#escalinweek2021

[escalin-week]

We got some super exciting news…

Escalin Week 2021 is almost here! This year, the week of November 7-13 will be the week of celebrating our favorite lovebirds/sins with a week of music, stories, and art. Post your art, stories and more on Tumblr and Twitter under the tags #escalinweek and #escalinweek2021! Remember to include these tags in the first 5 tags of your post.

In general, this event is not NSFW, hence, we will not be reblogging explicit NSFW/gore/heavy themes. However, we will reblog mild nudity/moderate gore and such. If they’re on par with the manga, especially manga panels directly out of the manga, we will reblog them. Please make sure to tag everything accordingly and include content warning when appropriate. We will also try to do so for the sake of everyone’s comfort level.

Under certain circumstances, we may reblog explicit NSFW works: We will reblog NSFW works if they’re tagged correctly, censored in some way and posted where users must consent to viewing the work.

For visual works, this means the explicit visuals must be cut off/censored, so the work is not explicit upon viewing in the preview. A link to an external site with tags such as NSFW, smut or lemon will do.

For fanfictions, you should add all appropriate tags and/or a clear summary, and a link to the entire work (such as AO3, FF, Wattpad, etc.)

There will absolutely be no stealing/plagiarism ever accepted, to respect the hard work and efforts of the amazing creators out there. Any violations will be reported and disqualified.

The prompts this year are:

DAY 1: THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY | KISS | BLUE

DAY 2: NO LIE | WHAT IF | EBONY

DAY 3: I’M YOURS | PERFECT | YELLOW

DAY 4: IS THIS LOVE | STAY | SILVER

DAY 5: KISS IT BETTER | EUPHORIA | AMBER

DAY 6: LIKE I'M GONNA LOSE YOU | SHELTER | GOLD

DAY 7: 'FREE DAY' (CHALLENGE) | RED

The reward for participating for at least any 3 days, or the challenge, will be a 100-word Escalin drabble with a prompt of your choice by our mods this year: Nitefyre, Rory (RoryWild on AO3, author of “How It Should Have Gone” and “Searching for the Light”), and Aisling (sailingskye on AO3, author of the “All Kinds of Trouble” series). Details on the challenge will be announced within the next 2 weeks!

To show our gratitude for your support for Escanor and Merlin, we will be dropping little gifts, lovingly curated by Nitefyre, Rory and Aisling, throughout the weeks leading up to this year’s Escalin week, for everyone who chooses to participate this year!

Let us know if you have any questions. We hope you’re as excited as we are for the event! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with this year!

*Somewhere in Britannia where no-one can see anyone*

Escanor: Merlin-san, I just want to thank you for retrieving me. I-

Merlin: *putting her finger on his lips* Shhhh. It’s no big deal.

Escanor: *looking like he’s about to manifest Sunshine* M-merlin!

Merlin: I’m a glutton for knowledge and now I want to know everything about you. Everything about us. You’re not getting away this time.

Also Merlin: *smirking*

Escanor: *about to explode again* So about the d-date...

Merlin: *kissing Escanor on the cheek while steering her broom upward* Be patient, Escanor. Only three more weeks.

About 3 more weeks until Escalin week! We hope you’re getting more and more excited for the event as much as we are!

*somewhere in the Necropolis*

Escanor: Lady M-Merlin?

Merlin: Appearently, we have fans. They have more sense than our creator and want to see us together so I'm here to retrieve you.

Escanor: R-retrieve m-me?

Merlin: I didn't burn my face out of pity. We need to go. Now!

Escanor: B-but where?

Merlin: *crossing her arms and rolling her eyes* Our Escalin ship is sailing in a few weeks. I’m the captain.

Escanor: …Eh?

Merlin: You’d better get rolling so we can get ourselves ready in time for November 7. Save the date.

Escanor: *about to explode* D-d-date?

Merlin: *staring outside the frame at y’all* Yes. Date. A week long date called Escalin week 2021.

—

T - 6 weeks until this year’s Escalin week! We hope you’re as excited as we (and Merlin and Escanor) are!

ESCALIN WEEK 2021 CHALLENGE(S)!

For Day 7, while it is a “free day” when you can let your creativity run free, we want to invite you to participate in this year’s challenge, if you want to do so. We decided to split the challenge into 3 smaller ones, so you can pick and choose which one works best for you! You will only need to participate in any 1 of these 3 in order to win your 100-word drabble!

For writers: "No Words"

Because Escanor and Merlin both are the “show, don’t tell” type when it comes to loving one another, and let’s be real, neither of them really need words to understand each other <3

Write a story without using dialogues. Challenge yourself to convey the feelings and emotions through actions and descriptions in your story.

For visual artists:

"Dusk to Dawn"

Because their love story goes on every single hour of the day.

Use this specific colour palette for your work. You may also change the colours' saturation and/or brightness.

"Black and White"

Because nothing is as certain as how much they love and care about each other.

As the name suggests, your work will have to be totally black and white/greyscale. You may also utilise any shades of grey in between.

[escalin-week]

Today is the last day of Escalin Week 2021!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, supported, and enjoyed this week with us!

We had a very good time and were totally ecstatic to see all your beautiful and inspiring works!

But we don’t want to end the fun just yet. To make sure those who would like to still present their work, we will give everyone a one-week extension to post all your unfinished works, or come up with something else that you didn’t have the time to before!

(...okay many thanks to Rory's laziness for this! She's behind schedule… as always)

(Rory: I'm very sorry! 😖😅)

After this extra week we'll close the event for this year on November 20, and contact everyone who participated at least 3 days and/or did the challenge, so that they can choose the content of their prize.

Just to refresh your memory, the prize this year for each person who qualifies will be a 100-word Escalin drabble with a prompt of your choice written by this year's mods: Nitefyre, Aisling (sailingskye on AO3), and RoryWild.

Thank you again everyone! It was a super fun week for us! We hope you enjoyed it, and that you'll continue to support our beloved Escalin couple all year round!

☀️❤️🔮

[escalin-week]

*at My Sweet Gluttony, or what is left of it*

Merlin: Let’s take a rest here. I’m tired and we have a big day tomorrow.

Escanor: Not sure if this is ideal for resting though. The place’s trashed!

Merlin: *shrugs then lies down on the floor* Doesn’t matter. Don’t care. This open roof lets me see the stars anyway.

Escanor: O-okay, anything you want.

Merlin: *pats the space next to her* Join me. Actually, no, join me and make out with me.

Escanor: *about to explode* E-excuse me?

Merlin: I’ve always wanted to make out with you under the stars. Is that not alright with you?

Escanor: *projectiles nosebleed* N-no it’s m-more than alright!

Merlin: *grabs Escanor by the collar* Sweet, come here.

A few hours later

Merlin: Cuddle me as I get my beauty sleep. Gotta look my best when we lead the ship tomorrow.

Escanor: Wait... it’s tomorrow?

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, WE REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

ESCALIN WEEK 2021 BEGINS TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 7! We hope to see your amazing works tomorrow!
