#Inktober for Writers

[stuck-in-delusions]

The sixth day of Inktober 2024. Trek.

The most boring and demotivating word in the whole list. I had no idea what to write. So here is a definition of the word.

Trek

/trek/ noun

a long walk over land such as hills, mountains, or forests.

STARDEW VALLEY INKTOBER 2024

Good lord, is it that time of year again? :D Since 2021, Grapefruit Sky SDV server has been creating an Inktober list. Beginnng with the wonderful @buttonso's list back in 2021 and designed by @hannahstumble the event has become a regular in our calendar. This year, we've teamed up with Stardew Valley Fanfic Writers for our prompts along with a couple of other servers.

The great thing about this carefully curated (by me!) list is that it is absolutely 1.6 friendly, but also, SPOILER FREE BABY! So if you haven't played 1.6 yet, this list is perfectly safe to use! :) Please feel free to share far and wide, there is also a dedicated Collection page on AO3 if you want to add your fic there :) AO3 Collection (be patient with me, I've never done this before, but if you need help signing up let me know here :) ) Don't forget, Inktober is not just for writers, it's for everyone! You can do anything you want and you don't have to do it all! Okay, enough of me, here's the list, I'll post it a couple more times until Inktober starts, but have fun! And feel free to share - everywhere! <3

Promptober! (The Writer's Version)

Hello everybody! October is just round the corner, and isn't this just the busiest time of the year for artists?

Let's squeeze the most out of 2024 by hopping in on the Inktober and NaNoWriMo trends in October and November. Personally, I'm aiming at writing between 1,500 - 2,000 words long short story or flash fiction based on the given prompt for the day!

Here's the list of prompts & inspos I'll be using for my Inktober 2024 journey <3 Comment or tag me on YOUR personal Inktober prompt lists, I'd love to take a look! Feel free to use my list for yourselves, too!

“Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month.” - Jake Parker

Wait...

It's November. It's November first. Yesterday was October 31st, so October is over. ...it's over. Is it over?

Inktober, artober, whumptober, flufftober, linktober, every tag ending with -tober that's been circulating for the past month... is it over? I don't know why it's just hit me but...

This matters. So I will try to get the message across, even though I'm not the best at it sometimes

Fanartists, fan writers, artists, fic writers, people making comics, every single one of you that has created art for the past month...

Thank you

This is my first October on tumblr. When I started seeing the "tober" tags, seeing the posts from artists with wips, saying they were going to make something every day to a prompt, making masterposts to update with each day, I thought "cool"

But every day this month, I have gotten on here and smiled.

And I don't mean smiled. I mean I smiled at least 20 times every time I got on the app because I saw all the art and fics. I got to see artists/writers connect stories through different day prompts. I saw people having the most brilliant ideas and creativity, flowing from their hands into their posts. I saw artists responding to continuous asks, telling them how amazing they are. I saw artists getting behind, and keeping going.

I saw Free. Beautiful. Emotional. Amazing. Original. Creative. Art.

Every day

I haven't committed to anything of this before, so I can't directly relate to what you guys were thinking and feeling. But I'm willing to guess; I think you probably enjoyed it, because most won't do such a huge project unless they enjoy it. I think you probably saw it as a challenge you were willing to fulfill, and an opportunity to grow and develop your skills.

... but I'm also willing to bet you did it for us. For people like me, who love art, but don't do this specific type, who are in fandoms, who love tracking and watching you art and sending you compliments, who take joy in your work. For the other artists (and writers!) who admire each others styles and love to learn from each other.

If anyone ever tries to tell me that humans are inherently evil again, I will strap them to a chair, pull up these posts and say look. Look at what these people did. Look me in the eyes and tell me these sorts of actions don't come from the most loving hearts. Tell me these people don't want to make others happy, that they aren't inherently good. And I will tell you you're wrong.

I have so much going on, yet somehow it slipped into my life that I was constantly looking at your art for the joy of it without me even noticing.

And how is it possible. That we have such a beautiful community of people here that we will share. And communicate. And exchange compliments. And literally do things and send asks solely for the purpose of making someone smile.

I'm almost crying by now. God I can't express it well enough! But I am so. So. Grateful

You guys brought me a month of joy! You gave headcanons, and art, and stories!

Even yesterday, Halloween, I was blown away. Because I had expected... I didn't expect anything. And then I log on and see people sending happy halloween asks, exchanging doodles of candy, and headcanons and gifs.

And some are still catching up to the schedule or whatever, and that's ok! But at the beginning of this post, when I was simply realizing it was November, I asked myself "is it over?"

Is it over?

... I don't think so. I've seen artists say they're going to continue and expand on a piece they made and especially liked this month. Some people are still continuing, catching up to a voluntary deadline. All those masterposts with your whump/fluff/link/ink tober art? I know many as well as myself will be going through, looking over your posts with smiles, catching up on some things they missed this month... it will continue in the people and artists I didn't know existed before, but now follow. In the skills and growth in creativity! In the community we've grown, and art you've made, and the art to come, at a normal rate like every other month, even if it's not October anymore!

But my artists, writers... thank you so much. I don't know if you guys know how valuable and amazing you are. How incredible it is that you exist! People say it's amazing we exist under a sky of such stars, but how incredible is it that you made a stranger on the internet smile every day! Your life is so. So. Valuable. I can't even express how grateful I am that you exist, that you somehow are selfless enough to share the most beautiful parts of yourself simply to create, and to create joy. Thank you so so much.

