What is your favorite shot from the series?
Tumblr media
I did an entire gifset on my favorite shots from each ep but this one is still special to me. And since I can't include the loml that is the entire ep8 post credit, this shot will have to do. It's just so soo softttt and combine this with the bgm of this scene and </3333
Okay no go away I'm also adding this shot cause I can and I will 🤪
Tumblr media
This was the first moment I fell in love with the show and I'll always hold it close to my heart 🥺
What is your favorite establishing shot/ credit shot/nature shot etc from the series?
Tumblr media
ughh i made this gif to include it in the gifset but i didnt like it so i ditched it. Anyway idk if this counts as an establishing shot but i just loveeee this shot so much. It's really pretty and it is the title shot or whatever they call it of the series. Also if you know me, I have an obsession with sparkles and this scene basically calls my name to add sparkles in it 🤪 jk or maybe not
What is the shot which encapsulates your favorite character the most?

And then he helped the students to chase after their dreams 🥺🥺🥺 im emo nobody touch me. Also I'll forever be saulty that they didnt show us tian's reunion with the kids in ep10 😐😐 gmm bestie why

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander
Thoughts on Ep. 512
Looking for a way to spend Mother’s Day? Well, we here at Outlander have the perfect idea! Celebrate with the women you love by watching us gang rape grannie!
This episode is like the perfect storm of everything that is wrong with Outlander. The cast and crew saying it’s their strongest episode yet when it’s basically artsy gang rape. The CYA trigger warnings when the story would have worked perfectly well without including yet another rape. The kool aid-drinking fans yelling at and acting holier than thou at the fans who rightfully call out the massive problem this show has with rape and assault. The fans yelling at other fans because It’S iN tHe BoOk so it has to be included. The fans yelling at other fans for wanting to follow the books but not wanting rape every 0.5 seconds. The fans yelling at other fans to fuck off if they don’t like the show. The women in the cast throwing out trigger warnings while the men are radio silent or wanting the gladiators to face the plague and fight for their own amusement. It literally has everything.
And I am tired.
I’ve been in this fandom for six years and have had quite a journey. From first discovering the show and immediately devouring the books. The honeymoon period where I could headcanon out all the problematic bits. The getting deep into the fandom nonsense. The getting out of the fandom nonsense. The judging the fandom nonsense because it’s funny and they’re all idiots. The getting sick of the fandom nonsense because it’s not even fun to judge the dummies anymore. The becoming more and more aware that it’s impossible to whistle past the problems in the books and the show. The sticking around, holding out hope things might turn around and the initial magic could be recaptured. And finally, the giving up.
The books are trash. The show is trash. There are a handful of good scenes in each which can be enjoyed on their own, but as a whole, holy shit this stuff is not good. (Seriously, I tried to do a Fiery Cross reread before the season started. I started like a year ago and am still only at Jocasta’s wedding because I just don’t care enough to actually get through it.)
Which brings us here. I am tired. I have already ranted and raged and yelled and swore and wrote far too many words about the gratuitous overuse of rape in the Outlanderverse. It fucking has its own tag for fuck’s sake.
So here’s a recap. And then I think I’m done looking at this show in detail. Not because the idiot fans insist on coming to my notes to tell me to fuck off if I don’t like the show. Not because the crew are condescending douchecanoes. Not because the author is a misogynist garbage heap. But because spending an hour of my time for a few weeks out of the year to write these things isn’t worth it. I did it for as long as I did because it took so little time. So why not? But yeah, it’s not even worth that tiny commitment anymore.
And to the people who I know will @ me about how no one was forcing me to stick around and I could have quit any time, yeah, no shit captain obvious, I know that. Fuck off already. I stuck around because I really liked the little corner of the fandom that I’d found. I made some awesome friends. Most of those friends have since quit the fandom. I’m really glad to have them in my life outside of this little corner of the internet. And it was a fun writing exercise. I don’t really like the show anymore, but I enjoyed building an argument about why I don’t like it and think it’s bad that has valid points behind it. Especially considering how blindly overly adoring a bunch of the fandom is about it. But now I think I’d rather consume Outlander content as pretty people in pretty period costumes in gifsets. Or like, on in the background but not really paying close attention. Why not quit altogether? Because to quote the great Ron Swanson (I’m halfway through a Parks rewatch and I just love that show a lot ok.), I can do what I want. And besides, there’s like a fucking library’s worth of fics that I haven’t read and have been meaning to. And I like the characters enough to want to keep reading about them in stories that are better than the canon. (Bless you fic writers, blesssss.)
