[rosemarymonths]

Introducing a full October of rosemary!! (Oct. 1st - 31st)

You can submit fanart, fics, cosplays, etc for any prompts!! Late submissions are also perfectly valid. The calendar + cover were designed by ilovedogboys on twitter & tumblr!

Prompts:

Day 1: Dating

How do you think post retcon Rosemary’s date went? Or what do you think happened right after their first drunken kiss in pre retcon?? Or what do YOU think Rose and Kanaya should have done on their first date?

Day 2: Aspects

Light and Space, it’s self explanatory.

Day 3: Cats

Girls with cats!!

Day 4: Moths

Girls with moths!! Or maybe it’s a mothman au?

Day 5: Video Games / Movies

Lesbian gaming time or watching bad vampire movies? You decide!

Day 6: Books

Rose and Kanaya sure do love to read! What are they reading though while they’re being all coy and shy with each other??

Day 7: Addictions/Insecurities

Rose’s liquor issue, Kanaya’s uncontrollable thirst for blood, and their individual insecurities is the feelings jam for today.

Day 8: Warrior Cats

I made a threat that if I was in charge of rosemary month, I would make warrior cats a whole prompt. Are they feral fantasy cats, or maybe 10 year olds larping on the black top?

Day 9: Meteorstuck

What did Rose and Kanaya get up to on the meteor?? Did Dave third wheel like a clingy child and not leave an ounce of alone time for them?

Day 10: AUs

Choose your favorite AUs!!

Day 11: Meeting the Guardians

Rose and Kanaya meet each other’s parents!! How’d it go?

Day 12: Jasprose Love Day

A whole day dedicated to Jasprose being a pesky, pesky sweet catgirl and bugging Rose and Kanaya endlessly.

Day 13: Trickster

Rose somehow comes into contact with cherub drugs, oh boy!

Day 14: Family

Got any rosemary fankids on Earth C? The most happiest ending, after all, is just Rose, Kanaya, and their fat baby.

Day 15: Sadstuck

What depressing scenario are you cooking up for Rose and Kanaya this day? Remember Game Over??

These two sure do go through a lot together.

Day 16: Spring

Lesbians going through seasonal changes!! What are Rose and Kanaya doing during Spring?

Day 17: Summer

What summery activities are Rose and Kanaya up to?

Day 18: Fall

The most comfiest season of them all, what adorable things are Rose and Kanaya during Fall?? Playing in the dead leaves??

Day 19: Winter

Rose and Kanaya surviving through winter; are they out in the snow or bundled up inside their house?

Day 20: Earth / Alternia

All about Rose and Kanaya’s childhoods.

Day 21: Grimdark/Rainbow Drinker

The parallels of their grief fueled rages, their skin tones swapping, the fact they both got hit in the same spot!!

Day 22: Dreambubbles

Dead girlfriends get to reunite once again, as they should!

Day 23: Star-Crossed Lovers

Remember that time Karkat forbid sloppy interspecies makeouts??

Day 24: Fashion

Lesbians in some swanky outfits ohh yeahh.

Day 25: Rosemary Kiss Anniversary!!

The rosemary kiss panel is 10 years old!! Redraw to celebrate it!

Day 26: Wedding

Rose and Kanaya get married!!

Day 27: Honeymoon

What are they doing for their honeymoon?? Hopefully not causing any chaos.

Day 28: Rain / Sun

Maybe they’re going through weathers on Earth C?? Or perhaps we can talk about the contrasting weather between their home lives! Kanaya is awfully associated with the sun, and Rose could be linked with the rain. Either way, do something with rain or the sun!

Day 29: Double Date

Who are Rose and Kanaya going on a double date with?

Day 30: Lilith In Starlight

Let’s take a moment to remember that amazing rosemary song.

Day 31: Halloween!!

Rose and Kanaya celebrate Halloween!! What costumes are they wearing? Are they passing out candy? Going to halloween parties? Or maybe taking their child(ren) out for the night?? Or maybe they’re going trick or treating as a date, who knows!! Thank you for participating in rosemary month!!

Specific tags I’ll be tracking are: #rosemarymonth , #rosemarymonth2022

You can also @ this account to make sure! If you have any questions, the inbox is open. Happy rosemary month!!

If there's anything you guys think I need to post up on this pinned post, let me know!

