Unity News Round Up!
So at the very end of last week sep 23 Unity backed off of SOME of the new policy. So my original post about what games will be affected is no longer accurate. Link I am making this post to summarize how things are now and kill a few rumors that are still floating around. So Please reblog this one instead of the older post!
What Unity changed back
Legacy downloads will no longer be counted towards the 200,000 downloads! So older games will not have their downloads counted towards the bill. The 200,001 download to happen after jan 1st 2024 is when the fee will activate.
Cult of the Lamb is NOT being removed from store fronts jan 1st. That was a joke tweet and now it is extremely untrue. But the studio is switching engines for cult of the lamb 2.
Also this fee is not being added to the 2023 version of unity or older nor the Personal plan version. (because a lawyer finally informed the execs that's illegal) It will ONLY affect the 2024 version of Unity. So as long as your game is coded on the 2023 ver and you don't update to 2024 when it comes out your game can be published in 2024 and still not have the fee!
HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG IS SAFE! Seeing as 80 to 90% of it has been coded in the 23 version there's no reason they can't finish it in that version.
But if your game will take longer than a year to finish I still recommend switching engines now. It would not surprise me if in a few years they end service for 2023 or older versions to force people to update to the newer versions with the fee.
Here's a link to the open letter announcing the changes.
Mihoyo/Genshin's connection to all of this.
Mihoyo has not yet made a public statement about all of this. But any change to the international unity tos would not affect them. They are partnered with Unity China which is it's own separate company. Unity China would have to adopt the change for it to affect Mihoyo. Which they have not made any statement implying they would.
The reason Unity China is a separate company is because of China's strict foreign company laws. But convincing the Chinese government to allow even an off shoot of a foreign company to set up shop is hard. Nintendo is still fighting to get their foot in the door. The only reason Unity C got in was because Mihoyo backed them. Unity C owes Mihoyo it's very existence. They are in no position to make demands by changing the current contracts without warning.
There were a few rumors about Mihoyo hiring people to develop their own game engine and that is false. Mihoyo did post 5 or so job listings for folks specialized in game engine coding. But it was clearly for code optimization of their current engine Unity. If Mihoyo decided to start building their own engine from scratch it would require the hiring of at least 100 coders focusing solely on the new engine.
Genshin and Honkai will stay on the Unity Engine. When the 2024 engine comes out Mihoyo might upgrade to it. But they would have a customized contract with Unity China and it would not include the current fee plan.
What about all the other Live Service Mobile Games?
In theory their creators could keep using 2023 and not have to worry about the fees. But as I mentioned I can't see Unity keeping the 2023 version usable past 2025. All of these games will easily pass the download threshold as they are free to download and they will pass the profit cap too.
Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite, Duel Links, Master Duel, Hearthstone, Fates, League of Legends Wild Rift, and Marvel Snap are all still getting updates and won't be closing anytime soon. I don't know how important updating to the newest version of Unity is for these development teams. But in theory all their parent companies can afford the increased fees, they just won't like it.
With Mihoyo off the table Pokemon GO is the big fish Unity execs are aiming for. It gets a couple million new downloads every year and goes well past the profits cap and definitely isn't made using Unity Personal nor is Nintendo/GameFreak allowing Unity ads to play on their mobile game (those are all ways to lower the bill). Pokemon Go can't be moved to a new engine and has too many current users for Nintendo to risk dropping the app entirely to start over with pokemon go 2 on a new engine.
Nintendo has not yet made a comment, but if they do cave and pay the fees. Then there's no way the middle tier games devs can argue against it. even if the couple 1,000s in fees hurts the indie dev more. Unity can point to the couple million Nintendo is forking over for all their mobile games and say "if they can do it why can't you?"
So keep an eye out for what Nintendo does because of all this.
What about Demos, Charity bundles, or game subscription downloads?
The Updated version described in the open letter mentions the game devs being responsible for recording the number of downloads. Most likely because there isn't a legal way for Unity to truly monitor it and so their numbers would never have been trustworthy. If devs are reporting the numbers it's very easy to say downloads before a certain date are only the demos or keep track of how many charity bundles are sold and not count those downloads towards their total.
For Subscription Services, Unity has started to intentionally keep the answer vague. The first time they said developers would pay it like the legacy downloads. In an interview before the correction letter above the Unity President said the subscription hosts would pay the fee. After the correction letter he clarified that he "misspoke". AKA Microsoft and Playstation said "hell no!" that's super illegal to charge us in a contract we never signed we'll sue you to oblivion if you do that. But Unity is being unclear on if that means developers are back to footing the bill for Game Pass downloads. X
To understand exactly how vague they are being. A Reddit FAQ says developers will not be responsible for the fee of game downloads from subscription services. While the site FAQ section answers the question "Are Downloads from Subscription Services required to pay the download fee?" with "Yes" and Nothing more.
TOS Changes and How bad it really is
So the reason we don't know who is paying in some of these situations is because the final version of the 2024 licensing contract is not yet finalized. All Unity did was announce this new fee would be in the 2024 contract. That is why they were able to so quickly go back on what they said. It's just back spacing on a google doc it's not redacting and adjusting an actual legal document yet.
That means this might not be the only change they put in the new contract. This is just the only one they bothered to mention. most likely to convince shareholders they were going to be boosting profits in 2024 even if 23's Q4 is really low.
There being more unmentioned changes is a bad thing because they removed the github extension that updated you on changes made to the TOS. They argue it was because "traffic" was too low. There reasoning for removing an archive of Legal documents was click through rate being too low. They also argued that the TOS was available the entire time on their website. But please understand that is only their current TOS. So being able to compare changes from past TOS's wouldn't be possible on that page. X
The Possibility of this all being a Stunt
One of the theories going around is that they knew this would go over badly to some extent. Not this bad, but still drop the stock value a bit. Enough that the company would look cheap enough for a buy out from another company. The possible buyer being Apple's Mobile Gaming division. So far Apple has not shown interest in buying them and no solid evidence of this happening on the back end has shown up.
But it is pretty well known that the CEO sold stocks the week before this news came out. Which is called insider trading and super illegal. Unfortunately it looks like he might get away with it, with the argument that the sale of those stocks was scheduled months before this announcement was planned.
But that doesn't change the fact that he's sold over 50,000 shares this year alone. Two other officials have sold 37,000 and 68,000 of their shares this year. It's very clear they see the writing on the wall and are trying to offload stocks before the final numbers for the year reach the shareholders and the value of shares plummets. X
If they truly believed in the chance of a buy out they wouldn't be offloading so much of their stock. Because when they are bought Apple would have to pay them based on the number of shares they have at the time of the buy out. So they don't believe they'll be bought any time soon but they do believe the value of Unity stocks are only going to continue to go down.
Even without this stunt the end of Q4 report would have shown losses and caused the stock value to drop. This was most likely their last ditch attempt to show their shareholders something that implied the possibility of future profits.
That's the important thing to remember. They didn't care about how the devs reacted. They knew there were going to be complaints but they didn't care because they saw how much money they could milk if they charged every game to ever use unity for every download of that game. And they knew that would show profitability and increase the value of the company. They only back peddled when it became clear the news was affecting the stock more than anticipated.
Even then the .20 per download was never removed they just pushed back the cap and the downloads counted in hopes that would shut protests down enough for the stock value to go back up. as of Sep 29 their stock value has still not recovered.
Conclusion
Don't trust Unity. Anything they say now is just PR to try in get the stock value to go back up. They did pull back on some of the worst parts of the original agreement and older and most indie games are now safe. But Mobile F2P games and Game subscription games are still at risk of getting hit with the bill. They have also kept things vague enough to allow them to change things in the future once the dust has settled.
So I would heavily encourage those in the early stages of their games development to look for a new engine. If you have any Unity Stocks and haven't already sold them for whatever reason I'd find the time to start selling them. Unity might recover for a bit but they are not going to last long with business decisions like this and even the board members know that.
Oh wow this got so long I am so sorry. But It's all important information and I tried to link to actual articles as much as I could. As of the end of September this information is as accurate as it can be. Nothing major should come up until Unity announces the finalized TOS rewrite or Nintendo comments on the Pokemon Go fees.
PLEASE reblog this one if you reblogged my initial post about Unity Games that were at risk. It's important for people to know those games are no longer at risk of being removed from store fronts. Oh and feel free to reblog with a summarized version.
#unity#unity engine#long post#genshin impact#pokemon#nintendo#hollow knight#cult of the lamb#honkai star rail#mihoyo#microsoft#playstation#douglitheories#debating tagging all the big unity games#but i'll leave it to the ones i actually mention in the post#if anything is no longer accurate#please let me know and i'll add the correction#in brackets

