🌸 RinHaru Week 2024 Day 3 | “Letters that were for you” 🌸

Hoping that the quality isn’t too bad on this one. I started in Sai but I transferred it to my iPad so I could work on it while I was at work and I didn’t realize how low the quality got until now TvT

Rin wants to become a chef. Haru… well, Haru just wants to cook. Preferably with Rin.

Rinharu Week - Day 1: Iwatobi Swim Club (Splash Free)

[thenightpool]

Introducing GO FOR GOLD!

Since 🥇Go For Gold!🥇 — an entire month of rinharu fun! — officially kicks off on July 1st 2024, it's high time we introduced this never-before-seen event and our (100% optional) prompt list for it here on Tumblr.

What is 🥇Go For Gold!🥇?

🥇Go For Gold!🥇 is going to be A GIANT RINHARU PARTY with fun prizes to be won, group watches, themed discussions & much more! It'll run from July 1st aaaaaaall the way through July 31st, which means it's going to overlap with the beginning of the swimming events at the summer Olympics in Paris. 😌

As you can probably already tell from looking at our schedule, we'll be focusing on different parts of the Free!-series each week: week #1 will be all about Free! (S1) and High High☆Speed!, week #2 will focus on Eternal Summer, Timeless Medley & Take Your Marks, and so on...

That might sound a little complicated, but it's actually pretty straightforward: the idea is simply to publish new works during the most closely corresponding week! 🙏 For example: a drawing featuring Haruka & Rin in middle school would preferably go up sometime during week #1, and a fic set during S2E12 would go into week #2.

We'll be tracking the #goforgold hashtag & you can find our AO3 collection here! 🏊

For more information about the event, please check out our dedicated Carrd:

Of course, we also have a (100% optional) prompt list to help inspire you! As usual, feel ✨free✨ to use and interpret these however you'd like! For an extra challenge, you could even try combining some of them.

SEE YOU ON JULY 1ST! 💪💪💪

P.S. We'll be announcing the prizes you can win by participating in the event soon! Stay tuned, because we're sure you'll like them. 👀

rin got the power of fire and use it to loot and destroy kingdoms and the king of iwatobi along his advisor choose a virgin orphan called haru and dress him as the prince of iwatobi and gift him to rin in order for the monster to pardon their kingdom

the story is in spanish, so no idea why I'm giving the summary in english as well

🔖 RinHaru Fic Rec

Ok, I rewatched all of Free! not long ago and finally, finally!, watched part 2 of Final Stroke this week, so I'm having A LOT of RinHaru feelings and part of controlling them (or just making them worse, really) means reading (and, in this case, rereading) a bunch of fanfics. And, unfortunately, this fic doesn't seem to get as much attention as if deserves in my point of view, so I'm putting it out there (and don't worry, there are no spoilers whatsoever):

Kiss, Interrupted by starstarfairy [T, 5.8k]

Seriously, how hard is it to get five minutes alone with his boyfriend?

I'm a sucker for established relationship fics and I am absolutely IN LOVE with this one, ok? It's basically 5k words of kissing and affection, featuring romantic and cute Rin, confident and smitten Haru and it just captures Rin and Haru's relationship exactly the way I imagine it'd be like. I got cavities reading this but it's so much more than fluff, they're still sarcastic and competitive and UGH do yourself a favor and just go read it.

🌸 RH Week Day 1: Sakura | “You once said you wanted to swim in a pool of cherry blossoms” 🌸

AHH RinHaru week is already here!! I’m so excited! I’ve been in the fandom since 2015 but this is my first time participating :)

Happy RinHaru Week!! ❤️ 💙

[poindexterwesleys]

4, 7, 8 & 16 for the 2024 in review ask game, please? 🙌 damn, the year is almost over 😭

Hey B 👋

4. I wrote for a few fandoms this year, I did BCS, Breaking Bad and Free!.

7. I did, I joined the Free! fandom in March after Muse's stream on TNP, a few weeks later I starred the show. This year, I ended up writing for RinHaru, Soumako in that show.

