#Fanworks Wednesdays

Work in Progress Wednesday

Hey all! Long time no WIPW. I moved recently and my creative juices have been running pretty low, but I’m settling in now.

I’ve been working (since before the move) on a series of small paintings for @monbons’s lovely fic, The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch. Each piece corresponds to a particular chronological point in the 42,000 word fic, highlighting inflection points in the titular character’s life experiences. Here, then, are the first 2 of a planned 5 painting set:

And a close up of the tiny Baz, pencil lead for scale:

And yes, all of the paintings are on old floppy disks! An explanation of my intentions for each after some no-pressure tags and hellos:

@monbons @rimeswithpurple @larkral @raenestee @youarenevertooold @simonsnowsfreckles @prettygoododds @roomwithanopenfire @ebbpettier and anyone else who’d like to post something but hasn’t been tagged yet!

Okay now, warning, spoilers for Eternal Life ahead:

The first piece shows Baz’s scene in the forest behind his childhood home, a variety of trinkets buried at the riverbed as his aunt had taught him. In the thin moonlight, the too-dark shadow of the darkness-called-Lamb stands in stark silhouette.

The second piece shows Baz sitting under a tree in a London park at dusk, reading. He is framed by peonies and gladioluses on either side. The odd-numbered peonies suggest love and a new beginning, but also hint at bad luck. The gladiolus variety I chose literally symbolizes “I will pierce your heart.”

I missed WIP Wednesday, but have a WIP anyways cuse I imagine this one is going to take me a minute….

Edit: if you are seeing this now, the final painting is on my profile! I’d love if you checked it out :)

On a personal note, my first semester of my masters is done! Proposal is submitted! Crazy how much has happened in such a short time.

wip wednesday

thanks to @dimplesandfierceeyes for the tag! and somehow i have managed to actually do it on wednesday lol

here's a snippet from a canon-divergent patpran fic, where the faculties are not enemies but the families still are, which i'm hoping to have the first chapter of done soon 🤞🏾:

But of course, now that Pat knows that Pran is at South Tech, living in the Tinidee dorms, he’s suddenly everywhere. He’s studying engineering, apparently, which is another piece of profoundly bad luck for Pran, because it means that they have a lecture together. Pran doesn’t know how, in their first few sessions, he hadn’t noticed Pat among the crowd of blue shirts who tend to sit on the other side of the hall from his faculty, but the next time they have that class, Pat makes a beeline for Pran and his friends after the lecture is over. “Pran!” he says, smiling. “Can’t believe I didn’t notice we were both in this lecture until now. It must be fate, huh?” “More like bad luck,” Pran mutters. His friends glance at him in surprise. Well, they have a right to be – they’ve probably never seen Pran be this rude with anyone. Pat notices their reactions, because of course he fucking does, and it only makes his smile grow wider. “Aren’t you going to introduce me?” he says. Pran glowers. “Pat.” “That’s my name!” Pat says cheerfully. “What’s yours?” he adds, looking at Louis. Louis blinks at him, caught off-guard. “Uh – Louis. And this is Safe, and Wai.” Wai and Safe nod politely at Pat, still looking bewildered. “How do you know Pran?” “Oh, I’ve known Pran all my life,” Pat says airily. “Our families are neighbors. We grew up together.” “Really?” says Wai, with interest. Damn him. “Pran never talks about his childhood.” Pat seems to falter a bit at that, throwing Pran a confused look, but he recovers quickly. “Oh, I have plenty of stories, if you ever want them,” he tells Wai with a grin, and that’s just about as much as Pran can take of this conversation. “No time, we have to get to our Design Studio class,” he says, curt, grabbing his stuff to make his exit. Pran’s friends scramble to follow him. “Nice to meet you all!” Pat says, waving, and Pran shoots him one last scathing look. “What’s your deal with that guy?” Wai asks once Pran’s slowed down enough for his friends to catch up. “Did he bully you or something?” Pran groans. “No, nothing like that,” he says, begrudgingly. “He’s just – annoying. It’s a long story.” “Well, he’s also pretty hot,” says Safe with a smirk. “If you don’t want him, I call dibs.” Pran’s stomach drops. What the fuck? He’s pretty sure that Safe is joking, especially from the way he’s now waggling his eyebrows, but apparently that’s not enough for Pran to keep his reaction off his face, because Safe blanches when he notices. “Or – not?” he says uncertainly. “Un-dibs, un-dibs.” That, unfortunately, only makes his friends look at him with even more curiosity, but they manage to refrain from asking. Pat, on the other hand doesn’t refrain from anything.

