[shouta-aizawow]

ummmmm 28! if you don't mind

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

Idm at all, and yes!! I’ve participated in a lot!! I started joining fan events in February of last year, and I have spreadsheet to keep track of the events where I‘ve had to sign up

I’m looking at my spreadsheet sheet for this, and I’m too tired to make sure I didn’t miscount but:

For fanweeks/months, I’ve participated in about,,, 3?? I’ve run three as well. Two different themes, but one I ran both last year and this year, and there’s one that’s gonna happen in January ( @babybakuweek on twit and tumblr for shameless promo). The previous weeks were @bakuiidaweek on twitter and tumblr!

Exchanges: 10, but I’m probably gonna sign up for an 11th within the next two days

Big Bangs: 7

Auto-Acceptance Zines (everyone is accepted): 7.5 (the .5 is bc I got autoaccepted to a side zine and they ended up putting everyone on the main zine)

Other Zines: 3

I’ve also participated in a bingo challenge where you get nine boxes each with a trope and each piece you make checks off one

I currently have 7 pieces I need to finish, but I have lots of time. 5 for zines, 1 for a bang, and 1 for an exchange (gonna be two after I post this maybe)

I’ve been rejected by about 31 zines (technically 27 bc 4 of those I was accepted as a pinch hitter, but I was never needed). Tbh it doesn’t make me too upset (even tho it’s a little embarrassing to say), just makes me want to work harder bc I know that I’m nowhere near the same level as some of the people accepted. It makes the acceptances even better XDDD

Wise men say 

Only fools rush in

But I can’t help falling in love with you

Sally lugged the passed out man onto the beach, checking to see thankfully he was still breathing. She would admit it was a shock to her when a human sank deep into her part of the ocean and for some reason or other did not seem to want to swim up. At first, the mermaid considered maybe just letting the human drown - after all, humans were always after her scales for their strange potions and often wanted to kidnap her anyway. Sweet revenge.

But her heart didn’t want revenge, instead, it urged her to show him mercy and be kind, and maybe in return, he’d be the same. Now, changing into her human form as her necklace flashed around her neck, she looked down at the human, watching him slowly breathe in and out, his dark brown locks messed and halfway covering his right eye. When suddenly his eyes snapped open as he looked around, they made eye contact as they both let out a loud scream, scrambling for weapons. “What.. what are you?!”

“Gee, a thanks would be nice for saving your life.”

“Saving my… where’s Tommy and Tubbo?!” The human said, looking around desperately for the two people he was asking for.

“Who?”

“My brothers, they were with me when we got cornered and had to jump. Where are they?” He asked, panicked.

“If they weren’t with you they must be upstream. They’re probably looking for you, come on.” She huffed, throwing down the rock she used as a makeshift weapon and walking over to hold her hand out and help the man to his feet. He hesitated before taking hers, both just staring into each other’s eyes for a moment before she began to walk past with a huff.

“Thank you.”

Sally turned around, surprised to hear the human say that as she absentmindedly tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. “Uh… thanks.” She said, a smile spreading across her lips.

----------------------------------------------

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can’t help falling in love with you?

“Alright Wilby, you’re going down,” Sally smirked as she adjusted her grip on the wooden sparring sword, her long hair up in a ponytail. Wilbur, on the other hand, smirked confidently. 

“Oh really? You underestimate my power, young padawan.” They both chuckled a bit at the joke before rushing forward, swords clashing together. Wilbur pushed against Sally’s sword as she lost balance and stumbled backward, Wilbur rushed to pin her to the floor before she jumped, just missing his strike and holding her wooden sword above her head to bring it down in a downward strike. Wilbur moved back just in time to dodge as he dashed forward, pinning her against a tree. “It’s no use - you’re a trapped sardine, or salmon more like.” He chuckled as she struggled against his grip, her sword on the ground.

Just a few feet away in some bushes, two teenage boys watched intently. “What are they doing?”

“Sparring, duh.”

“Why is she blushing then?”

“Huh…?”

Sally bit her lip as she weighed her options, a smirk appearing on her lips. “I know there’s only one way out of this one, Wilby. One way you’ll never resist.”

