First bingo entry for Pride Month Bingo by @queenofbaws, @unicornaffair, and @jadedsunshine.

Prompt: Fake Dating Fandom: Power Rangers (2017) Pairing: Trimberly Title: ** all we have to do is start **

Trini Gomez has the most annoying and obnoxious college roommate in Kimberly Hart. It's only been six months, but Trini is over it. So what happens when Kim comes to her with a plan that requires them to pretend to be girlfriends for a free Valentine's Day meal? Can Trini say no to Kim? Does she want to?

Here's wondering if I'll get anymore done!

[jadedsunshine]

Let's GO Pride Month Bingo Update. Halfway through the month and we've got three down.

Long Distance: S&B Society: Love Letters (Fire Emblem) Just when life was starting to feel like it was in place for Severa and Lucina, the couple is split up into different factions for a divide and conquer strategy. Being a part, with little to no communication was tough to say the least. Lucina comes up with the idea of becoming pen pals, until they can see each other again. Severa isn't so great with the lovey dovey pour feelings out on a piece of paper....but...for Lucina she's willing to try.

Crossover: Green Eyed Monster (Power Rangers 2017/The Quarry)

When Trini was forced to go to work at Hackett's Quarry for the summer, Kimberly decided to tag along. What a perfect opportunity to get out of Angel Grove and be together. However, Mr. H ruined her romantic plans for the summer by partnering up Trini with Kaitlyn Ka. The only monster at Hackett's Quarry is of the green eyed kind. Kimberly's a bit jealous of Trini's new bestie...and for good reason.

Abi has it bad for Emma, though never thought she had much of an actual chance with her...Trini knows what it's like to have complicated feelings for the "popular girl".

Found Family: Wildcats (Power Rangers 2017, Megaforce, Samurai) Before they were Hellcats, before Kimberly Hart stumbled across Trini in a lecture hall class. Trini, lost, angry at the world and struggling with her homelife, crashes. Blood doesn’t make a family. It’s with the Wildcats, Trini finds herself two sisters who will be her ride or dies for life. (A Hellcats Prequel)

And Many More a Blygbank story by TheIcyQueen

"I mean, isn't it weird?" Abi asked. "Us dating without ever actually...y'know...going on a...date?" With the end of camp right around the corner and a lot of long-distance phone calls in their future, Abi and Emma realize they somehow managed to skip the "date" part of dating! What a nightmare! ...or it would be, at least, if not for some quick thinking, creative decorating, and, you guessed it, plenty of help from the rest of the Hacketteers. Is it a "traditional" first date? Probably not. Do their friends really need to be doing funny voices the whole time? DEFINITELY not. Is it a night they'll remember for the rest of their lives? Well, there's one way to find out!

Went with a little Trimberly for my first Pride Month Bingo square.

Welcome Home

Trini is stuck in her head about being with her best friend, but what happens when she has nowhere else to go?

The hacketters: is this a bear?

Like Wringing Blood From a Stone an Until Dawn/The Quarry crossover by TheIcyQueen

Travis shot him a look. The sort that made it hard to tell whether his backpedaling had worked, or if he’d taken personal offense. He’d learned that shit from Mom. “Funny. Didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, that’s all.” The coffee curdled in his gut, eating its way through the lining of his stomach. Despite being excruciatingly awake, the dream logic returned with a vengeance. He knew why Travis hadn’t slept last night. He’d been standing beside him at Amelia’s funeral. Here. In the lodge. Only a few steps away from where they were standing now. Being in the bedroom was too much. They were too close to that drawer, too close to her perfume. In a desperate bid to appear casual, Chris shrugged then stretched his arms wide in a yawn, turning around to guide them into his office instead. “Bad dreams?” he asked, startled at how very small his voice sounded. Travis took a couple steps after him, then stopped dead. When Chris glanced over his shoulder to see what the holdup was, the surprise on his face was obvious, dark circles or no. Somehow—inexplicably—it felt like an answer.

