[heymanateewrites]

Eddie would rather things happen to him; he doesn't necessarily want to be present for them

[heymanatee]

Was thinking of some D/s Sym'bros stuff, and... well...

Someone please remind me to draw Eddie as Ariel, Curt as Ursula, and their symbiotes as the eels over the weekend.

[heymanatee]

Plot Thoughts - Aquatic!AU

Curt as Ursula, but he's a swamp witch instead of an ocean one: he's half crocodile instead of half octopus

[heymanatee]

The symbiotes are demon snakes or the product of a spell, intended to ensnare a human to become the witch's mortal servant.

People are warned to be wary and watch out around the canals, lest one of the witch's snakes infests you with their poisons or possesses you.

Villagers carry woven charms that look like spider webs to ward off the witch's snakes: the webs are meant to (symbolically) catch and tangle the evil creatures, thereby protecting the person.

The whole village is part of the Spider Sect, worshipping the Grand Spider, who weaves the world's fate in its webs.

[heymanatee]

Eddie is a traveler who goes around collecting folk lore, myths, and legends. He roots out the origin of these tales and then does his best to debunk them.

(aiming to make this rustic but timeless, and 50/50 on if magic is really real or not)

The village isn't really keen on his work, the priests call it blasphemous, so no one really goes out of their way to do more than give him a single warning about staying away from the murky waters.

This, of course, makes him a perfect target.

The next morning, Eddie feels sick and feverish, but he pushes thru it. He works the best he can, hearing stories and taking notes, and winds up at the bar as soon as it opens; by the end of the night, he's stumbling and hearing voices whispering, but he thinks it's too much alcohol.

By the second morning, it's clear that there's something wrong with him, but no one will let him come near, warding him off with their tokens. Finally, the village doctor agrees to take a look, but soon, the doctor calls for one of the priests, who insist that he must leave before he brings worse misfortune on himself and the whole village.

All Eddie can do is listen to the whispering voice, letting it lead him out of town and deeper into the wooded swamps.

[heymanatee]

Frick it:

Mary Jane is a priestess with limited magics.

MJ is her body guard-in-training, and she's being taught by Gwen, who is a former mercenary, highly-prized as both a fighter and protector.

The 3 Peters are all acolytes, gathered from different villages who are training under Mary Jane after displaying some form of magic when protecting their homes from other elemental witches and/or monsters

Ned is a cook/ camp guide

Harry is the prince of the land. He presides over everything from the nearest town (3x the size of the village Eddie was in) and has summoned Mary Jane and her acolytes from the Spider Sanctum in order to deal with the swamp witch, after his own wizard was injured in an attack by Curt's minions when traveling between villages.

(lol, sorry Eddie: looks like you're the damsel in this story)

[heymanatee]

Bringing this back... Might do something with this for Mer-May, dunno yet...

[heymanateewrites]

Time for the annual reblogging of this idea, just in case it sparks some new inspiration for me to work with as I continue to add tiny bits and pieces to it.

This year's addition to the chain is the only bit of writing I've ever actually managed for it:

(Eddie’s first sighting of the The Curt’odile)

A dilapidated shack came into view between the trees. It sat hunched over, leaning slightly to one side as it lurched out of the swamp, as if it might collapse back into the water at any moment. On the porch, half in and half out of the open doorway– open, but not empty –was a body draped across the wooden boards. Its pale skin was dappled by the shadows, long stringy hair possibly once blond but clearly taken over and tainted by the moss that crept over everything in the swamp’s domain. The witch’s previous victim, perhaps?

But as the boat ominously glided through the murky waters, drawing closer and closer to this rotting structure, Eddie saw the body rise, levering itself up with its one arm and started to drag itself forward.

And forward.

And forward.

Eight– no, ten– maybe even twelve feet long, a monstrous shape emerged from the darkness inside. As he tried to take it all in, he realized that what he mistakenly took for dappling shadows on skin were actually scales, patches of murky greens and browns, as deep in color as the water weeds that thrived in the muddy banks. The human torso continued down and blended into a sort of reptilian shape he had never seen before: a wide, barrel-like body with two sets of thick, stubbly legs spaced out from one another and placed on either side of what could have been flattened hips, a shape that eventually tapered off into a long, club-like tail. 

This man, this monster, whatever it was: Eddie struggled to comprehend it, but one thing was clear.

He was in the presence of the Swamp Witch.

