#Holiday 2024

Holiday Cards are GO!

We're on the cusp of December, and the booth is almost finished, so the time for Holiday Voice Cards is NOW!

I'm trying a new method to keep better track of things because this time there are NO SLOTS. It's just... OPEN.

I have a submission form RIGHT HERE that you fill out and it is magically whisked away to yours truly to voice.

The rate is $25.00 USD PER CARD (yes, you can ask for more than one), with $5.00 USD per additional voice.

As usual, it's PayPal only - with VERY RARE exceptions. I know the rates have gone up, but this is my only source of income now, and with all the renovations and work I've been putting into the new place and booth, I'm keen on the whole "living" thing.

PLEASE use the form, and don't message me elsewhere for this. I usually have to cut this off at 20, but I'm trying to be available to everyone who wants one, and that means I need ORDER!

THE ORDER DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 10TH, 2024 AND IT STARTS... RIGHT NOW!

Happy Holidays! [BIGGER VERSION OF LINK]

Hello everyone! The sign-ups for the Holiday 2024 Phandom Gift Exchange are now open!

This event is a gift exchange where people create a phanwork for who they are assigned; you don’t know who will be creating your gift, but you can be assured that their talents will match up to your requests!

How to Sign Up

The grand majority of people participating will be gifting a phandom work to another, therefore, you all will be gifters. The person you will be gifting for will (probably) not also be the person gifting for you. On the form, you’ll choose what kind of gifts you’d like and genres/tropes/themes/etc. you enjoy. You’re also encouraged to provide some more specific prompts. Sign-ups to be a gifter will close Friday, November 29th at 11:59 PM.

The gifter sign-up form is here!

If creating something might not be your thing, but you’d still like to participate in some capacity, you might be interested in being a beta! Betas assist gifters (especially fic writers) with their gifts. If you’re interested, send an ask or contact @husbants! We’ll put you on our email list and invite you to the Discord server so that you can chat and find beta work there.

Timeline

Saturday, November 16th: Sign-ups go out

Friday, November 29th: Sign-ups close

Sunday, December 1st - Monday, December 2nd: Pairings go out

December 16th: Check-in goes out

Friday, December 20th: Check-in closes

Saturday, December 28th: Posting day!

More Details

The gifting assignments will not be random. The admins (@husbants and @ttlmt) will be matching up each gifter with a partner based on the gifter’s self-identified skills and the partner’s likes and prompts.

There will be separate under-18 and 18-and-older groups (if we have anyone under 18, that is; it hasn’t happened the past several rounds). A gifter will only be considered to gift for people within their age group.

In the past few rounds, we had a Twitter-user group. There will be no Twitter group this round. You are free to cross-upload your gift to whatever platform you like, but you will need a Tumblr account to participate.

We will be communicating through Tumblr DMs and email. There will also be a Discord (the link will be sent through email when assignments go out) and we’ll post updates and announcements there, too. Make sure your DMs are open so that we can contact you, you’re checking this blog, and you’re checking your email during the event!

When the gifters post their gifts on December 28th, they should tag both this account and their partner on the post. This blog will reblog everyone's gift posts. Our Twitter will retweet anyone who cross-posts there. There will be an email sent out with more information about posting closer to December 28th.

We’re really hoping this doesn’t happen, but if you are assigned to someone you have blocked or have any sort of issue with, contact one of the admins and we can switch around our own assignments or talk to someone signed up as a pinch-hitter and deal with it. If you know you definitely couldn’t gift for someone, you can also specify this on your sign-up form.

In Conclusion

We hope this event will spread some joy throughout the phandom! Thank you so much for your interest and it would be great if you could reblog and spread the word. If you have any questions, feel free to DM @husbants or send an ask!

Just returned from a big camping trip in a wilds! I have many photos from it, so many in fact I will have to post several posts over the next week or so to pace it all. Today we have some of the best, including a rare snake and the UK's only poisonous one at the, the adder. Various wild rabbits and a charming jackdaw. However the best photo of the summer has to be capturing a bird of prey mid swoop on it's target, I was extremely lucky to get a clear shot in this split second moment of nature. Enjoy all!

Winter Holiday Cards!

