so tempted to do a bunch of fics for flufftober using these prompts 🧍‍♀️

🍂 🍃 Hello and welcome to our fourth annual Flufftober 🍂 🍃

We’re so excited to be back and have you here once again!

As always, let’s fill the month of October with as much fluff as possible 🥰 for that to happen, you can either use our 31 regular prompts or enjoy a little challenge 😏

Below the cut, you'll find all our rules, posting info, and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us an ask.

And now, for the challenge...

Prompt Extras

We love to see how many of you get inspired by our prompts every year - be it by the original list or the Prompt Extras. Once again we're offering you that option and you're more than welcome to replace prompts from the original list if they don't work for you for whatever reason - no explanation needed.

As has become tradition, we offer you last year's top five fan favorites (as voted in the end survey). In addition to that, we also offer a little challenge: five angsty prompts for you to turn fluffy!

If you don't want to replace any prompt from the original list but still love the additional ones - or you simply want to challenge yourself even further - you can also mix them all together!

So in whichever way you use these Prompt Extras, have fun with them and go wild 💚

We hope you like these prompts, and now

Happy Creating 🥳

Standard Blog Rules & FAQ

(Due to previous asks, we made sure to add more points to this section - while they're not new rules, they're newer to this list, so you'll find them colored green)

No inc*st or p*dophilia - we can’t keep you from writing it or creating art for it but it won’t be reblogged. No inc*st: This rule does not apply to distant cousins and such, as you might find in the LotR fandom (or basically in all of European Monarchy). The line we draw is at direct blood relations (siblings, parents, kids) and/or legal guardianship. No p*dophilia: This rule does not rule out fandoms that feature teenagers such as Harry Potter, Heartstoppers, Hunger Games, etc. It also doesn't mean you can't write about their time together as teenagers! It's aimed at ships in which one is a minor and the other is not - but since even that has grey areas, the rule is this: if you keep it SFW, all is good and allowed, we don't care; if it turns NSFW, be mindful of the legalities of the world/society/times your characters live in.

No hate or ship bashing - we’re all different and we all love different things. As long as it doesn’t go against rule #1, it’s allowed.

Tag correctly! Trigger warnings (including cheating!), ships, ratings, (pure) smut, etc - it’s all fine as long as you tag it.

There’s absolutely no word count restriction, write as little or as much as you like.

In regards to art, anything goes: drawings, paintings, collages, mood boards, gif sets, videos, playlists… the sky’s the limit (though not really…). If you would like to create a podfic, the fic you're using does not have to be new - your creation will be new!

You can mix and mash different mediums however you like, be it within one prompt or on different days.

While we can’t force you to write fluff or create fluffy art, please try to keep in mind that this is a fluff event 😉 that, of course, doesn't mean you can't combine it with angsty/whumpy prompts - hurt/comfort is absolutely welcome!

You can start creating as soon as you see this - but please refrain from posting before the respective day.

If you post early, we will schedule your post for the correct day; if you use multiple prompts in one creation, we will post on the earliest day you used.

You can participate on as many days as you like, even if it’s just one; you can also create multiple entries for the same day.

You can replace as many original prompts as you like with our prompt extras; you can also combine them with the original prompts or create for them in addition, that's completely up to you.

It’s okay to write one story/a series for all the prompts.

You do not have to stick to one character, ship, or even one fandom - switch as often as you like to or even write for multiple ships for one day.

The ship does not have to be a romantic one! Friendship and family feels are more than welcome (but this is not a way to get around rule #1!)

Original works as well as OCs in fandoms are welcome! But please make sure to mark these clearly, either in the tags or the post itself. We're not familiar with all fandoms (though we're definitely learning a lot!), so we're not always sure what might be an OC and what might be such an unknown side character not even Google can find them...

Reader insert fics (for example "character x reader") as well as RPFs are absolutely allowed.

Other languages are also welcome - just make sure to clearly mark the day and fandom so that we can still easily reblog.

This event can be combined with other events as long as the other event allows it.

Late entries are always welcome, even if it is months or years later.

All fandoms and ships are welcome - fanon and canon - as long as they’re of age (in case you want to add smut) and not related.

Posting

Posting to tumblr

Please use the tag #flufftober2024 Please make sure there is NO SPACE between flufftober and 2024! We will NOT be checking the other tag this year!

Since tags are sometimes wonky, make sure to also mention us with @flufftober in your post

We will try to catch them all, but please don't be mad if we miss a post or if it gets reblogged a bit late

If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, feel free to send an ask with the link to your post

To make reblogging easier for us, make sure to add the following tags: #flufftober2024 #day [xy] #[fandom] #[ship and/or main character(s)]

If you're using a prompt extra tag it as #alt [number]

Posting to ao3

You can add your creation to the collection Flufftober 2024 (either as flufftober2024 or as flufftober_2024)

Late entries are always welcome, on tumblr as well as the ao3 collection! Neither will close - but like always, reblogs will become less regular the more months have passed...

BOWUIGI IS IN TUMBLR'S 2023 TOP 100 SHIPS!!

[maplesaimlessdrifting]

Hey is Bowuigi your favorite ship or is their another?

i like a whole lot of ships but my current one is probably bowuigi, i wouldn’t say i have a favorite though just a current one you know?

[maplesaimlessdrifting]

sent this to my friend who’s obsessed with our flag means death but doesn’t rlly like bowuigi anddddd

giggling

I started watching Our Flag Means Death and I've just finished episode three but... the whole character trope between Stede and Blackbeard... isn't that just Bowuigi? Scary strong guy with a crew of baddies and a frightful man with family trauma. That's Bowuigi. That's Bowuigi meets Ineffable Husbands.

[maplesaimlessdrifting]

new fic idea??

so starting off, this was inspired by the fic Ice Prince by ShiTiger on AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/48284554, this is simply stated a longer and more drawn out (?) version of their fic, so go check it out!

The Mario brothers are being dropped into the new world, but rather than Luigi falling into the Darklands, he falls in the Snow Kingdom. He immediately wins over the hearts of the entire royal family and gains the favor of the Penguin King. This earns him the title of an honorary prince of ice.

Bowser eventually crashes into the Snow Kingdom (as he does) and demands they hand over their Superstar. Luigi walks out wrapped in heavy wool coats that conceal his face and thick winter boots that appear handmade. He stands out against Bowser with a shaky voice and stands strong against the tyrant king.

Bowser proposes a deal, if they hand over Luigi, he'll leave them alone. While the penguins are rather reluctant, Luigi agrees almost immediately for the safety of his new friends and their kingdom.

Bowser is rather smug when whisking Luigi away, taking him to the Darklands' castle and quickly having Luigi marry him to seal the deal. Luigi now has to navigate this new relationship and home to terms that he has gone from a plumber to an honorary ice prince to queen of a lava-filled kingdom, and a mother of 8???

I might write this but I'm not quite sure, you're free to use this idea as long as you go ahead and let my know in the comments or pms! (maybe link the fic too?? lol) Maybe for good measure ask shitiger too? their @ is just shitiger here on tumblr
