Long time no see! Guess what! The zine is practically done! The physical sample will be ordered tomorrow! Meaning: Pre-Orders will take place soon!
Mark your calendars: Pre-Orders for Boutons d'Or (A Buttercups Zine) will officially open on August 1st, 2026, and will close one month later, on September 1st, 2026!
Please note that all profits related to the zine (except the production costs) will be donated to The Trevor Project!
Thank you so much for your support! Let us know if you have any questions! :D
Suprise, it’s all of them! But tiny!! (Most of em are at least XD)
It’s quite late at this point, but I couldn’t bring myself to post this till it was 100% done (srsly I haven’t stopped drawing since 10am yesterday...)
This event has been so much fun to take part in, genuinely can’t thank the mods enough for hosting it. Especially for all the little comments with every reblog, they always made my day <3

Below is a collection of every piece I made this month, along with some fun facts about the theming behind them all! (warning it’s pretty long lol sorry)
As mod evee correctly guessed, I spent this month designing a deck of Lifer Cards! These were all the players cards in order.
Note: The colors actually aren’t random! I split them up into groups of three, then from each group assigned red to the Lifer who’s most well known for being red/a character they play on red or just have a very “red life” kinda attitude. From the remaining two, the green became the one who typically survives longer and then yellow the one who often dies earlier.
The winner cards were definitely some of my favorites to make. Designs & hybrid headcanons are lowkey my favorite part of this fandom.
While I tried to keep the celestial winners stuff to a minimum, I did include their symbols in the corner hearts. In order, they’re meant to be: The Sun, stars, Moon, Mars, Earth, comet, & deimos (Mars’ moon)
I could yap on and on about the design choices I made on the winners themselves, but just to point out a few of my favorites:
Many of them have bandages of some kind, with a variety of neatness depending on who would have tied them. (Grian/Scar, Scott, Pearl, Gem, etc)
To be more character specific, the dark purple symbol on Scott’s forehead is meant to be a scar of sorts, displaying his failure as a Boogie. In full, I imagine it would expand all the way down his back.
Lastly, their skin & hair colors were somewhat based off their environment/my season headcanons, with Martyn & Grian having a tan/sunburn along with sun bleached hair while Scott’s skin has more of a bluish tone and a frostbite-reminiscent blush (not sure how else to describe that effect)
Finally, the “event cards” aka the miscellaneous ones. These ones were very hit or miss for me, but I generally like how they came out.
Fun fact about today’s card! Each of the mini Lifers is actually hanging around the winner of the series they best performed in. Unfortunately no one else’s best performance was Double Life, so Pearl is all alone :[
I plan to do a design for the back of the cards too at some point but currently all I wanna do is sleep for ten hours so sorry but none yet (i’ll prob edit or reblog w/ it later)
And that’s my LiferADayJune 2026 completed! Once again, this was such an amazing event to take part in, and I hope to see it held again in the future. Another huge thanks to the mods, and also to everyone who’s liked, rebloged, and especially commented on my posts. It all means more to me than I could ever express and motivates me to keep posting my art, so yea so many thanks and hope to do this again next year!
