THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

OKAY

Others have probably already done this better, but I do love flower language and I want to throw my hat in the ring here for symbolism. Here goes:

*Background flowers: white calla lilies

Very commonly found at funerals, there's also some association with chastity and innocence, particularly in reference to the Virgin Mary. Worth noting that the actual flower is the yellow bit in the center while the white part is actually more of a "leaf", bringing the idea of deception into the mix.

*Bouquet flower (white): myrtle

A very popular wedding flower, especially for British royal weddings (most every royal bride since Queen Victoria has had some myrtle in her bouquet to bring good luck into the British Royal Family). As well as being symbols of fidelity, they can sometimes be associated with "love in absence" or "remembrance" (and though they technically aren't related, myrtle flowers have the same root word as myrrh, which is used for embalming bodies for funerals).

*Bouquet flower (blue): flax

A very "domestic" flower, representing simplicity and "uncomplicated" joys in life. Kind of like a symbol of tradition, industry, or adhering to old values (especially in the context of marriage, as in "traditional roles"; New Zealand flax in particular is associated with basket weaving and wicker work, which are traditionally "feminine" hobbies/jobs).

*Bouquet flower (red): catchfly

Associated with snares, traps, and pretend love; red catchflies in particular can mean "falling victim" to love

*Bouquet flowers (all):

Grouping flowers into a bouquet combines their meanings, so this combination of flowers would likely mean something like "a traditional union based on false feelings".

the happy end

Aw, yeah! Now we're cooking with sticks!

Of course, being the person I am, I've got four ship weeks on my plate now, but these look like some good prompts, so I'm ready for the challenge!

Very pretty backgrounds, @tessenda! You sure work fast!

When I say I'm going do something, @yours-the-author, I'm going to do it.

For this, I try to do ships I don't usually see in these plus prompts I also don't usually see. This is to make you guys get out of your comfort zone a little, just to see two sticks kiss.

Small things, be sure to tag your art or fic with "thscshipweek2025", and also tag me. I'd like to see where my chaos has lead. You can also use the missing days, 30 and 31, as catch up days if you need to skip a day. Also, this is my first time doing anything like this, so criticism is appreciated. And yes... I know I misspelled August. It's too late to change it.

Guess that's all of them.

Huh? I'm missing your favorite ship? Want Thomas x Henry? Johnny x Kurt? Charles x Applejack?

Well then...

Have fun ;)

[yours-the-author]

Hey THSC peeps, is anyone planning to make shipping week prompts this year like 2023 and 2024? I crave stick yaoi.

The Henry Stickmin Collection: Completing the Mission (Super Secret Ultra Mega Rare True Ending Not Clickbait!!!!)

With two minutes to spare! I'm only a day late!

For those of you who are curious, yes, this is an actual cutscene from a video game, known as "The Town With No Name". You can find the cutscene on YouTube by looking up "the best video game ending ever".

Aw, shucks, I don't know what to say about this game; it means a lot to me, and it's really gotten me to stretch my limbs in terms of social media interaction and artistic liberty! As well as writing ability, of course. Very glad for this series and these characters! Happy Anniversary!

Oh, wow! Loving the anime intro look!!!

Me When PanPrice:

CW/TW for eye contact

It's okay, you two; I won't bite you!

...But if you happened to bite each other, I'd be cool with that.

-

I've been working on this comic for way too long! Mostly because I was extremely busy all of last week, but it's finally done! And on Yaoi Day too, I guess! That's pretty neat!

I'm... in a bit of a weird place with my writing right now; I'm mostly just trying to write anything I can when inspiration hits, but it doesn't really hit that often to begin with. I really want to finish and start posting the PanPrice Little Mermaid fic towards the end of the year, but again... inspiration stuff. You know how it is.

I am alive, though! And I'm rotating all of my blorbos in my head so much that there's not room for much else! It's actually kind of a problem! Whee!

Happy Yaoi Day!

"I don't understand what I don't like, but I don't like it."

That's such a mood, man. I don't have any advice, but I hope you feel better soon <3

(Also, I think your RHM stick human looks very cute!)

I don't understand what I don't like, but I don't like it.

I'm tired, and I feel like I'm regressing. It makes me feel bad. 💔

Maybe I'll take a break. Idk

I'm drawing like usual, but it still feels bad

I don't understand how someone can draw stickmin human in a beautiful way

He must peep the horror

Survivor's Guilt [TW: POSSIBLE EYESTRAIN AND DEATH]

"What makes you so special?

What allows you to rise when everyone around you falls?

And ...

Do you blame yourself for it?"

People who say that Rupert's life got better after Henry broke out of prison don't understand what overcompensating or internal competition or probably extreme levels of guilt do to a guy.

Lowk a character analysis essay below cut, so if you're interest feel free to read lol:

Like be fr, yes, he did excel in his career even making it to the military as a high-ranking soldier is under a year. He made it big; he earned his name and his position. He won. But at what cost?

Who had to go missing, get hurt, or get killed, for him to be where he is today? How many dead bodies did he have to witness and step over in order to make it to his position? How many of his friends were ripped away from his grasp because of his job and the people he had to chase as a result?

How many times has he probably blamed Henry for all of it; the guy who broke out of prison under his experienced eye? Who robbed the Tunisian Diamond? Who betrayed the government while he was present? Who witnessed one of the best military members sacrifice his life for the good of everyone? How much do you think he blames Dave for by not checking the package and being negligent? Does he think Johnny caused his own death by being reckless during a chase? Does he blame the government for trusting a crook and bombing the mission?

He can point fingers all he wants, and he probably does. He's trying to protect himself, protect his ego, protect his mind. He does not want to believe he played a part on all these incidents that destroyed lives. Because deep down, he probably blames himself for everything.

... How many times do you think he blamed HIMSELF for his own negligence and arrogance? Did he blame himself for Dave, his partner, getting fired when he himself was allowed to stay and rise in his field? Does he blame himself for Johnny's death? For not being a good enough driver or not stopping mid-police chase to make sure his partner was okay? If he hypothetically suggested Henry for the Tophat raid, does he blame himself for ruining everything when Henry goes rouge? If Henry complies, does he blame himself for Charles's death by not being able to stop the Tophat takeoff beforehand?

He probably feels like he's never doing enough, so he overcompensates by exceeding expectations and rising quickly. Everything is does is to make up for his singular mistake to his record, and because Henry is well... Henry, he can never make that mistake up. He cannot win to Henry. He can never live down that one fatal error for the rest of his life.

How much does he carry on his shoulders because of his one mistake a year ago? Because if I witnessed what he had, I would also be crushed under that pressure.

TLTR: I hate this man, and I'll make sure he eats asphalt 💖

Rupert: What's with the bricks? Fish: Trauma.

Alt version without the noise and progress shots are right here.

Thanks for reading the yap sesh gang, expect more bc Rupert's so fun to draw in anguish. Beating him to death with that pole Henry used in EtP.

Have a good one ✌️✌️

Seeing as how the Big Beautiful Bill just passed, here's are some websites that offer discounts on medications:

- GoodRx

- SingleCare

- Pharmacy Checker

- WellRx - this one compares prices across different pharmacies

- Cost Plus - thanks to @thedamnqueenofhell for suggesting!

Stay safe, everyone. Things are about to get much, much worse in the US.

EDIT: if you're worried about doctor/therapy appointments, see if there's a sliding scale clinic near you (and ask your therapist if they offer sliding scale prices)
