Hey. I know a lot of you are probably scared about these election results. I get it. I'm scared, too.

But I'm going to keep living. I hope all of you keep living with me.

I have a motto: if someone wants me dead, they're gonna have to kill me themself. That goes whether it's an asshole on the internet, an organization of bigots, or the head of a government. When others want you dead, every breath you take is an act of resistance. When others want you miserable, every smile you make is an act of resistance.

I'm going to keep living. I'm going to continue to be here, answering questions, offering support, and finding humor in the world until the day my body gives out. No matter how hard they try, they cannot take who we are away from us. We will always be here, no matter the blows we take on our journey to a better world.

All of you have worth. All of you are amazing, wonderful beings, and I'm so glad to have you all here with me. Please continue to live with me.

Take a deep breath.

We'll keep living.

[Please. I've been trying to avoid stuff like this here, but seriously. Sign this! This could make a major difference for so many people.]

RECOUNT AND REVOTE!

For those in the US, there is a petition demanding a recount and revote as well as an investigation about the sudden change in support. Your voice matters and I encourage you to sign!

[fatphobiabusters]

As long as you breath you can survive. I don't know what the future holds but this isn't the end. You have value, are worth equal rights and the world deserves better than this. I'm mad as hell, and if you feel despair that's okay too. Feel your feelings, cry your tears. But this isn't the end of our fights- whatever they look like.

Do some Self-Care today if you need. Watch a comfort movie. When you're ready there's always the rest of today, always tomorrow. So let's see the next dawn and the next together. I pray that 'hope' and 'anger' become twin flames in your soul that can sustain you through this.

Word Count: 35k

Posting Date: Tuesday, October 1st

Summary:  The reigning council of Regines hires a disreputable mercenary fighter to protect their prince from a demon’s curse. It goes well for all of two days.

Stupid spindles. Stupid princes who argue curse semantics. Now Wade’s got to go rescue his brat of a charge from the tower guarded by a seemingly invincible spider demon. It’d help if he could figure out why the demon’s acting so strange, but the council is too busy breathing down his neck to listen and Spidey is so gods-be-damned cryptic.

Word Count: 40k

Summary: Peter is an omega who only wants to read his science journals in peace, but his orphaned status means he must marry. He could marry Baron Osborn’s son, Harry, but Peter isn’t interested. Enter Duke Wade Wilson, werewolf recluse, returning to the ton for the first time in a decade. The rumors color him as a brutal murderer, but Peter only sees a handsome, kind, funny alpha who looks at him like the stars are hung in his eyes. Can the two of them survive the season long enough to find their happily ever after, or will the pressures of societal expectations and the threat of ruin tear them apart before they’ve begun?

Summary: Peter’s first day teaching at Brooklyn Visions Academy couldn’t go any worse than a Sandman attack… or could it?

A tacky choker collar trend goes viral, but it’s not as innocent as it first seems. More and more students are pulled into its clutches, until even the Ultimate Spider-Man, Miles Morales, is part of the Horde.

Trying to survive the Not-Zombie Zombie Apocalypse isn’t all bad, though. Especially when he finds a certain survivor, the hot P.E. Teacher

Summary: Peter Parker is in love with Wade Wilson. In any other universe, Wade Wilson would be ecstatic. But this is not one of those universes. In this universe, Wade is aromantic and despite a passionate night they had years ago, Wade is just not romantically interested in Peter. It’s not like he doesn’t love the guy. But it’s complicated. They, of course, have never had proper communication. Ellie thinks they are big ol idiots that need to talk like adults. She would be right.

A simple bonfire to signal the end of summer and bring on what will come next. But there’s something lurking in the shadows that the camp leader failed to mention. And it may make or break them.

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Posting Date: October 26 

Summary: Wade Wilson is aware of who and what he is. Thank you very much. 

He knows he is issues upon issues all wrapped up in the nastiest package anyone has ever seen, he’s a violent, suicidal mess, he’s unlovable and destroys everything and everyone he touches. He knows he used up all of his good luck when Spider-Man allowed him to follow along for his patrols and dried up the well when Peter became his friend.

So, forgive him if he’s a little shocked when Peter asks him out on a date, a real, totally serious, no joking, romantic date. He’s a lot more shocked when the hero actually wants a romantic relationship with the mercenary.

It seems that Peter Parker is determined to prove Wade wrong on everything he believes about himself. Fuck.

Word Count: 74,706

Posting Date: October 28

Summary: Since Peter and Wade made the decision to give their relationship another chance, everything is going well for them. Love is in the air, and they are both really excited to make their feelings official, even if they still need to work through some issues to maintain their relationship. They rent a new house since they are ready to live together.

But there are secrets that each of them must confess to one another.

Still terrified that Peter may reject him, Wade faces the dilemma of showing his face despite his promise to Spidey to finally reveal his appearance.