WIP Update - 27 Sep 2022
I had an amazingly productive week - I touched 6 fics (2 WIPs & 4 new works) for a total of 4273 words!
I posted a new chapter of the Stucky--> Stuckony non-traditional a/b/o @psychiccatpanda and I have been collab’ing on to Ao3 - we’ve got the final chapter & an epilogue in draft as we speak!. I also posted a Stony ficlet here on Tumblr for last week’s @flashfictionfridayofficial that also filled an SRB square. I also posted two fills for the Stuckony Summer Stockings that will be revealed on Saturday!
I’m stiil at 14 active WIPs (with a couple of maybe TBCs) with my current deadlines being @suck-tember, and the October writing challenges I hope to participate in: @fictober-event, @flufftober & @whumptober. The @reforgedzine deadline is also looming large.
See below cut for the WIPs (arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc) I am working on - feel free to send me prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding any of these projects (or any other WIPs I’ve got out there) – they really help feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Stuckony Summer Stockings [due 25 Sep]
This fun gift event (run by the @stb-bingo mods) lets you share prompts for others to fill. There’s an initial anonymous reveal on October 1st, then the creator names will be revealed on the 8th.
I wrote a quickie Stuckony smutfic that came in at 587 words and a longer domestic fluff WinterIron kidfic with potential Stuckony endgame that it came in at 1374 words.
Suck-tember [ Runs thru 30 Sep]
As you might guess from the name, @suck-tember is a writing event focused on oral gratification. I read through the list of prompts and decided to try to combine a few with my bingo squares. I’ve posted 1 so far (Day 2: Swollen) and would like to try for 1 or 2 more - maybe the alternate dialog prompts? Here they are if anyone would like to throw me a pairing/plot bunny:
A. “How does it taste?” B. “Have you done this before?” C. “What are you waiting for?” D. “Take a deep breath.” E. “You look so pretty like this.” F. “Open wide.”
Reforged - A WinterIron Zine [Deadline 12 Nov]
I got accepted to submit a 1k-3.5k fic for this project, and have submitted a basic idea & completed my first checkin. Am poking at it little by little; it’s sitting at 2531 words - so over two-thirds done word-wise. Plot wise? That’s still TBD… I have very broad strokes in mind that are going to be tricky to get done in the words I have left… :: eek:: Got some good feedback from the @reforgedzine mods that I need to respond to - much appreciated!
Avengers Bingo [AvB] (Runs thru 24 Dec)
Seven fills posted (5 to Ao3) and 0 WIPs - I decided to further challenge myself on this 16-square card by pairing up each square with a unique combo of 2 original MCU Avengers, with the final square being PolyVengers. With the help of the STB Enthusiasts Discord folks - I’ve got all 16 squares planned out, at least in terms of who to write about, and half of them have some sort of idea or crossover square to go along with them. Feel free to toss other plot bunnies my way…
* A3 - Reunited - posted Making a Different Call this morning - an Endgame-compliant Natasha POV retelling of reuniting with Clint. It came in at 364 words
* B1 - Death - thanks to last week’s Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF168 Sleepless Nights], I put together Moments Where the Words Don’t Reach - a short Steve POV piece set post A:IW that also combines my SRB Bruce Banner and MWAPB Crying squares. It came in at 544 words and will be posted to Ao3 sometime in the next week or two.
* B3 - Road Trip - Bruce & Thor - Post Grandmaster, pre-Thanos space shenanigans
* B4 - Age Gap - Thor/Tony - possible crossover with TSB One Night Stand (obvious title: Thunderstruck)
* C1 - Opposites Attract - Clint/Thor - there was a fun Tumblr headcanon going around about a Bumbling Foreigner whose ignorance of local customs results in him flirting with/proposing to the prince - this seems like a perfect matchup!
* C3 - Reincarnation AU - Natasha & Tony - post-Endgame.
* D1 - Friends w/ Benefits - Clint/Steve - crossover with MWAPB Hawkeye/Clint Barton and possibly SRB - Never Have I Ever
* D2 - Romeo & Juliet AU - basic idea: Steve (jock) & Tony (geek) trying out for title roles in R&J - despite their respective FWB groups thinking it’s a terrible idea. Title: Two Polycules, Alike in Dignity
* D3 - Bed Sharing - Bruce/Natasha - AoU compliant.
Man With a Plan (Steve Rogers) Bingo [MWAPB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
Ten fills, 2 WIPs and several Vague Ideas/potential cross fills with other bingos. Prompts cheerfully accepted!
* B3 - Farmer’s Market - crossover with TSB Doing Groceries. Moodboard + ficlet?
* B4 - Powerless AU - Pivoted to combine this with my SRB FREE square for a bingo, along with the Stucky Bingo Friends to Lovers square for a “let’s get married for health insurance” ficlet - In Sickness and In Health is coming in at 1035 words and will post Friday,
* I1 - Steve is here for TFAtWS - this might go well with my BBB “Oh, hell no" square - Steve trolling Bucky & Sam by sending the old man in with his shield? (moodboard & ficlet?)
* I5 - Dogsitting - possible crossover with BBB “Run” square - Steve & Bucky dogsitting for Lucky? (moodboard + ficlet)
* N1 - School AU/Teacher AU - if I decide to continue on with Technicalities - I could fill this square :: ponders::
* N3 - Online shopping - this might be fun as a crossover with BBB Thighs Sam buys a revealing swimsuit for Bucky as a gag that gets Steve in a tizzy.
* N4 - Soulmates - got inspired by a dream to start a Stucky fantasy AU (magician!Steve/ensorcelled!Bucky) that @bill-longbow is collaborating on with me. This will also fill my Stucky Bingo AU: Supernatural square. We’re currently sitting at 1640 words (984-ish of which are mine). Current Last Line: "My men will accompany you back to Brookline in the morning.”
* G4 - Canon Divergence post CA:TWS - possible crossover with BBB Kill List – Bucky wreaking havoc on Hydra bases and Steve & Sam catch up with him
* G5 - Friends to Lovers - might use this for Chapter 3 of Mutual Pinning
* O1 - Crying - see AvB Death square above
* O2 - Sex Pollen - Teenage Groot pollen = aphrodisiac hi-jinks. Quill & Gamora warn the couple (stucky)/throuple (Stuckony) ahead of time, so no dub-con.

* I2 - Mistaken Identity - crossover with TSB K5 - Protectiveness - “The Mechanic, The Soldier & The Artist” - mob/assassin AU with a Mr. & Mrs. Smith twist?
* I4 - Canon: Avengers Academy - will probably do Stuffed Marvels sketches of Tony and Winter, as I know very little about the game/canon.
* I5 - Matchmaker Bots - possible crossover with TSB Occupational Hazard
* N2 - Blanket - Thanks to the July BBB Discord party , I have an idea for combining this with my TSB AU: College square and BBB Funeral square.
* G3 - “This might as well happen.” Going to see if I can squish this into a Stucky –> Stuckony spur-of-the-moment threesome fic inspired by a series of posts with @needyoucap over on the STB Enthusiasts Discord server that in turn led to their WIP Steve & Bucky’s Sexy Bucket List. My version (alternating POV) is sitting at 1049 words and will also fill my TSB square Hindsight.
* O1 - Royalty - crossover with TSB - IronWidow & BBB AU: Arranged Marriage - pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up?
* O6 - AU: Biker - Grease 2 fusion anyone? 😁 I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and took notes - It’s not gonna be a faithful adaptation, but hopefully fun - tho am having a tough time deciding who is Michael (probably Bucky, tho a case could be made for Tony)
Hero Hardships Bingo [HHB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
One fill so far with a few Vague Ideas …
* I3 - Unimaginable Grief – I‘m thinking an post-Endgame Rhodey POV would work nicely here…

* U2 - AU: Roommate - Still wanting to use the Meet Ugly prompt: 02. I bought a house three months ago but I’m finally moving in and discover you’ve been squatting because you’re homeless – probably WinterHawk with recovering!Bucky being the squatter in Clint’s apartment building.

* K1 - Thighs - combined this with with SRB Game Night and HHB Hiding Discomfort for a 3 Prompts --> Summary game that I may turn into a BarberShop Quartet (Steve/Bucky/Natasha/Sam) ficlet. (tho the HHB prompt will probably get saved for Whumptober, if I participate)
* K2 - Comics - sew the Stuffed Marvel Classic Comics Bucky Barnes I drew up for Bucky’s birthday.
* K3 - KINK: Edging - crossing over with TSB KINK: Orgasm Denial/Edging & I finally got a start on the WinterIron PWP for this (Bucky POV with toy play and Tony as a power bottom) Hanging by a Moment is sitting at 96 words at the moment.

* Y3 - “Run” - see MWAP I5 - Dogsitting above.
* Y4 - KINK: Seduction Mission - crossover with SBB - B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.”

* R1 - Tony’s Poor Life Choices - @somesortofitalianroast had the excellent idea to turn this on its head - now that he’s with [partner of your choice] - he’s making fewer poor life choices?
* R2 - IronWidow - next chapter of Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion ?
* R3 - Dancing - This will fill Chapter 7 of Flawed Hypothesis -- it’s in more-or-less final draft form at 1061 words and will finish the fic, with an Epilogue coming in at 702 words with an accompanying (and amazing!) graphic created by my lovely and talented collaborator, @psychiccatpanda!!
* R4 - Occupational Hazard - see SBB I5 - Matchmaker Bots
* K1 - Endgame Fix-It - had a semi-cracky idea for this over the weekend and pounded out a ficlet where Tony does a bit of solo time-traveling. Rhodey Had a Point is coming in at 511 words and will get posted sometime next month.
* K2 - Secret Admirer - carried this over from last round so I could try my hand a remix of Seeds of Love (WinterIron hanahaki fic by the super-talented @hddnone). Potential title: Wraps Around My Heart, Refusing to Unwind
* K3 - KINK: Orgasm Denial/Edging - see BBB KINK: Edging
* K4 - Hindsight - see SBB “This might as well happen”

I didn’t quite get it done before the party closed, but Tested to the Breaking Point - a Rhodey POV of the panic attack scene from IM3 - is coming in at 713 words and will get added to my Scenes from a Friendship IronBros series before the next TSB Discord party.
Stucky Bingo Round Four [SB_R4] (Ends 31 May 2023
Two fills and two WIPs with a couple of other vague ides.
* I5 - Friends to Lovers - see MWAPB Powerless AU above.
* O4 - AU: Supernatural - see MWAPB Soulmates above.
I also adopted the Writing Format: Remix one of your fics square – am thinking of taking one of my Stony or WinterIron No Powers fics and adapting it to a Stucky pairing – if you have any requests - hit me up!
WinterIron - No Powers AU – Stony No Powers AU
————
On other creative fronts: I have a Comics Bucky Stuffed With Character figure in progress. Am also gearing up for a classic monster/horror con in October and a superhero con in March - so am focused on building up stock for both. Plus I have to make space for Marvel Trumps Hate - the preview week starts 16 Oct!
if you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for the holiday season, check out Stuffed With Character over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 80!). They’re mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design requests for any fandom!

New Inktober for 2019!
Once again, I was asked to create a new list of art prompts for October this year! These creations from you guys are ALWAYS so amazing, so I’m excited to bring you a new list! I got so many suggestions from my friends! You can use #TSinktober if you’d like to share your creations!
Remember: Even if we’re on Day 31, and you wanna post art based off the Day 1 prompt, you DEFINITELY can! There is no lateness for posting art, because it’s all entirely for fun! Hope you enjoy!!
Day 1: In a twist from the past years’ Day 1 prompts, I want to see you take a traditional Halloween monster or character, and draw what they look like Sep. 30th, and then their traditional look when it’s October 1st! Maybe they don’t get spoopy until October 1st haha.
Day 2: Turn fall weather into a character! Could be the human embodiment of Fall, or the spirit responsible for Fall occurring, or something else!
Day 3: Turn a famous painting into a spoopy Halloween version!
Day 4: Draw a classic still life of items belonging to your favorite character. Let us guess who the items belong to!
Day 5: Draw your best friend or yourself (or both) GOIN GHOST. Ya know, that good ole Danny Phantom transformation!
Day 6: A Pokémon hanging out with (or running from) the zombified version of itself
Day 7: Choose two months, personify them, then draw what their first date would look like
Day 8: Sanders Sides characters on their dream vacations!
Day 9: A business that a Halloween monster or character would thrive on if they ran it!
Day 10: Take any popular author, imagine if they were a superhero, and draw what their comic book cover would look like!
Day 11: Portray any Disney princess as the “monster/scary thing” from a horror movie such as The Conjuring, The Nun, etc., either depicting them in a scene from the movie or the poster for the movie!
Day 12: Take any two coffee flavors, like Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint, and draw a battle between them, Mortal Kombat style (brew-tality lol)
Day 13: Take any Avenger from the MCU, and reimagine them as a Pokemon Gym Master! What would their Pokemon team look like?
Day 14: Reimagine a Sanders Sides, Cartoon Therapy, or other original character from our content as a kind of humanoid piece of candy or sweet treat!
Day 15: I really enjoyed this prompt from last year, so this year, take any Disney Villain, and use them as the inspiration for a Met Gala outfit! NO DALMATIAN PUPPY FUR ALLOWED, ALL OF YOU CRUELLA FANS.
Day 16: Take any traditional Halloween monster/character or any horror movie villain and make… them… CUTE. Now whether that’s adorably cuddly cute or va-va-voom cute is completely up to you! - Erin
Day 17: Take your fave character or OC and reimagine Steampunk versions of them!
Day 18: Take your fave food and create a cartoon character based off of it! It can have its own style, be stylized after an existing cartoon, whatever you wish!
Day 19: Take a quote from a book, song, or movie that particularly inspired you, and make it the main centerpiece of this day’s piece of art! Wherever you’d want to take the art from there is up to you!
Day 20: Here’s a cool challenge for ya! You can draw any Halloween-themed picture you want, BUT It’s all in ONE pen stroke. You can’t take your drawing utensil off the paper!
Day 21: What if anyone else from Halloweentown, other than Jack Skellington, had discovered and fell in love with Christmastown? Would anyone else have tried to dress up as Santa? Would they hatch another plan entirely??
Day 22: Back due to demand, take your fave character(s) from two different animated tv shows/anime/movie and depict them in each other’s animation style! An animation swap, if you will!
Day 23: Ever watch a movie or show and wish it had ended a different way? This is your chance to correct the plots to conclude the way YOU wanted it concluded! Oh boy, this may end up getting controversial lol
Day 24: We all know traditional Halloween monsters... but create what you think the Halloween monsters of today or the FUTURE would be!!
Day 25: This one is purely selfish because I’m still so in love with the past creations. Take ANY character of your choice from ANY piece of media and draw them in the style of a Tim Burton illustration!
Day 26: Speaking of classics, gotta include this one cause it’s tradition! Draw your OTP in Halloween costumes that are designed to go together!!
Day 27: Take any dramatic scene from any scary or Halloween-y movie... and meme it.
Day 28: How to Train Your [Insert Monster/Demon/Halloween-y creature here]
Day 29: This one is SUPER open-ended, but I’m into that. Take any book, turn to the 13th page (so the book has to be at least 13 pages lol) and go to the 13th word on that page (if it’s an article like “a” or “the”, just go to the next adjacent noun/verb/adjective/adverb) and use it as the inspiration for a one-worded scary movie/book. Draw that poster or book cover!
Day 30: Slightly inspired by the eerie vibe one can sometimes get from Spinel (SU), Betty Boop cartoons, etc. take any character, Halloween-y creature or otherwise from any of your fave piece of media, and depict them in the classic rubberhose/ Max Fleischer-inspired art style!!
Day 31: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Do you remember a specific Halloween that was especially memorable for you?? It might have been because of the friends you spent it with, or a memorable moment that happened, or because of a costume you were particularly fond of. Or maybe there were a series of Halloweens that were dear to you because of a tradition you did with your family (and maybe still do!). Depict that moment along with an explanation! If you just wanna write about it, that’s fine too!
As always, you guys have been absolutely blowing me away with your incredible creations!! I love this time of year and seeing what your talents produce!! Thank you for all the amazing works and have a WONDERFUL October!!!
Thank you to all my friends whose suggestions helped to make this list!
Dahlia, AJ, Tammy, Ellen, Adri, Fariha, Brei, Rafaela, Jack, Esteban

