Youson Week 2026

welcome once again, survivors, to Youson Week!

Youson Week is a prompt-based art challenge designed for DST selfshippers of all kinds and characters. it started out as a way to highlight self inserts and ocs specific to Wilson, and has now flourished into a general appreciation for selfshipping within the DST fandom. it is also inspired directly by Maxwil and Weslow week!

Youson Week starts annually on May 19th, and will be held for 7 days. we have about a two week grace period for people that have to start late, or take their time on their submissions! here we will be highlighting all entries, tagged by their artist handle, the year, and the prompt day. (i.e. #mxboxlocks, #youson week 2026, #day 5)

AUs will be listed by their names (i.e. 'the darker side of science au'). if an au shares the same name or it's a common concept, it'll have the artist name first (i.e. mxboxlocks swap au).

these are the guidelines! important ones are highlighted in blue:

crossover ships are literally awesome, so they're allowed too! last year we had wilson x megaman and i sincerely adored every bit of it

your prompt can be in art, writing, music, animation, or any other medium you deem fit!

you do not have to be "good" at any of the above to participate. everyone is welcome!! art is art!! make the things!!

your prompts must be ship related, whether that be romantic or not. yay, familial and platonic selfships!

your submissions don't have to be your selfship; if you want to lift up others' selfships, do so!

you can prep for the week in advance, but don't start posting until May 19th to avoid confusion!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FINISH THE WEEK OUT!!! IF YOU NEED TO STOP, THEN DO SO!!! your health is important and this is for fun please don't stress lol

use the tag #youson week 2026 and @ me (dst-youson-week or mxboxlocks) when sharing your works, so we can see them!

and with all that said, drumroll please...

HERE ARE YOUR PROMPTS, SURVIVORS! remember - Youson Week doesn't start until May 19th! you can start prepping now, but don't start posting until then!

remember! you've got a two week grace period, so take! your! time! and HAVE FUN!! good luck, everyone, and stay awesome!

they'd like to be on the lunar island when their sanity is fucked, but otherwise hates it.

also the reason im doing two this day is because i was literally sleeping for almost 4 days straight. i am terrible at staying awake during certain times of the month.

Youson Week-Day 1: Pre-relationship

(Yes I am insane enough to do all these three weeks at once, sue me

Hosted by @mxboxlocks

I actually began drawing this the second the prompts came out, but I'm a silly billy who wanted a fully drawn background so. That was something

I think I've mentioned this before, but Wilson and Wixen were penpals before the Constant. They didn't talk much, but for two hermits rarely going outside, it felt special.

Alts bellow the cut, including background

[dst-youson-week]

I think you missed my day 1 for 2026.

Oh, also, since I am 100% not making the rest of the days by the deadline, should I still tag you or nah?

tag me always so i can archive!

also, i will be reblogging that now lol. sorry about that!

Youson Week

Day 7: Roseate

Gonna be honest I struggled a bit trying to figure out what to do for this one. I wanted to do something kinda Beauty and the Beast inspired, mainly because I remembered there was a rose in the Disney movie, though I'm not entirely convinced it comes across.

Also we're all going to pretend those flowers definitely look like roses and not... Idek what.

@dst-youson-week

[lazy-black-kitty]

God those drawings turned out shitty today

Day two of youson week by @dst-youson-week

Yaaaaaay I finally was able to draw-

It looks kinda bad, but for my defence the room i was drawing it in was kinda dark, so I didn't see clearly what I was doing

Also

I don't think I showed ber before. Meet Tori - my second self insert dst oc. I have been working on her for a while now, but her design is still not finalised, so sorry if she looks a bit awkward.

Tori has a bit of self-sacreficeing issues lol

I want to make comic with her at some point, but Susan taked priority, so idk when I would get to it (However I can already say that her comic would be 18+ due to gore and heavy topics)

Day 7: Roseate @dst-youson-week !!

I have a soft spot for the Roseate skinset for being the "romantic" set, plus Wilson with dyed hair... <3 Idk, gentleman scientist going for the red streak is..yeahg, yeah ♥️

Just romantic stuff for the last day of youson week. They get to have nice clothes for once and a kiss, as a treat.

Little bonus bc I can't envision skins without the sprite work so uhhh Ignore the quality drop..
