Hey guys! We are excited to announce the details for KakaIru Valentine’s Week 2025: 5th Anniversary!

This is an open event run from 8th February to 14th February, dedicated to the love of our favourite ship!

We accept all kinds of content, including fics, art, music, moodboards, and any other creation you can think of, as long as it is KakaIru!

Prompts:

Day 1 (8th Feb): Childhood Friends/ Crushes

Day 2 (9th Feb): Mutual Pining/ Secret Admirer

Day 3 (10th Feb): Idiots in Love/ Fake Relationship

Day 4 (11th Feb): Single Parents/ Found Family

Day 5 (12th Feb): Friends to Lovers/ Arranged Marriage

Day 6 (13th Feb): Love At First Sight/ Soulmates

Day 7 (14th Feb): Confessions/ Valentine’s Day

Rules & Guidelines:

All content must be newly created for this event – old/ recycled work will not be allowed.

This is a KakaIru event, so all works must be endgame KakaIru.

Triggering, sensitive & NSFW content must be tagged appropriately.

You don’t have to create something for every day, but we most certainly encourage it; and you’re quite welcome to create multiple things for a single prompt!

For each day, you can create for only one prompt, do both prompts, or even combine them!

There are no minimum requirements for creations - all effort counts!

Creations will be accepted in any language!

We would prefer it if you posted on the correct day, but late entries will be accepted until 28th Feb!

Where to post:

Add your work on the forum! Most work will be able to go in our Fanworks category, but please take a look at our posting guidelines to see if it will need to go to the Lemon Bar, instead.

We have an AO3 collection you can post to; and we would like you to use the tag KakaIru Valentine’s Week 2025.

Tag us here on Tumblr with the prompt your work is for. Please consider using the tags kakairu valentine’s week 2025, and kakairu.rocks

All tagged work will be shared by us, and a masterpost will be created at the end of the event!

As it is our 5th anniversary of the event, we have a little surprise coming up, too; so keep your eyes peeled for the reveal!

If you have any questions about Valentine’s Week, please don't hesitate to ask!

Happy creating!

the witcher worldbuilding is so funny because sapkowski never really specifies anything so there isn't even an actual map of the universe but it still feels like one the most detailed worlds when you read because he just loves being a nerd about how river pontar flows and its political implications or making up books for epigraphs

"Singing" (from 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals')

Originally for day 18 of @ailesswhumptober for the prompts "mind control" and "possession"

I can’t believe the 2005 pride & prejudice completely understood that the ONLY correct characterization for Darcy was having him look mortifyingly uncomfortable in literally every situation he’s placed in. his body language is just. horrifying. this man wants to crawl into a hole. not to mention he’s like 6 and a half feet tall which is just. he’s so uncomfortably Large that you can’t ignore him even though he Desperately Wants You To Ignore Him. thank GOD they didn’t try any of that Dashing Gentleman bullshit. awkward nerd is the only correct Darcy.

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!
