Shout out to the people not doing Inktober, Flufftober, NaNoWriMo, etc. this year (or any year) for whatever reason.

Because they have prior work commitments (retail/service can be hell this time of year).

Because they’re too busy with school work or exam prep.

Because they’re dealing with chronic conditions and illnesses.

Because they have poor mental health and want to prioritise that.

Have other personal priorities and commitments.

Because they have no ideas or are between projects.

Because they don’t have energy.

Because they just don’t bloody well want to thank you very much.

You aren’t any less valid as an artist/writer/creator, and can’t/shouldn’t be pressured into doing anything you don’t want to do or made to feel bad about it.

This list is not intended to be exclusive or exhaustive, additions are welcomed.

P.S Not intended to be hate on anyone who does actually participate or enjoy these monthly challenges.

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.

:)

i know it's not all your fault and i know I'm not all faultless but there's a sound in my chest and the tune is no longer the sweet symphony of what used to be our love beating inside me. darling it's gotten dark and the light of your love doesn't reach inside me and i am sorry that i still have unfinished feelings and that i haven't worked them out. i know i have no right to be angry with you but forgive me for being so selfish to try to hold onto you. i see the end staring at me from across the room and I'm dragging my feet towards it. your hands feel cold in mine but there's still the odd comfort of familiarity in it. i wish to let you go but the thought of never feeling your pulse beating against my skin brings up a pain that is incomprehensible. your voice breaks trying to comfort me and i am reminded of all the ways i have been careless. i ask how are you but you look away and i am reminded of all the ways you've been terrible. but the love lingers with it's persistent odour despite all the ways we've been unkind. it moves. it stills. it pokes us in our chests as if accusing us of not living up to it's merit. the disappointment hangs heavy from all the corners of our hearts but our hands grip each other tighter as if we could just hold on enough everything will go back to how it was. but it is a childish fancy. i know I'll make my way across the room soon and i know you'll let go of my hand i know I'll tell you to take care of yourself and iknow you will tell me to not worry i know you'll pull me in for a hug and i know you'll not crush me to your bones like you used to i know you'll release me and turn back and i know you'll not turn around for one last time. i know I'll move on but I know I'll carry a piece of you wherever i go.

Sometimes I think to myself my heart must smell the same as my room, full of smoke and blood and air thick with the sickly sweet fragrance of regret. Maybe if these wrists drip a little more, my inner child will learn what it means to win.

A victory.

A reward.

A choice.

I hope peace tastes like the clarity I've only known to last in the quieter seconds, where a favourite song plays and suddenly the rain doesn't drip quite as heavy as before. Where you're standing at a crossing next to someone and they smile at you and say "I like your t-shirt", and flustered you say back "I like your tattoos, thanks" and go your separate ways when the lights change.

Both better, neither changed.

Where you look in the mirror to see the face you haven't felt close to in years, no longer cracked.

A ghost's perfect portrait.

If I..

If I don't talk

don't wait for my response.

If I don't come

don't call me..

If you think, I am moving alone

Than don't join me.

If you feel I am not the same. than Yes, I am updated leaving all my boundaries behind

If I am not here

Don't wait , you have a long path to cover.

INKTOBER DAY 2: SPIDERS

I didn't post Day 1 because it is not fandom related and I might only post the HxH related ones. Of course, I couldn't miss drawing the Phantom Troupe for Day 2 as they are the first thing I had in mind when I saw the prompt.

Also if you want to read my poem about the spiders, click below! If not, enjoy the drawing :>

"12 Legs of the Spider"

One little, two little, three little spider

Now tell me, where is your leader?

Arachnids scatter and long for murder

All distinguished with a little number.

Four little, five little, six little spider

Bloodshed always make them happier

"Go ahead, younglings, scamper,

"Bring me their heads after the massacre!"

Seven little, eight little, nine little spider

Forever fated to stay together

They kill and steal with no bother

How they bond, it's no wonder.

Ten little, eleven little, twelve little spider

Now the leader says "Go gather

Jewerly, scarlet eyes, bring 'em here"

Well done, spiders, tonight we prosper!

It’s October

Time to

rewatch Nightmare Before Christmas once again

look at all the prompts for this month even though I know I won’t produce anything, wether it be art or writing

put the Halloween decorations out even though I’ve literally never celebrated it

defrost my obsession with Christmas even though I don’t celebrate that either

vibe because October is my favorite month

#october #nightmare before christmas #jack skellington #this is halloween #halloween #october prompts #inktober #whumptober #writing #art #writers on ao3 #artists on tumblr #christmas vibes #halloween vibes