So. Was this whole ramble self-indulgent and overly serious for a fucking TV show? Absofuckinglutely. But please see the aforementioned Swansonism.
Alright, fuckos. Let’s do this.
This is a Roberts brainchild, isn’t it. *checks credits* Yup. Knew it. This feels very much like a Roberts special. In that he is probs quite pleased with himself but like, it’s crap.
Yes, we ARE doing ANOTHER rape story! But look! It’s a disassociation montage! It’s the ‘60s, get it?! There are callbacks! An orange from the king in season 2! A vase from season 1! A rabbit from season 3! An amber-looking dragonfly! Jamie with the young hair spouting off book lines! ApPrEcIaTe MuH aRt! We are so good at finding new and creative ways to rape our characters! Fuck off, twatwaffle. You are the worst.
Like, does Roger feel left out at this point? He’s only been hanged. Literally everyone else has either been raped, been sexually assaulted, or been threatened with rape and/or sexual assault.
“But it’s not gratuitous! Look! They’re all so different! Jamie’s was overly graphic and he got a half a season to brood about! We manged to not show much of Fergus’ (but still showed a thrust) because he’s a child and it was just a plot device for Jamie and not actually about him! Mary’s was about Fred! Claire’s with the king was about Jamie! Jamie’s with Geneva was shot like p0rn! Marsali being threatened by the sailors was to motivate Fergus! Bree’s was about the other people in the room and Roger! Claire’s really has no purpose because she’s already been kidnapped and beaten, and that is super traumatic, and we’re gonna wrap it up with a bow by the end of the episode!”
This fucking show, guys. This fucking show.
Bonus points* for the Black character spouting off the superstitious stuff.
*By bonus points I mean this show, and the books are absolute shit on matters of race. The books especially.
The cast and crew have 100% heard everyone’s thoughts on the overuse of rape in the Outlanderverse. And their response has been to include more and more of it. We had a whole season of one character’s arc being about her rape and literally as soon as that was resolved, they gang rape another character. It really does tell you as much as you need to know about them. Lazy. Fucking. Cowards.
Kidnapping not enough trauma? Let’s add some gang rape! Gang rape not enough trauma? Let’s add visualizing that your daughter and grandchild are dead! Just like Fred died! This show really brings trauma p0rn to a whole new level.
Called the Bree and Roger shit.
This scene with the men rallying to go save Claire is like another layer of fuck you. Bree, you stay home, men, give your hero lines and let’s have a getting ready montage. Because your hero moment is what this is really all about. And your manpain about killing someone. *screams into a pillow*
The petty side of me is happy that it was Fergus and Young Ian who are with Claire when they find her and not Roger. Her two sons...
Why yes, I am judging all of the fans who like get their panties all wet over Jamie being like “It is I who kills for her.” Like “yeah go ahead and rape and beat Claire within an inch of her life if it means the big strong man gets to come in and save her and say something intense.” Fuck off and go take a hard look at yourself and what that says about you.
“Was there an Indian there?” “Nope, he wouldn’t help you because LiOnEl but somehow was able to peace out when it was in his interest. Because he is as bad as the ones who actually raped you.”
The Bree and Claire hug makes me both sad and angry. I want to hug them both and take them out of this fucking place and tell them that they’ve been done dirty and deserved fucking better from the writers.
Glad Marsali gets in on the hug. Claire’s two remaining daughters.
Claire’s “I have fucking survived” speech is like the one time she she actually talks about herself not in relation to a man. It’s about her. Claire. HOWEVER! It is epically fucked up that a woman needs to check off all the trauma she’s endured to show she’s a strong character.
So. Fucked. Up.
The fact that we’re spending time on Roger’s manpain about killing someone also really tells us a lot about the show’s feelings toward women. Yeah, killing someone is a big deal. It’s normal and expected to have feelings about it. But the juxtaposition of Claire’s speech about all of her traumas with Roger being like yeah, I killed a guy who had kidnapped, beaten and raped your mom is like, read the room, bro/writers.
The fact that the men put Claire’s rapist in her surgery, her space, her place of healing, where she is able to be most herself, makes me want to punch each and every one of them in the throat. Like seriously. Fuck each and every one of them.
Also Lionel is like cartoonishly terrible. Not that nuance has ever been this show’s strong suit. But like come the fuck on.
Marsali killing Lionel is the one thing about this episode that I didn’t hate. The men are all like “We kill for Claire! Let’s all rally in this montage and go do the manly thing of defending the woman!” Marsali is just like, yeah, that’s my Ma you fucked with. She shows some agency. She doesn’t do it in a performative way for the other men or for Claire like the guys do. She just knows this fuck needs to die, knows it’s gonna be hard for her and might damn her soul (don’t worry Marsali, all that religion crap is bullshit), and does it anyway.
