♥ Welcome to #ockiss25 ♥

Get ready to get those OCs smooching!

♥ #ockiss25 CALENDAR ♥

from FEBRUARY 10th, 2025 to FEBRUARY 16th, 2025

♥ #ockiss25 MINI FAQ ♥

What is OCkiss? It’s a week long event in which artists, writers and other creators produce content about OCs kissing.

Who can participate in OCkiss? Do you have an OC? Do you want to participate in OCkiss? Congrats, you’re in! Create something and upload it during the event with the tag #ockiss25

My OC doesn’t have a significant other, can I still participate? Of course! OCkiss is not restricted to romantic kisses - they can be friendly, they can be familiar, they can just be kissing their pet!

Can I use other people’s OCs? If they have stated that their OCs are up for grabs for this event, of course! If you’re not sure, please, please always ask the OC’s owner first.

I’m a bit lost and don’t know what to create! You can ask other people for prompts, make your own, or follow the official #ockiss25 prompt list down below!

Can I participate with OCxCanon!character content? No.

If you have more questions, please refer to the main FAQ!

Remember to tag your OCkiss creations with the #ockiss25 tag! I aim to reblog everybody who participates and I will set up a queue to that effect. Reblog culture has gone down on Tumblr, and I want to change that and promote creators to the best of my ability - it would be awesome if you joined me on this! If you don’t want your work to be reblogged here, please say so in the tags!

Juuuust in time for the holidays (because y'all have been amazing this year)... 🎁✨ ... We’re shipping a big improvement to our AO3 exporter! Since we launched the exporter back in October, we’ve been loving all the feedback you’ve sent our way. That said, we know it had a few rough edges. Now, in addition to creating new works—you can export your docs and drafts as chapters in existing works! Head over to the blog to learn more... 🦌 - The Ellipsus Team xo

(I'm never going to not be salty at tumblr for their terrible sizes/compression. Middle of the bottom row is the FULL piece, the one up main is cropped.)

New goal for this year: make stories for my drawings instead of just doing random illustrations, lol. This is completely out of time and place, though the amazing @contribute-a-verse wrote me a little piece for it that is just :chef's_kiss: amazing (maybe he'll deign to attach it here, maybe maybe?)

Mostly I wanted to do a lighting experiment that, I think, turned out pretty well overall.

Also, hey hey, not quite the middle of the month and I already have two works down. WOO!

Hey, it's still January, and I'm still on my nonsense. Once again wishing I had a proper story for this picture, but mostly I just had a vibe I wanted, and a visual perspective I wanted to play with. Can't say if i accomplished either, but I am rather proud of Lili's outfit, and Tomi's pretty face.

ngl, season 2 Falling Skies really feels like the writer's room went "Ben and Jimmy are too clearly gay for each other. Sorry, Jimbo, guess who gets to be buried?"

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post

"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior

"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares

"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.

"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all

".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

absolutely feral about the interview with Martha Wells where she quite literally said ART is the love of Murderbot’s life. agender asexual traumatized robot couple my beloved

if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

"can we normalize-" NO!!!!!! we do not need to expand whats considered normal!!! we need to teach people to stop reacting judgmentally when encountering something new and weird!!!! things dont need to be normal to be respected!!!!!!!!!!

Another highly specific resource, Travel in Times!

So how long did it take to travel somewhere in England and Wales in 1680s anyway? Or the 1830s? Or 1910s? Well, the Travel in Times project from Cambridge University is here to help.

Create a route, pick from the eras available, and see how you would get there and how long it would take.

The project currently focuses on three eras that help represent major aspects in travel systems while also giving you an idea of travel speeds during eras of horseback, stagecoach, and train.

This is an ongoing project so the hope is to expand the capabilities and add more maps and data.

(Another, similar, project is also in the works called the Early Modern Digital Itineraries project. As Nov. 22, 2024, the tool is not yet ready for the public. You can follow along with their progress on bluesky)