I had a lot of fun sending cards out last year, and (almost) all of them reached their destination, so let's do it again this year. Please fill out the form below if you want me to send you a card -- for any winter holiday(s) you may be celebrating or just because.

(Cards will be coming from the US, but if I can't send you one or if you're uncomfortable giving your address out, feel free to fill this out with an email address or online form of contact instead, and I'll write something out and send you a snapshot instead? I know there are some countries I have mutuals in where I can't send physical mail and I hate that I had to leave you guys out last year.)

TLDR: Current Yuletide 2024 card I'm working on. Card idea based on the tale of the Oak & Holly King. The card will be a standard 5x7" and the top illustration panel is for the oak king with a deer loosely based on Red Deer (Cervus elaphus).

The long (rambley version): I've been working on a Yuletide card for this holiday season (2024) that I've had in mind for a few years now - been fighting the anxiety/brain gremlins that love to chant 'you're not ever going to be good enough' despite having more than enough logical evidence to suggest otherwise. But brains - ya know? So just going to give it my best!

I've gotten the blocking for basic illustration done - as seen above.

I also went full ham & created a short verse piece (in iambic pentameter!) based off the tale of the pagan tale of the oak & holly king aka the establishment of the solstices. Which I'm /currently/ pleased with, but I do want to step away from it to see if there are any other tweaks that catch my eye when I look at it next - as there were some lines I wasn't quite pleased with.

Currently I've been working on the front of the card, and fleshing out the top Oak King illustration panel. The imagery is to elicit the feel of the oaken king - greens, golds, warm, solar, oak. I chose to /loosely/ base my illustration off a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) but have added elements (mainly the tail) from the White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) for floof-factor. :P Hence 'loosely based'. I've included the customary green man in oaken leaves, the sun/solar rays to signify the warmer part of the year. I've already changed the background of this from yellow to red to really warm it up & also bring more of the standard 'seasonal' feel to the piece.

My secondary pannel for the Holly King will feature a Reindeer/Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) - as I feel like many other deer hold the visual significance within western culture as they do when thinking about winter/cold seasons of the year. But I've only gotten the basics blocked in on him atm.

hi! i don’t do traditional art but i make crochet plushies. obviously i can’t do something really detailed/specific but i could do more general stuff. can i still join??

Of course! Any kind of art is allowed/appreciated and I know crocheting takes a lot of time/work. We don't facilitate irl gift giving, but if you would want to arrange that with your partner after posting day, that would be awesome, too! (Of course, that is not a requirement or anything, but just if you were wondering for something not-easily-digitized like fiber crafts.)

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and Le Male Collector's Edition 2024

Botticelli's famous Venus is transformed into a sensual, impish muse in this new gold-framed Classic Collector. To celebrate the festive season, Jean Paul Gaultier has playfully reinterpreted this famous painting. Here, her graceful curves are adorned with the iconic conical corset of the liberated woman. A sassy icon is born! Printed on see-through mesh, this reimagined masterpiece from the Italian Renaissance hugs the curves of the cult bottle with a boldness that stirs passions, and urges you to be yourself — always.

Dare to be this goddess of love and beauty who dazzles all on New Year's Eve with her timeless floral amber fragrance.

For this Le Male Collector inspired by Perugino’s famous painting of Saint Sebastian, our sailor is daringly transformed into an adventurous privateer for the Jean Paul Gaultier festivities. A timeless masculine look in a kilt and sailor top, and the epitome of a free-spirited icon who is steeped in heritage yet always peeking over the horizon.

This re-imagined painting printed on mesh hugs the torso of the cult bottle. Be as confident and fearless as the ferny amber eau de toilette that you will leave in your wake.

yeah airport crushes are cool but holiday crushes are so much more tragic. I will never utter a word to you maybe because I'm shy, maybe because we don't speak the same language. I'm a foreigner here and I will leave soon, you will go on about your life and me with mine. I do not know and probably never will know if you ever noticed me during my short stay. But I hope you have a good life, even though I wish so badly for you to be a part of mine, for you to be more than just a glimpse. I don't know your story, I just about found out your name, but I hope one day someone will make you realise how worthy you were to crush on.