Marsali’s arc has been my favorite of this whole fucking series. The one bright spot I was hanging on to all of this season especially.
Her quick scene with Jamie doesn’t bother me like Roger’s does. Because Roger is like oh no, I killed a guy! Can you forgive me? For killing a rapist? Like fuck off, bro. And Marsali is like yeah, I killed a guy. I hope I’m not damned for it, but the guy needed to die so I did it.
Also like, Richard had potential to not be cartoonishly bad. But like nope. “He reaped what he sowed, but cLeArLy I’m gonna need to escalate this further. Because manly men can’t let shit go.”
Fuck all men, tbh.
*googles how to emigrate to Themyscira*
Jamie’s speech that’s like supposed to parallel Claire’s can fuck all the way off. Giving him the last voice over just underscores how this was all about men. Not Claire. But the men. Fuuuuck everything.
Look! Everything’s fine again! Back to normal! Peaceful for a bit! With a cheesy af on the nose storm coming! So you know something bad’s coming! In case you forgot!
And Jamie got a book line. So it’s all good now.
And don’t worry about Claire, y’all. She feels safe now. Her and Jamie fucked it out.
It’s amazing, in retrospect, that I ever let this story suck me in so much.
Happy Mother’s Day! See you on the other side of the hiatus.

CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Alice (@souloben)
Support your local gif makers! In celebration of my one year gif-iversary, I am posting shoutouts to gif makers who have motivated and inspired me with their creativity in the past year. This post is for Alice, whose gifs can be found here.
I have loved Alice’s gifsets from the moment I first found her blog. I remember I was sitting in the back row of one of my classes and I saw her Descendants gifset, and I thought it was so beautiful that I went through her entire gif tag in one sitting. I remember telling my girlfriend that day that I aspired to have that level of control over my art, and that seeing Alice’s gifs helped me come up with new goals for myself. My favorite thing about Alice’s gifsets are the vibrant colors and use of gradients. She perfectly positions colors in relation to each other in a unique way that I haven’t seen from anyone else. Her work and skills are one of a kind!
MUST-SEE EDITS
Descendants - This was the first gifset I ever saw of Alice’s. Take a moment to admire the way the colors are organized and each row moves perfectly into the next. Appreciate the hints of pink and purple throughout the palette. My favorite gif in this set is the very first one (Uma) because Alice managed to seamlessly make the water and her tentacles completely white without losing any of their depth or complexity.
Fictional Astrology: Rapunzel - I love the level of imagination, thought, and care that goes into Alice’s fictional astrology sets. In this series, she creates astrology charts for fictional characters. In this Rapunzel set, notice the control demonstrated over the colors green and pink. The “Gemini Mercury” gif stands out in the middle due to its beautiful vivid cyan coloring.
Poe Dameron - This set that Alice made for a friend’s birthday is a perfect example of her gift for gradients. The control demonstrated over the blues, pinks, greens, and purples in this scene is amazing. The darker purples balance effortlessly with the playful greens, and the use of text as an extension of the coloring is unique and creative. The very first gif in this set shows incredible skill, as it can often be tricky to maintain special colored backgrounds in gifs with so much motion; but Poe charges through the frame with no hint of awkwardness or inconsistency in coloring, a true testament to Alice’s level of gif making experience.
The Good Place 1x01 - The mesmerizing dreamlike coloring of this set invokes a calm feeling. The yellows and purples play off of each other very well here, and exemplify Alice’s affinity to complimentary colors in gifsets. The pink and blue are sprinkled in effectively in a way that calls attention but does not distract. Note the top right gif, the pink version of the point tracking board, and appreciate the amount of work that went into transforming the initial scene into an aesthetically-pleasing monochromatic creation.
The Princess and the Frog - Alice’s command over the color yellow really shines here in this edit of an animated film. This gifset perfectly matches its vibrant colors from gif to gif, while not taking away from the skintones and other essential colors of each scene. I love the combination of shots chosen to make up this gifset. Pay special attention to the cyan gif of Dr. Facilier; it is no easy task to include a gif that involves flashing lights because they tend to draw all the attention, but Alice did an excellent job of neutralizing (but not eliminating) this flashing element and making the gif blend in with the rest of the set.
CREATOR’S TOP PICKS
Alice’s personal favorites include:
these three sets for their coloring:  1 2 3
this Molly Weasley gifset
and this Thomas Sangster set
Thank you to Alice for inspiring me over the past year! Be sure to check out all of her amazing gifsets, reblog them, and leave nice feedback!