MCC 18 SEP 21
Yellow Yacks and Cyan Coyotes with a little Aqua Axolotls. Part 1/1
The only reason I didn’t forget MCC was because I got the notification for Eret.
I have Wilbur on my TV. I’m going to watch Eret on my phone. And I’ll have Tommy on my iPad probably.
Wilbur throwing a tantrum and saying he won’t play.
I feel like a true Gen Z member with my multiple screens of minecraft.
I’m only just getting the Wilbur notification.
I love watching everyone run around before MCC and scale things.
Griefing the thumbnail. 😂
Wilbur just causes problems on purpose when it comes to group photos doesn’t he.
He just loves finding ways to cause problems.
Wilbur got a coconut!?!
I didn’t mean to type the question mark originally. But I am a bit confused.
Wilbur just stocking up on coconuts
True friendship is a quote book. I have several.
Baby banana boo.
Wait. I heard the word tumblr
Scott what did you do with tumblr?
I’m scared. Only Eret permitted on tumblr.
I remember watching hole in the wall as a tv show as a kid.
Wilbur’s glasses that don’t do anything.
There are September discounts for subbing?
Neato.
The conversations in my work discord are something else.
Not surprised that Wilbur is going for top swearer of MCC
But my residents are going to walk by my door and judge me.
Alright I apparently wasn’t signed in to twitch on my iPad and it took me entirely too long to learn to remember it.
Tommy looks like he’s really concentrating. Oh wait never mind.
Wow the yaks are in first currently. I might be cheering for a winning team for once.
Alright I have my iPad split screen between Tommy and the MCC website.
Everyone break the elevator!
In the game, not in the building I work. I don’t want that paperwork.
Stick together and place many block.
I’ve been in Wilburs position. “I’ll be captain” “yeah let’s let Wilbur be captain”
Not a single POV I have up is synced. But that’s life.
Oh not starting out strong.
Just keep going. Ignore the falling people just like ranboo last time.
We are at the absolute bottom for this game.
Where’s a bag of popcorn or something?
“Stay down there. That’s how I won that one time” -Ranboo
Down they go.
They didn’t have anywhere to run.
Second round!
Oh that wasn’t their best idea. It was fun seeing Erets POV of that.
Go Teams.
Turning down the volume on yellow yacks to listen to aqua axolotls.
Aqua please. You have so much potential.
Nope.
Switching audio again.
Yellow back at the bottom.
Ranboo ranboo ranboo ranboo
Down he goes. 😂 the timing of that was funny.
Please. Don’t die
Wilbur. Scott. Please.
Scott uncovering the creeper.
Their plan is literally just sit and be.
To be fair that’s my plan for everything I do.
Oh cobwebs are smart.
I’m eating very salty Chick-fil-A chips and need water.
We are still doing ok. Wow.
Cobwebs man. The real MVP.
They are still in 10th
COBWEBS!!! And Wilbur standing on the edge of a block.
THEY WON THAT?!?!!!!
It moved them from last to eight. But still. Wow.
Holy cow. How did that happen.
I always forget what the acronym game is.
Oh yeah. Wilbur snuck and found this. I remember.
Go team!
Oh the website updates faster than the game. But we’re starting off decent.
I’m going to have to take back that statement aren’t I?
Go go go go
Fly fly fly fly
Build build build build
Go Wilbur!
Rafter strat.
Wilbur found the rafters and everyone else loved it.
Blocking his own jump. 😂
I really should do the inside joke chair emoji thing for laughing. But I don’t care.
Tiktok is nice. Depends on the side you are on, but it’s nice.
We are doing halfway decent. I’m proud of us.
Wilbur is struggling and I think he might cry.
Not bad. I don’t think.
Power sweater.
This game in MCC has rainbow road vibes
I’ll have to make that it’s own post since I feel that’ll be popular ish.
Holy cow we hit first on the website!! How?
Ranboo sweet one.
They said no peaking to Wilbur.
Wilbur making them block stuff off and the like is so funny.
Run yaks run!
I missed the moment Wilbur just mentioned. Oh well I’m sure I’ll see the clip.
First last first.
Hey 4th overall. Look at em.
Wilbur switching to full screen to show us his M&Ms.
Let me balance my water bottle on the bedpost above my head. No way this could possibly go wrong in multiple ways.
Double coins. Gorgeous.
Chickens are being sniped.
What’s going to work? TEAM WORK!
I don’t think I have ever watched a game of grid runners in my life?
Alright game should start any second because it started on the website.
Alright stream is delayed about 13 seconds.
Go teams go!
Wilbur just sniping targets.
We’re doing ok.
All this dirt.
Go go go
We’re completing things first.
Cake!
Wilbur got in!
Now they eat
Oh but they are falling.
Oh wow the painting is complicated. My friends and I would fail to communicate so fast.
Is this lever thing just find the button but complicated?
Go you got the levers!
Items grab!
My friends and I would seriously struggle unless I was allowed the lead. But I would lead us off a cliff.
Everyone get ready to go in as soon as the cake is done.
Exit! You guys are so close! Please!
Woohoo!
Go Ranboo! Go Scott!
Come on guys. Come on. Good communication.
I think I like watching Wilbur with MCC because he had a similar strategy to what I would do.
Wilbur why did you try to act cool!!!
They keep saying they are miles ahead but not according to that scoreboard.
You placed 3rd. Good job y’all.
I’m excited for bonuses.
They have another minute until the others run out of time.
Good soup.
Oh wow. Ranboo and Wilbur really are always totgehe.
We are doing well. I see the board changing on the website so much.
Where will they land.
Looks like 2nd or 3rd
Fourth overall. Not bad.
Lap time is logical.
Audience vote?
Look at me redownloading twitter.
Can you not see how others have voted on twitter?
Oh there it is. It only showed mine for a sec there.
Battle box looks close. I voted ace race.
Oh it all looks close right now.
Long break my beloved.
I don’t have time to start my laundry but still. My beloved.
Game 5/8 so MCC won’t be too much longer.
I look up and Wilbur is shaking his ass at George. I’m not surprised.
Phil and Sneeg judging Wilbur.
Wilbur twerking on Phil and Sneeg joining.
Poor Phil.
Wilbur just having visited so many random places with so many random words just gathered.
Oh wow parkour tag is low. But so is sands.
Oh wow it was a tie. Between Sands and Parkour
“Wilbur is Sand Daddy” -Scott and then all the agreement noises.
Sands of Time is my favorite practical game
Maybe because Wilbur is really good at it. And Ranboo had been trained by him.
This is just good.
I swear Sand daddy is going to kill me during this.
I am just going to pass away.
My stream delay though.
Wilbur who says he stays very quiet as he makes circus music noises.
Minecraft Rhinos. Because I can’t spell their real name.
I don’t quite understand sand of time. But I like watching. It’s like college football.
I am missing the only college football game I care about for MCC.
Go Team.
No blue yet.
All the mobs.
“You better not die” sung to the tune of Santa clause is coming yo town. -Wilbur
Keep it up guys.
Oh no. They lost the key.
Oh good they found the key.
You can tell Wilbur had a musicians brain. He just hears something vaguely lyrical and starts singing a song.
Gotta promote your band whenever you can I guess.
I listened to the last Ep for like an hour and a half yesterday while I went about my day.
I wonder how we’re doing?
Only a few seconds.
I could warm a heating pad in the amount fo time they have left.
Ranboo doing these puzzles so amazingly.
Quit caring about what others think. Just do your thing.
I swear the sand daddy thing.
I love the cage of shame for not tracking your sand.
I zoned out. Red cyan orange?
We’re almost 15 minutes into sands.
I want to play Minecraft on my iPad right now.
Wait the website updated. We were 6th?
Yikes. I thought they did better.
3rd overall though!
Wait what was that about most influential improv thingy? Good for them.
Build mart!
Oh Ace Race. Wilbur calling Ace Race his girlfriend now.
I want to see the enemies to lovers fan fictions of Ace race and Wilbur.
Oh wait I can do that. I can verbally tell one like I have others in the past.
I’m excited to watch this.
Wilbur flirt with the race.
I’m not mentally prepared for this.
Everyone just joined because they don’t want to miss Wilbur x Ace Race.
Oh no. He’s not doing so well.
Oh Wilbur is giving us more.
Complicated history…
Whispering to Ace Race and Solidarity.
You’ve got it Wilbur.
Keep on talking. Keep your brain busy while you play.
Mommmm Wilbur is flirting with Ace Race again!
He’s whispering though so I can’t quite hear it and will have to find a clip channel that added subtitles.
Oh teams are changing on the website.
“What are you doing in my women Philza?” -Wilbur
“I will end your bloodline which is canonically also me.” -Wilbur
I can not track all the quotes from this. That’s beyond my abilities.
Wilbur did halfway decent, but it still uncomfortable.
Ace Race is a person now. Also the fact that Wilbur compliments Ace Race so much.
Sally v. Ace Race.
I want to find that fanart now.
Scott honey. Confirmed cannon is everyone fancies the fish.
4th. Not bad.
We’re still talking Ace Race x Wilbur
Build mart! My dearest buildmart!
I miss them sliding around in the sleds.
Grab da flowers!
We’re in 1st at the minute.
Come on yaks!
No coyotes!
Hurry hurry hurry.
Work discord going it’s thing again.
Oh we’re dropping fast.
Move the redstone! Thank you
Alright back on top. Keep it up.
Nevermind.
I love the way the build spaces for the different teams work.
Who is the person on the build?
Oh first again? Nevermind.
Oh we popped up to second. We’re so behind. Come on.
Duck!
Good soup energy. Now all I can think is the bi wide energy song.
Time is running out.
Yeah we aren’t catching up to first. Just hold second.
Where is granite?
Game over.
Third overall now. Not bad. Last game time they can possibly pull it into dodge bolt.
I need to go get a picture with the President of the university for a game with my work.
Good Soup.
I’m sitting here making popcat noises while waiting.
Game time! Go team! Survive!
Wait where did the steamer go? I wasn’t paying attention.
He’s back.
He’s swearing for his points on the swearing list.
Is pee a soup? No. I don’t think it’s think enough under normal circumstances.
Karl is apparently swearing according to Twitter. Good for him. He deserves to swear some as a treat.
Everyone running and leaving shubble.
Oh good they are all together.
Just keep running.
4th so far.
Cars. Beep beep.
Ranboo breath child.
Calling Wilbur like some kind of golden retriever.
Bow boy
Scott is leader now. Because otherwise they are arguing.
We are playing the don’t die strategy.
Come on team.
Did I put my cut in this post? I did.
Ranboo having stolen the airdrop. And he has a thing!
Oh the boarder is right behind them.
They are fighting Dream?
Nice Will.
We’re in fourth.
Boarder is right there.
Sapnap? Nope.
Pink attack and they book it.
Oh no. There goes Wilbur.
Is it just Scott?
Scott vs the world.
Just Organe and pink. They came third.
GO ORANGE!
Please. Please let us do it.
Overall third. Pink overtook yellow.
Sadness.
Ranboo has achieved: Found Hated Game
Ranboo has been hit by Survival games so many times now.
If they had just lasted a tiny bit longer they would have come second.
Cheering Orange I suppose.
I have no skill at picking winner POVs.
I have 3 teams I was at least kinda watching. And none of them are in dodgebolt.
Gosh can hear Ranboo tweaking.
Wow. Yellow yaks just as a team twerking.
What is Wilbur chewing on? Wilbur don’t chew on things that probably aren’t meant to be chewed on.
I can hear the band outside of my window. I think my campuses football game is starting.
The drum line practiced outside my window all the beginning of the semester so it’s fun seeing them march to the stadium.
Oh and there are the cheerleaders.
Oh right I was watching MCC! Who’s winning?
Come on Orange. So close.
Wait I looked out my window. Why is the band walking back to where they were?
Along the sidewalk?
I thought it was game time for a minute.
Oh dodgebolt could go either way.
Distracted by Jesus.
Grian! You got this!
Nice Grian.
Oh Grian has a chance!
Oh!
Oh!
It’s so close!
Ooo ooo!
I’m so invested.
I SEE THE CONFETTI IN THE SITE! But I don’t want to miss the shot.
Come on Grian.
I know you do it. But you’ve got this
YESSSSS
Woo hoo!!
That was a good MCC. Now to do the chores and homework I originally planned to do today.
That was a nice stream.
Scott is separating Ranboo and Wilbur?
Please. Scott.
Don’t separate the beings.
You know. Twitter needs to politely bully Scott into keeping Ranboo and Will together.
Oop and that’s Wilbur done. That was fun.
See y’all next time!

