured during a mission in Sumeru's desert, but since Sumeru is mostly Dottore's turf, the twins decided to regroup with Capitano's soldiers in Natlan. Lynette was guarding an unconscious Freminet while Lyney searched for a skilled craftsperson to repair Pers, since he's the extroverted one);

- Furina makes an appearance, with some ideas for stage props (Neuvillette can be seen in a nearby lake, chilling with the capybaras);

- Kaveh also makes a visit, curious about the use of phlogiston. He was visiting Natlan in the hopes of helping with rebuilding efforts and ended up meeting Mavuika. They chatted for a while about the nation's architecture, as well as possible future collaborations between Natlan and Sumeru and, when it was time for Mavuika's nightly visit to Xilonen's workshop, Kaveh decided to tag along, even helping the Traveler dissuade Mavuika from submitting one of her crazy blueprints (instead of a flying fortified hospital, Kaveh got a few fennec fox toys as a souvenir, Xilonen appreciates the help);

- Paimon and Little One also make an appearance, visiting the Traveler and requesting "a reminder of our journey through Natlan". We can choose what the Traveler will create, with the options being a small Tepetlisaur figurine, a metal plate with Paimon, Traveler and Little One or an accessory for the Traveler that matches Little One's scarf (a hairband for Aether or an earring for Lumine, maybe);

- In the last day, Nepecha will ask for a comission as well, presenting her own blueprints. It's just a toy, but Xilonen is super proud of her, and the blueprints can later be seen framing one of the workshop's walls, even after the event's end

Event rewards would include primos, a few teapot decorations and maybe a namecard, as well as a new sword (a gift from Xilonen and the best weapon for Traveler, it even allows them to immediately change elements, no Statue of the Seven required).

Not sure what to create? I will be taking prompt suggestions over the next few days, which I will then compile and post, to help with the inspiration. That being said, create whatever you want! Create what Fivesoka content you haven’t seen yet, but would like to. Create whatever makes you happy!

There are a few RULES…

1 — Please only create content in which Ahsoka is portrayed as an adult. Whether you want to age her up during TCW or have your setting be after TCW or an AU, up to you!

2 — Aside from that, anything goes, as long as it is Fivesoka-centric. Just make sure to tag sensitive content accordingly. (Smut/NSFW, trigger warnings, character deaths, etc.) If you’re not sure if you should tag something, tag it anyway, just to be safe! Also, please put NSFW content under a cut here on Tumblr.

3 — Creations that will NOT be accepted: AI or plagiarized work. Any creations depicting hate or harassment of any kind. Creations in which either character is underage.

4 — Please be kind and considerate! The Fivesoka community is very small, so let’s support each other as much as possible!

Since many of us are in different parts of the world, the official time for the event will be rather loose. Just try to post on March 15, whenever that is for you! And if you post later, I’ll still reblog. 😊

Feel free to message me either here on @everythingfivesoka or on my @tealmisthams account with any questions!

Also, let me know if you’d like to be tagged in future posts related to this event!

Thanks, you guys. I’m so excited!

~ Misty 💙🧡

Artist sign-ups opening soon!

For those of you who don't know, Invisobang is a collaborative event for authors and artists. Over the course of several months, authors write fanfics and artists create art for those fics!

If you want to connect with other creators in the Phandom, this is the event for you!

How does it work?

Authors begin writing as soon as they sign up. Their goal is to write a fic with 5000 words minimum, although there is no maximum. Halfway through the event, they anonymously submit a profile of their fic.

Using these profiles, artists pick the fics that interest them the most and submit a claim. Mods will pair up authors and artists based on these claims.

During the second half of the event, authors finish their stories while artists make their art.

At the end of the event, participants share their work during posting week to create a big bang of content for everyone to ooh and aah at!

When is it, and how do I sign up?

Invisobang runs from February 14 to September 7. Author and artist sign-ups are staggered, while beta sign-ups are open for the first half of the event. Each role has a Google Form that will be posted when sign-ups open.

Authors: February 14–March 15 (CLOSED)

Betas: February 14–June 15 (OPEN)

Artists: May 16–June 15 (OPENING SOON)

Anything else I need to know?

The event is hosted through the Invisobang Discord. Participants must have a Discord account and be willing to join.

Artists must be able to make visual art or music, although you can make alternative art if your author is interested.

All content must be made new for the event.

See the Invisobang info doc for information on rules, frequently asked questions, and the event schedule. If you still have questions after that, send it to the blog, or dm a mod (@kinglazrus, @bibliophilea, @strawberrycamel, and @underforeversgrace).

Evidence of a powerful link between smartphones, social media and depression, anxiety and self-harm among teenagers, especially girls, is growing, with new Australian research naming 2012 as the year that ushered in a mental health crisis.

The study of longitudinal data found there is a strong correlation between when an individual was born, how old they were when Instagram and Snapchat came into their lives, and self-reported mental health distress and social isolation.

“Young women born since the late 1990s report much lower levels of mental health than earlier generations and compared to their male counterparts,” the analysis from independent think tank e61 says.

“This generation has lived their teenage years when photo- and video-sharing social media platforms became popular in Australia.

“We also find that lower mental health is highly correlated to self-reported feelings of social isolation as measured through friendship connections.”

The analysis was submitted as evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into mental health and social media and whether age limits should be imposed on young people being able to access such platforms, among other things.

The analysis shows that self-reported scores on young women’s mental health declined from 73 per cent to 62 per cent between 2011 and 2022, while for young men it fell from 74.5 per cent to 67.5 per cent.

“Youth mental health was stable but then began falling sharply after 2012,” said Gianni La Cava, e61 research director.

Women aged 15 to 24 are the heaviest users of social media. Nearly 90 per cent of them use social media every day, or most days, compared with 62 per cent of women aged over 25.

There has also been a corresponding decline in friendships and feelings of isolation.

The e61 analysis notes some experts argue that social media can be a source of good for some young people, and mental health responses are individualised.

It also notes that there have been vast reductions in the stigmatisation of mental health issues among young people, which means that more may be comfortable in reporting it.

However, e61 says this “would not explain a sudden drop since the 2010s”.

In South Australia, former High Court judge Robert French was tasked in May with examining the legal consequences of banning children under the age of 14 from having social media accounts. The model would also require teenagers aged 14 and 15 have parental consent to access social media platforms.

In March, the US state of Florida legislated to ban social media accounts for children under 14, while Texas has legislated to require parental consent before allowing a user under the age of 18 to open an account. Spain also bans children under 14 from accessing a social network.

A growing body of evidence is linking social media and mental health. A survey by mental health service ReachOut this year found that 60 per cent of parents said they were concerned about their child’s use of social media and 55 per cent agreed that social media had a significant impact on their child’s wellbeing.

A US study found that adolescents who spend more than three hours a day on social media face double the risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes.