[heymanateewrites]

2026 addition:

Something something Eddie realizes that Curt has poor eyesight, finds broken shards of crystals and figures out that he set his serpent servants to capture someone to read his book of spells for him. Tries to make a deal about getting him ground-glass lenses (made from pure sand fused in furnaces by skilled workers) in exchange for his freedom.

This leads to how Eddie crosses paths with his would-be heroes maybe?

[polyamships]

[ID: Text in the center says Polyam Shipping Day, 14th of every month, June 2026 - Hand Holding. Below Polyam Shipping, and to the left of Day, is a red infinity sign that finishes in a heart on top. Surrounding the text are rows of stylized hearts in the colors of both versions of the polyam pride flag (black, red, bright blue, light green, dark green, light blue, navy). /end ID]

June 14th 2026 is our 56th Polyam Shipping Day!

For this month, our optional prompt is 🤝Hand Holding 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

There are many reasons for hand holding, both romantic and platonic. It could be affectionate or supportive. A light tentative hold, a caressing touch, a grounding comfortable gesture or a tight grip of desperation or pain. A hold pulling someone up from certain death or away from other danger, or tugging towards something good, onwards to adventure! How do the characters feel about hand holding; do they assume a certain meaning that could lead to misunderstandings? Is it something negotiated or an important relationship signifier? If it's a first step on a date or with a crush, who initiates and how do they decide to take that risk? This is also perfect for the 'X has two hands' meme/trope.

As per usual, you’re welcome to create for any of our previous prompts as well!

–

We’ll be tracking #PolyamShippingDay, and keeping an eye out for any @polyamships mentions too. We will reblog any polyam-positive fanworks featuring polyamorous ships of any configuration/type from any fandom. All ratings are welcome but anything nsfw/triggery should be warned for and behind a read more, as should very long tumblr fic.

You can also submit works directly to the blog or send us asks to let us know to check your blog for a post. If you’re posting on AO3, our collection name is ‘PolyamShippingDay‘ and you can post to the collection here. Only fanworks submitted/@ us on tumblr or in the official AO3 collection, or fanworks posted to our Dreamwidth community, are guaranteed to be included in our roundup. Please also let us know what prompt you created for, if any - people are always welcome to create for past prompts instead.

We have a Discord - invite here - if you want a place to chat about your ships or what you’re creating for them. We also have a Bluesky account if you would like to post any works there (although we cannot guarantee they’ll be on the tumblr roundup, we’ll definitely share them on the Bluesky account.)

We look forward to seeing what people create for it. If you’re enthused about the day, we’d be especially appreciative of any reblogs to help spread the word about the event.

2026 Four or More Bingo

AO3 COLLECTION

Guess who's back, back again???

I have a vision: a world where we can read about polycules and complicated relationships with four or more people until our eyes hurt and our hearts can't take it anymore. Last year, our collection reached 100 works! Can we do better this time around? (I sure hope I do, on 2025 I didn't even finish my own card lol)

Let me introduce: the 2026 Four or More Bingo!

This is a low-stakes, personal challenge. There's no penalty for not finishing or running late.

All works must be your own and not previously posted. AI generated works will be deleted from the collections.

You may combine these with other events, as long as the other event allows it (examples are @polyamships polyartober, lyricaltitles challenges, etc). Yes, that means you can combine this with our 2026 Pride Event as well!

Small fandoms welcome!

Don't forget to comply with the community guidelines.

Just heard about someone with the name "Julia" that apparently likes to go by "JuJu Bee", so now I've got to use that somewhere.

[heymanateewrites]

I know where I'm gonna use this now

[heymanateewrites]

I love writing dialogue exchanges between Peter and Eddie.

There is going to be so much dialogue in this, sorry not sorry

Plot Thoughts - PolyshipWeek'25

Day 1: only one bed/ Metamours - could be a continuation of last year's day 5, told from Venom's POV as the humans finally get some rest after Peter's fever breaks.

Day 2: supernatural creatures/ in the kitchen/ rain - could be a continuation of last year's day 2, picking up with Peter and Veddie helping Curt soothe Val.

Day 3: sharing clothes - could be a follow up to last year's day 1, maybe with Eddie sharing not just his hoodie, but also why it's so important to him, with Peter

Day 4: aro&ace-spectrum/ beach - could be connected to last year's day 3

[heymanateewrites]

Thinking about these again...

Convincing myself that even tho the event is over, I can still use the prompts/ ideas, it's not illegal, there's nothing stopping me...

