day 4 of campfire fest!! had an hour before the day ended by the time i finished this... shaknsbsjsbsn
(( @outerwilds-events ))
i got a fic idea literally yesterday so i'll just write it later if i decide i want to actually do it, but i didn't have time to before today ended so i just decided to do art based on this idea anyways.
very early game spoiler under cut
time loop hardly counts as spoilers but it's important to me that people don't get that spoiler
don't ask how hatchling would be able to make sap wine in the time loop, my explanation is that uhmm actually the loop will be a full day and uhh they didn't make it properly to save time. yeah, yeah that... makes sense. idk i just need porphy to have that extraterrestrial sapwine. i'll bend the rules to give them that

Okay Outer Wilds Fans, you voted for an event...now help me determine what kind we want to see. (Once we know what kind we'll discuss when.) Descriptions of each event below the cut!
Fest: The fest will run for a week. There will be a prompt or two for each day that anyone can create fan content for. The more the merrier. Content will be posted (on tumblr or Ao3 or both) during the fest.
Mini Bang: A mini bang is like a big bang but with lower word count. Authors will write a story with a set minimum word count. (I'm thinking 5k? 10k? Scream your favorite number in the tags please). Then artists (I've also seen this done with like playlists and pod fic and stuff) are assigned/sign up for fics and make art work for them. All the works are released to the general fandom at a certain date (on tumblr or Ao3 or both).
Reverse Mini Bang: It's a mini bang but in reverse. The artists make the art and then the writers of the fandom are assigned/sign up for the works and make a story about it. (Again, scream your favorite number in the tags) All the works are released to the general fandom at a certain date (on tumblr or Ao3 or both).
Exchange: Normally seen around Christmas. Participants are assigned another participant to make a fanwork for and all the works are released to the general fandom at a certain date (on tumblr or Ao3 or both).
Remix: Participants are assigned another participants already existing fanwork and remix it. That could mean writing your favorite scene from a different perspective or drawing your favorite scene. All the works are released to the general fandom at a certain date (on tumblr or Ao3 or both).
All events (besides the Fest) will have a sign up period. This is not a sign up.

Pov: you're a conscious observer, giving up all of your lives to help collapse the infinite possibilities of the Eye in order to jump start the dying universe, and the big bang you trigger fucking cracks you helmet's glass smh 🙄
#outer wilds#outer wilds spoilers#like MAJOR spoilers#lol#i can't believe they left that detail of the cracked glass there. it just shows that you die in this event#which fair i guess. but all that effort and all you get to see is another big explosion. the biggest explosion#tbh slate would be so proud lol

What do you think about the concept of time loops? I personally think about it a ton.
Hmm, well I like the stories 'bout them that I hear, but I don't wanna be in one anytime soon