[week-of-silver-winds]

Hello again, fellow Sephiroth fans! Starting October 23rd until October 29th, the 7th and 2023 version of Sephiroth Appreciation Week will be held. It’ll be a time to share your love for Sephiroth in any way you can (as in: art, fic, graphics, gifs, fanmixes and so on!) in the tag #sephirothweek. Thanks a ton for the support for 7 years!

The list of prompts follows, below. You’re free to be as creative with those as you can, (while always tagging sensitive content properly and minding the site’s rules) as you are also free to start working on your entries as soon as you wish, but please don’t forget to post them in the right date. (Delays are absolutely fine, but only up to 7 days after the 29th.)

Oct. 23 || Day 1. Beginnings

Oct. 24 || Day 2. Dove

Oct. 25 || Day 3. Weapon

Oct. 26 || Day 4. Free Day

Oct. 27 || Day 5. Memory

Oct. 28 || Day 6. Reunion

Oct. 29 || Day 7. In Circles

Please remember to include the week’s tag within the first 5 tags or else your work might end up unable to be found. (For the same reason, don’t separate the words of the #sephirothweek tag with spaces or dashes.) For ease of finding, it’s also highly recommended to tag this blog just to be safe as Tumblr’s tag system sometimes eats posts! Anything containing Character/Ship/Voice Actor/etc Hate WILL NOT be allowed, so avoid including those in your entries, as well as reposted/stolen work. Feel free to leave a message either here or over at Twitter if you have any questions.

If for some reason you’re still missed somehow, also feel free to message with a link to your work! We all know how wonky this site can be at times.

And if your work is too mature for this platform and you’re afraid of it not showing up or if you want to participate elsewhere, here’s the reminder that we have a TWITTER for the event! We also have an AO3 COLLECTION! Feel free to join wherever it feels best for you. Though, due to the general state of social media, everyone is highly encouraged to also post on the AO3 Collection in addition to your posting place of choice. (You can also post art or visual fanworks to AO3. Please use it if possible. Regardless of any delays, every work submitted to the AO3 collection will be accepted, as long as it's made for this or previous years events and follows guidelines.) For further details, please read the GUIDELINES.

May it be a fun event for everyone!

FAQ:

What must be included in the content of a filled prompt? Stephen Strange (any version of him: film, TV, or comics) must be either the main or co-main character. Otherwise, anything goes!

What must be included in the tags of Tumblr and Twitter posts? Please use the hashtag #strangehalloween2023 and the # of the prompt you're filling (i.e. #no6 and/or #witch). On Tumblr, please include additional tags for NSFW and common triggers (see AO3 for examples).

When can I post my prompt fill? In the spirit of the theme, these should be posted in October! We'd prefer if you post prompts the day of or after the day has passed. For example, prompt 10 fills can be posted on or after Oct 10, and preferably not before.

What medium can I use? Anything! Written prose, poetry, gifsets, mood boards, artwork, all is acceptable as a prompt fill. It's all about Stephen Strange in any form he comes in.

Can I combine Strange Tales of Halloween prompts into one submission (i.e. #1 "What was that? Is somebody there?" and #6 witch)? Sure! If you post it on social media, you can use both prompt tags to help us identify it as such.

There are two prompts per day. Do I have to do both? You can use the sentence prompts, the words prompt, or do a mix of them!

Can I use this prompt list with other prompt lists/bingo cards? Absolutely! Combine it with any other event you'd like to use it with.

Are there any limits to how many prompts I can use/have to use? Nope! Participate with one piece or 31 pieces! Do as much as you'd like--we'll love to see it!

Any other questions? Send an ask to @a-strange-server and we'll get back to you soon. We can't wait to start seeing what you come up with come October!

Round 8 (THE FINAL) Is over!

- “most” can mean whatever you choose I trust you. Can be the best episode. The worst. Objectively mediocre episode but an iconic moment in pop culture. Just a really solid use of television as a medium. I go into a bit more detail here.

- I only ask that you try to put aside the rest of the show and focus on the episode itself.

- the question is “most” instead of “best” bc I’m more comfortable with “most” winning by popularity contest. Also I believe that bad episodes deserve a shot.

