#thank you for such an amazing october!

[starshinedreamer]

And THANK YOU for all of your creations as well! I love how creative you are with every piece you make, and I really enjoyed viewing your art this month! You are such a wonderful person and I'm so happy to have met you this month!🥰😁

Here are some other amazing artists from this month that I want to show my appreciation to :) (sorry if I tag you and you're already tagged in this post).

@kitzeeee @nightyraven-art @ora-illustration @lonksadventures @proxycrit @thetoyboxs @clowns0up-felix @hibbeln

Wait...

It's November. It's November first. Yesterday was October 31st, so October is over. ...it's over. Is it over?

Inktober, artober, whumptober, flufftober, linktober, every tag ending with -tober that's been circulating for the past month... is it over? I don't know why it's just hit me but...

This matters. So I will try to get the message across, even though I'm not the best at it sometimes

Fanartists, fan writers, artists, fic writers, people making comics, every single one of you that has created art for the past month...

Thank you

This is my first October on tumblr. When I started seeing the "tober" tags, seeing the posts from artists with wips, saying they were going to make something every day to a prompt, making masterposts to update with each day, I thought "cool"

But every day this month, I have gotten on here and smiled.

And I don't mean smiled. I mean I smiled at least 20 times every time I got on the app because I saw all the art and fics. I got to see artists/writers connect stories through different day prompts. I saw people having the most brilliant ideas and creativity, flowing from their hands into their posts. I saw artists responding to continuous asks, telling them how amazing they are. I saw artists getting behind, and keeping going.

I saw Free. Beautiful. Emotional. Amazing. Original. Creative. Art.

Every day

I haven't committed to anything of this before, so I can't directly relate to what you guys were thinking and feeling. But I'm willing to guess; I think you probably enjoyed it, because most won't do such a huge project unless they enjoy it. I think you probably saw it as a challenge you were willing to fulfill, and an opportunity to grow and develop your skills.

... but I'm also willing to bet you did it for us. For people like me, who love art, but don't do this specific type, who are in fandoms, who love tracking and watching you art and sending you compliments, who take joy in your work. For the other artists (and writers!) who admire each others styles and love to learn from each other.

If anyone ever tries to tell me that humans are inherently evil again, I will strap them to a chair, pull up these posts and say look. Look at what these people did. Look me in the eyes and tell me these sorts of actions don't come from the most loving hearts. Tell me these people don't want to make others happy, that they aren't inherently good. And I will tell you you're wrong.

I have so much going on, yet somehow it slipped into my life that I was constantly looking at your art for the joy of it without me even noticing.

And how is it possible. That we have such a beautiful community of people here that we will share. And communicate. And exchange compliments. And literally do things and send asks solely for the purpose of making someone smile.

I'm almost crying by now. God I can't express it well enough! But I am so. So. Grateful

You guys brought me a month of joy! You gave headcanons, and art, and stories!

Even yesterday, Halloween, I was blown away. Because I had expected... I didn't expect anything. And then I log on and see people sending happy halloween asks, exchanging doodles of candy, and headcanons and gifs.

And some are still catching up to the schedule or whatever, and that's ok! But at the beginning of this post, when I was simply realizing it was November, I asked myself "is it over?"

Is it over?

... I don't think so. I've seen artists say they're going to continue and expand on a piece they made and especially liked this month. Some people are still continuing, catching up to a voluntary deadline. All those masterposts with your whump/fluff/link/ink tober art? I know many as well as myself will be going through, looking over your posts with smiles, catching up on some things they missed this month... it will continue in the people and artists I didn't know existed before, but now follow. In the skills and growth in creativity! In the community we've grown, and art you've made, and the art to come, at a normal rate like every other month, even if it's not October anymore!

But my artists, writers... thank you so much. I don't know if you guys know how valuable and amazing you are. How incredible it is that you exist! People say it's amazing we exist under a sky of such stars, but how incredible is it that you made a stranger on the internet smile every day! Your life is so. So. Valuable. I can't even express how grateful I am that you exist, that you somehow are selfless enough to share the most beautiful parts of yourself simply to create, and to create joy. Thank you so so much.