[heymanatee]

Was thinking of some D/s Sym'bros stuff, and... well...

Someone please remind me to draw Eddie as Ariel, Curt as Ursula, and their symbiotes as the eels over the weekend.

Venom hyping Eddie up for "being so brave for me", but it's just Eddie making it thru a long ass regular day where everything fucking sucks.

[heymanateewrites]

Eddie, takes 5 seconds to miserably-- but quietly --groan into his hands: Tell me I'm doing a good job...

Venom: You are doing such a great job! The best version of this job done, ever, by anyone. You have this, Pal! Champion level of doing this job? This guy, right here. Ladies, do not worry: he has got it. Such a good job!

Eddie, back to work mode: ...yeah... thanks, bud.

[heymanateewrites]

Plot Thoughts - Venn Diagram!AU

Context: after yet another attempt at a threesome where Eddie and Peter get off, and Curt is left semi-forgotten in their energetic enthusiasm, Peter once again sleepily begs Curt to let him keep going, only to be turned down because he's clearly too tired, so Peter switches tactics to insisting Eddie picks up the slack by sharing his post-sex shower time with Curt (something Peter frequently suggests, but is always rebuffed by both Eddie and Curt)

But this time, something about the way Curt deflects Peter's suggestion rubs Eddie's ego the wrong way, and he insists on Curt joining him. This clearly takes Curt aback, but he warily agrees to go along with this change.

Now trapped in an awkward situation of his own making, Eddie uses the opportunity to confront Curt instead...

Curt: I'm older than both of you. Practically both of your ages combined. That makes me slower, it takes more time and effort on my part.

Eddie: So why don't you have Val--

He cuts himself off sharply when Venom makes a noise in his head, a sort of throat clearing sound that warns him to stop. talking.

Curt finishes the thought anyways in a deadly neutral tone.

Curt: What? Fix me?

Eddie: ...no. No, of course not! ...I was going to say 'help things along'...

Curt will never admit that she already does.

[heymanateewrites]

Plot Thoughts - Veddie/ Symbrock

Venom hyping Eddie up for "being so brave for me", but it's just Eddie making it thru a long ass regular day where everything fucking sucks.

[heymanateewrites]

Eddie asks Venom to hype him up; Venom does, but then Eddie pulls the "yeah, but you're only saying that because I asked you" depression card, which just confuses and frustrates Venom.

Venom: I do not like it when your brain is like this

Eddie, *long deep sigh*: yeah, me neither, bud

And then he Makes him understand that the (depression) brainworms are lying to him and that Venom very much does mean what he says when he tells Eddie how great he is/ how much he cares about him.

[heymanateewrites]

Eddie: Tell me I'm doing ok

Venom: You are doing great! You are doing a very awesome job! The best job anyone has done at this. I am so proud of you, Eddie!

Eddie: Thanks pal

Eddie, thinking: he's lying, but I appreciate it

Venom: ...I am not lying

Eddie: No, I know, but you only said all that cuz I asked you to.

Eddie, thinking: he doesn't really mean any of it

Venom, feeling offended: I mean *all* of it. I would not say it if I did not think it was true.

Eddie, thinking: stop listening to my thought--

Venom: Maybe *you* should be the one to stop listening to your thoughts!

Thinking about this again...

Thinking about Peter calling-not calling Curt a hypocrite for being so reluctant to choke Peter, while enjoying it in private; thinking about Curt arguing how it's different, there's no safe way for him to indulge Peter, where if something went wrong for *him*, Val could breathe for him thru their skin, and Peter getting so distracted by the science that he completely gets side tracked and the argument gets dropped (for now)

A coworker told me a story about how her 2yr old is becoming very vocal, but words aren't always very clear (the kid is trying to say "sit" but it keeps comes out as "shit" and is very hilarious)

Which made me think about colorblind baby!Peter trying to tell the adults around him that is teddy bear is missing

Peter: Where Teddy?

Richard, hands it to him: Here you go, Bug.

Peter: Not Teddy. Gay.

Richard: ...

Richard: ...

Richard: Oh! The-- right, you can't see red. No, Bug, it looks grey, but it's really your red Teddy, I promise.

Peter: Gay.

Richard: Grrrrey. Grr. Grr. Grrrrey.

Peter: Gay Teddy

Plot Thoughts - dialogue to use (somewhere)

"You shouldn't do that."

"Are you telling me not to?"

(edit: alt: are you telling me to stop)

"... I'm saying you *shouldn't*."
