[sephgealweek]

Hello there, Sephgeal nation! For the first time ever, we're pleased to bring to you Sephgeal Appreciation Week!! This cozy little wintery event shall run from December 21st through December 27th, during which you're all invited to partake in absolute holiday joy with our boys in the #sephgealweek tag.

Prompts can be found below. Feel free to be as creative with those as you can, and take your time working on your entries, but please don’t forget to post them in the right date, though we'll gladly accept anyone who's late as well. (But just a little late! The tag will keep being checked up to the 31st!)

Some days feature two prompts. You may pick one or another, or find a way to combine them.

===============================

Dec. 21 ⠀||⠀Day 1. Mistletoe

Dec. 22⠀||⠀Day 2. Snowfall / Fireplace

Dec. 23⠀||⠀Day 3. Hot Cocoa / Soup

Dec. 24⠀||⠀Day 4. Starlight

Dec. 25⠀||⠀Day 5. Hanahaki / Gardening

Dec. 26⠀||⠀Day 6. Solace / Memory

Dec. 27⠀||⠀Day 7. Modeoheim

===============================

Please remember to include the week’s tag within the first 5 tags or else it might be almost impossible to find your work! If you fear you won’t be found anyway, please @ this blog in your post or send a DM. Anything containing any Character/Ship Hate won’t be accepted, so avoid including those in your entries. (Making characters as villains is fine, however.) Also don’t repost anyone else’s work as your own! Definitely don’t harass other people and remember that fiction is fiction, and we're here to have a happy time!

We’re also on other platforms as well! Check us out in the links below!

AO3 Collection

Bluesky

Twitter

Don’t feel afraid of sending a message in case of any inquiries.

May it turn out to be a fun event for everyone!

[week-of-silver-winds]

Hello again, fellow Sephiroth fans! Starting October 23rd until October 29th, the 9th and 2025 version of Sephiroth Appreciation Week will be held. It’ll be a time to share your love for Sephiroth in any way you can (as in: art, fic, graphics, gifs, fanmixes and so on!) in the tag #sephirothweek. Thanks a ton for the support for nearly a decade!

The list of prompts follows, below. You’re free to be as creative with those as you can, (while always tagging sensitive content properly and minding the site’s rules) as you are also free to start working on your entries as soon as you wish, but please don’t forget to post them in the right date. (Delays are absolutely fine, but only up to 7 days after the 29th.)

Oct. 23 || Day 1. Pumpkin

Oct. 24 || Day 2. Locket

Oct. 25 || Day 3. Grief

Oct. 26 || Day 4. Library

Oct. 27 || Day 5. Angel

Oct. 28 || Day 6. Broken

Oct. 29 || Day 7. Howl

Please remember to include the week’s tag within the first 5 tags or else your work might end up unable to be found. (For the same reason, don’t separate the words of the #sephirothweek tag with spaces or dashes.) For ease of finding, it’s also highly recommended to tag this blog just to be safe as Tumblr’s tag system sometimes eats posts! Anything containing Character/Ship/Voice Actor/etc. Hate WILL NOT be allowed, so avoid including those in your entries, as well as reposted/stolen work. Feel free to leave a message here if you have any questions.

If for some reason you’re still missed somehow, also feel free to message with a link to your work! We all know how wonky this site can be at times.

And if your work is too mature for this platform and you’re afraid of it not showing up or if you want to participate elsewhere, here’s the reminder that we have a TWITTER and BLUESKY for the event! We also have an AO3 COLLECTION! Feel free to join wherever it feels best for you. Though, due to the general state of social media, everyone is highly encouraged to also post on the AO3 Collection in addition to your posting place of choice. (You can also post art or visual fanworks to AO3. Please use it if possible and if you're comfortable with that. Regardless of any delays, every work submitted to the AO3 collection will be accepted, as long as it's made for this or previous years events and follows guidelines.) For further details, please read the GUIDELINES.

May it be a fun event for everyone!

From August 8th to 15th, join us in celebrating the tragic yet wonderful love of Zack Fair and Aerith Gainsborough 🌸🐶

💐 For our fifth consecutive year, we offer a set of prompts surrounding the theme "Reunited Lovers". What sort of life would Zack and Aerith lead had they more time to spend together, in the past, present, or perhaps future and beyond?

💐 Alternatively, maybe our "Travel the World" alternate prompt set would tickle your fancy more and trigger those creative juices. Take Zack and Aerith across the Planet and visit your favorite places.

The rules are simple:

You are free to interpret the prompts however you like.

All types of fanworks, including fanart, fanfics, graphics, gifsets, video edits, and much more are welcome.

Tag us on your post and mention the prompt/day your work is created for.

Use the tags #zerithweek and #zerithweek2025 within the first five tags.

And most importantly, have fun and celebrate Zerith!

Thank you for joining us for another week of Zerith love!

🩷 More rules and guidelines on our carrd.
