Harringrove for Palestine

Hello to all my lovely Harringrove people out there. I think it's time for another fundraiser. This fandom has always been amazing at doing events to help raise money for good causes; Australia, the Ukraine, Turkey to name but a few. So I wanted to see if we could bring that same love and energy to helping our siblings in Palestine.

Im going to try to build a list of writers, artists etc who are willing to create Harringrove content for donations. If you would like to be included then please DM me with your preferred medium and any specific donation sites you would prefer people send money too.

I myself will be focusing on the gofundmes that have been vetted by gazafunds.com.

I will pin the post with participants and information to my blog once I get the ball rolling.

Ok I was watching the Olympic diving finals as one does and oh my god look at the guy on the right for Australia

Tell me this is not Billy. Stare into my eyes and say that is not Billy.

Harringrove. Diving. Au. When.

I’m not an OG Harringrove person (I call myself a member of the “second wave” lol I watched ST at the end of 2019 and got into the fandom while Harringrove for Australia was popping off in 2020) but I’ve noticed a reoccurring trend in posts/mentalities.

So many of us question how to be more active in fandom. What can we do differently that will get us more interactions? Really, what can we do to be more appreciated? During my time in this fandom, I’ve gathered good news and bad news:

The good news, is that any negligence we feel, isn’t our fault. We feel like something personal is going on, but really, everyone is just living their lives. So many OG’s are older, married, have kids, and have scary big kid jobs. People’s lack of interaction with us actually has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with them just trying to successfully exist lol

The bad news is that we, for some reason, are convinced that praise is intrusive. That rolling up into someone’s tumblr mailbox is the exact same as unlocking their house and yelling, “HEY. NICE COUCH. GOOD TASTE.”

I’ve been there, and I continue to visit this imposter syndrome place, because I’m a nasty little goblin who needs to be pat on the head as much as anyone else. Now for the deep dive:

Humans are pack creatures with an intrinsic need to create. Easy examples are food, and cliff drawings. It’s not enough to eat a banana right off a tree. We take the risk of putting it to fire and creating a different flavor profile. One of the oldest pieces of human art are some animal outline carvings in the side of some Egyptian cliffs that overlook a stretch of the Nile. Archeologists and anthropologists theorize that these are the first signage we ever made: “Hey heads up, these animals live in this mile-stretch of river. Yes, there’s deer here, but also hippos. Hunt wisely.”

These two traits combine into a neediness that doesn’t know how to be satisfied. Worse, we’re in a broken society that doesn’t celebrate the artist/creative anymore (if it ever really did). And that’s so hypocritical. Artists have kept people alive and happy just as much as the hunter and cook.

We create writing, art, edits, videos, etc and share share share share share....because it’s a stupid little wacky gift of stardust in our brains. This human trait trickles down into us making our silly little fanfics and art projects of rotten characters finding peace, getting plowed after a slow-burn, or just making tea for each other.

The honest truth is that creating isn’t enough. Yes, we do it for ourselves, and we always will. We need to create the same way we need water. The unfair flip side is that we also need our pack to answer us when we ring that bell.

All I can tell you is that life is hard, and more than likely, we see the stuff you’re posting for us. And we’re wildly grateful to you. We’re just trained to think that telling you how special you are, and how grateful we are, will make you disappear.

A star died eons ago and gave us its stardust. It’s unfair that shining is hard but we do see you.

heya there!!!!! i'm new to harringrove and am now anxiously waiting for updates on lo/hi bc i love the way both of you write them (no pressure to rush btw, just wanted to let you know ^^), i was also wondering if you have any fic recs list for them

!!! Ahhhh thank you so much! Despite that it's currently in a bit of a limbo, Lo/Hi has been one of my favorite things to write and I really appreciate that you've been enjoying it!

Honestly, as a reader I mostly stick to short, absolutely filthy fics but here's a list of some that I have immensely enjoyed over the last few years~

Slow Hand by heartheartbeatbeat - fluff and smut, smut and fluff. Billy's got an arm injury and Steve offers to help him wash his hair

just like candy (she’s so sweet) by nastea (my ride or die, the other author of lo/hi) - fem!harringrove. Dinner with the Harringtons and a private bathroom stall.

Bad Dog, No Biscuits by catharrington - puppy play at Tina's Halloween party after Steve gets semi-dumped. King!Steve doing what he does best and Billy is soooo into it.

Laundry Day by nastea (actually just go read all of nastea's fics for choice, choice smut) - a communal laundry room and a loud washing machine.

kickstart my heart by hoppnhorn - vampire!Steve and werewolf!Billy and they are the perfect combination of pining and stubborn.

gimme all your kisses, baby, 'cause this is bliss by nastea and obsceme - modern, college AU. Steve and Billy go to a music festival (Coachella, basically), do a lot of drugs, and maybe like, learn a thing or two about each other?

if you don't like the company, let's just do it you and me by hoppnhorn and thecopperkid - a threesome involving OFC turns into a twosome when Steve realizes he really doesn't like to share.

u got me so horny by eternalgoldfish - modern AU, accidental-on-purpose text messaging. It's messy and hot and there's sexting.

seventh inning stretch by jill_ian - modern AU, lots of baseball references, very good very hot

Read to Me? by lemonlovely - easily the fluffiest, shmoopiest fic on this list. Valentine's Day fic, secret admirer, Billy is a romantic at heart.