(And this applies to all artists, in any fandoms, not just mine. And I'm just as grateful to people who couldn't do something every day, or only one day! You still share your art, you're just as... incredible. You are incredible.)

Okay.

So I'm gonna do this, and if others want to do it in the reblogs that's great! I do not care at all about reblogging or likes, but I want to make the people that have brought me such joy some appreciation- I hope I can bring you even a smidgen of the light you have brought into my life. So I'm gonna tag all the artists/writers I know of/can think of that have done any sort of October challenge, all of you creators that have made me smile. If people wanna want to tag others in the reblogs or replies to spread love that's cool.

(Basically I don't know social customs or anything at all, so if you don't want me to tag or if I was supposed to do something different or something let me know I have no idea what I'm supposed to do)(if I like accidentally tagged someone who isn't an artist/writer or forgot someone I follow... sorry)

@skyward-floored @kikker-oma @adrift-in-thyme @blueskittlesart @zeldaseyebrows @smilesrobotlover @bahbahhh @soso-dedeck @lennsart @arecaceae175 @illcamp @breannasfluff @solarfire-art @26kabeuchi @cathianemelian @truffeart @scribbly-z-raid @uniquevoidflowers

To all the artists and writers out there: thank you so much!!! You are amazing and I'm glad you exist. Your life is precious, and you matter. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty with us, we love you too!!!!!

... yeah. Just want yall to feel loved... because you are. Again, thank you. Thank you so so much to my beautiful creators who create joy as well as art, who keep storytelling alive. Just... thank you.

:)

MERAAAAAAAAA

АLIEN STAGEEEEEE

T_T and in a blink just like that he’s gone…… AAAAAAA MY HEART. This final tore it out of my chest and completely devoured it. I desperately wanted Till to win, but then how could he compete with Luka, someone who has won before, knows how to play the game, and thrives in the spotlight?? WAAA HE WAS SO INSANE FOR IMITATING IVAN AND THROWING TILL OFF. AND WHEN MIZI APPEARED….. that scene with the two of them hiding,, how her appearance filled him with momentary hope. The fact that no matter what Till will always choose Mizi and chase after her. IvanTill really is unrequited. They make me so sick. I’m so devastated for them. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

AND THE CONTRAST WITH TILL’S ELECTRIC GUITAR AND LUKA’S VIOLIN?!??!?!?! It had me watching my screen like this:

Luka was so pretty in this round and Till looked so cool….. and of course the song is a banger!!!

Y'ALL. My One Piece one year anniversary is fast approaching. Actually bonkers that it's been an entire year already

[ouattober]

Good morning/day/night to you! Welcome to

🎉OUATTOBER 2024🎉

now I don't have a fancy graphic just yet, so instead you're getting the first few prompts here under the cut- three of them in case you want to combine them into today. More on that at the bottom of the post. For now, the prompts!!!

Day 1: the Yellow Bug

Day 2: Storybrooke

Day 3: Mirror/Mirrors

PLEASE interpret these however you'd like! Even though they are relevant to the first season of the show, you can pull from ANYWHERE in the timeline. For example, we first see the yellow bug when Emma drives Henry home in the pilot, but we don't see how she got it until seasons later! (and then in season 5 it's the place where she sees... "an old friend.")

ALTERNATIVES if you really don't like a prompt:

Your favorite:

- character

- duo (platonic)

- ship (romantic)

- trio

- group

- location

- symbol/object

All you need do is post your creation with the tag #ouattober2024 and #day1 or #fave[fill in the blank depending on which alternative prompt you picked!] you can also tag me @ouattober or @devotedgossamerreader to make sure i see it. Thanks for being a part of this <3

P.S. it's not expected for you to have time to create something every day, so if you know you'll be busy tomorrow but you dont wanna miss a prompt, here you go. Both going ahead of the current day and catching up after the day has passed are 100% allowed and encouraged! While I'm only going to reblog content that pertains to the prompt for the day, I'm thinking of having an hour or so once a week where I reblog all submissions regardless of theme. It'll be our grace day/alternatives day. We're all just here to share the love for this show!

