Prompts should ideally be responded to in the form of whump

Creators can make any type of media they want (Yes, this includes any kind of media, no matter how niche. As long as it’s creative, it’s allowed)

You can do as few or as many prompts as you like

You can complete these prompts in tandem with any other event or other prompts (such as in combination with Bad Things Happen Bingo, AU-gust, etc.)

DO NOT use ai. I can’t be entirely sure what is or isn’t, but I trust you to at least put some type of effort in your creations. These events are no fun otherwise!

Tag & trigger warn your content accordingly

Yes, NSFW is allowed (and this year you CAN tag me in it! Aka I’m eighteen now baybeee)

Tag your works as #augustofwhump and/or #augustofwhump2025. (No spaces please! From now on I’ll only be reblogging what I find in these specific tags for my convenience.) In addition to that, you can also tag this account — @augustofwhump. I’ll try to reblog whatever I can!

Welcome to the 9-1-1 Rare Pare and Crack Ship Celebration!

Mods: Myself ( @shelfthe-reader , @legendary-dumpster-fire , @hailstormtsunami )

What is this event? 

The 9-1-1 Rare Pair and Crack Ship Celebration is just that! We all love Buddie, Bathena, HenRen, and Madney. Truly. But lately, there’s been an uptick in people saying “don’t ship it if it isn’t canon,” which is a load of bull. So I have created this series of events to combat this line of thinking. We should all be able to (within reason) ship who we want, no matter how unrealistic and foolish it may be. The ultimate goal of this event is to give off “Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons” type of energy (iykyk)

How do I take part?

Well, that’s easy! This event is set up three different ways: a structured “week” of prompts, two different Bingo Cards, and a simple list of prompts. This way, anyone can join, in whatever way the inspiration strikes. Of course, you may not even want to use a given prompt. Just being here may be inspiration enough, and that’s perfectly fine! Below are links to the TUMBLR COMMUNITY and DISCORD SERVER

Link to Tumblr Community

Link to Discord Server

What mediums do I submit?

Anything that strikes your fancy! A drabble, a full piece of fanfiction, an art piece, an edit, a playlist… whatever gets you to be creative! On Tumblr and Bluesky, there will be the hashtag #911rarepaircelebration, and there will also be a collection on AO3.

Are there any restrictions?

In terms of types of submissions, no! However, as stated in our rules, we do ask that you refrain from promoting pairings that are incestuous, pedophilic, or grooming in nature (ex. Maddie/Buck, or May/Buck). If you have any questions about this rule, please do not hesitate to reach out to the mods!

When does posting start?

For the general prompt list and Bingo cards, as soon as the prompts are released! If you are planning on participating in the structured prompt week, that will be from August 24th - August 30th. 

Is there a timeline?

Nope! As long as I’m here, this celebration will be to. If you find these prompts in five years, be my guest! All I want to do is promote creativity, no matter how far into the future!

If you have any more questions, ping a mod or myself! We are happy to answer any question!

[dengswei]

your gifsets are perfect, I'm always in awe of what you can do and you're creativity!!! Could you please explain how you made the broken glass gif with different gif in it on photopea? https://www.tumblr.com/dengswei/754916132337729536/userdramas-creator-bingo-green-asiandramanet?source=share and would it be possible to do something similar with other shapes? Thank you for your lovely creations <33

heyy thanks so much!! and of course! i have to admit the way i do it might be a little bit tedious compared to like everyone else (though i don't know how photoshop users or other photopea users might do it 🤣) okay this is gonna end up being so long because of the way i do it so i'm sorry about that and i hope it makes sense 😭

okay i have to admit i couldn't find the texture i've seen people use for the shattered glass effect so i actually used a photopea default brush from this pack

to download the brush set go to window -> plugins -> brush and then search for wall cracks brush (it's literally the only wall related brush set in photopea so it'll show up the moment you download it)

so for the gif i did above i did my giffing the usual way of creating & colouring for different gifs seperatly and then adding them all to one project (it doesn't have to be 4 gifs i just chose 4 because that's what i wanted to show in this gif)

