Woooo!!! YAY! YEEHAW!!! We're getting part one of The Great Debate on YouTube tomorrow!

WE DID IT

[raftersomefood]

Solve It Squad enjoyers,

I see the pool of fics on Ao3 is rather sad looking, so what if I promise a flood of fics if the Tinlightenment campaign reaches 180k by Thursday?

Featuring my own ideas AND requests

What if I promise longer fics should the campaign reach 200k before Saturday? Minimum 5k words sound nice?

[spigosaur]

I might open up commissions to spend more money on the tinlightenment kickstarter (which you should go support here)

🙏 CALL FOR ARTISTS/WRITERS/MUSICIANS IN THE TIN CAN FAM 🙏

As many of you might be aware, the Tinlightenment Kickstarter is currently a little halfway over, but only 40% funded. This is... not great. While we'll definitely pick up some steam towards the end, that won't be enough to carry us past the finish line unless we get to a pretty good place before then. And the third quarter of kickstarters can be notoriously slow.

As such, I'm launching two projects fueled by fan-generated backer rewards to help encourage more pledges.

Project One is going to be a collected list of all artists/writers/musicians/ect. willing to do a small project (a request-style drawing, a drabble, a jingle, etc.) for anyone who dms them proof that they either have just pledged a certain amount, or else just upped their pledge by that number. Each creator will get to choose the dollar amount for themselves, and is invited to do so based on evaluation of the time and effort they will put into each individual request, but the typical price seems to be five dollars. If you are already doing this, please let me know and I'll add you to the list. If you're interested in starting, DM me and we can chat details and I'll add you to the list as well. To be clear, you will not be asked to make a project for every single person--just those who specifically reach out to you with a request.

But if multiple smaller projects isn't really your style and you'd rather contribute a singular, larger piece, no worries! I direct you to...

Project Two, a SWEEPSTAKES GIVEAWAY! Essentially, anyone who sends me proof that they've just pledged/upped their pledge by five bucks will be entered into a giveaway sweepstakes (submissions not yet open). While the grand prize will be any item from the StarCanWrecked merch shops, I would love to offer some other fan generated prizes as well. @booigi-boi has agreed to offer a free head-shot commission as a prize, and I would be over the moon to get even more artists, musicians, or writers involved. So if you'd be happy to give away one free commission as part of this prize pool, please DM me! I'd be happy to discuss details and get you added to this second list.

(Depending on the success of this little endeavor, I would like to use it as a work-out-the-kinks dry run for a similar fundraising event for Palestine that I would hold a month or two down the road (after American tax season). If you're not interested in helping TCB but would be interested in such a charity drive, please get in touch as well!)

(All DMs should be sent to man-down-in-hatchet-town)

Even if you aren't an artist/willing to participate, reblogs are GREATLY appreciated to help spread the word!

Now let's get FUNDRAISING!

🙏 TCB WITH YOU! 🙏

[booigi-boi]

It's missing Tinlightenment hours ✨ TC-B with you 🙏

I'm still on the holy yacht, guys, can someone come get me ?

[smytherines]

I know the Tin Can Bros were looking for the rich gays (understandable), but I just want to give a little shoutout to all the poor gays who gave as much as they could and/or posted about tinlightenment as much as they could.

Shoutout to all the poor gays who know they won't be able to go to the live events, but are hoping to buy digital tickets & just want to support this thing however they can because they love Spies Are Forever, Solve It Squad, This Could Be On Broadway, Wayward Guide, and all of the other amazing stuff TCB has given us over the last ten years.

We may not have a lot of money (or any money) but I'm willing to bet the poor gays showed up in numbers for this campaign- both on social media and in the kickstarter.

You matter too. Your contributions and enthusiasm and dedication helped to make this happen. Shoutout to the poor gays. TCB with you 🙏

In honor of Cinderella’s Castle opening, I call upon this video @curtmega made some time ago…

Curt Mega | In honor of us all achieving Tinlightenment, here’s my VERY specific head-canon about why Agent Mega might have a kid. This is not endorsed… | Instagram

…and introduce to you a little original idea I’ve been brewing up. Because I’m insane. Aren’t I so normal?

Introducing: Sharon Booker !!

my sweet little angel who is so so so dastardly

And here’s a cheesy little backstory blurb:

The year is 1946

Sent on a covert operation to expose Illinois Senator Jackson Booker of corrupt dealings with foreign countries, Agent Curt Mega finds himself in the company of the Senator’s daughter, Elizabeth Booker. Willing to spread her father’s gossip in the right company, Curt does what he has to for the sake of the country.

Nine months later, Sharon Janelle Booker is born to a single, disgruntled, and now disinherited mother.

Sharon grew up in Chicago, attending a number of public schools in her lifetime- before finally being exiled to St Agatha’s School for Girls. Sneaking cigarettes during mass, sticking gum on the crucifixes, and getting into fights with the other girls, Sharon was labeled a teenage delinquent the moment she turned 13.

The only thing that could calm this troubled teen’s soul was none other than her favorite Saturday afternoon Spy Drama- Agents of Doom. Delighting in the secret world of espionage, Sharon found escapism in the daring adventures of Agent Maverick Wolfee.

Growing up without a father and a mother who- to put it lightly- wasn’t much involved, Sharon made it her mission to track down the man who made her. Using every resource available to her (see: phonebooks), she managed to locate a Curtis Mega living in a bachelor pad in Queens. Very glamorous.

Meanwhile, the year is 1963. Curt Mega, after being fired from the CIA, has made it his personal mission to track down the remaining scraps of CHIMERA and take them down. Living in New York temporarily, the last thing he expected was a 17 year old girl to arrive at his apartment building, soaking wet and claiming to be his illegitimate daughter.

His mission just got a whole lot more complicated.

Here’s her Spotify playlist bc it’s kind of a banger:

(Curt Mega if you see this don’t banish me to the cringe dimension I am simply a Man obsessed with the 60s 🙏🙏)

Tinlightened Drawing Requests!!!

🙏✨️🙏✨️🙏✨️🙏✨️🙏

Hey! If you back the Tin Can Brothers' kickstarter (linked here) and send me proof that you have pledged at least $5 (or increased your pledge) then I will do a little drawing for you!

I'm open to drawing anything in the StarCanWreckedPulp family! Love it all, and there's a lot I haven't gotten around to art-ing for so you'll be doing me a favor by sending me a request, honestly.

Here are the drawings I've done for some wonderful backers already, to give you an idea of what you could be getting.

you can find more of my work here -> @jackalope-t-m

but wait!!! there's more!!!

If you give me a drawing request and you show proof that you've kept your pledge through to the end of the kickstarter, then I'll draw something else for you!!! if you want!!! :D

that's right!!! TWO DRAWINGS!!!!

they're yours if you want em, just send a few bucks to our favorite Bros!

oh btw, you could get similar deals with other creators if you're interested! just take a peek at @tinlightenment-creator-crusade for a list of artists & writers. there's also a handy guide for how to show proof that you've pledged!