Belated Fic Rec Event post!
Soooo... some of you may know that I was unfortunately not able to post my fic recs for the KC Fic Rec Event hosted by @klaroline-events due to my laptop dying and me needing to order a replacement battery/charging cord. So here are the fic recs for days 2-6! Lots of good fics ;)
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 2 Sep 1st: All Human!AU Title: Colored You In (Links: FFN | AO3) Author: @lalainajanes (Links: FFN | AO3) Summary: AH-AU. Rebekah asks a favor that turns out to be kind of life changing (life ruining?) for Caroline. Living with a temporarily broke Kol is one thing. A really, really annoying thing. And then Klaus is suddenly always around, planted on her couch, drinking her wine and adding snarky commentary which Caroline DOES NOT appreciate. Mikaelson's and boundaries apparently did not mix. Warnings: none Status: Complete
Why you should read it: This has everything I love in a Klaroline fic: Caroline friendship with Rebekah and Enzo, Caroline/Kol bonding, Mikaelson sibling drama... and of course, Klaus secretly being trash for Caroline. It’s hilariously entertaining, especially when Caroline suspects SOMETHING is up and Kol keeps teasing her about it because he KNOWS, and Rebekah DOESN’T know what’s happening until she does, and the Mikaelson sibling dynamic is so entertaining and YOU WLL LOVE IT. I mean, in the first chapter, Rebekah bribes Caroline into letting Kol stay with her. That alone should set the tone for the entir story for you. Seriously, just read it already!
A favorite scene:
The box said 'Louboutin' so Caroline was on guard. When Rebekah had called yesterday and asked Caroline to meet her for drinks Caroline had agreed immediately. Work was hectic, she had fundraiser to oversee tomorrow, so a martini (or three) to wind down sounded like a good idea.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, or so the saying went.
"Do you need a kidney, or something? Because I love you, Bex. But I love gin too."
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 3 Sep 2nd: Angst Title: all you need to grow inside my spine (Links: FFN | AO3) Author: @highgaarden (Links: FFN | AO3) Summary: Klaus watches, satisfied, and in that moment she realizes something terrible: that she is grateful for the blood in her mouth. The sooner they break this bond the better. / or, Klaus and Caroline try to bargain their way out of their soulmate bond, but discover that dealing with magic isn't quite as easy or liberating as snapping a neck. ONESHOT. Warnings: none Status: Complete
Why you should read it: You should read this for the writing alone. The lines just TUG at your very soul and if you didn’t know words could hurt, this does it. This story is a variation on the soulmates AU where Klaus and Caroline are NOT delighted by what they learn, and so they agree to try to break this bond. What I like about this is that it’s a story where, while Klaus may be intrigued by Caroline, he still chooses power over his soulmate. Or does he?
A favorite scene:
“I tried, so hard, to be good.” Caroline closes her eyes to the blood dripping down her forehead. “So freakin’ hard. I was on the bunny diet. I thought if I ever showed you who I was, my soulmate would run for the hills.”
“Aren’t you glad then that it’s me?”
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 4 Sep 3rd: Fluff Title: The Sound of Settling (Link: AO3) Author: @galvanizedfriend / Yokan (Link: AO3) Summary: Klaus hates his job at Mikaelson & Sons. He hates wearing a suit. He also hates his brothers constantly butting into his life. Everything will be better once he gets his much desired transfer to the New York branch. Caroline Forbes is the owner of Mystic Café, and when Klaus accidentally wanders into her coffee shop, his whole perspective changes. [AH/Coffee Shop!AU where Klaus is a lawyer. Lots of Mikaelsons and some Carenzo friendship.] Warnings: none Status: Complete
Why you should read it: I love this story so much! It’s a variation of the coffee shop meet cute, and I love how @galvanizedfriend can take a simple setting like a coffee shop and making something beautiful out of it!!! All Klaus wants in life is to get away from his family, so he works himself to the bone in hopes of getting a transfer. One day he comes across Caroline’s coffee shop as he’s looking for his next coffee fix, but discovers reasons to keep coming back... and the best part about all this? This beautifully written story reminds us that sometimes, what we think we want is not what we truly want.
A favorite scene:
"Well, you haven't run for the hills. I think you turned out pretty ok, if you ask me." Caroline pushes up her seat and winks at him. "Duty calls."
Klaus is left in a state of absolute disbelief as she walks back to the counter. Thirty-two years of age and this might be the first time anyone claims he's turned out ok. His ex-girlfriend with a degree to validate her opinion would probably have some points to make.
He doesn't know if Caroline is completely crazy or if she genuinely sees something no other person ever did. Klaus is almost afraid of believing the latter.
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 5 Sep 4th: Smut Title: Battle Lines (Links: FFN | AO3) Author: Jinxed-Wood (Links: FFN | AO3) Summary: Battle Lines [Dark Season 2 AU ] The little cheerleader had seemed the perfect candidate for Klaus's purposes, an outlier of the herd if you will, but as he tried to bend her to his will, it quickly became apparent she was not the pushover she had first appeared to be... Warnings: character deaths, dubious(?) consent, mentions of sexual assault and trauma Status: Incomplete
Why you should read it: This is a dark season 2 AU where morality is very, very gray. Klaus decides to use Caroline to spy on her friends. Caroline, on the other hand, is used to being underestimated, and she takes advantage of it to ensure her survival. In an interesting turn of events, Klaus’ actions result in Caroline getting what she deserves, which is better. However, since this fic is incomplete, I have no idea how it’s going to end! Also, tons and tons of smutty goodness!
A favorite scene:
He collapsed on top of her and waited for their thrum of their hearts to ease, stroking her hair absently as his mind turned over the future. Truth be told, Caroline's usefulness as a spy had been somewhat eroded as a result of his earlier than planned return to Mystic Falls, but he found her...diverting, and that was not a phrase he used for a lot of people. Perhaps he could convince her to make a more permanent arrangement?
But that meant he would have to to seduce her into his life as well as his bed, and what did he have to offer that Caroline Forbes would want?
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 6 Sep 5th: Supernatural!AU (undine!Caroline and Originals!Mikaelsons) Title: Drown Me in Ash, Burn Me in Salt (links: FFN | AO3) Author: @cupcakemolotov (links: FFN | AO3) Summary: Cursed with legs by a witch as the gods were unmade, Caroline is a relic of ancient times. Bored and lonely, her interest is peaked by the newest predators in the world - vampires. And in particular, Klaus Mikaelson, with his monsters teeth and the wolf caged in his blood. Warnings: some blood and gore, nothing explicit Status: Complete
Why you should read it: If you’re looking for powerful Caroline and the Mikaelsons, this is it! This is a rather lengthy 14k-word one-shot, and one that I find myself turning to time and time again. @cupcakemolotov does an incredible job building worlds upon worlds, and this is no exception. I love that in this world, Caroline is older than the Mikaelsons (but not an Original), an ancient creature who finds amusement in this dysfunctional family and keeps them around because she can. I love her interactions with the Mikaelson siblings, of the way she seamlessly moves through the world on her own terms and no one else’s.
A favorite scene:
“So, you’re more of a siren?” Klaus asked thoughtfully, head tilting as he faced her with no fear.
Caroline sighed and disentangled herself from the chains and corpse. “What is it with humans and naming things?”
“Power,” Klaus murmured as she reached for his locks. “Dominion does not come easily, against the unnamed night terrors. Why are you helping us?”
“I’m bored,” Caroline told him, switching to Rebekah’s chains. “Your little vampire creations are amusing, even if you taste like the grave.”
Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 7 Sep 6th: Free for all! Title: A Pregnant Pause (Links: FFN | AO3) Author: @supremeuppityone (Links: FFN | AO3) Summary: Klaroline supernatural AU multi-chap. Pregnant and alone, Caroline meets a woman named Rebekah, and an unexpected friendship is formed. But then, her ridiculously attractive asshat of a brother starts inserting himself into their lives, causing all kinds of trouble. Despite being distracted by those dimples, she notices something seems a bit off about the Mikaelsons... Warnings: discussions on abortion Status: Incomplete
Why you should read it: It should go without saying that this is one of my FAVORITE Klaroline fics of all time. This features a clueless and pregnant human Caroline who finds herself entangled with the MIkaelson family. I absolutely adore the Caroline/Rebekah friendship that forms, the way Caroline wins over each of the Mikaelson siblings, and the way they find themselves drawn to her in turn. This story makes me laugh and cry, and I appreciate @supremeuppityone’s writing SO MUCH.
A favorite scene:
Clearing her throat, she told Rebekah, “You’ll figure it out. And I’ll help.”
She favored Caroline with a weak smile. “I thought I was supposed to be helping you.”
“So, we’ll help each other then.” Caroline laid back against one of the fluffy pillows on the chaise, a forearm over her eyes as she let out a soft groan.
So here we go! One epic belated post!

