Dorm Room 27, Episode 11: Embarrassing

The feminine urge to briefly turn a serious/intelligent person into a mindless fool and then waking them up in the middle of it so they can realize how dumb they look before you drag them all the way back down again

[definitelynotshouting]

As promised here it is, Definitelynot-tober!! the beloved @isjasz requested some alternative inktober prompts, and these are the ones i came up with! This is free for anyone to do if they'd like, should be compatible for both art and writing, and a plaintext version of the prompts will be found underneath the cut!!

Massive and insane shoutout to my incredible friends @kunehokki and @corvidaearts for making the graphic and doing the typography for this prompts list respectively!! They both went SO HARD on this 😭😭😭😭 you guys are so insane for that thank you so so much for making it!!!

Promptober! (The Writer's Version)

Hello everybody! October is just round the corner, and isn't this just the busiest time of the year for artists?

Let's squeeze the most out of 2024 by hopping in on the Inktober and NaNoWriMo trends in October and November. Personally, I'm aiming at writing between 1,500 - 2,000 words long short story or flash fiction based on the given prompt for the day!

Here's the list of prompts & inspos I'll be using for my Inktober 2024 journey <3 Comment or tag me on YOUR personal Inktober prompt lists, I'd love to take a look! Feel free to use my list for yourselves, too!

“Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month.” - Jake Parker

Another fic idea, a Timcentric one

Bruce was aware his neighbors the Drakes had a child, however he never paid any attention to them. That is until a local Gotham newspaper raises questions, asking the drakes why their son hadn’t been seen in public in four and a half years, why when school records were looked at, they showed he hadn’t attended in four years, the public raises questions ‘ where is Timothy Drake’, his parents deny deny deny, Batman and his birds realize something is wrong, Bruce realizes he should have paid more attention.

Tim has long since given up on the idea of rescue, ever since his parents sold him off to the highest bidder when he was ten.

Please let me know if anyone ends up using this prompt. I low key need someone to write based off this :):)

Wholesome Vampire Couple Writing Prompts

Eternal First Dates: A centuries-old vampire plans elaborate first dates for their partner every few decades as a way to keep the spark alive in their endless romance.

Midnight Garden: A vampire with a talent for horticulture plants a nocturnal garden that blooms under moonlight as a gift for their human lover.

Cooking in the Dark: A vampire struggles to learn how to cook their human partner’s favorite meals despite being unfamiliar with human food.

Historical Keepsakes: The vampire gives their partner unique gifts, each one a meaningful artifact from a different era they lived through, each with a romantic story behind it.

Adopted Family: A vampire couple adopts a human child and raises them, juggling bedtime stories with vampire-related hijinks like avoiding sunlight during school pickups.

Starry-Eyed: They take weekly “strolls” on rooftops or floating platforms to enjoy stargazing from impossible heights, crafting constellations to represent their love stories.

Overcoming Fears: One partner overcomes a fear for the other, like the human walking through a dark forest with the vampire or the vampire trying to tolerate daylight in brief moments for special occasions.

Art Eternal: A vampire artist paints a series of portraits of their lover over the years, highlighting how they’ve changed or stayed the same through time.

Cross-Cultural Holiday: The human teaches the vampire about modern holidays they missed over the centuries, and they create hybrid traditions blending the past and the present.

The Sanctuary Inn: The couple turns their shared home into a safe haven for supernatural beings and weary travelers, bonding over the stories of those they help.

Midnight Picnic: The vampire couple packs a picnic basket and enjoys a quiet moment under the full moon in a secluded forest. They joke about how “romantic candlelight” is unnecessary when you can see in the dark.

Sunrise Love: One vampire creates a special charm or potion that allows their partner to experience a sunrise for the first time in centuries, watching it together from the safety of their haven.

Gardening Night Owls: The couple grows a garden of night-blooming flowers and have a ritual of tending to it while discussing the centuries they’ve shared.