“Oh yeah, what’s-?” Sally pushed her lips against Wilbur’s, making him weak in the knees as sally effortlessly tossed his sword to the ground as well, focusing on the kiss before Wilbur grabbed her wrists and pinned them up against the tree trunk. “That’s cheating!”

“Yeah, I’d like to see the rulebook!”

Back in the bushes, Tubbo’s eyes lit up. “I know what this is: They’re flirting.”

“What’s flirting?”

“I think it’s when you try to make someone blush. They’re blushing because they’re sick. Philza told me.”

“Sick?”

“Yeah, lovesick. I think it’s like the flu.”

-------------------------------------------

“Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be.”

Wilbur’s voice echoed through the dusk as Sally walked through the candlelit path, hearing Wilbur’s singing. Tubbo had passed her a note that said to meet Wilbur at the mountain before the messenger promptly jumped into the bushes humming the Mission Impossible theme. Walking up the mountain, the wind whipped her long hair around as Sally pulled her sweater closer to herself to get warmer. What in the world did Wilbur want with her all the way up here?

As she turned the corner she felt like she couldn’t breathe, as her world stopped and slowed. There Wilbur sat in what looked to be a worn grey suit, playing his guitar with a white lily, her favorite, wedged tightly in between the strings. Seeing her, he smiled, moving closer and leaning his guitar against the tree as he freed the lily, brushing her hair back behind her ear and safely tucking the lily in her hair. Her breaths caught in her throat as his hand moved to cup her cheek. “You look beautiful.”

“I-” Sally felt her cheeks heat up at the comment as she stammered, trying to change the topic. “You sent for me?”

“I had something to ask you, yes,” Wilbur said, lightly taking her hand in his as he leads her toward the edge where he was to see the stars begin to blink into existence. Wilbur took a deep breath. “We’ve been dating for a while now, and I was wondering… do you want to be my girlfriend?”

“Yes… I… nothing would make me happier than being with you, Wilby.”

-----------------------------------------------------

Take my hand

Take my whole life too

For I can’t help falling in love with you

“Wilbur, I’m pregnant,” Sally admitted, her hand still not letting his move from her belly. “It’s yours, Wilby.”

Wilbur brushed his hands through Sally’s hair, moving to cup her cheek, eyes darting back and forth. “Pregnant…?” He said, hopeful. It was their third day in Dream SMP - they’d been together for so long and had always wanted a family, but it never seemed to work no matter what they did. It seemed almost impossible to hear those words out of Sally’s mouth because for a long time Wilbur thought he’d never hear them. But here they were.

“We’re having a baby, Wilbur.” Sally smiled, leaning in against Wilbur’s chest and snugly putting her head between his neck and shoulder, wanting to be as close to him as possible. “You’re gonna be a Dad…”

Wilbur felt tears of joy go down his cheeks as he laughed softly, pulling Sally closer to rest her body against his fully, cuddling her close. His hands rubbed gently on her stomach, and he leaned up to kiss her softly on the neck. Their other hands interlocked tightly. “How… how long?”

“Three months. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fluke before I told you.”

“I’m gonna be a Dad…” Wilbur sighed, kissing Sally’s cheek softly. “You’re gonna be a Momma.”

“I know. I didn’t believe it when I found out either. I was worried they’d… but they didn’t. They’re still here.”

“My little champion, my little warrior…” Wilbur smiled, tears going down his cheeks as he looked down at Sally’s stomach. “Don’t stop fighting now, okay? You’ve got so many people who’ve been waiting so long to finally meet you. I can’t wait to meet you.”

“I love you, Wilby.” Sally smiled, content. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too, Sally.” Wilbur breathed, holding his girlfriend close and not prepared to let her go anytime soon.

------------------------------------------------

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be.

“Fine, I’ll go with you. Just leave the baby, please.”

“A wise decision. The Queen will be pleased to hear of your arrival back into the Pod.”

“You’ll leave the baby alone, and the humans?”

“Humans?” The guard with a necklace like hers smirked, holding back a laugh. “Why would we possibly care about humans?”

Sally held her baby close one last time as she ran her fingers through the small child’s fur. She still hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. She’ll have no idea what her own mother even looks like. She moved to kiss her daughter on the forehead as her black nose sniffed intently at her scent, not knowing it would be the last time she’d smell it. Her daughter, her little miracle. “I love you, don’t forget your mother loves you.” Carefully, she set the basket in the pond and with a little magic from her necklace, moved the water to drift the baby down a small river toward L’manburg. They’d all be safe, that’s all that matters now.