i've done this twice once for this set and another time for this the blood of youth set and i have to say the most important part of this is keep multiple versions of the brush in the position you want as you can so once you've used it to test it out and you like that version keep it because unless you can manage to position the brush in the exact same place every time you're gonna need to reference those (or even use the magic wand tool for it later) and also you need to keep at least a white on black background version for the outline

in the brush pack the one i used was this one: (3564, crack b 9)

for this part i just say play around with both positioning and sizing of the brush, it automatically opens with the size 3000+ which is fine i think with the tushan jing one (the green gif above) i stuck with that size and just kept clicking around until i got the positioning i wanted (this is another reason why i said what i said in the paragraph above because if the brush size is bigger than 1000 it's doesn't come out in the exact positioning as you expect it too

i decide the positioning of the gifs on the way i like the brick brush looking rather than the other way around, this is the positioning i went with if you're curious & would like to use it if that's easier 🤣

you'll need to keep this as a seperate layer at the top, i had it set to screen and then added a colour fill layer clipped on later so that i had the outline for when i was masking

so to start off i have the base gif which i do nothing to, that stays as it is, with the brush layer above set to screen

next is where you want to position your other gifs it may benefit to figure this out all at first before doing any of the masking so you know which parts you want to erase and which parts you want to keep

so this is what i decided with my positioning looking at where each of the cracks are

now comes the tedious part, in some ways the way i do this is a lot similar to how i do grid but it's not as easy (for grid photopea automatically locks onto the squares making it easier to mask, here you have to do it all manually)

first put a raster mask on all of the other gifs except for the base gif & use the magic wand tool on the brush layer so you get the outline of the brush and you mask that away from your gif (so if you turned off the brush layer it should look a little something like this: (it's not perfect but it won't matter that much because you should have the original turned on at the end anyway) (you don't have to do this step tbh i just did it because i thought it looked better)

so with the brush layer turned on you can use that as a template to which parts of the cracks you want to erase, you can either use the magic wand or the paint brush tool it really depends on how much of a perfectionist you are and whether or not the sharp edges bother you (plus some of the cracks have small openings so it might erase another part you don't want if you use the magic wand tool so it really is another instance of playing around and seeing what you like, and it might also change once you add the other gifs too)

so this is how it looks after i've done that (notice in the middle you can still see the edge of the gif? that won't matter because one of the other 2 gifs i still have yet to mask will cover that) & just repeat the same thing for the other gifs you want to add

this is how my masking folders look if you're curious

& last but not least i added a green colour fill layer clipped to the brush layer and set that to darken to get the green effect (make sure that the brush layer is still set to screen)

& once you've merged all of the gifs together you should get your desired outcome like the gif above (make sure that all the gifs have the same amount of frames too)

when it comes to other shapes i'm sure you can! like i did a tutorial with the grid version here, i guess it'll just be a lot of trial and error & finding a texture or brush with different shapes to try it out with kinda like how i did with both versions of this (i definitely did it a lot better this time around compared to the first version i did of this)

hopefully this wasn't too long or too confusing, if anything is please feel free to ask me again and i'll try and explain it a little better 🤣

Anmibirthday Comment Bingo

Hi All, our Comm Annibirthday is coming up - the be_compromised livejournal was created 6th May (first post 7th May) 2012. We’ve reached teenage status (13)!

In the spirit of gift giving and spreading some fandom joy, appreciation, and encouragement: let’s gift some comments. Taking place until the end of May see how many squares you can cross off on the bingo card below. Share in the DW comments, on tumblr, on discord, or wherever you like. Let us know if you score a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) or a full house. Comments can be on anything, not just Clint/Natasha works (apart from the clintasha specific square). All fun, no pressure.

Feel free to also continue this after May, but - as those doing the WIP challenge know - sometimes setting a deadline helps with getting things done :D

Suggestions For Leaving Comments

If you're feeling stuck here's some suggestions for leaving comments. Feel free to share guides and other top tips:

If you reached the end of a fic, lingered looking at fan art, or watched a fan vid to the end, then just simply saying that you liked it will very much be appreciated! If you'd like to expand on that, you could add one/a few things that stood out that you liked. And if you liked it enough that you decided to bookmark it to view again, the creator would love to hear that too.