Bringin' back our pride month challenge!

Join @unicornaffair, @queenofbaws, and me as we hope to inspire and encourage creativity... all of pride month! 🏳️‍🌈

Anyone and everyone can join! No real rules, no parameters, just FUN!

Use #pridemonthchallenge2024 to tag your posts so we can also cheer YOU on.

! Pride Month Challenge 2024 !

Well hi there, everyone! With May winding down to a close and June just around the corner, it's about that time again...the time where @jadedsunshine, @unicornaffair, and I host our yearly create-a-thon! 🥳

What's the Pride Month Challenge, you might find yourself asking? Well, this year it's a little bingo game we've put together, featuring some classic tropes. The aim of this particular game? Make something!!! Anything! Just get those creative juices a-flowin' and see if you can snag a B-I-N-G-O along the way!

This challenge is open to everyone and anyone who wants to take part, whether you know the three of us or not! We're going to be using the tag #pridemonthchallenge2024 for the stuff we create, so if you decide to join in on the fun and games, feel free to stick that tag on whatever you make, too! If you're interested in more details, you can check below the cut or reach out and ask ;)c

Either way, happy almost-pride, and happy creating!!!

I don't write fic - can I still participate?

Ab. So. Lutely!!! We've done this challenge for a few years now (we've missed a year or two for weddings and other life stuff, whoops!), but in the past we've had people doodle, sketch, draw, make edits, create props or other physical art, and even curate playlists! The three of us are writers, so you're very likely to see fic or ficlets from us...but you? Oh. Oh, you can do whatever your heart desires!!!

Are there word limits/expectations for a finished product?

NO!!! :D Zero. Literally zero expectations. We aren't putting together an exchange, we aren't holding a competition, we're just trying to get the spirit of creation in the air. That's it! So whether you're writing 50 words or 5,000, whether you've made a rough sketch on a notebook page or fully lined/colored a scene, you're good! You're so good. As long as you've made something, you've earned a stamp on that bingo card, baby!!!

What if I don't want to do something fandom-y? Can it be OCs/original work?

OF COURSE!!! 100%. You don't even have to ask!!! Show the world your OCs! Tell the world about your story's worldbuilding! It's all fair game :)

What if I don't want to post what I made?

Don't sweat it! Again, this is...the farthest thing from official. This is for fun, and this is for the sake of making something. Sharing your work can be nerve-wracking - don't feel like you have to! We'd love to see you playing along with us, of course, but as long as you've made something that you're proud of, you've earned that stamp! No ifs, ands, or buts!

Is it cool if my creations aren't necessarily pride-themed?

Totally! We host this challenge during pride month because (1) it traditionally works better for the three of us than NaNoWriMo because of our schedules, and (2) we're queer creators ourselves! But if you're feeling a prompt and can't find a way to make it relevant to pride, PLEASE don't sweat it! As I've been known to say (and then get laughed at for saying), this challenge is no rules, just right, Outback Steakhouse :P

Let's say I get a bingo...what do I win?

:) Nothing. <3

Wait, really?

:) Really <3 Hehehe, in all seriousness, this challenge has been a fun way for us to sit down, take our minds off of life and our bigger projects and just...make some fun stuff! In our humble opinion(s), being able to point at a finished piece and say "I did that! I made that!" is its own kind of reward. The bingo board itself is really more for bragging rights ;)c Which, of course, we encourage wholeheartedly. Nothing wrong with a little bragging!!!

We hope to have you along for our month-long adventure! Again, we're going to be using the tag #pridemonthchallenge2024 for our own stuff, so if you'd like to use that tag - or tag any of us!!! - in whatever you end up creating, feel free!!! We love seeing what everyone comes up with, and this challenge is always so much more fun, knowing other people are taking part! <3 Hope to see you along for the ride!

*The bingo board was made by the lovely @jadedsunshine 🥰