i have gotten my drafts down to *squints* four things with the oldest being from 22 aug rip we're not going to talk about how many memes i've hoarded

[startreklasirena]

@regionalpancake Someone is on a mission!✨

If anybody else wants to add posts to the collective queue as well just tag me 😁

(I have a somewhat specific order in mind for the first few posts, but after that I'll probably just hit the "shuffle queue" button repeatedly. I am not patient or organized to impose any kind of theme or order on all of this 😅)

[i-drop-level-one-loot]

New calendar alert!! 🐴DAN AND PHIL AND A TINY HORSE 2025💕

Hello Dan and Phil Neighs! You've seen dogs. Cats. Now: Dan and Phil and ..A Tiny Horse

Presenting - the Dan and Phil and A Tiny Horse 2025 Calendar

Meet Teddy - the miniature Shetland. We knew if we were ever going to do another calendar we had to take it up a notch ..and we took it way down.. to where this horse is. Keep track of your life or just impeccably decorate your space with the unparalleled beauty of 12 months of horse fashion photography! Enjoy themes such as Floral Midsommar July:

Or Spectral Equine October:

It is a completely valid and factually correct opinion that not only is Teddy nicer to look at than us, but he may be the most ridiculously gorgeous and photogenic animal on the entire planet, and you simply need this in your life.

Whether you use it as a functional date calendar, or just use the top half as a 12 page seasonally rotating calendar that you can use for the rest of your life, we hope you enjoy it as much as we cherished our time with Teddy.

If you want to see the behind the scenes tears of joy you can watch our vlog here!! https://youtu.be/pbE1u_SgiOA

Shoutout to Linda Blacker for yet again being an amazing animal photographer, and Divine Gnosis for the stunning graphic design.

And as a SUPER LIMITED ADDED BONUS - for anyone who needs that electric horsepower in their life we have this black tee with a bootleg power metal design:

Hell yeah. Don't talk to me or my tiny horse ever again.

Confluence is a TTRPG like nothing you’ve experienced before: A genre-blending game of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, built to tell collaborative character and place-driven stories. Ajurea is world of meeting, where strange phenomena called Confluxes Pull people, objects, and even entire cities together across 700,000 years of time and over 40 worlds. In this first release, players experience the region of Motley Coast exploring the kaleidoscopic coast, to the underwater labyrinths, to the floating forest-cities, where everything here is constantly changing. Prepare to change with it.✨

Thought I'd make something silly, cause can't believe it's finally here, next WEEK!! This project has taken up much of my artistic life these last three years, as Art lead. Illustrations, Ephemera, doodles and covers, you name it, I've been making it (alongside our amazing Layout artist Cris Viana), to make the rich and dragonology-style book all TTRPG's deserve! ✨ I'm so excited for everyone to finally get a chance to get their hands on the books we've been making, see all the art and creatures I've made! Confluence drops on Backerkit on the 15th of October at 8am PDT (we even have a little prelaunch party here!) and you can signup for our prebacker list here! Hope to see you there! And any boosts, reblogs and sending out these links to folks you think would love this unique game (or even just a book of my art lol), it's so appreciated!! Thank you all!✨✨

I was inspired by @euryalex to spotlight a Palestinian fundraiser. The talented young man you see up there is inline skater Hani Al-Hajjar aka @skatehani and he needs help to get his family to safety.

After their house was destroyed on October 13th, his family became displaced, living in tents. On September 15th, he lost his father due to the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital. His father was suffering from kidney failure and passed away due to lack of treatment. He was the breadwinner of their family. Now Hani is responsible for his family, which consists of 10 members, including 3 minors, and his 18-year-old brother. The rest are his sisters, including two toddlers (2 and 3 year old).

His GFM has been vetted (#75 on this list). The last week there have only been 4 donations and it's currently at €33,272 out of the €50,000 goal.

DONATE HERE

If you can send money (every cent helps!) or just reblog & spread the word, that would be amazing. Thank you! ❤️🇵🇸