since it’s award season!!! can i request singer!reader winning a grammy and ofc she takes drew as her plus one. and the internet goes wild!!! watching them interact with eachother :))
grammy award winner ⎯ DREW STARKEY!
authors note you must’ve read my mind cause when i got immediate inspo for singer!reader at the grammys. i love writing singer!reader.
taglist ✎ ̼ if you would like to be notified every time i post you will type in your username then be all set to go.
masterlist
summary attending the grammys with four nominations, performing, and bringing your handsome, supportive boyfriend along with you.
warning(s) cursing and bunch of cuteness
The Grammy's. The day you've been waiting for since you were a little girl sitting on the couch with your family watching some of your favorite artists perform. Now, you're blessed to say you're attending the Grammys with four nominations.
You're allowed to bring a plus one. Drew, your boyfriend, will be coming along with you. You wanted to repay him for bringing you to his events and bring him to the Grammy's. Plus, he's been talking about it non stop.
"Okay, plan is to have you walk out on the carpet first, take a few pictures, then have Drew come out" Your manager, Alysa, explains before signaling you to walk out.
You nod in agreement, gently squeezing Drew's hand, looking up at him⎯he's already looking at you with so much love and devotion. "I'm so proud of you baby, you got this, take a few deep breaths" he reassures you.
"Thank you baby, I really needed that" you smile.
You start by briefly taking photos on the carpet. You gesture Drew over for a few photos as you turn around. He stands tall and to your right. His left arm is fastened around your waist, and his thumb is gently rubbing circles to keep you calm.
You two stole everyone's hearts with your complementary outfits—elegance and love manifested. Every time you two attend an occasion, your wardrobe always complements or matches that of the other person.
You let out a giggle and moved in his direction, clasping hands, before he twirled you around in a playful manner. The genuine joy and pure devotion that radiated between you two was captured by the incessantly clicking cameras. He kissed you quickly on the temple as you sat back next to him.
He whispered, "I love you," in a voice reserved for you.
Your eyes gleamed as you gazed up at him. "You have my ultimate love."
The paparazzi were getting loads of video and camera footage of your little interaction.
By the time you arrived at the arena, you were taken backstage to prepare to play two of your most popular songs from your latest album. You've been working with your dance team on geography and making sure everything is flawless. There's an outfit change that alters the whole vibe.
Drew and your manager were in your changing room before the show, seated in the front of the stage. He wished you luck before Drew and Alysa took to the floor where everyone else was.
Chase, his co star on Outer Banks, is here attending with his girlfriend, Kelsey. Drew mentioned prior to leaving the dressing room they were gonna catch up.
"Good luck out there, you're gonna kill it out there, I love you baby," he says, embracing you with a gentle yet loving hug that makes you feel protected.
"I love you handsome."
Once it came time to performing, you stood on top of the stairs when the lights were placed on you. The first few chords sounded out, and the audience burst into cheers. So many things running through your mind on stage⎯you got this.
As your final song ended, the audience erupted in applause, giving you a standing ovation. You turned to face Drew, and there he was—on his feet, applauding swiftly whistling with his fingers, pride on his face.
For the viewers at home watching got to whiteness Drew's reaction after the performance. The way he looked at you was filled with so much emotion, love, and excitement. They were going crazy on social media.
Then came the awards. Your category was up, and the excitement was evident. Drew's fingers intertwined with yours under the table, causing your heart to race.
Best Pop Vocal Album Category.
“And the Grammy goes to…" The entire arena was on their toes as the card was being open.
"Y/N Y/L/N!”
Gasps and shouts erupted around you, but your thoughts went blank for a second, incredulity sweeping over you before Drew gently pulled you up. "It's you, baby. "Go get your Grammy."
Your jaw fell, free hand on your chest, searching your surrounds, unable to think or feel what was going on. You've won your first Grammy.
He walked you up to the stage, his support unwavering. He brings himselve back the table⎯giving you your moment to shine on stage. This moment is about you.
Taking a shaky breath, you accepted the award, emotions thick in your throat. Finally glancing up from staring at the award in your hand, "This… This is unbelievable," you began, peering out into the crowd. "I've dreamt of this moment my whole life, and I wouldn't be here without my incredible team, my fans, and the people who've supported me through everything."
Drew's eyes caught your attention amid the crowd, filled with unshed tears and pride. "And to my partner in crime, Drew, thank you for always believing in me and being my rock. "This is ours."
Drew placed his hand over his heart and nodded, sending a silent 'I'm very proud of you' your way.
After giving thanks to winning your award, you were guided back stage that trailed towards the front of the stage where the tables were. Drew's eye's were already on you when he could see you in his eye of vision.
He gets out of his chair, adjusts his tie, walks towards you, "my girl won her award tonight," and wraps his arms around you.
Trying to hold back your tears, you acknowledge in a hushed tone, "I fucking love you so much, and I love having you by my side throughout this entire process."
"And I love you more than you know; I'll be here every step of the way," he says, gently swinging your bodies side to side. The height gap between you two is rather noticeable.
As the show continued, there were more performances that were unbelievably beautiful no one could take their eyes off the stage. More awards were given out from different categories. You ended up winning two more awards from Album of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
There are no words to describe how honored you feel after tonight. Everyone has been discussing the idea of an after-party following the Grammy Awards. After that, you can celebrate and spend time with Drew.
Fans couldn’t get over the interview of you backstage after the show with Drew by your side. He couldn’t take his eyes off you the entire time as he smiled. You would put your right hand on his chest whenever you spoke about him.
fan33: can we please talk about the tears forming in drews eyes when y/n stood on stage?!? #boyfriendoftheyear
fan2: they fit each other so well I LOVE IT
fan7: this is what love looks like if y'all were wondering
fan22: alexa play that should be me 😔

goodbye campfire fest!!
this has been so so much fun- i'm so happy i got to be able to be a part of this wonderful event with so many talented artists and writers- it's been so beautiful seeing everyone's interpretations and writing and i've loved seeing everyone come together to create something unique. being so excited to open tumblr everyday and see what people's contributions are has been the highlight of my days this week, and it's so cool to me that i can be a part of this for the first event, and even though it was a teensy bit stressful, i'm so glad i've been able to hit all the prompts.
i can't wait to see what people might post during late submissions!! gonna keep checking every day to see. I've found many new talented artists and writers I had never seen before through this event, you all are seriously so nice and have been so sweet to me and to each other, this event has made me so happy.
I can't wait to see more from all of you. happy fest and much love!