> I really liked this! / I really enjoyed this! / Thank you for writing this! > I liked when... / I especially liked... / I loved the bit where... Could be with a brief explanation of the part you mean, or you could just copy and paste your favourite line(s). For art and other creative works maybe you liked the colours, the way the character's hair was drawn, the timing of the music and the visuals in a fanvid. > This part made me laugh... / Argh, it was so sad when... Creators love to hear your reactions. That can be copy and pasting lines and then adding 'I loved this!', 'ARGH', Clint, no. CLINT, YES.', an emoji... > I've bookmarked this to appreciate again / I loved this so much, it's one I'll reread! / I've watched this vid ten times and I'm gonna watch it again > Or you can take a page from the lovely firlalaith's book and leave a string of hearts: 💜💜💜

If you have any questions please comment in the questions comment thread on DW or @ a mod in the discord. As always, be kind and have fun. Happy Annibirthday folks!

[vampirefest]

Dear companions in darkness, the wait is finally over! We'd like to thank everyone who participated in our little guessing game, we got a lot of interesting answers.

For the month of November, we bring you a fun low-pressure bingo inspired by Lestat, that you can fill up at your leisure throughout the month.

You can use the prompts on the bingo card to write fanfics, make fanart, amvs, edits or any other creative outlet to show your appreciation for our beloved Brat Prince.

You can find the rules and guidelines for the event here. The link to the collection can be found here.

Don't forget to tag with #vflestatbirthdaybingo and/or tag us at @vampirefest so that we can find your posts.

Here is the complete bingo card for our birthday boy!

You can find the full detailed prompts below the cut.

Happy Lestat Month!

1. "My lord, the Wolfkiller": The killing of the wolves, a moment that comes to define Lestat for all eternity. You can explore this fundamental event in Lestat's life, the way it altered the course of his life and his family dynamics, and the symbolism it came to represent in Lestat's later life.

2. First love I The witches' place: For Nickistat lovers out there, this is your time to shine! It's also a chance to explore another formative moment of Lestat's life—his experience at the witches' place—when Lestat came to the fundamental understanding that there is no meaning in the end - not to the cruelty, not to the laws of men - all that exists is the one life he's living and the aesthetic of it all.

3. The performer: Actor | Rockstar: Performing is Lestat's second nature, either to present an image of himself to others to earn their love, or to hide this true self. From the time he is a young man, Lestat is awed by actors and artists, they create worlds and life out of nothingness. Some of Lestat's best and happiest moments are on the stage, acting or singing for his adoring public.

4. Rue Royale era: For decades, 1132 Rue Royale was the home of our favourite little vampire family. A family that, according to Lestat, shouldn't have lasted as long as it did. Here you can explore the dynamics between the unholy family, between Lestat and Louis, and the highs and lows of this period in Lestat's life. As Lestat said, he has never been as happy as in that little house on Rue Royale.

5. Free Space: This is your chance to explore any themes or moments in our brat prince's life outside of the prompts proposed. Let your creativity run wild!

6. "I don't like myself, you know.! love myself, of course. I'm devoted to myself till my dying day. But I don't like myself.": Use this prompt to explore Lestat's insecurities and his complicated relationship with himself, from his abandonment issues to his reflections on his body, his monstrosity and so much more.

7. Lust for life: Here you can explore Lestat the dreamer, Lestat the hedonist, Lestat the embodiment of hunger. He has a lust for blood, love, adventure, for a better life filled with more excitement and lived to the fullest. Lestat takes what he wants and follows his every whim.

8. Resilience: Lestat is the metaphorical cockroach of the Vampire Chronicles universe. Whatever life throws at him, he rolls with the punches and finds a way to survive and make the best of every situation. He always finds a way to reinvent himself and to keep moving forward. With this prompt, you can explore Lestat's defiance in the face of obstacles and his resilience even under the worst circumstances.

9. The Brat Prince | Prince Lestat era: Set your creations in the Prince Lestat era or simply explore Lestat's bratty nature that earned him the moniker "The Brat Prince".

Design a Reading Nook:

Curate a cozy reading corner with books by LGBTQ+ authors. Dive into their stories and explore diverse perspectives. It’s a great way to celebrate Pride while enjoying some quiet time.