May the 4th be with you recs!
Because fanfic is the reason I’m finally getting into Star Wars after all these years XDD
I’m gonna include the fic summaries and my takes, so plopping these under a cut for length. If you haven’t already read these, please go give them some love. And if you have, go give them some more! XD
I’m a fix-it, (at least mostly) everybody lives and (hopefully) nobody dies kinda gal, so while I certainly like something that hits in the feels, I don’t care for angst with no payoff at the end. Many of these are ongoing, but I’m confident enough in the overall feel of them to rec with that in mind. I also like long fics, so most of my recs will reflect that. 
Hunting Towards Heartstill by blackkat
Pairing: Mace Windu/ CC-2224 Cody
Status: Complete, 45 chapters
Summary: Plo has an idea. Mace agrees, and everything snowballs right into hell from there.
(Or: Mace and Cody get married in order to give the clones citizen status. Before they can focus on that, though, they're going to have to deal with ancient Sith artifacts, evil prophets, plots to overthrow the Supreme Chancellor, lost planets, monsters warped by Sith alchemy, inconvenient feelings, and Darth Sidious turning his eye on a potential new apprentice. Just...not in that order.)
Notes: Kat’s going to have her whole section recc’d in a minute, but this one is near and dear to my heart, so it get’s a special spot. This is the one that got me into the Star Wars fandom at all. And by “into the fandom” I mean I have never seen/read a single piece of Star Wars media outside of gifsets and funky graphic t-shirts in my entire life. And now here we are XDD
In short, as with anything kat writes, the characterization is top-notch, the wit even more so, and the feels will leave you broken to pieces only to bring you back together better than when you started at the end of it all. Enjoy <3
All of blackkat’s Star Wars fics, by she who never expected to be a part of this fandom so everyone thank sol for being a bastard and cher for having terrible, amazing, tempting, too-good prompts XD
Notes: As promised, I did indeed just link all of blackkats Star Wars fics XD Most are one shots, with several longer ongoing, and one very special one complete. Pairings and settings will vary, but I can promise you one thing: you can absolutely trust kat with your heart, no matter how angsty it seems (tho take those cliffie warnings seriously!). Enjoy, and may the Force be with you! <3
The Hero With a Thousand Faces by beamirang 
Pairing: Jango/Obi-Wan 
Status: Part 1 is a one-shot prologue, part 2 ongoing
Summary: “We’re going to kidnap a Jedi?” Boba sounds far more excited by the prospect than most twelve-year-olds probably should. And, because he’s Jango’s boy, because he’s too kriffing smart for his own good, he catches on way too quickly. “Wait. Are we kidnapping your Jedi?”
Notes: Fantastic characterization and writing - very witty (as one would expect with Obi and Fett XD) but also excellent on the heavier emotional aspects as well. 
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine
Pairing: None
Status: 17 parts complete, part 18 ongoing
Summary: In Tatooine legend, the sandstorm is Lukka, the Fury, both cleansing and damning. Lukka, the slaves believed, was Justice, was he who remade the world, and remade the soul.The storm screams at him, and Obi-Wan Kenobi screams back.
Notes: It’s a time travel fic! It’s one of my favourite tropes when done correctly, and this one certainly does :) Love the characters, they have so much depth and growth over the series. And while this far it is 100% a “everybody lives nobody dies” kinda story, there is no sacrifice in plot or narrative tension. Wonderful proof that there can be other narrative stakes in a story than just character death. 
Under One Flag by NeurotropicAgentX
Pairing: Padme Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Darth Maul
Status: Two single chapter parts. Marked as incomplete with no further updates since 2017, but the chapters stand alone, no cliffhangers. 
Summary: The story of how Padmé Amidala becomes the reluctant Empress of the galaxy and acquires a pair of Force-sensitive bodyguards. Deals with the light and dark side conflict, the politics of an Empire, and Dathomirian Culture.
Notes: A fun little read! The dynamics between the three were interesting, and who doesn’t love the idea of Empress Padme? :D
By A Barista by Tomatosoupful
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Anakin
Status: Complete, 7 chapters
Summary: Obi-Wan/Anakin, Modern Coffee Shop AU unapologetically set in Australia. Some Star Wars story lines and character arcs adapted into modern coffee versions.Anakin doesn't really know why Qui-Gon hired him despite having no experience in coffee making or table service, and he knows this bothers the barista, Obi-Wan, but hey, at least he gets to look at the handsome guy while he complains.