Hi! I didn't get to see Thomas's inktober list 😢 would you happen to have it saved?
yup
New Inktober for 2019! Once again, I was asked to create a new list of art prompts for October this year! These creations from you guys are ALWAYS so amazing, so I’m excited to bring you a new list! I got so many suggestions from my friends! You can use #TSinktober if you’d like to share your creations! Remember: Even if we’re on Day 31, and you wanna post art based off the Day 1 prompt, you DEFINITELY can! There is no lateness for posting art, because it’s all entirely for fun! Hope you enjoy!! (I’ll be adding the other days soon!) Day 1: In a twist from the past years’ Day 1 prompts, I want to see you take a traditional Halloween monster or character, and draw what they look like Sep. 30th, and then their traditional look when it’s October 1st! Maybe they don’t get spoopy until October 1st haha. Day 2: Turn fall weather into a character! Could be the human embodiment of Fall, or the spirit responsible for Fall occurring, or something else! Day 3: Turn a famous painting into a spoopy Halloween version! Day 4: Draw a classic still life of items belonging to your favorite character. Let us guess who the items belong to! Day 5: Draw your best friend or yourself (or both) GOIN GHOST. Ya know, that good ole Danny Phantom transformation! Day 6: A Pokémon hanging out with (or running from) the zombified version of itself Day 7: Choose two months, personify them, then draw what their first date would look like Day 8: Sanders Sides characters on their dream vacations! Day 9: A business that a Halloween monster or character would thrive on if they ran it! Day 10: Take any popular author, imagine if they were a superhero, and draw what their comic book cover would look like! Day 11: Portray any Disney princess as the “monster/scary thing” from a horror movie such as The Conjuring, The Nun, etc., either depicting them in a scene from the movie or the poster for the movie! Day 12: Take any two coffee flavors, like Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint, and draw a battle between them, Mortal Kombat style (brew-tality lol) Day 13: Take any Avenger from the MCU, and reimagine them as a Pokemon Gym Master! What would their Pokemon team look like? Day 14: Reimagine a Sanders Sides, Cartoon Therapy, or other original character from our content as a kind of humanoid piece of candy or sweet treat! Day 15: I really enjoyed this prompt from last year, so this year, take any Disney Villain, and use them as the inspiration for a Met Gala outfit! NO DALMATIAN PUPPY FUR ALLOWED, ALL OF YOU CRUELLA FANS. Day 16: Take any traditional Halloween monster/character or any horror movie villain and make… them… CUTE. Now whether that’s adorably cuddly cute or va-va-voom cute is completely up to you! - Erin
Day 17: Take your fave character or OC and reimagine Steampunk versions of them!
Day 18: Take your fave food and create a cartoon character based off of it! It can have its own style, be stylized after an existing cartoon, whatever you wish!
Day 19: Take a quote from a book, song, or movie that particularly inspired you, and make it the main centerpiece of this day’s piece of art! Wherever you’d want to take the art from there is up to you!
Day 20: Here’s a cool challenge for ya! You can draw any Halloween-themed picture you want, BUT It’s all in ONE pen stroke. You can’t take your drawing utensil off the paper!
Day 21: What if anyone else from Halloweentown, other than Jack Skellington, had discovered and fell in love with Christmastown? Would anyone else have tried to dress up as Santa? Would they hatch another plan entirely??
That’s all he has so far

I feels like writing something, since I rarely write things these days and I feels like my English will go down the drain soon, if I’m not writing.
Since I impulsively bought a plane ticket again, it’s time for me to summarize my other two trips I had this year as like a build-up for my upcoming new adventure the Taiwan trip in November.
This first post is about my side trip from business trip...I guess
I don’t know how I usually start my traveling post, I guess I start with a disclaimer that this post is not informative at all, just me writing about my trip for future me to reminisce about it.
It has been 2 years since I last visit Mikawa Anjo, the last time was for internship purpose, (which I happened to not write about the experience :/) I was greeted by the familiar feelings, I missed this place. I finally semi-ly made it back. I worked hard in this company for the past 1 year and I feels like it paid off a little.
This trip was my 6th time in Japan and took 14 days (Aug, 18th- Sep, 1st). Since this is a business trip, I’m able to ride Thai Airways, finally something that not low-cost and I’m able to load my luggage lol. The flight is TG644, I arrived at Japan around 8am, I decided to stop by my hotel for luggage storage, then go on an adventure to Okazaki Castle.
Before Okazaki Castle, I visited about 6 Japanese castles, so I know what I should expected from the castle. And spoiler alert, it was disappointing for me, I don’t know why, maybe because I’m burned out from visiting castle, or maybe because I saw a greater castle? Or maybe because I expected something from the castle that said to be the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu? The Evangelion exhibition saved this castle from a total disappointment, at least there are something interesting.
After the castle I went back to my hotel and then meet up with my boss and some Japanese co-workers for a little nomikai. Alcohol intake, not that much.
The second day, which is Monday, it’s the old atmosphere everybody was as welcoming as ever. I only spent half day there because I had to visit other supplier factory in Gifu, I’m still cursing myself for not taken any photos in my phone (for the location purpose), then that night another nomikai, and this time I drunk so much sake that actually made me drunk and made me worry for tomorrow. I’m not the kind of person to have hangover, so I didn’t worried about that, I was more worry about how much alcohol I will have left in my blood, since Tuesday, I will have to attend welcome party.
Tuesday, another nomikai, thank god my body can handle another round. That day, I was not drunk whatsoever, but I did drink Calpis sawla for at least 5 glasses, and other other things...overall probaby 15-20 glasses of alcohol. Those are nothing to sake I previously drunk on Monday though.
Wednesday, nothing worth mentioning ohh except I walked 2 km for Matsumoto Kiyoshi to get the stuffs ppl asked me to buy for them.
Thursday, yakiniku with my co-workers.
Friday, actually nothing?
So one week has passed, most the weekdays activity either hung out” with my co-workers or went to grocery shopping, my co-workers (in Thailand) asked me to buy kimono for them, and they keep called it yukata. It was a short kimono that you wear with hakama, these people want to wear them as “fashion”, these really culture appropriation *sigh*
Saturday, Saturday, where did I go on Saturday...oh Meiji Mura...again. I actually went there two years ago to dress in Hakama while this year is to see very small fireworks with actual same age people. Because I already went there once, not many pictures were taken
Sunday, the manager in charge of me took me to Iga, MIe to see some ninja. Iga Ueno castle is actually in the list of castle I want to visit. If you talking about Iga ninja, Hattori Hanzo, probably the famous ninja from that “school”?
The ninja demonstration was interesting, idk what I expected, I guess I did low-key expected movie stunts ninjutsu, but it turned out to be just ninja technique.
I do loves Iga Ueno Castle since I could see both the life of ninja and samurai in one place. The ninja village is really fun place and touristy.
So far the day went very well and pretty much free since the manager paid for everything, but my dumbass has to be extra and went to Nishio to see lantern festival (alone). And you know what, the taxi cost 6000 yen round-trip just for the station to the festival ground. And this is what 6000 yen gave me...
It only 8pm and the festival already over. I learned something new every time I went to Japan. Apparently, 8pm is late for the festival. I live in the city, 8pm is still early for me.
Monday, kaiten sushi with the same age people
Tuesday, in the afternoon I went to Toyohashi to see printing factory and the person asked me what is the food that I want to eat but have not eaten yet, and I replied “unagi”, which is something very expensive.
I think this was about 5000 yen for a set. In the evening, he treated me tempura like in actually tempura shop, where the chef actually fried tempura in front of us.
As a nekojita, I was suffering but it was so delicious.
Wednesday, I got stood up by the manager that took care of me 2 years ago. No biggie.
Thursday & Friday, spent my last day in Anjo as lonely as ever. (and spent 2 hours try to figure how to pack everything in my suitcase because of what people asked me to buy)
Saturday, I bought a day tour from Klook to Takayama and Shirakawago, the thing about tour is it convenience and probably cheaper than finding the transportation myself, but the downfall always, the time. There are not enough time!! I guess that is something I have to accept when it a day trip. In the bus, I was the only non-Chinese speaking person there.
Takayama...I was eating, so I didn’t had much time to explore, but you know what I feels like if you went to Kyoto, you don’t need to go to Takayama. It has it own charmed, I just didn’t had enough time to enjoy its charm.
The raw beef is the best out of the 3, this Hida beef made visiting Takayama worth it.
Next stop, Shirakawago, the highlight of the trip. The sunlight and everything made the pictures look colorful and amazing. The photos taken there was one of my favorite set of photos of all my trips.
Shirakawago, a place I would loved to visit again during winter and spent more time there. Due to the lack of time, I can only take pictures of here and there instead of absorb myself. I wanted to visit more museum, more historical stuff, but the time is limited :/
After the day tour, I went to Hikone and stay at the hotel there.
Sunday, the last day let’s make it count. I first planned to go see Tonbokiri in western shiga (which I forgot the name of the place), but because it was so far away and I don’t want to wake up early and my main goal was HIkone castle. I ended up with visited Nagahama Castle in the morning. That Sunday probably the day I cursed google map the most because the train schedule in there just not right! I didn’t missed the train, but like the map told me it departs at 9, I arrived at 8:50, the trained in the google map is the train that not stop in this station like what’s going on. And that happened a lot that day, I probably spent like almost 2 hour in (different) train station because the time in google map was earlier than the actual train.
Anyway, back to Nagahama castle, a castle built by Totoyomi Hideyoshi
In my opinion, definitely better than Okazaki, the overall atmosphere made it “feels” more significant than Okazaki castle. The view from the tenshuu is very pretty, in which you can actually see Biwa lake.
I just loves this kind of scenery.
After Nagahama, I went to Omi-Hachiman for some unknown reason. I’m like that awkward person that wouldn’t push the stop button because nobody seem to get off at this stop, and just kept riding the bus until many ppl get off. I mean they are Japanese people, they know what’s good right? Turned out, the popular spot Japanese people are going is like a “dessert park” called La Collina, I called it dessert park because they mainly sell dessert there, and “park” because they have large greenery area.
Their most famous dessert is Baumkuchen, I personally not that big fan of it, so I bought the small size along with macaron.
Then, I followed google map to Omihachiman canal area to find the bus to get back to the station.
The canal area is what I intended to go.
I’m glad I was awkward and decided to follow Japanese people because I got have variety of scenic photos.
Next stop, the highlight of this trip Hikone Castle, 1 of the 12 original castles yayyy.
I love Japanese garden, so first visited the garden in the castle area and just like other garden I visited (except Kokura Castle garden), i was not disappointed.
The Hikone Castle, I loved the castle that I have to work my way to see the tenshu. I love climbing, just to see castle.
The view from the tenshu also amazing.
After HIkone, I went back to Nagoya to see my same age co-workers? friends? comrades? again for the last time, and we ate “Taiwanese Ramen” which just spicy ramen
And then I got back at the airport, which seem very empty at night.
Good bye, Aichi. I hope they will send me there for business trip again next year.
If you read this far, stay tuned for another Japan trip, which is like 2 weeks later from this Japan trip.