“Come on, Salaria. The Queen is awaiting your presence.”

“Of… of course.” Sally turned with a sigh as she sorrowfully followed her captor through the trees and away from her home. Her real home.

------------------------------------------------------

“Take my hand

Take my whole life too

For I can’t help falling in love with you.”

Sally sat near the water with Ghostbur, her heart shattered seeing him but was happy that she was able to, at least one last time. She sat with her arms crossed on the beach, her tail submerged in the water, her necklace gone. As punishment for ‘abandoning’ the Pod, she was no longer able to shift like the others and able to travel to the surface again. Her necklace was smashed, along with her hopes of ever seeing her real family ever again. At least now she could properly say goodbye to him, maybe even apologize. She slowly finished the song as Ghostbur continued to strum, listening intently.

“For I can’t help falling in love with you.”

“I… sang this for you?”

“All the time back in the day. You were very romantic.” Sally reassured Ghostbur. “We’d sing it together sometimes, other times you just strummed it on your guitar. It’s our song. Don’t you remember?”

“No, I…” A dark blue tear slid down the ghost’s cheek. “I don’t. I really want to, though. I want to remember you. I want to remember how it felt to love you, I’m really trying, but… but I can’t.”

Slowly, as Ghostbur sobbed Sally’s hand found its way into the ghost’s. “It’s okay. One day you’ll remember, I know you will. Whenever you do, I’ll be waiting right here for you. I love you, Ghostbur.” Sally said, her eyes beginning to fill with tears. “I love you no matter what.”

Disney Femslash Request 2

Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry this last request took so long to come out! I thought I would get it done before another fanweek that came directly after Disney femslash but I ended up being wrong. But better late than never I hope!

This last request was made anonymously on tumblr: “Think you could do something for Rapunzel/Naomi?”

Thanks for the request! I was so excited to do this pairing. I’d never heard of Naomi before, but I did a bunch of research and found out she was a character on “Elena of Avalor”. And I decided to write them both going on a date in the Corona bay! I hope this was the right Naomi and I hope you enjoy!

And you can read this story under the cut or on my AO3! 

word count: 1213

Naomi had been in Corona with her family’s crew for a few weeks now. And in that time she had become rather close to the crown Princess of that kingdom. Princess Rapunzel. She was a remarkable girl. Intelligent as she was sweet and kind. Naomi knew she’d make a wonderful leader someday, much like her friend. And if she weren’t a crown royal, Naomi had wondered if she would accept being a navigator for her mother’s crew since she had such easy skill when it came to cartography and astronomy. And beautifully athletic too. A master in horseback, climbing, gymnastics, not to mention a natural-born swordsman. She was also wonderfully gifted with painting and design.

She had seen her paint in her studio in the castle but now Naomi was experiencing her talent a bit more up close. The two of them had gone out onto the water in a small boat. Far out enough one could see the whole city and the castle that towered above it all. It’s teal, bulbous spears pointing upwards like arrows, drawing the eye to the sun. The namesake and icon of Rapunzel’s kingdom.

She’d packed all her painting equipment with her onto their tiny vessel and beforehand Naomi had had her doubts. How did the princess expect to paint with her bot rocking and jerking in the waves? And yet she watched, a little dumbfounded, as Rapunzel worked in patient, tiny strokes. Slowly bringing together her painting line by line. Her hand naturally following her canvas as it naturally swayed from side to side.

“How do you even learn to do that?” Naomi found herself asking. Sure every good sailor had their sealegs, but this was on some next level. Seahands?

“I don’t know for sure.” Rapunzel replied, honestly. Still rocking in time with their boat giving her painted sky a golden sun to shine down on the half-finished city. “I think I just… try to mimic the boat so I don’t mess up? And I’m working in tiny spurts just in case I do get out of sync with the boat. I hope this turns out ok.”

Naomi tried to reassure her. “It looks amazing already. I’m sure it will be great Rapunzel!”