Peter, on the other hand, is discovering he’s into BDSM stuff, so he tries to find ways to tell his boyfriend. But he does… in an expected way.

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 25,095

Posting Date: October 29

Summary: Wade doesn’t want to mate – he has a mansion full of omegas to take care of already. But because of his ruts and social pressure he goes to an Omega Orphanage to buy an expensive good-behaved spouse mate for life.

Instead he looks at this cheap one, glaring at him, smelling of fury and disdain, that is clearly rebellious: Peter Parker doesn’t know how to cook, has a bad temper, is too smart for an omega, and hates Wade’s guts – but beside all that, he’s still the Alpha choice.

To our animatronic-loving friends:

We know how scary and intense life is. Things are changing in big, dangerous ways.

In times like this, we just want to remind you: You are important, you are loved, and you will be okay. Keep going. Keep thriving. Make art, be happy, express yourself, indulge in your interests. Help out as much as you can. Spread compassion and warmth in the darkness. Keep fighting for who you are and who you love.

What matters most in times like these is caring for one another and staying strong. Do your best for yourself and your loved ones. Be kind to yourselves and each other. Always have hope.

Together, we can prosper even in the darkest of times.

I'm sorry, but speaking as a transmasc lesbian, I find this blog really weird and gross. The whole concept of the blog is largely perpetuating egg culture in a way that's really distressing. Have you considered that some men are just feminine?

I'm concerned that a lot of you still view trans women as intrinsically predatory.

[pastel-medic]

Please stay safe out there and know you are loved. It will be difficult for a while but we will get through this. Remember you are loved and that your life is important no matter what. 💖

[beatleskinkmeme]

All messages have been sent out! Please make sure you respond in a timely manner so we can be sure you got it. And please review information in this post!

You must have a tumblr to sign up as that will be how your assignment will be shared. Messaging and anon should be turned on to receive your info and so your gift creator can contact you! 

You don’t need to have an ao3 account but we added a question regarding this because some people have different tumblr names from ao3

You can also share your discord name especially if you're in the discord server and/or if you'd like to provide another way of contact for us

Be sure to mark all the types of gifts you would be open to receiving! 

All fanfics should have a minimum of 500 words and all gifts should be completed. No WIPs.

This is being sponsored by the good ol’ kink meme after all, so NSFW is allowed, but only if your recipient says they would like that in their gift. 

All requests do not have to be included in the gift, but just can be used as general guidelines. If you need more info from your giftee then feel free to send them an anon ask or send a message to this blog and we can reach out to your giftee to get the information!

[demon-appreciation]

Hey folks! I dont post on my art blog anymore, and I have a bigger audience here now. Would you guys be opposed to me posting my own demons on this blog too? (If I even get around to it, I never finish art anymore...I just sketch lol)

Our Schedule Has Changed!

We hope you're all doing okay during what is shaping up to be a pretty rough week for folks all over.

In light of the ongoing horrors affecting so many of our participants, we've decided to make some adjustments to the challenge schedule just to give everyone a little extra time. Creating in fandom is such an important source of joy and community, and we want to make sure that everyone can still take part.

We figure that for every writer or artist who has the ability to harness their grief and anger and fear as fuel to create, there are just as many who need to step away for a little while to recalibrate, or who need more time to engage with their local communities, so hopefully a couple of extra weeks will help give you all some breathing room.

Rough drafts are now due on December 15th instead of December 1st, and other dates have been adjusted accordingly.

You can view the full schedule here on Tumblr, and we also sent it out to all registered participants via email.

If you're struggling with any aspect of this challenge, be it a deadline or something else, please reach out to us via email or on Discord so we can try to find a solution. We never want anyone burning themselves out when we could have made an adjustment that would help them.

Take care of yourselves, & we'll be in touch again in early December!

[problematic-yuri-poll]

for another bonus tournament after the best problematic femslash ship one we've been considering a tournament on the MOST problematic CHARACTER from a yuri. a place for the terrible women to shine through...

[dailydracart]

Well folks, we made it.

Dracula Daily 2024 is over. Thank you to everyone who has been tagging me in posts since yesterday! I will be taking a bit of a break, maybe till Sunday, and then I'll have a look through, so there will be some more art coming in!

And now... what's the future of this blog, you might be asking? Well, I figure it'll get much more quiet since Dracula will be in the off-season. But I will check the tag periodically, and I'll probably be back for next year, if DD2025 is a thing. And either way, this blog will hopefully remain as a pretty comprehensive picture-book-slash-archive for anyone who wants to have a look through.

[todaysbat]

I definitely will be posting most bats requests tomorrow after I get home from work (and even more on thursday).

Eventually I will be putting them straight into the daily queue.

Keep sending the requests, though. They will all get posted eventually.