- In the event of an exact tie both episodes will move on individually‚ with the next round’s vote having 3 (or 4??) options

here is the list of all episodes that were in the bracket, in alphabetical order by show title

ALSO: I won’t reblog propaganda in order to avoid crowding the blog (258 polls!), but you can submit propaganda here! Please focus on campaigning FOR the episode rather than against its opponent because this will be used in future polls as well. And lmk if you want to be anonymous

schedule under the cut, as well as links to polls

Round 1 Begins on Aug 15 (8 Groups‚ 128 polls)

- Group 1

- Group 2

- Group 3

- Group 4

- Group 5

- Group 6

- Group 7

- Group 8

Round 2 Begins on Sep 7 (4 Groups, 64 polls)

- Group 1

- Group 2

- Group 3

- Group 4

Round 3 Begins on Sep 20 (2 Groups‚ 32 polls)

- Group 1

- Group 2

Round 4 Begins on Oct 1 (16 polls)

Round 5 Begins on Oct 8 (8 polls)

Round 6 Begins on Oct 15 (4 polls)

Round 7 Begins on Oct 22 (2 polls)

Round 8 Begins on Oct 29 (1 poll)

- will include three 2nd and 3rd place polls

Winner announced on November 5th bc I think it would be funny.

Poll posts will include: a thumbnail (grabbed from the first few results on google) (but feel free to send me any better thumbnails)

Alt text for the thumbnails (I did my best here but I also did 32 of these in a row. So. They may not be perfect. If you notice any glaring mistakes lmk)

cws and technical notes that I received in submissions

summaries from IMDb, or wikis if there were none on IMDb (this is not meant to be propaganda‚ just to help jog your memory)

propaganda that I received in submissions (or was sent in a submission during the tournament‚ which I invite you to do here!) I am not reblogging propaganda because I don’t want to crowd the blog.

Link to‚ in order of preference: wikipedia page‚ wiki page‚ IMDb page.

Fortune Lenormand oracle/art deck - new edition + limited time free readings!

I'm excited to announce my Fortune Lenormand oracle/art deck is available again in a new edition (the biggest change: it now has a custom box!) yay!!

To celebrate, I thought it'd be fun to offer some free readings, the kind I used to do back when I was tabling at events! I personally find the 36-card Lenormand system accessible and enjoyable for both personal and creative prompt-type purposes. These readings will use the 2-card spread, which is easy to do!

How this works

To submit a request for a free reading, send it through my ask box between now (Fri Oct 27) and Sun October 29, 2023 midnight EST.

Optional: Along with your request, include your question and two numbers of your choice from 1-36.

I'll do as many readings as I can before the end of October. 

One question per person please!

I am not taking anonymous requests and these readings will be posted publicly. So don't share anything you're not comfortable with strangers on the Internet seeing!

I reserve the right to turn down a reading for any reason (the most likely reasons are if a question is rude/tasteless/inappropriate etc. or if I get too busy and can't do all the requests I get).

Asking your question

Your question must be an open-ended one, and not a question that can be answered with "yes" or "no".

Ironically, even though this deck is called "Fortune", I use them as tools for self-reflection and creative stuff, not fortune telling. It is an opportunity to open a dialogue with your self/subconscious!

For example, instead of "Should I [go to this event, do this thing, ___" or "Am I/Is someone/something else going to ___, try something like "What should I consider if I were to ___?" "Why do I want ___?" "What am I afraid of/hopeful for with regards to ___?" "How might I approach ___?" and so on.

You can learn more about this philosophy, and also get ideas for phrasing your question, on my site - check out the section that starts with "Framing your question" and up to/including "Reading Examples".

Also, you can have fun! Ask a question for your OC or a character you're writing! Ask questions for creative prompts! "I'm stuck in a fanfic I'm writing about X, Y and Z doing [whatever they're doing] and need an idea!" "I'm designing a new character, what could I incorporate into their personality or backstory?" "I want to draw a picture of my OTP and would like a prompt for inspiration!" and so on.

Decide what your question is before you make your request and don't forget what it is!

Seems obvious, but I'm reiterating this because you don't have to tell me your question when you make your request.

If you do tell me your question, it may help me give you more specific suggestions for how you can interpret the cards. If you're asking a creative prompt question, having details means I can suggest more relevant ideas for you to use as jumping off points.

If you don't tell me your question, please write it down somewhere or do something so that you don't forget it by the time I get around to your reading.

Obviously this is an honour system thing, but it doesn't really matter because if you sneak-change your answer, the only person it really affects (and potentially confuses) is yourself, haha.

If you wish to reveal what your question was afterwards, feel free to do so on the reading post!