plot
In the year 2012, the Ministry of Magic discusses plans to further studies for the incoming youth to cope with the influx of new knowledge that comes with advancing time. Eventually, they come up with an idea equivalent to Muggle college, where four more years are added to assist students in specializing even further in their future. This includes additional courses along with internship opportunities so that students may decide if the job they wish to take up is the right job for them.
In 2014 after many proposals and suggestions, the program is implemented in the ancient Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A prototype filled with many curious and eager students, if successful the other schools around the world will also debate the merit of the new arrangement.
Roll into the present and the school is thriving more than ever.

/r/LoveLive is now taking donations for Aqours 2nd Love Live Flower Stand in Saitama! [Sep 29/30]
Hey everyone! This time I’ll be speaking as a representative for /r/LoveLive!
In short: We are taking donations for another flower stand for Aqours 2nd Live in Saitama!
If you didn’t know, we sent in not one, but three flower stands to Aqours 1st Live at Saitama! You might’ve seen the comparison between the fan-drawn International Poster Girl images and the official images before here, and they were drawn for the sake of that flower stand!
And due to the extraordinary success of our 1st Live flower stand (we were originally planning on doing only one stand!), we’re going to send more stands to 2nd Live as well!
Donate Here (via PayPal in YEN)
Minimum amount is 1000 yen! Please include your username, country and Aqours member preference in the messages when donating!
You can follow the progress of donations and find more information on the Google Doc here.
As it stands, this is our current plan for the stands. We will be shooting for three stands once again, with a different year group on each stand to represent the colors of each leg of the tour. But this time, we will be getting nine artists for the stand, one for each character in their 2nd Live shirt + happi!

Why so early if the live is in September?
This is to give ample time for our flower stand helpers and the florist to make sure the stand is exactly how we want it as did encounter some problems last time doing it really late.
Are you doing stands for the Nagoya and Kobe tours/legs?
No plans to do these as arranging florists around those areas are close to impossible as we have no one on site.
Where will the stands be displayed?
They will be displayed outside of Metlife/Seibu Dome near the parking lot on Friday and Saturday (29th and 30th of September).
Do you accept anything outside of paypal?
At the moment, no. These funds will be sent to a friend in Japan who will convert the money into physical yen to pay for the stands and prints.
I didn't include my username/country/best girl in my donation message!
PM me or /u/MasterMirage on Reddit the email used to donate with this information and I can update it on the document.
Thank you for your support, everyone! But most of all, thanks to MM, astro, fotc, picup, and all the illustrators for making these stands a reality!
If you have any further questions, you can PM me here, /u/MasterMirage on Reddit or just join the /r/LoveLive discord and ask in the 2nd Live channel!

WIP Update - 21 Sep 2022
A somewhat productive week - I touched 5 fics (2 WIPs & 3 new works) for a total of 1922 words.
I posted a Clint & Tony one shot (previously shared on Tumblr) for a TSB square, contributed to a Round Robin during the BBB Discord party and posted a fill for last week’s @flashfictionfridayofficial that also filled SRB and MWAPB squares.
I’m up to 14 active WIPs (with a couple of maybe TBCs) with my current deadlines being the Stuckony Summer Stockings and @suck-tember.
See below cut for the WIPs (arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc) I am working on - feel free to send me prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding any of these projects (or any other WIPs I’ve got out there) – they really help feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Stuckony Summer Stockings [due 25 Sep]
This fun gift event (run by the @stb-bingo mods) lets you share prompts for others to fill. There’s an initial anonymous reveal on October 1st, then the creator names will be revealed on the 8th. Prompt submission is closed, but if you have a hankering to write something Stucky|Stony|WinterIron|Stuckony-oriented as a gift, check out the list of prompts! (and yes, I have a couple of prompts in there…)
I wrote a quickie Stuckony smutfic (Sexy Shield-nanigans) that is coming in at 583 words - I may tweak it a bit before I post.
I also wrote a domestic fluff WinterIron kidfic with potential Stuckony (Color Our World) that has been posted to the event - it came in at 1374 words.
Suck-tember [ Runs thru 30 Sep]
As you might guess from the name, @suck-tember is a writing event focused on oral gratification. I read through the list of prompts and decided to try to combine a few with my bingo squares. I’ve posted 1 so far (Day 2: Swollen) and would like to try for 1 or 2 more - maybe the alternate dialog prompts? Here they are if anyone would like to throw me a pairing/plot bunny:
A. “How does it taste?” B. “Have you done this before?” C. “What are you waiting for?” D. “Take a deep breath.” E. “You look so pretty like this.” F. “Open wide.”
Reforged - A WinterIron Zine [Deadline 12 Nov]
I got accepted to submit a 1k-3.5k fic for this project, and have submitted a basic idea & completed my first checkin. Am poking at it little by little; it’s sitting at 2531 words - so over two-thirds done word-wise. Plot wise? That’s still TBD… I have very broad strokes in mind that are going to be tricky to get done in the words I have left… :: eek:: Got some good feedback from the @reforgedzine mods that I need to respond to - much appreciated!
Avengers Bingo [AvB] (Runs thru 24 Dec)
Seven fills posted and 0 WIPs - I decided to further challenge myself on this 16-square card by pairing up each square with a unique combo of 2 original MCU Avengers, with the final square being PolyVengers. With the help of the STB Enthusiasts Discord folks - I’ve got all 16 squares planned out, at least in terms of who to write about, and half of them have some sort of idea or crossover square to go along with them. Feel free to toss other plot bunnies my way…
* A3 - Reunited - posted Making a Different Call - an Endgame-compliant Natasha POV retelling of reuniting with Clint. It came in at 364 words.
* B1 - Death - thanks to last week’s Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF168 Sleepless Nights], I put together Moments Where the Words Don’t Reach - a short Steve POV piece set post A:IW that also combines my SRB Bruce Banner and MWAPB Crying squares. It came in at 544 words and will be posted to Ao3 sometime in the next week or two.
* B3 - Road Trip - Bruce & Thor - Post Grandmaster, pre-Thanos space shenanigans
* B4 - Age Gap - Thor/Tony - possible crossover with TSB One Night Stand (obvious title: Thunderstruck)
* C1 - Opposites Attract - Clint/Thor - there was a fun Tumblr headcanon going around about a Bumbling Foreigner whose ignorance of local customs results in him flirting with/proposing to the prince - this seems like a perfect matchup!
* C3 - Reincarnation AU - Natasha & Tony - post-Endgame.
* D1 - Friends w/ Benefits - Clint/Steve - crossover with MWAPB Hawkeye/Clint Barton and possibly SRB - Never Have I Ever
* D2 - Romeo & Juliet AU - basic idea: Steve (jock) & Tony (geek) trying out for title roles in R&J - despite their respective FWB groups thinking it’s a terrible idea. Title: Two Polycules, Alike in Dignity
* D3 - Bed Sharing - Bruce/Natasha - AoU compliant.
Man With a Plan (Steve Rogers) Bingo [MWAPB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
Ten fills, 0 WIPs and several Vague Ideas/potential cross fills with other bingos. Prompts cheerfully accepted!
* B3 - Farmer’s Market - now looking at a crossover with TSB Doing Groceries. Moodboard + ficlet?
* B4 - Powerless AU - if Sunqueen and I decide to continue Wrong Number, Right Call , this would be a good fit.
* I1 - Steve is here for TFAtWS - this might go well with my BBB “Oh, hell no" square - Steve trolling Bucky & Sam by sending the old man in with his shield? (moodboard & ficlet?)
* I5 - Dogsitting - possible crossover with BBB “Run” square - Steve & Bucky dogsitting for Lucky? (moodboard + ficlet)
* N1 - School AU/Teacher AU - if I decide to continue on with Technicalities - I could fill this square :: ponders::
* N3 - Online shopping - this might be fun as a crossover with BBB Thighs Sam buys a revealing swimsuit for Bucky as a gag that gets Steve in a tizzy.
* N4 - Soulmates - got inspired by a dream to start a Stucky fantasy AU (magician!Steve/ensorcelled!Bucky) that @bill-longbow is collaborating on with me. This will also fill my Stucky Bingo AU: Supernatural square. We’re currently sitting at 1640 words (984-ish of which are mine). Current Last Line: "My men will accompany you back to Brookline in the morning.”
* G4 - Canon Divergence post CA:TWS - possible crossover with BBB Kill List – Bucky wreaking havoc on Hydra bases and Steve & Sam catch up with him
* G5 - Friends to Lovers - might use this for Chapter 3 of Mutual Pinning
* O1 - Crying - see AvB Death square above
* O2 - Sex Pollen - Teenage Groot pollen = aphrodisiac hi-jinks. Quill & Gamora warn the couple (stucky)/throuple (Stuckony) ahead of time, so no dub-con.
* O3 - Hawkeye/Clint Barton - see AvB - Friends w/ Benefits above.
StarkBucks Bingo - Round 3 (SBB_R3) - Ends 31 Dec
5 fills, 1 WIPs and several Vague Ideas - soliciting plot bunnies or other kick-starters.
* B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.“ - Possible crossover with BBB - KINK: Seduction Mission?
* B3 - AU: Canon Divergence - probable crossover with TSB Endgame FixIt
* I2 - Mistaken Identity - crossover with TSB K5 - Protectiveness - “The Mechanic, The Soldier & The Artist” - mob/assassin AU with a Mr. & Mrs. Smith twist?
* I4 - Canon: Avengers Academy - will probably do Stuffed Marvels sketches of Tony and Winter, as I know very little about the game/canon.
* I5 - Matchmaker Bots - possible crossover with TSB Occupational Hazard
* N2 - Blanket - Thanks to the July BBB Discord party , I have an idea for combining this with my TSB AU: College square and BBB Funeral square.
* G3 - “This might as well happen.” Going to see if I can squish this into a Stucky –> Stuckony spur-of-the-moment threesome fic inspired by a series of posts with @needyoucap over on the STB Enthusiasts Discord server that in turn led to their WIP Steve & Bucky’s Sexy Bucket List. My version (alternating POV) is sitting at 1049 words and will also fill my TSB square Hindsight.
* O1 - Royalty - crossover with TSB - IronWidow & BBB AU: Arranged Marriage - pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up?
* O6 - AU: Biker - Grease 2 fusion anyone? 😁 I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and took notes - It’s not gonna be a faithful adaptation, but hopefully fun - tho am having a tough time deciding who is Michael (probably Bucky, tho a case could be made for Tony)
Hero Hardships Bingo [HHB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
One fill so far with a few Vague Ideas …
* I3 - Unimaginable Grief – I‘m thinking an post-Endgame Rhodey POV would work nicely here…
* N5 - Forgetting who you are because of who you’re expected to be - This fit quite nicely with Chapter 5 (Tony POV) of Flawed Hypothesis, which posted last Friday. Chapter 6 (Steve POV) is in progress at around 984 words. Current Last Line: “Steve, Bucky – I can’t be your omega.
* O3 - Dating a civilian - this would fit perfectly with another chapter of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’) , for which I currently have a basic plot point or two rolling around in my head.
Bucky Barnes Bingo - Round 4 [BBB_R4] (Runs thru 7 Jan 2023)
Ten fills, four WIPs & ideas for everything except one square - Working on a Column B bingo to start.
* B2 - Funeral - see SBB N2 - Blanket above
* B3 - Sam Wilson|Falcon - this would be a good candidate for a continuation of After One Or Two False Starts
* U2 - AU: Roommate - Still wanting to use the Meet Ugly prompt: 02. I bought a house three months ago but I’m finally moving in and discover you’ve been squatting because you’re homeless – probably WinterHawk with recovering!Bucky being the squatter in Clint’s apartment building.
* U4 - AU: Arranged Marriage - will probably pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up for this one.
* U5 - Kill List - see MWAP - G4 - Canon Divergence. Post CA:TWS above
* C2 - “Oh, hell no” - possible crossover with MWAP I1 - Steve is here for TFaWS
* C4 - KINK: Aftercare - possibly MWAP Sex Pollen or TSB KINK: Concubine
*C5 - “This might as well happen” - Used this for the Sept BBB Round Robin (crackfic - Emperor’s New Groove inspired) - not sure if/when it will post, but will add a link when it does. 😁
* K1 - Thighs - combined this with with SRB Game Night and HHB Hiding Discomfort for a 3 Prompts --> Summary game that I may turn into a BarberShop Quartet (Steve/Bucky/Natasha/Sam) ficlet. (tho the HHB prompt will probably get saved for Whumptober, if I participate)
* K2 - Comics - sew the Stuffed Marvel Classic Comics Bucky Barnes I drew up for Bucky’s birthday.
* K3 - KINK: Edging - crossing over with TSB KINK: Orgasm Denial/Edging & I finally got a start on the WinterIron PWP for this (Bucky POV with toy play and Tony as a power bottom) Hanging by a Moment is sitting at 96 words at the moment.
* Y2 - Never the fall that kills you - this might be the title for a reverse hanahaki WinterIron prompt from @lacrimula-falsa ….
* Y3 - “Run” - see MWAP I5 - Dogsitting above.
* Y4 - KINK: Seduction Mission - crossover with SBB - B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.”
* ADOPTED1 - Peggy Carter - potential WW3some shenanigans ahead - another 3 prompts --> Summary inspiration that may work with the SRB A4 - Touch Attention/Denial square - 395 words into a Peggy & Bucky conversation at the moment.
Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 2 (SRB_R2) - Ends 31 Jan
Ten fills posted – happily accepting plot bunnies here as well.
* A1 - Never Have I Ever - see AvB Friends with Benefits
* A4 - Touch Attention/Denial - See BBB Peggy Carter square?
* B2 - Mile High Club - this seems made for Stony sexy shenanigans…
* B3 - Bruce Banner - see AvB Death above.
* C1 - Arranged Marriage - see SBB Royalty square - remix/Part 2?
* E2 - Comics Nomad Steve - SWC sketch of Nomad!Steve
Tony Stark Bingo - Round 6 (TSB_R6) [Ends 28 Feb]
Four fills and 1 WIP at the moment - with about a dozen Vague Ideas.
* T1 - One Night Stand - see AvB - B4 - Age Gap

