Please don't ignore me

Hello, I'm Lina from Gaza🇵🇸🍉. I'm part of a family of 8. I'm married with two young children. We've been bombed, besieged, and starved. Sadly, I've lost many of my family members❗ and I can't afford to lose any more. With a heavy heart, I'm asking you to help me spread my campaign. Please, what I'm asking is too much. Can you write a post about my story and share it with your friends? I desperately need your support. My father and brother were injured in the bombing and are in critical condition. They need to travel for treatment. I need your support. The genocide is still going on

You are my only hope for survival.

I know this isn’t my normal content and I always am a bit timid when it comes to asks, but no one deserves this. All the people who have been affected by this war are in my prayers, and I hope with all my heart you find peace and joy even in such dark times. That sounds hypocritical coming from some guy from America who never experienced what you are going through, but I genuinely mean what I say.

My friends like Jonathan a BIT too much

What is that??? Another art challenge thing that is vaguely batman themed????

Let me give you guys some background information before I really get into it. Me and my friends who also love DC have done this for a few years now. It’s basically the normal “do an art thing for this prompt for this day” but, ya know, Batman themed and a bit more complex. It’s been fun, some of them do it using traditional art, some digitally, some use it as writing prompts, and so on and so forth. But due to bucket loads of conflicts, a lot of us can’t participate (literally just me and 2 others who can😭) and we don’t want this to die out so a few chats and a cartoony montage of me building this design like it’s a house later, and here we are!

About Batober

You know how these work. Every day in October, you will be given a prompt. You will then create something that you associate with or just straight up is said prompt. All the prompts are randomized every year except the 31st (which will always be Scarecrow). You can use whatever media you like (e.g., writing, visual art, edits, etc) and you really don’t have to wait for specific days or anything to start creating.

But with Batober, we’ve changed some things up to make it a bit more fun and challenging. Personally, I find a lot of these 30/31 day prompt challenges a bit too open ended, so we added a new system with it.

Every day, with the main prompt, there will be three other prompts for that day as well that goes along with the main prompt like accessories. You can pick 1-2 of these additional prompts, but you can’t use all 3. And if you don’t want to use any of the additional prompts and just use the main prompt, that’s totally fine. I’ll post a little card every day to reveal the additional prompts you can pick from:

Of course, it’ll actually have the additional prompts but this is what it’ll basically look like.

Now to clear some things up.

We chose and stuck with “situation,” “relationship,” and “status” because those three are really broad but at the same time can give you more direction. We had tried some other types of prompts in the past but these just kinda stuck.

Situation is just an event they may be participating in or observing or something in between. I like to keep the situations only a few sentences and something that would happen any day in Gotham. 

Relationships aren’t just “platonic” or “romantic,” I like to get really specific with it so you can really get to thinking who that person or thing could be. And hey, if it’s not a character that is the main prompt, it just makes it more interesting!

Status is really broad and basically is anything that happens mentally and sometimes physically (like sometimes I use “injured” or “dead” for status). This can be emotions, mental states, addictions, etc. I don’t really define status as anything, it’s just to add another level of flavor to the mix.

If you have any questions about the rules, I’m not very comfortable with DMs but my ask box is open!

How to Participate

This is my first time hosting one of these so I’m just doing what I see a lot of others do. Just use #batober2024 and make sure to add what day your artwork is for. If you’d like to @ me, go for it! I’d love to see what you guys will do with this! You can also participate on Instagram! Again, use the tag #batober2024 and you can @ me if you like. I rarely use instagram but I’ll post the prompts there as well.

(My insta is @hey_there_it_mehahahehe)

Also please use trigger warnings, we don’t have many rules about how you should use these prompts but please please please use proper trigger warnings!! I don’t really expect for this to become really big because it is our first year sharing it, but if you do participate I’ll try to reblog as many as I can! This list has helped a lot of us out of a lot of art/writers blocks for the past few years, so we hope this will help you guys out too <3

Additional Note!!!

We may make some more of these but for different months (just for the funsies), but that is a HUGE maybe. It’s really up for debate if we keep Batober public but keep some of our other hyperfixation prompts for ourselves, but keep an eye out incase we change our minds! Oh and also I used “The Long Halloween” for the logo because I thought I was being clever cuz hehehoho long Halloween = October = batober hehehahaha I’m so creative (lie). You can use whatever version of these guys you like, from official storylines to fan works or even your own version of them.

I wanna consume his design

I literally go feral for this guy I’m literally gonna throw my chair and eat my drawing tablet and kick and scream-

So this is Tom Cat, he is apart of my “Alice or Wonderland” series. Nicknamed as “The Cheshire Cat” I wanted to draw him all spooky and stuff because he’s cool like that but I’ll get to drawing a full body version cuz his design is SO YUMMY!!!!!!!

I’ll be adding more of his lore on UnVale:

Guys I’m giving in, cringe culture is dead and I’m about to make some wild decisions

Like, write fanfiction and stuff

[hey-there-it-me]

You know it’s bad when you have a million projects you need to finish and your notes app is filled with reminders yet you ask yourself “if I were to post fanfiction should I make a different blog or fuck around and find out?” while watching another playthrough of the Arkham games

[hey-there-it-me]

Last night I was trying to text something to my friend and started to cry because I couldn’t spell it “correctly” and I finally manage to type it out on notes app while being half awake at 5 in the morning then I passed out and only now do I open my notes app to find this

[hey-there-it-me]

I kinda talked about my OC Lawrence before but I decided to just do a bunch of challenges with him as my subject because I love him <3

Lawrence smiles through a lot of his emotions because he doesn’t know how to handle being human in general, so I decided to make these reflect how he interprets the world with his feelings. He either sees himself as black and white when it comes to emotions he doesn’t like, he becomes eyestrainingly colorful when it comes to a feeling he enjoys; basically how he views a feeling determines how he views himself in the moment.

I’ll add 4 more every day but if you want to learn more about Lawrence, I have an UnVale thingy for him!!! (It’s not finished though 😔)

Not sponsored or anything but if you don’t know what UnVale is, it’s literally the perfect place to put your OCs and worlds in. I’ve legit tried TONS of websites to write my OCs but it’s always too complicated or you have to pay extra to do certain things, but UnVale lets you do everything and it’s anti-AI and anti-NFTs and it just got a lot of cool things you should check out!!!!!!! From story writer to yall, it’s just amazing in general

I did this with some of my friends, still don’t understand why one of them said Kurt Hummel from Glee

Daily morning routine

Harvey is so “bless this mess” southern mom coded but in a way that’s hard to explain. Like he’s the type of man who listens to Dolly Parton while making his coffee, basically a zombie for most of the morning because caffeine is the only thing that even keeps him alive. He walks outside of his room in the lounge and hear Oswald scream and he just stops and sighs and stands there for a good 15 minutes before continuing on his way.

He’s just a single mom who works two jobs who love his kids and never stops (his kids are the other rouges by this point). But I mean somebody’s got to work 9(pm) to 5(am), what a way to make a livin' 😔

Anyways brb I gotta marry Two Face real quick-