Notes: Another fun little read! I love social disaster Ani in modern settings, ngl XD 
The Snowball Effect by Ghost_Owl
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Anakin
Status: Complete, 2 chapters
Summary: Anakin had not meant to nail the cute guy from his building in the face with a snowball.Obi Wan had absolutely meant to hit him back.
Notes: Another cute read! Once again Ani is a disaster, and Obi-Wan only less so by direct comparison XD I particularly remember this story for the author coining the phrase I now recognize as my favourite paring trope - two halves of a whole idiot XDD
Reprise by Elfpen
Pairing: None
Status: 7 parts, current part ongoing
Summary: Ben Kenobi dies aboard the Death Star in the year 0 BBY. He wakes up shortly thereafter in the Jedi temple in the year 41 BBY. Haunted by memories and regret, Ben must forge a new path for himself in the Jedi Order of his youth while navigating the murky waters of time travel. Crafting a better future from bitter experience is hard, but learning to heal is even harder. Major AU.
Notes: This one I found on the heels of Desert Storm, and while they are initially cut from the same cloth, you’ll find they immediately develop their own unique flavours. If you like time-travel fix-its (which I do ;D) then this is a great read, and has some lovely art to go with it! 
Life and What Comes After by Ibelin
Pairing: None
Status: First part one-shot complete, second part ongoing
Summary: Obi-Wan dies on Jabiim. Anakin blames himself, doesn't know how to go on and yet - he does. Maybe the Force rewards that kind of thing, or maybe he just gets lucky, but when a mission lands Anakin on a vaguely familiar planet, he gets a second chance to do what he knows he should have done in the first place: save his master.(And maybe a chance to save the galaxy, too.)
Notes: *Don’t worry, Obi-Wan does not in fact die!*
Ngl, what attracted me to this fic in the first place was the tag “Unrealistically Well-Adjusted Anakin Skywalker” X’D For all they say that though, his growth as a person is actually written very believably - he’s still Ani, but you see the work he put in. And damn do I love me some real communication between Obi and Ani, and damn do we ever get that here. Obi kinda backtracks that a bit with his own self-esteem issues in part two, but I have no doubt the boys will get through it! 
Definitely recommend, it’s got some really wonderful family feels <3
Witness Me by SLWalker
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Maul
Status: 7 parts, final story part(s) ongoing (part 5 is the main series that’s ongoing, part 6 scattered one-shots, part 7 art for the series)
Summary: Instead of escaping to Lotho Minor, Maul's captured by the Order. Obviously, that changes everything.
Notes: I’m currently reading this one! The first several parts focus on building the relationship between Obi and Maul. Then in part 5 we start to focus more on Maul growing as his own person, though he is absolutely still Obi-Wans other half. Get ready for some clone feels, because I guarantee you will fall hard and fast for the Blackbirds once you meet them <3 <3 <3 I also appreciate that while there is definite censure for the Jedi council as a whole for certain decisions, and Anakin is his canon disaster self, there is no character bashing or throwing under buses, and conversely no hero worship either. Thus far everyone is treated fairly - I really enjoy that we tend to see not only several outside views of characters and situations, but also a lot of introspection as well. 
If you’re in it for the people, this story is very much for you <3

Guidelines for Artists
Artists may submit at least one (1) and no more than (3) pieces of Thiam artwork by the rough draft deadline.
Unless otherwise specified, each piece submitted will act as a standalone during the claiming phase. During the first Artist deadline, there will be a field for stating which artworks belong in a series and which are separate. 
Art may either be a newly unpublished piece OR a previously created piece that has not been inspired by an existing fanfiction or created for a Thiam event.
Artists have the opportunity to decide which personal warnings are off-limits for the writer/artwork. 
Artists may only submit art they have made. Any instances of plagiarism or bending of these pre-published guidelines will result in immediate report (in case of plagiarism) and/or disqualification (in case of bending). 
Artists may work through 2 tracks: Traditional (Not paired with a writer) and Partners (Already paired with a specific writer)
Both types of artists will submit their drafts on the listed due date. However, only Traditional artworks will enter the claiming phase.

Artists may also sign up as writers as long as they can fulfill the responsibilities of each. (Please fill out both forms.) 
Artists must submit a completed artwork to qualify for claims. 
Artists are free to tweak artwork after claims, but the piece should represent its entire concept to your potential writer during the claiming phase. 
Guidelines for Writers
Authors will solely create a story of at least 3,000 words and no longer than 50,000 words. 
Authors may work through 2 tracks: Traditional (Not paired with an artist) and Partners (Already paired with a specific artist.)