Mommy Dearest by Nox_Wicked - here comes both of their mommy kinks but from like, opposite ends of the spectrum

Also! I would highly recommend going through the Harringrove For Australia tag for some AMAZING contributions to the fandom. Definitely some of my favorite fics came out of that event.

And there's definitely so many more fics that I've read and never saved but I hope these are enjoyable for you!

Hey!!!💖💖😘

🍃🧚‍♀️🎧 for the ask game!

NAT!!!!! IM yelling, what is happening today????? All my babes showing up in my inbox 🥲 not my ST bestie who I wrote my first real fic for back in my harringrove time and kind of let me/supported my writing for the first time in my life???? Could not be her back with me now 🥺

🍃 biggest turn on

There is nothing for me quite like genuine attention, not to be horny on main, but you know when people remember little details about you? Or like are happy to do things with you that you love? People who ask real questions about your interests and remember your answers??? 😮‍💨

🧚‍♀️ what calms you down

In an ideal scenario my go tos would be;

- Unmasked stimming

- Weighted blanket

- Warm cup of tea

- TV show that doesn’t require any attention paid to it (usually a cooking programme of some kind, Masterchef Australia is always a winner here)

- Knowing I can be on my own without being disturbed while I let myself recalibrate

🎧 3 songs that pop up on your Spotify shuffle

1. Rapture Chaser - Spanish Love Songs

2. Behind Closed Doors - Rise Against

3. Bleed It Out - Linkin Park

Send me an ask, yes you 👀

Harringrove for Turkey

Hello all! In efforts to do what I can, when I can, I have decided to participate in Harringrove for Turkey. If you don't know what that is, the Harringrove fandom has participated in several crowd style fundraisers over the years (notably Harringrove for Ukraine and Harrigrove for Australia) in which people can donate to humanitarian organizations in exchange for a fanwork made by a volunteer list of creators.

If you want a fanwork from me:

reblog the Harringrove for Turkery masterpost

send me a message (I am usually on mobile, so it takes me longer to see asks) detailing what you would like. My running rate is 1$ per 100 words (so for example, 3000 words would be a 30$ donation).

Once I have accepted your request, and a donation amount is agreed upon, make your donation to Disaster Tents Donations, Search and Rescue Association, Isbank of Turkey, or The White Helmets

When you have made this donation, screenshot the receipt and please sensor any personal information before sending it to me as proof of donation.

Additional information:

While this is a Harringrove based event, I am willing to discuss other prompts. I generally do not write the stranger things kids as is my personal preference. If you are unsure whether I would be comfortable with a prompt, just shoot me a message and ask. Even if I won't write it, there's no harm in asking.

With that said, my area of writing experience is harringrove. I will write nsfw. Turn around on fics depends on word count and on how much else I have to do. I will give an estimate, but I do have a real life to attend to and things come up on occasion. If go over our agreed upon word count, then you just get some additional fic for free. But you will get at least the word count we agreed upon.

Even if you cannot donate, any spreading of the word helps either through this post or the masterpost .

Thank you!

Tag Game

answer these questions, then tag people you want to get to know better.

3 ships: Even though I’ve not been super active on here, Harringrove has still almost entirely filled my heart and left barely any room for anything else but, y’know, I also kinda have a soft spot for those scientist from Pacific Rim who argue like an old married couple. Also Brotzly (Dirk/Todd from Dirk Gently). That always got me. 

first ship: Oooh we’re back in the Livejournal days now! The first ship I remember getting VERY into was Desmond/Daniel from LOST. He was his constant!

last movie: Glass Onion. I liked it. It was fun! And I finally understand some memes.

last song: If we’re not counting the awesome Guardians of the Galaxy dance workout I did, which gives me I Want You Back by the Jackson 5 (Ihni and Callie know EXACTLY what I mean) then, uh, Spotify says Half Life by Djo.

currently watching: Grand Designs is on in the background, but the last thing I paid attention to was Traitors Australia (which, yeah, I’m not proud of it...)

currently reading:  Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster by Svetlana Alexievich. Not an easy read. But a fascinating one.  currently consuming: Just finished up some lemony gnocchi with spring greens! 

currently craving: Oddly enough, some tap water with, like, a TON of different shaped ice to crunch and annoy whoever is around.  Tagging (my usual crew): @ihni, @passivenovember @callieb (seeing as I mentioned you!), @mourntheantagonist but no pressure obviously!

Thank you so, SO Much to everyone who volunteered to create fan content, who donated, who reblogged and liked and spread the word.

A reminder to post your fanworks to the harringrove for Australia collection on ao3 (and please do not mention donations/commissions/monet etc on ao3). 

All fanworks done for both harringrove for Australia AND @harringroveweekoflove​ MUST be completed by the specific dates listed on the HWOL page. ao3 gives you the option to post to more than one collection, so you can post to BOTH harringrove week of love AND harringrove for australia collections! 

All other fanworks to be completed by March 14th. 

If you tag a tumblr post with harringroveforAustralia and I miss reblogging it? Please feel free to DM me with the link of your post so I can boost it. Tumblr sucks sometimes and I’ve noticed that some posts tagged correctly haven’t shown up in the HFA tag. 

I tweeted at Dacre a few minutes ago with our results. I’ll let you know if I see a response <33
