This is really important guys

ICE raids are set to start as soon as tuesday (JAN 21, 2025) in Chigago so make sure you know your rights, your community, and your plan.

ICE MUST have a warrant to search/enter any property. they will lie and manipulate you to allow them on the premises but if they arent holding a valid document in their hands they cannot legally do anything

They may say something like "our warrant is in the truck," tough shit, have them bring it to you, DO NOT FOLLOW THEM ANYWHERE. Do not leave your property if confronted.

If you are taken, say nothing until a lawyer is present. The exception is if there are bystanders present/filming, then you should shout your name and whats happening

If you are witnessing a raid in your community, wait to warn others via phone as the cops may be monitoring nearby communications and may use that to select their next targets. Warn by code or word of mouth

escape if the opportunity presents itself, but dont be stupid.

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year, and we hope all those celebrating had a wonderful holiday season. And of course, we hope your 2025 is amazing!

This is a shorter update, but we’d like to share that we’ve brought on even more new people to help us ramp up progress on artwork! We are also pouring focus into finishing three of the routes- one of which is nearing completion! If only we had a sneak peek, oh WAIT-

There’s one down below!

We are still working on re-developing the demo, and hopefully you enjoy more tid bits of content from us!

See you next month!

As many of you know, When Twilight Strikes is coming up on its anniversary. I like to celebrate the event on the day I posted my intro post, rather than the day the first demo came out, purely because it feels like that was the day the concept of WTS was birthed into the world. Which means on February 24th, this project will officially turn 4 years old!! Crazy.

To celebrate, I toyed with the idea of releasing extra stories as I've done before, but I didn't want to be put off track of Chapter 12 again, so, instead, I'll be hosting an artist event where you can post your creations to be entered to win some prizes!!

RULES

Limit two entries per user. Winners will be decided in a draw.

The entry must fall under one of the prompts listed.

The entry must be tagged under #WTS4Year.

All forms of art count, including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, comic strips, fanfics, music creations and more. Feel free to message me for clarification!

PROMPTS

CHAPTER: Give your version or interpretation of an existing scene. For example, portray meeting Mirai from Chapter 7 in a visual form or from another character's POV.

FRIENDSHIP: Display the friendship between your hunter and one or more ROs, canon or non-canonical. It could be a comedic approach or something more heartwarming.

ROMANCE: Depict a romance between your hunter and an RO. You could show a domestic scene further into the relationship or your interpretation of how they'll get together.

FREEFORM: If none of the prompts speak to you, feel free to come up with something else <3

PRIZES

1st Place (1 Winner): A personalized drabble with an RO of your choice + a 1-month subscription to the highest tier on my Patreon*

2nd Place (2 Winners): A 1-month subscription to the highest tier on my Patreon*

3rd Place (2 Winners): A 1-month subscription to the second highest tier on my Patreon*

*If the winner is already subscribed, an alternative prize can be discussed.

I look forward to seeing all your creations! Thank you for all your support throughout the years. I'm so incredibly grateful for everything and what this story has become. Talk to you soon <3

[endomentendo]

How are you holding up so far?

TW: I DONT EVEN KNOW

To reassure everyone I am getting the help and support that I need. My friends and family have been the best in keeping me in my feet and I wish them all the love and support I hope to return forever.

Please don’t worry about me, I’m okay really. Thank you all for the support.

[couldtheycatchkira]

Hm... I see there's a bit of confusion regarding motivation TO solve... Do keep in mind that I've already hired all of these high-quality individuals (or, in some cases, were hired for me), so we should hope the qualifier of "would want to" is ultimately irrelevant.

[codywancomfort]

We now have an AO3 collection here if you'd like to add any codywan comfort works to it.

[alelathedragon]

Oh yeah its probably important to have this as an announcement so

Regarding the Mr.Puzzles AU Tumblr Sexyman tournament

Right now it DOES NOT- have a set deadline for when I'm releasing it

I wanted to give every creator time to make their own self promotion art for their Mr.Puzzles!! Not only am I holding off so everyone can make art but Im holding off because @alex-dolmatescu2-0 and @bidinonsense (sorry i forgot your ping)

have been making a large picture for the event!!!

I am ALSO doing something large for the event!!! Not to mention working on my own Puzzles Propaganda-

A lot of love is going into this silly lil event! So dont look away!!! We'll be right back/ref

my favorite comedy is US politics because as scary as it is, this is also a fucking joke

⚠️ IF YOU ARE LATINO OR HISPANIC, OR KNOW ANYONE LATINO OR HISPANIC LIVING IN CHICAGO, EVACUATE WITH YOUR PASSPORT, PETS, AND IMPORTANT BELONGINGS ASAP.

