"But this isn't how investigations are done!"

Blackbright week day 1 FINALLY o my god I cant believe I`ve actually done it, it`s almost like otherworldly powers were stopping me from finishing this drawing. I donk really care how far I am behind, I really want to finish the whole week, but I will draw at my own pace. About this drawing- yeah, they are playing cluedo. No, I`ve never played cluedo in my life. But I imagine Bobby being pretty serious about how they portrait detective work in media. This drawing were inspired by my tabletop nights with my friends✌.

Hey everybody, if you have a moment, please send a kind thought towards Mod Sasha (@babeclownart); she's currently trying to get through to @support to get her blog unshadowbanned after having it mistakenly marked as spam.

Mod Sasha is the founder of Blackbright Week, and is also the artist behind most of the art we used this year, including the retro banners and the main promo image above-- she's got a spectacular sense of color and stylization, and it was a treat to get to collab with her on this event! She really has been a key to everything behind the scenes, so if anyone would like to drop a kind word her way I know it would be appreciated. :) She won't be able to respond until the issue is fixed, but she will be able to read!

hey simon! what would you say is your favorite thing about bobby? he certainly has a lot of great qualities, but which do you find most endearing?

Cheeriest Reader,

He certainly has a lot of qualities. His amazingly straightforward sense of justice, his voice that carries, possibly for miles, his willingness to drop anything to assist another....

Hm. I thought it would be easier to pick out the endearing from the annoying...

I think his perseverance would have to be the one, however. I told him repeatedly not to waste his time attempting to 'reform' me, and he never once took that advice into account. After his experience with that spy, he has maintained a sunny disposition, despite the circumstances and the long term effects... His emotions are wild, yet he never seems to let anything get him down for long..

....I seem to need a moment. Continue sending questions, pay me no mind.

Surprisingly emotional,

-Simon Blackquill

#oh! I missed this in the tag the first time! #this is really sweet 🥹 #blackbrightweek #day 4: free day

... and with that, Blackbright Week 2023 officially comes to an end!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated-- we saw art, memes, writing, and even a guest appearance by one of the local ask blogs, plus support from all the wonderful readers, viewers, and commenters. Thank you all so much-- we had a blast, and hope you did, too!

To anyone who still has pieces they'd like to submit, don't worry! Late entries will be welcomed with open arms; the mods will keep an eye on #blackbrightweek, and if you mention @blackbrightweek we should see it right away.

Keep your eyes posted for a full wrap-up this weekend (or next, if things get hectic🤞), but for now, I'd highly recommend checking out the archive here, the other branch of the event over on twitter, and the official AO3 collection. There are some real gems on each platform, and we'd love for all the creators to get a little love!

Thanks again, everyone, and hey! Let's do this again sometime, eh?

#blackbrightweek #blackbright #ace attorney #and with that-- mod gigi signing out! 🫡 #at least until it's time for the recap #or some more late submissions ;) wink wink ;) #mod gigi 🌻

@blackbrightweek day two: domestic

my favorite genre of picture to draw tbh 🫂✨

#🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 #always time for a cuddle 😊 #blackbrightweek #day 2: domestic

[blackbrightweek]

Good morning everyone! For the final (ish!) time!

We've made it to the final day of Blackbright Week! And what a blast it's been-- but it isn't over yet!

Today's theme is Summer 🌞 How does our dynamic duo deal with the heat? Do they stay indoors with the AC on? Do they go to the aquarium-- or the beach? Is Simon even capable of getting a tan? So many questions just waiting to be answered!

#blackbrightweek #day 7: summer #oh! and if anybody else is running behind on the days-- #worry not! #we'll still be watching the tag and reblogging things here even after the week is over #(which is good for me personally) #(as I am SEVERAL days behind 😅) #mod gigi 🌻

@blackbrightweek day 6: alternate ending. There was supposed to be more to it but in short, Simon is not acquitted. Also Bobby was real but, I can’t get it done

#oh we're going in to the sad ending today! #I really like this #Simon looking out the window for what may be the last time... #that's some good sadness right there #day 6: alternate ending

[blackbrightweek]

Good morning, and happy Friday, everyone!

Today's prompt is Alternate Ending- what's another way that you think things could've gone? A happy ending or a sad one; it's up to you!

#blackbrightweek #day 6: alternate ending

[blackbrightweek]

Borrower AU! My favorite book and game to play when I was a kid. :)

I imagine Simon and Taka have a home in a hole in a tree somewhere; she sleeps in the center, and Simon has carved/built little hollows and additions into the wooden walls for his living space. They stay away from the human house mostly, but sneak in through a cracked basement window sometimes to borrow this and that.

Bobby would be a house borrower. My sister had the idea that his aviators are a pair of thick plastic ones that used to be a doll accessory, and I imagine his bag is full of bang snaps to use to fend off mice or spiders.

These two are for @blackbrightweek's Free Day, and I've got some more characters in progress, too!

#oh me oh my #I wonder who made this? #anyway bonus trivia: taka here is a sharp-shinned hawk #about the size of a dove 🕊️ #day 4: free day #blackbrightweek #mod gigi 🌻

@blackbrightweek day 5: Darkness/Light. this prompt was.. difficult

#looking cool! #I like the way you've drawn their outfits here #plus the little angel and devil are too cute 😆 #day 5: darkness/light #blackbright week

[blackbrightweek]

Apologies for the lengthy delay in responses, readers, life has been quite busy of late. I will get to the last few asks in my inbox soon.

That said, it has come to my attention we are on the tail end of a so-called blackbright week, and am curious how the lot of you see us.

As such, I must open Pandora's Box, and answer any questions any of you have about our relationship to eachother.

With apprehension,

-Simon Blackquill

#oh this sounds fun! #blackbright week #day 4: free day

[blackbrightweek]

I saved these specifically for Blackbright week bc I knew it was coming up when I made them. Free Day Meme Day.

#free day meme day!! #these are incredible! #day 4: free day

[blackbrightweek]

Good morning afternoon, everyone! 😁 Had a bit of a power outage where our mod's located, so things are ever so slightly out of sync-- but we are officially in day 5!

Today's theme is all about duality: Darkness/Light.

Happy posting, everyone! And don't forget you can check out our AO3 collection, too, as a writer or a reader.

#blackbrightweek #day 5: darkness/light #day 5.... like AA5?? 🤔🧐🤯 #much to think about there

[blackbrightweek]

@blackbrightweek day 4: free day. An ex-convict being scared of roller coasters is funny ok

#this is so cute! #haha poor Simon 😆 #and Bobby's too caught up in the joy of reaching 'Bobby' status #blackbrightweek #day 4: free day

[blackbrightweek]

Good morning everyone! Hope you're having a great Blackbright week!

It's the Free Day today-- the perfect time to let your creativity run wild!

We're so excited to see what everyone creates!

@blackbrightweek day 3: haunted. There’s a drawing and then the stock image is basically what happens after.

#I love this! #Jinxie looks so adorable in your style! #blackbrightweek #day 3: haunted