Authors, who select artwork created by underage artists (17 or below), must write a story with the rating of General or Teen. No exceptions allowed. 
Authors must respectfully not include content with warnings specified by Artists during claims (such as tropes or themes that may not be included in the fic.) 
 Authors may not alter any art or demand changes to any art to fit their story unless the artist explicitly permits the request. 
Authors may not commission additional art for this challenge even if Artists permit it. Authors may not illustrate their own art or ask other artists to gift further art for the story. Chapter dividers are considered other art and cannot be created by the author (but may be created by the artist).
Writers may also sign up as Artists as long as they can fulfill the responsibilities of each. 
Guidelines for Artworks
Art meets the qualifications for claiming if it: 
Focuses significantly on Thiam x Liam. Non-Thiam relationships or moresomes involving other characters are not allowed to be the focus of the piece. 
Follows any of the following visual formats: digital, traditional, Gifsets, video, aesthetics, musical, 2-D, or 3-D art. 
Aesthetics and Fanmixes are accepted, but as a complementary piece to other artwork. (There are countless ways to create under this guideline. Artists may pair multiple Aesthetics with Chapter Dividers/Story Poster or a Fanmix with a Video. You may also create a series of aesthetics.) Please be mindful that your masterpiece should inspire a writer to create an entire universe.
Contains no full nudity or lewd/sexual positions. Shirts off is the one exception. (This will be strictly enforced as the event is now all ages.)
Will be publicly accessible and unlocked for at least a year after the end of the Reverse Bang posting period, i.e. November 2020. 
Sizes at least 600px width, any height, for 2D and 3D art or 30 seconds for a video. (Gifs should be at least 300px width, any height. There are no restrictions on file size, but please prepare for form/email file restrictions placed by Google.) 
Posts to Tumblr with a link to all artworks and a link to the inspired story (Image embedding recommended but not required). 
IMPORTANT: Artists must not discuss/preview art they will submit before posting in November and especially before Claiming. Since previously published art will be accepted, there is a chance of recognizable works. To combat further bias, we require all Writers to enter Claims with surprised eyes, eager brains, and little preference. 
This includes discussing or previewing any part of the art in private groups that may include people not participating in the challenge.
Guideline for Stories: 
All stories meet the qualifications for posting if they: 
Contain at least 3,000 words and no more than 50,000 words.
Are completed upon posting week, as a one-shot or chaptered fic. 
Have been submitted first as a Typed Draft during the Writer Check-ins. 
Follow the following formats: traditional written prose or Listening Podfic. 
Post to AO3 and are included in the Official archive for the Thiam Reverse Big Bang. 
Tag AO3’s major archive warnings, including Major Character Death, non-con, underage, and graphic violence. All underage characters engaging in sexual content must be legally consenting and at least 16 years of age. 
Link to the Artist’s master post and/or embed artwork in AO3 posting (with Artist’s permission) 
Beta readers are strongly recommended, but not required for this event. 
This year, Tumblr Postings are also not required for Writers, but recommended.
Withdrawing from the Event
Artists are asked to withdraw from the event before claims open. In this case, there is no penalty for doing so. 
If withdrawn after this date, Artist will not be invited to return to any subsequent Thiam Bang events. Each instance will be handled on a case-by-case basis via the Moderator Team, especially considering emergencies.
Writers are asked to withdraw from the event before the Mandatory Team Check-ins. 
This gives the Mod Team proper time to seek a pinch hitter for the artwork. If withdrawn after this date, Artist will not be invited to return to any subsequent Thiam Bang events. Each instance will be handled on a case-by-case basis via the Moderator Team, especially considering emergencies.

WIP meme
Tagged by @uncannycookie
List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, art, vids, gifsets, whatever.
my original stuff:
1. Unnamed Collaborative Fantasy Story with @phantomroleplayer
A mix of stories and characters that we both started in junior high and high school, sewn together in a semi-cohesive plot.
As a small child in the early 20th Century, Alex Hudson was snatched away by the Fair Folk, doomed to serve as a handmaiden to her mistress forever more.
As a young adult, a rift appears in the fabric of reality, and Alex gathers her courage and escapes from the undying realms...into the present day.
Now, unmoored from both her humanity and her time period, failing to settle into the life of an ‘average’ college student, Alex has only one goal: to return to the Fey.
Which should be pretty easy...except for the part that they skip over kidnapping Alex, and instead go for her obnoxious but well-meaning next door neighbor instead.
2. The Clockwork Apocalypse with phantomroleplayer
Tumblr media
Another crossover of stories, featuring a different (albeit vaguely connected) set of characters.  
