going to be using "#spore pins" to tag posts about the pin project, for blacklisting/following purposes

trans rights beast is most requested so far, followed by spenis and handspider, but i got a couple others cooking in my little brain

here's some previews for design drafts

i'm running with a mix of ideas, mostly hard enamel for the simpler designs and various platings and plating colors. more complex designs, or designs with anodized metal/glitter will be required to be soft enamel. i will try to work with that limitation and make them look nice that way.

all pin platings will be nickel-free because nickel allergies are no fun.

i might make the spenis design glow in the dark, because a running glowing penis would be very funny.

once i get a bunch of designs drafted i will pit them against each other in a poll, because only one or two will make it to production. if it's particularly successful i might do a round 2 with the runner ups.

also, for any worries for usage with the anon pin, the njal font [which is used in the pin] is free for commercial use.

! Pride Month Challenge 2024 !

Well hi there, everyone! With May winding down to a close and June just around the corner, it's about that time again...the time where @jadedsunshine, @unicornaffair, and I host our yearly create-a-thon! 🥳

What's the Pride Month Challenge, you might find yourself asking? Well, this year it's a little bingo game we've put together, featuring some classic tropes. The aim of this particular game? Make something!!! Anything! Just get those creative juices a-flowin' and see if you can snag a B-I-N-G-O along the way!

This challenge is open to everyone and anyone who wants to take part, whether you know the three of us or not! We're going to be using the tag #pridemonthchallenge2024 for the stuff we create, so if you decide to join in on the fun and games, feel free to stick that tag on whatever you make, too! If you're interested in more details, you can check below the cut or reach out and ask ;)c

Either way, happy almost-pride, and happy creating!!!

I don't write fic - can I still participate?

Ab. So. Lutely!!! We've done this challenge for a few years now (we've missed a year or two for weddings and other life stuff, whoops!), but in the past we've had people doodle, sketch, draw, make edits, create props or other physical art, and even curate playlists! The three of us are writers, so you're very likely to see fic or ficlets from us...but you? Oh. Oh, you can do whatever your heart desires!!!

Are there word limits/expectations for a finished product?

NO!!! :D Zero. Literally zero expectations. We aren't putting together an exchange, we aren't holding a competition, we're just trying to get the spirit of creation in the air. That's it! So whether you're writing 50 words or 5,000, whether you've made a rough sketch on a notebook page or fully lined/colored a scene, you're good! You're so good. As long as you've made something, you've earned a stamp on that bingo card, baby!!!

What if I don't want to do something fandom-y? Can it be OCs/original work?

OF COURSE!!! 100%. You don't even have to ask!!! Show the world your OCs! Tell the world about your story's worldbuilding! It's all fair game :)

What if I don't want to post what I made?

Don't sweat it! Again, this is...the farthest thing from official. This is for fun, and this is for the sake of making something. Sharing your work can be nerve-wracking - don't feel like you have to! We'd love to see you playing along with us, of course, but as long as you've made something that you're proud of, you've earned that stamp! No ifs, ands, or buts!

Is it cool if my creations aren't necessarily pride-themed?

Totally! We host this challenge during pride month because (1) it traditionally works better for the three of us than NaNoWriMo because of our schedules, and (2) we're queer creators ourselves! But if you're feeling a prompt and can't find a way to make it relevant to pride, PLEASE don't sweat it! As I've been known to say (and then get laughed at for saying), this challenge is no rules, just right, Outback Steakhouse :P

Let's say I get a bingo...what do I win?

:) Nothing. <3

Wait, really?

:) Really <3 Hehehe, in all seriousness, this challenge has been a fun way for us to sit down, take our minds off of life and our bigger projects and just...make some fun stuff! In our humble opinion(s), being able to point at a finished piece and say "I did that! I made that!" is its own kind of reward. The bingo board itself is really more for bragging rights ;)c Which, of course, we encourage wholeheartedly. Nothing wrong with a little bragging!!!

We hope to have you along for our month-long adventure! Again, we're going to be using the tag #pridemonthchallenge2024 for our own stuff, so if you'd like to use that tag - or tag any of us!!! - in whatever you end up creating, feel free!!! We love seeing what everyone comes up with, and this challenge is always so much more fun, knowing other people are taking part! <3 Hope to see you along for the ride!

*The bingo board was made by the lovely @jadedsunshine 🥰

I just like writing Pacifica get to be mean and utterly unhinged. She's a good friend. A brave person and really resilient... and I don't think she ever full quits being the queen. You think someone is disrespecting this girl? No. No they are not.

the thing about kludd/nyra to me is the unreliable narrator-ness of it all. like yes you as the reader understand that this relationship is morally awful and based on power imbalances + the violation of a child but THEY certainly think their relationship is the greatest romance of all time. when kludd was like "her love makes me stronger" and it's like. no!!!! it doesn't! it leads you to your death! when nyra was like "yaaaay we can finally be together and it doesn't even matter that i'm older than him <3" like no girl it does! it matters so much!!!!!! it's so bad but they're too busy enabling each other to even notice. and they’re soooooo disgustingly happy together. so naturally i'm obsessed with them

April Fools Day Event:

a heads up for folks, this blog will be doing a 3-day "April Fools Day event" in which I'll be posting illustrations from adult lit instead of kid lit! I've been itching for a chance to celebrate other types of book illustrations because man, I just really appreciate when people decide that adult books also should be allowed pretty pictures. No picture will be in any way explicit, but in case you don't want to participate for whatever reason every post will be captioned with "🎣 April Fools Day! 🎣Illustrated Adult Lit Takeover" and tagged with #april fools day adult lit takeover