“I’ve never been commissioned to paint by another princess! I hope Elena likes this…”

“Don’t worry! If I know Elena, and I certainly do. She’ll adore this! She always loved hearing about the places I’ve been with my mother, and when I return with this she’ll see for herself! You’re really capturing your kingdom’s image.”

She saw Rapunzel blush slightly as she continued to work. “Aw thank you! I’ve been painting ever since I could walk. But I’ve never been classically trained… I’m still working out how to shade and lighten a piece. Make it look rally real.”

“Well, all your hard work shows!”

“Thank you!” Rapunzel stopped painting for a moment after that. Before she caught herself starring and went back to her painting.

Over the course of about two more hours. Rapunzel’s painting of the city truly came together. Near complete. And the whole while Naomi and Rapunzel kept swapping stories of swashbuckling adventures, funny moments working in castles, cursed hair, and nearly everything in-between.

As they rowed back to shore, Naomi couldn’t help but see just how together they were. Rowing in an easy unison. Still able to talk. Several times she even got the Crown Princess to sing to help them stay in time with one another. She had a lovely voice. And at one point Naomi caught herself trying to harmonize with her. But instead of stopping Rapunzel kept going, insisting they sing together.

When they finally made it back to Corona’s docks, Naomi went about disengaging their boat and tethering her securely. Rapunzel watched her move with an odd look on her face.

“Are you alright Rapunzel?”

“Oh yeah, I’m fine!” The princess came back to herself quickly and hopped off the boat, scrambling for all her art supplies. “You know you’re really skilled with knots and ships. If I were on my own, I’d probably struggling out here for half an hour.”

Naomi brushed it off, though she realized she was still smiling. “Comes with the family trade! You get a lot of practice with the like when you’re sailing every day.”

“That must be nice. Getting to see the world. Making new friends everywhere you go.” Rapunzel said a little wistfully.

“It can be fun sometimes.” Naomi agreed. “But sometimes I like having a home-base, somewhere to actually call home.”

Side by side, the two began walking through the city to the castle at its center. Naomi saw a few guards stand to attention and assume formation, following their princess. But they did give them enough space to have some privacy which Naomi was grateful for.

“Do you miss Avalor?” Rapunzel asked rather suddenly.

“I do, I made a lot of family and friends there. I think you would like it there too. Lots of magic, seems like the Crown Princess and I go on new adventures every day.” Naomi said. Talking about her home put a mixed seed inside of her. She really did miss Avalor and yet the thought of leaving here soon to go home also made her sad. It was a beautiful city, and she’d miss their beautiful princess.

“Maybe they’d have an explanation for all this.” Rapunzel said gesturing to her hair. “And how it grew back so suddenly.”

“Wait. You grew that all in one night??” The princess had enough hair to given her entire kingdom wigs for life. It was so big it sometimes spilled out of their boat if Rapunzel hadn’t kept track of it!

“Uh, yeah! And nobody can figure out why.” Rapunzel said, curling some of the golden strands around her finger. “I miss having short hair.”

“Really? What did it look like?”

Rapunzel pulled as much of her hair behind her shoulders as she could to try and show Naomi. “It came up here by my chin. It was kinda messy though. My best friend, Eugene, cut it with a broken mirror shard so it’s understandable. I liked it. It was a huge change for me.”

Naomi tried to imagine it. It would have been roughly the cut f her own hair. But it was hard to imagine it when the Princess’s hair was currently dragging on the ground at her feet.

“I was also a brunette.”

“Brunette?” Now she really couldn’t see it.

“Yep! The color of my eyebrows!” Rapunzel said proudly. She came closer to Naomi so she could see the color of her hair. But Naomi found herself fast looking into the Princess’s brilliant green eyes instead. Drawn into them almost until Rapunzel stepped back away.

She was blushing again. “Sorry if I’ve been acting weird, Naomi. Sometimes I get a little too excited. Weird people out.”

“Don’t worry about it!” Naomi said quickly. “I never thought you were strange. I think you’re pretty great, actually!”

“Really?”

Naomi nodded. “Definitely, Rapunzel!”

She felt Rapunzel carefully reach for her hand, and she happily took it. “I think you’re pretty great too, Naomi.”

And together they made their way back to the castle hand in hand. Smiling and laughing the whole way.