Halloween Fun: They decide to go to a Halloween party dressed as mortals, playfully debating who looks less convincing.

Modern Challenges: One vampire struggles to understand a new piece of technology, and the other lovingly teaches them. The frustration turns into laughter when the solution turns out to be hilariously simple.

Eternal Road Trip: They take a road trip together, traveling only at night, visiting historical sites they remember and marveling at how the world has changed.

Blood Donor Surprise: One vampire surprises the other with a vintage bottle of rare blood as a thoughtful anniversary gift.

Old Letters: They find an old box of love letters they exchanged centuries ago and spend the evening reminiscing.

Music Through the Ages: One composes a piece of music for the other, weaving themes from every era they’ve lived through together.

Guardian Angel: One vampire silently watches over their partner’s descendants, ensuring their happiness and safety without ever interfering.

Cultural Exchange: One partner, from a different era or culture, teaches the other to cook a traditional meal using modern methods, even though neither of them eats it.

Warmth of Love: On a particularly cold night, one vampire surprises the other by drawing them a hot bath filled with rose petals, just to make them feel human again for a moment.

Immortal Scrapbook: They create a scrapbook of the centuries they’ve spent together, documenting everything from major historical events to personal milestones.

Fang Carvings: One vampire carves little mementos out of wood or stone, leaving them as surprises for their partner to find.

Coven Dance: They host a dance for other vampires in their coven and steal quiet moments together amidst the festivities.

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.

:)

It's a double feature this October here at the Prompt Foundry with both Prompts That Go Bump In The Night and OC-tober.

For Prompts That Go Bump In The Night, let's get creepy with it, get in touch with our dark sides, make Edgar Allan Poe proud, and get into the spirit of spooky season!

Feel free to combine different days' prompts with each other, or combine them with other events! Use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.

Make this as scary as you want, just remember to tag appropriately!

If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see your writing and art and learn about your characters!

Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!

If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don't find your answer, shoot me an ask.

Plain text list below the cut:

1 Too many eyes 2 A whisper in the dark 3 Someone who shouldn't be there 4 Vampires 5 Blood 6 An untimely death 7 A shadow in the window 8 The darkness before dawn 9 Nobody's child 10 Open graves 11 Zombies 12 A stolen face 13 Something behind you 14 A lying smile 15 Creaking floorboards 16 Witches 17 The full moon 18 Werewolves 19 Screams on the wind 20 Skeletal remains 21 A black dog 22 Rattling chains 23 Restless spirits 24 The wrong way home 25 Icy breath 26 A forgotten name 27 Words never spoken 28 The other side of the mirror 29 Lights going out 30 An unheeded warning 31 One last chance to escape

[princessfbi]

As we begin the month of October and many of the prompt fest such as Inktober, Kinktober, Whumptober, Flufftober, Podfic Fest, and all the others that will bring new content, a friendly hint:

Do. Not. Do. This.

Reposting artwork, fic, podfics, whatever without permission or credit is stealing. It’s also just a shitty thing to do at all times but especially right now in today’s climate with AI. I know it’s sad to lose content you get comfort from but this is not the answer. All it’s going to do is drive creators away.

We share our creations with love. Please don’t be an entitled asshole in return.

[pumpkinlollipop]

Here's our prompt list for 2024!

This can be used for art, writing, whatever you like, in whatever order you like. Tag me @pumpkinlollipop and I will happily reblog your work! 🎃

Sanderstober 2024 Day 5!

I can’t art but I can do a writing prompt!

October 5: This one’s a play off a prompt from last year AND it’s a writing prompt! Take any famous character from a horror film, and create a nursery rhyme about them. You can make it completely innocent, or, like many nursery rhymes, remain dark but disguised in pretty language.

I did the 5 friends from The Cabin In The Woods movie and wrote it in the style of Edward Gorey’s macabre nursery rhymes—

That- that still counts right? 😅

Hope to do more writing prompts if any come up! 😁-Erin (aka earlgreymylove)