yes I gave prisoner ears. I'm sorry I'm too much of a furry for this fandom aha
on a serious note, this fandom and this game have been my favorite thing about this year so far. Seriously, I was actually having a really tough couple months around the start of this year. I was dealing with a really really toxic friend in November and December and I was struggling to get over them. I was having a hard time letting go of my hurt and of the memory of them and our friendship- I was hurt and angry and I missed how great it was in the beginning. It was really tough for me, I didn't have any way to distract myself and I didn't have a way to let out my feelings. I felt stuck and trapped with a horrible memory and I didn't have the motivation to let it go. Then comes along this silly little game, that I remembered trying to play forever ago. I decided that I should probably try to play it again, and god it was the best decision I've ever made. This game, it has brought me so so much joy. I finally felt like I was able to let go and learn to move on and just enjoy the good memories while still remembering that they're in the past and while I can't change what happened, I can look forward to the future and hope. this game helped me cope with the grief, it helped me learn how to take care of myself and recover. It affected me so much in many ways, I will never ever forget it. This community has also brought me so much happiness, I've met so many wonderful and kind people, and I've became friends with some really cool people(one person in particular has been especially swaggers, you know who you are you weirdo /affectionate /plat). campfire fest has been great and I'm glad I got to be a part of it!! When I was thinking of what to draw for today, all I could think of was the immense amount of support I've received and given, and seen being passed around. So I figured it should be something to express that love!! Much love, and goodbye to campfire fest!! Can't wait to do this again next year <333

a little note about why people say "just play it trust me, i can't tell you anything about it" (in my opinion) below the read more, if youre curious!
spoils nothing about the events in the game but mentions how the game works & how it's related to the way fans might not tell you much about it.
if you're curious why people usually tend to say so little what the game is actually About and instead say "just play it don't look anything up, trust me" - like i said, the game is all about discovery. it is also very open - what's an 'early game' mystery to one person might not become resolved for another until they're almost done with the game.
these two things combined likely make it very difficult for people to use their favourites parts of the game as selling points, as they're a whole lot more fun and rewarding to discover yourself than to just be told about them. and well, they can be huge spoilers to even people playing but not done with the game due to the openness of the game!
maybe if you've played and loved undertale you remember the struggle of really wanting your friends to play it but not being able to tell them about the really interesting bits because they're supposed to be surprises - it's kind of like that.
of course there are things one can say about the game that aren't spoilers (though this is Subjective), i just choose not to, in case someone wants to know literally jack shit before going in, like me. i had a wonderful time going in like that, and so i want to give others the possibility to do the same.
so i really believe that when people say this it's not to be annoying, but to be nice and not spoil the fun for potential new players. hope this clears things up!
if you're curious about more details about the game, feel free to ask - i will do my best to answer without spoiling anything!
outer wilds is 40% off on steam - if you've not played it yet, i really really recommend it! to not spoil much - it's a super rewarding, immersive game about discovery, so, the less you know going in, the better! i played it this summer totally blind and i'm still thinking about it. a lot.
it won't be for everyone (no game is), but it's really wonderful if it clicks with you! so i urge you to at least give it a shot. the last time i loved a game so much i became a walking ad for it was for hollow knight - presumably a whole lot of my followers have played & love that game, so i just wanted to say : i consider outer wilds to be just as amazing of a game! i've even been purposefully avoiding reblogging spoilery fanart as to not rob any of you of the blind experience, just in case! that's how much i love it!!!
this has been your "guy who just played outer wilds" psa & little ramble about the game. thanks for reading

It looks like I'll be hosting a fest! Definitely sticking with the name Campfire Fest. So, a final question before I do a bunch of behind the scenes stuff for the fest.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, rafe cameron, 06
summary: y/n left the outer banks years ago, determined to build a life far from the memories of her childhood love, rafe cameron. now a botanist, she's moved on-though a quiet part of her still clings to the past. when an event brings her back to OBX, she's forced to confront the one person she never truly forgot.