The Kelly Triplets, Diana, Talia, and Leah, have never had much use for normalcy. The world more-or-less ended decades before they were born, and humanity was still learning to cope with the fallout of a demon apocalypse.
To make matters worse, they’re starting Junior High.
Or: A series of vignettes about three sisters growing up in a post-apocalyptic world, featuring: Jack Kelly, their father professional ex(?)-demon hunter; Nimus, their mother and uncertified doctor specializing in ; Will, their older sister who might be immortal and might actually be God (she doesn’t like to talk about it); Pig, the family pet who might actually be Satan; Jezebel, the family car that sometimes seems like it has a mind of its own; and a whole crew of various demons, devils, cryptids, and monsters all trying to cope with the post-apocalyptic reality.
3. The Clockwork World
More or less the prequel to The Clockwork Apocalypse. Fleshes out Nimus and Will’s backstory.
4. Portfolio Project: Un Lun Dun
I don’t have anything really to show for this, but it’s based on China Mieville’s work. (Not totally original but close enough)
fandom stuff
1. On The Subject of Change with @rustnut
Tumblr media
I consider this ongoing because I have a bunch of print copies that I haven’t put up for sale yet. You can find the link to the full comic here.
2. The Adventure Zone Animated as part of @tazanimated
Tumblr media
I’m probably going to be doing a scene with Gundren. >:D 
There are a lot of really talented artists already lined up to participate, so y’all should get read to apply to join when it opens on June 1.
3. Mob Psycho 100 Fanfiction
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
I Could Even Learn How to Love (Like You)
NEITHER OF THESE ARE ABANDONED I JUST GOT SWAMPED WITH OTHER PROJECTS.
4. Day of the Caterpillar with Rustnut
Tumblr media
A really cute One Punch Man comic about Saitama finding a caterpillar in the wreckage of a fight, and attempting to rehome it while fighting off monsters and other threats.
(Includes Sonic crying, alone, in a trash can in an alleyway.)
5. Faster with Rustnut
Tumblr media
25 page One Punch Man one-shot comic, featuring a cute doggo, a cute kiddo, and Saitama’s drive to do better.
6. Fanzines
Tumblr media
@colorless-fanzine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@chasingrainbowszine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@terumobzine2017
X. Unnamed Tennis Comic with Rustnut
A really, really long Mob Psycho 100 comic that features the Esper Squad playing tennis: Teru and Mob vs Shou and Ritsu. Things go as well as you’d expect, and Mob spends most of the comic screaming internally. The script on this comic made me cackle.
X. Unnamed Mogami Comic with Rustnut
Another longer comic. Details redacted.
X. Mob Psycho 100 MAP with @thelightningbolt13
The project isn’t closed yet, even though my part is done, so it’s still on my WIPs list. May pick up another part.
Tumblr media
Original Post
X. Yu Gi Oh Reanimated with @ygoreanimate
Again, another project that isn’t closed yet, so it’s still on my WIPs list.\
Tumblr media
Original Post
Tagging friends!
@rustnut, @amalgarn, @shouganairu, @dokudoki, @ofpaintedflowers, @happikattwuzheere, @hawker-rawr, @benteja
Do it as you see fit. :D

Update: These rules have been updated to the new guidelines! Please see the following link with official updated rules and guidelines!
Major Changes (See below cut for full reimagined description of the event):
All Ages are welcomed to participate.
Artists are allowed to submit previously created artwork as long as the art has not been inspired by an existing fanfiction or created for a Thiam event. (See below for specific rules.)
No full nudity allowed for artwork. (Note this is non-negotiable.)
Aesthetics are allowed, but Artists should pair them with another type of art or multiple instances of similar styles, i.e. fanmix, chapter dividers, a series of more than 1 Aesthetics, etc.
Writers now have a minimum word count of 3,000 words.
If a writer’s claimed artist is 17 or under (as labeled during claims), the writer must only write Gen or Teen content. (Also, non-negotiable.)
Artist/Writer Partner Teams may sign up. No co-writing is allowed.  
NOTE: Everyone must RESUBMIT the Sign Up Form! New forms have been created to fit the below guidelines.
Event Tag: #ThiamRBB19
We hope you join this Thiam journey! Happy creating!
What’s a Reverse Bang?
Similar to the Big Bang, a Reverse Bang is a collaborative event between artists and writers. Artists will create art that will be anonymously claimed by writers. The writers will each create a story inspired by their chosen artwork.
Expectations for all participants
Anyone is welcomed to participate!
