BREAKDOWN:
1. Your goal is to get at least one bingo in the month of November, e.g. at least four prompts. Pick a row that appeals the most! Or you could do all of them. Prompts can be done in any order and posted at whatever pace you like during the month.
2. Most prompts can be drawn or written. You can do all drawings, all written works, or a mix of both. Some prompts don’t require either. You can write meta for prompts like 'your favorite theory' or 'headcanon' if you want to. Writing like this should have some effort; treat it as if it’s a fic-length article and not just a headline. "Make a playlist" is self explanatory; this one doesn't require art or writing at all, but you can make something go with it if you want. Anything you make must be new, or at least never have been posted before.
3. A ship does not have to be romantic in nature. Friendships, queerplatonic or alterous ships, homoerotic enemies, whatever you so please, count too.
4. Tag entries with #ibvsbingo2025 for ease of finding. I also suggest you @ my url in the post so I can reblog your work.
5. Fics should probably be under a cut if they qualify as Long Boys, or posted to ao3 with their links shared in a tumblr post.
6. Posts should include a copy of the above bingo chart with the associated prompt checked off! It can be at the bottom, at the top, below a cut, or otherwise.
incidentally:
• You can technically make whatever you want for this event, but if you make anything sexually explicit or with heavy visual gore it's really unlikely I'll reblog it.
• I probably don't have to clarify that usage of AI and anything related to AI is banned.
note for new followers: if you followed me recently for mcyt art, you may be flooded with ibvs reblogs this coming month. I plan to reblog most, if not all, entries for this event, concurrent with mcyt. if you want to avoid this possible onslaught of unfamiliar reblogs, you can hide posts tagged #ibvsbingo2025 using either the built in block list or something like tumblr savior.
or, if you're insane and are curious about the story I've been writing since I was 16 years old, ibvs (short for Isaac Beamer Versus the Supernatural) is a fannish comedy drama about teenagers with weird powers coming out of the closet and fighting formidable demon foes such as the literal onceler and barney the purple dinosaur. it can be read on ao3.
PROMPT EXPLANATIONS/HELP:
Fell/2p IBVS: Everyone is a Badass AU and Everything Sucks. Can be the one everyone else talks about (the one with pastel Nevin) or your own rendition.
Genderbent IBVS: Swaps all characters' genders/gender presentations.
Extra Supernatural IBVS: The AU where everyone is a supernatural creature. Mostly known for vampire Nevaac but can be your own thing. (consider: it's been ages since we talked about this au and there's SO MANY MORE CHARACTERS. also dez is a werewolf)
A ship you always draw/write: Self explanatory.
A ship you never draw/write: Also self explanatory.
Yours or someone else’s OC: Donut steel.
Fake Chapter Plot: Can be a 'monster of the week', or character drama. (Could be written as meta; a detailed overview.)
Crossover AU: Crossover with another piece of media. Could be the ibvs characters existing in another existing story, or characters from another story interacting with ibvs.
Something extremely edgy / Angst: Crawwwwwling innn my skinnnn these wooounds they willl not heallll
Something extremely wholesome / Fluff: Aww.
Fashion: Dress up a character or multiple of your choosing. Make them dashing.
Your favorite theory: Make it come to fruition. (Could be written as meta.)
[Free Space]
Vigilante AU: I mean, they have superpowers, what if they had secret identities too?
Your favorite character: Self explanatory.
Make a playlist: The only thing here that isn’t art or writing. You can make a piece to go with your playlist if you want. (Or you can write meta for your explanation for each song.)
Soulmate AU: Everyone is (or actually secretly isn’t because it’s a societal hoax) bound to someone by an invisible red thread. Can be any soulmate AU type of your choosing. (markings on the wrist, timers, the ability to see oneself attached to their soulmate by a thread, etc.) here's a cool post I found explaining numerous soulmate AU gimmicks.
Role swap or shift AU: Someone else is probably the school king now. AUs where characters switch roles with each other in some way shape or form.
Canon Divergence: Some event in the story happened differently, causing a branch. (Could be written as meta.)
Yandere: Uh oh.
Historical Drama AU: Fun times such as: Royalty, Arranged Marriages, Forbidden Romance, Class Disparity, Attempted Assassinations, Superstition, Rejection of Science
Coming Out: Whoa he’s bisexual I didn’t know that!
Headcanon: It’s somewhere between the lines, I swear. (Could be written as meta.)
Dungeons & Dragons AU: My custom race totally isn’t overpowered.
Bad IBVS AU: Satire. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. May include bad TV adaptation trends. Book movies from 2010. Straightwashing. Worst character arc you've ever seen happens. Cole Sprouse gets cast to play Nevin. You know what I'm talking about. Or just extreme camp.
extra notes:
• collaborations are fine and encouraged! if you collaborate with another artist/writer for a prompt (as in, work together drawing or writing something), you both would get to check it off.
• or, you could team up with multiple people and distribute the prompts amongst yourselves and all use the same bingo chart! go ham!
If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask!
NICE ATTACKS!!!
I already told you but I think it's great how you create that feeling of volume with the shading! The lighting and the inks are beautiful too!