(And this applies to all artists, in any fandoms, not just mine. And I'm just as grateful to people who couldn't do something every day, or only one day! You still share your art, you're just as... incredible. You are incredible.)

Okay.

So I'm gonna do this, and if others want to do it in the reblogs that's great! I do not care at all about reblogging or likes, but I want to make the people that have brought me such joy some appreciation- I hope I can bring you even a smidgen of the light you have brought into my life. So I'm gonna tag all the artists/writers I know of/can think of that have done any sort of October challenge, all of you creators that have made me smile. If people wanna want to tag others in the reblogs or replies to spread love that's cool.

(Basically I don't know social customs or anything at all, so if you don't want me to tag or if I was supposed to do something different or something let me know I have no idea what I'm supposed to do)(if I like accidentally tagged someone who isn't an artist/writer or forgot someone I follow... sorry)

@skyward-floored @kikker-oma @adrift-in-thyme @blueskittlesart @zeldaseyebrows @smilesrobotlover @bahbahhh @soso-dedeck @lennsart @arecaceae175 @illcamp @breannasfluff @solarfire-art @26kabeuchi @cathianemelian @truffeart @scribbly-z-raid @uniquevoidflowers

To all the artists and writers out there: thank you so much!!! You are amazing and I'm glad you exist. Your life is precious, and you matter. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty with us, we love you too!!!!!

... yeah. Just want yall to feel loved... because you are. Again, thank you. Thank you so so much to my beautiful creators who create joy as well as art, who keep storytelling alive. Just... thank you.

October creeps into the room

through faint grey light

that stopped dancing on the windowsill

since July left.

Being haunted by silence

makes the air grow weary

and faintly colder.

I hear the noise of people

walking in solitude,

thinking to themselves about others—

sitting alone in between their steps.

Company of ghosts on lonely eves,

threading through the rustling of leaves.

I can write down what haunts me,

yet I cannot read the ones who do.

October.

Promptober 2024!

I decided to go and make my own Promptober/Inktober 2024 since the Inktober for 2024 seemed very much travel themed, and I wanted to switch it up a bit.

Anyone and everyone is free to join in on this particular lists. I myself am more of an author and write faster than I draw, so I will be using this as writing prompts, but both writers and artists are welcome to use this! If you do, please tag with #OriaPromptober so that way I can see your creations! I'd love to see what you make outta this! I had fun compiling it too!

Original works or fanfiction/fanart is totally free!

I'm putting it out early in case people wanted to get a head start! If you have any questions, message me! I'm new to Tumblr so I'm trying to get into communities.

Thank you!

Bu yıldan öğrendiğim en önemli şey:

Kimse için gerektiğinden fazla çabalamamalısın.

The fifth day of Inktober 2024. Binoculars.

What a garbage topic for today. Anyways. I wrote 280 words, and let’s call it a day. Btw, I’ve never been in opera, but I’m a fan of theatre.

“Nah, I’m not playing 100 bucks for this show,” were the last words Anna said before proudly taking her seat on the balcony of the theatre. The cheapest ticket for the two-hour-long opera was her only option. Not that she was poor; she simply didn’t want to waste money on a performance that required only ears. Her friend, a silent companion for this show, approved, and it was a perfect plan for their evening.

The performance by the local troupe began just as Anna started getting too comfortable scrolling through TikTok. The ringing of the bell signalled the beginning of the show and the lights around slowly dimmed. A round of applause welcomed a woman who gracefully emerged on stage and began singing, accompanied by a beautiful melody.

The music and libretto were perfectly executed, sure, but what Anna truly wanted was to admire the scenery and costumes of the performers. After ten minutes of mindlessly listening to the Italian words, that she couldn’t understand at all, she finally took out her compact binoculars from her purse, a gift from her mother, and started magnifying them to focus on the main opera singer. The gorgeous woman with dark blue velvet dress, heavy professional makeup and glued blond hair. What a beautiful attraction. Not a woman, but a true masterpiece. Exactly the kind of inspiration that Anna needed for her drawings. Despite being surrounded by one form of art, she craved another, that was a meaning of her life, as she called it. Then she lowered the binoculars and kept watching the singer without any barriers between them. Art of one person fuelling another one with desire for creativity.

Day 6 of Inktober & Ferntober!

Prompts: Inktober: Trek Ferntober: Pumpkin Carving

[madmansmisc]

Jealous jealous, chains and jewels

Again anger is easy, an easy friend 

Genie bottle monotony, I love a man in uniform

Rambling raging racing, Boyle’s law 

The faster I go the harder the pressure 

That builds up beneath the piles of shit inside my skull

Poetober Day 6👁️🍭

cinnamon (si•nuh•muhn): a light yellowish brown.

Rewire

Dinner plate pupils

and a sweet cinnamon iris

sit on your sclera;

focused and engaged.

So connected with these four walls

they start closing in,

keeping us out of breath,

keeping us claustrophobic.

So connected with the ground

it starts to rattle,

keeping us off balance,

keeping us on our toes.

Daring to dissolve,

like candy floss

in the kitchen sink.

Disconnecting.

Digesting disassociation,

and doing as we must

to jump our brains

like car batteries.
