#sjmprideweek2025

[sjmprideweek]

We are very excited to announce the first SJM Pride Week!

This event will be run from February 23rd to March 1st 2025 (the week before Sydney Mardi Gras).

SJM Pride Week aims to create a safe and positive space in the fandom and highlight our amazing queer creators (and allies who make queer content ❤). 

We do not tolerate hate. Any unkind messages or comments will be deleted and will result in a block. To protect this space and our creators, we will not be airing these. 

There is always a time and place to have an in-depth discussion about representation in our favourite media, however, this is not the purpose of this event. There are always things that can be done better, but for this week we want to celebrate all the wonderful things about being queer.

We can't wait to share more!

SJM Pride Week Prompts

We're so excited to announce the prompts for SJM Pride Week 2025! All prompts are intentionally loose and open to interpretation. We've included some examples below if you need a push to get the ideas flowing.

Exploration - Is your character/ship exploring their identity, or trying something new together? 

Firsts - First crushes, first kisses, first times, first dates; was it cute and wholesome or just plain awkward?

Realisation - What made this character/ship realise their true identity? Was there a slow burn between two friends or were they suddenly overcome with gay panic? 

Gender - Does your character/ship follow traditional gender roles, or do they make their own rules? Is your character exploring different forms of gender expression? 

Family - Were their families accepting? Did they make their own family? Are they planning to have kids, if so how?

Love Language - How does this character show/receive love? Are they shut off from affection due to being hurt in the past or from fear of being rejected?

Free Day - Make this day yours, anything goes!

Friendly reminder:

♥︎ We welcome content featuring all characters, writing styles and art forms. ♥︎ Characters do not have to be canonically queer to be featured, and we support all ships. This is a PRO CRACKSHIP event - do your worst! ♥︎ Don't forget to read our event guidelines.

😏😏😏

The ACOTAR fandom is so weird because what do you mean Tamsand isn’t one of the most popular ships 🤨 Tamlin is literally on Rhysand’s mind 24/7, either this man is massively insecure, gay as fuck for Tamlin or massively insecure about the fact that Tamlin ain’t fuckin him right now and could be with someone else so he has the uncontrollable urge to tell his ex-boyfriend to kill himself. How are people not saying this is gay????

And then there’s whatever the hell is going on with the bat boys. Fucking in the same room? What you just gonna stare at each other? go one step further and just do it with each other. Stop being a coward bro 😤✋

And Azriel choking Eris, uh it’s just floor play. Don’t worry it’s cool, they have a list of dos and don’t that they made when they got married.

How can you look at Lucien ‘fire in his blood’ Vanserra and Tamlin ‘literally a big ass beast’ and go no I don’t think they have had nasty passionate sex under under a cherry blossom tree 🤓 like huh????? They’re literally roommates. Lucien lost an eye for Tamlin. Tamlin felt more betrayal over loosing Lucien than Feyre. YOUR HONOUR THEY ARE IN LOVE

Then the Valkyries…um gay too. Lesbian throuple. Come on people get creative. The girls are kissing and cuddling and having beautiful sex and you are all boring.

I have never seen a fandom go so feral for dry ass ships in my life. Literally no other fandom would ignore the plethora of gay ships.

This is your sign to stop caring about what is canon and start being fun, cool and interesting xxx

The inbox is EMPTY but not closed!

Thank you to everyone who sent in asks - sorry it took me so long to get around to them all!

I'm looking forward to ramping up the pride as we get closer to the event! 🌈✨

[sjmprideweek]

Hey there! I am excited for your Pride event, but I am also a little confused - my first instinct would be to create queer content (gay smut, trans headcanons, whatever) for characters of SJM series. But you wrote it's to celebrate queer creators? How are you imagining that? Like content dedicated to a popular creator in the fandom, but they have to be queer? But not everyone announces their sexual orientation/identity on their blog so how is that supposed to work? Or do you just have to be queer/an ally to participate? Anyway, sorry if I completely misunderstood, but I would appreciate some clarification! 😅

Hey! Thank you so much for sending in this ask - we want to answer publically in case others have the same questions.

The aim of this week is to celebrate queerness within our fandom, but you do not have to be queer to participate. There isn't any entry exam! Allies are more than welcome to join in the fun.

We'll be announcing the prompts list very soon, which will hopefully provide more clarity. SJM Pride Week will be run like any other ship/character week - but there's flexibility on the pairings due to the nature of the theme.

Our Event Guidelines have now been posted and they can be found here.

If anyone has any other questions, please feel free to reach out! This is our first event so we're learning ❤️

- Be gay, do crime xoxo

Get ready to spread some pride 🌈✨