I also wrote for a new BCS ship after a conversation with a rp friend about Laloward. The fic was so fun to write!

8. The Lacho bear fic, it was so fun! And to make the idea come to life, meant a lot to me and to think all from a Gdocs auto correct.

16. My favorite title has to be my Enemies to lovers fic ft Lalo and Gus called Broken Shower. It's the most random and fun title.

The fic actually takes the only one bed thing but changes it to, there's only one shower.

[rinharuweek]

With RinHaru Week upon us, we'd like to take this time to wish you all a very happy holiday! No matter what (or how) you celebrate this time of year, we love coming together with you all to celebrate our shared love of RinHaru ❤💙

The 10th annual RinHaru Week officially starts tomorrow, December 25th! We can't wait to see your submissions 🌸 In the meantime, we have a little gift for you: some festive phone backgrounds! Feel free(!) to use them to get into the spirit of the event!

rinharu wrapped 2023

We almost can't believe it's already time to bring out the kadomatsu again! 2023 just raced by, didn't it…?! Let's take a moment to look back on everything Rin & Haru (and their fans!) have achieved this year.

🌸 Archive of Our Own

The Matsuoka Rin/Nanase Haruka tag on AO3 now holds 3,674 works!

That means 173 new fics were posted this year. (There might've been more than that, but it's hard to keep track of creators privatising their older fics!)

And the Night Pool's AO3 collection is up to 90 works!

.

🌸 The Night Pool

Here at TNP, we revived @sakurathon, a cherry blossom-centric event! This year, the event received 40 works by 19 lovely participants.

Since it was such a big success, we're bringing the event back on April 27th & 28th 2024.

°•. ✿ .•°

We also held the aquatic-themed Unleashed Blue, during which 20 participants created 51 (!!) otherworldly works for us.

With permission of the creators, we lovingly collected them in a 400+ page commemorative zine. You can download it on linktree

°•. ✿ .•°

Writers filled an impressive 35 prompts during our prompt meme Make a Splash! that we held in honor of Haru's birthday.

Read the fills on AO3

°•. ✿ .•°

Rin & Haru's Big Warm-Up, our monthly prompt event, received 16 new works on AO3 across the year & more on socials.

Check out our collection on AO3

We also kicked off rinharu fandom's very first bang: MEDLEY!, a mini + reverse hybrid bang that will start posting in March!

(Psst. Sign ups are still open for a few roles!)

°•. ✿ .•°

We held 3 training camps – super fun writing retreat weekends – over on our Discord. We have 4 more retreats planned for 2024!

If you'd like to join us for the next one(s), here's the info

🌸 Other Fandom Events

It's been a busy year!

In July, @starstarfairy hosted Wave Of Memory (@rinharumemories) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Free! The event ran in two wave on tumblr and Twitter and combined polls, fan memories, and all types of fanworks.

@sweetheavenfics helped us run the RH-friendly @soumako-week in September!

@ryu-outsider hosted the month-long daily prompt event Free!cember here on Tumblr. It welcomed the entire fandom. The event was promoted by eleanorenchanted and run via hashtag.

And @rinharuweek ran for a full 10 days this year in celebration of the show's anniversary! They are just wrapping up.

It also finally made it to Crunchyroll.com for the US & select others

Miyano Mamoru & Shimazaki Nobunaga fed us (+ fanartists' inspiration) well by shouting "HARU!!" and "RIIIN!!" at each other before hugging passionately during the 10th anniversary event at the Saitama Super Arena

We got tons of amazing new art; including a cover illustration for Free! The Band Live's Ever Blue performance in Yokohama, Animedia's July W-cover, Sweets Paradise's promotional art, and Kyoani's 10th anniversary event's illustration

Rin's ripped jeans (+ THE ANKLETS) in the Matsukiyo & Cocokara's Top Of Summer collaboration launched a thousand fanworks

Karatz, Bikkuriman Choco, Iwami & DECOL all bumped Rin up to 2nd place in character listings (where he belongs!!)
