Vel/Cinta Appreciation Week 2025

It’s time to celebrate our favorite space lesbians! Thank you to everyone who voted in our previous poll about dates. We decided to push the VelCinta appreciation week back by one week, so that it would take place in October instead. That way, people have more time to work on the prompts and get the word out. The best of both worlds!

The Vel/Cinta event is hosted by @chipthekeeper and @cintasvel. If, after reading this post, you have any questions that aren’t answered by our FAQ, feel free to reach out to either one of us.

- How does Vel/Cinta Appreciation Week work? The event will run from October 5th to October 11th, and there are three prompts each day that creators can use to help inspire them. 

This year we’ve decided to go with a yin/yang theme, to represent Vel and Cinta’s relationship – both the good, the bad, and how they inevitably come together in harmony despite their differences. 

For those taking part, please tag your posts with #velcintaweek2025, so we can reblog them and then create a master list with links to your works afterwards. 

It should be noted that we encourage a variety of different ways in answering our prompts. Whether that be by fanfic, fanart, gifsets, fanvids, character analysis, headcanons, graphics, rec lists etc – everything is welcome.

HOWEVER: all work must be original! Please do not repost anyone else’s fan art, gifs, or unedited pictures. AND NO AI!!!!

Vel/Cinta Appreciation Week prompts

Sunday (10/5): The Sun / The Moon / 'The moonlight overthrew you.'

Monday (10/6): Summer / Winter / 'To fix my mind, I need time.'

Tuesday (10/7): Here / Absent / 'Claw marks on your back.'

Wednesday (10/8): Fire / Water / 'I swear that I'll wake up next to you.'

Thursday (10/9): Unstoppable / Immoveable / 'Don't leave me behind.'

Friday (10/10): Pleasure / Discontent / 'Take from me what you want, what you need.’

Saturday (10/11): Life / Death / 'I see your shadow, I see it even with the lights off.’

These three prompts can be used in any way you see fit, but try not to post anything relating to a future prompt before the day corresponding to that prompt. For example, if you have written a fanfic in response to the ‘Fire’ prompt, please wait until the day of that prompt to post it.

FAQ and Rules – please read!

Does this event accept NSFW?

Yes, absolutely. But be sure to mark down your work as Mature or Explicit. If there are any major trigger warnings, be sure to include those too and, if posting directly onto Tumblr, use a ‘Read more’ cut-off so people taking part in the event can browse through entries safely. 

Can I post my work to another site (AO3, X, Instagram, etc) and share the link on Tumblr?

You sure can. This is a particularly good option for anyone looking to create explicit art – which often gets taken down on Tumblr. Also great for creators wishing to share playlists or videos.

Does my creation have to be new?

Your creation has to be something that has never been posted anywhere before. WIPs that haven’t been posted before and are now finished are A-OK to share. 

Are other pairings allowed?

You are able to include other pairings, but please be aware these must be side pairings and must not take up the entirety of the prompt. This is a Vel/Cinta appreciation week first and foremost. If they are not the main pairing, then please do not post your work under the #velcintaweek2025 tag. 

Are AUs allowed?

All AUs and any other canon divergence works are allowed.

Can I still participate in this event and submit my work at a later date?

Ideally, we would like you to post work throughout the specified week. However, we realize that people can get busy and so, even if you do miss the event by a week or two, feel free to use the #velcintaweek2025 tag anyhow. Be warned, however, that posting late may mean you do not make the masterlist we’ll post at the end of the event.

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

If you have any other questions, please reach out to either @chipthekeeper or @cintasvel and we’ll get back in touch with you ASAP!

We’re both so stoked for this event – can’t wait to see what the VelCinta community comes up with!

Saw this tweet and god i dont think ive ever wanted to scream ZARI more than rn

Cause the way it could fit both zaris?!?!?! And hear me out for a sec.

Zari 1.0 thinks of Zari 2.0 a better, more carefree version of herself. Sure, a bit annoying and waaaay too sparkly for Z1.0’s taste but she sure loves her confidence, positive attitude and fearlessness. But when she looks at herself, she just sees a person full of trauma, pain and anger. A damaged person that is so deep in her own pain, she barely even knows who she really is.

But then, if we look at Zari 2.0, she can totally think so too. I feel like Zari 1.0 for her is a strong, very smart and empowered woman that is such a good asset for the team. Z1.0 can actually help when things get complicated, but her? What is she supposed to do? Make cute lil outfits while the grownups actually fix things? She hates that part of herself. And she def thinks the team downgraded their zari for a crappier version and she will always, always be thinking how z1.0 was always the better zari.

I wrote this and now i want to die omg the lot brainrot is neverending isnt it 😭 forever cursing at the lot writers for not investing more time in them as characters

Every time I see that post about people who can’t pick what to have for dinner without AI, I want to comment “Two soups and a smoothie” but that reference might be too niche.

Whatever I'm curious.

If this gets any notes, don't make it a competition of who's into the most niche stuff, but definitely do tell me about your particular rare pair in the tags?

i'll defend fanfic for my whole life. like the joy it brings is genuinely transformative and indulgent in a way unique to the genre. it isn't meant for a market, it isn't meant to be sold or marketed. it is born out of such care and passion for a media that one must write and must share it, so other folks can enjoy it to. for no other reason than love and joy. do you know how special that is? especially in our current social and political climate.