On other creative fronts: I have a Mister Lobo Stuffed With Character figure on deck. Am also gearing up for a classic monster/horror con in October and a superhero con in March - so am focused on building up stock for both. Plus I have to make space for Marvel Trumps Hate - just signed up earlier this week!
if you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for the holiday season, check out Stuffed With Character over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 80!). They’re mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design requests for any fandom!

Ride that Pony ... in 2019
So, last year when I was planning out my 100 mile training plan I signed up for this year’s Pony Express 50 Mile Trail Run. Long story short — I’m doing it. There are many reasons for it — stupid ankle, lack of training and most of all … desire. I just don’t want to do it this year.
Even that lack of desire has many reasons. Probably more than anything it’s trying to be a responsible adult (unlike last year) and not doing too much, too soon. Something that’s been VERY hard for me to learn and understand. I idiotically pushed through too much pain last year on a bum ankle that I could have derailed my long term goal completely.
I can’t afford that.
That’s why I have been focusing on just half marathons lately and why I am backing off the long distance in November and December. The only half marathon I am signed up for during those two months is the Bakers Dozen Half Marathon on December 1st. If it was a competitive race I probably wouldn’t be doing it — but, it’s a lax race with a party atmosphere.

I am not sure if I will do this short-term sabbatical every year? But, I’m 37 and pushing toward 40 — I need to be smarter about my running and racing. If not two months of long mileage — at least one. That seems like a minimum yearly requirement I should adhere to.
But, that’s a whole post for another day.
I’m here to talk about the Pony Express 50. Though I am not doing it this year, I am already looking toward it for next year. Because, I really do want to do it. I am not sure if I will follow that up with my 100 miler shortly afterward, that’s not my worry — I just want another ultra, specifically a 50 miler, under my belt. I love the distance and challenge.
I am being deliberate in my approach, not just in my running, but my fitness as well. I am doing more strength training and specific running workouts during the week. I want to lose a few more pounds to help with that, but really I just need a stronger core.
That’s why I am already planning out my training schedule now — over a year before the race. I want to be ready. I want to be deliberate. And, I want to give myself enough time to mentally and physically undertake this feat. I’ve done it once and I know I can do it again.

My ultra training will cross over a bit with my marathon training. I will be training for the Revel Big Cottonwood Marathon with a group of friends (many doing their first marathons might I add!). But, pretty much from July onward as I work toward Revel, I’ll be focusing on Pony just as much. Lots of back-to-back runs, uphill runs and midnight runs — even a few long treadmill runs.
It’ll be “fun.”
Luckily, I have a dedicated group of running friends there with the Revel training. Not to mention my friend Shanalee who’s planning on running the Pony 50 with me. I’m hoping to get a few other runners in on the fun, especially the Pony 50. We’re not going for speed, just cutoffs and completion — so if you want to join us, join us!
I am going to hashout a few more specifics on some of these training runs, but I’ll post them either on my Facebook page or the Trails & Pavement page or group? Stay tuned here.
But, without much further adieu here are the planned loooong runs for the Pony 50 and Revel BC. I am not going to post my weekly runs. I do keep those reasonably low 3-8 because I also do quite a bit of strength training/boot camp during the week.
July
05 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 06 – Vigor Solitude Trail – 5 Miles 06 – Follow the Flag 5K 12 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 13 – 10 Miles (Big Cottonwood) 19 – 3 Miles (Bountiful) 20 – Speedgoat 25K 24 – Deseret News 10K 26 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 27 – Timp Half (+3 Miles)
August
02 – 8 Miles (Bountiful) 03 – 12 Miles (Emigration Canyon) 09 – 10 Miles (Bountiful) 10 – 20 Miles (Big Cottonwood) 16 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 17 – Run Elevated Half Marathon (+7 Miles) 23 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 24 – Mt. Nebo Half (+5 Miles) 30 – 3 Miles (Bountiful) 31 – Pocatello Half Marathon
September
06 – 13 Miles (Bountiful?) 07 – Cedar City Half Marathon 13 – 25 Miles (Bountiful?) 14 – Revel Big Cottonwood Marathon 20 – 15 Miles (Bountiful) 21 – 15 Miles (Emigration Canyon) 27 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 28 – 30 Miles (Jordan River Parkway)
October
04 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 05 – 15 Miles (Emigration Canyon) 11 – 5 Miles (Bountiful) 12 – Antelope Island Half Marathon 18 – Pony Express 50 Mile Trail Run
The biggest difference compared to my last 50 training plan is a lot more back-to-back training plans. I am not using many marathons as my training plan — just one. Though I will have a 25 and 30 training run to do.
Some of these runs will be midnight runs, some will be deliberately slow and others will be out and backs up a canyon. I love and want the challenge in every run I do. This is not just something physical — it something mentally, emotionally and spiritually that I am undertaking — so I need to prepare that way.
And, I will run plenty of trails. Besides doing the Speedgoat 25K (which terrifies me) I will train in my backyard up Mueller Park Canyon throughout the week. That is something I am looking forward to more than anything.
Anyways — that’s about it … anyone else want to join me?

I am looking forward to my fifth consecutive year of Autumn Photography Workshops at Batsford Arboretum this October. These popular workshops are set in a fantastic woodland environment with a vast array of colour and varying opportunities for any level of photographer to learn and practise macro, abstract, vista and any the art of seeing good photographic shots. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Half and full day workshop options with exclusive access to the grounds on the morning workshop.
As mentioned in an earlier blog post this month, I have added two new courses for Intermediates. To make things simpler for clients I have categorised all the classes and courses with Level 1 - Beginners and Level 2 - Intermediates. So in addition to the beginner's photo course and Lightroom Course, there is now an intermediate 4wk Photography course and an intermediate 4wk Lightroom Course.
Both new courses will run at Kenilworth or Solihull which means I may be running less of the original 5wk beginner's courses but aim to ensure I alternate that course between the locations every six weeks or so. Naturally, if there is sufficient demand for the new courses then I will revise the schedule and offerings, so if you are interested please ensure you click the Register Interest button. Maybe you need to use your JLR ELS Voucher before the end of September!

RPS Distinctions Group - Enroll at anytime
I am pleased to say that after six months of launching the course we are making great progress with several participants already reaching 50% or more of a draft panel.

If you are interested in joining this course and giving yourself a target to work on an image collection for RPS Distinction please get in touch to discuss or just book online. You can enrol at any time and join a class to suit your pace and availability.
Where multiple events are listed for the same date, the demand will dictate which events will proceed but every effort will be made to ensure that each event type runs even if on different dates or locations.
If you would like to see some of the images that I have taken over the past month that may encourage you to join me then check out my latest images.
2.5hr Introductory Classes for beginners - run regularly on Tuesdays in Solihull and Thursdays in Kenilworth. All evening classes are from 6:45 pm to 9:15 pm - no experience required to attend.
If you would prefer to do one to one tuition then I am available to book in half or one day sessions during the day - Other Tuition Services All photography events can be added to a Pick n Mix tuition plan so that you can spread the cost of courses, workshops and tuition and ensure your development is structured.

