I don’t usually post much but here’s a project I’m proud of be a part of! Now if I can direct your attention to this project that would be splendid ;)!
If you enjoy Malevolent, SCP, or TMA this may be right up your alley! Corporate Horror is always good fun, no?

Moderator applications are now open for the Malevolent Big Bang! The application timeline is as follows:
February 25, 12:00 PM (noon) EST: Big Bang moderator applications open

March 15, likely evening EST: new moderator(s) contacted via email
As a reminder, all moderators must be 18+ years of age in compliance with the 18+ nature of this event. No other requirements are necessary, though we are primarily looking for moderators who can serve in the following roles:
Social media and communications (posting reminders and updates on a variety of social media platforms, monitoring the Tumblr askbox and Big Bang email for incoming messages, handling reblogs during posting, etc.)
Discord server moderation (resolving conflicts between server members, enforcing the server spoiler policy, enforcing the server image description policy, answering questions that may crop up in unofficial channels, etc.)
However, we also welcome new moderators who have the following skills, as these are highly relevant for this event:
Programming (in particular, Python and HTML/CSS, as these are the languages used for our artist/writer matching and AO3 workskins/image embedding, respectively)
AO3 collection management
Google Sheets/Forms
More details are available on the moderator application, run through Google Forms. If you have any questions about the application, please email us at [email protected] or send us an ask, and good luck to all who apply!

Recently watched Del Toro's Frankenstein with my friends and my brain latched on to trying a (heavily inspired) rendition of John Doe (Malevolent) as the Creature. (I am sorry if the golden colour does not show up well - it’s VERY prominent on my computer and drawing tablet and drab on my phone. But I promise it’s there!!)
Inspired in part by Piecemeal (A Frankenstein AU) by bluejaybluesky on Ao3 for the Malevolent2025BigBang, and of course by the Creature's design in the film.