The bonfire crackles under a star-scattered sky, casting a warm glow over the crowd. Laughter mingles with the sound of waves crashing against the shore. The Outer Banks feels alive tonight, a place where memories are made and shattered in equal measure. Your surrounded by familiar faces, friends who’ve known you forever, and for a few fleeting moments, everything feels right.
Rafe stands a few feet away, a beer clutched in his hand, watching you with hawk-like intensity. His jaw is tight, the vein in his temple pulsing. You laugh at something Pope says, and your smile radiates through the night. When Pope leans in and gives you a brief hug, Rafe’s grip on his bottle tightens until his knuckles go white.
You don’t notice at first, lost in conversation. But when you finally turn toward Rafe, his eyes are dark and stormy, barely restrained. He motions with a tilt of his head for you to come over. You hesitate, sensing the simmering rage behind his gaze.
“Hey, I’ll be right back,” you say to your friends, forcing a smile.
You walk toward him slowly, your sandals kicking up sand. The bonfire feels too far away now, its warmth slipping away with each step. When you reach him, his jaw clenches, eyes flicking to the group behind you.
“What the fuck was that?” he growls, voice low but sharp enough to cut.
Your brow furrows. “What was what?”
He takes a step closer, his face just inches from yours. The heat rolling off him isn’t the kind that makes you melt; it’s the kind that makes your spine stiffen.
“That little hug,” he spits. “With Pope. What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
You scoff, incredulous. “Are you serious right now?”
“Yes, I’m fucking serious!” His voice rises just enough to draw a few curious glances. He doesn’t care. His eyes are wild, a storm you’ve seen too many times before. “You let him put his hands all over you like that, and you think I’m just supposed to stand here and smile?”
Your hands clench into fists at your sides. “It was just a hug, Rafe. You’re blowing this out of proportion—”
“Blowing it out of proportion?” he interrupts, his voice dripping with bitterness. “You’re always so fucking friendly with everyone. Everyone gets a piece of you, and I get to just sit here and watch.”
You glare at him, your voice shaking with fury. “I’m not a piece of property, Rafe. I don’t owe you explanations for who I talk to.”
His eyes flare, his lip curling into a sneer. “Yeah, well, maybe if you didn’t need everyone’s attention all the fucking time, we wouldn’t have this problem.”
Your mouth falls open, disbelief washing over you. The hurt seeps through your expression, and for a brief second, regret flickers in his eyes — but it’s gone as quickly as it appeared.
You take a shaky breath, trying to steady yourself. Your voice is tight, barely containing your anger. “You’re being a jealous asshole.”
He laughs darkly, running a hand through his hair, the strands falling messily over his forehead. “Maybe I wouldn’t be if you didn’t make me feel like I have to fight for you every damn second.”
“Fight for me?” you echo, eyes glistening. “Rafe, I’m here. I’ve always been here. You’re the one pushing me away with your insecurities and this—this fucking control you think you have over me.”
His fingers twitch at his sides, wanting to reach for you, to pull you close and fix it, but his pride holds him back. Instead, his voice comes out sharp and venomous. “You know what? Maybe I should just stop giving a shit.”
Your breath catches in your throat. The words are like a slap, stinging more than you care to admit.
“You know what?” you say, your voice trembling. “Maybe you should.”
Turning on your heel, you feel the weight of his gaze burning into your back. He doesn’t follow. The distance between the two of you grows with each step, the crackle of the bonfire swallowed by the roaring in your ears.
By the time you reach the light of the fire, your friends’ laughter feels like another world — one you’re no longer a part of.
Your phone vibrates in your pocket as you sit by the bonfire, the warmth of the flames doing little to quell the cold knot twisting in your stomach. You try to ignore it, but your thumb betrays you, pulling the phone out of your pocket. His name lights up the screen.
11:47 PM
Rafe: So this is how it is now?
You don't reply. Your thumb hovers over the keyboard, heart pounding, before you shove the phone back in your pocket. You force yourself to focus on your friends, on their laughter, but it all feels distant. Another buzz.
11:50 PM
Rafe: You just gonna walk away like that? Cool. Real fucking mature.
Your jaw clenches, and the hurt in his words stings like a slap. You don’t even know what to say. You just keep your phone in your pocket, your hand tight around it like you’re holding onto the last bit of control you have.
12:02 AM
Rafe: Bet Pope’s loving this. Bet he’s been WAITING for you to be single.
Your fingers tighten around the phone, a sick twist in your stomach. This isn’t Pope’s fault. And it sure as hell isn’t yours. But still, the jealousy in his message burns. You don’t respond.
12:10 AM
Rafe: I know Pope likes Cleo. I know I’m being fucking ridiculous. But I can’t help it.
Your heart aches as you read his words. It’s not even about Pope, not really. It’s about you leaving, about the distance growing between you. You close your eyes and try to steady your breath, but it feels like it’s all unraveling. You don’t know how to fix this, or even if you should.
12:15 AM
Rafe: You always wanted to be everyone’s favorite. Well, congrats. You win.
His words hit harder than any of the others. You feel like you’ve been slapped, and the sting is so raw you can’t stop the tears that threaten to spill. You wipe them away quickly. Cleo looks at you, her concern palpable.
“You good, girl?” she asks.
“Yeah,” you lie, forcing a smile. “Just tired.”
Your phone buzzes again. You know it’s him. You don’t want to look, but you do. You can’t help it.
12:32 AM
Rafe: Fuck. I didn’t mean it.
12:34 AM
Rafe: Why do I always fuck this up?`
You suck in a breath. His self-loathing is so intense, so painfully familiar. You wish you could hold him, reassure him, but it’s not that simple. He’s not the only one who’s hurt, and you’re tired of carrying it all by yourself.
12:45 AM
Rafe: Come back. Please.
Your stomach churns at the desperation in his words. Part of you wants to cave, wants to go back to him and forget about everything. But you know you can’t. Not like this. You can’t keep walking in circles around him, hoping that one day it’ll all make sense.
12:50 AM
Rafe: I need you.
Your throat tightens. You’re choking on the ache inside you, the words that you can’t take back and the love that you’re not sure how to handle anymore. He’s always needed you, but you need more than that. You need to be seen, to be loved in a way that doesn’t hurt.
You squeeze your eyes shut, hands trembling. And just when you think it’s over, your phone buzzes again.
1:05 AM
Rafe: I know I’m not good enough for you. But I don’t know how to be without you.
a/n: the next few chapters will all be set in the past, and then no more past chapters!!

