Get ready for the Solstice! ☀️🌙

Join creative fans of I Was A Teenage Exocolonist in this mini Exo Week event, where we'll be sharing fanworks from June 18-21, leading up to the night of the solstice. Depending on if you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, the June Solstice on June 21 will be the longest day or longest night of the year, and mark the start of summer (dust) 🌻 or winter (quiet) ❄️. Whether you draw, write, sew, mod, sculpt, or anything else you can think of, you're invited to participate. There are only two requirements: 1. that your fanwork be related to IWATEX in some way, and 2. that you make it. Start on your creations as early as you want and make as many as you want. Use the prompts or come up with your own. Just remember to wait until June 18-21 to share your works publicly, and use the tag #exosolstice2026 if you'd like your posts to be reblogged here! ☀️ Frequently Asked Questions: [Click] 🌌 Exo Week on BlueSky: [Click] 🌙 Send an ask: [Click]

Hey exocolonists! 🌠

After an incredible turnout earlier this month, I'm happy to announce that we had just over 100 submissions for Exo Week 2026 on tumblr, and even more when you count other sites. 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined in; it was a much greater response than expected, and we truly showcased how passionate and totally normal we are about this game. I hope you had fun and met some new friends in the community!

That said, I'd love to hear from you about how I can make next year's Exo Week even better, and maybe organize more fandom events in the meantime.

Please fill out this (anonymous) survey if you have a few minutes:

One final reminder to take this survey if you're interested in providing feedback on how this event runs and other ones you would like to see!

Based on the responses we've gotten already, we will have another prompt list event around June 21 for the Summer Solstice. ☀️ Stay tuned for a formal announcement in the coming weeks, and the prompt list sometime around mid-April -- well in advance of the event, like last time, so hopefully everyone has a chance to participate regardless of schedules. :)

Thanks for your help in making these events fun for the whole community!

#exoweek #iwatex #iwate #i was a teenage exocolonist #also looking at a bingo event with badges for SOLtember because of the interest in that but no promises yet!#I'd rather focus on making each event well-organized & memorable than trying to load up the whole year. we shall see 👀

I had just finished horticulture school when I started the game, so you can imagine what jobs I gravitated to in it :D And then in August last year I got overwhelmed by an idea for a story and it hasn't let go of me since, I have thought about it every day and worked on it on most of them, trying to put in as much knowledge and experience from working with plants as I could! And tried to research what I didn't know. The story branches off in Late Dust of Year 16, when a giant fertilizer bag (one of those that can weigh up to 600 kg/1322 lb) puts You in a coma when it falls from a shelf in Geoponics.

The lesson is: take workplace safety seriously, or live with the consequences.

An outside perspective on our time-looping hero, over the course of many years.

(alternatively: hey, ever think about how dang strange Sol must come across sometimes?)

At first, you look out the viewports of your new home every day, to try to remind yourself that between the first ten years of drudgery on one spaceship, and the current stint of drudgery on another, you had a life on a planet. But seeing the constant rot and decay outside makes it worse. You stop looking. Maybe it’s better to pretend you’ve been in space the entire time.

When your childhood bestie kills your boyfriend, things are pretty bleak. Inspired by my first playthrough, where it all went very, very badly. Major spoilers for the Tangent’s Cure ending.

Last day of exoweek complete!!!!! I mixed day 6 and 7 (secret admirers and polyamory). I tried to get everyone’s personalities to shine through in their admission of feelings and I think it worked out well (Nomi’s pose is my favorite!) I referenced Marylin Monroe’s “Dimonds are a girls best friend” to get everyone in frame.

Hey exocolonists! 🌠

Just a few notes as we start winding down here:

1. I'll continue to check the exoweek2026 tag until Monday night (EST) for any late submissions.

2. I know of at least one post that didn't appear in the tag despite being tagged properly, so if I missed yours, please comment with a link to it.

3. If you didn't have time throughout the week to check out the many incredible fics written for this event, be sure to take a look! I rounded them all up under one fanfiction tag for convenience.

4. Keep an eye out for a post-event survey coming up sometime soon. If you want to give feedback to help make next year's Exo Week better or maybe even see more events like it, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks and talk to you soon! 💙

Teenage Exocolonist x Changelings

happy last day of exoweek!!! while i was working on my fics for this week, i also got some inspiration for my OCs. they live in a fantasy world, but what if they lived on Vertumna?

i don't like drawing humans, so this is just notes on what their augments and favorite jobs would be. check out this amazing commission of them by @lovemoroporo to see what they look like :)
