Will there be an event this year? I’m ten foot deep into a Ressler/Keenler meltdown and I need to get this nervous tension out by writing about them.
Hi there! After thinking it through, we have decided not to host an official Febressuary event this year. It was already going to be challenging with the delayed S10 premiere and other factors but in the end, we realized that the three of us simply don't have the time to plan it and do it the way we like to do it with everything else going on in our lives.
That said, if your muse is talking, indulge it and write! If you're looking for prompts to guide you, there are tons of general fic prompts all over Tumblr. Just because there's no formal event doesn't mean people shouldn't create if they feel inspired!
Good question. We were leaning against doing the full traditional event in 2023 when we thought new S10 eps would be airing throughout the month. It was really hard to keep up with the event plus new eps when we had a January premiere back in S6. However, we have also in the past done a "modified" event without the pressure of daily themes. I guess we should revisit the issue with the delayed premiere. Personally, I feel like there are so many Ressler edits out there on a daily/weekly basis now on Instagram that maybe it's redundant? And the Tumblr fandom is pretty dead. It gets harder every year to come up with new and interesting themes! But we had great participation and enthusiasm last year, especially with the expansion to instagram, so I'll discuss with @aussieokie and @nancyjocom to see what, if anything, we think we can manage. Thoughts and comments are welcome!
For the sixth year in a row, we are excited to spend the month of February celebrating Donald Ressler. Now more than ever, it's time to show our love for our favorite agent!
We’ll post a calendar soon with daily/weekly themes to provide inspiration for the month. You can do gifs, videos, images, fanfics, or anything else creative all relating to the themes.
If you can’t do every day, that’s not a problem! If you just want to pick a few days, that’s fine! Remember to tag everything with #Febressuary so we can find it.
We welcome participation from our friends on Instagram and will do our best to share any Instagram posts that are created on both platforms!
Your hosts for this year are @aussieokie, @alyblacklist and @nancyjocom. Feel free to message us here or on Instagram with any questions!
On this bonus day of 'Febressuary', I firstly wanted to thank you warmly for your patient and professional dedication to this tumblr and its numerous asks through the years!
I ran into a (probably dated) Blacklist playlist on Spotify, apparently curated by Bokenkamp and cast, and was wondering whether you knew if the actors curated their own character's playlist? As an example here is Ressler's playlist. Thank you!
I'm sorry I'm answering this so late - I literally just opened Tumblr tonight and saw this ask. Thank you for your kind words!
I was able to dig up Jon Bokenkamp's tweet confirming that the actors chose the songs for their characters:
Glad you're enjoying the playlist! I had forgotten about those!