All participants must be registered for this event in order to submit art or post in November. 
Any participant joining during the Third (Public) Round of Claims is an exception to this rule. A special form will be made during that time for those participants. 
All participants are expected to read, understand, and adhere to the challenge rules. Any works that do not abide by these requirements will not be accepted.
All participants are expected to work with and respect their event partner and Moderators. This includes responding to messages and sending artwork/updates in a timely manner. Any infractions may result in the participant’s removal from the event. 
All Moderators are expected to work with and respect all event participants, and stick to the listed event schedule below. Any infractions will result in the moderator’s removal from the event. 
All participants are expected to respond to Email and Google Forms as their primary contact with the Mod team and any form of contact between their partners. 
Guidelines for Artists
Artists may submit at least one (1) and no more than (3) pieces of Thiam artwork by the rough draft deadline.
Unless otherwise specified, each piece submitted will act as a standalone during the claiming phase. During the first Artist deadline, there will be a field for stating which artworks belong in a series and which are separate. 
Art may either be a newly unpublished piece OR a previously created piece that has not been inspired by an existing fanfiction or created for a Thiam event.
Artists have the opportunity to decide which personal warnings are off-limits for the writer/artwork. 
Artists may only submit art they have made. Any instances of plagiarism or bending of these pre-published guidelines will result in immediate report (in case of plagiarism) and/or disqualification (in case of bending). 
Artists may work through 2 tracks: Traditional (Not paired with a writer) and Partners (Already paired with a specific writer)
Both types of artists will submit their drafts on the listed due date. However, only Traditional artworks will enter the claiming phase. 
Artists in the partnering track may work with up to 2 Writers. 
Artists may also sign up as writers as long as they can fulfill the responsibilities of each. (Please fill out both forms.) 
Artists must submit a completed artwork to qualify for claims. 
Artists are free to tweak artwork after claims, but the piece should represent its entire concept to your potential writer during the claiming phase. 
Guidelines for Writers
Authors will solely create a story of at least 3,000 words and no longer than 50,000 words. 
Authors may work through 2 tracks: Traditional (Not paired with an artist) and Partners (Already paired with a specific artist.)
Only Traditional Authors will receive directions for Claiming Phase.  
Claims will happen in 3 Rounds:
First: Registered Authors anonymously choose one (1) piece of art in the First round of claiming. 
Second: Registered Authors claim another story if they choose and there is leftover art.  
Third: Unregistered Authors will have the opportunity to join the challenge and claim a piece of artwork. If a Third round is necessary, those details will be posted in the #Thiam tag and the event tag, #ThiamRBB19. 
Authors, who select artwork created by underage artists (17 or below), must write a story with the rating of General or Teen. No exceptions allowed. 
Authors must respectfully not include content with warnings specified by Artists during claims (such as tropes or themes that may not be included in the fic.) 
 Authors may not alter any art or demand changes to any art to fit their story unless the artist explicitly permits the request. 
Authors may not commission additional art for this challenge even if Artists permit it. Authors may not illustrate their own art or ask other artists to gift further art for the story. Chapter dividers are considered other art and cannot be created by the author (but may be created by the artist).
Writers may also sign up as Artists as long as they can fulfill the responsibilities of each. 
Guidelines for Artworks
Art meets the qualifications for claiming if it: 
Focuses significantly on Thiam x Liam. Non-Thiam relationships or moresomes involving other characters are not allowed to be the focus of the piece. 
Follows any of the following visual formats: digital, traditional, Gifsets, video, aesthetics, musical, 2-D, or 3-D art. 
Aesthetics and Fanmixes are accepted, but as a complementary piece to other artwork. (There are countless ways to create under this guideline. Artists may pair multiple Aesthetics with Chapter Dividers/Story Poster or a Fanmix with a Video. You may also create a series of aesthetics.) Please be mindful that your masterpiece should inspire a writer to create an entire universe.
Contains no full nudity or lewd/sexual positions. Shirts off is the one exception. (This will be strictly enforced as the event is now all ages.)
Will be publicly accessible and unlocked for at least a year after the end of the Reverse Bang posting period, i.e. November 2020. 
Sizes at least 600px width, any height, for 2D and 3D art or 30 seconds for a video. (Gifs should be at least 300px width, any height. There are no restrictions on file size, but please prepare for form/email file restrictions placed by Google.) 
Posts to Tumblr with a link to all artworks and a link to the inspired story (Image embedding recommended but not required). 
IMPORTANT: Artists must not discuss/preview art they will submit before posting in November and especially before Claiming. Since previously published art will be accepted, there is a chance of recognizable works.