The Villainous Timeline (Part 1): Flug & Miss Heed

Made this theory to calculate, breakdown and understand the Villainous Timeline. (I will be making 2 or 3 parts as ran out of space for photos.😅)

Part 2: Demencia and 5.0.5.

Part 3: SunBlast and Miss Heed

Alan mentioned on Instagram that:

"The Villainous timeline so far followed real life (as shown on Miss Heed and Penumbra's Instagram) but when the show airs, it’ll slow down and follow its own timeline as they wait for more episodes to release, but it’ll be similar to ours. As we know, all actual real events happened in Villainous and BH even had some influence over them, so I’m sure they’ll still follow ours but at a different pace."

So 3 points to note:

The Villainous Timeline Follows our Time line but at a different pace.

The timeline slows down when the show airs.

BH has some influence over real events happening.

This is confirmed here as when the show airs in 2021, in Episode 4, the date here (in red) is shown as 14 Jul 2021.

So Given the Ages and Timeline:

Flug is 26 yrs old in Aug 2019

So in Aug 2022 Flug is 29 yrs old. (until Aug 2023, when he becomes 30 yrs old)

Flug's Journal and Demecia's Diary came out on 21st Feb 2022

Flug said in his book “I have been working as the chief scientist of the Black Hat Organization for approximately 8-10 years.” [Google Translate]

Flug's P.E.A.C.E. files mentioned he has been working in Black Hat Organization since March 10, 2011.

21st Feb 2022 - 10 Mar 2011 = 10 years 11 months, 11 days.

So, Flug has been working in BlackHat Org years for 10 years (11 months, 11 days) - (Note: round up to 11 yrs for easier calculation)

29 yrs old - 11 years = 18 yrs old.

Based on the year in the photo of Flug’s Thesis in Episode 6, we can conclude that Flug's thesis started out and was finished on the Year 2005. If it was longer there would be a time range. (e.g. 2005 - 2006)

2022 - 2005 = 17 years

29 yrs - 17 years = 12 yrs old

If they follow Mexico School System, Black Hat Institution should either start in early July or late Aug.

So Flug started going to school either in Jul/Aug 2005

So Flug was 12 years old when he met Miss Heed and started going to Black Hat Institution. (So they started at middle school age)

This was probably the class photo taken on the 1st day of school.

It's shown he was celebrating Halloween so this picture should take place on the 31st Oct, so they've known each other around 2-3 months at this time.

According to this article, It takes around 2-6 months to write a thesis

So maybe Flug has to submit his thesis at the end of the year in Dec 2005 before Christmas, as there were no Christmas decorations (I think even if BlackHat hates Christmas, the Villains would probably celebrate Christmas in their own evil way)

So Miss Heed probably stole Flug's thesis in Nov-Dec 2005 and left to become a hero at the age of 12 yrs old.

So, Flug and Miss Heed knew each other for about 4-5 months.

According to Miss Heed's P.E.A.C.E. Files, she was 17 yrs old while the experiments were being conducted.

17 yrs old - 12 yrs old = 5 years.

So does that mean that Miss Heed was experimented on at P.E.A.C.E. when she was 12 years old, for 5 years before she got her powers at the age of 17 yrs old? (Unless something happened between the 5 yr gap.)

Also, According to her P.E.A.C.E. Files, she needed to train her powers, which might take a few months or immediately.

So this picture with Flug staring at the TV looking at Miss Heed, might be when he is 17 - 18 yrs old before he joined Black Hat Organization.

Conclusion:

-> Flug has been working in BHO for 10 yrs 11 months, 11 days, since he was 18 yrs old.

-> Flug and Miss Heed were 12 yrs old when they met each other for about 4-5 months.

-> Afterwards, in the same year Miss Heed left to become a hero and might have been experimented on for 5 years before she developed her powers at the age of 17 years old.

To help with literacy, Beastie's school is doing a reading challenge where students submit what they read and how long they read for in a month, and the class with the best numbers will get a prize. I intensely dislike gamifying reading, but let it go.

Beastie was informed though, that it had to be a variety and if it was only manga or comic books it might not all count.

This pisses me off. So we ditched the cutesy lil fill in sheet he was given and did a spreadsheet for Oct 1st-29th. He felt if we were handing it in tomorrow morning, it was unethical to include the 30th and 31st since he hadn't read on those days yet.

They might not count it all, but they fucking better acknowledge that beastie read 12k pages and almost 40 hours in those 29 days.

You want to kill a love of reading, putting bullshit limiters on kids is how you do it.
