This is an art side blog. Sometimes I draw, sometimes I write, sometimes I do other stuff! Anything I make I'll be dropping here though. Catch me on main @bananahwormz. And no, @DesktopUsers , those links on the side don't go anywhere... Yet! (mobile users please continue on with you lives thank you, MWAH!)
Thought I'd put together a prompt list to try and inspire me back into drawing this May! Feel free to use/edit/repost however you like. I'd love to be tagged if you use it but no obligation to! I'll be tagging mine #Mermaysmall. Text version under the cut
Mermay 2025 (Unofficial!)
Just for inspiration - no rules! Even numbers are aquatic life, odds are more random. Mix and match if preferred.
Our first all-fandoms bang! Create brand-new works incorporating elements from fairytales & folklore
This two-tier bang is designed to encourage long-form works of fiction, with options for novelettes and novellas—or longer! Authors will be paired with artists who will illustrate their stories, and teams will post together in July.
Author & Artist sign-ups will formally open in January, but the author brainstorming channel is already available!

This is an 18+ event hosted exclusively on discord.
Hello! And welcome to the ELEVENTH YEAR of Gaara Week! A Gaara focused weekly challenge leading up to his birthday! This weekly challenge will start on the 12th of January and run until Gaara’s Birthday on the 19th of January.
Feel free to draw, write, make, cosplay, sing, dance, take screenshots, make gifs, whatever you want! As long as it has something to do with each separate day’s theme, and you create it yourself.
Under no circumstance will AI generated imagery or text be allowed in any way, shape or form. This event is meant to inspire your own creativity and imagination. AI content is not and never will be welcome here.
The year 2025′s themes:
12th January - DAY 1 - Demon
13th January - DAY 2 - Breakable
14th January - DAY 3 - Prickly
15th January - DAY 4 - Casual
16th January - DAY 5 - Horizon
17th January - DAY 6 - Double
18th January - DAY 7 - Oasis
19th January - DAY 8 - Gaara’s Birthday!
Tag all your contributions with #gaaraweek and #gaaraweek2025! Make sure they’re in the first 5 tags listed otherwise they may not show up! You can also submit your creations to @justgaara or message me directly.
If you’re busy and don’t have time to join in everyday, then you’re welcome to pick out your favourites and just do a few. I will be following the tags all January, so if you don’t make it in time for this exact week, you are still able to complete the challenge in your own time. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me over at @justgaara.
You are free to create whatever you want with each day’s theme, just know that @justgaara is strictly Gaara only, so if you make something that contains anyone else besides Gaara and his immediate family I won’t be able to share it on my blog.
Know that hate or negativity of any kind will not be tolerated.
As of Monday morning, you've created 141 new works across 84 fandoms on ao3 and squidgeworld, plus dozens of posts on various social media platforms.
The queue will continue to run while we share the rest of the submitted works, and the collections will remain open through the end of the year for late additions — so don't be shy about adding your polyship creations or tagging us for reblogs!
Thanks for sharing your blorbos with us, and we'll see you again in 2025!
if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?
If I were writing about firefighters I'd also, in addition to just reading about them, take advantage of Our Blessed Internet to ask actual firefighters about how shit works. I'd do the same for a minority I'm not a part of.
I remember when there was this LiveJournal community where you could just ask about anything you needed for your novel - medicine, professions, vehicles, how things function in country X - and people who knew something about that would answer.
Remember, a world where everyone stays in their own boxes and only writes about their own narrow demographic is straight up a goal for racists. If you ever find yourself attempting anti-racism so hard you've looped back to "functionally the same thing racists want", stop, take stock, and ask yourself where things went wrong.
2 all the way up to 9 people snuggling! get cozy!!
unfortunately couldnt fit a 10th like i prefer doing so the secret 10th buddy just prefers sleeping alone weheheh,,
nearly oc-tober time again - time for some prompts for 2024
F.A.Q
do i have to draw?
not at all! you are free to participate with any medium that suits you... writing, artwork, free bases and templates, simple text posts, in-character-as-your-oc roleplay, whatever! (just no stealing or AI)
do i have to make new content?
nope! re-uploading old stuff that fits the prompts is allowed (and encouraged) ... old art that didn't get the appreciation it needed always deserves a chance to be shared again, it's a fun throwback!
do i have to post every day?
nope! only 10 days are mandatory (the ones in red with a star symbol) and everything else (yellow) is 100% optional! if you're busy or tired, please skip as many as you want
can i start early?
you can prep your posts in advance if you need to ... but please wait until the right day in october to share them!
can i re-upload your prompt list to another site?
i would prefer if you dont - i have accounts on most sites, so just reblog/retweet/share from me!