Donald trump has officially announced that ICE will be carrying out the first detainment raid within Chicago, Illinois, on Tuesday, January 21st. This raid will consist of at least 300 armed ice officers, who will target immigrants, they say illegal only but let’s be honest, they will target anyone they can. Those detained will be the first people selected to be deported in the trump administrations Hitlerian mass deportation plan as laid out in the project 2025 manifesto. This is truly a horrific day in American history, and it sets a precedent of lawlessness and unchecked dictatorship in action that will be unopposed and ruthless. Stay safe, and I’m so, so fucking sorry. If anyone has any resources they can add to this to aid those who will evacuate, please reblog this with links to those resources.

[ao3topshipsbracket]

Welcome to the Unofficial Top Femslash Ships Bracket!

Many people on Tumblr might have engaged in the practice of "shipping" in relation to "media". Some, according to legend, even have opinions on these matters.

If the above happens to apply to you, you might be eligible to vote in this bracket! We have pitted the most popular femslash pairings against each other to see who will emerge victorious. Finals, as well as the bronze poll, drop on Tuesday, January 21st at 4PM PST, and will run for three days.

Check current vote counts here!

FAQ:

How was the bracket made and seeded?

This bracket was made with a combination of centreoftheselights' Ao3 data, the Tumblr 2024 Year in Review list, and a few notes of historical interest, and seeded according to the results of this survey!

What are your stances on voter fraud, campaigning, bribing people with drabbles and/or art, etc?

Enthusiastically in favor! We do, however, ask that you don't DDOS Tumblr, and ideally don't commit any murders that can be traced back to us.

I have an issue with [x] being included in this poll.

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with some of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement of anything included in the bracket, and refrain from harassment.

In general, please remember that this is intended to be a fun time for the wide community which is fandom culture, and treat each other with respect!

Bracket Schedule!

I'm back (Tentatively)

Well that was a horrible 7 days. Not sure what I had but it had me laid out for a week! I'm now feeling mostly alright again so I'm going to get back to regular writing. No devlog today, but expect one tomorrow.

Bye!

[socialshakespeare]

Welcome, New Admins!

Social Shakespeare is thrilled to welcome long-time leaders @actorinfluence, @astrangergivingthestrangewelcome, @cobbled-vibrance, and @mariposagal to our admin team. If you've read with us before, you've probably read with them too, so you might have some idea how awesome they are. Say hi!

In other news - who wants to pick our next play?

[greater-than-the-sword]

Crab Day!!!

Where:

Here on Tumblr!!

What:

Buy crabs!

Why:

As we now know, Tumblr is $30 million dollars in debt. Oops. Tumblr has announced some major (and unpopular) changes to the site in their attempt to get back above water. The alternative is that Tumblr ceases to exist. But maybe we can change that...

How:

There are 327 million unique tumblr visits per month, and almost 500 million active accounts. If 10 million unique users (or less, if we bought more than one) bought or gifted Crabs from the Tumblr store, we could knock out Tumblr's debt easily. Buy crabs!

When:

July 29, 2023 is Crab Day, running through August 5 (for anyone who can't log on that day) as Crab Week!

Who:

Everyone!! If you truly can't afford to participate with a $3 crab, (or other item from the shop) post crab memes!

Time for Tumblr users to rise again and surprise everyone...

[bixels]

I'll be participating in a charity livestream with other storyboard artists to raise money for careforgaza and e-sims! @tulliok and I will be live on the 4th, 5PM PST (8PM EST). Check the list above; artists such as @kianamaiart and @mak-to-the-future will be participating as well on either the 3rd or 4th.

Now's your chance to make me sketch a 1920s AU design of an MLP character I would have otherwise never designed!

Like this guy.

🇵🇸🕊️

[meo-eiru]

Hello everyone!!

So you all know I've been a bit inactive due to preparing a "surprise". Well, I think it's time I announce what it is!

For over a month now me and my lovely friend Sel (whom i'll be tagging later) have been working on a visual novel for the Monstrous Desires game jam!

The game will be released a little before the 10th of November!

The dark and doomed love story of two beings yearning for what they don't have

Please look forward to it🧜‍♂️

[bonelyheartsclub]

Howdy, everyone!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it! We apologize for the radio silence, as there’s been a lot of shuffling and getting things done behind the scenes. Rest assured; the game is still on its way toward completion!

To start things off, we’ve been in the process of getting things organized on our end. Our lovely coordinator has been hired and has been doing a lot of the back-end work to get us in shape and ready to finish the game. Unfortunately, our initial goal of all assets being completed by the end of 2024 is no longer a likely goal as a result, but things should be a lot faster going forward.

It’s not all bad news, though! With things well underway, we’ve got a few more surprises that we hope to release to you soon. The demo re-release will be on its way hopefully by early next year, with some updated art that we hope you’ll all enjoy! Plus, maybe some new dialogue, if you know where to find it ;)

As one last note, we’ll also be giving quarterly updates starting today! We want to keep our fans better informed, and we’re sorry for letting things fall by the wayside. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the content we bring you soon…with maybe some surprises in tow.

Thank you all for following our game, and we hope that you enjoy the final product on its release!
