About, Prompt List, and Rules
This was a daunting task for me, with hosting the event and getting art done and whatnot, and uh...had several schedule slips (this was meant to be posted LAST MONTH and I still haven't left comments on all the fic submissions 💀). All in all however, I'd say that this was a massively successful event. Every prompt and alt prompt received at least one submission each and there was a wide range of participation.
There's one last thing I'd like to add too.
To everyone who made a submission, or sent in and voted on prompts, or even if all you did was simply vote in the polls, thank you for being here. You've all made it an enjoyable week, one that I felt was worth putting the time in, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of you.
Just before you go though, I have this one feedback form I'd like you to fill out...if you wanna. No pressure if you don't want to.
Though I must dash now to deal with Kieran and Juliana getting into my account. GET BACK HERE YOU TWO-
Sooooo since you two have taken over the blog now this means ya reviewed what was submitted riiigghhttt?
My question to ya both- What scenes really stuck with you? Give some highlights!
🍊 Ooh, good question. We've had to review the submissions since...well...we locked the mod out. And there were so many good submissions! It's really hard to list favorites out of them...
🍎 Why not talk about all of them? You won't havta figure out which one you like the most that way.
🍊 Ooh that's an excellent idea, Kieran! And since while we're at it...

🍊 All these submissions were great and it was really hard picking a favorite!
🍎 An' if you haven't already, do check 'em out! Maybe you'll find why we like 'em!
🍊 We've definitely overstayed our welcome though, so we'll take our leave now!
Please see my submission for Dipplinshipping week day 7 prompt freebie! I wanted to do a longer submission but I'm smack dab in the middle of planting season for spring. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this really short Pokopia crossover dippinshipping drabble!

Summary:
With a vicious storm bearing down, Kieran makes a vow to Hydrapple
Or
[“I have to go,” he mouths, “I'll come back to you. Juli and I- we-”
Kieran works past the sob in his throat, “Without you, we never would have gotten so close. You gave me the courage to battle her, to keep trying, to become her friend. I have so much to thank you for.” ]
Hey juliana and kieran, have you guys seen those alternate universe versions of yourselves? Like Kieranpon? Or juliana but if she was a blond.
🍊 Yep! We’ve seen a lot! Kieranpon is an interesting concept to think about too…two of the cuties in my life being the same being…
🍎 c-c-cute?!
🍊 Mhm! Though I have to say though…I don’t think I’ve seen a single AU where I’m blonde. I’m certainly not opposed to it, but i haven’t seen it happen at all…
For Day 1 of Dipplinshipping Week (hmm a bit too late for that isn’t it…), I opted for the family prompt. I picked it after realizing “hey, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a timeskip!” and drew Kieran getting introduced to his girlfriend’s family.
Poor boy’s brain is going a mile a minute…
Bottom panel…was a bit of a struggle but at least drawing Florian and Juliana’s hats were fun.
Opinion on Star Wars? Is Star Wars a thing in your guys neck of the Multiverse?
🍎 I never watched it until Blueberry but we only had the original trilogy imported to Kitakami for a long time. Crispin introduced me to the franchise and Julie got me into it. But it's good though!
🍎 Oh and Drayton went from makin’ fun of me for not knowin’ a clue about the franchise to makin’ fun of me for being a fan. 😒
If there was a world where you met a male, alternate universe version of Juliana (notsayingthereis), how would you react to that revelation?
🍊 Ooh you mean Florian? We actually met him on Pasio a year ago!
🍎 He actually helped get us together! Turns out he was already datin’ the me in his world when he arrived on Pasio.
🍊 Yeah every time he saw us together he had this…pained look on his face.
🍎 I thought he was jealous at first but it turned out he figured out exactly how we felt about each other and was just waiting for us both ta spit it out.
🍊 It was apparently super obvious to everyone to the point there were betting pools but I suppose it was personal to him since, you know, he’d already gone through the same thing.
🍎 I didn’t ever think Juliana would ever want to be more than friends with me. I met her for less than a week, we had a massive falling out, and then I almost got her killed. I…I felt like I should’ve been grateful if she was even my friend.
🍊 I never thought Kieran would like me after what happened, especially with what was said in the underdepths. I kinda took some of the stuff he said after we were friends again as him simply being nice.
🍎 Florian…just had enough one day and locked us both in a room while going “I’m not letting you go until the two of you talk it out!”
🍊 …I still want to shove him in a locker for that.
🍊 Did you have any works you wanted to submit but didn't get to finish in time? Don't worry! There's a catchup period for the event until April 14!
🍎 We've also got plenty of time to stay! Penny's been havin' messing with the mod, so it'll be even longer til he gets back.
🍊 See you around, all!
(OOC) I had a schedule slip lmao. Didn't get the banner I had planned for the catchup period finished and also asks kept coming through that I decided to extend the blog takeover.
And finally day 7! FREEBIE! I decided I needed to draw these two dancing at prom! This week's been rough due to me working every single day of the drawing challenge, but hey, I made it!
Pakari has noticed the account takeover, rest assured I can guarantee he'll be locked out for the rest of the day.
But in the meantime questions for you both!
How're you doing this fine Tuesday?
🍊 Oh I know. Penny’s told me that he’s filed a dozen support tickets trying to get back in and she’s been deleting all of them. 😂
🍎 We’re…not doin’ great though. Naranja had a tag-team tournament and we teamed up.
🍊 And we lost…pretty badly.
🍎 We were eliminated by Nemona and their teammate, whoever that was. They were going “I made the right choice!” when they saw us.
🍊 Nemona was really popular for choice in teammate.
🍎 I think it’s because she had the greatest chance at beating us.
🍊 Oh definitely. They were all trying to get the best way for beating us. I even head that some people tried to get Lacey and Drayton transferred here.
🍎 Sis too. Aw man, she gave me an earful. “Kiki, are you getting into fights in Paldea?! Why are people asking me to transfer over to help them deal with you?”
🍊 On a happier note, I was told by Arven that a big cake order from a well-wisher arrived.
🍊 Oh I think that’s him at the door. I’ll go answer that.