My new job has so much less downtime than my last one and I'm being slowly tortured right now as I'm brimming over with horny thoughts and ideas for scenes for the hardcore punk story but I don't have time to write bits down on my phone to email them to myself for later, or or making little doodles on post-its, or even really spend much time daydreaming about them and my brain might explode

Wednesday is my Edgerunners of late 2022

[ashdoesfandomarchieved]

anyway my final take away from wednesday (netflix) is that whole narrative around wednesday owing anyone anything was dumb as shit. girl rolled into town and literally told everyone she didn't want to be there an didn't want to make friends. some guy was like "you're giving me mixed signals" when the only signal she gave was "go away." her roommate and other ''friends'' made a huge deal about her being an awful friend when she didn't want to be friends with them in the first place.

like yeah wednesday wasn't a good person but she literally wasn't pretending to be. why tf was the narrative punishing her for living up to her own standards.

There are three prompts to choose from each day–you can pick just one, or combine them in whatever way makes sense to you! They're meant to be inspiring, rather than restrictive. Can't wait to see what you all come up with💖

Rules and guidelines for the event are below the cut, and as always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Rules & Guidelines

1. What's allowed? Pretty much anything! Artwork, fanfiction, gifsets, headcanons, analysis/meta, memes, etc. are all welcome, as long as they're your own work and are Korrasami-focused.

2. Explicit content is fine, but the characters need to be adults, and everything depicted MUST be consensual.

3. Please abide by Tumblr's guidelines about explicit content, otherwise there's a chance Tumblr might delete your submission! If you're not sure, you can always post your work to another site (AO3, twitter, etc.) and then link to it here. All explicit content posted and reblogged here will be tagged "nsft" so be sure to block that tag if you'd like to filter out such content!

4. No whitewashing, racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, or other bigotry of any kind. Content that explores these themes is ok, but they shouldn't go unchallenged in the piece, and they should be tagged with the appropriate warnings.

5. When submitting visual or audio media, please include a description either in ALT text or in the body of the post itself.

6. Other characters and relationships from The Legend of Korra are welcome, but your submission should be primarily about Korrasami.

7. Be kind. No criticism ("constructive" or otherwise) of other people's work unless the creator explicitly requests it. If you don't like something, just keep scrolling!

8. Follow the prompts if you can! They're meant to be helpful, but if you get inspired by something else entirely, please feel free to submit whatever you make!

9. Tag for content warnings if you think something might be triggering. Use your best judgment, but if you aren't sure whether a CW is needed, it doesn't hurt to ask!

10. Submit your fanwork either by mentioning @korrasamiweek2024 in the body of your post and using the #korrasamiweek2024 tag, or by submitting it directly to this blog. You can also add it to the Korrasami Week 2024 Collection on AO3. All submissions for each prompt will be reblogged or posted by the end of the day.

11. There's no such thing as a stupid question, so if you're unsure about something, feel free to ask!

'90s Batfamily Week Masterlist

Due to an overwhelming amount of support, we are excited to announce that '90s Batfamily week will be happening! All the information for the event can be found in this masterpost, so please read!

90s Batfamily week will be occurring from November 4th-10th, so mark your calendars!

The prompts will be the following: Monday, November 4th - No Man's Land // Found Family Tuesday, November 5th - Knightfall // Secrets Wednesday, November 6th - Batman the Animated Series // Undercover Mission Thursday, November 7th - The Long Halloween // Horror Movie

Friday, November 8th - Contagion // Long Nights Saturday, November 9th - Prodigal // Western Sunday, November 10th - Teammates // Angst

Purpose

We wanted to celebrate the exciting dynamic of the '90s batfam, and especially feature some characters who haven't been utilized in more modern batfam media. We hope to engage with a community of fans that are excited to create and pull from fun '90s tropes and media.

How it works

This is an opportunity for people who'd like to explore the '90s Batfam characters, dynamics, and relationships through a variety of prompts. Romantic ships are allowed, but please make sure the Batfam is the focus of your work. This fanweek will have a dedicated blog. These prompts are free for anyone to use. Because it is a non-traditional, non-monetized, and free-to-opt-in casual event, there will be limited mods, no advertising of paid services. I will open a collection on AO3 at the end of October for anyone who wants their work collected for this event.

Rules

This is a SFW (safe for work) event. As a loose rule, please keep your works PG-13. For those posting on tumblr, please follow the site’s guidelines. Please no batcest.

What can I contribute?

Fanart (standalones, comic strips, etc.), fanfiction (one-shots, multichapter, etc.), fanmixes, gifsets, graphics— and more!

Some Final Thoughts:

If you engage with any of the fanworks, please reblog! Share the work with your followers. Support your fellow creators.

For this event, as you post your work, please use the following tag so we can repost your work on our blog!