WIP Update - 14 Sep 2022
A very productive week, thanks in part to the @stuckybingo Discord party this weekend! - I touched 7 fics (2 WIPs & 5 new works) for a total of 3507 words.
@psychiccatpanda and I posted Chapter 5 of our Stucky --> Stuckony non-traditional a/b/o WIP. I also participated in the September Stucky Discord Party Round Robin and wrote a a No Powers AU Stucky meet cute double drabble inspired by one of the games. Lastly, I posted a Natasha POV retelling of the Tokyo Nat & Clint reunion scene here on Tumblr.
I’m up to 14 active WIPs (with a couple of maybe TBCs) with my current deadlines being the Stuckony Summer Stockings, along with my submission for the @reforgedzine and the @avengersbingo .
See below cut for the WIPs (arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc) I am working on - feel free to send me prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding any of these projects (or any other WIPs I’ve got out there) – they really help feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Stuckony Summer Stockings [due 25 Sep]
This fun gift event (run by the @stb-bingo mods) lets you share prompts for others to fill. There’s an initial anonymous reveal on October 1st, then the creator names will be revealed on the 8th. Prompt submission is closed, but if you have a hankering to write something Stucky|Stony|WinterIron|Stuckony-oriented as a gift, check out the list of prompts! (and yes, I have a couple of prompts in there…)
I wrote a quickie Stuckony smutfic (Sexy Shield-nanigans) that is coming in at 583 words - I may tweak it a bit before I post.
I also wrote a WinterIron --> Stuckony kidfic (Color Our World) that is coming in at 1380 words - it may get tweaked a bit as well before posting.
Suck-tember [ Runs thru 30 Sep]
As you might guess from the name, @suck-tember is a writing event focused on oral gratification. I read through the list of prompts and decided to try to combine a few with my bingo squares. I’ve posted 1 so far (Day 2: Swollen) and would like to try for 1 or 2 more - maybe the alternate dialog prompts? Here they are if anyone would like to throw me a pairing/plot bunny:
A. “How does it taste?” B. “Have you done this before?” C. “What are you waiting for?” D. “Take a deep breath.” E. “You look so pretty like this.” F. “Open wide.”
Reforged - A WinterIron Zine [Deadline 12 Nov]
I got accepted to submit a 1k-3.5k fic for this project, and have submitted a basic idea & completed my first checkin. Am poking at it little by little; it’s sitting at 2374 words - so over two-thirds done word-wise. Plot wise? That’s still TBD… I have very broad strokes in mind that are going to be tricky to get done in the words I have left… :: eek::
Avengers Bingo [AvB] (Runs thru 24 Dec)
Six fills posted and 0 WIPs - I decided to further challenge myself on this 16-square card by pairing up each square with a unique combo of 2 original MCU Avengers, with the final square being PolyVengers. With the help of the STB Enthusiasts Discord folks - I’ve got all 16 squares planned out, at least in terms of who to write about, and half of them have some sort of idea or crossover square to go along with them. Feel free to toss other plot bunnies my way…
* A3 - Reunited - combined this with last week’s @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt [#FFF167 Leap Of Faith] for a Natasha POV of the Avengers:Endgame Ronin in Tokyo scene. Making a Different Call came in at 363 words and will get posted to Ao3 here in the next few weeks.
* B1 - Death - possible crossover with MWAP Crying and SRB Bruce Banner squares - post Snap Bruce & Steve mourning?
* B3 - Road Trip - Bruce & Thor - Post Grandmaster, pre-Thanos space shenanigans
* B4 - Age Gap - Thor/Tony - possible crossover with TSB One Night Stand (obvious title: Thunderstruck)
* C1 - Opposites Attract - Clint/Thor - there was a fun Tumblr headcanon going around about a Bumbling Foreigner whose ignorance of local customs results in him flirting with/proposing to the prince - this seems like a perfect matchup!
* C3 - Reincarnation AU - Natasha & Tony - post-Endgame.
* D1 - Friends w/ Benefits - Clint/Steve - crossover with MWAPB Hawkeye/Clint Barton and possibly SRB - Never Have I Ever
* D2 - Romeo & Juliet AU - basic idea: Steve (jock) & Tony (geek) trying out for title roles in R&J - despite their respective FWB groups thinking it’s a terrible idea. Title: Two Polycules, Alike in Dignity
* D3 - Bed Sharing - Bruce/Natasha - AoU compliant.
Man With a Plan (Steve Rogers) Bingo [MWAPB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
Nine fills, 0 WIPs and several Vague Ideas/potential cross fills with other bingos. Prompts cheerfully accepted!
* B3 - Farmer’s Market - now looking at a crossover with TSB Doing Groceries. Moodboard + ficlet?
* B4 - Powerless AU - if Sunqueen and I decide to continue Wrong Number, Right Call , this would be a good fit.
* I1 - Steve is here for TFAtWS - this might go well with my BBB “Oh, hell no" square - Steve trolling Bucky & Sam by sending the old man in with his shield? (moodboard & ficlet?)
* I5 - Dogsitting - possible crossover with BBB “Run” square - Steve & Bucky dogsitting for Lucky? (moodboard + ficlet)
* N1 - School AU/Teacher AU - if I decide to continue on with Technicalities - I could fill this square :: ponders::
* N3 - Online shopping - this might be fun as a crossover with BBB Thighs Sam buys a revealing swimsuit for Bucky as a gag that gets Steve in a tizzy.
* N4 - Soulmates - got inspired by a dream to start a Stucky fantasy AU (magician!Steve/ensorcelled!Bucky) that @bill-longbow is collaborating on with me. This will also fill my Stucky Bingo AU: Supernatural square. We’re currently sitting at 738 words (430-ish of which are mine). Current Last Line: Steve stumbled backwards, unable to make sense of the scene he just revealed.
* G4 - Canon Divergence post CA:TWS - possible crossover with BBB Kill List – Bucky wreaking havoc on Hydra bases and Steve & Sam catch up with him
* G5 - Friends to Lovers - might use this for Chapter 3 of Mutual Pinning
* O1 - Crying - see AvB Death square above or BBB Peggy Carter square below.
* O2 - Sex Pollen - Teenage Groot pollen = aphrodisiac hi-jinks. Quill & Gamora warn the couple (stucky)/throuple (Stuckony) ahead of time, so no dub-con.
* O3 - Hawkeye/Clint Barton - see AvB - Friends w/ Benefits above.
StarkBucks Bingo - Round 3 (SBB_R3) - Ends 31 Dec
5 fills, 1 WIPs and several Vague Ideas - soliciting plot bunnies or other kick-starters.
* B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.“ - Possible crossover with BBB - KINK: Seduction Mission?
* B3 - AU: Canon Divergence - probable crossover with TSB Endgame FixIt
* I2 - Mistaken Identity - crossover with TSB K5 - Protectiveness - “The Mechanic, The Soldier & The Artist” - mob/assassin AU with a Mr. & Mrs. Smith twist?
* I4 - Canon: Avengers Academy - will probably do Stuffed Marvels sketches of Tony and Winter, as I know very little about the game/canon.
* I5 - Matchmaker Bots - possible crossover with TSB Occupational Hazard
* N2 - Blanket - Thanks to the July BBB Discord party , I have an idea for combining this with my TSB AU: College square and BBB Funeral square.
* G3 - “This might as well happen.” Going to see if I can squish this into a Stucky –> Stuckony spur-of-the-moment threesome fic inspired by a series of posts with @needyoucap over on the STB Enthusiasts Discord server that in turn led to their WIP Steve & Bucky’s Sexy Bucket List. My version (alternating POV) is sitting at 1049 words and will also fill my TSB square Hindsight.
* O1 - Royalty - crossover with TSB - IronWidow & BBB AU: Arranged Marriage - pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up?
* O6 - AU: Biker - Grease 2 fusion anyone? 😁 I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and took notes - It’s not gonna be a faithful adaptation, but hopefully fun - tho am having a tough time deciding who is Michael (probably Bucky, tho a case could be made for Tony)
Hero Hardships Bingo [HHB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)
One fill so far with a few Vague Ideas ...
* I3 - Unimaginable Grief – I‘m thinking an post-Endgame Rhodey POV would work nicely here…
* N5 - Forgetting who you are because of who you’re expected to be - This fit quite nicely with Chapter 5 (Tony POV) of Flawed Hypothesis, which posted last Friday. Chapter 6 (Steve POV) is in progress at around 984 words. Current Last Line: "Steve, Bucky -- I can’t be your omega.
* O3 - Dating a civilian - this would fit perfectly with another chapter of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’) , for which I currently have a basic plot point or two rolling around in my head.
Bucky Barnes Bingo - Round 4 [BBB_R4] (Runs thru 7 Jan 2023)
Ten fills, two WIPs & ideas for everything except one square - Working on a Column B bingo to start.
* B2 - Funeral - see SBB N2 - Blanket above

* U2 - AU: Roommate - Still wanting to use the Meet Ugly prompt: 02. I bought a house three months ago but I’m finally moving in and discover you’ve been squatting because you’re homeless – probably WinterHawk with recovering!Bucky being the squatter in Clint’s apartment building.

* U5 - Kill List - see MWAP - G4 - Canon Divergence. Post CA:TWS above

* Y2 - Never the fall that kills you - this might be the title for a reverse hanahaki WinterIron prompt from @lacrimula-falsa ….
* Y3 - “Run” - see MWAP I5 - Dogsitting above.
* Y4 - KINK: Seduction Mission - crossover with SBB - B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.”
* ADOPTED1 - Peggy Carter - WW3some shenanigans ahead! I could go spicy with my Steve Rogers Bingo Touch Attention/Denial square. Or I could go all angsty and cross over with my MWAP Crying square... :: ponders::
Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 2 (SRB_R2) - Ends 31 Jan
Nine fills posted – thanks mostly to the @steverogersweek event! Zero WIPs at the moment, but happy accepting plot bunnies here as well.

Stucky Bingo Round Four [SB_R4] (Ends 31 May 2023
Got my card on the first, but forgot to add a section for it here! Got my first fill courtesy of the Discord party Round Robin and another posted this morning, with one active WIP. Still waiting on a couple of square replacements.
* N4 - Nerdiness -- I kicked off the Stucky Bingo September 2022 Round Robin with 339 words of a Steve POV look back at Bucky’s love of science - the other writers did a great job playing off that idea and giving Bucky a lovely birthday in the modern day!
* G4 - KINK: Car Sex - thanks to three separate rounds of the “3 Prompts --> Summary” game, I was able to cobble together a double drabble (200 words) of Stucky No Powers AU meet cute. Well I Wanna Make Your Motor Run posted this morning, with the potential of a smutty epilogue ... maybe I could combine with one of the Suck-tember prompts???
* O4 - AU: Supernatural - see MWAPB Soulmates above.
I also adopted the Writing Format: Remix one of your fics -- am thinking of taking one of my Stony or WinterIron No Powers fics and adapting it to a Stucky pairing -- if you have any requests - hit me up!
WinterIron - No Powers AU -- Stony No Powers AU
————
On other creative fronts: I have a Buc-ee mascot in progress, with a Wizard of Oz Tin Man and Mister Lobo on deck. Am also gearing up for a classic monster/horror con in October and a superhero con in March - so am focused on building up stock for both. Plus I have to make space for Marvel Trumps Hate - coming soon to a social media near you!
if you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for the holiday season, check out Stuffed With Character over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 80!). They’re mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design requests for any fandom!
