so. i used the horizon forbidden west camera tools and will never be the same.

all they do is smile at each other this entire fucking conversation and i can't handle it

the lingering looks just kill me now

did you know there's a variant of the pre-final battle conversation with nil? it's unlocked by simply skipping over the duel entirely!

[jukeboxindie]

there's a lot hanging over aloy's shoulders in hzd and i like how nil presents himself as an outlet for her, as morally questionable as he is lmao

he gains a partner and she gets a break from her destiny for a little bit

care for another race?

"Still, I forgive. A duel is such a fleeting joy. If one of us had ended the other, we'd have missed all this." - Nil to Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn (2017)

Welcome to Niloy November 2024!

Starting November 1, use the above prompts for each day of November to create something new for Aloy x Nil. Tag #niloynovember, #niloynovember 24, or @ niloycentral for a reblog!

Special thank-you to @kittleskittle for the photomode background for this year's prompts!

What is it?

Above, you’ll find a table of one prompt per day of November, most of which contain special significance to the relationship between Aloy and Nil. For those participating, simply take the prompt and create something around it for that day.

As Niloy November starts the day after the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster release, this year's prompts lean heavily into themes between Aloy & Nil in this part of their lives - but that doesn't mean you're restricted to setting your art, fics, gifs, or photomodes during the Horizon Zero Dawn timeline! You're welcome to use them for Horizon Forbidden West and beyond as well!

What can I make?

Whatever you feel most comfortable creating!

If you’re a writer: a drabble, ficlet, even a poem! No word count minimum or maximum, but in the spirit of the event, I recommend no greater than 2500 words.

Artists can do sketches, doodles, fully rendered pieces, comic pages, whatever they are inspired (and have the time) to create.

Gif-makers, virtual photographers, and other types of visual media are also more than welcome to participate and we encourage it!

For prompts that limit gifs and virtual photography, alternates have been provided – though you are welcome to use the alternates for art and/or fic for the given dates, if they inspire you more.

In addition, you are not limited to one form of creation. If one prompt inspires art, another inspires writing, another has the perfect shot from in-game photography, feel free to mix it up!

The only ask is that whatever you create be new for the prompt. However the prompt inspires you, run with it! Some may feel “on the nose,” but those can be fun to explore metaphorically too!

What are the restrictions?

For fic submissions, please use the appropriate submission tags below the text box. All ratings are welcome provided they are properly labelled.

As per Tumblr guidelines, we cannot show any NSFW art or photomodes. If your submission contains NSFW material, please submit a suitable crop preview or censored version that can safely be displayed on Tumblr. The post will also, if possible, have a Mature community content label. This also applies for other types of Mature content.

Can I team up with someone for art or writing for a prompt?

Yes! Fics and art are welcome to inspire each other.

Where do I post?

Wherever you feel comfortable sharing. Fics should be posted on AO3 and you are welcome to share the link on your own social media or in a server. Mostly, I encourage you to submit it directly to the niloycentral tumblr.

If you have a Tumblr: You can submit it directly to niloycentral, or tag your post with either #niloynovember or #niloynovember24 – both will be tracked! You can also @niloycentral.

If you don’t have a Tumblr: You can submit the art or photomode itself directly, or link to your creation on other social media (Twitter, Instagram, AO3, wherever it is hosted) through our niloycentral submissions page using the following format:

Creator: your @(social media) or your alias

Prompt: what day/prompt you have submitted

Plus any applicable tags as per checkboxes below the submission area.

#niloynovember and #niloynovember24 will also be tracked on Twitter, but to make sure we see and catch everything, I encourage submissions to niloycentral Tumblr!

Do I have to do every prompt?

We don’t want anyone to get burnt out or frustrated. Some prompts will inspire more than others and we all have days where we just can’t. You definitely don’t have to do every prompt to be included! Your creation will be featured whether you do all 30, or 19, or 12, or if you even only do 1. You’re more than welcome to continue working on the prompts after November as well.

Do I have to do them in order?

No… but if you do submit to the blog for a prompt from later in the month, we will schedule your submission to post on the proper day (based on EST). Any submissions from previous-day prompts will be posted as usual.

Prompts are being released now, but we ask that you do not post until November 1.

Happy creating!