Get Creative in the Kitchen:

Use your culinary skills to make festive creations. Bake rainbow-themed cookies, cupcakes, or a colorful cake. Share your delicious treats with loved ones or enjoy them yourself.

So, tell us, how are you planning to celebrate Pride Month this year? No matter how you choose to show your pride, remember that love is love and you are valid, fabulous, and deserving of all the happiness in the world. Happy Pride Month, love bugs!

Until My Dying Breath by EmilianaDarling

Thank you Anon - for your contribution to the 2023 Klaine bingo event! ~Jen The Bingo Collection now on Ao3!

1. Debut Fanfic

Trick or Treat by bitbybit (puttingittogether) @bitbybitwrites

Summary: It’s Halloween and Blaine’s favorite time of year. Little does he know that his husband has a bit of a trick and treat waiting for him when he gets home.

Based off of the Klaine Creative Challenge #1/ Halloween/Costume Klaine from the Klaine 40 FB group.

Prompt: where Kurt is in costume and ready to go out, and Blaine walks in and sees him like that. Inspired by Chris Colfer's 2021 Halloween video from Instagram and his outfit.

2. Page-turning Fanfic that made you stay up past your bedtime:

Soulsongs and Seastars by @GleefulPoppet

In a world where Doms and subs depend on the symbiotic relationship their pheromones provide, it can be a matter of life and death to go too long without a claim. When one of the most powerful Doms in New York comes home for some much-needed family time, he stumbles upon a scene that throws his instincts into high alert as he witnesses a sub do something he’s never seen before. Will the bravery of one man change his life forever? Kurt Hummel knows there’s only a one-in-a-million chance of finding his Soulsong, but what are the odds it could happen in a run-down mall in Lima, Ohio?

3. Fanfic that made you reach for a box of tissues:

The Edge of the Light by gemjam

After Kurt calls off their wedding, Blaine spirals into a bad place that he never manages to get out of. He accepts his life, working the streets at night and sleeping his days away, until a chance encounter two years later leads Kurt back into his life, and Blaine has to re-evaluate everything to see if he can really earn a happy ending.

4. Fic where one has an unusual occupation.:

Bicycle Patrol Unit by CoffeeAddict80 @caramelcoffeeaddict

When NYPD bicycle cop, Blaine Anderson, begins to fall for Kurt Hummel - the gorgeous man that he first notices while Kurt is jogging through the park during Blaine’s patrol there - it causes a rift between him and his patrol partner, Sebastian Smythe

5. Wild Card - any fanfic you wish to highlight.:

Yule Be Mine by @scatterthestars

Crashing weddings is nothing new for Kurt. Being caught, however, is. When a handsome stranger comes to his rescue, he has no problem going along with Blaine's plan of pretending to be his boyfriend for the night. But one thing leads to another and Kurt soon finds himself agreeing to spending a week with Blaine and his family for Christmas. What can go wrong? He'll play pretend. Hang ornaments on the tree, decorate some cookies, and have fun in the snow. He won't fall for Blaine's family. And definitely won't fall for the handsome, great guy he's pretending to date. Right?

6. Fanfic set during the summer:

Miles To Go by hundredindecisions

In the wake of Finn’s death, Kurt struggles to keep up with schoolwork at NYADA or engage with his life in general. He finally finds purpose again when he decides to spend the summer venturing west, to scatter Finn’s ashes in the Pacific Ocean. The road trip is long and lonely and challenging, but Kurt’s luck starts to turn around when he meets a handsome man named Blaine, who’s heading to California for his own reasons. After crossing paths in Colorado, they decide to travel together. As they get closer to the west coast they start to let down their walls, learning more about each other and revealing what they’re really seeking on this trip.

7. Fanfic is written for a challenge.

Myosotis series by  maanorchidee ( Written for Klaine Advent Challenge 2019)

Kurt remembers meeting Blaine very vividly. After all, they only just met. Blaine also remembers meeting Kurt very vividly, but to him, it's been years since they met. Now, the two of them have to find ways to (re)connect and see where their relationship goes.