AU Timeline Of History and Key
Events:
[Past]
• New Cybertron is thrown into chaos when Zeta Prime, the first Head Prime, is killed in an outer-world ambush attack.
•In the aftermath, the remaining Primes create a new government and caste system to restore balance.
• To help find a new leader, Primus creates the Primus Beacon, an artifact that can help the user identify the next Head Prime.
• Along with this, a song written by Primus and is discovered by Sentinel Prime, though the end of it is destroyed during the attack on New Cybertron. The remaining lyrics recalled only by Sentinel prime.
[Untouched Lyrics that were retained]
“To my children, I grant to you, The beacon of my holy truth. I have found one to bear the weight, For he alone can cleanse his plate. Let him lead, his vessel Is pure, Guided by vision, steady and sure. And along with him, a spark untamed, A fire that'll burn, wild, unclaimed."
[lyrics recalled by sentinel prime]
“A prime in red to lead the way, To banish darkness, keep it at bay. A silver knight, with moonlit might, Will bring ruin in the dead of night. A gladiator, mad and bold, Whose's scriptures will reshape the world.
The silver gladiator shall only fall, When the leader in red stands mighty tall.”
• The first barer of The Primus Beacon is chosen shortly after: that being Magnus. And during this time Magnus and the primes train Rodimus, helping him become the next Head Prime.
•During this time, Megatron and Orion are born into their separate lives, with Orion arriving slightly later than Megatron. As Orion grows, and becomes mid-age he becomes a scribe, and formally leaves his mentor Alpha Trion behind.
• Meanwhile: Megatron, After writing numerous books and poems dedicated to his Sire, about the struggles of the lower caste, is sentenced by the Government to be reborn and is sent to Kaon to fight in the pits.
• both Megatron and Orion gain fame during this time through their speeches and writings, with some observers noting that they share similar goals but have very different methods of achieving them.
•Rodimus is eventually crowned Head Prime, but with his coronation comes an uptick in Decepticon attacks, specifically targeting high-caste buildings.
•The Primes send Rodimus to kill Megatron alone to fulfill the prophecy told by Primus, but this leads to Rodimus's disappearance and assumed death.
• After a week, Magnus steps down, and Megatron is found in a square with the Primus Beacon permanently attached to his spark, standing over the bodies of the fallen Primes.
[Current Present]
• With the Primes gone, Megatron takes control and forms a new government. Meanwhile, Orion leads the Autobots in opposition to Megaton's rule, and due to this both factions claim equal territories on Cybertron, resulting in a tense stalemate and the current predicament of their shared leadership.