8. Fanfic that made you laugh out loud.

Skylight by DivineLady91

When Blaine's mom calls from the airport to inform her son that she's shown up early for Christmas, he and Kurt are forced to scramble and clean before she arrives. Seeing as they were indulging in morning-long sex-capades, they'll need all the time they have. But their cleaning efforts get called on account of something inappropriate stuck in an unexpected place.

9. Fanfic that you enjoyed using a genre/trope that you don't normally read.

Fun Tajweed Activities and Games for Kids

Teaching Tajweed to kids can be a fun and rewarding experience. The process of learning proper pronunciation of the Arabic letters and their rules can feel like a game when approached with creativity. Fun tajweed activities and games for kids help children not only understand the importance of pronunciation but also enjoy the learning process. Here are some exciting ideas to make Tajweed lessons more engaging for kids.

1. Tajweed Bingo

A simple way to review Tajweed rules is by using Bingo cards. Create a set of cards that have different Tajweed rules written on them, like the “Meem Sakinah,” “Qalqalah,” or “Ikhfa.” As you say out a rule or sound, the kids can mark off the correct space on their Bingo card. The first one to fill their card wins a small prize. This is a great activity to reinforce their knowledge in a playful way.

2. Tajweed Memory Game

You can create a memory card game with pairs of words that follow the same Tajweed rule. For example, cards with words that require “Madd” or cards that need to be pronounced with “Qalqalah.” As the children take turns flipping over the cards, they must match pairs of words that have the same Tajweed rule. This game sharpens their memory while teaching them different pronunciation rules.

3. Singing Tajweed Songs

Kids love music, and you can use that to your advantage by turning Tajweed rules into songs. Create simple rhymes or tunes that explain how to pronounce certain letters or follow specific rules. Singing the Tajweed rules makes it easier for children to remember and enjoy the learning process. You can make it even more fun by encouraging kids to come up with their own songs or rhythms!

4. Tajweed Charades

In this activity, children act out different Tajweed rules or sounds. For example, one child may act out the sound of a letter with a strong emphasis (like “Qalqalah”), while others try to guess the rule or letter. It’s a great way to get kids involved in learning through movement and creativity. Charades also helps children connect physical actions with pronunciation, making it a multi-sensory learning experience.

5. Tajweed Flashcards

Flashcards are a tried-and-true method of teaching, and they work well with Tajweed. Create cards that show different letters or words that require a specific Tajweed rule. As you show the cards to the kids, ask them to pronounce the word correctly, focusing on the Tajweed rule. You can make it a race by timing each child or using the cards for a group competition.

6. Tajweed Treasure Hunt

This activity involves hiding cards with Tajweed rules or letters around the room or house. Children can search for the cards and, when they find one, they must demonstrate the correct pronunciation of the word or rule on the card before moving on to the next clue. The hunt keeps them excited while reinforcing their knowledge of Tajweed.

7. Matching Games

Another easy and fun way to practice Tajweed is by creating a matching game. You can write down different words and their corresponding Tajweed rules on separate pieces of paper. The children must match the word with the correct rule. This can be done with pictures, colors, or simple text to suit the age group.

8. Pronunciation Race

For older kids or those who are more advanced, you can organize a pronunciation race. In this activity, write a list of words or verses on the board and time each child as they take turns reading them aloud. The goal is to pronounce each word correctly while following the Tajweed rules. This friendly competition encourages them to focus on accuracy and speed.

9. Group Tajweed Lessons

Group learning can be highly effective when it comes to Tajweed. In a small group, each child can take turns reading a verse aloud. The others can listen and provide feedback on pronunciation, making it a collaborative effort. This activity can help children learn from each other and also boost their confidence.

10. Art and Craft Tajweed Activities

Incorporate arts and crafts into Tajweed lessons by having the children create posters or drawings related to the Tajweed rules they’re learning. For example, they can draw the different letters with different colors to represent different rules, or create a poster about Madd or Qalqalah. This visual approach helps reinforce their understanding while allowing them to express their creativity.

By introducing fun tajweed activities and games for kids, children are more likely to feel excited and motivated to learn. The key is to keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable while maintaining focus on correct pronunciation. As they play and practice, they’ll naturally develop a stronger grasp of Tajweed and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Quran.
